University; Dr. Antisdale of Benedict College, S. C.;
Dr. Peacock of Shaw University, N. C.; President
J. B. Watson of Leeland College, La.—the pleasure
state, he named it;—President Mallerson of Harts
horn College, Va.; President Pollard of Selma Uni
versity; President Hubert of Jackson College, Miss.;
A/lr. Bacon secretary to the president of Roger Wil
liam University; all the speeches were concise and
tjeemed with gems of truth.
Sunday night, November 11, 1926, Mr. W. H.
King, president of the Y. M. C. A., conducted the
initial meeting of the N'ational Week of Prayer. He
discussed "Manhood and Truth,” in a very convinc
ing and helpful way. He emphasized the fact that
manhood is determined by a man’s consistency in
seeking after the truth, which characterizes Christ.
During the week the following subjects were dis
cussed very effectively: “Prayer Life,” Prof. L. O.
Lewis; “Personality Versus Law,” the “Six Sins That
Killed Jesus—Namely: Religious Bigotry, Graft, Cor
ruption of Justice, Mob Violence, Miliarism and
Race Contempt,” by Dr. C. D. Hubert. All of the
services went a long way in deepening our spiritual
life on the campus.
November 24, 1926, Mr. P. M. Davis, the presi
dent of Morehouse’s Alumni Association through an
endowment committee of which Dr. C. D. Hubert
is chairman launched a six thousand dollar endow
ment drive which is to terminate February 18, 1927.
This amount will give the college one hundred dol
lars for every year it has been organized. Rev. L. A.
Pinkston, Dr. D. D. Crawford, Dr. R. H. Carter,
and Mr. Chas. W. Green, all loyal Morehouse men
made strong appeals and offered splendid sugges
tions for raising the desired sum. Dr. Crawford
pledged fifty dollars. The student body made a very
liberal pledge.
The week of November 29, 1926, Dr. M. W.
Redidick, who was fatally injured in an auto
accident December 13, gave some very prac
tical and inspiring talks on the following
subjects: “Reading.” He urged that we read l
books, magazines and papers of both cur- $
rent and historical nature; “Mixing With J
Other People,” “Making Business Contacts”
and “Making Wholesome Contacts With
Women.” I regret that the lack of space pre
vents further comment upon these timely
subjects which were handled in a masterly
and sympathetic way.
DRAMATICS
The older students, who remember the More
house Shakesperean players, are glad to welcome the
announcement that “The Tempest” is to be presented
under the direction of Professor L. D. Blanton.
The interest is real high as evidenced by the
fact that about fifty men signed up. The tryouts
and eliminations have occurred. The cast will be
chosdn later. The institution of Dramatics will be
kept alive.
