Plans for the publication of ,
history of the Southern Conventio'-
of Congregational Christian Church
es were laid at a meeting of the
board of directors of the conven
tion's Historical Society held on the
Elon College campus on Wednes
day. December 9th.
The Southern Convention of Cong
regational Christian Churches is now
in process of reorganization as a
part of the newly-formed United
Church of Christ, the new denom
ination which has evolved from the
combination of the Congregational
Christian Churches with the Evan
gelical and Reformed Church.
With the Congregational Christian
organization disappearing as a sep
arate unit, the group’s Historical
Society has long planned a history
of the Convention, which is to also
embody the history of the Christian
Church that formed the original
denomination in this area.
The historical society directors
ramed a committee of five to i>if'
er and prepare for publication th“
denominational history. This com
mittee included Dr. H. H. Cunning
ham, chairman of the Mon College
history department, who was named
chairman; Dr. J. E. Danieley, pres
ident of Elon College, as treasurer;
Mrs. Oma U. Johnson, of Elon
College; Rey. Harry R. Mathis, of
Henderson; and Dr. William T,
Scott, of Elon College. Certain funds
have already been given for the
work, and the committee was auth
orized to raise other funds.
In addition to planning the prep
aration of the Convention history,
the Historical Society directors also
voted that present historical ma
terial in the possession of the so
ciety and housed in the “History
Room” of the Elon College Library
be transferred to the possession of
Elon College, under the condition
that the college continue the pres
ent function and facilities of the
"History Room.”
The committee meeting here was
presided over by the Rev. J. Frank
Apple, of Henderson, in the absence
of Dr. L E Smith, former Elon
president and the chairman of the
group, who was unable to be pres
ent. The resignation of Dr. Smith
as chairman was accepted by the
conunittee at the meeting, with a
regular chairman to be named
later.

Holmes Uses
Medieval Life
For Lecture
Dr. Urban T. Holmes, Kenan Pro
fessor of French at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel HHl,

Mooney Chapel on the Elon campus
recently, appearing under the Visit
ing Scholars Program of the Pied
mont University Center.
Dr. Holmes began his teaching

of North Carolina faculty at Chapel
Hill in 1925 and has been there

numerous articles for professional

The Elon College marching band, which is pictured above, added greatly to fan enjoyment at Fighting
Christian football games last fall, but it will appear in a completely new role when it transforms itself
into a concert group and presents its annual mid-winter concert on the stage of Whitley Auditorium at
8 o’clock tonight. The program tonight will be the third annual appearance on stage for the Elon band,
and tonight's program promises to be equally as enjoyable as have been the two previous concerts, each
of which have received high plaudits from large cro.vds.
