the graveness of our present situ

place those who will not return to
our homeland. To these brothers
we wish hearty congratulations and
hope all of them shall continue to
produce large families. Congratula
tions Brothers Bolden, Banks, Turk,
and Turner.
Alpha has seen the importance of
our worthy Expansion Campaign
and has contributed to the under
taking. The men of Alpha are hap
py and eager to participate in all
causes which are beneficial to the
students and which at the same'
time increase the activities of our
college.
We are sorry, however of the one
ill:ness in <ur group. Brother Ru
fus Wilson 11 has been hospitalized
but he is now* at home convalescing
from rheumatic fever. We wish
him a speedy recovery.
