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.
