Dr. Andrew Sledd was born in Lynchburg, Va., on November 7, 1870. He received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Randolph-Macon College in 1894, and during the follow- ing year he was instructor in Randolph-Macon Academy. In 1896 he received his A.M. degree from Harvard University. From 1898 to 1902 he held the chair of Latin in Em- ory Collegs, and in 1903 he received his Ph.D. degree from Yale University. Since that time he has been actively engaged in educational work, and has filled important posi- tions in the educational field. He was President of the University of Florida from 1904 to 1909, and was elected President of the Southern University in 1910. He is rec- ognized as one of the leading educators in the South, and is noted for his powerful mind and master intellect. C. P. . TK1NS0N. A.M., PiiD., D.D. Dr. C. P. Atkinson was born at Newton, Ala., on August 31, 1867. At the age of twenty-one he took his B.S. degree at Southern University, and two years later received his A.M. degree from the same institution. In 1910 he received his Ph.D. degree from Illinois Wesleyan University, and in the same year the Southern University conferred upon him the degree of D.D. Prior to this time, in 1904, he had been elected as Pro- fessor of Philosophy at Southern University, which chair he has filled since that time. He has become intimately connected with the life of the college, and his influence reaches the life of every student who enters this institution. P. E. CHAPMAN, A.B., AM. In Professor Chapman we have an instructor in Mathematics against whose ability and natural tact in winning a boy ' s heart to his subject there is not a voice to be raised. In- deed, his influence over the student body is wonderful. Although we often complain of the stiffness of a test, the length of a lesson, or the like, yet there is something that binds us closer and closer in our affections for Professor Chapman, He is exact- ing, but reasonable; unrelenting, but lovable and kind; businesslike, but highly pleas- ant and encouraging. Professor Chapman was born in Grove Hill, Ala., on August 9, 1879; received his A.B. degree from Southern University in 1902 and his M.A. degree at Vanderbilt University in 1907. The same year he was made Professor of Mathematics at Southern University, and has held this position ever since. Every student who fin- ishes the Math, course is impressed by the unfailing success with which Professor Chap- man demonstrates through every student his favorite maxim, which runs: The weak- est of us has a gift. ARTHUR BONNER, A.B., S.T.B., A.M.. Ph.D. Dr. Arthur Bonner was born on November 29, lSti9, near Leicester, England. In 1909 he received the degrees ot A.B. and S.T.D. from Boston University. In 1910 he re- ceived his A.M ' . degree and in 1911 his T h.D. degree from the same institution. He was elected Professor of English of Southern University in 1912. While he was doing his graduate work, he was pastor of important churches in Greater Boston, and also in Lowell, Mass. His experience and high standard of scholarship make him especially suited for his present work. Although he has been at Southern LTniversity a short time, still he has won the love of every student, and is considere d one of the best friends which the boys have. His gentle manner, his unselfish disposition, his warm greeting, and his manifold courtesies hind him to the students with ties unbreakable. Truly can it be said of him: To know him is to love him. T. H. .lACK, A.M. Prof. T. H. Jack was born at Bellevue, Ala., on December 30, 1881. He received hi? A.B. degree from the University of Alabama in 1902 and his A.M. degree the following year. In 1908 he received his A.M. degree from Harvard University. The following year he was elected Alumni Professor of History of Southern University, and has since served in that capacity. He is a master of his subject, and is endowed with a gift of teaching that few people possess. His unique way of presenting facts has won for him the most ardent admirers in the department of History and Economics. To love His- tory is to love Professor .lack, and to hate History is almost to dislike the teacher of the subject, for he is History from head to foot. However, it is beyond the power of the writer to conceive how any one could fail to love History when studying it under Professor .Tack. J. C. GODBEY, A.B., A.M. Prof. J. C. Godbey was born in Monroe County, Mo., on July 4. 1882. In 1904 he re- ceived his A.B. degree from Central College, and in 1905 his A.M. degree from the same institution. Prom 1905 to 190S he was Superintendent of Schools of Missouri. The next two years he did graduate work at the Missouri State University, and then was elected Superintendent and Supervisor of his Alma Mater. In 1911-12 he did graduate work at the University of Leipzig, and spent some time in traveling in Germany. He was elected Professor of Natural Sciences at Central College in 1912, and in 1913 he w-as called to the same chair in Southern University. He is a cultured, refined, and pol- ished man In every respect. He has added new life and vigor to the student body be- cause of his personal interest in athletics, Glee Club, and Natural Sciences. He is a friend to the boys, and has never tailed to win the most sincere devotion and utmost respect from them. S. C. STEINBRENNER, A.B., A.M. Prof. S. C. Steinbrenner was born on December 29, 1877, at Heimsheim, Germany. His early education was secured at the schools of Zurich and the college of Montreux of French-Switzerland. He then came to the United States, where he received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Charles City College, and graduated from the Theological Semi- nary at Frankfort on the Main. On returning to Europe, he further pursued his studies in France, Germany, and Italy, and at the college of Strassburg. He then occupied the chair of Modern Languages at Saaibrucken and Metz Military College successively. In 1905 he again came to America, and occupied the chair of French and German at Charles City College for six years. In 1913 he was called to the chair of Modern Languages at Southern University. Professor Steinbrenner, because of his wise experience and exten- sive travels, is a most competent instructor, and is a master ot the French, Spanish, Ger- man, English, and Italian languages. He is a true and sympathetic friend to all the boys, and takes a keen interest in all college activities. SOUTHRON STAFF C. A. Haskew . . Editor in Chief F. H.

LtJ 111-; Alumni Association of Soutliern University was incorporated under tlie laws of Alabama in 1907, witli tlie following trustees; T. E. Knight, H. Trawick, E. W. Berry, C. P. Atkinson, and R. F. Monette. Up to tlie time of incorporation tlie society of alumni liad adopted no clear- cut, definite program of action for accomplishing material results in the way of endow- ment or physical equipment of the college. In order to have a definite goal to work to- ward, the idea of endowing an alumni chair of History was conceived. This movement was inaugurated about eight years ago, and since tliat time lias served as a more effective means of rallying the interest of the alumni and stimulating a spirit of cooperation and loyalty among them than any other agency. For the purposs of raising the proposed endowment funds the following committee was appointed: D. P. Christenberry, F. M. Peterson, L. P. Gidden, A. L. Andrews, E. A. Dannelly, E. L. Craw- ford, and E. K. Turner. As a result of the energetic efforts of this committee, over ?4,000 has been collected on the proposed amount of $25,000, though considerably more has been subscribed. It is fitting to mention just here the indefatigable energy displayed by the late Prof. D. P. Christenberry in connection with this work. His interest never wavered to the day of his death. Aside from his efforts in behalf of the alumni chair of History, one of his most valuable contributions to the life of the institution was the semicentennial history of Southern University, which will ever remain as an enduring monument to his unselfish devotion and loyalty to his Alma Mater. On page 102 of the history Professor Christenberry writes; The object of the society of alumni is to unile the graduates in a common bond of fellowship and to foster their love for their Alma Mater and their interest in her welfare. Unfortunately, this worthy object, of the society has not been keenly recognized by all of the graduates of Southern University. In fact, a spirit of apathy and indifference has, in the past, characterized a large part of the body of alumni. Enthusiasm for our Alma Mater has been displayed by us as individuals, but not as a strong, united body, working with forceful purpose for a common end. Certainly no institution in the State deserves loyal support from its alumni more than old Southern University. No college can boast of a more honorable roll of graduates. They have gone out from the college as radiating lines of infiuence, not bounded by State or sectional lines, but affecting the larger affairs of the nation. This influence can never die; but, as loyal sons, we should see to it that the powers of our common mother for spreading unchecked her beneficent influence shall be enlarged, not curtailed or hampered. In the first glow of exultation on graduation day, how warm our devotion to the old college seems to be! The memory of joys and sorrows shared together in her halls and classrooms, of friendships formed to last, is still fresh. We are ready to pledge undying loyalty and promise unstinted service to our dear old Alma Mater. But through the gathering years, how strangely cool that devotion becomes too often 1 How- easily for- gotten the promises we once made in good faitlil Let us, then, who know the great past of Southern University, and who call ourselves her loyal sons, make possible for her a still greater future.

And started out to drain our cup Of all the sweets that come our way, Full well our parts we hope to play. The visions of a life mature That each one holds are grand, I ' m sure; And with our dips. and knowledge both, To stem the tide we are nothing loath. Alone and singly, all but two Have prospects now to dare and do; But each one in his mind can see Some great affinity to be. ' Way down within each heart you ' ll find A little work by fate designed, And filled with pictures br ight and fair. In which two lives must always share. This double life each youthful mind Imagines he or she will find; In ideal manner build a cot. And have a romance for his lot. These things adjust themselves, you know, And all along bri,ght haloes throw. Till Cupid ' s arrow, worn and dull. Brings late in life a peaceful lull. Then there ' s a part no one can shirk. Along some line of honest work Each one his caliber must prove In this world and in that above.

