F. S. T. C. VOICE — MARCH, 1947
MAY, 1947
ART PICTURES UNVEILED
(Continued from page 1)
The Thursday afternoon ses
sion was addressed by Dr. S. J.
Wright of Hampton Institute. He
spoke on The Social Implications
of Scholarship. His definition of
the scholar and scholarship was
unique. In pursuit of scholarship
one must have the mastery of the
art of conversation, fundamen
tals of numbers and the scientific
method. Scholarship must be
brought out of the ivory tower
clown to the w'orld of mere. In
action is cowardice. Scholarship
can exist only where there are
courageous minds.
An open forum closed the ses
sion. Dr. R. O. Robinson and
the delegates participated.
'I’here was an educational tour
conducted by the host chapter of
Florida A. and M. College. Many
spots of interest were viewed and
interpreted.
Dr. George W. Gore was the
toastmaster at the banquet held
on the college commons.
The social, sponsored by the
Pan-Hellenic Council, was one
of the highlights of the conven
tion.
Dr. Christian Gauss, President
of the United Chapters of Phi
Ik'ta Kappa, the symbol of highs
scholarship in America, chal
lenged the group to produce
some scholars, America’s greatest
need. He stated that for the first
time in the History of this na
tion. we realize the plight of Am
erican education. We live in a
scientific era but there is a grave
need for training in the human
ities. Man has far more to fear
from the passions of men than
from the convulsions of nature.
Next year the convention will
be held in Scottandvillc, Louis
iana at Southern University.
Our advisor, Mr. W. S. Maize,
is the Xational President of Alpha
Kappa Mu Honor Society.
LARGEST MAN I EVER SAW
(Continued from page 3)
lieve it or not, he w^eighed 71t)
pounds. How' would you like to
weigh that much? Because of his
enormous size, he was almost
helpless. He carried a cane in
order to get around.
W'hen he was born he w^eigh-
ed eleven and one half pounds.
At tw'o, he was beginning to grow
noticeably fat, due to certain
disfunctions of his pituitary
gland. At the age of ten he weigh
ed 375 pounds. He had to stop
school in the sixth grade because
he could no longer w'alk very far.
His only activity was to take
short walks around the house.
Hughes’ father seemed very
kind, as he went on telling the
story of his son, Robert. The doc-
lor said Robert would never be
cured. Robert’s chest span was
one hundred and two inches
across. Around his knees he
measures thirty-three inches. He
is very friendly and cheerful. His
brothers are normal. When Ro
bert gets ready to retire, his bro
thers have to lift his legs into
bed. His clothes are specially
made. His overalls require nine
yards of material, his shirts, five
yards. In spite of his great size
he doesn’t eat anymore than the
average farm boy.

TO MY OLD FRIEND
Sending the same old message.
Quite in the same old w'ay.
Piling wishes on wishes,
All for the same old day;
Pledging the same old friendship,
Toasting the long ago.
Knowing that nothing can equal
The times that w'e used to
know,
Praying the years may bring you
All that I wish them to.
Grasping your hand in memory.
Proudly a friend like you.
