ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD ^ugugtme’g jRecorb Published bi-monthly during the College year at Raleigh, N. C., in the interest of St. Augustine’s College, Rev. E. H. Goold, President Subscription, 25 Cents Entered at the postofiice in Raleigh as second-class matter, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Acceptance for mailing at a special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized April 11, 1921. ENROLLMENT FACTS The collegc? eiirollmoiit at this writing is some ton per cent ovei’ the total enrolhiient of last year, and this increase does not represent the real growth, as it does not take into account the number who will enter at the beginning of tlie second semester. In about the same proportion the freshman enrollment has increased, the total enrollment of that class being 108 at this time. Fourteen states and the British West Indies are repre sented in the freshman class, and ten additional states in tlie other classes, making a total of half the states iji the Union. Some distant states contributing to this array are, California, Colorado, I^ebraska and Missouri. New England is well represented. A feature of this year’s enrollment is the increase in the number of stu dents from certain North Carolina cities, notably Win ston-Salem, Wilmington and Washington. There is also a large re])resentation from Edenton, from whence there has come an unbroken line of students extending back for many years. Rochester, New York, which sent its first student four years ago, is also well repre sented this year. This growth in enrollment from indi vidual cities may bo attributed partly to the interest and energy of certain of our clergy. In this connection special mention should bo made of the Rev. John J. Oreene, in charge of the Church of the Redeemer, Greetisboro, and St. Stephen’s, Winston-Salem, Rev. Oscar E. Holder, ’28, of St. Mark’s, Wilmington; Rev. S. N. Griffith, of St. John the Evangelist, Edenton; Rev. J. U. Brown, of St. Paul’s, Washington, and Rev. E. L. Brown, of St. Simon’s, Rochester. SPECIAL ENGLISH PRIZES OFFERED (Oontinuod from Page 1) It is expected that much interest will be manifested by tlie students and faculty in these valuable prizes, and many students have already signified their intention to ■enter seriously into the competition. Tlie institution is grateful to Dr. Patton and the Institute for this very real contribution to our interest in this important phase of the college work. ARCHDEACON PRODUCES IMPORTANT WORK Ven. Bravid W. Harris, ’17, archdeacon for colored w’ork in the diocese of Southern Virginia, and rector of Grace Church, Norfolk, has published a series of lectures delivered at the St. Augustine’s Conference of Church Workers of 1939, under the title, “A study of ^ Our Work.” The sixteen page pamphlet gives a con cise and interesting summary of the Church’s Negro w'ork, including both a historical synopsis and a survey of the contemporary scene. The pamphlet is well done and contains information which is not available other- waso in any single work. Its clarity and conciseness make it especially valuable for study groups, and it has already been used and highly recommended by the Com- ( mission on Negro Work, as well as by several bishops and other officials and interested persons. Its very reasonable price, twenty-five cents, also recommends it. The Archdeacon’s address is, 322 Kent Sti’eet, Nor folk, Ya. ALUMNI NOTES Edward N. Bembry, of Edenton, N. C., an outstand ing graduate of the class of 1939, lost his life in an auto mobile accident less than a week after commencement. Mr. Bembry was active in extra-curricular interests, and ranked high in his academic work. He was popular w'ith his fellow-students and held the esteem of his teachers. His death not only shocked his friends, but left them with the feeling that a promising career had been cut short. ■ ^ 3H V Mrs. Lloyd !M.
