C. Wilke*, and the Gainesville College, by Professor A. W. Van lloose. In 188d Dr. Willies tiled and Profeaaor Van Iloose bought the b.illdlng of the Baptist seminary and com bined the two schools, changing their names to the Georgia Female Seminary. Profeaaor Van lloose was convinced that Gaiiiesvllle was the best location In the South for a great school. He budded for the best ho know — a school that would be In Its surroundings like an elegant home with the solicitude of a father for the good of his daughters and the atm as a teacher to be perfectly thorough. la 1893 Profeaaor II. J. Pearce, of Columbus. Ga., was In duced to abandon Ills plan of opening a school for girls In that city and to Join Profeaaor Van lloose In the interest of th» Gainesville College. How well they have succeeded In their effort* I* Indicated by tho fact that the number of board ing pupils has increased from 30 to over 300 In ten years. The name of the school was changed In 1900 to llrenau College-Con servatory. It belongs exclusively in Professors Van Hooseand Pearce, and Is unhamiiercd by scrim Ionium. It la a Christian Institution and Its pupils nro instructed In overy way that tends to the protier development of their characters.

Campus Rings With Laughter and Shout. Tit* Ida* at Branau la lint to make a (nod woman. Other thing* are secondary; amt the maklnc of a Rood woman who will lead a happy and uaeful lift* Implies good health. No Itfp at Brenau la not dreary drilling of hooka Into tired younc lieada. Tha motto Is work while you work and play while you play, and the ex* uberance of youth Is not repressed In thoee hour* set aside for relaxation and recreation. No on the tennla court or on the grounds for basket ball or In the classic shade* of the campus. It a Brenau atrl wishes to make the welkin rlnc with her happy voice <>r merry peals of laughter there It no solemn persona re to look chocked, for the manarement knows that ths rtrl’s tunas are beiar expanded with ever)’ shout; that she Is drink- Inc In great draughts of the pure health-giving atmosphere; that tha warm blood Is pulsing to her finger tips and building her Into a woman to whom existence will not be a burden. Under the same Idea. Recreation hall Is all that Ite name Implies. This hall is In the home building or dor mitory. It Is really a "rotunda," It is the heart and renter of the dorm itory and adjoins th* large parlor, the dining room, the president's office, reception room. *etc. There Is an athletic aasoclatlon at Brenau. but no feminine Imlta- tlona of masculine sports are allowed. The girls play tennis and basket ball and never overstep the bounds of propriety In their games. Famed Over the South for Bril liant Performers Graduated.
