By Dr. L. C. Dickinson
Generally speaking a guest
columnist at Elon receiving the
editorial command to “compose
a few paragraphs upon any topic”
would find himself in somewhat
of a dilemma and would be com
pelled to spend some time in the
selection of the very best possible
subject. Such is not the case how
ever at this time to one who has
come to love and esteem Elon
very greatly and who holds her
interests to be of prime impor
tance. To such a person what

Dr. Holland Holton, head of the

Dr. Holton brought up ques-

Their line was paced by. Jack

except for their tie with New
