iHaroon anti #olti VOLUME III BLON COLLEGE, N. C., JANUARY 13, 1922 NUMBERS 16, 17 and 18 CLIO SOCIETY iLDS IIS FIRST MEETING OF TERM Literary Aspirants Begin Spring Term With Enthusiastic Meeting FRANCES NASH APPEARS BEFORE ELON AUDIENCE Well Known American Pianist Gives Recital Under Auspices Of Club In spite of the fact tliat some of the Clios had not quite recovered from the effects of too much Christinas turkey, cranberry sauce, aud locust beer, the first Clio literary meeting for the new year proved to be a good one. Those who served on the program undertook their duties with enthusiasm, and some very pleasing selections w^ere rendered. Perhaps the best feature of the program was the debate. The query w^as: Re- —That the United States should cancel the European war debts of 1914- 2918^—a problem which has beeu puz zling the minds of some of our greatest statesmen and financiers. It was ap parently settled without great difficulty by the debaters of the evening. The i affirmative contended that economical ly, socially, and morally, cancellation of the debts w'as justifiable and advis able. The negative argued that cancel lation was not a sound business propo sition, and in the end w’ould not prove beneficial to either the United States or the European nations. The program for the evening was as follows: Reading, C. W. Dunn. Poem, Archer Farmer. Discussion, ‘‘The Advancement of Education and Science,’’ C. P. Farmer. Debate. Query: Resolved—Tliat the United States should cancel the Euro pean war debts of 1914-1918. Affirma tive, W. C. Elder, E. C. Brady, J- O. Atkinson, Jr. Negative, H. T. Crockett, E. S. Rainey, E. C. White. Messrs. Rainey and White were volunteer de baters for the negative. The decision committee rendered the following decisions: Best speaker on the affirmative, E. C. Brady; best speaker on tlie negative, E. C. White; best speaker oratorically, W. C. Elder. The critic for the evening reported that the program as a whole was very good, and especially commended the de bate speakers for the affirmative. On Friday evening, January 6, Fran ces Nash, the well known American pianist, api>eared in recital in the Col lege Auditorium, under the ausx^ices of the Music Lovers’ Club. Miss Nash, who is a remarkably in teresting and intelligent young woman, has a very strong personality. Her technique is superb and her interpreta tions very artistic. The program which slie presented was a most taxing one, and left nothing to be desired. Her reading of the Franck number was very scholarly and proved her mu sicianship, for even the musically uni nitiated listened in breathless silence^ May Night, Palmgren and Claire de Lune, Debussy, were bits of loveliness which brought up visions of the roman tic long ago, when courtiers and their ladies wandered in the beautiful gar dens by moonlight, and the Dance of the Elves, Sapelnikofi’, and Etude en forme de Yalse, Saint-Saens, w^ere so exquisitely and delicately done that the artist was recalled time and time again and finally responded with Leschetiz- ky’s Arabesque. Schumann’s Arabesque and the stir ring Polonaise in E major by Liszt, which were very brilliantly played, clos ed a recital which w'ill live long in the memories of all who were present.

HARPER ENTERTAIN HONORED GUESTS Frances Nash, during her recent visit at Elon, was the guest of President and Mrs. Harper. Miss Nash, w’^ho is really Mrs. Watson, being the recent bride of Major Watson, of the U. S. Army, was accompanied to Elon by her friend, Catherine Kemp Stillings, violinist, whost studio is in New^ York City. In honor of these two distinguished visitors President and Mrs. Harper en tertained the young faculty in what I proved to be the most elegant social I function of the year. Tlie residence was decorated in pink and gold for the oc casion, which color scheme w^as main tained throughout the elaborate five- course dinner. Courses were laid for twelve. Tlie following shared the hospitality and good cheer of the occasion: Frances J^ash, Catherine Kemp Stillings, Mrs. Catherine Sturm, Misses Marian Corey, Florence Fisher, Stella Hendricks, Ruth Hawk, Mildred Kirkland, Anna Mary Landis, and Professor Edwin M.

