WHITT Reporters BILL LOGAN, R. E. WEAVER PRESS ON! “There are some men who can obey orders; and there are .some men who can get things done.” Have you tried to solve an algebra problem, remember French “irregu lar verbs, or pass on a hard examination? If you are not a quitter you know what it means to go on. Don’t give up just because you have failed one time, but press on. When one has the determination to overcome fail ure he is on the road to success. Yet, we must have our failures to make us press onward to a higher goal. A man who is resourceful is one who tries to .solve his problem in anoth er way if he has failed the first time. “It is well to know how; it is better ito try> hy trying you Icam how.” All thing.s are accomplished by trying ,for only the small things can be done by rule. “Succe.ss is like picking a lock, not like working an example in long division.” No one learns to speak well, except by speaking, or write well except by writing. One who presses on, even though he has many struggles to overcome; many hardships to endure, and sets his teeth together and says, “I ■wall,” is the person who accomplishes. It is the training and edu cation that we get while doing our work that helps and counts most. After all is is just our determination and zeal that make.s that invisible .something in us want to achieve great thing.s and that Ls possible only by pres.sing onward. “Character is the subjective i-esult of experiment, and success the ob jective result.” Pres.s On! “Go ye Therefore” Y. W. A. HOLDS INSPIRATIONAL MASS MEETING B. Y. P. U. STUDY COURSE GREAT SUCCESS The play, “Go Ye Therefore”, was .splendidly presented by Love Circle to the other seven individual Y'. W. A. circles in a mass meeting on Friday night, October 14, 1927. In the play a gii-1 who had been to college returns to her home town and organizes a Y. W. A. among her friends. It proved to be a great suc cess, and the girls derived much happiness in serving others through this organiza'Gou which previously had been new to them. The officers were greatly encourag ed by the large number assembled, which proved that their efforts in enlistment had not been in vain. One could actually feel the Spirit of Y. W. A. as it was -vividly poi-- trayed in this play. After the pro gram many of the girls gave short talks because it is in Y. W. A. that the girls feel closely drawn together. It is ■thei'e that a real sisterhood spirit is felt; thus the girls feel free to discuss their daily cares and prob lems as one big family. All of the girls returned to their rooms with burdens lightened and new resolu tions nxade to be truer Y. W. A. member.s. Tho.se taking part in the play were: Amanda Springs, Katherine Bennett, Hilda Lawrence, Bonnie Hildebrand, Sarah Blackwell, Irfha Henderson, Thelma Francis, Ruby Fleming, and Eunice Causey. The B. Y. P. U. study course held from October 17-21 reached the high est expectations of the leaders in both attendance and spirit. The attendance and number taking the examination were almost the same. The entire student body is directly responsible for this fine record. They are to be highly commended for the wonderful way in which they co operated with the leaders in making the study course week a great suc- ■cess. Education as it is in the college hall leaves much to the individual. Many of the student’s studies concern humanity and himself indirectly. His tories are the records of dead men; languages are the means by which peoples express's themselves; govern ment teaches the control of human societies, physiology, the structure of the human machine, psychology the workings of the mind and emo tions into human beha-vior; chemistry make.s known to man the elements of which all things are made. Through out all the branches of education, the student is studying men indirect ly in their chosen field of endeavor. But so far as the individual stu dent is . concerned, all this study he must apply to himself. The text book does not do it for him; neither dees the professor.'’ Then to kfiow himself is 'largely self education. This jilaces the most. important and often the' most difficult feat oi' life upon, ■each student;' In' our* emphasis upon studying' other thing.s and other peo ple and other places,'the" .student.has not been instructed, how to study hini- vself. The result is that , he finds no time for this course in “Know Thy-. ■ self.” His curriculum is completed— a most important course is not taken. The result of this neglect is the many who spend four years in college and who do not know what to do -with their lives. They do not yet know themselves; they have not studiea themselves directly; they have not yet found themselves. The realiza tion of which is bewilderment; it is chaos of life just at the time it should be most centralized and cer tain. Like a ship at sea that has lost her direction, it’s