W. A. SCOTT
We pause here to doff our hats to a distinguished pub'
lisher and former student of Morehouse College, W. A.
Scott. None too great a tribute can be paid to this man
of Morehouse v,ho had the grit and determination to
carry through a great idea and who was clipped at the
height of his brilliant career by an assassin’s bullet.
Scott was a man of many and wide experiences. He
entered Morehouse at the age of 19 in 1921 after having
attended public school in Mississippi. Scott became con-
spicuous in student affairs as scon as he set foot on the
campus. He was an active member of the organizations
here, including the debating team, the Y. M. C. A., and
most of all, quarterback of the famed “Tour Horsemen”
of 1924 and 1925. President Archer, speaking at the
funeral of the ill-fated journalist, said: “When W. A.
Scott came to our institution, he immediately assumed
student leadership, a very difficult role for anyone to
undertake. He wanted the best and sought the best.
Possessed of a bright, keen, analytical type of mind, he
could see clearly his objective, quickly figured the shortest
way to get there, and nearly always he got there.”
Everyone admires a leader—and Scott was a leader.
His forceful life of leadership should be a lesson to those
of us who are so weak as to be afraid to venture out on
new business projects. W. A. Scott lived in difficulty,
but he discarded all thoughts of the facts that the Negro
is inferior, that there is no way for him to advance in
this complex civilization. He sets before us a memorable
example of that valiant leadership of which the Negro
is so nearly devoid. —Otis McCree.
The inspiring programs that made up
THE SPIRIT the Founder’s Day celebration should be
WAS HIGH inspiring to the new students and stimu
lating to the old. The meeting on Sun
day at which the Reverend Adams delivered his timely
address, the amusing basketball game on Monday between
the Seniors and the Alumni, and the Alumni banquet
on Monday night exemplified that dynamic spirit that has
been so instrumental in making Morehouse what it is.
The list of the student contributors to the endowment
fund shows how the seudents are responding to the call.
With these manifestations of spirit among us I feel that
success is an easy probability. It remains that we, how
ever, exert all efforts and take no chances on missing, for,
as the president says, although we have laurels on our
brows, let us not browse on our laurels.
Said David Seabury, New York psychologist, at Chi
cago recently: “Everybody will be insane by 2139 A. D.,
if the present increase is maintained.”
Seems that Mr. Seabury overestimated by at least 100
years.
The staff is pleased to announce the ap-
STAFF pointment of Raphael McIver to the posi-
CHANGES tion of Literary Editor. Mr. McIver
attended Morehouse, last year but was
absent for the first semester of the present school term.
He returned in the niche of time to replace the vacancy
caused by the leaving of Mr. John H. Young, who has
been forced to withdraw on account of his health. The
versatile Mr. Young will be hard to replace, but we feel
that in Mr. McIver we have gained a competent man.