I am the daughter of an |lnglish peer. H^—Not so fast. I am the son of an American doc.—Wampus. Basketball Coach—‘'Here you, don’t flo that—use your head!” Little Green: ‘ ‘ Oh, is that allow^ed ?' ’ Elon students extend a cordial wel come to Miss Marion W. Corey, who comes to Elon to succeed Professor Gil man Floyd Alexander in the department of music as Director of Yoice. Professor Alexander, wlio has been a member of the faculty of this institu- , tion for several years, retired from the faculty at tlie beginning of the year in order to take further training. He plans to spend the next year in study in Philadelphia under Horatio Connell, one of America’s greatest opera sing ers. ;Miss Corey, who succeeds Professor Alexander as Director of Yoice, is a native of the State of Massachusetts, and a graduate of the noted Arthur J. Hubbard, of Boston, one of the best vocal instructors in America. Miss Co rey will instruct in the department with Miss Florence Fisher, who has been a member of the faculty for the past tw'o years, and is also a graduate in voice under Hubbard. Elon is especially proud of its depart ment of music, and has always been fortunate in securing a staff of talented and well trained singers.and musicians and capable teachers for the depart ment. Miss Corey comes to Elon wdth excellent recommendations and confi dence is expressed in musical circles that she will creditably fill the posi tion recently vacated by Professor Al exander. The Fleming H. Revell Company, New York and Chicago, lias recently ptub- lislied ‘‘The Church in the Present Crisis,” by Dr. W. A. Harper. The book retails for $1.75 net. “The Church in tlie Present Crisis” is the fourth volume of the “New Time” series. ‘‘The New Layman for the New Time,” “The New Church for the New Time,” “Reconstructing the Church,” and “The Church in the Present Crisis” have all been published by the Revell Company. The series will be completed when “The New Minister for the New Time” appears. Br. Harper has filled this last book brimful of new ideas. He has stated in a clear, vigorous style the duty of the Church in tliis time. His argument is logical and liis conclusions are Pane and progressive. Dr. Peter Ainslie stands in the gate way of the book and opens its pages to the reader. “The Church in the Pres ent Crisis” is a plea for the unity of believers and a message of brotherliood. Dr_ Harper stands for a four-square Christianity, nnd the stress is laid on the social side, wdiich has been much neglected in the rounding out of Chris tian thought. The author undertakes to show' the demands of brotherhood, and presents in a gripping way the so cial Christianity. Dr. Harper is a real optimist. He does not fail to see the faults of the Church and unhesitatingly points them out. His criticism is, however, very constructive. He sees not only the fault, but the remedy as well. From the very first sentence of the foreword to “The Church in the Pres ent Crisis,” in whicli Dr. Harper says, “Something has happened in the w^orld, ” through to tlie last w^ord, it holds one like a novel. The sliort sen tences pulsate with life and meaning. The book is filled, not wdth new truth, but with new applications of the old (Continued on Page 3) Some Students Fail To Return —Many New Ones Enroll A dropping off in the student attend ance is noticed for the second semester. Quite a number of students did not re turn after the holidays, and, although some new' students have entered, they have not been sufficient to bring the number up to the fall term enrollment. While the enrollment for the fall term w^ent well over three hundred, for the present term it has fallen a few helow' the three hundred mark. How ever, there are a few* students yet to return, and it is expected that the en rollment for the spring term will finally reach three hundred. The new students who have enrolled for regular or special work are Misses Irene Dean, Maude Gatling, Catiierine Cutting, Fern Lashley, Nellie Lawson, and Messrs. C. W. Hook and F_ B. Cor- boy. Those not returning are Messrs. Lane Atkinson, John Brooks, Alplieus Brown, F. M. Cheek, J. J. Davis, J. P. Graham, E. A. Kemp, W. Y. McIntosh, T. B. Mellette, Paul A. Penny, R. C^ Self, J. D. Shaw-, and A. B. Williams, and Misses' Huldah Frederick, Lida Hoover, Rose Maynor, Lula Overton, Sallie Sue Smith, and Viola Suits. REFLEX ACTION “I wanted to kiss Janet last night, so I tried some psycliology.” ‘“Did it work?” “No; I gave her the stimulus, but she reflected too much.” TELEPHONE INSTALLED IN Y. M. C. A. HUT As a further improvement to the “Y” hut at Elon, a telephone has been installed. This is a much needed im provement, and will be a great conven- ence to the boys, both for local and long distance calls. Heretofore it has been necessary to go either uptown or to the girls’ dormitory to make 'phone calls. Some of the improvements upon the “Y” hut were mentioned in a former issue of Maroon and Gold, and the boys feel now' that tliey have, indeed, the best equipped hut in any college in the State. (Editor’s Note.—As a further proof of the convenience of the te1ei)hone, it is now' possible, by the expenditure of a nickel, to call the college dining hall, in inclement weather, and learn if meals are ready to be served, thus avoiding an uncomfortable wait outside the dining hall.) CAMOUFLAGED He picked it up at a swell garage, And thought liimself so clover To buy a car so cheap—and found ’Twas his old one painted over!

