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.

Ida Miller, Cora Douthard 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. Spelman to Be Represented at Annual Regional Y.W.C.A.