After they had contemplated with open-mouthed awe the great men who composed the upper classes and had discovered that each class of these men was organized, they decided that it wa s the proper thing for them to do likewise. So after many avowals of ignorance about how to proceed, they finally met. with many misgivings, in the Belles-Lettres Hall. Here, after much reading of Rob- erts ' Rules of Order and of parliamentary law, they managed to select a corps of officers and to set in motion machinery for the drafting of a constitution and by-laws. But, in spite of the fact that they were inexperienced, they immediately applied them- selves to the task set before them. Soon it was shown that among those who composed our class there was much genuine brain power, mixed with an earnestness to compete with the upper classmen for the highest honors. At the end of the year we came in for a goodly share of the medals to be awarded for excellence in different lines of work, and had established our record as a class to be feared in the future races for distinction. Since then there has been some loss in numbers, as is the case with all classes; but there have also been a few additions. When we came together for our last year ' s work in the fall of 1913, there were fifteen still in the line of battle, three of whom were coeds. Each year has brought new rewards for labor and has succeeded in strengthening the foundation of each one ' s character. As we count up the honors and achievements of the past three years and anticipate those certain to be added at the end of the present one, we proudly present to you a record unsurpassed by any class that has gone before. and lay down a challenge to those that are to follow. After June 3 we shall launch out into the world, each to pursue his chosen work. If that earnestness of purpose and strength of character which characterized each one dur- ing his course- in this institution is maintained, we predict for the Class of 1914 a glo- rious success, which is the reward of all virtue. Whether we shall be in the sunshine of prosperity or the shadows of adversity, we will always hold as most sacred our asso- ciations at Southern University. A DRAMA OF THE FUTURE OF THE CLASS OF 1914 Scene: A cavern. In the niidclle a boiling cauldron. Tluuuler. I ■; ' ■ ■ Tlin;: ]Vitrhi-s. Fins I Win 11 — Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed. Second Witch — Thrice and once the liedgepig whined. Third Witch — Harpier cries; ' tis time, ' tis time. FiKST Witch — Round about the cauldron go; Some one a mystery will know. Ai.L — Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. I Enter Hecate.] Hec. te — O. well done! I commend your pains, And every one shall share i ' the gains; And now about the cauldron sing, Like elves and fairies in a ring. Enchanting all that you put in. IMusii- and a Song.] Seco.xd Witch — By the pricking of my thumb. Some one unknown does this way come. Open, locks, W ' hoever knocks! [ enter.] O. with what frightful awe I entered this place, the haunt of the weird sisters! Could you but know the weirdness, yet the fascination, of it all! There before those secret, black, and midnight hags. I felt as though I could hardly stand, but would surely give way to horror and fright. But, determined to have the future revealed, I glided forward toward these posters of the sea and land and bravely spoke: I conjure you, by that which you profess, Howe ' er you come to know it, make answer To what I ask you. FntsT Witch — Speak. Second Witch — Demand. Third Witch — We ' ll answer. It is the future of my classmates that I seek. If you can, O draw back the curtain of time and sliow me tlie yet unfulfilled life of my comrades. While I yet speak, I see the cauldron begins to boil furiously. A bubble rises. But look! Where is it now? In its place I see a magnificent court room, with court in ses- sion. Is it — ah, yes! It is the Supreme Court of the United States. In my wonder and excitement, I eagerly gaze forward to see if any faces are familiar. The judge is very striking in his long robe. Just now he looks my way, and — Can it be? Is it possible that this judge, in all his dignity and majesty, is no other than my former class- mate, Frank Peterson? The bubble bursts, and I am thinking of how impatiently Peterson awaited his grad- uating day, longing to appear dignified and supreme in his cap and gown, when sud- denly I am awakened from my reverie by the din and clatter of a busy little city. I look up and see before me a familiar street of my home town. One group of young peo- pie, who are very much interested in conversation, especially attracts me. 1 approach, and find that they are discussing some famous musician who has just returned home. There seems to be a wedding connected with it, too. I am wondering whom it all can be about, when one young man gayly exclaims: May she and ' Dick ' live long and hap- pily! Then nothing more is needed for me to know that this great musician is the Edna Williams of other days. Another bubble rises, and this time I see a pretty little spot in Korea where a num- ber of the natives are gathered. And in the midst of them I recognize at first sight Ed- ward Tate, who is preaching the gospel and teaching them the truth. How much in keeping with his boyhood days this is! The next scene shows me a lawyer before the bar eloquently pleading a case which requires the attention of the greatest attorneys in the world. On looking closer, I see that this great lawyer is the President of the Class of 1914, C. A. Haskew. My! Whence all that merry laughter? Is it possible that such weird creatures as these can laugh like that? Ah, no! It is not the witches at all, for I see before me a happy family gathered together in a comfortable sitting room. The man is reading from one of the leading New York magazines, and all seem to be enjoying it immensely, as there comes almost one continued peal of laughter from them. I am anxious to know what is causing so much jolly merriment; and as I draw near and look over his shoul- der to see what it is lie is reading, I see that he has the magazine open at the joke de- partment. I glance up at the top of the page and see written in bold type: E. A. Allen, .loke Editor. This explains all. How it reminded me of old school days, when Allen always kept everybody laughing and was considered a sure cure for the blues! The cauldron boils madly now, and from the steam is reflected the interior of a mag- nificent church in which is gathered a great congregation. They are all held spell- bound by the wonderful words of the preacher, whom I recognize as W. M. Pickard. The scene fades, and in its place appears a quiet little study, in which I see a man bent over a desk busily engaged in writing. After many weeks of hard work by day and by night, he is just ready to complete his lengthy manuscript, and I see him as he signs his name, Clarke Osborne. Just as I am wondering what this is that he has written, he turns back to the first page, and I catch the title, Essentials of Philoso- phy. Next the witches reveal vast acres of beautiful farm land, the most ideal I have ever seen. Presently a man comes galloping up on a pretty black horse; and as I look at him, I recognize W. S. Hinton, the most up-to-date, scientific farmer of America. The cauldron becomes calm tor a few minutes, and then another bubble rises. Now I see a residence portion of the city of Atlanta ( ? ) . But only one little cottage at- tracts me as a magnet. It is twilight; and as I look through the window, the warm, cheery fire and the happy couple before it picture to me a scene of perfect comfort and delight. Contentment and happiness seem to reign supreme. Just now I catch a glimpse of their faces, and recognize this happy pair as Mabel and her Professor. How I would like to go in and share the comfort of their home with them a while! But I cannot, for just now the vision fades from sight. In its place I see only a New York newspaper. One column, with big headlines, espe- cially is noticeable. I eagerly read it, and find that it is a description of a great busi- ness establishment of F. H. Chappelle, When the next bubble rises, a catalogue of Harvard University appears. The most prominent thing that I see in it is: B. B. Calhoun, A.JI., Ph.D., LL.D., Instructor of Mathematics. Then a great university appears. Dotted about over the campus are groups of stu- dents very much interested in something. I approach one of these groups, and find that they are praising very highly their new director of athletics — perfect wonder, they call him — B. V. Chapman. O, what beautiful music that is! Is it possible that any human being can draw forth tones like those? Before my eyes I see a wonderful audience. The people, too many to enumerate, all seem to be enchanted by the great musician wlio is malvin s icli music peal forth from the organ as never I heard before. But look! Can I be dreaming? No, indeed; it is perfectly real; and this is no other than the musician of the Class of 1914. T. M. Johnson. As the bewitching strains of this music gradually die away, the witches and their cauldron fade and vanish. In my bewilderment, I reach forth after them and cry: ■ ' Where are they? Gone? Is it possible that 1 alone of all my class see the future dimly foreshadowed before me? ' A SENIOR ' S REFLECTION For many years at dear S. U. This Senior Class has worked. They ' ve learned the long, hard lessons given, Nor any duty shirked. What though we ' ve busted many times. With help of jack and Key. If final Xams. are not too hard, We ' ll all win out. you ' ll see. And when the third of June shall come, In caps and gowns we ' ll dike, Receive our dips. fi ' om Dr. Sledd, And from old S. U. hike. And in the coming years, no doubt, When we must dig for cash. We ' ll sigh for S. U. ' s happy days. And wish for grits and hash. THE GRABS. OF 14 JIany cliauges have taken place Since this class came these halls to grace. ' Rats they were called when they first came here; Then even of shadows they lived in fear. But now, the long, weary years having passed, As Seniors before us they stand at last. Now listen, while in a brief story I tell The fate which to these brave Seniors fell. ' Useless Allen, M.D., we have in mind — A useless one of useful kind. He ' ll dose his patients with powders and pills, Which he knows will cure all human ills. ' Topple Chappelle would practice law: Of him all people stand in awe. Though never a client on him should call. Of law and practice he knows it all. E. V. Chapman, another M.D., Fame and honor will win, you ' ll see; And the many patients who seek his aid. Of no disease need feel afraid. We ' ll next introduce Professor Calhoun; Math, he will teach in some college soon. His pupils no trouble in learning will find. For Ellis will always be easy and kind. Then hear C. A. Haskew cry: What lawyers have done, why can ' t I? Those I defend need have no fear; Whate ' er they ' ve done, I ' ll get them clear. Who is this pompous History Prof., At the things trivial prone to scoff? ' Tis Gravy Hinton. Well, I vow! Who ' d dare to call him Gravy now ' ? Next, Malcolm Johnson came our way, A boy who likes to paint and play. Class Artist and Musician he; Good at both, as all can see. Our class seems noted for lI.U. ' s; So now meet Dr. Osborne, please. He ' ll treat your eyes, ears, throat, and nose, And banish all your pains and woes. W. M. Pickard, with good intent To maive people better, around is sent. By example and precept he ' ll strive to win The wicked away from evil and sin. And now we come to Frank Peterson: To hear his jokes the hoys all would run. He now teaches French, Modern English, and Spanish, And coaches the students in sports active and mannish. Here ' s Edward Tate, a man of parts, A skillful surgeon, and breaker of hearts. His Icgical mind is surely a wonder; His remarks make even Dr. Atkinson ponder. Of three coeds fair this class can boast, Whose fate you ' d learn at any cost. So tor your deep and lasting pleasure I ' ll try to bring them in this measure. Miss Dew, so dignified and stately, Now demonstrates to girls sedately The problems deep she learned to dig From Analyt., Geom., and Trig. Miss Mabel Williams teaches, too; But little children good and true Are her pupils. You ' ll not find Another teacher half so kind. Miss Edna Williams can ' t decide Just yet what Hobby she will ride; But in teaching Music, Gym., or Lyt., She ' ll be, I ' m sure, a perfect fit. - ADVICE TO A FRESHMAN A Freshie bold at old S. U. Ouce tried to ride a pony; P.ut the pony bucked and threw him. Where the way was rough and stony. Now, Freshie, learn from this sad tale To let the ponies be; For only hardy Seniors Can ride them well, you see. .,,. 1 1 . mM li 1l IP r ' V ' sh pi ' ' ' ' MM Vl 72 1 • ' U m Physics LAi-.dKATORV Cm i h i, [, r.(iiiM(ii;v JUNIOR CLASS POEM Shall I sing of our Alma Mater, Of her chapel and dim old halls, How we love every tree on her campus.

