November 15, 1935 THE CAMPUS MIRROR 3 Mr. Bullock at Chapel Minnie L. Pinson, ’36 A very spicy chapel talk was given by Mr. B. F. Bullock on November 6, 1935. He made it clear that he was on probation for making short chapel talks. Using “the book of Nature” as his topic for discussion, he pointed out the many beauties and enjoyments that we miss in life because Ave are unable to use our sense organs. He would have us understand that all worthwhile individuals Avho make prog ress along their journey must be proud to earn a living by the sweat of their own brows. Mr. Bullock cited an incident of himself when he, a young man, sustained himself for three or four days on a five-cent bag of pea nuts. But he found that dried apjiles would go even farther than peanuts; so he changed his diet from peanuts to dried apples. The object of this in cident was to show us that Avhere there is a will there is a way and that any intelligent individual will make his way in life no matter how hard his path may seem to be. He cited another interesting inci dent which illustrated “Bookishness” He stated that he once attempted to address an audience Avith a speech ay hi eh had been Avritten in the form of an outline. So much time had been spent in making the outline that the points had not been thoroughly fixed in his mind. He placed his outline on the pulpit and stepped to the front to give a short introduction, but in the meantime the wind bleAv his outline out of the AvindoAv, unnoticed by him. He then stepped to the other side of the pulpit and said, “And hence,” but the outline was not to be seen. Peeved greatly, he stepped back in front of the pulpit, raised both arms and re peated again, “and hence.” But one of the sisters in the “amen corner” replied, “Lord, son, the wind long ago blew them hints out of the Avindow.’’ This bookish outline left the speaker in a very embarrassing predicament and from that day to this he says that he fixes his outline in his brain in stead of just on a piece of paper. The lesson taught us from this incident is that we must be able to use common sense along with the facts that we get from books instead of taking the books literally and not making the facts our own with our own interpretations. The speaker concluded by saying that each of us can become the pos sessor of the Book of Nature if avo would use our sense organs. We can even see God and bring Him closer to us on earth by observing the beauty of Nature in the elements and on earth around us. The Exhibition of Prints Harriet Mayle, '39 One of the most interesting of the arts is the art of making prints. An exhibition of fifty excellent prints pre sented from October 20 to November 5 in the Exhibition room of the Atlanta University Library furnished a valu able excursion for the broadening of the interests and culture of the students of Atlanta University, Spelman and Morehouse. There Avere in this collection prints by American as Avell as European art ists, Avith representations of the vari ous types of prints such as etching, dry-point, Avood-engravings, wood-cuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. The art of print-making is believed to have had its beginning during about the middle of the 15th century and Avas then used only as a commercial activity; also Christianity may be said to have had a great deal of influence in popularizing print-making, for it Avas for the printing and illustrating of the Bible that it was perfected. A good example of this Avas given in the print of a “Page from the Nuremburg Bible” which was included in the ex hibition. During the period betAveen the 17th and 19th centuries engravings or prints of famous paintings Avere produced so that people Avho Avere not able to study original Avorks might at least come in contact with reproductions. An excel lent example of this appeared in the etching “The Gleaners” by Millet, which Ave all know as a painting but which may not he equally familiar as a print. Print-making has become so impor tant, and the results so pleasant and within the reach of people of slender means, that it is possible for the aver age person to oAvn a collection of real ly good prints. The student body wishes to thank the Art Department for bringing his excellent exhibition. Mr. Hale A. Woodruff, head of the Art Depart ment, is especially to be thanked for his very helpful lectures concerning these prints. Had it not been for these lectures, many students who were not familiar with prints and print-making, may not have enjoyed the exhibition quite as much, not having any under standing of the process used in print making. Special appreciation is extended to President John Hope, President Flor ence M. Read, Miss Luella F. Nor wood, Miss Helen T. Albro, and Mr. Harold B. Allen for their kindness in loaning to the exhibition prints from their own collections. What Is Ahead? Lenora Estelle Nance, ’39 How wonderful it is to be happy and care-free in the joyous days of one’s youth, xvith health, strong hearts, great ambitions, high spirits, and a glorious future ahead. American youth, Avho hax T e returned to school and college, it is your duty to prepare to solve the problem of decreasing the number of people avIio are incapable of thinking and of taking on responsibili ties for themselves. The children of rich parents have been pitied because they often lack the training that comes from the struggle to get an education or to hold a job. There are masses of young people today Avho are not rich; but, because of various kinds of doles, deprive themselves of the advantages Avhich come from struggle to earn their education or to become self support ing. It is the duty of college youth to take on the responsibilities of de creasing the growing amount of slov enliness, and to create Avithin our boundaries the high aim of clear and right thinking, to have within our midst a high standard of moral char acter, and to cut down the huge num ber of “Road Loafers” who are fill ing the streets and parks of America today. Great educational institutions im prove the foundations of our nation for tomorroAv with sturdy learning and the enthusiasm of youth. Our schools and colleges are training the leaders of America Avho Avill fill the vacant places as the years pass by. Upon the sturdy shoulders of these romping youth the burden of American government and American life Avill one day rest. It is they Avho must plan, study, and work to keep the Avheels of in dustry rolling, the chairs of high of fices filled, the fields yielding, the home fires burning, the melodies hum ming, the newspapers selling, the art galleries filled, the steam engines run ning, and in short, the American life floAving swiftly along. To do this they must plan, study and Avork to side-track the drag and hindrance of the unfit generations who feed fat at the public bin, hut put nothing in it. Young America, it is your job to go to school, college, business or Avherever your position calls, and re new your ambitions, your vigor and your determination to do the very best that you are capable of doing for the nation that is calling you.
