Howard Thurman spoke each day at chapel and conducted discussion groups, March 13-16. An account of his talks for the first two mornings appeared in the last issue of The Mirror. The fol lowing is an account of the last two talks : “My prayer to God is,’’ he began, “that your love may grow more and more in knowl edge and understanding, enabling you to have a sense of what is vital, that you may be transparent and of no harm to anyone in view of the day of Christ.” “Anyone” in cludes oneself; therefore, one must be of no harm to oneself nor to any other person. Life must not be dimmed, foggy or cloudy. We cannot measure the significance of a simple word which falls from the lips, nor of a nod of the head, nor of a few words we write. Once a minister said to a little boy who came to his house to deliver groceries, “John, why don’t you go to school?” These simple words rang in John’s ears and he did go to school. Today John Hope is President of Morehouse College. We are bound together for better or for worse, therefore we should strive to live lives that are transparent and of no harm to any one. Again, Mr. Thurman would have our lives covered with the harvest of righteousness which Jesus Christ produced. Jesus produc ed righteousness, a superior quality of life, because of his intimate experience with God. If we want to understand Jesus, we must not read what he said about himself or what others said about him, but we must enter into his experience with God. Scholars, from a standpoint of scholarship, will never under stand him, but there must be that personal experience with Jesus and the Father. COLLEGE SPIRIT By Elnora James, '31 When we first enter college we are told that we must get the “college spirit,” this means that we are to get right into the col lege life. We must act, talk and think “Col lege.” In fact, we must move along in the right coordination with the different college movements. The spirit of the college is the life of it, and this life we must live in the fullest sense in order that we may have the true college spirit. COMMUNITY SERVICE By Ruby L. Brown I’m sure you’ve heard the laying: "Many hands make light work.” Well, many well ordered hands make orderly work. If you don’t believe it, ask the Spelman students and faculty. What a pleasure it was on Monday, March 26, for us to put into action the suggestion of our president and librarian, by transferring the books from the Quarles Library in Packard Hall to the new quarters in Laura Spelman. Even the weather seem ed to harmonize. It was a lovely day and just the one for such an enterprise. Everybody in line! Books were handed down off the shelves, lines were directed, and information was given by members of the sophomore class who took a library course last year. That is one time that “sophomores” led the president, the dean, and the rest of the people of authority. It was just wonder ful to note the spirit of democracy on the campus that day. Miss Read carried great stacks of books the entire evening with no intermissions. Having left the door which she was told to hold for a while, she said: “I was asked to hold that door, but I find that a rock can do it just as well. I’m going for some more books.” Her office did with out her for a while. When a visitor called and the fact was re ported to her, she said “Tell him he’ll have to come out here.” Surely the visitor consented and also helped to carry books. Business can be transacted in so many good ways. Dean Carpenter showed equal democracy. Ask the photographer. He knows. The books slipped and slid as they w r alked on two feet from Packard to Laura Spelman. Even the reserve books got tired of the old racks and rushed out with the crowd. That is one time they got out of the library and it wasn’t 9 P. M. either. How they slipped, some of them tumbling to the ground at times! After they got out—naughty little (Continued on Page 6, Col. 2) A VISIT FROM THE ROSEN- WALD PARTY Air. and Airs. Julius Rosenwald were wel come visitors on the campus Thursday, Alarch 29. Mr. Rosenwald is the founder of the Rosenwald Fund, by which four thousand schools have been built for Negroes. Both spoke at an assembly which was called es pecially for the purpose of having them see the Spelman family. Mr. Rosenwald spoke of the wonderful op portunities that have come to the Negro. “One should,” he said, “be ashamed to em phasize one’s difficulties and minimize one’s blessings.” "I like to speak of the impressions made by this place,” began Airs. Rosenwald when she arose to speak. She had been impressed by the beautiful trees on the campus. “When you know trees, flowers and birds, you aren't lonesome,” she said. With Air. and Airs. Rosenwald were Aliss Rhoda Kaufman, executive secretary of the Georgia State Department of Public Welfare, and Aliss Louisa Fitz Simons, director of Geor gia Study of Negro Child Welfare.