S ifiS N a memorable day In the month of September, 1911, one might have seen nura- ■IScl) bers of insignificant specimens of youth creeping with fear and dread to South- ki l ern University, where they registered as members of the Freshman Class. Con- sciousness of their unimportance, coupled with an ambition and desire for dis- tinction, enabled these timid individuals to brave the hazards of that all-important first year at college, which is so often an indication of the success or failure of the college career. Various happenings among the Freshmen attracted the attention of the uppei classmen, who, at first inclined to ridicule, were compelled to watch in silence as the Class of 1915 progressed. The first steps taken were faltering, perhaps; but under the able guidance of our professors, the ground beneath our feet became more secure. When the time came to assume the important name of Sophomore, the class deter- mined to make manifestation of the genuine class spirit. Each member felt strongly that indescribable presence of a binding tie, the knot of which grew stronger as time advanced; and all experienced a feeling of loyalty to the Class of 1915, which grew more intense with its strength. Still, enthusiasm, loyalty, and effort to reach an ever-nearing goal did not alone characterize the Sophomore Class of 1912. Numbered in its ranks were men of genius, men of oratorical ability and of athletic superiority; and the time came when Freshman and Sophomore names were thrust aside and the worthy name of Junior was adopted with pride, but not conceit; dignity, but not overbearance; assur- ance, but not ostentation. It was at this important period of existence that politics became heated and exciting. Since elections have passed in societies and various activities of college life, Old Jun- ior numbers among her ranks a large number of the contestants; and justly so, for we have thirteen as fine classmen as ever frequented the halls of old Southern. However, our prestige does not rest in masculine hands alone, for we have a loyal coed who lends an all-important hand in giving our class a place of pride and leadership. Even now we can realize our mistakes — a realization which inspires us to do even better in the future than we have in the past. To us the under classmen must now look for advice and sympathy. Rely upon us, for the Class of 1915, the Seniors of but a few weeks distant, stands ever ready to lend a helping hand to the unsophisticated rat, as well as the premature cat. JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY (HE foundation for a successful class has never been more thoroughly laid than that of our present Junior Class, as is shown by the splendid aggregation of spirited youths. The zeal to accomplish noble deeds and to suppress those that are detrimental to our nation ' s welfare is the foremost ambition of all the class. Gathered from different parts of the State, they give opportunities for valuable associa- tion, which is only obtained by those who are bound together by class spirit. Many prophecies have been made as to our future, but only One knows where our varied talents will be used for the advancement of universal purity. The most eloquent orators, talented physicians, influential statesmen, master musicians, distinguished col- lege presidents, and powerful preachers are included in our class. They will loom up in the future as stars of their professions. Decades, centuries — yes, ages — have looked forward to the time when the thirteen of nineteen hundred and fifteen should appear on the scene of action and take their responsible places in life. The problems of life have been considered in our preparation for the short journey in order that we may show forth the results of our labor and the thorough instruction of our Alma ilater. If we so live that honor will be bestowed upon our Alma Mater, then we may be confi- dent that success will favor us in the hard-fought battles of life, when the Juniors of 1914 will be making their way to the halls of Congress and to the White House. PARAGRAPHIC PROPHECY (Miss) JvLiA Tui Nii.i:u; Very precise. Has a great deal of class spirit. Plays basket ball better than any other girl in the Junior Class. She takes the A.B. degree in 1915, if she does not take the Mrs. degree first. She is destined to be one of the foremost leaders of the Suffra- gette Party. C. E. Avi GEH : Very logical in all of his discussions, especially when he is talking to Miss Moody. The benighted lands of the far East are impatiently waiting for Mr. Avinger ' s arrival and the great work he will accomplish in that field. J. H. Baxley: Loyal to literary society. Has many honors. I am sure the world will be greatly blessed with having Howard at the head of any of her greatest institutions. V. A. Calhou.n ; Takes a special delight in coaching the Coed Basket-Bail Team. The electrical world is bound to be revolutionized by the invincible hand of Velo. K. E. Cooper: Always in a hurry. His hobby is long hair. We feel confident that the political world will be greatly blessed with such a forceful character in her fields. E. B. Joy.nek: Reserved, especially when there are any coeds near. The Alabama Conference has some place for him in her varied fields of labor. W. E. Ln ir.E: Takes a great delight in atliletics. There is no doubt that he will some day take Ty Cobb ' s place. E. D. Thorpe: Very much interested in all of his studies, especially ilath. He is hound to make his mark in the world, it he has to make it with a plow. Tipper Lightfoot; Delights in being polite to the ladies. Has lots of friends, who will be glad to give him their business. C. W. Segrest; Very studious. Takes pleasure in making a hundred in all of his monthly tests. A shrewd politician. Likes to count money. So look out, grafter, for Charlie as Sec- retary of the Treasury. , - W. M. ir.vTHEws: Takes a delight in arguing, especially about the colors of the rainbow. 1 am sure Mit will be a great blessing to the literary world. He is showing signs of it now. SOPHO. MORES. SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM The Sophomore ' s lot is not an envied one, For fame and power he has none. He ' s glad the Freshman days are past; Forbid such tortures should always last! But he dares not be the least bit vain, For fear the Junior, with haughty mien, ■Will accuse the Soph, of trying to win Glories that rightly belong to him. For us the wheel of fortune still turns; In our souls the lamp of ambition burns. Let us to our books show deep devotion; In time will come desired promotion. The goal is at the end of our race, And soon we shall reach the Senior ' s place; From there we shall view with true disdain The road we traversed such heights to gain.

PiiiLLip.s Odessa Phillips George Va. Siukdiford SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY y t-VST one year ago last September a bunch of trembling rats came before the I ' m august Committee on Registration. Many and varied were the questions we J were asked. Manyer and more varleder were the answers we gave in re- turn. At last we signed our names in the big book, and said, with the immor- tal warrior of old: Veni, vidi, vici. Last September we came back — albeit with ranks somewhat thinned by the varying vicissitudes of life — and are this year doing all in our power to maintain the high stand- ing that we made last year. Our efforts are meeting with unprecedented success. In comparison with our peerless band of fifteen, the other classes, individually and col- lectively, sink into perfect oblivion. Even the mighty Seniors have to admit that we have progressed more rapidly than any other class that has come within the radius — or diameter, either, for that matter — of their observation. In all lines of college activity we stand out conspicuously. It would not be an exag- geration to say that none of the college activities could exist w ' ere it not for us. SVe will not make such a remark, however, as it might seem immodest to those who do not know us, and to those who do know us it might seem even worse. So tar as scholar- ship is concerned, any class might well be proud of our record. A large per cent of our present number were on the honor rolls last year. Far be it from us to speak boastingly of ourselves, but we feel safe in saying that by far the greater part of the class will be on the honor rolls this year. In the two literary societies, the Clariosophic and Belles-Lettres, we are well repre- sented. Our men are doing good work in each of these societies, thereby getting honor and glory for the class as well as for themselves. It was our distinguished President who last year won the Ready Debaters ' medal. Practically all of our men have served on Ladies ' Debates, and on each and every such occasion they have shown remarkable proficiency in pleading with the ladies. Our prowess in athletics is well worthy of honorable mention here. We had men on all the athletic teams put out last year. McGehee and Kersh easily made the ' Varsity team in baseball, and this year the prospects are good for more of our members to do the same thing. On Field Day our class came in for its full share of the track-team honors. Eidson and Kersh figured prominently in the events of that day, the latter winning first place in the mile run. We cannot lose the opportunity to say a few words about the place our class occupies on the Glee Club. Hinton, Eidson, Gilder, and Newsom sing on the club and seem to have a brilliant career ahead of them in the world of song. Time and space prevent our going further with this history. We can imagine no more delightful task than to call special attention to each individual member of our band and show wherein he excels any member of any other class that ever matriculated at old Southern University; but the varying and complex duties of college life prevent such a performance. May the days and months and years that are to come bring ever fresher, ever brighter laurels with which to wreathe the brows of our Sophomores; and may the hours spent here be so pleasant and profitable that when college days are