Many specimens have been bought from biological laborato ries, and in addition to these many rare specimens have been discovered in Tapley Science Hall, Room 310, where they had been put away without order, catalog, or label. Inquiry of older teachers on the campus reveals the fact that a part of Quarles Library, then in Packard Hall, was for many years given to display cases where these valuable specimens were kept. When Tapley Hall was completed, there being great need of space in the library for book stacks and reading room, this museum ma terial was stored in Tapley until the Sci ence Department should grow to need it. During the short history of this depart ment the need for specimens has been so great that last year, besides the new speci mens which were purchased, the Biology teachers prepared some specimens which are now in the museum exhibit. This year many new specimens have been added to the department and are arranged in the museum display. The natural history museum mounts are mostly displayed in cases in the /eulogy laboratories in Rooms 201. 207, and 209. The various eases in Room 201 show in- (Continued on Page 3) And He’ll "Fix” It Augusta J. Johnson, '32 8:30 P.M. More lessons to study. Tests tomorrow. No lights. Fuse burned out Go tell Mr. Long.

Interracial Forum “Ghandi and His Technique of Non- Violence” was the subject of a talk given by Mr. Howard Thurman at the Interracial Forum on Spelman Campus, November 9. in which he left the members thinking of this statement: "When I refuse to fight back by tin* use of the same weapons as my persecutors, I rob them of their power.” A Sweep of Time Frances Collier, ’31 Did you enter Spelman three years ago as a college freshman ? Did vou feel "brand new”, queer, and half afraid to venture through or beyond the gates which seemed so very, very wide ? Perhaps you did, but unneces sarily so, if you had known that just a few days ahead of you, with the same degree of newness, had ventured another of your classmates, Miss Florence M. Read, who entered, for the first time as President of Spelman College. Since that time, we, who have known her can most heartily agree with those who knew her before, who say, “We think first of her vitality and her reputation for doing whatever she sets out to do. This vitality is com bined with sound judgment and a ca pacity for grasping all the aspects of a situation, a combination which au gurs Avell for the future of Spelman College.” It is the fulfillment of this latter prediction, “augurs well for the fu ture of Spelman College,” which we wish, to share with you, for these have been fruitful years in what they have meant to Spelman College and its community and in what it Avill mean to our future. T his bit of information may seem some what irrelevant, but perhaps it is my preju dice in favor of real music Avhich makes this event most outstanding - among m\ - first im pressions of the Avonderful things college could provide for us. This event was the appearance of the Russian Cossack Chorus in Sisters Chapel early in December three years ago. The quality of the voices, their precision in singing, and the thoroughness in training as shoAvn both in voices and in individual control were exceedinglv striking. Melodies Avere requested from us and I think that never before had Ave sung wilh so much spirit, A'itality, and sincere appreciation, for each group seemed to be aware that it was a unique event at Avhich two groups were singing Avith all pride their folksongs. We have also noted with pleasure the lapid progress of our Glee Club and Cho rus and can think of our own Girls’ Orches tra, though quite new, as giving promise of a commendable future. In 1928 avc noticed the organization of the Morehouse-Spelman Summer School (with Atlanta University affiliated). Since that time tlie Atlanta School of Social Work has also become affiliated, having resources and facilities of each institution at each other’s disposal. September 25, 1929, marked another sig- (Continued on Rage 3)
