THE MAROON TIGER Page Thirty-two 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. AJ nil mm Notes E. L. Birkstiner, '16 D. ’84—Dr. and Mrs. E. R.
