THE ATHENAEUM 75 The Y. M. C. A. Cabinets of the different school of the city will have a similiar meeting and the “Y” cabinet of Morehouse decided to use every influence to have the Secretary, Prof. W. C. Craver, ob tain permission so that the young ladies of the different Y. W- C. A. Cabinets may attend. The “Y” at Morehouse is launching a new drive in order to meet the pledge to the Foreign Mission board. Mr. B. Brazile Eatmon, President, is putting forth his every effort to make the influence of the “Y” felt by students. The “Y” is to be thanked for being instrumental in having Mr. Glen Harding of Chicago University, Chairman of Southern wing of the Student Fellowship Movement for Christian Service, visit and talk to us. THE SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS CLUB On the night of November 18, the Science and Mathematics Club held its first well rounded form of initiation- Those who were initiat ed will admit that it was creditably done. We are sure that they now appreciate Science more tha.i ever. Those initiated into the club were: Messrs. T. H. Burris, E. M. Griggs, T. P. Dooley, R- Dezon, W. D. Morman, A. W. Childs, L. C. Lagard, R. Carey, W. B. Scott, and J. W. Carten. Quite an imposing list of young men is it not? They are the sort of men who will quickly fall in line and help carry forward the ideals that the Science and Mathematics Club stands for. Our program fop the year is slowly unfolding itself- After the holidays we will enter into it with renewed zest. On December 2, we opened the meeting with rather ‘‘newsy” current events pertaining to Science- Mr. J. W. Lawlah spoke on the value of Mathematics. Prof. Pinckney spoke about the value of mathematics in science. Both of these discourses will long be remembered. We then had a general discussion. This is the part which we all enjoy ; during these moments if there be a question in the mind of anyone he may ask it with assurance that he will be enlightened thereupon for in our membership there are competent men who have specialized in the various branches- From time to time the club obtains able outside speakers, who speak to us along; the lines in which they have specialized. We are not selfish with these speakers, for that reason, on those occassions we generally have open meetings; that is, we invite the whole student body. We post these occassion as they occur. —W. Clyde Allen, ’26-
