132 THE ATHENAEUM the Inter-national Committee of the Y. M. C. A. an office since held by such men as J. E. Moreland and C. H. Tobias. Mr. Hunton achiev ed his best work in the building of character in the young men who came under the sway of the influence of his own highly spiritual, strong and beautiful charactor. To him is largely due the honor of the development of ‘Y’ work among Colored youths He was exceed ingly active in this his chosen field, having been a delegate to the Jubilee Convention held at London and to the Worlds Student Fed eration held in Tokio. For these things Eta asked the convention to worship for an hour at his grave. At the public meeting Emory B. Smith spoke on "The Crucible." He likened the conditions which the Negro of today is meeting to the fires of the crucible of industry which remove the dross and leave the refined gold therein.

The convention became history with close of the banquet after Detroit had been chosen as the next place of meeting for the fraternity. —C. W. Sellers, *25.

I imagine that on these beautiful Spring looking days your very soul hungers for a hard fought game with Morehouse on the winning side. To show and to keep in harmony with the Morehouse spirit it will be your desire to sing; “We have the t-e-a-m team on which the hopes of Morehouse lean,” I am thinking now that it is perfectly ade quate to consider this in another view. It is the general sentiment among the older students that never in the annals of history has Morehouse witnesses such prospects for a baseball team as for '25. In order to give you facts so as to sustain their statements, I shall point out to you with pleasure such men as Lockhart of Talladega College, who was ace mound hurler for the
