RELIGICDU i EMPHASIS Dr. Merrill Proudtoot again brought attention to Knoxville with his Project Friendship, which won the admiration of President John F. Kennedy who pointed to Knoxville as the citadel of intelli- gence when ignorance and bigotry characterized other pcirts of the South, especially Birmingham. Typical of the younger participants in Project Friendship were Matthew Long Ill, 2V2, and Paul Bacon, 4V2. These young men from the James Weldon Johnson YMCA of Jacksonville, Fla., have visited the campus dur- ing Thanksgiving for two consecutive years now. Thomas B. Hargraves, '51, second adult from left, is Sec- retary.
