BARRON & SOX | Campus Guests “Babbit "! Who doesn't remember that cheerful, greeting of Mr. E. (). Pilgrim who addressed the student body in chapel Thursday morning, October 1. Mr. Pilgrim is a native of British Guiana, a graduate from the University of London and a teacher of mathematics and history in Queen College, British Guiana. He and his daughter have been visiting points of inter est in America and he, alone, found oppor tunity to visit Spelman College. What a rare treat it was to hear Mr. Pilgrim talk in his charming manner about British Guiana and the customs of its inhabitants. The fore word, “rabbit”, is a magic word. If a person in British Guiana desires good luck and happiness, as soon as he gets up in the morning on the first day in the month, before he says anything else, he must say “ Rabbit”. One may wish a friend good luck in this manner, also. Hence, Mr. Pilgrim addressed us with the magic word before he said anything else, since the date was October 1. The educational system in British Guiana is of a high rank. The government provides schools for boys only, and stiff examina tions are given before a student is allowed to pass to a higher grade or school. Sciences, mathematics, geography, and his tory are stressed. Instead of the students passing at the end of a class period (forty minutes) to various other classes, the teachers pass. Very good English is spoken there even by the younger generation. Concerning the natural history of his country, the rivers there are much bigger than ours; in fact, some are often twenty miles wide. The highest falls in the world are located here—the Kaitur Falls, which are five times higher than the Niagara Falls. Mr. Pilgrim stated that a person who hasn't sufficient money stands a poor chance of attending an English University. These universities are less accommodating to humble people who wish to work their way up than are American colleges. A very true maxim which he used in clos ing says, ‘‘He who runs to catch the train, must not stop to tie up his shoes.” The simplest person could perhaps, discern the meaning, but the wisest ofttimes fail to heed it. Spelman College was happy to have such an interesting visitor, and hopes that he will come again. Miss Read in New York As a member of the International Survey Committee of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., President Read attended a meeting of the committee in New York, October 10th. Other members of the committee are Daniel J. Flemming, Chairman; William F. Russell, Vice-Chairman; Mrs. John H. Finley, Sec retary; also William M. Kingsley, Mrs. Harry Emerson Fosdick, Rufus M. Jones, William II. Kilpatrick, Adrian Lyon, and Miss C. C. Benson. I he Owls of 1932 The class of 1932— forty-two strong—has begun this year with all the aspiration and hopes seniors could possess. Having been associated with the Owl, we hope to prove by our actions that we are as wise as any owls and with our wisest judgments to support all uplifting and worthy ideals of Spelman College. I he Class of 33 Ercell Powell, ’33 With undaunted courage the class of ’33 has set forth on the third year of its college course. It is forty-eight strong, having three new members: Grace Hogue, Ophelia Grayer, and Elnora Hayes. The juniors not only hope to follow the paths of the classes that have gone before, in all things commendable, but they also hope to explore new areas of learn ing and establish noble standards for their followers. With such ambitions it is only to be expected that this class will by the end of the year 1931-32 be able to measure for themselves unsurpassed growth. The Eagles of ’34 Eagles! Immediately our minds think strength, endurance and attainments of heights. Indeed, in the sense of every one of these words, are the Sophomores, Eagles. We have come back to dear old Spelman, after a few months of rest, filled with energy and strength to undertake new tasks. We have begun. We are fully con fident that our endurance will carry us on, for we are truly eagles in pursuit of knowledge. The eagle is able to reach much greater heights than the ordinary bird. We, the Sophomores, intend to soar far above any former sophomores, thus showing that we are Eagles. The eagle is the king of birds, you say. Ah, now! The Sophomores of ”32 are the Eagles of Sophomore classes. Just watch us go! Guess who visited the Spelman campus last week—a gentleman or a lady? Guess. Do you give up? There, there—it was none other than Spelman’s Miss Minnie B. Timson, who taught at Spelman for many years. She hasn’t changed a bit and from all evidences appears to be the same Miss Timson whom the girls in Miss Tapley’s days knew in the grammar school. It is hoped that her stay here was a pleasant one, and that she will enjoy her work at Tougaloo College, where Miss Kurrelmeyer is Dean of Women. + '—„„—„„—„„—„„——„—„—„„—„—„—„—„„—„„—.4.
