We can all mark our matricula
tion cards “Bought and Paid
For” now.
The joy of meeting again re
moves the last trace of sadness
which the parting of three months
ago left.
The last few days have seen a
real portrayal of the Elon spirit
in the true ring that goes with
the words, “Glad to see you.”
September 1st, 1925
To Dr. W. A. Harper, President,
The Faculty, and Students of Elon
College, on the Opening Day, 192o,
Greeting:—
I congratulate all upon the com
pletion o'f the New Buildings, the large
Hegistration, and the opportunity that
opens to you as the dawn of a bright
day. Every addition of material im
provement suggests and demands in
tellectual and moral improvement. Even
better clothes require better behavior.
Larger opportunity demands larger
effort. If people do not live better in
better houses, then better houses have
no value.
1 may not be up-to-date in all the
requirements of modern education, but
it seems to me that the future will
not be satisfied with past means, man-
nei'S, and morals. Unless you make
progress, voTi will be left behind in the
race, for the age in which j'Ou live is
advancing. The world is now on wheels,
and it requires skill to steer your ma
chine. My aspiration and prayer for
ELON is, that her STUDENTS, excel
in beliavior, character, scholarship, and
social standing. This ideal will demand
all the personality, faith, study, and
consideration for others that you can
command and it must all be operated
by ceaseless energy.
Very sincerely your friend,
W. W. STALEY.
We all thought last spring that
commencement was meant for us,
bvit it seems that we had hardly
commenced enjoying vacation
when we were confronted with
September second.
WELCOME
The ilaroon and Gold is espe
cially anxious and glad to take
this means of becoming personal
ly acquainted with each and every
student who has come to this seat
of learning. We are glad that
you are here. Your smile is wel
come, because we know it means
that all is well with you. Your
very presence is welcome because
we take that to mean that you
have faith in our Alma Mater.
To the faculty, the Maroon and
'Gold is over-anxious to extend the
welcome hand, because past ex
perience teaches us that you are
always ready with kindly censor
ship or with warm praise. We
know that you are an integral
part of the paper and that the
paper is a part of you. We hope
to serve you better this year even
than we have in the past and
know that increased efforts along
this line on our part will bring
increased efforts on your part to
serve the paper.
To the old students, it is un
necessary for the Maroon and
Gold, to say more than just "Glad
to see you,” because to the true
Elonite that carries all that the
words, friends, comradeship and
school spirit mean. W e hope to
mean as much to each other as
we have in the past.
The Maroon and Gold would
like to personally impress each
and every one of the new stu
dents with the fact that we are
really glad that you are here, and
with the fact that this is your—
vours to use to elevate Elon Col
lege to the permanent place in the
firmament which is its rightfully
expectcd place. We know that
vour short stay at the College has
showed you why we love the
place and why we are always glad
to get back. If you have not yet
discovered this, we only ask you
to bear with us a week or two
more and we are sure that the
Elon spirit will take possession of
you and will have an abiding
place in your mind.

Last spring we were all very proud
of our pretty green grass on the camp
us and it seemed that we had so much
of it that it had come to stay. But,
lo and behold, the incoming hord of
Fresliiuen with their nttendant verd
ancy has put tlie poor grass to shame
and now it seems that w'e will have to
wait until those Freshmen have been
“normalized” by the Sophs until we
have- the grass with, us again.
—0—
Speaking of the Freshmen though
isn’t it funny how quickly they have
become thoroughly familar with tlie
Sophomores? Indeed, some of them had
barely arrived on the Hill when some
Sopliomore had proclaimed him to be
a special friend, of his. That is a very
commendable spirit.

Since becoming Business Manager of
the College, Doctor Amick has adopted
a war cry which, if put into words,
would be sometliing on this order:
“The Slacker Shall Slack No More.”
And w^e are indeed impressed with the
fact that he intends to make that
reality and not just an expression.
—S—
The football man is a hero in every
body’s sight but the man who has to
wait on his table.
Tt is understood that there will be
several new faces in chapel this year
from among the uppci* classmen.

AIRPLANE VIEW OF ELON COLLEGE
Among the largest one-man shovels in the world is this
electric giant engaged in open-pit mining on the
Mesabi Range in northern Minnesota. It picks up eight
cubic yards of iron ore at a gulp, which it dumps into
a waiting car.
In every branch of mining
operations G-E equipment is
very much in evidence. And
there are engineers of the
General Electric Company
especially assigned to mining
problems and requirements,
just as there are others special
izing in all major applications
of electricity.
A new series of G-E advertise*
ments showing what electricity
is doing in many fields will be
sent on request. Ask for book

A day’s work in a minute
Mesabi Range, renowned iron ore deposit, is yield-
ing its mineral wealth at the rate of 16 tons for every
bite of an electric scoop.
A man with a shovel would work a whole day to mine
and load eight cubic yards of iron ore which this
300-ton electric giant moves in one minute.
Of course, all mining is not done on the surface. But
there are many mines in which electricity has changed
our conception of mining operations. Wires, pene
trating even to the deepest shafts and galleries, have
brought light, power, ventilation and added safety to
those who must work in the very bowels of the earth.
Electricity’s contribution to mining may be of partic
ular interest to the student of mining engineering, but
it is of general interest to all college men as still another
example of how electricity is simplifying the world’s
work.
