THE ATHENAEUM 13 Mr. John Hope, who had been a professor on the faculty since 1898, became president of More house College in 1906. Since that time he has devoted his entire time to young people. Under the present administra tion the school has grown by leaps and bounds. It now receives high recognition at the best American universities. One of the latest im provements about the College is the installation of the hour period and six day schedule which Presi dent Hope sponsored. DR. JOHN HOPE Fourth President of Morehouse. ALMA MATER SETS PACE TT’OR more than twenty-five years our great College, and to you who have left her sacred, inspirational walls-your beloved Alma Mater, has rightly merited the unique renown as the constant pace setter for material progressiveness. Indeed, our pen might be drawn over countless pages in an effort to enumerate the material improvements wrought in the above mentioned span of time. Beloved Alumni, we are very happy to proclaim to you that our efficient and untiring President has not allowed his mind to rest with passive content as he with proud meekness viewed the work of his own hands. He has ever been watchful for such improvements as would raise the standard of our College. This year he has given us a six day school—perhaps the greatest improvement of all. The Athenaeum Publishing Company, representing the student body, wishes to here and now extend its thanks to our President and his willing and far-sighted co-workers. On the part of the President it shows an ever increasing interest in humanity which must in time be affected by the character of leadership sponsored by the college youth of today. On the part of his loyal co-workers it shows not only an untiring interest in the college but a deep-seated interest in the work. ~We congratulate ourselves upon having such loyal teachers.
