THE BOOSTERS CLUB
John Hope, II., ’30
Last year the late Dr. M. W. Reddick founded
a club known as the Boosters’ Club. This club
had a very lofty purpose as has everything that im
bibes the spirit and personality that radiated from
this man. A physically massive and towering man
he was spiri:ually even more gigantic. In purpose,
this was a club after his own heart. Its purpose
was to make a bigger and better Morehouse by
quickening the spiritual life of the student body
as a whole. This was to be done by so injecting
into everybody that Christian spirit of brotherly
love and service to humanity, that the students
would more indelibly write the name of Morehouse
College in the ha 1 ’ o .far a a ban J of MEN
distinc . for i.s unselfish Christian service to hu
manity.
Fellows, is not this club based upon the prin
ciples of its founder who strove diligently and daily
to emulate his ideal, Jesus Christ? And, is not
Christ our criterion of Manhood? If the purpose
of Morehouse is to train men, this club must not
pass with the physical passage of our beloved Pro
fessor Reddick, but, even more, live on like his
immortal soul perpetually radiating its purpose and
spirit.
Y. M. C. A. NEWS—Our Penny Campaign
W. H. King, Jr, ’27
In the last issue of this publication we told
you of the financial struggle that the Y. M. C. A.
saw inevitable in the pursuance of its current pro*
gram. It is our desire now to tell you of the cam
paign that has since been inaugurated.
It was in a large measure due to the ingenuity
of Dr. Chas. D. Hubert that such an idea of penny
offering was instituted The plan is as follows. Each
studen! of Morehouse College and each faculty mem
ber is asked to contribute an amount equivalent to
the sum of twenty offerings, beginning with one
cent and increasing by one cent each week through
a period of twenty weeks. That is, the first week one
was asked to contribute one cent, the second week
two cents, and the twentieth week twenty cents.
Due to the kindness of numerous students who
have begun their offerings at the twentieth week, we
are glad to announce that the result of our collec-
•ions have been quite commendable. The first week
netted $7.92, the second week $14.10, and the third
week to da’e, $12.40. We are hoping fo,r a big con-
r ion this week in or 'er hat we may have enough
to sei.u our delegate to Milwaukee to attend the
Na ional Student Conference.
It is exceedingly gratifying to see that our stu
dent body on the whole more and more sees the
need of supporting uniformly and concertedly our
numerous campus activities. The place of the “Y”
in our school life is a very unique one, and we are
particularly grateful for this financial encourage
ment.
We implore our student body to keep up the
good fight—give as much as possible when you can
to tako care of the day when possibly you can’t.
To our graduate friends we extend a cordial in
vitation to co-operate with us in this work. Address:
Alva Carroll, Treasurer, Morehouse College, Atlanta,
Georgia.
