ALLEN CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR LEAGUE
“The old order changeth,
yielding place to new.”
The school year is new, the
league officers are new, the
student body is partly new;
let our religious spirit be new.
The officers of the League are
sparing no effort to make the
meetings as interesting as
possible. The student body
has been divided into groups,
and at each meeting, one of
these groups will lead the af
ternoon’s discussion. T'h e
competitive nature of these
discussions should be an in
centive to higher achieve
ments.
A program will be present
ed at every meeting. “City
students” are especially invit
ed to attend the League. One
must realize that he is en
titled to the sp.ritual as well
as the educational benefits to
be derived from Morris
Brown.
I HILOSOPHIAN SOCIETY
It was on a Thursday after
noon in the midst of a sump
tuous repast at the home of
our beloved tutor, philosoph
er, and friend, Dean C. L. Hill
that an idea was introduced.
With this master stroke the
Dean also proved himself a
master psychologist for he
perceived that the best time
to introduce ideas—hence the
success of past speeches.
What the human mind will
not do and say and to what it
will not argue after such a
pleasant meal as that one is
but a matter of conjecture.
It was under such a condi
tion that our Philosophian
Society came into existence.
We presented a program in
the chapel which was well re
ceived.
This year we have lost the
presence—the presence I re
peat, of our patron Dean C.
L. Hill, but his influence con
tinues to direct us. His “lo
cum tenens” is our own Pro
fessor J. R. Coan, himself a
psychologist, philosopher, and
remarkable figure. We have
also lost one of our number,
Miss Eva (Anascomanader)
Jones. The good wishes of
our society goes with her. We
uates and four undergradu-
have in our ranks four grad
ates. Our first public meeting
was held Thursday last, at
which Mr. Ezra (Democritus)
Murdock in an able manner
delivered a paper on “Love”.
After this paper there was a
heated discussion on the sub
ject. ‘“The Public will be in
vited to our meetings from
t me to time.”
Sauve est, inter nos inter-
ratioinari.
“It is sweet to reason a-
mong ourselves” is our mot
to.
Self reverence, self know
ledge, self control; these three
done lend life to soverign
rower.

GREETINGS FROM THE

The Theological Depart

of Morris Brown College
greetings.
As a unit of this institution
we are striving to make a
greater department. During
the absence of Dean Charles
L. Hill (who is at Ohio State
University) we are moving
on successfully under the di
rection of Professors Coan
and Fobbs. A number of new
courses have been offered
this year, in order to prepare
the Ministers for better work.
Among them are Hymnology,
Old Testament literature, and

not had a chance to develop
themselves in that field.
The Seminary is wishing
Dean Hill a successful year
in his studies at the Univer
