GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA LOSES MANY
MEN THROUGH GRADUATION
Music, Music Everywhere
The Glee Club and Orchestra were called to order by
the Director, Prof. Kemper Harreld. Many new mem
bers as well as “vets” responded to the call.
Many new faces are to be found in the Glee Club
this year, and many States are represented, for instance,
Georgia, Alabama, Michigan, etc.
The Orchestra has been enlarged by men who are
capable of holding up the good morals and talent that
have been the background of the Orchestra. Despite
the fact that many of our last year’s artists have been
lost by graduation, we are looking forward to bigger
and better musical entertainment from this year’s group.
Among those who ended their career of music at
Morehouse College last year are the following:
Kenneth Days, the silvertone trumpeter; Y. D. Mi-
zell, Glanville “Bing” Lockette, J. A. (Rudy) Colston,
the Oboist; Edwin Thomas and Willie Moses, the violin
twins; Edwin Driskill, the (Piper) Bassonist; A. Jor
dan and B. Smith, and last, hut not least H. (Herby)
Mells, the musician in full.
Those who are largely responsible for the betterment
of the combined organization are as follows:
Theo. Nash, President; Ed. Rodrigues, Manager; T.
A. Dawson, Treasurer; Wilson Hubert, Vice President
and Assistant Manager; Wilbur Martin, Secretary; El
mer Barksdale, Librarian.

MINISTERS’ UNION INVITES
NEW MEMBERS
The Morehouse Ministers’ Union is an organization,
which in practice and theory is the very opposite of a
static one. Its original purpose was to give or pre
sent to those men who were aspiring to the Ministry,
opportunities to put their concepts into practice, by
means of contact with the congregations of the city
and elsewhere. By virtue of its activity, it has enlarged
its purpose to such a degree that now it is wielding
a healthful and beneficial influence on the campus and
in the city-at-large.
The Union regrets the loss, through graduation, of
those, our beloved brothers, Rev. A. L. Sanders and
Rev. F. N. Marshburn, two untiring and efficient per
sonalities, who by the medium of lofty ideals and un
approachable demeanor, scatter a healthful influence
on the College as a whole. We know that wherever
they are, that same brotherly and aggressive spirit will
distinguish them.
The Union is headed by a new official staff and mem
bers, who have caught up the spirit of adventure, pro
gress and service, a spirit which is generally known as
characteristic of the Morehouse Ministers’ Union.
Although few in number, we do not regard it as a
great handicap for “where there is a will there is a
way.” With several of the old members, who have
a knowledge of the working of the organization, the
Spirit ran high and everyone was quite impressed as
Captain Smith introduced his husky, plucky teammates
to the audience. Let’s follow them with sincere in
terest and constant encouragement, for, after all, it’s
our team and our duty to express our loyalty “Whether
in defeat or victory.”
FACULTY AND ALUMNI NEWS

alumni and faculty which will be of interest to all. With
your help, / shall do my best.—C. J. Gresham.
The following members of our faculty were away
studying last year: Mr. Tillman, at the University of Wis
consin on his doctor’s degree, and Mr. S. M. Nabrit,

University. Mr. Nabrit is the youngest of Morehouse
sons to receive such a degree. Hats off to Dr. S. M.
Nabrit, of the Class of ’25.

We shall miss from our ranks this term some of our
best known faculty members who will be away for a
year studying. Mr. B. R. Brazeal will be at Columbia
University, New York. With him at Columbia will be
Mr. T. J. Curry. Dr. C. D. Hubert is studying at Chi
cago University this winter, and along with him Mr.
K. A. Huggins. Although the college will miss these
men, yet we are glad of this opportunity they have to
further prepare themselves for better service to their
college in the future.
The following members of our faculty of last year will
not return, but join other schools: Mr. Sam E. Warren,
Mr. W. C. Foster, Mr. T. J. Miles, Mr. Ray Vaughn, and
our own Mr. Howard Thurman, who goes to join the
faculty of Howard University as professor of Christian
Theology.
The students at Morehouse should consider them
selves blessed to have such a good faculty. We have
some excellent additions this year. Mr. John Hope, II,
of the Class of ’30, is professor in the field of Eco
nomics. Mr. Hope, II, received his M. A. degree from
Brown University this spring.
Mr. W. J. Knox will be professor of Chemistry. He
graduated from Harvard in 1925 with the A. B. degree,
and received his M. S. from Massachusetts Institute
of Technology in 1929. From 1925 to 1928 he was
a teacher at Johnson C. Smith University, North Caro-

cloud is not so dark as it seems.
We consider ourselves very fortunate in having with
us Rev. E. Davis of Cleveland, Ohio, who has first
hand knowledge of church work, having served as as
sistant of one of the most outstanding churches of that
city. Rev. C. Thomas is another member who comes
to us very highly recommended.
We are requesting that those who are looking for
ward to the ministry or Christian endeavors associate
themselves with us that we may carry out more effi
ciently, the extensive program which we have designed.
—Rev. P. W. Strickland, Pres.
