THE MAROON TIGER Page 9 DR. DUBOIS WELCOMED TO THE UNIVERSITY AS GUEST PROFESSOR Several members of our Senior Class consider themselves unusually fortunate in being members of one of the two classes being conducted by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Dr. DuBois is serving as guest pro fessor this semester of Atlanta Uni versity upon whose faculty he served for fourteen years (1896-1910) as professor of economics and history. Dr. DuBois is a graduate of Fisk University and holds several degrees in addition to which he has added much foreign travel and incessant study and writing. It was while at Atlanta University that Dr. DuBois edited the well- known series of twenty studies, The Atlanta University Studies of Negro Problems. Since 1910, as editor of THE COURSE OF EVENTS The daily shifting of our calen dar reveals to the alert Morehouse student pages well filled with inter esting and inspiring events. Al though it is somewhat against the policy of this column to burden its patriotic readers with matters of com mon knowledge, we are taking the liberty this month of mentioning some of the fine chapel programs which are being scheduled and be ing presented during February. MOREHOUSE OBSERVES ROSENWALD WEEK The week of February 5th is be ing observed in many parts of the Nation as Rosenwald Week in hon or of that great “friend and bene factor of mankind,” Julius Rosen wald. The significance of Rosen wald Week can well be appreciated when one pauses to take into account those many beneficial institutions whose creation and maintenance have come as a result of Rosenwald’s philanthropic genius. To the Ne gro, especially, the name Rosenwald bears even a deeper significance, for it must be admitted that it was only through his interest and friendship that the many rural schools through out the Southland and many Y. M. C. A. buildings came into reality. Mr. and Mrs. Rosenwald appeared unheralded on the rostrum of Sale Hall Chapel one morning in the Spring of 1929 to say a few words The Crisis and director of publica tions for the N. A. A. C. P., Dr. Du Bois has shown untiring effort and interest in bringing forward those facts and problems of great impor tance to the welfare of our race. As we recall the excellent series of lectures which Dr. DuBois de livered here last March we can well predict the interest which will lx maintained in his courses and only hope that his program will permit others to hear him at some time dur ing the semester. President Robert Hutchins of the University of Chicago will be in At lanta February 16th, and will speak at Agnes Scott College on the eve ning of the same date. He will also address a body of students from At lanta University, Morehouse and Spelman Colleges.

As it is now recalled, the few words of both reflected a genuine interest and contained no small degree of saga city. Rosenwald Week on our campus was opened with the Sunday morn ing services, February 5th, at which time Dr. L. 0. Lewis made an ad dress on “Rosenwald and the Y. M. C. A.” Morehouse College was rep- rented at the Memorial Services held that evening at the Butler Street Y. M. C. A. President Archer spoke Tuesday on Rosenwald’s character and personality. The remainder of the week was taken up by a series of programs conducted by the vari ous classes. On Tuesday evening Freshman talent glittered during a very inter esting program featuring Messrs. Banks and Long as speakers who gave “Biographical Sketches of Mr. Rosenwald.” The Freshman quar tet drew much applause. Wednesday morning’s program was in the hands of the Sophomore class. The subject was “Rosenwald and Rural Education.” John Young was the speaker. The Junior class presented Law rence Hall, Thursday, who spoke on “Rosenwald and Higher Education.” Friday, Wm. H. Shell of the Sen ior Class brought the series to a fit ting close with an impressive talk on “The Significance of Rosenwald’s Life.” BENJAMIN BRAWLEY TO BE FOUNDER’S DAY SPEAKER Dr. Benjamin Griffith Brawley is being presented as the Founder’s Day speaker, Sunday afternoon, Febru ary 19th by the local branch of the Alumni Association. Dr. Brawley^ who is now at the head of the Eng lish Department of Howard Univer sity, is a graduate of Morehouse Col lege and Howard University. We hail the appearance of this recog nized scholar as an event of great promise. Dr. Brawley is the author of several text-books, two of which all lower classmen should be well acquainted with, his Freshman Year English and Survey of English Lit erature. In whatever “Dean” Braw ley (as he is popularly known) may have to say, we feel assured that this will not only be inspiration and information, but also a healthy dash of “that good Morehouse spice” which our dear Alma Mater so care fully instills in even her lesser sons. In addition to the afternoon appear ance which will be open to the pub lic, a morning program is being ar ranged so that we may hear even more of what Dr. Brawley is cer tain to bring to us. MRS.