far behind us we will remember with lingering longing the time spent at old Southern University. SOPHOMORE CLASS PROPHECY . l v Nr, OME years iigo, during tlie suiunier of 193y, I was wearily wending ray way to- vSjjg ward my little shanty In iVijango, Africa. The sun was intently paltering away si ' at my bean, when the thought struck me that it would be quite a pleasure to make a visit back to Alabama, U. S. A., to see my old Southern University classmates. It was now three o ' clock in the afternoon; so I knew I would have to hustle if I suc- ceeded in being ready to board the aeroplane direct for England which passed at six o ' clock ne ;t morning. I made the few business transactions necessary for the settle- ment of my affairs, packed my grip, took a nap that night, and was ready for the trip of the day. As I had come to this country some twenty years before in an old-fashioned steamer commonly used in 1918, I was eager for the ride in the modern airsliip. Exactly at six the big ship arrived, and I, along with the other freight, was taken on board. Hardly had I secured a sitting place, when a great big guy came along yelling: Tickets! I thought perhaps he might pass me by, so I made no perceptible movement. However, I was keenly disappointed; for the fellow marched up to me with the air of one who owned the universe and its accessories, and, in a very commanding voice, demanded of me my ticket. I gave it to him, and he passed on with stately tread, his head set at a very lofty angle. A glance had informed me that this personage was none other than my former classmate, Ed McGehee. Well, I thought, if he ' s a sample of the rest, my trip holds out anything but pleasant greetings. Thinking now that others of my fellow-students might be aboard, I decided to recon- noiter, taking care, however, not to let my presence be known. After going tlirough many magnificent saloons and sitting rooms, 1 chanced to go into a third-class smoker; and there, puffing away at their tobacco, were Tom Calhoun and Big Newsom, inci- dentally arguing whether ' Squire Jobey Metton should run for President of the United States. Over in one corner of the room was a peanut and dime-novel stand, whose pro- prietor was the modest and retiring Foshee. Knowing that the argument was mere gas and that the peanuts were very probably old ones, I passed on. My heart was now growing heavy to see that my old friends were not turning out mucli better than myself, which was saying very little for them. Finding a quiet corner, I went to sleep, and remained so until about 4 P.M., when I was awakened by the noise and bustle of the passengers getting ready to alight at New York. I had not aroused when the stop in England was made. At New York I was to take another ship for Ala- bama. Having to wait a few minutes, I stepped into a large department store and came face to face with F. B. Joyner. He was floor walker. Luckily, he passed me without recognition. He seemed intensely interested in his work. Leaving New York at 4:30, we were to arrive at Montgomery at 6. Having become a little more accustomed to civilization. I was walking about the ship, when I saw a lightly dressed gentleman approaching me. He was distributing circulars, and smil- ingly handed one to me. His smile was not one of an old friend, though. I looked at the circular, and saw that it was advertising Dr. Wayne Gilder ' s Cough Remedy. We arrived at Montgomery on time. Thinking some looking around before taking • ' ' ly nightly snooze would be refreshing, I directed my steps up toward what seemed to be the center of the city. Desiring to appease my ravenous hunger, I turned into a mod- ern cafe. It was here that I learned by listening to the gossipers that early that morn- ing an old bachelor, H. I. Savage, had quietly married a wealthy artist. Many seemed to think that his marriage was due largely to the fact that when a yoimg man he had been so intensely interested in art and pictures. Rev. Walter D. Flewelleu had per- formed the matrimonial ceremony. Having satisfied the intensity of my appetite, I started on down the street with a heavy heart. Coming face to face with a large sign, I glanced over it, and saw that it was the shingle of H. L. Kersh, who had now become a famous dentist. Passing on, 1 chanced to purchase a newspaper, and therein, upon the society page, in flaming head- lines, was the account of a grand reception given by Mrs. E , of Birmingham, in honor of Sir. W. M. Hinton, the famous cartoonist. That night I slept fitfully, wishing for the seclusion of my far-away African home. FRESHMAN CLASS POEM How often the thought comes home to me. As the moments hurry away, 0£ the many things I intend to do Somehow, some time, some day! There are promises tliat have not been liept, Though I always meant to he true; But time is too short for all things That a body intends to do. I will answer a letter or read a hook; I will write a bit of rhyme; I will do the things I ought to do — Some day when 1 have time. So I look beyond, as I hope and plan For the days that are just ahead. While the day that is here goes into the grave. With its opportunities dead. To-day is the only day we have; Of to-morrow we can ' t be sure. To seize the chance as it comes along Is the way to make it secure; For every year is a shorter year. And this is a truth sublime; A moment misspent is a jewel lost From the treasury of time.

After the noise and clamor was over and the , -Mi sound of brilliant speeches made by some of our number had died away, it sud- denly dawned upon me that I had been chosen Class Prophet and must foretell the future of each o ne in the class. When I first realized the greatness of my task, it stunned me; but I soon regained consciousness without receiving any serious injury. 1 became aware of my inefficiency to fill such a high position; and though 1 tried again and again, my mind failed to fall in a prophetic mood. After several weeks of pondering and thinking over the many possibilities of my classmates, I was still unable to solve the mysteries of their future. As I sat at my desk one evening gazing up at the ceiling and meditating upon the peculiar qualities and characteristics of each member of my class, I suddenly fell into a trance. While in this condition, the mysterious future was opened before my eyes, and then it was that I plainly saw: Rat Adams, after many years of faithful preparation, teaching Latin to a shaggy- haired boy, who would invariably say, ' ■ Hie, hcPC, hoc, huge, hunc of ham, to arouse the old master ' s anger. Tom Anderson was a weather reporter in one of our larger cities. He had secured this honorable position because of the excellent training he had received during his college course in the study of the Dew. AUgood was holding a position with Dr. Killum as office boy, and was amusing himself by laughing at the afflictions of the poor patients. Percy Spruell was a noted crook and bum in general. After pawning all of his valuables, he decided that his case was a hopeless one; so he was admirably filling the position of hobo. Jaybird Benson, having won fame in the practice games at Southern University, soon went to the big league, and finally became mascot for the New York Nationals. Barnett was one of our most brilliant lawyers, and rendered a great service to the University in general by securing the passage of a bill prohibiting the sale of beef to the college ranches when the ox had been worked for more than twenty years. Tom Cleveland was a chemist of great renown, having won his fame because of his discovery of Deflogisticated aqua validis, the only acid in which the biscuits of the college ranches are soluble. The Calhoun trio — Miss Beulah, Baldy, and Culver — were running a hash joint. Miss Beulah was cashier, Baldy was chief cook, while Culver was head waiter. Rev. Deal had taken up Salvation Army work in Edinburgh, and was doing well. He said he was working at this trade in order to better equip himself to take charge of a circuit in the backwoods of Alabama. Baldy Douglas I saw standing beside a newly made grave, the last resting place of Father Time. The mantle of the old man had fallen upon the youthful shoulders of the sober Douglas. Porter was the leading grocer at Rosemary, having as his main line clothespins and toothpicks. He entered the University as a ministerial student: but after rooming with Deal for a few weeks, he soon went to the bad. Sal Fisher had made a wonderful haul along the matrimonial line, having for his wife a large Dutch washerwoman, who made things rather warm for him at times. Dan Godfrey was practicing medicine at Akron, and the undertaking business of Lav- euder Alison, with Alison as funeral director, was nourishing in the vicinity ot his practice. Miss King was converted into a queen, and was reigning as a sacred goddess over the household hearth. Kirby, who was said to be the best-looking boy in college, had become a clown for Barnum Bailey. He had been driven to this extreme position because his beauty so haunted him that he could not be satisfied except when he was in the ring as the objeci of thousands of spectators. R. L. Maxey, better known as good-looking Maxey, had become a noted Marathon runner, and had won quite a rep. Nevertheless, he was defeated in the race for the widow by Calhoun, who was later defeated by Hunt. Happy Robinson had become distinguished because of his enormous store of knowl- edge gained from the innumerable questions which he asked his classmates. M. A. Maxey, who was far surpassed when it came to looks, was an unhappy married man, having to support a wife and eight children, who were continually howling at his heels and raising a rookus in general. Miss Williams was at the head of Vassar, teaching Latin to all the country lassies who came her way. Just here my dream was disturbed by a distant shout at my door: Joel 0, Joe! Well, sir! Have you been asleep here all night? Get up, my son! It is now six thirty, and that cow should have been milked an hour ago! Reluctantly 1 arose to perform my duty, after definitely deciding that this was my calling in life.

