REYNOLDS ANNIVERSARY SPEAKER At the Alumni program, celebrat ed in Sale Hall, Mr. Clyde Reynolds, ’29, executive director of Provident Hospital in- Chicago, declared that “leadership is still needed today for a confused and economically insecure people as it was at the time of the college’s founding for a frustrated and confounded people.” He men tioned as a real danger to Morehouse men the continued worshiping at the shrine of tradition, which is the out growth of pride in the institution and what it has produced. His warning to the students was: “Let us be sure that we get the thing for which we came, lessons in leadership and the ability to lead.” Also participating on the program were Charles Willie, ’48, president of the senior class; Dr. M. L. King, ’30, president of the Atlanta-More- house Club; Dr. E. B. Williams of the Morehouse economics department; and Reverend Levi M. Terrell, ’28, pastor of the Zion Hill Baptist Church.

Book Draws Many Favorable Reviews From Top Writers Dr. Liston Pope, Gilbert L. Stark Professor of Social Ethics in the Di vinity School of Yale University used The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters as one of the required books in his course entitled “The Church and Organized Labor” which was of fered at Union Theological Seminary last summer. He also utilizes this volume in some of his classes at Yale University. As a result of Dr. Pope’s use of Dr. Brazeal’s book which was published by Harper and Brothers, he made the following comment: “Very few books have dealt with the juncture of race relations and labor relations so precisely as does Dean Brazeal’s study, The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. I have recommended this volume for use in my seminars on Labor Problems and on Race Rela tions, and have found it equally in formative and stimulating in each context. The book affords informa tion and insight concerning two of the most important and most contro versial fields of American life, and broadens the perspective of students who have failed to grasp the inter relatedness of these fields.” COMMENTS ON BOOK Brief excerpts from reviews of The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in substantial Social Science journals indicate significant reactions about the book. Dr. William M. Lies- erson, professor of Labor Economics at Johns Hopkins University and for merly chairman of the National Me diation Board, said in the Novem ber, 1946 issue of The Journal of Economic History: “Mr. Brazeal de scribes the origin and development of this unique union with thoroughness and understanding.” Dr. Carter G Woodson, writing in the July, 1946 issue of The Journal of Negro His tory which he edits, said: “It is not a work written in the eulogistic vejn but a dispassionate treatment of a hard fought battle and decisive vic tory of the oppressed over the op pressor. ... No student of American labor history can afford to ignore this volume.” Dr. George S. Mitch ell, executive director of the South ern Regional Council in his review iff Social Forces for December, 1946, asserted that “This is as good a case history as is to be found of the de lays and obstruction which unwilling management can place in the way of self-organization of its employees.” In Sociology and Social Research, the July-August 1946 issue, Profes sor Melvin J. Vincent of the Univer sity of Southern California said “Filled as it is with significant and original research data, it may be read as a meritorious social science doc ument or with intriguing interest for its story value—a story of the con flict induced by racial prejudice.” Fi nally, in Phylon for the second quar ter of 1946, Dr. Ira De A. Reid, its editor, and professor of Sociology in Atlanta University said: “The au thor has handled these many-faceted materials with scholarly exactness and has created therefrom a signifi cant history of a brilliant achieve ment in labor organization.” Morehouse Enrolls 30 At Mid-Term New registrations for the second semester total approximately thirty, the Registrar Office announced re cently. Enrollment figures for the second semester are almost the same as for the first except for a slight increase in the number of veterans attending the institution, the regis trar said. At present 823 students are en rolled at Morehouse. This figure as over against the prevailing figure in prewar 1940 shows a marked fluc tuation in enrollment. Of the thirty new students regis tered for the second semester, three- fourths are veterans. A geographical distribution of enrollment reveals the following. New York 1 Arkansas 2 Florida 6 Tennessee 3 Georgia 13 Alabama 4 Ohio 1 Indiana 1 Delaware 1 And from Lagos, Nigeria, W. Af rica hails H. A. Oluwasanmi. This makes a total of three students at tending the college from W. Africa. Romeo Horton comes from Liberia, W. Africa and Bryson U. Etukudo claims Nigeria, W. Africa as his na tive land.
