OP W. G. C.
VOLUMN VII—ZII2
COLLEGE HEAD
ADVISES STUDENTS
TO GUARD LIBERTY
“Are we citizens or serfs in the
world to tomorrow?”
This question was answered in a
most forceful manner by Mr. H. T.
Quillian, president of LaGrange
College, when he appeared before
the student assembly of West Geor
gia College Tuesday, October 24.
Mr. Quillian said that ;n choos
ing our position for the future we
should appreciate the liberty we
now enjoy and exercise an eternal
vigilance to preserve this precious
heritage. Each person should be
conscious of his individual respon
sibility to assume a full share of
social obligation in his day and
generation.
“If we commit the Golden Ruie
to lie instead to memory only, bring
about a spirit of good will, mutual
understanding, and sympathetic in
terest, it will make it possible for
the world of tomorrow to survive.”
he stated.
Mr. Quillian is a distinguished
churchman and prominent educator
of Georgia. When he graduated
from Emory University, he became
affiliated with the Y. M. C. A. serv.
ing with this organization at La-
Grange and Georgia Tech. Later
he was field representative for
Shorter College and from there was
elected to the presidency of La-
Grange College, the position which
he now fills.

FLASH! FLASH!
There has been erected on our
back campus a light for the
benefit of the faculty. It was
rather difficult for wayward

remedy that situation for lost

Summer Marriages Blamed on
Campus Lollywogging! No Regrets
Very Few Failures In *3B
- Campus Course.
By Appleby and Gibson
It is, indeed, encouraging to find
that many of our former associates
and class-mates have attained the
ultimate aim of former generations,
this generation, and generations to
come—that is, that grand old in
stitution commonly called—Mar
riage.
Naturally, with such excellent
courses (Campusology) as were of
fered during the past years, such
results were to be expected, but
this summer the results were over
whelmingly satisfactory (or is that
the right word?) West Georgia’s
Campusology course includes Lolly
wogging, Handholding, Beamology
(the Science of Effective Beaming)
English 2345 3-4 (Language of
of Sweet Nothings, Expressing Ex
pressive Expressions Expressively,
etc.) and many of ie*s significance.
At this time homage should be
paid to the founder of this notable
course of courses, for we always
give credit to whom credit is due
in this case it goes to Dean Aaron
Buckalew and his able and uner
ring successor, Arnold Stark, who
is faithfully carrying on during the
absence of Dean Buckalew, and who
will doubtless pass the FLAMING
torch on to some worthy freshman

out.
Leonard Hunt and his 7-piece

were outstanding in the course

West Georgia’s front campus.
News has just reached the ever
receptive ears of the friends of
Serena Hansard and “Droopy” Ver

true? Is this authenic? Although
these two “town students” weren’t

that they were inspired by the oc
