June 8, 9 Re-examinations HOW TO REACH DAVIDSON From the South, Eastern North Carolina, and the North, passengers will come to Charlotte. There are four passenger trains each day over the Southern (A. T. and O. division) from Charlotte to Davidson, just 22 miles due north. From the West, passengers come by the Asheville division of the Southern, changing cars at Statesville N. C, to A. T. and 0. Division of Southern for Davidson, 22 miles due south. Passengers from Chattanooga, Tenn., and farther west, may find it to their advantage to come by Atlanta and Charlotte. A splendid hard surfaced boulevard, named by courtesy of the State Highway Commission, "The Davidson College Highway," to Charlotte and Statesville, with regular schedules by auto line, makes it possible to reach these places in less than an hour several times daily. DAVIDSON COLLEGE HISTORICAL SKETCH The Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, who settled Piedmont Caro- lina, a quarter of a century before the Revolution, brought with them their love of liberty, of religion, and of learning.
