ELON COLLEGE. N. C, OCTOBER 6, 1922
NUMBER 5
OR. SUMMERBELL WILL
DELIVER LECTURES HERE
To Speak on “The Three Modern
Apostles”—Wycliffe, Huss and
Calvin to Be Discussed.
Dr. Martin Sumraerbell will pay his
■annual visit to the college on •October
15, 16 and 17. He will preach at the
Tegular Sunday service, and on Mon
day and Tuesday will deliver three lec
tures.
The general theme of Dr. Summer*
bell’s lectures will be “Three Modern
Apostles. He will preach on the
theme, ‘ ‘ From Glory to G-lory ’ ’ at the
Sunday morning service.
“John Wycliffe, the Morning Star,”
is the subject of the first of the three
lectures. Dr. Summerbell ia an eminent
authority on church history, and his
treatment of his subjects will be of
the highest order. He will speak at
noon Monday on “John Huss, the Re
former,” and Tuesday morning on
^‘John Calvin, the Theologian.” His
careful study of the times which these
men lived and his thorough acquaint
anceship with the motives and influ
ences at work to produce those times in
res.ponse to which these three modern
apostles appeared will add much to the
interest of the lectures.
The series will be somewhat shorter
this year than in previous visits, as
Dr. Summerbell is at this time in the
South attending the American Chris
tian Convention which will begin its
sessions in Burlington on October 17.
Dr. Summerbell is a regular lecturer
at Elon, and his coming means a treat
for the lovers of historical informa-
tidn; He hats a great power of descrip
tion, and his great study in his par
ticular field of comparative religion
and church history makes him one of
the greatest living authorities on the
subject. In his lectures Dr. Summerbell
succeeds in drawing graphically for his
hearers a vivid picture of the times of
which he speaks. Throughout all the
lectures there flows a stream of humor
that lends to them a sparkle and pre
vents dullness which such themes might
presuppose. He spices them all with
anecdotes of the men and personal
glimpses of times and men not to be
gathered elsewhere without infinite re
search.
Dr. Summerbell is president of the
Palmer Institute-Starkey Seminary, and
has done excellent work there at Lake-
mont, N. Y., for a number of years.
He is well known as an author, and
contributes to a number of the leading
religious periodicals.
PSIPHELIANS COmPLETE
DIVISIQNJND ORGAIZE
Membership Arranged in Two
Groups—Much Improvement Is
Expected in Work This Year.
The Psiphelian Literary Society has
completed its plans for division. On
last Monday and Tuesday nights the
two groups met in the Psiphelian hall
for organization.
It has been decided that it was bet
ter to have two groups of the same
society rather than to organize a new
society. It would have been difficult
to arrange a satisfactory settlement for
a new society, and it was deemed wise
to avoid such confusion.
Group One is to meet on Monday
night, Group Two on Tuesday night.
This will enable the society to serve its
members more efficiently, and will ef
fectually avoid any confusion in the
matter of organization.
For many years there has been but
one literary society among the girls,
and as the student body has steadily
increased, it has become practically im
possible for the society to give to all
of its members the greatest amount of
benefit. The girls have long felt that
the society was too large for the best
interest of tlie members, but not until
this year has anything been definitely
attempted looking toward the arrange
ment of this difficulty.
It is believed that the plan arrived
at after much discussion and thought
is the best possible settlement of this
matter, and it seems to meet the ap
proval of the greater part of the Psi-
phelian members.
With this important matter disposed
of, the society in its respective groups
is looking forward to a successful year
of work.
BREVITY IS FEATURE OF
ONLY ONE NEW MEMBER
INITIATED BY SIGMA PHI
J. Oscar Atkinson, Jr., Becomes Afftli-
ated With Greek Letter
Organization.
The initiation of the first candidate
for membership in the Sigma Phi Beta
was completed Wednesday night, when
J. Oscar Atkinson, Jr., became a mem
ber of the Greek letter organization.
Mr. Atkinson is the son of Dr. J. O.
Atkinson, of Elon College. He is the
only member received into the mystic
realm of Sigma Phi Beta since the fall
of last year.
Seven members of that organization
were graduated with last year’s class
and one member of this year’s graduat
ing class failed to return to college to
complete his course.
There are ten Sigma Phi Beta men
this year, including Professor O. H.
Henderson, honorary member. Those
in the organization are Worth Wicker,
W. E. Marlette, W. G. Stoner, G. D.
Underwood, L. J. Perry, C. P. Plynn,
Grady Brown, J. Oscar Atkinson, Jr.,
and Lloyd J. Bray.
