Spelman Sunday School In October of 1932 Will Durant, Philoso pher and Lecturer, mentioned in his lecture, “Is Progress Real?” the fact that our post war literature and philosophy is full of de pression and pessimism and despair, at tributed in part to a decay in our religious beliefs. He also stated that our literature says that it is the “simple and inevitable fate” of everything to experience glory and decay. We do not think that there has been a marked “decay” in our religious thinking, but it would seem from the many changes in the Sunday School on our campus that our religious thinking may be about to come into new “glory”. The student who will assist Mrs. Curry as student superintendent has not been elected; but Miss Bernice Smith was elected treasurer for the organization and has be gun her service already. Miss Eddye Mae Money was selected pianist for the year. The freshmen are studying “The Bible as Literature” with Miss Folger and Mr. Jenkins. The sophomores, juniors and seni ors have open for their election several courses: “The Bible and Social Living” with Mrs. Willis. Advanced Bible Study with Mr. Strong, and Christianizing your Community with Mr. Bullock. Mrs. Reddick has taken over the Teacher Training course, formerly taught by Misses Laura and Louise Dickinson. Incidentally, the time for the completion of the course has been lengthened to three years instead of two. Miss Martin has the high school students. Last year the Sunday School choir was known only to those who attended that ser vice; but this year it is hoped that the choir may he used on other occasions and become better known.

Stanton, ’34 and Virginia Rose Hannon, ’34 The class in art appreciation, which was made possible for the students of Morehouse, Spelman, and Atlanta University through provisions of the Carnegie Corporation, ended Friday, November 10. Miss Mabel R. Brooks, a graduate of the Yale University School of Fine Arts, who has studied three years in Europe, was the instructor in the lecture series. The key lecture of the whole course was the one, “The Art of Living,” which was given publicly in Sisters Chapel. This lec ture presented the aim of the course which was designed to teach the art of living through the medium of fine arts. The second lecture of the series was “The American Negro and the Fine Arts”. Here Miss Brooks stressed the idea that the only true way in which the Negro can make a contribution to the fine arts is through per sonal development and cultivation, and a spontaneous expression of this development through the arts. The third lecture on the “French Cathe drals of the Thirteenth Century” gave par ticular attention to the four greatest Gothic cathedrals, Chartres, Amiens, Notre Dame of Paris and Rheims. The development was traced trom the early Romanesque churches into the complicated structure of the true Gothic cathedral. Next came the lecture on “The Art of the Italian Renaissance”. This period produced some of the world’s greatest figures in paint ing, architecture and sculpture. Michelan gelo, Leonardo da. Vinci, Raphael, the out standing artists of the Renaissance, were studied in detail. “Dutch Art of the Seventeenth Century” followed, emphasizing Rembrandt, represent ing the universal art of the Dutch school and \ ermer, the popular phase. Many of the etchings of Rembrandt were studied and each student wrote an essay on the etching she liked best. The last lecture was on Spanish Art. The art of the Spanish people is the result of a mixture of many foreign influences, which came with the invasion of Spain by the Visigoths, Moors and French. All the lectures were supplemented by the discussion of pictures which were given by the Carnegie Corporation especially for use in this course. It may he truthfully stated that the course fulfilled one of the most outstanding pur poses of its designer in affording to all stu dents a rich cultural background for further personal development. + West Side Service Station GASOLINE AND OILS We specialize in tire and battery charging, etc. . .
