58 THE ATHENAEUM ■ mi tt in itt-t-t ■ ■ ***** 1 »********♦♦**♦«**«■ wt *♦♦♦♦♦♦ f • ■ 4 £ THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS CLUB By Hardy Sledge, ’23. T HE world owes much to the research chemist Who, with never-tiring efforts and an ever-scrutinizing eye, spends many sleepless hours watching for the most m'inute change in the ntatter in experiment before him. On Wednesday evening, December 6, the Science and Mathem atics Club of Morehouse was highly favored by the lecture of Mr. G. W. Carver, Head of the Research Department of Tuskegee. Mr. Carver, in a very informal manner, spoke on the requisites for a student’s success in research work. He stated that the first import ant task is to decide that you are going to make a definite contribu tion along somfe particular line; and, having made this decision, he stated that you m ust then learn the truth about tbat with Y ou are to work. Besides these two important requisites, you m|ust have the will to concentrate, the power to observe, and the aesthetic senses of an artist. Thoroughness and accuracy are also very vital, for you may realize some change; and because of incorrect tabulations and lack of thoroughness, the work would be a failure. Mr. Carver’s address enabled many of the members and visitors to measure their abilities and to decide whether their ambitions as scientists were secure and feasible. To those of slight scientific abil ity it also acted as a very helpful stimulus to more diligent work, that the race might not boast of one or two prominent scientists, but of many. THE COLLEGE DEBATING SOCIETY By J. M. Nabrit, Jr., ’23. T HE Chi Delta Sigm'a has long been a fruitful source of Morehouse’s debaters and much is expected of it this year. Preparations must now be speedily made for the election of officers and for the January preliminaries for the varsity debating team. Messrs. J. M. Nabrit, Jr. and W. K. Payne are left from last year’s varsity team, and Messrs. G. T. Perry and H. W. Thurman, Who were the alternates of last year’s team, still remain here. The institution is seething with numerous other prospective candidates for the honor of perpetuating Morehouse’s string of consecutive victories for the past four years. ATTENTION!
