The first activity in connection with the
Founders Day celebration was the Glee
Club concert given Monday night, April
10th.
The masterly rendition of selections by
this well-trained chorus of J7 voices was
the source of real harmony and enjoyment.
Selections by tbe quartet, Annve Mells,
Mabel Hillman, Mary Louise Smith and
Mercedes Powell were excellent composi
tions that were no less finely interpreted.
Professor Ilarreld and Mrs. Maise were
directors of the concert and Miss Ruth
Wheeler was accompanist.

Spiritual “Great Day’’
Soliloquy of the Fountain
(Continued from Page 1)
is surely an asset. Well, it is getting late.
After a day of worry, I had better get some
sleep. It is not good to worry one’s self
gray at the age of seven. When one has
many years to live it is best to be economical
in the worrying business."
Several days after this soliloquy the foun
tain was awakened from her sleep by one
of the trees nearby saying, “Say, that surely
L a pretty dress you have on." “Gee, but
vou are looking fine!” sounded another
voice. "You'll be looking fine for Founder's
Day," called the little water bets-li. The
fountain stood like a blushing bride in her
new fresh coat, while her woodsy compan
ions showered her with compliments. After
their greetings had died away, the fountain
said to one of the trees, "1 wonder if my
Fairy Godmother has been here."
“Why, no. I saw a man washing you and
giving you a fresh coat of paint while you
were asleep. Do you believe in Fairy God
mothers?”
“No, I don’t,” said the fountain, after
thinking awhile. "I don’t suppose I could
sit in the very center of the campus of an
institution of learning and believe in such
mystical characters. But blessings come to
us so unsuspectedly when we are not even
aware of their visitation. It makes one feel
as though it were the work of some of the
characters who are always doing good in
the fairy world. Fairies may lie the name-
given to the spirit in people that makes
them gracious and kind to people in need.
I am so happy. The pigeons and my other
friends will be so glad to see me all cleaned
up! I do not know who to thank. I shall
thank everybody by continuing to do my
best service.
“It is a little hard to keep from looking
down on passersby without feeling a con
descending air—being all dressed up as I
am. There seem to be three bad attitudes
which spring up in men on account of their
sudden enrichment. The first is that of the
benevolent despot who gives to society and
then dominates its personality. There is also
the attitude of the modern capitalist—‘I
got mine. If you have not got yours, it is
your fault; and I am going to keep on get
ting mine at the expense of everybody con
cerned.’ The other attitude is that there
have always been needy people, there always
will be; so there is no need to worry. The
world is pretty well fed up on these three
types of attitude,” said the fountain. “1
shall certainly have to watch myself."
Professor of Wellesley College
A Visitor
Miss Elizabeth Manwaring, Professor of
English at Wellesley College, spent a few
days on the campus as the guest of Miss
Norwood.
In a chapel talk on Friday, April 7, Miss
Manwaring gave us her appreciation of
Robert Frost, the poet. In exchange for the
campus singing which she considered one of
the finest treats the South offered her, she
brought Frost to us as one of the best
things that New England offers. Favorite
poems of Frost including “Something There
Is That Doesn’t Love a Wall," “The Pas
ture” and "The Onset” were read by Miss
Manwaring.
While here, Miss Manwaring honored mem
bers of the Fortnightly Club by giving a
special lecture on how to write poetrv.

Spelman Community Council
This year at Spelman we have a co-op
erative group which was organized to pro
mote the welfare of the college community by
emphasizing common ideals and purposes
and interests, and to provide by providing
opportunity for student and faculty expres
sion in the discussion, with absolute frank
ness and precision, of tangible problems which
confront the whole group. The Community
Council was formed at the beginning of the
school year and is composed of sixteen mem
bers representing both students and faculty.
Eight persons became members by virtue of
the offices they are holding in representa
tive campus organizations; eight other mem
bers were chosen at large. Exofficio mem
bers are, Frankie Butler, President of the
Senior Class; Birdie Scott, Vice-President of
the Senior Class; Curtis Miller, President of
the Y. W. C. A.; Mamie Bynes, Editor-in-
Chief of The Campus Mirror; Lottie Lyons,
President of the Junior Class; Marguerite
Simon, President of Sophomore Class; An
nie Motley, President of Freshman Class.
At present the general trend in colleges
and universities is toward community gov
ernment. rather than faculty or student gov
ernment. This opens the way for a fine
spirit of co-operation through discussing
matters in an advisory rather than in a dis
ciplinary manner.
In our group we have achieved some re
sults which show that our efforts have been
fruitful. First of all in our religious pro
gram, a new plan has been worked out for
the Y. W. C. A. meetings. The new arrange
ment provides for semi-monthly meetings of
this organization, instead of the weekly
meetings which were originally held and
which all students attended. On alternate
Sundays services are held in the dormitories
of the respective classes. Fp to the present
time, this arrangement has worked well.
Through the Council, hall organizations
have been effected. These groups function
in the handling of problems peculiar to
themselves alone. The matters of library
and dining room ethics and etiquette, es
pecially, have been referred directly to them
and handled well. There has also been defi
nite organization among the day students
which aids in keeping them in league with
the program of the campus.
The question of continued membership in
the National Student Federation of Amer
ica has been discussed, and the decision was
reached that, owing to the lark of direct
contact with the Federation, renewal of mem
bership at present was not advisable.
The Council stands as a vigilant and open-
minded group, ready to suggest and take
suggestions and consider plans leading to
the good of all.
