FIRST SUBSCRIPTION FOR
1928-1929
The business managers of the Campus Mir
ror are happy to report a two-year, paid-up
subscription to our paper from Mrs. Alice
B. Coleman, one of Spelman’s Board of Trus
tees.
GREETINGS FROM THE
NEW STAFF
The new staff of the Campus Mirror wish
to express thanks for the confidence the
students have placed in them.
They are saying, with apologies to Wal
ton, the hymn writer—We would be true for
there are those who trust us. Their message
is: “Already we sense the responsibilities
which will soon be ours, and we promise to
give you the best that is in us. We ask for
your whole-hearted cooperation that we may
be able to keep to the high standard which
has been set and to make the Campus Mirror
all that you want it to be.”
AN HONOR CONFERRED ON MISS
READ
Miss Read has accepted an invitation to
serve on the Foreign Survey Committee, ap
pointed by the Foreign Division of the Na
tional Boards of the Y. W. C. A. and the
Y. M. C. A. to take the place of Miss Jane
Addams, who has resigned. The Commit
tee, consisting of nine men and three wom
en. is to direct a survey of the work and
the fields of opportunity of the two organi
zations, a project which is made possible
by a grant from the Laura Spelman Rocke
feller Memorial.

AN APPRECIATION
To have faith in girls is a great privilege,
but to have them justify that faith is an
inspiration. There is something about the
Spelman girls that rouses the best that is
in one and makes her stretch to reach the
height she covets that she may have some
thing adequate to give. Their very earnest
ness and eagerness to learn stimulates one
to give all she can find to offer, and the
graciousness of their appreciation makes one
humble. The new responsibilities which the
girls have assumed this year show bright
and exciting possibilities ahead; their co
operation and efforts to be worthy of the
trust placed in them have been genuinely
encouraging.
To me, a stranger, the response and sup
port of the student body, their acceptance
of suggestions, their willingness to adjust
themselves to new ways and plans have been
heartening. It has been one of the most
satisfying years I have ever had and I can
not be thankful enough for the chance that
brought me here. Although my Harvard
work calls me home, I think of this friendship
between us not as ending but as just be
ginning and I look forward with joy to many
happy meetings and renewals of these friend
ships, both here and in the North.
Faithfully yours,
MIRIAM F. CARPENTER.
In this, our last issue of “The Mirror,”
we wish to thank you for your hearty co
operation and at the same time, to solicit
your continued support for next year’s staff.
We have enjoyed serving you and hope
that our work has pleased you.
Already plans are on foot for a better
“Mirror” next year.
