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.
