Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and church groups, five
other public meetings, a radio talk at Pasadena, and
the annual Y. M. C. A. student conference at Asilo-
mar. Mr. Thurman spoke on an average of three times
a day. We wish that space would permit the printing
of some of the many fine things that have been written
and said of him by people with whom he came in con
tact. Here is one excerpt from a letter to President
Archer written by Mr. Landram, the Field Secretary of
the Council: “Many of our leaders feel that he has
made the most significant spiritual contribution of any
one in recent years. . . Students and student leaders have
been most appreciative and enthusiastic and there is
a unanimous desire to have Mr. Thurman with us again
whenever there is opportunity. ... In it all I feel that
Morehouse and Spelman Colleges have extended their
influence throughout the Pacific Southwest in releasing
the sources of understanding and spiritual renewal
through the person and message of Howard Thurman.”
TRADITION ON THE SPOT

Let us ask for more consideration in regard to what
chapel programs we are compelled to attend.
Last, but not least, fellows: let’s talk, write, preach,
and ask for what we want, and as sure as a continuous
dropping of water wears the biggest stone away, so will
such come to pass.
LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS

unite the idealists of the North and the practical busi
ness men of the South. With force of character, with
strength of conviction and rugged scholarship, Lincoln
gained the confidence of his people and succeeded in
establishing personality as an end in practice as well
as in the theory.
Lincoln is significant to me for two reasons. First,
he proved that poverty is not necessarily a barrier to
success; and secondly, he made explicit the fact that
They are slaves who fail
To help the friendless and the poor
They are slaves who fear to be
In the right with two or three.
As Frederick Douglass said, “He proved that a Gov
ernment that could give liberty in its Constitution does
have the power to protect liberty in its administration.”

hope is to bring down to earth the Star of Bethlehem.”
Rev. B. T. Harvey, Sr., ex-pastor, Trinity Baptist
Church of Williamsbridge, New York, brought us a burn
ing message on “Peace and How To Secure It” on
Sunday, February 7th. Rev. Harvey advised that the
best way to get world peace is to acclaim and live the
life of Jesus Christ.
On February 9th, we were addressed by Rev. Harvey
Smith, an Alumnus of Morehouse College. He urged
his hearers to leave the crowd for there are great things
of spiritual depth to be found at the top capable of
repudiating an inferiority complex.
February 1st, Dr. L. P. Jacks, educator, journalist,
and lecturer, spoke to a group of students and teachers
concerning the problems of life, of education.
DO FRATERNITIES JUSTIFY THEIR
EXISTENCE?
Continued From Page Four
would be trouble makers in heaven! The vast majority
of fraternity men see something more than social pres
tige and self aggrandizement in fraternities. To them
the fraternity affords a means of expressing in a united,
organized canner the desire for a higher type of scholar
ship, a higher standard of moral values and a means
of all-round manly development.
Thus, we emphasize scholarship, we strive for charac
ter building, we make the individual the end in himself
and not a means. Again, we work for that unity of
brotherhood which transcends the narrow bounds of a
chapter roll or of a particular group.
Yes, fraternities have their faults! But, if unity and
cooperation are essential to progress, if the cultivation
of trur friendships is necessary to the highest develop
ment of personality, if scholarly attainments are pre
requisites to social evolution, are not fraternities among
those organizations which make contributions to the pro
gress of our students?
We measure mountains by their peaks, not by the
rivers, and valleys that struggles that struggle at their
feet.” How will you measure the fraternity?
