112 THE ATHENAEUM chapel but the spirit seems to be lagging. We suggest that they should appoint a member to act as their reporter so that this news can be given to the club editor. There have been several attempts to organize a student branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Morehouse’s Campus. The most recent attempt seemed to arouse the students to action and quite a number of students paid part of the students yearly fee and pledges stere made by some others. Prof. E. Franklin Frazier of the Atlanta School of Social Service and formerly of Morehouse’s faculty made the appeal, showing the dire need of such a national organization and the good it is accom plishing for the colored people not only of the United States but of the entire world. He insisted that we become an integral part, by vir- ture of membership, so that we could do our share. Our share can not possibly at present be the rendering of any financial aid but we can have meetings in which we can bring to the “ideal conscious fore” the problems and injustices which are corn- fronting us, as a race, daily. Consequently we will become intellect ually conversent and will know better how to face the intricate pro blems when we get ready to make our way in the hostile world- We can also participate more effectively in the Inter-racial meetings and Student Councils because of the knowledge gained in such meetings. A lack of information and statistics in Inter-racial and Student Coun cils might be very, very detrimental to our local and national prosper ity. Therefore let us all rally to the call and join in and make the branch at Morehouse the ideal Student N. A. A. C. P. Branch. SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS January 6, was the first meeting of the Science and Mathematics Club for 1925- Everyone was seemingly refreshed by the holidays and imbued with greater vigor to “carry on”—as President Hope would say. The meeting opened with a goodly number present. Everyone is now thinking of the approaching examinations. In our meeting of the 6, we decided to postpone our next meeting until after examination. That is, instead of occuring on the 20, it will occur on the 27. It is interesting to note that there are many A men in the Science and Mathematics Club. And all of the members of the club are pass ing in one hundred per cent of their work. The club has an efficient system of collecting fines for absences on meeting nights; that is, we presume it is efficient, for the members are so interested in the club that they do not give us a chance for collecting fines. Our program committee is now working on the year’s program. In the near future it will be published on the bulletin board.
