BENEDICT COLLEGE - *
CLUB ORGANIZED
_______ o
Last Sunday afternoon, ""Tilly 4th7'a
in Science Hall, Benedict-College, a
loyal group of graduates assembled ?
in pursuance to a call made through ~
the papers for the purpose of forming
a Benedict Club here in the city. a
After a short devotional exercise, t
- Mrs. F. K. Butler, who was elected v
at a previous meetinig as president, 1
pro tern, stated the purpose of or- e
ganizing this Club, namely to ere- I
ate among the local graduates a de.ep- c
5-. p.r love for their Alma Mater, and ,"
thereby bring about a desire to do I *
something tangible for the school J ?
that is near and dear to the heart of j" ^
every loyal Benedictite. . o 1
The election of officers was then *
gone into and the following-were -u- ^
nanimously elected: Dr. P. It. Jen- s
kins, president; Mrs.?+Matme Dun
more, vice-president; Mrs. Alberta Al- |
tee Marshall, secretary; Miss Janie i
I Adams; asst. secretary and Dr. J. G. i
Stuart, treasurer. The president appointed
a Membership Committee j
consisting- of Mrs. F. K. Butler, chair-' ^
man; Mrs. Joyce Jones Jenkins and
Mrs. T. L. Dy&Jnett. .
In order toj-n^t make the members
tired by frequent meetings, it was decided
that the Club meet once a ^
first Sunday at eight o'clock in Sci
ence Hall. It is hoped by the graduates
returning thus that their interest j
will be quickly rekindled and seeing y
the working of the college and be
coming familiar with its needs the de- ^
gire will cause thereu-to-worW as they" never
dreamed of to put the school v
to the front as an "A" grade institu- ,
?ttott ?? . . .. * -4
A call is hereby made for jcTnersTl
Don't waif" for some one to call on j

starJt the first Tuesday night in Au- >
gust, which will be the 10th on yofe* K
calendar, as a night set apart for a' r
special engagement and come out fp!
the college and enroll. We intend,
with every graduate's wholehearted v
cooperation, to make this Club of such I
powfer in doing good for the college i ^
that it is going to be felt throughout' v
South Carolina .and other places where |
there are three or more graduates_who ^
bear the B. C. trade mark that they 1
