branches throughout the South. It is considered sig-
come set sooner than boys therefore, to have good
adjustment, the male should be the older. It may
suffice to say just here that Mrs. Frances S. Hall,
central figure among the defendants in the great
Halls-Mills murder case, was seven years older than
the youthful rector. When his mind flashed for a
swim in the lake, “her” bones longed for a rocking
chair. She did not complete him. Nature abhors a
vacuum in every sense of the word. In a mathema
tical sense, the sum of the two angles must be 180
degrees. If one is acute, the other must be obtuse.
Every man wants a woman who will help him live
and enjoy a full life and I think I voice the senti
ment of most men when I say that we are just as
eager today to mount the Trojan walls or swim the
Hellespont for women who can and will complete
our lives as were Troilus and Leander in the days
of old; for women who will make us “hit on all
six;” for women whose love will spin every part
of the machinery of our souls, but will not detest
the rumbling of the wheels.
So then we may conclude that these three laws are
mile posts on the royal road to happiness. They are
but guides by which we can expore the regions of so
cial life wherein our mates dwell. We are not makers
of love. We are discoverers of love. We need a social
intercourse that will aid us in this discovery; that of
fers adventure into the plains and jungles of the soul,
such that will keep us away from the hidden chasms
and pitfalls into which we are sure to fall after
marriage; one in wich the real self should stand out
in the search-light of truth and love; one through
which we can find out our likes and dislikes, our
strong points and weak points, our real desires, hopes
and longings, and learn to balance our philoso
phies of life on the equal arm scales of love. But
to my mind, such intercourse must be liberal, fre
quent and with open-mindedness. But above all, col
lege women should remain SHE women and college
should remain HE men. Yet neither should have any
fear, for I sincerely believe that there is still “that di
vine sentiment that brings out the very best and
highest in us and longs for and calls forth the very
best and highest in the one we love.”
Dr. Charles Hubert and Dr. L. O. Lewis mem
bers of our faculty, attended the Milwaukee con
ference. Rev. Howard Thurman and Dr. Mordecai
W. Johnson were discussion group leaders, at the
same conference. Both are Morehouse men.
INTER RACIAL CO OPERATION.
Advices from New York announce the award
by the Harmon Foundation of $500 and a gold med
al to Will W. Alexander, of this city, as the person
adjudged to have made the most notable contribu
tion to the improvement of race relations in Ameri
ca during the past year. The award was based on
Mr. Alexander’s service as director of the Commis
sion on Interracial Co-operation, a southern organi
sation with headquarters here and state and local
braches throughout the South. It is considered sig
nificant not only as a tribute to Mr. Alexander’s
work personally, but also as recognizing the essen
tial soundness of the principles and methods fol
lowed by the movement which he heads.
