THE MAROON TIGER
These, as outlined by Dr. Hubert, were the
corner stones of the old Negro church, and, in
their broader significance, are the corner stone3
of all progressive civilizations.

TWO OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOKS
Although we are assailed on very side by in
numerable forces of evil; although the very soul
of humanity itself is torn and battered by social,
political, and religious discord, yet, we who are
Christians, look forward to a new heaven, and a
new earth in which dwelleth Righteousness.

The Class of ’23
Senior College Class Poem
1 By H. W. Thurman, ’23 and W. K. Payne, ’23 _
I.
We came.
From hamlet, burg and urban heights afar,
Where open hearth and flickering torch,
Or harnessed lightning shed its rays,
We dreamed.
We yearned, we hungered long and oft
To see our magic hopes become our own;
At last, with cheeks aflush,
Courageous, unafraid,
We came.
II.
We grew.
The pains of grilling toil,
The pangs of failing grades,
The aftermath of vic’tries won
Thru long, hurrying years—
This place our nursery,
Our fostering Mater,
Thru long, swirling years
We grew
white pramiries, the President sees a larger po
litical freedom for Negroes, and an avenue
through which they may travel in pursuance of
such rights upon which rests the freedom of body
and of spirit—the Freedom of the Free.

THE IDEAL as the standard of solving the
problems of racial relationship is the plea of a
group of students from the Universities of Michi
gan and Chicago. These young men and women,
mindful of the many obstacles that the idealist
must encounter, have pledged their lives to a
cause, and to a problem whose solution is yet a
dream in the minds of those who in the power of
their faith look forward to a new heaven and a
new earth in which dwelleth Righteousness.

start right where you stand.”
III.
We go.
The mystic had has marked the end.
It is the beginning.
Sons—loyal, triumphant,
Prepared at thy shrine,
We go.
Fond Mater, to reflect the halo
Which thy face hath shed—
On the heights, in the valley, pursuing the gleam
Where’er it lead,
—True to the promise made in the above poem,
the members of the Class of ’23 are reflecting
glory upon themselves and our Alma Mater. They
have penetrated and achieved as scholars in lead
ing universities—they have in the brief span of
four years established themselves in secure posi
tions whereby they are able to contribute to
progress.
The records made by these men should act as
an impetus to all Morehouse men to develop their
innate capacities. Morehouse men the call is
clarion; the field is open—I hear the men of the
Class of ’27 say in unison, with an intensity and
a seriousness that rock the inmost chambers of
a yearning soul, we will go. We must go.
