Nature’s Helpmate
West Georgia*s Beautiful
Campus Handiwork Of
Mrs . Ingram And ‘Johnny’
By FRANCES DONEHOO
“Johnny.” speaks one of nature’s
helpmates, “We’ll put that dog
wood here.”
With a shovel in hand, Johnny
places the small tree in the wait
ing earth.
This is no uncommon occurrence
for Mrs. Ingram and Johnny as
they utilize these sunny mornings
to beautiy the campus. Already
185 dogwoods have been planted
to insure West Georgia of future
spring snow and 25 crabapple trees
will be planted later.
Through the diligent work of
Mrs. Ingram, West Georgia has re
ceived her crowning glory of a
beautiful campus.
“When I came here in 1929 there
was only one flower on the cam
pus,” says Mrs. Ingram. “I have
worked with flowers ever since.”
Much progress has been made
since that lone flower grew. Now
the campus is marked with in
numerable shrubs and flowers. The

Washington, D. C., March 11 —
West Georgia College is one of 254
junior colleges in the country who
recently participated in a nation
wide poll on defense conducted by
the American Association of Junior
Colleges in Washington.
Results o fthe poll give interest
ing data on what students repre
senting a group of more than 235,-
000 young people of college fresh
man and sophomore age in 44
states, as well as their leaders,
think of problems facing the coun
try today. The data were released
by Dr. Walter C. Eells, executive
secretary, at th eannual meeting
of the Association in Chicago last
week.
Amon gthe facts revealed in the
poll are that both students and
administrators favor all possible
aid to Britain and disapprove a
negotiated peace now between the
European belligerents. At the same

flowering quince, the January jas
mine, and the jonquil have already
made their appearance to say that
the earth is awakening from her
dormant stage.
Other things are being done too.
The old, crooked hedge around ihe
edge of the campus is being
straightened, and the bare places
in the shrubs around the buildings
are being refilled with new shrub
bery.
Mrs. Ingram says that there Is
to be anew campus center soon.
This is to be located on the back
campus. Formal walks, shrubs,
flowers, and a fountain. The dirt
road in the back will be discarded.
After this is done, West Georgia’s
campus will be one of the most
beautiful in the state.
Where there are flowers and
shrubs, there is an appreciator of
beauty; Where there are flowers
and shrubs properly placed, there
is a creation of beauty. West Geor
gia owes Mrs. Ingram and Johnny a
debt.
time, however, by an overwhelm
ing majority, they oppose entrance
of the United States into the Eu
ropean was as an active fighting
agent.
Moreover, both groups feel that
labor union strikes in defense in
dustries should be outlawed and
that military service for college
students under th eSelective Ser
vice Act should be deferred until
after graduation from college. They
are behin dthe “lend-lease” propo
sal for aid to Britain and other
democracies.
Opinion expressed by the West
Georgia College students conform
ed, for the most part, to that ex
pressed by students in other sec
tions of the country.
The results also show, Dr. Eells
reports, that the students are think
ing independently. In many cases
their opinions are in direct var
iance with those of the administra
tors. Two-thirds of the adminis
trators favor turning over addi
tional units of the navy to Britain.
Two-thirds of the students are op
posed to this policy. Almost 60
per cent of the students feel the
country is in imminent danger of
attack if Britain is defeated; al
most the same proportion of ad
ministrators feel it is not. Half
the students, however, feel parti
cipation of the United States in
the war is inevitable; less than a
third of the administrators share
this opinion.
