THE ATHENAEUM
Mr. S. H. Archer, who had been
professor of Mathematics at More
house since 1900, became Dean of
the College in 1920.
Dean Archer has always been a
favorite of the student body. His
unusual fund of wit and humor
keeps his classes both interesting
and popular. He is the Morehouse
type of a Christian gentleman and
is greatly beloved by the boys be
cause of his intense sympathy and
big hearted spirit of helpfulness.
Samuel Howard Archer, A. B.
Dean of Morehouse
BE MEN
A few days ago, we, the Senior College Class of Morehouse
College, enjoyed one of the best and most inspiring talks of our
college career. Dean S. H. Archer, our ^worthy counselor and f riend
addressed us as friend to friends. It is a rare privilege for us as
students to be associated with professors so rich in experience; who
are willing to lay aside their spectacles of dignity and authority, and
out of the fullness of their heart commune with us, and make us the
recipients of such inspiring lectures. We, as young college men, must
soon take our places in a busy world with its bustling industrial civil
ization. Our outlook upon life must be enlarged. We must think on
world problems.
Dean Archer urged every man to stand up and face the world. Be
Men! The crowning point of undergraduate scholastic achievement
is to be found in the Senior year. New ideas should be presented for
the betterment of the Collgee. Our voice should be spoken loudly and
firmly when preceded by fertile and rational thought. We should
first of all respect ourselves, and then demand the respect of the men
we come in contact with daily.
Let every man pledge his continued allegiance and promise to co
operate by ever taking the lead in upholding the standards and ideals
of the College.
