WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THE NEW WAY
OF CONDUCTING CHAPEL
Gone are the clays when men left Chapel with an ex
hilarating feeling and a topic for discussion on the camp
us. Fond memories are the gripping lectures we used
to receive from the rostrum. Now everyone leaves Chap
el with a long face and a sigh of relief. It has been
said that “Variety is the spice of life,” and it seems
that varied programs consisting of interesting lectures
are a thing of the past. J. C. Brown, ’30.

The new way of conducting Chapel is very unique
at Morehouse, but quite inspiring, nevertheless. It
offers a religious atmosphere that is so condensed, so
uniform, yet so practical that one immediately finds
himself out of the realms of his present difficulties.
L. E. Patton, ’30.
* * *
Chapel services should be conducted so as to im
press and inspire the whole student body. From its
present showing the scope of its inspiration is, to a cer
tain extent, limited, and consequently, the devout in
terest that once gripped the students is now ebbing out.
Services that possess the characteristic sameness from
day to day become monotonous. Thus the interest of
the less religiously inclined will wander in other direc
tions. To have a well-rounded Chapel service is to have
an interested student body.—Cornell E. Tally, ’32.
* * *
We are pleased to acknowledge that at last our Chap
el services have reached that stage where they are less
of a time liability and more of a religious and educa
tional asset. The newly formed policy of reviewing the
lives of men of achievement, and discussing the import
ant events in the economic, social, and religious world,
if accomplishing no more, has really revolutionzed a
service that is of interest to all.—G. W. Crocket, ’31.

WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT
THE NEW UNIVERSITY
Strategically located at the pivot of Negro education
in the South, the new University is destined to become
perhaps the greatest of its kind in the world. Certain
ly this new advantage afforded to Negro youth will go
a long way toward enhancing the development and ex
pression of the culture and genius of the group—R. I.
McKinney, ’30.

It seems to me that the new University system will
supply a need in Negro education which has been long
felt in the South especially, and throughout the country
for that matter.—S. F. Ray, ’30.
BY WAY OF WELCOME
The school year 1929-30 has begun and many new
faces are seen in our campus community. Among the
many who have come to Morehouse for the first time
are some members of the faculty. It is to this group
that we of The Maroon Tiger wish to extend a hearty
welcome.
In this number we have Prof. Forrestor 0. Wiggins,
in the French Department, A. B., Butler College, who
has recently returned from a year’s study at the Uni
versity of Paris and L’lnstitute de Touraine, Tours,
France; Professor Samuel C. Warren, in the English
Department, A. B., Allegheny College, A. M., Univer
sity of Wisconsin; Professor Raymond Vaughn, in the
Geology Department, A. B., Colgate University, who,
has taken up his duties as head coach after a brilliant
athletic career at his Alma Mater; Mr. John C. Bridges,
in the Biology Department, B. S., Morehouse College.
We likewise extend a very cordial welcome to Miss
Bailey and Mrs. Powell, who are new members of the
office staff. Both of these ladies are graduates of Spel-
man College.
Again, we wish for the new members of the faculty
a very successful, as well as pleasant, stay at Morehouse.
