Six years ago by o:der of the Southern Christian Convention, the Board of Trustees of the College borrowed $47,700 with which to build a new dormitory for girls and install a steam heat, electric light and water plant for the College. These imjirovements were absolutely ne fssary to the life and development of the College, and now it is equally necess iry that the money to pay this debt be raised before the bonds by which it is secured fall due in 1916. It is a challenge to the heroic, to the loyal, and the liberal spirit of our Brotherhood to do thin great thing. Our people are moved in thi.*! direction as never before and are de termined, by the grace of God, to clear t e institution they love of debt and so en large the sphere of its usefulness and pow r. In this endeavor President Harper in now in the field finishing the work in this regard begun by former President E. L. Moffitt, and is meeting with ni ch encouragement. The Collegi Weekly will carry each week from now on a lis' of contributors to this fund. The plan as outlined at the Suffolk Convention is to gH the friends to subscribe so much a year for five years, thus making the raising o' the sum easy and » response within Ujt reach of all. No worthier cause than thi ever offe ed itself to ■ Ur^re-Ueartod i,d generous i>eople. and the money given to thU end will do good for aires and a'j^s to come. Pledged since Jan. 14, ’12: Wilson, N.

The program for the evening was indeed an interesting one. The first item on the program that de serves special mention was a declamation by Mr. W. P. Smith. Mr. Smith chose as his declamation Licoln’s Gettysburg Address. His delivery was indeed inter esting. And he showed to his fellow- members that he was a faithful worke in his preparation. The next item on the program and the most important one was the debate. Que ry—Resolved, That high license is pref erable to prohibition in regulating thb liquor traffic in the United States. The affirmative argued that if we had high license the poor class of p>eople could not buy liquor and furthermore those who make it would then have to go out of the business. They also argjueJ that prohibition has not succeeded and that there are more intoxicating liquors drunk now than before. The negative argued that prohibitioi. had succeeded. They gave as proof to this, many testimonies of prominent men in prohibition territories. Furthermore, they gave statistics showing that twenty- five gallons per capita were consumed in the wet territory to two gallons to the citizen in the dry territory. The condi tions of the dry town are much better than those of the wet. And that men are buying meat over the counters where they once bought, whiskey. The debate was won by the negative. Best speaker on the affirmative was Mr. Henry Southard. The best on the nega tive was Mr. C. J. Felton; oratorically, Mr. James Allen Dickey. C. S. The ministerial students enjoyed a deeply spiritual meeting on Wednesday. All who attended were well repaid. It was the most interesting meeting we have had in some time. Eleven verses of the fifth chapter of Matthew were read and commented on by Mr. H. M. Neese. The leader handled his subject in a manner well pleasing to all. The boys felt at home in the meeting, consequently the hour closed before every one had his say. But all who spoke showed that they realized that God had a special work for them to do, and that by His help they were going to do it. Twenty-eight young men properly lined up may mean much to Elon and theii country, and most of all, to God. J. G. Truitt. The Secretary of War and the Secre tary of the Navy may be called out to suppress the insurrection of the Postmas- ter-G eneral.—^Balto. Sun. Cookery has become an art, a noble sci ence ; cooks are gentlemen.—Burton.
