Yes sir, the figures are here to speak for themselves. Even at this late date the students are coming in to continue their work in spite of the depression forecasters predictions that there would hardly be enough students on hand to carry on. What is the cause of it is more than I would care to guess, but the fact remains that we are here by some gesture of fate. And what is more we have the pep and enthusiasm that should make this a red letter year. WE CAN DO IT! There is no reason why we should not make this a red letter year. We are blessed as never before with a wealth of equipment and competent faculty that is better than ever. When one thinks of the changes and improvements that have come to pass in the last four years he is forced to con clude that the time is not far distant when we shall stand shoulder to shoulder with the best that the nation affords. BUT WE MUST However, the mere fact that we have DO OUR PART! buildings and equipment does not mean that we are automatically im proved as if by magic. Improvement must necessarily arise as a result of the intelligent use of the machinery with which we have been provided. What is more, we must prove that we are using the things provided to their capacity before we can prove the necessity for ad ditional machinery. THE ENDOWMENT By all means should we bear in mind the fact that this is the last year of the Endowment campaign. The task of complet ing it is stupendous but not beyond accomplishment. With the shoulder to shoulder cooperation of every student in the college the task will not be so difficult as it may seem. The attainment of the full amount will be a boon to the institution such as nothing else can be. It will mean the end of many a financial problem. It will place us on a foundation that will insure smooth sailing, not only when the waters are calm, but even when rain laden winds sweep down upon us and mad waves in fury lash us. GOOD WORK. The work of the Morehouse College BAND! Band at the Benedict-Morehouse game was such a remarkable improvement that it would be unpardonable to overlook it. No longer will weird jazz tunes mar the spirit of play. On the other hand, the music furnished by the band increased the pen immeasurably and gave the cheering section the appearance of intelligent college men. The music de partment is to be congratulated on this worthy and time ly contribution. A WELCOME TO FRESHMEN Freshmen, welcome to Morehouse campus. Someone has said, and rightly so, that yours is the largest class that has settled on Morehouse campus in many a year. Most of you look very young, the fact that might con tribute to your future capability of absorbing all that Morehouse has to offer without waste of time. Ours being the only institution in the far South, and the rest of it, it has an enviable privilege of making men out of you. As you may have noticed already, ev erything that goes to make an environment pleasant is right here with us. We have a fine group of teachers most of whom do not lose opportunities of making them selves accessible and helpful. Our campus is now prob ably the the finest in the city of Atlanta. The record of Morehouse men through the United States and elsewhere is unsurpassed by that of any other college of similar magnitude. With all these opportunities before you, what are you Freshmen, going to do? You do not leave this campus before 1937. As you come near that date more and more of the responsibilities of the campus will pass into your hands. It will be up to you then to uphold them and pass them on to other people so that the tra ditions of Morehouse College might go on forever. Freshmen, Morehouse is greatly pleased to have you. —B. J.
