Page 6 THE MAROON TIGER QdbWlpllS MOREHOUSE AUXILIARY PLAY IS GALA EVENT Otherwise staid Morehouse College faculty members and faculty wives forgot their dignity for an evening when the Woman’s Auxiliary of Morehouse College, March 30, presented with alhfacuity cast the farce “You’re Telling Me” before an audience that filled Sale Hall Chapel to capacity. In the audience was the entire delegation of the national Association of College Women, whose annual convention opened earlier in the evening at the Atlanta University Library. The proceeds of the play went toward payment of the pledge of one thousand dollars which the Auxiliary has made to the Morehouse College Endowment Fund. The play depicted the complications that arose in the home of a wealthy Long Island family when the daughter, Kit Carstairs, played by Miss Mildred L. Burch, secretary to President Archer, in an attempt to recoup the family fortunes, invited a “newly-rich” mother and her two daughters, played by Miss Alma Ferguson, Mrs. K. A. Huggins, and Mrs. Rayford W. Logan, to visit her home to meet some friends who were to pose as titled foreigners. The ineptitude of Mrs. Carstairs, played by Mrs. G. Lewis Chandler, the blundering of her sleepy brother-in-law (Dr. Raymond H. Carter) and the unwillingness of their house- guest, Pamela Snowden (Mrs. R. W. Mitchell) to enact the role of a titled English lady added to the complica tions. Confusion was thrice confounded by the appearance of Loyd Hamilton (Mr. E. A. Jones), a rich young man who allowed himself to be drafted as a butler, his clumsy friend, Ward Wanger (Mr. H. V. Eagleson), and Edou ard La Rue (Mr. R. W. Mitchell), an aviator who hap pens in just in time to straighten out the ever-increasing tangle. The play was skillfully directed by Mr. G. Lewis Chandler of the Morehouse College department of English. Mrs. Clarence J. Gresham served as stage manager. ALBERT BUSHNELL HART VISITS ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TO STUDY ITS LIBRARY Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard University, who, as chairman of the building committee of Howard University's board of trustees, is in charge of the Univer sity’s new library development, visited Atlanta University to study the construction and organization of the Univer sity Library. During his day’s visit in Atlanta, he addressed an audi ence of members of the faculties of Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College, and the gradu ate students, and told of his life-long interest in the prob lems of slavery and reconstruction. His first association with the Negro problem, he said, was with the working of the “underground railway” in Southern Ohio, where both his father and his aunt were actively engaged in the work of assisting escaped slaves to pass through to safety. Professor Hart is one of the most prolific and well- known of American historians, being the author of more than forty volumes or series on United States History. He was a member of the faculty of Harvard University for 43 years and is now a professor-emeritus of that institu tion. He has served as president of both the American Historical Association and the American Political Science Association. His most outstanding recent public service was his work as historian of the U. S. Commission for the Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington. On July 1 of this year, Doctor Hart will celebrate his eightieth birthday.
