STEWART well planned Women's Day activ ities, the students and women of the community and state are get ting opportunties to meet some of the finest and most accom plished women of our time. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Mary Mc Leod Bethune, Dorothy Ferebee, and just recently Venice Tipton Spraggs have successively been brought as major speakers. One feels that there must be some young ladies among the students who will catch a gleam of the possibilities to which a person ality can, with nurturing, expand.

Their coming is a challenge and and inspiration to more mature women who get tired and often ask themselves whether extended social and civic participation is worth the energy, and some times. persecution one has to take.
