This year we were confronted with a war —one in which we must do our part, and forego many luxuries and other things to which we are accustomed. This did not daunt the spirit of DAVIDSON; rather it was an impetus to the work and strength of this great institution, and gave it a chance to show what DAVIDSON has done for its men, and what DAVIDSON men can do and are doing. For this reason and because we believe that this year is one that will live long in the memory of all, we have attempted to present a picture of life and happenings ^//^ 'M(^i^ CONTENTS here at DAVIDSON this year—and hope that you INTRODUCTION will never forget it.

    |||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 32101 068568573 DRI N C ETO N UNIVERSITY LIBRARY - º, - - - - -- 5 DAVIDSON COLLEGE Intimate FActs COMPILED BY CORNELIA REBEKAH SHAw Librarian ILLUSTRATED Fleming H. Revel 1 Press NEW YORK Copyright, 1923, by WILLIAM J. MARTIN THIs volume is AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED To THE SoNs of DAVIDson : FOREWORD THE story of the origin and growth of Davidson College, told for the first time in this volume, is typically American. The consecrated idealism of its founders, the bold experimenta tion of its manual-labor infancy, its long and losing battle with poverty and indifference, its rescue by an overruling Providence through the splendid munificence of Maxwell Chambers, the ac cumulating momentum of recent years, its present stability and far-reaching usefulness, its promise for the future—these con stitute a thrilling panorama of divine Providence and human heroism. Its unselfish builders rest from their multiplied la bors, but in endless and ever-increasing beneficence their works do follow them. Our world has learned some startling lessons since the new cen tury began its course. It knows now, as never before, that mere earthly learning, human art and science and inventive genius, the harnessing of nature's giant forces, the production of illimit able wealth and undreamed of luxuries, if these are untouched by religious love and self sacrifice, cannot develop or even pre serve our hard-won civilization; that no gifts are more fatal to human welfare than wealth and leisure without moral culture, liberty without self-control, and unlimited power without jus tice or mercy; that in this age of revolution and reconstruction Christian leadership is the one and only hope of imperiled and bewildered Christendom.

    v/ EDUCATION OF VETERANS Davidson College is cooperating in full with the Veterans Administration in its educational program for men whose education was interrupted by the war and for veterans who plan to enter college for the first time. Davidson is a liberal arts college offering those courses leading to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Description in detail of the offerings of the College is listed under the appropriate head- ings in the catalog. Members of the armed forces who wish to enter Davidson should contact the Registrar of the College who is in position to give veterans full information concerning the program of the College for ex-servicemen. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The financial assistance available to veterans for educational purposes is a subsistence allowance by the Federal Government of $65 a month if without dependents or $90 a month with one or more dependents. For the customary charges for tuition and necessary college fees an amount not to exceed $500 will be paid for an ordinary college year. This amount is more than sufficient to meet the college fees and approved charges at Davidson. The Veterans Administration pays all tuition and college fees, medical fees, laboratory fees, books, and supplies. From the allowance of $65 or $90 a month a veteran must take care of his living expenses including board, room and laundry. Veterans who wish to attend Davidson under the provisions and benefits of the "G. I. Bill" should communicate with the nearest Veterans Administration office. ENTRANCE The requirements for entrance to Davidson are listed in this catalog.

Floiving out of this coincidence came the placing of an exceptional amount of power and au- NRA thority into his hands. President Roose- velt was regarded in the campaign pre- ceding the election as one outstanding in his love for all his fellow men and in his determination that no one. how- ever humble, should be overlooked in establishing the new order. It is a great tribute to the life, char- acter and personality of our President that he has continued to abide in the confidence of the people, which he does by his deep sympathy and interest in humanity. His addresses to the Ameri- can public have been made with sim- plicity, full-blooded yet temperate and FOREWORD poised—rooted in common sense but reaching upward to the nobilities of »=nl'=nl statesmanship. =nl-=nlcri| We have tried to show m the pages of this book something of the life and NRA character of this our greatest President. He IS pictured at momentous occasions in his life. Because of this study, it is hoped that you will see him as he is. a richly human personality. He seems to know everything. He is alert, alive and in love with life and people.
