The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Scott will be pleased to learn that their daughter, Miss Frances, has recently passed her examination and will enter Wellesly College in September with no conditions whatever. This examination was given at John Marshall High School in Richmond, Va., and was held for the benefit of prospective students at Harvard, Wellesly and other high grade colleges. Miss Frances did not complete the course at the Weldon High School but was always an honor pupil and would have graduated with distinction in the class of 1924 had she not entered St. Mary’s College in Raleigh in September last where she passed a most satisfactory year in preparation for entrance to a higher institution for the coming term.
From the front page of The Roanoke News, “A Newspaper for the People,” Weldon, N.C., Thursday, July 31, 1924. Although the newspaper consistently spelled the college “Wellesly,” it is actually “Wellesley.” Wellesley College is a private women’s liberal arts college in Massachusetts.
