•
Professors L. E. Roberts, Gordon
Watson and T. A. Hart represented
West Georgia College in Macon
February 15-16, to serve on com
mittees to select questions to be
included on the final state tests.
The committees were composed
of faculty members of four insti

150 questions for each course from
the 400 questions submitted by
faculty members throughout the
state.
Dr. FA S. Beers, University exami

to what type questions should be
selected and the general structure.
and are expected to be officers in
the U. S. Army, Navy, or Marines
and instruct other men in operat
ing the machinery in these or
ganizations, but college men don’t
know the first thing about operat
ing big guns and field equipment.”
At the beginning of his address
Dr. Sanford told the students
“Many things have happened in
the four and a half years I’ve been
chancellor. Many changes have oc
curred that I had not foreseen. To
day we are living in a strange era;
we never know what is going to
happen next.” The speaker read a
letter written by a young soldier
of the R. A. F. just before his
death, to his mother. The letter
was found unsealed in the lad’s
pocket.
Commenting on the letter of the
patriotic young man, the chancel
lor challenged the audience “What
can I do for my country? Why did
Austria, Norway, Czechoslovakia,
France and other countries sur
render to Germany?” he continued.
“The answer is ‘What can my
country do for me.’
Continuing Dr. Sanford reminded
the group “What a beautiful thing
it is today to live in America.
America is the only country in
which school bells still ring.
Voicing his opinion of the world
crisis, the Chancellor concluded,
“Will England be saved? Yes, she
will, because she is fighting for the
reign of law. From 1066 until now
the nations of the world have tried
to invade England but have never
succeeded.

A grant of SI,OOO to West Georgia College was an

Inspection Group
Visits Number of
Georgia Colleges
Dean W. Fred Gunn, Miss Sarah
Ward, dean of women, and three
West Georgia students, Glynn Na
tions, Freeman Bentley, and Roy
McGraw made a tour of inspection
to several Georgia Colleges, Febru
ary 6-7.
The purpose of the trip was to
compare West Georgia with other
colleges to see what regulations
are in force on other campuses in
Georgia.
The first college visited was
Agnes Scott in Atlanta. There the
college conditions and regulation
differ from those at West Georgia
since the student government is
in charge and the honor system is
in operation. It is also a four year
college and therefore has somewhat
different problems than does West
Georgia.
Next, the group went to the Uni
versity of Georgia to inspect the
co-ordinate campus where all Fesh
men and Sophomore girls live and
have classes. Here conditions are
more related to those at West Geor
gia. Regulations are much the
same although the girls are allow
ed a few more privileges than they
are allowed on this campus. Dor