Keener iyIk being President. 1 The first girl to enter was ilaggle Pickett, of Greensboro. She was for some time the only girl student, but was followed in a year or so by Ella Keener and Anna Moetey, then by others, till in 1897 there were nine women enrolled. In June, 1897, Maggie Pickett received the A.B. degree — the first woman graduate from South- ern University in all her forty years of history. The girls and women of Greensboro began to appreciate the opportunity before them, and came to the college, some as full students and some as special students. In 1899 they numbered sixteen. One of this number, Alice Waller, took the A.B. degree in 1900. The Master ' s degree was conferred on women for the first time in 1902, Amy Seay and Pauline Pickett both receiving it that year. Since 1897 there have been but three classes without a coed graduate — those of 1898, 1899, and 1907. Martha Dominick won the Gidden prize for affability in 1906. In this year also two more girls received the Master ' s degree — Annie Seay and Ora Walton. Clyde Whitmire, of the Class of 1910, won a prize in French in 1908. Clara Young, of the same class, was given a medal by the business men of Greensboro in 1908, and won the Review and Bulletin medal for the best essay in 1910. It is said that the two youngest matriculates of Southern University have been girls. One of these, Maud Dew, has twice won the Scholarship medal — in 1912 and in 1913. Lila Andrews Overstreet won the Senior Essayist ' s medal in 1913. It seems particu- larly fitting that she should have done so, for both her parents have been closely asso- ciated with the institution; and she also bears the name of a former beloved President — Dr. Andrews. Ever since the new gymnasium was opened there has always been a class for girls, and for several years there has been a girls ' basket-ball team. At the present time there are twenty-one women graduates; and perhaps every one would turn this day in spirit with profound thankfulness to the great-hearted Dr. Keener, who opened for them the way of a college education. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the Senior Coeds, being of Kound mind and memory, do lierel y make this, our last will and testament, by which we make known concerning the dispo- sition of our several goods, and to whom we bequeath our part of the coeds ' privileges and rights. With tears in our eyes and with faltering steps we tremblingly approach that lachry- mose period when we needs must discontinue our associations with numerous things which, during the pleasant, though toilsome, days of our four years of college life, have become a part of ourselves — implanted, indeed, in our enamored souls. Thus at this sad time we willingly — because it is noble and unselfish to do so — be- queath to you, cur worthy Junior Coeds, first of all, our part of the dearly beloved coeds ' room. Deal with it gently and tenderly. We would not ask you to give up the jolly good times that we have all had together there ratting some new coed, but we do insist that you enter it reverently and with a spirit of love and devotion. Don ' t be too rough with the chairs and tables, for you know some of them are somewhat rickety; and, whatever you do, be careful with the dear old long-used looking-glass which hangs on the wail. Mind not to break the panes of the one much-loved window; and while sitting in it, gazing upon the campus, think of us Seniors, who have passed into new environments, and who at that time, possibly, are longing for the good times once en- joyed in that same window to return. Don ' t forget to engrave the names of the coeds of 1914-15 on the wall, along with those of other years. As a last word concerning the coeds ' room, we would simply warn you not to forget that the President ' s office is next door. With reluctance we leave to your care and keeping our most precious books, with the parting injunction that you handle them carefully and lovingly. Although they may seem somewhat bartered and time-worn, you may know that all of their scratches and cuts were received in the hard-fought struggles which we Seniors had in trying to mas- ter their many difficult lessons. We hope that you will con these with earnest aspira- tion and zeal, and conquer them, thus pursuing your course in that well-trodden path to success in which we have so unceasingly striven to walk. Along with these, we would not forget to leave with you that great privilege of run- ning out to college for an eight-o ' clock recitation, getting there, all out of breath, just in time to gasp out, Present! when your name is called. We generously leave to you the privilege of winning demerits; and as we ourselves never liked to use such a privi- lege, we assure you that you will find it as good as new. Be careful not to abuse it. It is with regretful and sorrowful emotions that we leave to you our unsurpassed Fac- ulty, all of whom we are loath to part with. Most unselfishly is given in your behalf a whole Senior year, which carries with it untold advantages as well as many hardships and struggles. Above all, Juniors, treasure these little gifts; and in later years, when the dark days come and life seems almost in vain, cherish the memory of your Alma Mater and take for yours its motto, Pro Christo et republica: then all will be bright. With one more mighty effort to control our feelings, we tearfully bequeath to you all our Senior rights and privileges, though the memory will still be ours, our richest treasure. Whereunto we set our hand and seal, this third day of June, 1914. Their Se.viou Colons. X Mark THE SIGH OF A COED I ' m sick and disgusted witli Latin. What ' s tlie use of a language that ' s dead? Still, I have to sit here day after day, And cram the old stuff in my head. I ' m bored with iMathematies; I ' m worse than that with French; And I get so tired of sitting still On a hard old classroom bench. I ' d like to go home to-morrow; I feel like packing my trunk. Examinations are nearly here. And I ' m sure I ' m going to flunk. I wish two weeks were longer, Or the time till exams, would tarry. O, what in this world am I to do? I suppose I ' ll have to marry. o SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY FITTING SCHOOL ' HE best always comes last. That is why the Fitting School ' s part in the Annual has been reserved for this place. We, of course, feel embarrassed at being M placed in a great big book like this along with college men and women. This feeling of embarrassment is not an entirely new sensation to us, however. .Many and many a time since last September we have known embarrassment of the worst type — financial embarrassment. Because we are a part of Southern University, and not because we are desirous of honor and prominence, do we come before you to make up a portion of a book to which all other books will some day bow down and pay homage — the first Southern University Annual. Trusting that our remarks so far have pleased you, we now plunge recklessly ahead into the main part of our write-up. As a distinct and separate institution, the Fitting School is only three years old; but a more thriving three-year-old would be hard to find. Hamilton Hall — which, by the way, is not related to any of the halls up town — is the home of the school. It was formerly used as a dormitory for young men attending school at Southern University. Three years ago some recitation rooms and a study hall were arranged on the first floor. Most of the boys room on the second floor. The year 1913-14 has been one of great prosperity for the Fitting School. Students CO the number of thirty-six have enrolled since September. Counting the college men and women who come over to make up back work, this number would be increased to forty-six. Although we be few in number, we are ' many in all other respects. All phases of school life have been well taken care of by us this year. The records made in our classes are in advance of those made by students here last year and the year before. This remark is meant not so much to discredit former work done here as to indicate the stuff of which we are made. In our literary society, the Sidney Lanier, we have done good work and made commendable progress. All but two of the boys living in the hall are mem- bers with us. If space and time were ours, we would attempt to outline here some of the social efforts — not strictly literary — that have been made by Fitting School men. At the opening of the year we students undertook the publication of a paper, the Fit- ting School Journal. The editorial staff was composed of the following: Hermon Mor- gan, Editor in Chief; Aldrich Crowe, Evan Kelley, Willard Bonner; and Emmette Sharpe, Assistant Editors; Mitford Mathews, Faculty Editor; and Thomas E. Knight, .Ir., Business Manager. This enterprise has prospered, and we hope to make the paper better as the years go by. As may be seen from the foregoing, we have been making things go this year. But our activities have not been confined to this small plot of earth and these brown brick walls. We have practically run all of the college activities begun this year. Possibly it would not be exaggeration to say that the various forms of college life would not have been carried on this year had it not been for us. We, with some aid from the college men, put out a Southern University Glee Club, which toured parts of two States and came back none the worse from the experience — we mean the club, and not the States, was none the worse. In athletics our men were allowed to play on the college teams, and in both basket ball and baseball we have men who are recognized as stars. In track and gym. work we are confident of coming in for more than our share of the hon- ors — as we always do. Modesty prevents our saying any more nice things about ourselves. By way of bring- ing this article to a fitting close, however, we wish to quote from a speech made by one of our professors at a recent society meeting at which more than two were present; ' ■ The Fitting School men ai ' e the life, the pep., the ginger, the vim, and the go of this entire town. Will not Greensboro, the Mistress of the Black Belt, be a sad, dreary place when the flush of the glorious summer creeps down upon the land of the South and when the boys of the Southern University Fitting School have gone to their various homes? The place will remain on the map, I suppose. Trains may continue to stop here. The sun will shine here, but the mellowness and glory will all be gone from it. The birds will still sing in the big oaks on the campus, but there will be no joy, no life in their songs. The girls of Greensboro will go up and down these streets in much the same old way, but that sparkle of the eye, that flush of the face that speaks of gladness unutterable, will have faded. Verily, it will be a sad day for this part of the earth when The south wind seeks the Fitting School boys. Whose shoulders late he bore, And sighs to find them in their rooms And by the gym. no more. THE FATE OF AN AMBITIOUS ASPIRANT FOR LITERARY FAME Or, A Tragedy of the Commonplace HEN the winds of autumn began to whisper around this old romantic dormi- |l tory, wlien the goldenrods were blooming on the hillsides and the purple asters were making lovely the valleys, there came into our midst a remarkable young man. Although a mere youth, he aspired to things that only a god should aspire to. He had an ambition to know everything and to write down all that he thought was worth writing down. It was not long after his arrival here that he began the composition of a book. We paid very little attention to him when he communicated to us this important literary fact. He was so deeply interested at just that time in biology that we supposed his work lay in that domain of science. One evening just after supper a rumor started among the dwellers on the second floor. It rapidly spread. Soon a delegation of us rapped for admittance on the door of this peculiar being ' s -room. No answer. We forged bravely in. Our worst suspicions were soon confirmed. We found him busy with his book, but — lo! — its title pleased us not. Although it pains us, we are going to copy the work of his nimble fingers, for he had already finished more than a page. Here it is: A FITTING SCHOOL DICTIONARY FRO.M A lUOLOCill ' . L VIEWPOINT J-o-x-E-s — A small biped. Terrible in aspect, but quite harmless. R-Y-.vL-s — A newly discovered river animal, resembling a catfish, but browner in color and having scales like an alligator. C-R-E-w-s — A carnivorous land animal, which navigates by means of boatlike flap- pers, attached, apparently loosely, to two upright props. C-B-o-w-E — An insect resembling the locust, but much more greedy and devastating. S-T-u-K-D-i-v-A-N-T — An extremely harmless little amphibian. Noted for its industry in seeking things to devour. Likes to sleep just after eating and to eat just after sleep- ing. F-I -0-W-E-R-S — As the name implies, this document belongs to the plant rather than to the animal kingdom. Distinguished even at long range by its strong, pungent fra- grance, which is of the can ' t-get-away-from kind. K-B-L-L-E-Y — A biped elephant, resembling the ordinary kind, except it has larger feet and is many times slower. N-E-w-s-o-M-E (pronounced ' New-nothing ' ) — A queer jackdaw-looking arrangement. Differs from others of this species in that it is provided with a cud, which it chews vehemently. T-r-R-K — A specimen which bears no resemblance to the ordinary Thanksgiving turk. Impossible to know much about this thing. S-T-o-K-E-s — A sleek, well-fed-looking bird. Ressmbles the stork, from which it de- rives its name. S-H-A-R-p-E — A plant looking like an ordinary toadstool. G-o-L-s-o-x — The raven of Poe come to life. The feeling, my gentle reader, that settled down upon me and my comrades as we perused this word book can never be described. We realized that we were on the eve of a great tragedy, for Fitting School men had been handled in this book in a way that demanded immediate attention. With tears in our eyes, but with grim determination in our hearts, we gathered this embryonic Dr. Johnson in and left the hall with him clasped in our passionate embrace. After we had proceeded far enough from the build- ing, we told our ward that such a great man as he was should be honored by us with a reception at which he would be the foremost actor. He was polite; for as he held on his trousers with one hand, with the other he made a graceful gesture and said that words were inadequate to express the feelings in his heart at this kind treatment. He said that it had been his observation that truthful men were always rewarded, whether they deserved it or not. When the program was over, we left him out there — hanging to a large limb. We did not hesitate to leave him alone, for we had confidence in our ability to find him when- ever we tried. It is contrary to our custom to leave a piece of work partially completed, so we ap- pointed one of our band to finish the book that this master mind had begun. WcrKing carefully and thoughtfully, consulting us individually at each step, the remaining names were appended to this volume: ■ ' H-E-x-A-G-A- - — A sporty good-looker. K-i-x-G — A veritable prince. R-Y-A-x — A gentleman of high standing (seven feet, we mean). G-A-y-L-E — A modest young man, timid, bashful, reticent. K-x-i-G-H-T — A broncho buster; pony riding a specialty. D-o-N-o-v-A-x — Happy and reserved. ' Never says nothing at no place nor at no time. ' ■ ' D-A-Y — A dazzling success every way, especially socially. A-T-K-i-s-s-o-x — One whose smile drives away cares. B-o-x-x-E-R — An aspirant for athletic honors. R-i-G-G-s — A railroad man of the most virulent type. B-A-R-x-E-T-T-E — A lady ' s man — lady ' s name not known. G-i-L-B-E-R-T — A devourer of algebra problems: takes them raw, without salt or pepper. B-o-x-x-E-R (the little one) — A society man — literary and the other kind also. C-o-u-L-L-i-E-T-T-E — An editor of no mean fame. W-i-x-x (feminine) — A maiden much prized by many men of many minds. S-L-E-D-D (feminine) — A student who will travel far in realms of gold. W-i-L-L-i-A-M-s (femininej — Kind, gentle, and true. CLARIOSOPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY MEMBERS C. E. AVINGER ■. . ..■ • J. H.

