It is very important and essential that students take an enthusiastic interest in their school paper for it is a means of expression of the students, for the stu dents, and by the students, and not the staff alone.

Miss Read’s Greeting 1 he Quaker philosopher, Rufus Jones, quotes the following lines from a poem by a young Cambridge man who was a casualty of the First World War: “/ have a self 1 never yet have met; My inner and eternal me.” “We all carry, hidden deep within, un suspected by our friends, and only dimly glimpsed by ourselves in our highest moments, this inner possible self, which the mirror when we brush our hair never presents to us.” Whatever happens to the world or to us as individuals as a result of the release of atomic power, our major business is to develop, liberate, that deeper possible self. No human being knows to what stature you might grow if you really lived up to your highest possibilities. No one knows what talents and powers are latent in you — buried deep perhaps — crusted over by pride or laziness or bad habits. There is dormant power in you as there is in the atom. College provides many means of developing and increasing your intellectual power and your social power, even your spiritual power. Are you ready to take advantage of them and to face the consequences? Florence M. Read. An Inspiring Speaker, Mary McLeod Bethune Charlotte Arnold. ’46 On Tuesday morning, October 9, 1945. the students and faculty of Spelman Col lege were honored to have Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune as speaker during the chapel service. The theme of Mrs. Bethune’s talk was the importance of real, true, rugged womanhood. She impressed upon us the importance of taking advantage of the cultural atmosphere which is provided by such institutions as Spelman College. By doing so. we shall he better equipped to go forth and make the world a better place in which to live. Mrs. Bethune also stated that, since no race can rise higher than its womanhood, it is our duty to be courageous, stalwart, upright and willing to sacrifice for the advancement of our race. The audience was impressed with the poise and eloquence of Mary McLeod Bethune, and throughout our years we shall carry with us the challenge of this great woman. support — THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND
