CAMPUS MANNERISM
"0 the heart of a friend is a mar
velous place.
Where one finds contentment and
peace;
Where the grasp of the hand shows
that you understand.
As the blessings of friendship in
crease.”
Open Forum Debate
\"es, the heart of a friend is, in
deed, a marvelous place; and this
place in the hearts of a friend lies
as unclaimed territory for those who
will reverently enter. To enter the
hearts of men and comrades does not
retiuire an ostentatious exhibition of
prowess and courage, for only ipe
ficil .lies could, qualify', but tO tl|o.so
who are enamored of “friend.shlp,'’
the most sacred of all moral bonds,”
there, eome.s the call of simple tmst
ami fidelity. To walk side by .side
with a comrade through cri.ses of ,ioy
as well as sorrow, to feel the desires
and an.xiet.ies of his soul, to hear
the heart-throbs of enthusiasm, and
to grasp his hand with a kind of
friendly understanding only demand.'
that we yield to the impulse of love
and reverence.
l.s a college campus an appropriate
and desirable place to get in close
contact with our neighbors, or should
we wait to meet and learn them in
the ai'ena of life after the college
days have pa.s.sed? Doubtless every
college man must decide questions of
more or le.ss importance for himself;
among those ((uestions, 1 believe,
comes the one of making friends
while in college. On our canipu.'
there is a tendency towards the
ca.'ual and perfunettory greeting; and
it is very seldom that we grasp the
hand of a clas.s fellow and give him
a bit of encouragement for the work
he is doing or for the effort he is
putting forth in the accomplishment
of some ta.sk. Of all the places
where one is in danger of falling
into mechanical mannertsms tow'ards
his neighbors, the present-day college
campu.ses certainly pre.sent the great
est peril. We have specific examples
rill about us which will verify the
truth of this .statement. To greet
a person is to give him an expre.s-
sior. of our kind wishes both in word
and in action. The custom .seems al
most to have lost it.s originality in
the chaos of college activities hero,
and at other institutions. Do we
i-eally have a .sensation of hearty
good will and wi.shes for our com-
I'ade as we chance to meet for the
first time in the beginning of each
new day?
Yes, the college campus is an ideal
.spot for the making of life com-

One of those beautiful days of
May, after I had walked down Prado
Lawn, I stood in the Central Park.
For a moment I was unconscious
of what was going on around me.
Nature was mystic and mysterious,
I thought 1 was living not in
terrestrial world, but in a celestial
mansion. But as I lifted, my eyec-
I saw that clear, blue sky, arch
celestial of the Pear of the Aantilles
dream of the romantics, inspiration
of the poets. I saw those majestic
royal palms, honor of the Antilles,
symbol of immortality, moving their
fronds to and fro as the smooth
breeze blowed. I heard hundred-
of birds singing like cherubs. I
smelled the balmy perfume of those
aromatic flowers that only the trop
ics can produce. I heard the mur
muring stream in the fountain. 1
contemplated crowds of little girls
playing on the lawns, happy like
angels.
But of all the things I heard,
saw or contempalted, nothing af
fected my heart more than to see
the statue of the master Marti. In
hat moment of e.sthetic rapture, 1

j the Apostle, engraved into that cold,

ALFED CARLTON COMING
On the 16th and 17th of this
month we are expecting to have
on our campus Mr. Alford Carleton,
a repre.sentative of the Student Vol
unteer Movement for Foreign Mis
sions. Mr. Carleton is a graduate of
Oberlin College, he was a member
of the Cosmopolitan and Dramatic
Clubs while a .student in that col
lege, and has since been for three
years an educational worker in Tur
key. Therefore he is able to in
terpret missionary work out of very
vivid first hand experience.
Hi.s u.sefulness on our campus de
pends largely on the preparation we
can make before he comes.
repre.sents saw'. the sun of liberty
rising for a nation of slaves.
To me it was alive. I saw’ that
small body holding up an erect
head, proportionately large. On his
broad, open forehead, I saw the
signs of his greatness—an inspired
poet, an eloquent orator, a superior
master, and a tireless patriot. In
his calm and penetrating eyes, I
saw- the purity of his heart and the
'convicion of his ideas. In his
aquiline nose, the Roman w-ho pre
ferred to be dead than to be a
slave. In his well formed lips, hall’
covered by the mustache, I saw- the
firmness of his character. And in
his massii^e I” .saw ahe litie.'^
that .show' his internal suffering.
In the whole, I saw- the father of
a nation in that man, .small of
body, but great in spirit. I saw j
that man w'ho sacrificed e.state,)
friends, home, family, and life for
his country. I saw' the man whose
person is reproduced in a cold mai'-
ble, but whose sacred ideals were
fai' beyond description, and that
.should be followed by all good
Cu.bans.
Roy Heaton w-as lost. He had
not been seen since the early after
noon, and his parents were almost
hysterical. The neighbors took their
lanterns and guns and began a
search through all the surrounding
country. They called, fired guns,
built fires and searched. But it
seemed of no avail. Late at night
an encouraging cry resounded. He
had been found within sight of the
house.
Roy Heaton was lost. His parent.s
seemed not to nund at all. The
neighbors made no inquiry. They
took no lights, sounded no alai-ms,
sent forth no signals. Yet he i.s
lost, within sight of home, aud un
less he is found he may die within
sight of home.
Daily he sits at the table at home:
he performs certain chores; he goes
to school, recites and plays'with his
fellows. Yet he is lo.st.
He looks into the face of his
father, but receives no guidance. He
stands listening to two men who are
Christians. They do not help him.
They seem not to realize that he is
lost. He works with one of them,
but .still no word.
Is it po.ssible that he can be losi
in .sight of home and perhaps die
there with no one who is interested
enough to guide him to the Chri.st ’

On Sunday evening, March 4, the
regular preaching hour was devoted
to the collection section of the
church. Some very inspiring talks
were made by four .students about
the work of the Centennial Cam
paign.
Charles Maddry was in charge of
the service, and his simplicity , and
naturalness of manner gave the l ight
atmosphere for the speakers.
The subjects were well chosen and
followed each other in a unifying
way. They were as follows;
Christian Education According to
the Scriptures—Ruth Jarvis.
' A Brief History of Chri.stian Ed
ucation in North Carolina—Nathan
Brooks.
What Christian ' Education Has
Meant to Me—Edith Hayes.
