6 THE ATHENAEUM year’s senior class snatched away sorroe of the school’s best musicians, the Glee Club and Orchestra have refilled these vacancies from a large supply of new talent and from a small group of old students whose powers are only now being revealed. In every section of the Or chestra, from first violin to tympani and percussion, new members have been added. Prof. Kemfper Harreld, the director of music, assures the organ izations that the “newness” will not seriously affect the production of good music this year. With R. E. Brown, ’25, and D. D. Crawford, ’25, as managers, an extensive tour of the states that will excel all past records is an ticipated. The following officers will serve for the 23-24 term: E. S. Grant ’25, Pres.; W. B. Scott, ’26, Vice-Pres.; J. E. Hutchinson, '26, Sec.; Herbert King, '27, Treas.; W. C. Malcolm, '25, Librarian. —W. B. Scott, ’26. WELCOME! l?OR continued activity and healthful growth every institution must * draw upon the resources of the world without for money, men, and ideas. Our hearts swell with pride as we welcome into our social 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 cal contests. Mr. J. R. Cottin, A. B. '22, A. M. ’23 from the University of Mich igan, was a charter member of the Monon Club, a director in the Men’s Educational Club, a member of the University Choral Union and also of the Michigan University Advisory Board for Freshmen. Such individuals will assuredly contribute to the development of well rounded men at Morehouse. Again we welcome you to a col lege noted for the grade of men who go forth from its portals, a 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. —T.
