Dickens Marguerite Harris Fred Miller THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK There is no last nor All servicc ranks the same with God first.—Browning. * * * * Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.—Lowell. Every task, however simple, Sets the soul that does it free; Every deed of love and mercy Done to man, is done to Me. —Henry Van Dyke. The light of friendship is like the light of phosophorus-seen when all around is dark.—Crowell. W'liere God is not, peace cannto come; Where peace is not, God cannot come. —Erasmus. “Some of the finest rewards of educational training, in fact, may be derived from a college which does not have too many noses or too many bricks—from what we know as the small college. It must not be too small for real group activity, for abundant competition, for wider contacts. But it must not be so large that the individual student is lost in a vast crowd. In the small college, the student does . not lose his identity or his sense of personal importance or his feeling of personal responsibility.”—Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines, President of Washington and Lee Uni versity. GRADUATION DAY A THING OF BEAUTY Often it has been said by our athletes on their return to Elon that they go to schools larger, and better equipped, but to none that has as beautiful campus as Elon. Some great sage has said, “A thing of beauty is a joy- forever.” If this be true our lovely campus is a “joy forever.” The writer is proud to welcome his friends and acquaintances to the Elon campus. Often he strolls around the campus as the day fades in the West, and tries in his small way to enjoy the beauty of “our campus.” Students, stop often for a few moments and think how fortunate we are to have “a thing of beauty” in our midst. Visit other college campuses and compare them with ours. Then say to yourself “I appreciate the opportunities Elon has offered me.” PRESIDENT HARPER RESIGNS AS HEAD OF ELON (Continued from Page 1) five buildings arose in the place of one and the campus and grounds were so imx>roved that the college becamc "what has not inappropriately been styled one of the most beautiful small college plants in America. In addition to erecting such a modern and commodius plant, Elon has during President Harper’s administration, been admitted to membership in the South ern Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools. Teacher and Writer But President Harper has not, during these twenty years of administrative work, given up his intellectual interests. For all but two years, the years im mediately following the fire, he has taught one or more courses in the col lege regularly. He is recognized as an authority in religious education, in which Held he has written no less than ten books w’hich have been extensively used as college texts in religious educa tion. President Harper has served as presi dent of the North Carolina College Con ference; as vice-president of the Coun cil of Church Boards of Education, and now is chairman of the committee on religious education of this council. He has served as secretary for Christian education of the General Convention of the Christian Church, and now is presi dent of the College Conference of the Congregational and Cliristian Church. He is a frequent contributor to the re ligious press, and rarely does a week pass that he doeft'not deliver an ad dress on some x^ublic occasion. At the commcneenient season of high schools and colleges, he is in special demand. For eight years he edited the Journal of Christian Education, and now is as sociate editor of the Christian Sun and the Christian Union Quarterly. President Harper expects to spend the summer on the Pacific coast and in Chicago. In June he w’ill go to the General Council meeting of the Congre gational and Christian Churches in Seattle, Washington, w’here he will daily conduct a two-hour seminar for a week on the theme, “The Gospel and the Family and Youth.During July and August President Harper will teach re ligious education in the University of Chicago. As to his plans beyond those dates, President Harper said he was not prepared to give out any statement. SMITH AND CAMERON REPRESENT ELON AT THE N. C. C. P. A. CONVENTION (Continued from Page 1) ed to a baseball game between V. M. I. and State College, but the game was cancelled at the last minute. Friday afternoon was given over to tours, and the like.

Saturday morning was given over to business meetings and the election of officers for the next year. The Fall meeting of the N. C. C. P. A. will be held at Duke University. Insurance companies have some un usual claims to pay. A young man was holding a young lady on his lap, had his leg to go to sleep. When he arose the affected member crumbled under him, he bumped himself severely and the insurance company paid the dam age.

Decree granted. ’ ’ When many of the seniors hear the words “Graduation Day” they think of a time when their classroom activities are over, a time when they can lay aside their books and be free to do what they desire. Seniors, tliink of what graduation means to you. Yes, it does mean an acconipli.shment, a long looked for day. But to the more serious it will mean a day when we shall disband as a class, probably never to assemble again with each and everyone there. After all, it will be a sad time when we must tell each other goodin—some for the last time. For four years we have lived to gether, have had our U])S and downs, have fussed at each other at times, but still down deep in our hearts we are linked together as a “big familv," as Elon Alumni. This parting word—ALWAYS RE A LOYAL ALL’MXUS Oh' YOUR ALMA MATER—ET.ON. AIDS TO SCHOOL SPIRIT On Thursday afternoon while the Major baseball team was on a trip into \'irginia, the Clio and Philologian Literary Societies came together in a baseball contest. While there were many errors on the part of both teams, and a lack of star athletes, those who wit nessed it received many laughs and seemed to enjoy the occasion very much. And, too, those who participated in this activity received much enjoyment both in the playing of the game and in competing with the opposing group. Why not have more of such rivalry among the two groups? Wouldn't it increase our school spirit to compete in similar contest more often? Let’s not have fraternity spirit, nor group spirit alone, but let’s have SCHOOL SPHiri', the “ole Elon Spirit.” General Electric Contributions to Health at College at Home at Play a Sunlamps are a popular feature of the swimming pool at Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, N. V. College-trained electrical engineers cooperated with the medical profession in developing G-E products that safeguard health. Notable among these are the x-ray tube, the G-E refrigerator, and the G-E Suidamp. Of these three, the Sunlamp is the latest development, but it has already been acclaimed for its service in helping build that vitality which maintains the happiness of good health. At Cornell University, members of “cold - prevention classes” (under daily, brief, ultra-violet-ray lamp treatments) reported 40 per cent less colds than were reported by class- GENERAL mates in a group without this treatment. Beyond home and college, the use of Sun lamps has extended to swimming pools and indoor golf courses. In the future, you may enjoy the Sunlamp as a standard fixture in offices, trains, clubs, and many other places where people gather. And you may continue to expect new, unusual, and useful develop ments from G-E engineering and re search. Among such products, there will doubtless be further contribu tions to personal health, comfort, and convenience, as well as to the promotion of industrial eiBciency. ELECTMC