JUNIOR-SENIOR OEBATE
SUBJECT IS ANNOUNCEO
Compulsory Arbitration for Pub
lic Utilities to Be Discussed
—Both Teams at Work.
The subject of the Junior-Senior de
bate has been announced. The inter
class forensic contest will center about
the query, “Resolved—That Congress
should enact a law providing for com
pulsory arbitration of industrial dis
putes for the public utilities doing in
terstate business. Constitutionality
waived.”
According to custom the Senior de
baters proposed the question for dis
cussion and the Juniors select the side
which they desired. The Juniors have
chosen the affirmative.
Both teams are already at work on
the subject, and an interesting debate
is cxpected near Thanksgiving.
G. A. Brown, Mrs. E. S. Rainey and
Herbert Scholz will represent the Sen
ior elnss in the contest. This is a strong
team and will moke matters intensely
interesting for their opponents.
W. T. Scott, Miss Lucy Austin, and
G. D. Colclough will support the Jun
ior class in the argument. Two of these
speakers are well seasoned, having par
ticipated in intercollegiate debates last
year. It is believed that they will not
fail to account for themselves well in
the war of words.
The question for discussion is time
ly, and cannot fail to enlist a large in
terest. Both sides will put much study
into the writing of their speeches, and
it is hoped that an open discussion of
such important matters by college stu
dents will in some degree at least aid
in a forward step in the settlement of
these perplexing questions.
J. U. Fogleman, A. H. Hook, and
W. E. Marlette Receive Special
Mention by Committee.
The program in the Phi hall last
Monday night was very short, due to
the fact that so many of the men were
out for the football lecture.
Jasper Apple opened the program
with a brief account of the achieve
ments of the Y. C. C. He was fol
lowed by J. U. Fogleman with a short
talk on the minister’s place in the
community. He believes that the min
ister should be related to every phase
of the community life, and has a place
and part in all the endeavors of his
people.
P. P. Hatley spoke interestingly on
the railroad strike at Spencer. He
spiced his talk with his never-failin,»
sense of humor. He told of the suffer
ing of the strike, and gave a number
of figures that were striking in their
import.
A paper on the life and works of
O. Henry was read by Thomas E. Han-
ner. It was an interesting account of
the North Carolina author, and dealt
with his works in a sympathetic man
ner.
The debate centered about the ques
tion of the President’s right to veto
the bonus bill. The affirmative sup
ported the President in the step which
he took, while the negative contended
that he was not justified in vetoing
the bill. They urged that the soldiers
needed the bonus, and that it was due
them for their services for which they
had not been sufficiently-paid.
The decision committee awarded the
decision to the affirmative two to one.
J. U. Fogleman received best oratori-
cally, A. H. Hook beat on the affirma
tive, and W. E. Marlette best on the
negative.
S. M. Lynam, R. V. Morris, and A. H.
Hook upheld the affirmative, while W.
E. Marlette, R. H. Gunn and J. M. Mc
Adams supported the negative.
Though very brief, the program was
well arranged, and well prepared, con
sidering all the disadvantages attend
ant upon the first programs.
STUDENTS, ATTENTION!
The first football game on the
home field is not long off. We play
Hampden-Sidney October 21. Why
wait until the time arrives to get
the spirit? Take out the little red
handbook now and learn the yells.
LAMBETH’S POND SCENE
OF DELIGHTFUL PICNIC
Faculty Enjoy Weiner Roast and
“ Rinctum-Dinctum' ’—Boating
Is Feature of the Evening.
On Tuesday evening Lambeth’s pond
was the scene of unusual enjoyment.
A number of members of the faculty
hiked out to this familiar place for
the purpose of indulging in a “weiner
roast.” Around the camp fire every
one seemed to be calling for more “hot
dogs” or more “ rinctum-dinctum
which were the favorite dishes of the
picnickers.
As the fire began to die down and
the hunger of the merry-makers had
been sufficed, the boats and the pond
became the attraction. The boats were
assembled and the company spent the
remainder of the evening in boat-rid-
ing.
The occasion was of especial delight,
as everyone seemed to forget the wor
ries and cares of the various college
activities and a care-free air seemed
to prevail.
The party consisted of Dr. and Mrs.
W. A. Harper, Dr. Anna Helfenstein,'
Mrs. Janet Kirkland, Misses Kathleen
Belcher, Mildred Kirkland, Florence
Fisher, and Messrs. G. C. Donovan, B.
W. Everett, O. H. Henderson and M. Z.
I Rhodes.
CABINET INSTALLATION
FEATURES IW. MEETING
Talks by Mrs. Harper and Doctor
Helfenstein Delight Audience
of Young Ladies.
