26 THE PROMETHEAN THE STUDENT COUNCIL OF MORGAN COLLEGE 1937-1938 V URN ELL LOCKWOOD........President LAURA ROBINSON...........Secretary CLARENCE MAIDEN ..Vice-President EARL JACKSON ............Treasurer The work of the Student Council of 1937-1938 has been to firmly establish the Student Council of Morgan College as a definite, effective, and integral organ of the administration set-up. Having shaken off the lethargy, the present Council has enjoyed a year of successful activity. It would be unnecessary, impossible, and unethical to mention in detail the cases handled, the moves made with a view to the general welfare of the College, activities emphasizing the cultural and moral betterment of the student body, and various other activities in which the Council has been engaged. Let it suffice to say, however, that the Council has handled dis- ciplinary cases well. It has functioned effectively as a means of articu- lation between faculty and students. It has been the official repre- sentative of the student body on various occasions; such as, banquets and forums. It has functioned well in inducting Freshman students into our college life. Notable were the activities of the Student Council during the week of President Holmes’ inauguration. The Council, with the student body as a whole, was the first group to greet officially and pledge loyalty to our President. The members of the Council are to be complimented on the fine spirit and concord with which they have worked. The Council, upon invitation, has participated in discussions and conferences sponsored by other schools. It is hoped that the student body of Morgan College will recog- nize the importance and significance of the opportunity for intelligent self-government and will cooperate with and respect the Student Council of the school as an administrative organ, realizing that it is all for the building of a better Morgan and the preparing of themselves for in- telligent participation in the government of these United States of America. The Student Council of 1937-38 wishes endless success to the Stu- dent Councils which follow.

I N M E M () R I A M To live, To love. To work and play. And then at last When earthly things wear out. To sleep— To sleep the everlasting sleep Of death. We envy you, O sleeping comrade. Earthly, cares are not your own. We must fight for our existence; We must reap what we have sown. You are gone but we remember That you life was short and sweet That your life was short and sweet Someday we may chance to meet. TO Hamilton Miller I n ill George C. Grant, Jr.