Calhoux E. B. Joyneh CLARIOSOPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY iHE hall occupied by this society is situated on the second floor at the west end of the main college building. It is one of the largest and most handsome in . the building. The bright carpets, ceilings, and walls, the latter hung with por- traits and pennants, all develop a taste and pride rarely found elsewhere in col- lege life. The chief benefits and sweetest associations of college days are referred, in after life, to these dear old walls. The antiquity of the society adds a charm and veneration to which the sister society lays no claim. It is a chapter of the University of Georgia, which was founded on Feb- ruary 22, 1S20, as a chapter of Oxford University, England, having the same name, coat of arms, and constitution. From the Georgia chapter went out Judge Lumpkin; Gov. Alexander Stephens. Vice President of the Confederacy and historian of the Civil War: Gov. H. V. Johnson; and Howell Cobb. Think of the honor and inspiration of showing the influences that made such men, and also of the following from Oxford, England: -iddison, Steele, Dr. Samuel Johnson, the Wesleys, Matthew Arnold, Gladstone, his son, Lord Chancellor of England, and Cecil Rhodes! The first enrollment in the local chapter began on October 29, 1S59, at the opening of the first session. The original signatures of all members are preserved in an unbroken history from that day to this. Twenty-three enrolled the first session. Nearly a thou- sand have enrolled since. The name of John V. Glass heads the list. He was the first graduate, both of the college and of the society (for diplomas were conferred by the society in the early days on worthy and faithful members), Other members active in the organization and establishment of the society were; C. D. Christian, the first Vice President: T. B. Terrell, Secretary; W. R. Randle, Librarian; H. C. Hill, who secured the constitution; J. G. Walker, T. L. Glover, J. B. Littlejobn, Syd Moore, J. N. Sledge. V ' . J. Spillman, L. A. Felder, R. E. Clopton, Joe Atkinson, L. T. Ormond, S. C. Carson, and A. M. Jones. The pride and zeal of the members are intensified, not only that they have the same constitution as the older chapters, but that it is kept secret as a sacred oracle — all their own. All proceedings are likewise secret — a feature which, besides teaching the value of keeping counsel in life, gives a charm and interest not otherwise created. Another happy feature of this soicety is its social life. It has always boasted of the large number of ladies of culture who have accepted membership in the society. Among those who may be mentioned are: Mrs. Harry T. Inge, Mobile; Mrs. Phares Coleman, Montgomery, Pres:dent of the Federated Clubs of Alabama; Miss Martha Young; Mrs. W. W. Powers, who wrote the semicentennial poems; Mrs. T. R. Ward; and many others. The society from the first has had honorary members from among the leading men ot the country; Col. John G. Harvey; Col. John Erwin, the first President of the Board ol Trustees; L. D. de Yampert, the largest contributor at the founding of the college; Au- gustus Benners; Dr. J. T. Mangrum; Bishop Wightman, the first President of the col- lege; all the Faculty, with their wives; Bishops Pierce and Galloway; William L. Yan- cey, the immortal orator and leader of the South; L. Q. C. Lamar; Governors Watts, Oates, Jones, and Houston; Edward Everett, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Grover Cleveland, W. J. Bryan, and many others. The society holds and treasures many let- ters from these famous personages, signed by their own hands. In the historic days, upon anniversary occasions, these celebrities occupied the chair and filled the other offices of the society. On commencement occasions, when the visit- ing alumni and active members were in session, the meetings always closed with enthu- siastic applause and prolonged display of loyalty to the society. It was on one of these occasions that Governor Seay and others said that all they were they owed to the soci- ety — the results of the manifold forms of training afforded in essay and letter writing, declamation, debate, oratory, parliamentary practice, committee and secretary work, writing of reports and resolutions, keeping accounts, presiding over assemblies, and, in fact, all forms of social, civic, and religious service which qualify for leadership in life. Prominent members from the parent chapters have already been mentioned. The in- stitution has sent out many men well known to the public of to-day. such as Thomas Seay; Prof. F. M. Peterson, D.D.; Julius Jordan, President of the Southern Educational Association and Professor of Pedagogy of the University of Arkansas; Dr. J. A. Moore, of Millsaps; Dr. E. K. Turner, Emory College; Dr. Hosmer, Ex-President of Southern University; Judge R. L. Williams, first Supreme Judge of Oklahoma and the writer of the ConstiLution of the new State; George L. Jenkins, F. P. Culver, and Bisliop James H. McCoy. ' ' BELLES-LETTRES LITERARY SOCIETY E. A. All e.n Ralph Allgood A. E. Barnett J. B. Bexson ' B. B. Calhoux E. T. Calhoux W. E. Calhoux L. C.

TnoiUM BELLES-LETTRES LITERARY SOCIETY ' ■w— ' ONG years ago, ■ ' ' fore de wall, in the early days of Southern University, five I [ college students, feeling the necessity of cultivating their oratorical powers and I literary tastes, met in the eastern hall of the University and organized the Belles-Lettres Literary Society. Those men who on October 28, 1859, founded an organization which has flourished in usefulness unto this day, were C. B. Clark, C. C. Ellis. H. Urquhart, May, and G. W. Creagh; and as the first chairman this lit- tle band of workers elected C. B. Clark. From the very beginning Belles-Lettres has exerted an influence over her members which can hardly be estimated; and to-day men who have taken their places in the affairs of the nation, and who have become famous for their oratory, ascribe much of their success to the invaluable training received in the old society halls at Southern University. Indeed, it is in the Clariosophic and Belles- Lettres Societies that Southern University ' s orators are developed, and not in the public- speaking classes. So these societies are more than mere college clubs, and their aims are higher than social pleasures. They have taken their places among the most im- portant factors of Greensboro college life. Their honors are as eagerly sought as ath- letic glories, and their oratorical triumphs are long remembered in the old halls, even when the voices that uttered the impassioned words are stilled. Belles-Lettres is proud of her history. Surely no organization with an unworthy purpose could have survived the difficulties and dangers through which she has passed. Through all the gloom of the war and the discouraging days of the Reconstruction, when her numbers were few because of those who had given themselves to their coun- try ' s service, she still struggled to carry on the noble work. As the dark shadow of that terrible strife was slowly lifted from the land, Belles-Lettres received new life and strength as the number of students in college increased, and has progressed with un- abated vigor until the present time. The year 1912-13 was one of great prosperity. A spirit of keen, but friendly, rivalry existed between the two societies, and the public debates were interesting occasions of much enthusiasm. The opening event of the year was the semiannual Ladies ' Debate, in which six bashful rats were given the opportunity to use their arts of persuasion and argumentation before a committee chosen from the ladies of Greensboro to serve as judges. This debate is always considered important, as the success of a man in this world depends largely on how effectively he can plead before the fair sex. The follow- ing men took part in this debate, and acquitted themselves with great credit; J. W. McCann, J. D. Moore, T. C. Brannon. W. Gilder, C. W. Segrest, C. O. Lawrence; M. F. Dozier, orator. Next, just before the Christmas holidays, came Challenge Debate, which will long be remembered by the Belles-Lettres as the most enthusiastic victory of the year. Toppy Chappelle and C. A. Haskew were the mighty champions of Alpha Kappa Phi. Brannon was yell ieader for the night, and it is no wonder that, with such deafening cheers to encourage the speakers, the Clarios went down in defeat. We invaded the opponents ' territory, with the Belles-Lettres ' banner flying at the head of our column; and although Fuzzy Morris and Mit Matthews defended their side very valiantly, when the vehement words of tlie fiery orators ceased to jar the foundations and rattle the windowpanes, the judges decided in favor of us. And then the aftermath! Belles- Lettres and Clarios tried to outyell each other, until the very roof trembled and the floor throbbed to the rhythmic motion of tramping feet. As our representatives on Joint Debate, J. D. Moore and Chapman were elected. The following Fresliiiien spoke on the second Ladies ' Debate: R. .1. Owens, M. B Roberts, W. M. Hint on, Leon Kersh. F. B. .Joyner. H. I. Savage; E. A. Allen, orator. On Jlay 7 the spacious society hall was filled to overflowing to celebrate the fifty- fourth anniversary of the founding of the Belles-Lettres Literary Society. E. A. Allen, C. 0. Lawrence, H. G. Gilder, and W. M. Bryant were the debaters; and the orator of the occasion, Hon. F. M. Dominick, of Birmingham, delivered a splendid address. As usual, we also captured our share of the medals at commencement. The follow- ing speakers were elected: Society Speakers — C. A. Haskew and .M. F. Dozier. U. D. C— F. H Chappelle. Junior Speakers — E. A. Allen, C. A- Haskew, and H. G. Gilder. Sophomore-Freshman Declamation — J. D. Moore. F. B. .loyner, H. I. Savage, W. JI. Hinton, W. Gilder, and J. W. McCann. C. A. Haskew won both society and Junior medals; H. I. Savage, the Sophomore Dec- lamation medal; and W. M. Hinton, the Ready Debaters ' medal.

