S3OOO Given West
Georgia Library By
Carnegie Fund
SIOOO TO BE ANNUAL EXPENDI
TURE ON MAGAZINES
AND BOOKS
West Georgia College has receiv
ed an appropriation of, S3OOO from
the Carnegie Corporation of New
York City. The money is to be
given in SIOOO amounts yearly for
three years and is to be spent for
the purchase of bound periodicals
and books other than textbooks.
Besides West Georgia College,
there are only two other colleges in
Georgia to receive similar dona
tions. Augusta Junior College was
given SISOO and Young Harris Col
lege was given $450. The money
is to be given to the libraries of
these colleges over a period of
three years.
There were ninety-two junior
colleges all over the country chos
en by the Carnegie Corporation
for gift appropriations. The choic
es were made on the basis of the
needs of the school and the interest
shown by the students in the li
brary. West Georgia College was
the only school in the University
System of Georgia to be selected.
All of the money given was to
the libraries of junior colleges.
Only a few years ago the Carnegie l
people made similar donations to
senior colleges throughout the
country.
Miss Weaver, West Georgia’s li
brarian, thinks the college is very
fortunate to have this opportunity
to add to the shelves of its newj
library. She says it is a credit
to the students for West Georgia to
be selected.

REGULAR VESPER
SERVICES HELD
DURING SUMMER
MRS. M. C. WILEY SPEAKS TO
GROUP
A vesper service has been pre
pared and given by the students
each Sunday evening during the
summer session. Taking part in
these services have been those
students who expressed such a de
sire at the beginning of the sum
mer session.
Programs were given on “True
Friendship” and “Sharing with
Others.” In the first of these pro
grams, the participants tried to
bring out the qualifications for a
true friend, pointing out the friend
ship of Jesus and how he gave his
life for mankind. At this meeting
also, a brief greeting was given
to all summer school students. In
the second program, talks were
made on the instances in Jesus’
life when He shared with others.
This worship service was linked
with the preceeding one in that
without sharing those small charac
teristics much needed in life with
our fellow men, we cannot be true
friends.
One visiting speaker, Mrs. M.
C. Wiley, of Carrollton, was
brought to the campus to speak on
the vesper program. Mrs. Wiley
is the wife of the city school
superintendent, and is therefore
greatly interested in teachers and
their work. She gave a most in
spiring talk on “The High Calling
of the Christian.”
The program for the last vesper
service was on “The Quest for
God Through Sacrifice and Pray
er.”
These programs were under the
direction of Ethel Lee McLarin,
Naomi Jones, Frances Phillips, and
Pauline Pritchard with Miss Katie
Downs acting as faculty advisor.
