group the new additions to the Morehouse College Faculty, Messsrs.
Cottin, Pinckney, and Sledge, men of ideas, and Mrs. L. O. Lewis,
the Librarian. Mrs. Lewis, formerly Miss Emma Bryant, received her
A. B. from Spelman in 1909. She was an excellent student, highly
esteemed and dearly beloved by her schoolmates and friends.
Mr. Hardy Sledge who received his Bachelors' degree in the
spring from Morehouse was at one time captain of the basketball
team and was last year’s president of the Science and Mathematics
Club. He was an exemplary scientific student, possessing the stick-
to-it-iveness characteristic of scientists.
Mr. T. W. Pinckney, A. B. ’23 from Bates College in Massa
chusetts, was a member of the Bates “Student” Editorial Staff, the
Press Club, the Politics Club, and the Debating Council. He was a
yarsity Debater and won first prizes in the Junior and Senior Oratori

school that promotes freedom of thought and unhampered expres
sion, a school destined to take its place in the front ranks of Ameri
can institutions of learning.
