While here Wednesday Mr. Folger in
terviewed a number of students, in ad
dition to meeting the Y. M. C. A. Cabi
net and speaking to Prof. Van Cleave’s
Class in Ethics. The Cabinet feels that
this gentleman’s visit would have been
very much worth-while if he had done
nothing but attend that one meeting.
The Ethics Class really enjoyed the splen
did talk which Mr. Folger made to them.
After an interview with Mr. Folger, Flick
Johnson, President of the Senior Class,
signed up an application for entrance to
the Graduate School in June. If ac
cepted, Mr. Johnson plans to remain in
the Graduate School until he receives his
M. A. degree.
We hope that there will be others, both
boys and girls, who will place their appli
cations with the Graduate School for the
summer at Blue liidge at least. Mr. K.
P>. ITook was our only Elon student at
lilue Ridge last summer. There have been
several in the past, however, among them
being Misses Graham and Birdie Rowland,
Un(h and Rosebud Kimball, Alma Roun
tree, Caroline Powell, Susie Elder; and
>fessrs. Dale Sanders, J. Paul McNeill,
George Kelly, Wayne Snow, and Frank

self as believing that Elon is now facing
a new day. He advised the students to
keep their eyes wide open in order that
their preparation may be filled with the
best things for the development of true
leadership. He insisted that we be care
ful to observe, so that we might be better
fitted to meet any opportunity which
might present itself to us.
Among other visitors at Elon during

Knighton Bloom, AVashington, D. C.; Dr.
.1. Edward Kirbye, Raleigh, N. C.; Mr.

son College and Yale University, and for
the past fifteen years connected with the
Y. M. C. A. Graduate School at Nashville
and Blue Ridge, visited our campus .Wed
nesday, as is stated elsewhere in this
paper .
Wc were delighted to have all these dis
tinguished visitors, all of whom expressed
themselves as favorably impressed by the
College. "We are always glad to have
visitors and try to make them enjoy being
among us.

Each person has a character either good
or bad. The same is true of a college.
Do the president, the dean, and the facul
ty build the character of a college? Yes,
to a certain extent; but it is you and I,
tlie students of Elon ,College, who play
the greatest part in the building of its
character, for it is in you and me that the
real Elon exists and not in these beauti
ful buildings which are made of insensi
tive materials. They can never utter a
word nor perform an action, either vile
or noble. They are only temporal dwell
ing places. Your life and mine, taken as
a unit, form one great soul, which is the
soul of Elon. A soul that is immortal.
And the life of our college is your respon
sibility and mine. The kind of reputa
tion that she bears is your responsibilty
and mine.
Our faculty and college officals, taken
as a whole, are men and women of Chris
tian character. AVith the cooperation of
the student body our college can be an
ideal place, but before this can be real
ized each student must assume his or her
personal responsibility.
What is your influence on the lives of
new students and on the lives of visitors
who come to our college? Do they feel
after meeting you that they have met
with real worth-while folks? Do they car
ry away something that will enrich their
lives or do they go away filled with dis
appointment and disgust because of some
action or speech they have seen or heard.
We are making Elon what it is. My
conduct and yours reflects on our college
as much so as it does on our families.
Our honor is Elon’s, and our shame is
hers. So—
‘If you wi.sh Elon were better,
Let me tell you what to do
Set a watch upon your actions
Keep them always straight and true.”
The responsibility of the Elon students
is a great and very real one—that of liv
ing up to the college’s motto, “Christian
Character First and Always at Elon.”
It is our responsibility because we owe
to the students who are yet to come to
Elon a clean, healthful atmosphere, one
that will inspire and bring out the best
that is in them into a full and happy
life. Today you and I are creating this
atmosphere and setting moral standards
by which they will measure. If the
“smart set” on the campus, so to speak,
make heroes of the “rough necks.” the
entering freshmen are going to do the
same, even though they can’t quite under
stand why it should be done. If the girl
on the campus who can curse the loudest
and longest and smoke the most cigar
ettes per day is popular in the social ac
tivities, aspiring freshmen girls are going
to follow her example. Anything to win
popularity!
Not only are we debtors to the future
students but to those men and women
who have come within Elon’s portals and
have gone out to flll places in the world.
They love Elon and have fought bravely
to secure for her the honor that she de
serves and has borne in the past, and we
have no right to blemish and deface their
works. Elon’s reputation reflects iipon
them in the daily walks of their lives.
Also, the character and reputation that
we are making for Elon reflect upon her
faculty and president. Just as parents
are judged by the conduct of their child
ren. so the officials of our college are being
judged by our conduct, to a certain extent.
They are our benefactors, all of us must
agree, and we can show our gratitude to
them and to the alumni in no better way
than by living true Christian lives. They
ask for nothing better.
Again we are debtors. When the op
portunity to enter college was presented
to us we became greatly indebted to so
ciety. We, as college men and women, are
going to play influential parts in setting
standards for society. In the past the
outstanding members of society were those
of noble birth and wealth. Today educa
tion tends to hold a higher place than

man who is looked-up-to by the masses.
And the question arises, what is our in
fluence going to be? Will social stan
dards be raised or lowered by our activi
ties. As we go out into the ministry,
teaching, and into other fields of activity,
we are going to meet and deal with peo
ple. Their lives are going to be made
better or worse by having met us, and
our influence will not cease with them
but will be ijassed to succeeding gener
ations.
A real responsibility is yours and mine!
So let us cooperate in building for Elon
a character so splendid and mighty that
men will rise up and call her blessed.
