Mission Work in the Mountains of North Carolina
A 1904 account from Theodora Curtis describes mission work at a Christ school in Arden North Carolina. It details the school’s cabinet making trade clothing sales and local health efforts led by a Southern woman principal and a district nurse. The piece portrays mountain life as frugal with families often living in one room with lean-tos while children balance work and study and tobacco use appears among adults.

Barnard College Projects Highlight Philanthropy Efforts
The Philanthropic Committee organized raiser lines to fund various charities. Students served socially beyond campus and kept the Barnard Association connected with other colleges. Chapel and Extension groups aided chapel tone and outreach to detained students and February Freshmen. The Silver Bay Committee funded activities including a children’s program. The Church Club hosted notable speakers as Barnard and the T. C. Associations grew closer. A joint October 14 and February 10 event supported a scholarship for the American Girls' College at Constantinople.
