The Campus Mirror 3 Norman Thomas Speaks in Atlanta Norman Thomas, socialist head, brought to a close the series of eight weekly lectures sponsored by the Citizenship Lecture Com mittee when he addressed citizens of Atlanta on Monday night, March 6th, at eight o’clock at the Wesley Memorial church auditorium. Mr. Thomas spoke on “An Economic Pro gram for America”, outlining a plan of re construction both for immediate relief and for the permanent advantage of the country. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were eager to see the new developments in Atlanta University and although in the city only a few hours, they visited the new Administration Build ing and the campuses of the affiliate in stitutions. Boy Scouts' Head I alks to Chapel Group Mr. Bulloch, who is head of several thou sands boy scouts in the South, addressed the chapel group on Monday, March 13th, the gist of his talk being A Formula for Intelli gent Living. The following steps, said Mr. Bulloch, should be included in such a formula : first, clearly defined objectives and purposes; second, planning; third, exercise of plans; fourth, objective evaluation. Mr. Hubert Herring The executive director of the Committee on Cultural Relations with Latin America, Mr. Hubert Herring, was the speaker at regular chapel services, Monday, February 27th. He gave in a brief, interesting Avay the conditions existing in the islands of the West India group, owned, or in part con trolled, by the United States. He vividly traced the journey from The Keys, off the coast of Florida, past the greater West India islands to the Virgin Islands. Con cerning this group of tiny islands he said they are very poor now under the rule of the United States, with national prohibition, compared to their condition under Denmark, to which country they were able to sell much rum. Another decrease of income was due to the decrease in the amount of coal needed by steamers. This the Virgin Is landers formerly supplied in much larger quantities than today, when they were used as a fuel station for large steamers. Porto Rico, which was taken from Spain by the United States in 1898, was governed efficiently by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., until he went to the Philippines. The Porto Ricans today pay him tlie highest tribute, and through him they made great progress in education, yet Porto Ricans today have few privileges. Haiti, divided into Haiti proper and San to Domingo, contains many beautiful moun tains. The government in both parts is dominated by tin* United States—a domina tion which is unpopular, especially since Marine rule is not good.

Mary Alice Dunn was graduated from Spelman College in 1930, where she had re ceived two years’ high school training and her four years’ college training. In the fall following her graduation she began teach ing in the Jones High School in Orlando, Florida. She was married to Reverend Rob ert L. Jones, pastor of the Mount Zion Baptist Church of that city, in the summer of 1931, and fulfilled successfully her du ties both as teacher and as minister’s wife until the time of her illness, a few weeks before her death. While at Spelman Mrs. Jones proved to be that type of student of which the least that could be said was that the community was helped by her having lived in it, and it suffered for the lack of more individuals possessing her ambition. She was adjustable to all phases of college life alike; she was anxious; she was sincere; she was pleasing; her work was effective. She always planned to see that her plans were finished, notwith standing the effort it required. One of the most responsible jobs which she held in college was that of Editor-in- Chief of The Campus Mirror, in her senior year. Her work in this capacity reflected credit both for herself and her college. The paper was forced upon a standard which de manded that subsequent work be of a high type lest it should fall from the standard she had set. Miss Elsie Edmondson, who was a class mate and dose associate in school activities of Mary Alice Dunn Jones, was asked to contribute the following article about Mary as she knew her. DR. A. L.

Jackson 4670 + Mary Dunn, As I Knew Her Elsie Edmondson, '30 Sincerity, integrity, fineness of character were outstanding qualities of Mary Alice Dunn. She lived with us for four happy, busy, growing years, and throughout this time, she made glad the hearts of the mem bers of the class of ’30, her other college mates, and teachers. Whenever there was a piece of work to be done, she did it well. She was Editor-in-Chief of The Campus Mirror, 1929-30, during which time the paper reached its greatest expansion in size and in advertising. The Blue-Book, contain ing full instructions from every member of the staff to his successor, prepared under the editorship of Mrs. Julia Pate Borders, was used for the first time under her editor ship. She was a good student, and was per mitted to take additional courses. She was a responsible girl who earned a part of her own expenses. She was chairman of the Story-telling Club the year that it did its most constructive work. Hers was a striking personality, with full height and dignity of figure. There was an indefinable quality in her bearing that com manded attention, and her fine, broad fore head, particularly, suggested high courage and nobility of thought. To know her was to know one who had the knowledge lent by the Master, combined with the will to do. Intimate association with her proved to me that she was no weakling, that there was nothing mean or small about her. I have shared with her sad hours as well as pleas ant ones, and through them all, there was something staunch and fine about her which was admirable. Her judgment was sound, based on clear reasoning from a full array of facts. It is hard to realize that Mary has gone from us. I shall always count it a joy to have known one of whom it may be said, she was gentle, brave, and strong, and her life was a blessing to many. Another appreciation follows.—Editor. Thoughts of Mary High courage, fine appreciation, that was Mary; What was mean or small, in deed or word, was not Mary. Her play of imagination ran into noble ambition; Hardships, things that seemed impossi ble, daunted not Mary. No boasting, no flaunted array of claims, no empty pretense; Every plan or urge or effort directed by woman-sense: Days that are gone and to come must show some fruition; Sweeter the tasks she tried, the places she lived, Even her name of Mary.
