THE ATHENAEUM 49 % Department of the Institution | By Prof. T. J. Curry R ECENTLY the faculty of Morehouse College voted to lengthen the recitation periods froni forty-five to fifty minutes. It is the desire of the college to have nothing less than hour periods. Great efforts are being put forth to get a first class rating in the big north ern universities. A short while ago she was placed in the A. class by the Medical Association. The efficient Science Department played a large part in raising the college to that standard. Already the graduates are being admitted to the graduate schools of the best universities of the country. It is indeed gratifying to every Morehouse man to note the remarkable growth of the college during the last fifteen years. The highest aim of the institution is to educate youths so that they may cope successfully with the social economical and spiritual problems of the day. M. C. H. Tobias, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., addressed the student body a few days ago. He pointed out the fact that in schools m;ost of the mien enter some kind of business while very few enter the ministry. He made a very forcible appeal to the young men to the effect that, whatever work they enter they approach it unselfishly. The following representatives from the General Euducational Board were on the Campus recently: Dr. Buttrick, President of the General Educational Board; Dr. Sage, Secretary of the General Board; Mr. Trevor Arnett and Mr. Thorkelson, also representatives of the Board. The college is always glad to have such a busy set of men to come around. Rev. Jackson , a graduate of the school and now working with the missionary convention of Georgia, was a visitor at morning chapel on November 2.
