THE ATHENAEUM 57 that we may see, feel, and love one another together. We want you to see what wonderful progress we have made in the past few years. We want you to see our beautiful grand stand that many of you have wished, for and we want you to enjoy some sweet re frains by our Quartette, Glee Club, and Orchestra. Come and set your watch by the new sun dial and see how we march to our classes hv the time direct from the nation’s Capitol. Come and see our modern facilities and latest equipment about the college campus. We want to show you also what a tremendous amount of “pep” we have as young collegians as we go about the campus daily in our effort to achieve something noble. Another big reason why I urge' every Morehouse man to be present is because of a great tradition that arises in our minds. As we peruse the pages of ancient history, we find that almost a quarter of a century has elapsed since we have suffered defeat by A. U. on a football field. When we think of how men like Hubert, Brock, Warren, Harris, Richardson, Gentry, Gayles, McKinney and others, some of whom lie silent in their grave and some yet combating amid the obstacles, thorns and thistles of life, I say when we think of how they fought on both muddy and bloody fields to keep and preserve the sacred traditions from being trampled upon by the mighty on- rushing fury of Atlanta University year by year, we cannot help but feel it our indispensable duty to keep up the old tradition and pass it on to the future generations yet sleeping in their, mothers womb who, we believe beyond all shadow of doubt, will arise and attack the ancient rivals with the same indomitable courage and conquer ing power with which they have always been attacked, and forever keep them tied to the chariot wheels of time, dragging them thru streets of defeat as did Scipio on the occasion when he met the Carthagenians. Another big reason is that we want you to see our team in action. For indeed we have the best team in the history of Morehouse’s career in football. We do not stop to regret the defeats of the present season, but look forward with joyous anticipation, letting the past serve only as a beacon to warn us of the coming danger. We assure you that it will be worth your time and money to see our team in action for it is composed of eleven fighters who never get enough beside thirty-two reserves on the bench who also have sworn in their hearts that A. U. will have to walk over their dead bodies with the bacon in order to get home with it. And I might here state that we are backed up and urged on by a faculty and student body comppsed of 500 red blooded men who on that glorious day will be bedieCKfe1d' / i<V r Maroon and White and arrayed in a mighty phalanx along the^iife line to witness the licking that A. U. luckily escaped' for the past two years and at the same time enjoys the presence of each other. Awake! Ye Alumni! Are you with us? Do you still love and cherish! those traditions for which you yourselves fought, bled, and died? Do you still feel a thrill when you hear that name Morehouse