Last Sunday evening dated the real
beginning of Y. W. work for this year.
Miss Pattie Coghill, president of the
Association, took charge of the service
in the chapel and gave a hearty wel
come to all the new girls.
The new cabinet, accompanied by the
advisory committee, occupied the plat
form. This committee consists of Mr3.
N. G. Newman, chairman; Dr. and Mrs.
Harper, Mrs. A. L. Hook, and Dr. Hel
fenstein. These members promised
splendid aid during the coming year,
and from Mrs. Harper’s interesting
talk on. “Girlhood of Today” and Dr.
Helfenstein’s helpful advice of “Ser
vice, ” it is evident that the Y. W.
C. A. has ideals for which to work.
Each cabinet member was formally
introduced to the girls, and following
a few fitting remarks from these mem
bers, Mrs. Newman dismissed the ser
vice with a prayer.
Misses Madge Moffitt, Doris McLean,
Annie Paschall and Fannie Glen Elder
were home for the week-end.
Misses Lucile and Annie Bell Card-
well were in Burlington for the week
end.
EMINENT SPEAKERS WILL
ADDRESS ELON STUDENTS
Dr. Harry G. Rowe and Hermon
Eldredge to Visit Elon Latter
Part of This Month.
MAM AND GOLD SQUAD
OFF TO MIAKE FOREST
Team Has Been Put Through
Hard Practice Since Game
With Davidson.
The Religious Activities Organiza
tion of the college will bring to the
college on October 22, two eminent
speakers. Dr. Harry G. Rowe will speak
on Sunday school work and Mr. Her
mon Eldredge will speak on Life Re
cruit work.
Dr. Rowe is well known in Sunday
school circles. He was for some time
the State Sunday School Secretary for
the state of Illinois, and has been asso
ciated intimately with Sunday school
work for a number of years. Out of
his large experience and intimate ac
quaintance with the subject, Dr. Rove
will bring many helpful suggestions to
the students.
Mr. Hermon Eldredge is associated
with Y. M. C. A. work at Erie, Penn
sylvania. He delivered the baccalau
reate sermon at the college in 1021,
and to some of the Elon students needs;
no introduction as a speaker of power.
Mr. Eldredge has written a good deal
for religious periodicals, and has con
tributed much to the literature of the
Christian church.
His association with “Y” work haa
given him a deep insight into the prob
lems of y'oung men, and has broadened
liis sympathies. He will speak on life
recruiting, and his address promises
to be of much benefit to those who have
not decided definitely concerning the
investment of their lives. Mr. Eldredge
has a keen appreciation of correct val
ues, and his address will give the stu
dents the benefit of his understanding
of life.
After a two weeks’ rest from any
regular contest the gridiron squad of
Elon College boarded the train this
morning on their way to the Baptist
school to engage the Wake Forest fol
lowers in battle. The Christian team
arrived there Friday noon and during
the afternoon did light practice and
signal work to accustom the players to
the Wake Forest gridiron before the
struggle.
Two weeks have elapsed since the
game with Davidson, and this time has
been profitably spent in remedying the
faults of the team which that game
brought out. Hard practice has been
the order on the field and a team much
improved from two weeks ago goes to
face Wake Forest.
From past games nothing can be
judged as to the relative strength of
these two teams in relation to each
other. Davidson defeated Elon 24 to 0,
and Carolina’s victory over Wake For
est by a ,62 to 3 score are the only
games these fwo teams have yet had,
which only show that both teams are
relatively weak when compared with
the stronger teams of the state. How
ever, both teams in their previous
games had opportunity to play only
defensive football, whereas in Satur
day’s game it is likely that each will
have the opportunity to show what
they can do on offensive play. A hard
fought contest is expected from both
sides.
The eightesu men who made the Da
vidson trip, with only one or two ex
ceptions, are on the Wake Forest trip.
It is not likely that Gants or Kirkland,
both backfield men, who were hurt in
the Davidson game, will start at Wake
Forest. It is expected, however, that
they will play one quarter of the gam3.
The line men used against Davidson,
without exception, in all probability
will be started against Wake Forest,
all the line men being in shape to play.
G. Brown, whose injuries in practice
kept him out of the Davidson game,
will be back in the regular line-up this
Saturday.
Wliile the first-string men are engag
ing Wake Forest at the Baptist town,
the Elon scrub team will meet the Oak
Ridge warriors at Oak Ridge. The
plucky team of Oak Ridge last year
defeated the Elon scrub team, and the
scrubs go this year with their hatchets
to bring back the scalp.
