Five of these buildings have been completed and occupied witfrn the past eighteen months, the University Library, Administration Hall, the President’s Residence and the men’s and women’s dormitories, which are designed to furnish living quarters for 200 students and faculty mem bers of Atlanta University. With the largest freshman class in some years and with registration to date in excess of last year’s total enrollment, Morehouse College began the new academic year.

Freshmen led all classes with 88 men registered, the best showing since the pre-depression years. Other class es were tabulated as foil ows: seniors, 51; juniors, 53; sophomores, 38. With gratifying enrollment of graduate students from 15 colleges throughout the United States, Atlanta Uni versity this week began its sixty-fourth year of instruc tion and its fourth year as an institution devoted entire ly to graduate study. Coincident with the inauguration of the academic year the University officially opened its new group of dormi tories, consisting of two halls, one for the use of wom en and one for men, and a commodious dining hall and kitchen wing. In the group are individual rooms for 200 students and faculty members, a series of suites for married faculty members and their wives, spacious lounges and reception rooms, and a modern kitchen and service room. The new halls, built in the Georgian Colonial tradition, correspond in their architecture and decoration to the new University Library and Adminis tration Hall. Three new members of the faculty take up their du ties this fall, Mr. William H. Dean in the Department of Economics, Mr. Rayford W. Logan in the Depart ment of History and Mr. Kimuel Alonzo Huggins, in the Department of Chemistry. Mr. Dean, a graduate of Bowdoin College in 1930, comes to the University from Harvard University where he carried on his graduate studies under the Henry Lee Fellowship in Economics, the first Negro to be award ed this honor, and was awarded the Master of Arts decree in 1932. Mr. Logan was an honor graduate of Williams College in 1917, has received the degree of Master of Arts from both Williams and Harvard Llni- versities, and has completed two years’ residence at Har vard toward his doctorate in history. He is well-known for his writings in the field of Negro history, and his work in connection with the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Washington, D. C. Both Mr. Dean and Mr. Logan are members of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Mr. Huggins, who was graduated from Morehouse College in 1923 and received his Master of Science de gree from the University of Chicago in 1929. was for merly a member of the Morehouse faculty. He returned this fall from the University of Chicago, where he spent the last year in graduate study. Dr. W. E. B.

He will conduct a seminar course in Economic and Social Cooperation among American Negroes and a senior-graduate course on the Sociology of the American Negro (1850-1876). SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS CLUB OFFERS PECULIAR OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS One of the oldest organizations for students majoring in the sciences is the Science and Mathematics Club. This organization affords one a splendid opportunity to do research in his respective field as well as to con nect the interdependence of any science to all of the sciences. Not only is the student allowed the privilege of doing research, but he has the able assistance of ev ery science instructor to aid him in his pursuit. The club aims to keep each member fresh with the doings of scientific achievement. This aid comes through periodi cal magazines of science obtainable in our well-equipped library. The Science and Mathematics Club is not necessari ly a club of students majoring in some science. From time to time the club has noted speakers whose mes sages impart valuable information to all and not to stu dents of science alone. Therefore, the club invites all to its open meetings. Announcements will be posted when ever an authority or noted speaker is to lecture. Advanced Freshmen and upperclassmen who major in science and who have maintained a good average are eligible for membership.
