Bulletin Of Elon College PDF Download

Excerpt from Bulletin of Elon College, Vol. 1: November, 1905 In the rear of the main building is a two - story brick strue ture, not so imposing or prepossessing as the new west dormi tory, but nevertheless worthy of a visit and an inspection. It is the central heating, lighting and water plant. From it the main building and every room in both the old east and the new west dormitories are heated, lighted and supplied with water. The campus, too, the scene for you of many a sere nade, of many a bonfire, of many a confidential chat with fair maiden, has put on a. New garb since the halcyon days of yore. The trees have been properly trimmed, and when fair Luna does not care to shine, the ten brilliant arc lights do. There is a sewer system for all the college buildings, which completes the list of improvements on the physical side, thus bringing the character of the equipment of Elon College up to that of any institution in the whole country.114 bulletin OF elon college. The enrollment too has kept pace with the improvements in other ways, and has now reached the handsome total of 212. It is an inspiring scene to behold these more than two hundred great-souled, large-hearted, deeply cultured and culturing young ladies and young men on the campus, which in the by-gone days was the centre of gravity, the tryst ing place of the student life and spirit of barely half so many. It will inspire you to see the present student body, for it is one which will bear favorable comparison with that of any college. Not directly connected with the college, but still here and deserving a visit, is the Christian Orphanage, over on the hill - in former days a woods, and the scene of many a stump oration - a little to the right, as you go, of Rev. C. A. Boone's boarding house. There it stands, a noble structure, a monu ment to the love of our children for less fortunate children, and a convincing proof of the value of united effort and of the accumulation of little things. It is, therefore, worth your while to come here to see the improvements that have been brought to pass within the past years, more especially those of the past two years. You will see more than you have any idea you will and will be amply repaid for the expense to which you will be put. It is worth any man's or woman's money to come to this place now, simply on a pleasure trip and for purposes of recreation from the. Exacting cares, the grinding burdens of actual life.
