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. —Released by Interracial Office The members of the Alumni have not respond ed wholeheartedly to the call of the MAROON TIGER.