lost; and a lost life is a calamity until it has found itself. It is a gi-eat thing to find our selves as a whole. Most students do so during their college course. This is a valuable discovery. He finds power and breadth of mind. He eomes into the possession of personal- ality and culture. But to know your self in the full mea-ning of the thought is to know yourself in the parts as well as in the whole. Life is a personality, a whole, a harmon ious unit, and this harmonious unit is made up of compartments. During college years the student pulls back the curtain of other men’s lives and gets a glimpse of their compai’t- ments and the contents thereof. To make education real the student must get hold of his own curtain, which Shuts him off from the light of him self, in order that he may get a look into his compartments and by so doing find out what his work is. If there is nothing there, he ought to know it. If there is something there, he ought to know it. To be in telligent of others and ignorant of ourselves is not education in its most valuable and needed sense. There comes ’Tiendly Rivals Make Interesting (Jnallenge EUTHALIAN CONTRASTS SPIRI’i WITH EARLIER DAYS The inspirational messages brought during the week to the student body and faculty ■were incentives to all to rise to a higher and nobler standard of living. All are indeed indebted ,to Mr. Morgan and his faculty for the many good things they brought to Mars Hill College campus. Surely such a glorious week of study and training -will bring a rich reward to all participants. Already there seemes to prevail an entirely different atmosphere in the individual unions and in the general assembly. Many -risions have been broadened. Many have caught the gleam. With such marvelous results, it seems that nothing should hinder the B. Y. P. U.’s of Mars Hill Col lege from working unitedly for one great common cause—Christ glorified on our campus. We were interested in the discus sion the Philomatbian reporter gave recently concerning the early his tory of the Philomathian and Euthal- ian literary societies. It is always interesting to know the early life of great men and organizations that touch life with us. According to his account, there is something about ithe early life of the literary societies that is in noticeable' contrast with what it is today and what "we hope for in the future. In reference to the former, rival ry between the societies, th'e’'article said, “Rivalry was keen; . in those days roommates ^ unwilling . to take lip their abode together because one was a '.Philomathian and one a Eu- thalian,’/ This.; sounds .to .us like_ an ex-treme.-. lyi hostile attitude for students .pf the same institution—personal . and la.cldng in Christian. tolerance. We believe and are glad that there are no. students on our campus today who would nourish such an extreme and unchristian rivalry on account of a mere ■ organization—yes, mere in importance if compared with the great virtue of fellow-appreciation. Even though present in a moderate degree, such misappropriated rivalry is hurtful to the student friendliness on our campus, hindering to pro gress, unfaithful to our mother in stitution, gi'ving a literary organi zation procedence over the church; and, though some do not seem to realize it, it is not helpful, but hurt ful to one’s society. It as a sign of weakness in the proponent himself. His organization as a whole deplores his attitude. Has any ndble structure ever been built upon adverse ciaticism? It is an oibs^truction to advancement when given in unfriendliness. Let us live down the obstruction. We are not criticising the early societies, nor un derrating rivalry of the right kind. Has one a right to criticise his father, his mother for his own weak nesses when he can overcome them? We are not boasting ourselves to he above them. We thank God for our noble pioneer fathers who bore the burdens of infant organizations and guided them into channels of smooth er sailing for us. Those channels always headed upstream. They are still headed upstream; and our spirit ual eyes are beginning to see more clearly.

Therefore, education is real only when it co-opera^tes with the needs of the world by co-operating ivibh you in your quest to “Know Thyself.” Miss Howell’s favorite song is: “Oh, How I Hate to Got Up in the Morning.” Mr. Moore: “Um-m, it takes about ten of you to make a hundred in Greek.” “Get out,” said “I’m a dres-sing.” the maynnua’se fellow appreciation. We shall have fallen short of our priidlege if, "with such ideals before us, we do not keep spiritual pace with our intellectual advancement. SUMMARY OF ENROLLMENT The Secretary reports that the en rollment, including the summer school, is 584 as contrasted with 576 at the same time last year. Seventy-two counties of North Caro lina, twelve other states, and three foreign countries are represented.
