The Influence of Education
on the Young Girl at Brenau
College, Gainesville, Ga.
T
Finding the Way
To a Man's Heart
TOO many cooks spoil the
broth, but one good cook is a
rare treasure nowadays. The
Brenau Girl realizes this, and as
she wishes to be a thoroughly
rounded woman, one capable of
directing her own home, or, if nec
essary, able to mix a cake omcook
a meal, she devotes a part of her
time to perfecting herself in those
household arts which were the
chief pride of the women of the
sixties.
Ender skilled instructors she
learns to reduce household drudg
ery to a science. She is taught
rood values, economy, the value
of artistic surroundings in the
home, and the means whereby
sh ■ may obtain the best results in
all phases of her home work.
s lm does not expect to take a
position as a cook, but she is
to believe that she should
know mor;' about the principles of
(■ooIot;. than thy cook whom she
"ill direct.

In The Brenau
Library
THE Brenau Girl is fortunate in
that she has every facility for
cultivating her taste for the
best in literature.’ Early in her
college career she finds her way to
the library; and. even though she
formerly has not cared particular
ly for books, the attractive read
ing room, with its seven thousand
and more volumes, soon becomes
her favorite resting place.
It is then but a short step to in
vestigating the contents of the)
many books; and, almost before
she knows it. she has acquired a
love of good reading.
, This brings her in touch with i
(the great men and women of alii
| ages. She becomes a member of I
I
the ‘: aristocracy of learning, and
her education is given that in
definable supplementary touch
which goes deeper than mere rote
learning.

Ready For Gym- j
i nasium Work ;
THAT a healthy body begets a
wholesome, normal mind is
one of the beliefs of the
Brenau Girl. Eor that reason she
fakes pleasure in the gymnasium
work which is prescribed as a part
of her college work
A well-equipped gymnasium is
provided, and a thoroughly com
petent director is in charge. A
j large athletic field also gives add
led oportunity for physical train
ling and for athletic sports.
.Owing to the systematic exer
cises in the gymnasium and out
doors. and because of the mild, in
vigorating climate of Gainesville,
the Brenau Girl becomes a model
of health after a few months in i
collegi 1 . She gains also lhe bouyan
cy of spirit that accompanies a
sound body, and her brain, cleared
of all Ihe cobwebs of sickness or
fatigue, quickly assimilates her
studies.

Alighting at Yonah Hall, the Main Entrance to the College.
WHENEVER a new Brenau Girl alights in front of Yonah Hall, she becomes the object of excited i uriosity
Heads appear simultaneously from all the front windows, and eager girls stroll back and forth, speculating
as to wito the new girl is. the possibilities of friendship, fun and frolic, and sundry other tilings.
It does not take long to make acquaintances, and in a few days the newcomer is a part of the merry college
community, and. incidentally, already a loyal daughter of Brenau.
T/f£ BRENAU GIRL
In face and form as fair and chaste
As vestal virgins were. Her mind as
Quick to see the truth, and true to guard
And nurture it, as eagles to their young
Her being whole enveloped with
Celestial fire, that burns away
Each base desire.

“Art In Life”
THE quotation, “a thing of
beauty and a joy forever,’’
applies not only to the Brenau
Girl, but to the creations of her
brush as well. The Brenau Girl,
however, is interested in art not
merely for the purpose of learn
ing how to paint pictures, but in
order that she may cultivate her
taste for the beautiful. She learns
to see the possibilities in even the
common things of life, and to
transform them into things of
beauty. Eor her the world has a
new meaning. Eield and sky and
wooded hill reflect new glories to
her beauty-seeking eye. and pro
vide unending studies for her
brush.
In the studio, she learns pre
cision of technique; out-doors she
touches the bigness of nature, the
mysteries of life ami growth, and
through the spiritual sensitiveness
thus developed, she learns the true
artistic ideal.

Investigating the
Mysteries of Science
*T* 11E right of woman in the
world of science is no longer
<iuestioned, and the Brenau Girl
will take her place among the fore
most, because she is taught to in
vestigate things for herself, not
merely to learn formulas out of a
i
book.
The various laboratories at
Brenau contain a great deal of ex
pensive equipment, but. in order
that the scientific spirit may he
developed, the Brenau Girl is en
couraged and taught to make
much of the simpler aparatus re
quired.
The laboratory method of study
is not only used in the nat
ural sciences, but in psychological
study as well, and original results
obtained in ibis department have
been published in scientific jour
nals of America, Germany and
Erance.
