Morehouse Students Deliver Eulogy
At Hope-Archer Memorial Services
Students Score
Success Of Loan
Association Here
By McCLURE P. McCOOMBS
The operation of the Business and
Law Club Loan Association on the
Morehouse College campus has prov
en successful. As an experimental
project, it was launched by the Bus
iness and Law Club to aid students
with financial problems.
Organized in November, 1947, the
organization has been functioning
continuously in trying to help as
many students as possible to solve
their financial worries. Only on a few
occasions has the organization been
unable to meet the need of a stu
dent, and on these occasions the or
ganization made arrangements for
the students to secure a loan else
where. Since all realize the fact that
the organization cannot and does not
compete with large financial concerns
because of financial limitations, no
ill feelings are developed when the
organization is unable to accommo
date a student.
Over fifty students have received
loans from this organization consist
ing of sums ranging from 50c to
$32.00. The organization holds to its
policy of loans up to $32.00.
LOAN POLICY
Loans have been made to students
to pay board bill, expense of emer
gency trips, library fines, and even
for hair cuts and other incidental
items. The loan association is defi
nitely against the policy of lending
money to pay gambling debts or to
lend money for gambling purposes;
therefore, any man suspected of par
ticipating in gambling games is re
fused a loan.
It is the hope of the organization
that investments in the association
by members of the Business and Law
Club will increase in order to make
it possible to meet more loans. To
be able to help a fellow student
gives the organization a feeling of
usefulness.
POLLS OPINIONS
Interested in finding out the opin
ion held by students on the campus,
I approached several students with
“What do you think of the Business
and Law Club Loan Association?”
The replies were thus:
C. MONTGOMERY MILLER—“The
loan association is quite an asset to
the average student who finds it dif
ficult to maintain financial stability
from one pay period to another. Let’s
not abuse it.”
OLIVER BLAKELY—“Fine! Sure
has helped the ‘ole’ boy.”
THOMAS SIMS—“It is better to
have it and not need it, than to need
it and not have it. I think the loan
association is quite a unique organ
ization.”
ELISHA PASCHAL, JR. — “I
think the Business and Law Club
Loan Association is a very good
movement for the students of More
house and it shows that we have
some students who are thinking pro
gressively.”
AILUE O. GUNTER—“The effi
ciently operated Business and Law
Club Loan Association solves many
financial problems for the Students.”
The slogan of the association is
“Your financial problem is ours;
your honesty is your own.”

Annual memorial exercises in
tribute to two former Morehouse
presidents, Dr. John Hope and Dr.
Samuel Howard Archer, were con
ducted by the students on Friday.
Dr. Hope, whose administration be
gan in 1906 and ended in 1931, ^died
on February 20, 1936. At the helm
of Morehouse for seven years, 1931-
1938, Dr. Archer gave 33 years of
his life to Morehouse as professor of
mathematics, dean, football coach,
business manager, purchasing agent,
director of the summer school, act
ing president and president. He died
on January 15, 1941.
The memorial exercises were held
at the 9:00 o’clock chapel hour in
Sale Hall Chapel under the sponsor
ship of the senior class. Rufus Hill,
of Atlanta, speaking on the life of
Dr. Hope, stated that “No worthy
institution was ever founded and ex
tended without the work and inspira
tion of great men.” Calling attention
to the international fame achieved
by Dr. Hope, he declared that the
former president, from a nondescript
beginning, attained distinction not
only in the educational world, but
in YMCA work, interracial pro
grams, the NAACP, the National
Urban League, in boys’ work, in pub
lic housing, and in adult education.
At Morehouse, Mr. Hill informed his
listeners, Dr. Hope began his ad
ministration as president in a strug
gling college without endowment and
with a teaching budget of $7,000.
Yet, in the 25 years to follow, he in
creased the teaching budget to $50,-
000 and built up an endowment of
$600,000.
In referring to the life of Dr.
Archer, Robert James of Birming
ham, Ala., stated that much of the
history of Morehouse College is the
biography of Dr. Archer. He warned

the students to remember the things
that Dr. Archer taught and the things
that were exemplified by his life. Al
though he was offered the presidency
of Roger Williams University, Dr.
Archer chose to serve at Morehouse
College, James stated.
Charles V. Willie, of Dallas, Tex
as, presided; and Samuel D. Cook
read the Scriptures and offered the
Prayer. Music was offered by the
Morehouse Quartet.
At services at the grave of Dr.
