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.
