I anist. Miss Roper’s, strong person
ality was exemplified in her’ rendi
tion of “The Paradise and the Peri”
| (Moore). -“In Imminent PeriJ” and
“My Little Wild White Rose.” The
motif was widely contracting and-
showed the reader’s versatility of
mood. The reading most enjoyed
was Lafeadia Hearn’* “Soul of the
Great Bell.” In this number Miss
Roper showed strtngth of compre
hension and power to portray life’s
deepes moods. This program of
Miss Rooks was as follows: ,
Sonata, Op. 27, No. 2 (Adagio;
Allegretto)—Beethoven.
Witches’ Dance. Op. 17, No. 3—

This plan, which necessarily can
give but an inadequate idea of what
the university will be when it is com
pleted in all its details, !t yet suf
ficiently impressive to awaken the
enthusiasm of every citizen of. Ma

and balanced education, and in every

of historic Old Mercer University.
We shall not undertake here to
enter into details which are present
ed fully elsewhere, but we may at
jeast. express the hope that when
Mercer celebrates its centenary on
December 22, 1937, it may be indeed
an institution with a property value
of $3,000,000 and an endowment of
$7,000,000.
Efficiency in the teaching staff is
to be the watchword, now and-here
after. The number of ' professors
connected with Mercer has already
been increased from eighteen to thir
ty-six, and t|e salaries of the heads
of departments have been increased
64 per cent, while the budget for the
year is almost three times as large as
it Was five years ago. .

It was announced by the Mercer
Cauldron staff that only 200 books
were to be published-. Thi?" was
due to the fact than many books
were left over 1; st year. When the
subscriptions of the student body
had been turned in it was found that
a greater number than that alloted
had been subscribed. This will ne
cessitate an increased order, of
books; - .
The Cauldron, although costing
practically $1,000 more to publish
than heretofore, is -only going to
cost the Individual $2.75 a copy
whereas in previous years it, has cost
$3.00.

The advantage of such curriculum

course, in actual cost, receives more
than twice what he pays,
What Mercer means in the larger
sense is a matter of interest and pride
but it is as a Macon institution that
it has first claim upon the citizens
of Macon. On this subject Presi
dent Weaver recently said:
“Every educational institution “is
an integral part of the community in
which it exists. The city of Macon
and Mercer University are bound to
gether by indissoluble ties. The des
tiny of the City of Macon is linked
with the destiny of Mercer Univer
sity. Our success depends upon the
rapid growth, the undimmed pros
perity and the increasing wealth of
Macon. The. tendency of-all educa
tional institutions is to gather its
student constituency from a limited
area. Over half of the students of
Yale, of Harvard, of Columbia and
of Princeton come-within one hun
dred miles of the institution. From
the standpoint of geographical loca
tion, Mercer University has the lar
gest area.in which there is no rival
institution east, of the Mississippi
River; for one may draw a.circle one
hundred miles from Macon and it
will not include a single- college for
men
Mercer University gives to Macon
each' year $3,000.00-in scholarships,
for the .actual cost to Mercer Univer
sity in giving instruction to these Ma
con students exceeds $250,00 for-
each student. Mercer’" University
this year will expend with Macon be
tween $400,066,00 and $500,000.00.
Mercer University as a business en
terpr-is.e contributes much to the pros,
perity of Macon.
“Mercer University is jargely . de
pendent upon the "citizens of Macon.
Those who send therr sons away |
from Macon td be educated weaken j
Mercer University ' and cast serious,
reflection upon, its educational pro- j
duct. Those who are indifferent to -j
the success of Mercer University and !
make large gifts to other institutions]
are building up other centers at thej
expense of Macon. The present

ing Babies;” “The Importance of
Getting Your Name in the Regilious
Paper”; “How to Politic for a Pay
ing Pulpit—If Any”; * “Which Is
Better—To Rant Louder or to Quit
When the' Congregation Goes ~~ to
Sleep?” “Imitating Billy Sunday
and Why;” “How to Condescend to
Preachers Who Have 'Small Jobe’
“How- to Get on Boards and Com-
mitiees.”

dy”; Rabun’s “Gap to Tybee Light”;