Haskew- will represent us this year in the Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest at Jlontgomery. M. F. Dozier, a loyal Belles-Lettres, represented us last year. The society to-day is perhaps in the prime of its strength. The meetings are held on every Saturday night in the well-furnished, beautifully carpeted hall at the eastern end of the college. We have great hope of again capturing the honors at commencement, and for the coming years we see only continued prosperity, greater usefulness, and more brilliant success. INTERCOLLEGIATE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION ' ■J: j ip? T is peculiarly interesting to note the varioup courses in which are directed the iVIto ambitions of young college men. There are decidedly few who, while in college. , M! disclaim any aspirations vhatever. Literature appeals to the tastes of some; atliietics. to the fondness of others; while oratory attracts the passionate na- tures of many. To furnish an inviting field to those who succumb to the latter impulse. Soutliern University, some years ago. formed with Howard College and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute what is icnown as the Intercollegiate Oratorical Association of Alabama. (Birmingham College entered as the fourth member in 191.3.) It is instructive — and, indeed, very attractive — to Ivnow the extent to which this association has appealed to the oratorical ambitions of the upper classmen in the past. Fully half the Southern Uni- versity graduates, since the formation of the intercollegiate connection, have, at one time or another in their college career, contested for the honor of representing their Alma Mater in this field. In our school the Faculty exercises tlie function of selecting our representative to the oratorical meet, which is usually held in Birmingham or Montgomery. They make this selection at the primary in ; Iarch from the number who appear and deliver orations before them. It is not the gifted orator who. in every case, is chosen from the coterie of contest- ants. Many things enter in to form the judges ' opinion as to the best speaker. Com- position, delivery, articulation, and many other elements contribute equally to the grades. It is conclusive, then, that the all-round orator must be a sound thinker as well as a forceful speaker. Among those who have been very successful in this field in recent years are the fol- lowing: Mr. Hal Cleveland, who won the medal in Selma in 1910; Mr. C. il. Danelley, the successful contestant in Birmingham in 1911 ; Mr. Robert Carr also won the medal in Montgomery in 1912; Mr. Mabry Dozier, though not the winner of the medal, made one of the noblest efforts ever recorded in the history of the association. He spoke lasi year (1913) in Birmingham, losing the medal to Mr. I. G. Quinn, of Auburn. The college is to be congratulated on its representative to the oratorical meet which will be held in Montgomery in the montli of April of tliis year. Mr. C. A. Haskew, the representative, is an energetic, determined, and forceful orator; and we feel confident of his success. RKrUKSKNTATIVES OF SorTIIEKX UmVEUSHY IX IXTERCOIXEPIATE Oli ATcmlCAV, CoXTEST H. Cleveland C. M. nannelly R, B. Cnrr M. F. Dozier Y. M. C. A. (HE Young Men ' s Christian Association has existed in Southern University for a number of years. Its purpose is to enrich and deepen the religious life of every student that enters the college. This is accomplished by providing a weekly devotional meeting, voluntary Bible-study groups, and mission-study classes. The devotional meeting is held on Sunday afternoon. As much as possible, the stu- dents are used as leaders and speakers in these meetings. Quite often the professors of the college speak, and occasionally an outside man is invited to deliver a lecture on some special theme. The mission-study group is an organized class of students for the purpose of a sys- tematic study of the mission fields. This course may be the study either of the home or foreign land. Usually the leader of this group is one of the professors in the college. T his year Prof. J. G. Godbey, who is Professor of Ghemistry, is leading a group in the study of the problems of Africa. This course has proven a very interesting as well as instructive one. In projecting the voluntary daily devotional Bible-study idea, the Association aims to get every student to give some part of every day to the study of the Bible. At the end of the seventh day the members of the group come together for a general discussion ol the ground covered. This year Prof. P. E. Ghapman, Professor of Mathematics, is lead- ing a class in the study of Bosworth ' s Teachings of Jesus and His Apostles. The work done in tills class has been very gratifying. It is the policy of the Young Men ' s Ghristian Association to take some part financially in mission activities. Four years ago the Association agreed to raise $400 to help place one of the students of our college on the mission fields in Korea. This year witnesses the accomplishment of that task. The officers for the year 1914-15 have been elected. They are: W. A. Eidson, Presi- dent; E. B. Joyner, Vice President; G. E. Avinger, Secretary; and G. W. Segrest, Treas- urer. The prospects for the success of the new year are very bright. It is hoped that the new leaders will have the undivided cor)peration of the student body. The retiring Cabinet pledges its support in every way possible to make the new year the greatest in the history of the Association.

Cornell STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND (HE Student Volunteer Band of Southern University came into being as a response to tlie appeal of a traveling secretary of the general board of missions for such an organized and sympathetic cooperation among the students, looking toward a future missionary career. Southern University has supplied niany mission fields with most worthy men, of whom the Institution is justly proud. But this is the first organization with a definite aim at concerted action that has ever been successfully set on foot here. October 27, 1913, was the date of its initial meeting. Since then weekly meetings have been held. At all of these meetings there has prevailed a spirit of undaunted enthu- siasm, born of the companionship of a great and common purpose. The controlling mo- tive is allegiance to the Christ as expressed in loyalty to the widest interest of the king- dom. Hence Its motto: All for love and nothing tor reward.

It is the consensus of opinion of those familiar with the Glee Club history of Southern University that the club of the present year is the best ever turned out by the institution. Much interest has been manifested from the very start, and all connected with the college, possessing any degree of musical talent, have worked zealously for the attainment of excellence in this phase of college activity. The Glee Club was exceed- ingly fortunate in securing the services of Prof. J. C. Godbey, of the University Faculty, as director. Professor Godbey possesses much musical talent, having studied under the masters of Berlin and Leipzig. Nine members of the club of last year enthusiastically greeted their new leader at the beginning of the year, and it is to his perseverance and untiring eftorts that the Glee Club is indebted for a large measure of its success.

