WELCOME TO CHAUTAUQUA
A-L-U-M-N-I n-o-t-e-s
MY FELLOW ALUMNI
While the students are widely scattered and most of the faculty
away in special study at various universities, nevertheless Maroon
and Gold, speaking for faculty and students, is bringing out this
number as a hearty welcome to the Summer School and Chautauqua
to be held at Elon July 25-August 6.
Knowing the value to student life of the religious opportunities
offered by the college through its splendid Christian Education
Building, we in welcoming the young people and leaders of the
church to the campus at the same time congratulate them upon
the fine privileges they will have for most thorough instruction and
amid surroundings that are ideal in their physical appointments.
We students are proud of the Christian Education Building and of
the distinction that it gives our college to have the first building- of
this type on an American college campus, and the benefits that come
to «s ffom it during nine months of the year we are happy to share
with the leaders of the church and the young people who will gather
here for the Summer School.
We wish every one a happy two weeks of agreeable association
and profitable study and we feel sure that this happy result will come
from the perusal we have given the program that is laid out covering
instruction, recreation and inspiration. We congratulate the town
of Elon College, too, on having such a group with such a program
come to it, and we predict for the Summer School every good suc
cess.
If we may be pardoned a suggestion, we would be glad for our
own faculty members to have part in this Summer School in the fu
ture and we would be glad, therefore, to see the Summer School come
early in June or late in August, if it is possible for the leaders to ar
range it so.
The average American youth doesn’t realize what a good time he is
having—the summer camps for instance. School might seem a grind
now, but you are grinding it or it is gi'inding you into some kind of
a future. Why not shape yourself into a finished product, so that
when you leave your Alma Mater you can demand a job, not have to
hunt it?

A letter came in the other day from our “Campus Cat” Editor, and
he wished to inform the world that the crabs were still crabbing, and
also that the fish that he was catching were really no fish story.
—EC—
The Maroon and Gold staff has
given, us a corner in their paper to
keep filled of the current happenings
of the Alumni. It is up to us as to the
success that shall be derived from it.
Shall we let it stand blank ot use it
in a -way that shall keep us in closer
touch with each other, to cement that
good will and fellowship that existed
in our four years of college life? Why
not each of you send in, some time dur
ing the year, a short article concern
ing your werk or anything of interest?
Elon’s students are a large family, and
a message from you will be of great
interest to all the others.
Why not join with the Maroon and
Gold staff and make this the best year
in the history of the Maroon and Gold?
Will you do' your part? Let us not fall
short in a thing so vital to our school.
