The Spelman woman who regards the lilies and regulations of the school com munity as being beneficial to the welfare of all the members, undoubtedly will be as equally aware of the effectiveness of the laws in her local community. The Spelmanite who believes in and executes the high ideals of honesty, trustworth iness, cooperation, punctuality and de pendability d uring her college days will be just as efficient and dependable in her own community. Thus, in the same manner in which a student has borne her duty work responsibilities in the dormitory will she assume her duties in her home. The successful citizen of the home community will be the woman who as a student has undertaken the role of a good citizen in her school community rather than the student who has striven for good scholarship only. Spelman looks forward with great anticipation toward having her good citizens take their places among the good citizens of the world. —Amanda Keith, ’47. An Academic Dilemma Sei.oma Smith, '46 At last it's all past The study and fast, The desire to stay up nights and cram. The prayers for more knowledge To get you through college. Or please, Lord, to pass one exam! You’ve probably said it. 1 11 give you the credit That next year you'll study, and how! To ease the suspense Of fears all intense Makes you feel like beginning right now. But. then, there’s a chance To go to a dance, Or to loll unrushed, the day through. And what of the vow To study right now? 1 know . . . because I pledged, too. Art Department This year the art department of Spel man college is anticipating an interesting and representative spring showing in the annual Atlanta University art exhibit. The Atlanta University community is very happy to have Mr. Hale Woodruff, well known and acclaimed artist, who has been away on leave for two years. This year Mr. Woodruff is the instruc tor in drawing and painting, and history of art and appreciation. The sculpture and ceramics classes are fortunate in having Miss Alyce Dunbar, a product of the Boston Museum of Art, as the instructor. Miss Dunbar recently had a piece of her work chosen as one of the recognized collections of art on exhibit at the Boston Museum of art, which is always an honor to its students and artists in general. Veterans Come Home This semester at Morehouse College- a great number of veterans have returned to continue their academic education, which was interrupted by the war. The Campus Mirror Staff would like to take this opportunity to welcome the returned veterans, who have realized the importance of further education. It is our sincere hope that your ad justment to civilian life and its environ ments will be a speedy one and your aims he accomplished with much success. Peace and rest at length have come, all the day's toil is past, and each heart is whispering; “Home, Home at last!” Dr. Tillman Speaks in Chapel Pinkie Gordon. ’49 “A good education is within your grasp if you want it. " This is what Dr. Na thaniel Tillman, head of the English de partment at Atlanta University said in our chapel one morning. Dr. Tillman emphasized the importance of choosing cour.es in college not so much for the acquiring of certain credits as for the filling of certain gaps in our lives. “Choose those courses that will help you to grow as individuals,’’ he said. It is surprising how many of us lose sight of this purpose of our college. I shall never forget the time I heard an educator give a baccalaureate sermon to a high school group in which he advised the young graduates to go through col lege even if it meant going in the front door and through the back. The gist of the speech was that a person should get, or make some attempt to get a college degree at any costs. I was pleased when the following speaker reversed the senti ment by saying that an education isn’t something one gets; it is something that one develops. If there is nothing there to develop, then there is nothing there to get. The aim of coming to college not only determines the choice of courses that will help us to grow but it also will stim ulate us to make every effort to apply ourselves, for in this way only can we develop. I witnessed a scene one day in which one girl charged another with doing more studying than anyone else in the dormitory. “With all the studying you do,” she remarked “you should make all A’s.” I sincerely believe that she felt that the other girl would and should do this. She was not taking into consideration that there are different levels of intelligence and that different persons will master a given subject with varying degrees of home preparation. I think too that this first girl failed to realize that the other student may have been conscientously preparing her work without too much regard to resulting grades. Class marks are not to be thought of as rewards. They are merely means of measuring develop ment. “Choose courses that will make you grow in your thinking. Choose courses that will help you to project your lives into the future.” says Dr. Tillman. “This type of education is within your grasp if you want it.”
