MEMHER Meeting Attracts Many Science Authorities Dr. Warner of the Department of Biology recently presented a report in chapel of the 103rd an nual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This report brought to the student body the under standing of the manner in which the work of the scientist, both big uid small, in all fields is carried on. Being a member of the A. A. A. s., Dr. Wagner has participated in its previous activities and has therefore been able to present a full picture of the organization. The association contains many subdivisions of specific organiza tions covering all fields of science. The more outstanding men of science are elected as “Fello'ws.” This meeting in Richmond was typical of the association’s annual meetings. Eminent men of sci ence like Sir Richard Gregory of Great Britain, and Dr. Berkhoff of Harvard University were lead ers and guest speakers. Throughout the day technical meetings were held by various groups. Members could attend any of them. . Likewise there were exhibits of every description. Anyone who has done enough research along a definite line could speak before certain meet ings and present his findings. These papers were later judged ami a prize of $l,000.0(f was of fered to the best. Besides the technical and scien tific meetings, Dr. W'agner point ed out the social functions of the Various groups were f .iOntri* and receptions. At i. ontact* with prominent m' '■ made possible. Dr. In- m:.-, ibe authority on photosyn thesis, was among those at her dinner table. Contacts with such prominent men were of great val ue, as were the reunions with old friends who were met at previous conventions or in some phase of previous scientific work. These reunions sometimes became more important than lectures or tech nical meetings. Further entertainment of con vention members Was furnished by trips to American Tobacco Company, Phillip Morris, Southern Biscuit Company, Dismal Swamp, historic W'ililamsburg, and other places of interest.

OLIVKU JOHNSON Mrs. C. L. Coon Makes Gift To The Library Helps In Enlargement Drive For Books The standard requirement of the State Board of Education is that all school libraries have a mini mum of 12,000 books by February 1, 1939. Our library at the pres- ent has 11,403 volumes. It is in creasing daily, and the librarian is confident that the goal will be reached. Mrs. Charles L. Coon has recently made the very gen erous contribution of 250 volumes, a few of which are duplicates. She is also planning to give a few more to the college. These books were taken from the collection of her husband, who was at one time superintendent of schools. Others who have helped to reach this goal are Mr. Marsh- burn, Mr. Perry, Mr. Scarboro, Mr. Cooke, and Mr. Ware.

This year the party was held at the new Wilson armory on Dec. 23. i The parents of the children at- j tended the party and seemed to i enjoy it as much as any of the children. First the children sang Christ mas carols, and everyone joined in to give the familiar songs a true spirit of ChristniaB. After the singing, Mr. Barclay told the children the Christmas story of Tiny Tim, which the children never seem to tire of hearing. Then the children were given presents individually, donated by Atlantic Christian College stu dents.

This idea was put into practice several years ago and it has been reported from various sources that it was a great success. Al though it has not been suggested for two or three years the Juniors feel that with the support of the student body and with the co-op eration of the faculty it can be done so as to afford real enter tainment to the student*. Coach Herring has been ap proached with the idea, think* it a good one, and promises to get a team from the faculty and coach it. A representative of the class has been appointed to see Mr*. Hodges, but as this goe* to pre»s no response has been received. We feel sure that Mr*. Hodge* will do her best to gather and coach a team from the women of the faculty. A complete li*t of the member* of both team* will be posted as soon a* the two coaches can begin to whip the players into shape. There will be a small admUsion fee which will go to pay for the annual Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior das* will appreciate the full *upport of the »tudent body. Come out and we promiae some grand entertainment and fan for all. AWKH FI TUELI. t v. , State Ministers Convene Here For Session 'I'o Help In Securing Books For Library On January 5th, the ministers of the Christian Churches through out North Carolina were invited to a luncheon at the Bert Hardy Memorial Hall.

Ijiter in the afternoon a bu*i- ness meeting waa held, presided over by Dr. Jenkins, chairman of the Library Committee. Dr. Jen- kin* is head of the Department of Engli*h here at the college. Presi dent Hilley presented the present library problem before the meeting. He pointed out that there was an urgent need of some 2,000 books in order to completa the necessary number of 12,000 so that the college can maintain this library standard of the Southern Accredited College*. Dr, Hilley asked the eo-operatlon of the min isters, and through them, the co. operation of their home congrega tions. Since the college is main ly church-supported, the necessity of the cooperation of the church members was *tre«*ed. The purpo*e was readily en dorsed and adopted by the min ister* present. Among the minister* of eastern North Carolina present a* gue*t* of the college for this occa*ion were: John Barclay, W. H. Brin son. Inland Cook, Z. E. Deshields. Olix Fox, John L. Goff, C. B.
