Excerpt from The Coraddi, Vol. 24: Magazine of the North Carolina College, Greensboro, N. C.; October

The age of a tree is told by the number of its rings; and as each year's layer of green wood is added the inner layers become more compact and firm. So each year in the history of our college is marked by a broadening-out and by an inner development. It is apparent that last year's ring was a broad one for we begin this year with a number of advantages which last year could not show. We have a fine new dormitory a spacious wing to McIver, wide cement pavements in place of narrow board walks, new combination post office boxes, a hamdsome roomy office for the registrar, a beautiful new grand piano, a splendid college newspaper and a large number of new faculty. Let us be as worthy as we are proud of our new possessions, and perhaps this year's ring will even excede last year's.

College spirit is invisible and intangible but it should be in everything we think and do. If we had the proper college spirit our attitude toward each other the faculty, and the college would never be subject to petty rules because we would rise above them and they would no longer be necessary. The substitution of a bigger, finer college spirit for rules and regulations would not mean freedom to do the things prohibited by our present laws but it would mean self-restraint and active work for the welfare of the college, not because the "Handbook says so" or "a Board member might see us" but because wherever we go we represent the North Carolina College for Women and we can make or mar its reputation.