C.j W’as a visitor on the hill last Sat urday. Trinity is tlie former location of Trinity College, now located in Dur- liam, and Mr. Brooks is teaching in the building formerly occupied by the col lege. He reports great i:»leasure in fol lowing the gentle art of i')edagogy. During the fall semester Mr. Brooks was Advertising Manager for Maroon and Gold. He made one of the best advertisting managers this paper has ever had, more advertising being sold during his connection w'itli the paper than during the same period of time un der any one of his predecessors. The student body regretted to see Mr. Brooks leave, but send w'ith him their best w'islies for a great success in his work. In the first game of the season the experienced Durham Y. M. C. A. bas ketball team defeated the Elon quint on the home court by the score of 48 to 27. Witliout doubt this game on Tuesday night was one of the fastest and most interesting games ever w'itnessed on the Elon court, in spite of the wide difference in the final score. Swift and hard fought, and featured by clean playing and the sensational passing of the Durham aggregation, with accurate shooting, the game will be remembered as a superior brand of basketball. Spick and span in their new uniforms tlie Maroon and Gold squad threw every ounce of their strength and skill into the game from the very start, w'ith the result that Elon took the lead in scor ing. A few points lead w'as held by Elon until the last few minutes of play of the first half, when Durham came from behind and forged ahead, the first half ending 25 to 20 in favor of Durham, In the second half experience told for the Durliani players, and they con tinued to increase their lead until the final w'histle blew, ending the contest at the 48-27 mark.

DOCTOR LANKFORD TO HOLD EVANGELISTIC SERVICES A series of evangelistic services be gins here Sunday, January 15. The ser vices w'ill be conducted by Rev. G. 0. Lankford, D. D., of Burlington, N. C. Dr. Lankford came to the Burlington pastorate last spring, and has since tliat time had some relations with the col lege. Dr. Lankford was graduated from Elon in 1907, and since that time has been an active minister of the Chris tian Church. It has been some time since an alumnus of the college has conducted the evangelistic meeting, and Dr. Lankford will be especially wel comed for that reason. The Religious Activities Organization will lend its assistance to tlie services, and a successful meeting is earnestly hoped for. PROFESSOR ALEXANDER IS A VISITOR ON THE HILL After spending a few days at Elon, Professor Gilman F. Alexander left Thursday for Philadelphia, where he purposes taking further training in voice under Horatio Connell, one of America’s greatest singers. It will be recalled that in the last issue of Ma roon and Gold the temporary retire ment of Professor Alexander from the faculty upon leave of absence w'as an nounced. Professor Alexander, who has been Director of Voice in Elon for the past few years, is a talented young singer, cordially liked by both faculty and stu dents; and it is with genuine regret that liis departure is announced—even temporarily. His return next fall is eagerly looked forward to by everyone, and in the meantime he is wished the greatest success by his friends in this institution.