THE TRADITION OF THE OLD NELSON HOME ii a ERHAPS there is no town in the Southland around which cluster more tradi- ' -m w) tions of the bygone romance, chivalry, and aristocracy of the Old South than ll[£Sij Greensboro. In the dear old days before the war, when ease and contentment reigned supreme, when the singing darkies tilled the fertile fields and gathered the snow-white cotton in opulence from its bolls, when stately columned mansions gleamed white among the venerable trees and the prosperous owner dwelt in culture and refinement on his broad acres, Greensboro was even then a thriving little town. But this type of civilization has long since passed away, leaving to the present gener- ation but a few relics of that glorious age. Perhaps the most picturesque evidences of the greatness of those days are the handsome dwellings, crumbling with the lapse of time, though standing among their decaying oaks with the majestic, but melancholy, splendor of the long ago. There was not to be found in the Old South a more elegant and imposing mansion than the celebrated Nelson Home. Far back in a cool grove of fragrant magnolias it stood, with a broad, shady driveway leading up to the white marble steps, where crouched two enormous bronze lions, one on either side. On the roof a tall tower com- manded a beautiful view of the surrounding country. The home was the site of wealth and splendor — a typical example of all that was best and most beautiful in the days before the war. Many are the tales and legends told of this remarkable old building. The very trees seem to whisper to this day the events long forgotten, when people of another day strolled beneath their pleasant shadows. The most interesting of these legends is the one which is related below, and which the old people of this community still remember with a doleful shudder or a sigh of lasting regret. As the curtain rises over the scene of this piteous tragedy, we see the most notable coterie of actors ever gathered in this State to revel in the occasion of nuptial ceremo- nies. The grand old aristocracy, with all its splendor and wealth, had gathered at the Nelson home. From far-away New Orleans the guests came. The Governor himself was present. They had come to witness the union of two of the most prominent families in the South. The bride, as acknowledged by all who beheld her, was the most charming of women — a girl who captured the hearts of men; whose sweet smile was more compelling than the scepter of kings; whose lovely blue eyes were irresistible in their wonderful power: and whose voice, as soft as the Southern breezes, thrilled men like martial melodies. Nelson was the ideal husband for such a lady — a typical young Southerner, tall, strong, with the passionate impetuosity of his race. The blood of the Virginia cava- liers ran hot in his veins, and all the pride, chivalry, intensity of love, and quickness of temper were his by inheritance. He walked with the masterful tread of a man ac- customed to his own way. His flashing black eyes denoted an anger easily aroused, but his perfectly molded features revealed the gentleman of breeding and refinement. It was he who had wooed and won this lovely girl of the Old South; and if the hand of dogged fate had not borne so cruelly at the moment of his triumph, I should be spared at this time the gloomy task of narrating the scenes of a mournful drama, and perhaps would be permitted to turn this story into one of the most beautiful and interesting of old-time Southern love stories. The night of the wedding reception arrived — a soft Southern night in the springtime. when the silvery radiance of a full moon flowed over the land in majestic splendor. The delicious odor of the blooming wistaria and the fresh fragrance of growing grasses were borne gently across the lawn on the pleasant breezes. Everything seemed to b= rejoicing with the happy company at the large house. The mansion itself was a blaze of glory. From every window streamed a dazzling shaft of light from myriads of the purest wax tapers. Out on the broad portico, where only the moon glow fell, handsome men, with beautiful women, strolled slowly up and down, whispering softly and enjoying the charm of the night. Sounds of languid music issued sweetly from the halls of the house, mingled with the subdued laughs of the maidens. All was a veritable picture of enjoyment. Soon the dance began. The music became vivacious, and, in answer to its call, the merrymakers flocked to the ballroom. What a beautiful spectacle! What a scene past description in brilliancy met their sight! All care was banished; all thoughts were centered in the happy present. The ball was on, and beneath the softly shining tapers the daintily slippered feet tripped as lightly over the polished floor as in a fairy dance. Among that throng of magnificently gowned women, none equaled the young bride in her matchless beauty. She wore a dress of spotless white, revealing her dainty figure to many appreciative eyes. How gracefully did she sway in rhythmic motion as she danced the dreamy waltz with her proud and happy husband! Her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling, and her full, red lips parted with intoxicating excitement of delicious pleasure. She was truly the queen of them all. But I must hasten on to those later events which stamped that night indelibly on the minds of those present as one of horror and shocking disaster. And how sudden it all came to mar forever the delicate beauties of that night! No one had ever dreamed that such could be possible. Thus the hours crept on that night to the impending crisis, when the storm was to burst over that merry gathering, unheralded, leaving the death thrust in the hearts of two of its victims. Young Nelson, in the pride and exhilaration of the occasion, had drunk to the health of his lovely wife until he had finally become maudlin with wine. Again and again he and his friends staggered into the banquet room to the sparkling wine glasses, and as many times they returned to the dance hall, boisterous, coarse, and rude under the influence of the intoxicants. The young bride viewed her husband ' s condition with deep humiliation seldom expe- rienced. She could not but feel the effects of his evident neglect and indifference to her, although she realized that the wine lay back of it all. She had now lost interest in the festivities. Yes, she wished that they might end, and she sank wearily into her cushioned seat with tears in her blue eyes. It was then that Howard Randolph, a hand- some young gentleman from a neighboring State, discovered the youthful bride in her seclusion, and requested the favor of a waltz. At first she was inclined to refuse, hut the thought of her husband ' s persistent inattention prompted her to accept. She deter- mined not to allow his disregard for her feelings to interfere with her pleasure. She would be jolly as well as he. So she threw her whole soul into the dance, and talked and laughed with her partner, as though she were the happiest in the hall. Nelson, after some time, returned unreasonable from the effects of more wine. He paused uncertainly on the threshold of the ballroom and gazed at the throng with swim- ming eyes. Far out across the gleaming floor his glance fell upon his bride swinging in the arms of another man, laughing and talking in seeming content and wholly un- mindful of his presence. Instantly his terrible anger flared up. Crazed with drink and jealousy, he sprang quickly across the room, and. seizing his wife roughly by the shoulder, demanded that she cease the dance. A fleeting look of terror for a moment dwelt in her startled eyes and her cheeks paled. A hush fell upon the company pres- ent. All eyes turned on her in her humiliation, and she felt the sting of his insult. Instantly her figure straightened; her blue eyes flashed. Let us continue the waltz. Mr. Randolph. she quietly said. The orchestra resumed with a clash of music. Young Nelson stood for a moment as if stiiniied, then in furious rage, with blazing eyes and heaving breast, rushed from the room. The young wife turned to see his mad exit. She paused, her face paled, and in an instant her love had returned. The outrage was forgotten. She ran hastily out on the portico, and, with outstretched arms, called pleadingly into the dark. Far away from the graveled walk the sound of hurrying footsteps was fading away. The moon was waning toward the west; the night was far advanced. A sharp breeze had risen in the east, bringing with it that chilling effect so noticeable in the early hours of the morn. Far in the distance the tremulous wail of the little screech owl trilled through the stillness with a loneliness that never fails to suggest to one a foreboding of evil. The leaves on the trees fluttered restlessly, as though agitated over some im- pending distress. On the steps of the house the young wife still l ingered, sobbing and calling softly into the night. She would have followed her husband wildly had she not been restrained by her friends. But at last, witli a hysterical cry, she ran frantically up to her room and closed the door. The guests were running hither and thither in wild confusion. The ball came to an abrupt end. The women were frightened and nervous; the men stood whispering in subdued tones. They believed that all would be well when the groom recovered from the effects of the wine; and, with this assurance, one by one they retired to their rooms. The hall was at length left silent and deserted; the candles burned lower and lower; the weary servants dropped into a heavy sleep; and an intense stillness fell over the house. Just before daybreak, when the first faint streaks of gray in the east foretold the coming dawn, a tattered man, with disheveled hair and haggard face, c rept stealthily up the steps of the Nelson home. He looked anxiously about him as he entered the broad door; but the place seemed deserted, except for the servants who were snoring in the hall. A few candles burned weakly here and there, and the flickering shadows lay deep in the corners. But straight up the dark staircase the intruder noiselessly crept. He paused in the upper hall before proceeding, looking slowly about him, only to find that all was still — that he was alone. The light from a burning candle streamed dimly over his pale fea- tures. It was, indeed, the young husband! A terrible look of determination was on his set face. An insane light glittered in his eyes. But for a moment he stood; then to the door of his wife ' s chamber he proceeded, and slipped cautiously in. When Nelson entered the room, a beautiful picture met his gaze. He beheld the fair form of his bride lying sleeping on the bed. Her lustrous hair fell in wealth around her lovely face. One perfectly rounded arm lay across her bosom, and he saw the gleam of the engagement ring on her delicate hand. In the rose glc v of the smoldering wood fire her appealing loveliness was irresistible. For an instant a look of inexpressible tenderness transformed his face. He murmured her name softly to himself, and sank upon his knees in silent devotion. His hands clutched the coverlet convulsively. He admired her every feature. He loved her with a love that would never die except with him. But — alas! — a fearful passion seized him. Had she not rejected him, her husband, that night in the ballroom? Did she net deliberately turn into the arms of another against his firm command: True—too true— she did not love him. She had refused him, and even scorned him in the presence of Randolph. And thus he resolved that though she could not be his own, she should never — no, never — delight another. He had worked himself into a terrible frenzy with these thoughts, and his face became again distorted with anger. He rose to his feet and towered high above the sleeping girl. Then suddenly, in the madness of jealousy and despair, he drew a knife from his pocket and plunged it deep into his wife ' s defenseless bosom. The young woman shuddered at the cruel thrust and opened her blue eyes. She rec- ognized her husband as he gazed upon her, and the luminous glow of love for an instant illuminated her beautiful face. She raised herself in the bed, and pleaded with him to forgive her — to overlook her thoughtlessness of that night and to love her once again. Then, with a last lingering look, her eyelids drooped, a wistful smile dwelt on her pure lips, and she fell back dead. As the young girl became still and the lifeblood drew the glow from her beautiful face, there was a heavy fall in the dark room. Nelson, realizing his mistake and frantic with grief and remorse, had sheathed the knife in his own breast. Without, the day was dawning. The clear, vibrant notes of a neighboring plantation bell trembled on the cool morning air. The full, mellow songs of the slaves at their work came swelling over the hill. All nature was joyously awakening to greet the per- fect spring day. But the dark house was still in slumbers. Its scenes of revelry and happiness had fled with the pure soul of the bride. She was laid to rest with her hus- band the following day in the qiiiet family graveyard, and the guests who came to re- joice went sadly away. A spirit of melancholy and decay settled on the old place, and the mansion was abandoned. To this day it stands lonely and deserted, its tall tower rising gloomily amid the ancient magnolias, a silent reminder of days that have passed. Beneath the weeping willows that sorrowfully droop in the old burying ground are two grass-grown graves side by side, and a single tombstone silently guards the sleep- ing lovers.

The educational sta)ular l.s meet the college require- ments of the National Association of State Universities, of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, and of the Alabama Association of Colleges, of which the institution is a member. The curriculum is high and varied, and the in- struction is careful, personal, and thorough. 2. The ideal of the institution is the development of Chyititian character. It believes that studies are more im- portant than athletics, and that righteousness is more im- portant than all ; and this belief determines its whole atti- tude and policy. 3. The cost per year is very low. Tuition, fees, and board amount to only $200 for the full nine-months ' session ; $150 for the sons of ministers and ministerial students. THE FITTING SCHOOL For the benefit of students who are not yet prepared to enter college, but who desire the advantages of a high-grade preparatory school. Southern University has established and maintains its Fitting School. This school offers a stand- ard high-school course under peculiarly attractive condi- tions. Students of the Fitting School enjoy the privileges of the college gymnasium, library, Y. M. C. A., and all public lectures and entertainments given by the college. At tho same time, they have their own dormitory, where they live together with the Principal and his family and the Matron, and so have the advantage of close association with their teachers and constant supervision by them. The cost is the same as in the college. FALL TERM OPENS SEPT. 9, 1914 Andrew Sledd, Ph.D. (Yale), D.D., LL.D., President Raleigh W.
