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.

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 One of the afore-mentioned mar WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1939 Prominent Speakers And Noted Georgians Slated as West Georgia Joins State-wide Forum Movement Faculty To Give Formal Dance Friday Night Following the annual custom, the 1 faculty will entertain the student body at a dance Saturday, October 28 in the new Gym.
