Miss Eunice McDowell has received a very interesting letter from Mrs. Harry Tyler, a former graduate of Chowan.
Mrs. Tyler is the daughter of Rev. R.H. Land, who taught Latin, Language, and Literature here in 1883-84. She came here in September of ’74 and graduated in the class of ’76. Her many friends remember her as being very talented in music. She married Mr. Harry Tyler, a well known and prominent Baptist of Baltimore, Maryland, at which place she is now living.
Mrs. Tyler is very interested in the library campaign here. Her letter reads:
“I have so often thought of the happy days at Chowan, and especially of the good work being done there. I am so glad to send you a check, with which to buy books, and I am greatly interested in seeing my Alma Mater develop into a class A college. I believe with all my heart in Christian education, and I trust our southern high-grade schools and colleges will not employ teachers who do not believe in the Book of books. Take our Bibles from us and what have left to make life worth living?” We appreciate this letter so much, and also the check. Letters like this one give us much encouragement, and inspire us to work harder than ever for our goal.
