CAMPUS MIRROR
Delta Phi Della Moves
Ahead
Among the national projects spon
sored this year by Delta Phi Delta,
tin- intercollegiate honorary journalis
tic society founded in 19,'17 at More
house College, was the “Negro Digger
and Better Newspaper Week’’ which
began on February 27. The chief ob
ject of this project was to make more
people familiar with the accomplish
ments and possibilities of the Negro
press, with the hope that such knowl
edge would stimulate a greater interest
in journalism among Negro youth. In
keeping with the celebration of this
week Mr. Eric Hercules, of Morris
Brown College, was presented on Feb
ruary 28 in the Morehouse College
Chapel, and by various activities, in
cluding the sponsoring of the motion
picture “Suez,” this week was made
a feature on that campus.
In its quest for a better, more effec
tive journalism, Delta Phi Delta lias
made measurable progress. The end of
its first year finds it with five active
chapters in colleges along the eastern
coast and in Missouri. These chapters
are carrying out such projects as visits
to plants of metropolitan dailies, semi
nar discussions of writing, editing, and
experimenting in news photography.
Several chapters are editing and pub
lishing their own campus paper. The
Spectator, which appeared recently in
Atlanta, is an experiment in practice
journalism, conducted by the Alpha
Chapter at Morehouse. It is the hope
of Delta Phi Delta that the Negro press
as a special advocate for its race, will
convince America that in serving the
cause of the underprivileged, it is serv
ing the best interests of the nation.

has been breath-taking and each insti
tution lias gained strength and scope.
“But there’s a job for us to do,” the
speaker said in conclusion. “ We cannot
thrive on the labors of others, but we
must make contributions to our society
with the determination, the courage and
the willingness of him whose passing
was mourned bv the nation that hour on
February 20, 1936, if we are to achieve
for our people and ourselves the great
est goals that can be accomplished.”
Following the program, the audience
reassembled at the grave for the wreath
ceremony which consisted of two musi
cal numbers, “0 Son of Man” and the
Morehouse College hymn, the placing of
the wreath by James Hubert and Wil
liam Reid, and finally the following
pledge:
“ e, the men of Morehouse College,
do hereby pledge that we shall forever
hold sacred and dear the ideals of this
institution as conceived and taught by
our beloved leader, Dr. John Hope.”
