THE ATHENEUM
41
So come on boys—let’s brace up and bring back that old More
house spirit. It was good enough for Gayles and Harris and Hope
and all that vast host of Departed heroes—surely it’s good enough
for us. Let’s show the team we’re with them to the last notch, and in
“defeat or victory”—let’s “be loyal just the same.”

THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS CLUB
The'Science and Mathematics Club is now in full swing for an
other year’s wonderful work. Since the founding of the club on
Morehouse College campus several years ago, the college has not had
cause to regret its being founded. Rather Morehouse College is
proud of the fact that such an organization had its origin on its
campus, for it stands for ideals that any college or university may
well be proud of.
At the last meeting of the club, our program committee gave us
the outline of the program that we intend to go by during the rest of
the scholastic year. Among other things to be done, we will visit
the various manufacturing plants and witness the processes involved
in the making of products by the producer for the consumer.
From time to time we will have able speakers to address us.
These meetings will be open to all who wish to come. A notice
will be given in regard to these meetings.
We have a fine list of applicants. They are all strong scientific
men, who are fully able to join in and help us carry the great work
of the Science and Mathematics Club forward. Their names will be
published in the next issue of the Athenaeum. Day by day in every
way the club is getting stronger and stronger.

next morning) Second; to bring before the members the immense
program that the American Federation of Negro Students are attempt

Youth Movement is to be throw into one big channel, the result of
which is to procure one thousand economic scholarships worth $150.00
each. Nothing less than economic freedom for the Negro Race is
seen as the result of this huge campaign,—what way can the Negro
