already come to know and admire, a full measure of use-
A\'e shall also miss the visits of Dr. Wallace Battle. Field
Secretary of the Institute, who is retiring at this time after
a lifelong service in the educational field. I)r. Battle was
esi)ecially interested in stimulating comumnity supi>ort tor
the various Institute Schools.
Although we expect to close the college .vear jyithout a
deficit, it is becoming increasingly evident thiit St. Augus
tine’s must have a nuich larger income than it wceives at
present if it is to fulfill hopes entertained for it hy its
and those Church leaders who appreciate its n -
lK.rtance in the development of our Churc^i work

Institute appropriation is approximately ‘

The following appeared in the Norfolk Jouniul and Guide,
among the many tributes paid the late Dr. Robert R. Moton,
distinguished educator and former head of Tuskegee In
stitute :
“Rev. Edgar H. (Joold, President St. Augustine’s College—
Dr. Moton was a splendid type of man—wise, able, cour
ageous and sincere. He p>ssessed a wonderful faculty for
attracting and holding attention and good will. In educa
tion he was an outstanding leader; in character, a Christian
gentleman. About twenty-three years ago he made the chief
address at the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of St.
Augustine’s. Both before that time and since he has had
my genuine regard and affection. I feel iiis passing as a
IH'r.'ional loss.”
