Spelmans sixty-sixth birthday is well
nigh on its way and we are eagerly look
ing forward to it. Like many other
events, it comes but once a year. It is a
day of celebration, of reminiscing, and
of thanksgiving; a celebration of an im
portant event, reminiscing of past mem
ories and thanksgiving for our founders
and for the progress that Spelman has
made these sixty-six years.
It is a day of traditions. Gymnastic
erercises take place on the center cam
pus in the morning; afterwards the stu
dents assemble in Howe Hall for the
climax of the Founders Day Drive, and in
the afternoon the formal exercises are
held in Sisters Chapel.
I he students are given a chance to ex
press their appreciation by making a
contribution on the school’s birthday, but
no matter how great the gift, we realize
that gratitude and appreciation are far
beyond our poor power to express. The
\lumnae this Founders Day are making
a special effort to increase the loyalty
F und in honor of Miss Read's twentieth
anniversary. It would he a very satisfac
tory step if we would take this into con
sideration and show our appreciation to
Miss Read by making every possible
effort to make our Founders Day Rally
the best in the history of Spelman.
Io the Seniors, Founders Dav marks
the beginning of the end. It is the first
day on which they don their academic
attire. It signifies the gradual ending of
four years of hard work and wonderful
living in an understanding community.
Many hearts are sad. for it is difficult to
anticipate tearing ones self away from
people who have influenced the greater
part of one s life for four years.
't es. this Founders Day will be in
delibly stamped upon the minds of every
graduating senior. It will go with them
throughout the years, inspire them and
keep their minds refreshed with the mem
ory of their Alma Mater for the years to
come, l lie last Founders Day will he the
one closest to our hearts.
It is hoped that the spirit this year
will he both beautiful and inspiring. En
thusiastically we anticipate it and may we
enthusiastically receive it. We hope that
the day will close with the fervent prayer
that our Alma Maters light shall shine
undimmed and that through years of toil
and pain her dear walls shall remain
eternally.
CHAPEL NOTES
Alma Powell, '47
It is with no small pleasure that 1 turn
hack the pages of my chapel notes for
February before “time and eternity”
claim them for their own. These notes
remind me that February brought more
than a low (17 degrees, wdiew! ) tem
perature to the campus. It brought in
addition an album of noteworthy guests.
Very early in the month, the chapel
assembly was made the richer by the
presence, enhanced by the experiences of.
Dr. / h cod ore Greene. Dr. Green was
horn in Turkey, was for many years
teacher and professor at Princeton and
is now professor of philosophy at Vale.
In answer to the question of “How to
get along with Russia”, Mr. Maurice Hin
dus, considered by many sources an au
thority on Russia, offered his well-found
ed opinions. Is war with Russia inevita
ble ? Mr. Hindus feels that any such idea
is nonsense. According to him. “There
were times when wars were profitable
Both Russia and we know that in such
an engagement we should destroy each
other. And that is about all!”
Dr. James Lee El/inwood, pastor, Navy
chaplain and secretary of Y.M.C.A.’s of
the State of New York paid a visit to the
college community and addressed the
assembly on the topic, “One of My Own
Failings. " “I am a person of high ideals,”
said Dr. Ellinwood. “Yet I am chagrined
often to recall how easy it is not to work
at any of them.”
Dr. Sherwood Eddy, one of our leading
Christian statesmen, addressed our as
sembly on the subject “What Are the
Signs of the Times?”
On February 14, Dr. Nathaniel Till
man was the guest speaker. In speaking
of Dr. John Hope he described him as
“a man more important than his race”.
Miss Eleanor Durham of the World
Student Service Fund spoke on the ‘Re
sponsibility of Educators in the World
Today”.
