Reid For our readers, we wish you a happy vacation, one and all. Seniors, may success always be yours. Underclassmen, we* hope to see you in .September. Let’s finish the race. So this is not bye-bye—just “Au Revoir.” —EC-- THE DUKE SCIENCE BUILDING We arc certainly fortunate that B. N. and J. B. Duke were born in North Carolina and that they were born with g-enerous attitudes toward their fellowmen, as well as endowed with the ability to develop the natural resources of their native section and thus to amass great fortunes. Elon College is particularly for tunate that the mother of these two splendid captains of industry was born in Alamance county. It is certainly fitting that the county which gave Mrs. Duke birth and in whose soil she lies buried .should be the site of a memorial to her. She was certainly a queenly W'oman, as anyone who looks up on her portrait as it hangs on the ’UN6 hup!

At Vanderbilt University ho played quarterback on the football team under the famon southern coach. Dan McGuigin. In addition to' his college athleti playing record Coach Walker has bwn in professional baseball for six seasons four years with Wilson Bugs of the Virginia league, one year with the Eochester club of the Tnternational (league, which team was managed by George Stallings who piloted the Bos. ton Braves to a worl.I’s championship in 1914. and one season with the Nor- folk club also in the Virginia league. His coaching oxpcrienoe consists of seven years of successful work in hig), school and college sports, which include tlie Roanoke. West roint, and ColumKa high schools in Alaliama, and Howard College and Atlantic Christian College. In all his coaching work he has had charge of all three major sports and has been equally successful in them all. each jiublication and enable us to improve on it. Let's plan to go to State and Meredith next fall. -EC- PROPOSED “PUBLICATION FEE” Lion College is now a member of the .Southern Association of Colleges. We are an A grade col lege and rank as equals of any col lege in the state. We should have publication that ranks well among other publications. How ever, this is impossible until some S3'stem of finance is agreed upon so that the students will subscribe to the paper one hundred per Eleven of the publications, walls of the Science Building ,1, ^ c i j- dedicated to her must inevitably'eadmg col conclude and, when you look up on her noble sons whose portraits flank hers on either side, the con clusion is likewise inevitable that not only did they have a queenly inother but that their father must have been a prince among men. Persons who are better quali fied to speak have already spoken at the dedication servicc about the place of this .Science Building in the program and curriculum of our college. We can only sav that students and faculty and all interested in Elon College alike are deeply grateful for the . gen erositv which made the Science Building on the Elon campus a living witness to love for mother on the part of distinguished and grateful and generous sons. —EC— THE N. C. C. P. A. MEETING We enjoyed every minute of our stay at N. C. C. W. during the meeting of the N. C. C. P. A. We found both the N. C. and G. C. girls very pleasing, hospitable, and entertaining. They left no stone unturned in their endeavor to have us enjoy our visit and they succeeded admirably. These meetings, where members of all the colleges of the state, come together to discuss various pro blems and to become better ac quainted, are very beneficial to all concerned. They bring out the weiik and the strong points of leges of the state, are financed by a publication fee. How can we, in a small school, expect to run a paper on popular subscription when even the larger schools who have so many more to subscribe have a publication fee? Then if we are to compare with other schools, if we are to have a paper that will tell the other schools, the prospective students, the faculty, alumni and other friend? what we are doing, vv'e must have some aid. Judging from the other schools of the state the “Publica tion Fee is the logical aid. There fore Trustees, Faculty. .Alumni and Students, to you we appeal for a “Publication Fee.” —EC— THIS YEAR S PROGRESS 'I'his, the year of 1926-27, has been a very successful year. In September we had a large Fresh man class and they began real work in good time. Although our football season was a failure .so far as games won are concerned, we must remember that'we play ed the “stift'est” schedule that an Elon team has ever undertaken. Taking this into consideration, our record was very good. Last all we became a member of the ‘.\ssociation of Southern Col leges.” This was a great step forward and Elon is to be con gratulated on becoming a mem ber of this association. At Christ mas there were only seven flunk ed out in comparison to twelve last year. The librarian reports that the library is being used far more than at any other time. The basketball season was a success as we won more than half our games. The baseball team gave a fitting climax for the athletic season in winning fourteeti out of eighteen games played. This is the best record that an Elon club has ever made. H'he men are to be congratulated. Students and faculty have seemed to under stand each other better. There has been less friction than at any other time. The atmosphere and “feeling” have been conducive to better work. The Senior class is the largest in the history of the institution. Then athletically, scholastically and socially, we have enjoyed the best year that Elon has had. With this progres sive spirit we are expecting next year to exceed this one. >; |“The Campus Cat”| ♦!
