Alumni Of S South Hold Group Stresses Aid To DI Of Ideals To Colleges I A regional me%ting of 60-odd r colleges and universities closed Ti son hotel on the note that "the E schools until the people generall what it takes to have them." It xneeting ever held. This opinion was expressed by Robert F. Whitaker, alumni director of Emory university (Atlanta), who made the final address of the two day conference. Keynote of the final day's session was a discussion of how the alumni I' offices of the colleges can aid in the national defense effort. "Spike" Saunders, of the University of North Carolina, described a state-wide pro gram for building civilian morale. Other college officials repurted that i all graduates in the armed forces a were being furnished college maga- ( zines free of charge. Viewpoint of the defense discussion was that "Southern colleges will co operate with Uncle Sam in whatever is asked of us." Mr. Whitaker said, "We cannot but admit that we pay intellectual tribute to other sections. To my mind, this c condition exists because the great ma jority of our people do not know what a really first class college is. t "Ideals are the most practical thing on earth and the colleges and univer sities once again must start 'selling' their ideals and objectives to the gen eral public," Mr. Whitaker asserted. Other features on the program Tuesday included a group meeting of alumnae secretaries of women's col leges in the Southeast, led by Miss Frances Ribble, of Alabama college, and a similar men's group session led by Victor M. Davis, of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. During the morning sessions Miss Clara Byrd, of J e the Woman's college of the Univer- ; sity of North Carolina, gave a sur- t vey of college alumni publications and brief talks were given by Miss Mae < Grimmer, Meredith college; Ches Ab- i ernathy, Jr., Emory university, and John C. Warr, of Berry schools (Georgia). "Cy" Young, alumni secretary of Washington and Lee university, in a I speech to the group. officially known as district three of the American Alumni council, stressed the viewpoint that a college institution "owes an obligation to its former students" and emphasized that an alumni secretary "becomes in a general way for the alumni what the dean of students is to the students." Mr. Whitaker, in analyzing the higher educational institutions of the Southeast, said, "Colleges and uni versities in the Southeast, while not inferior, are poor insofar as their phy sical equipment is concerned as comn pared with the institutions of the East and the Middle West. In my opinion, this physical deficiency causes a gen eral lagging in the quality of the work our institutions of higher learn ing are performing. There is no ap preciation on the part of a large frac tion of our alumni of what academic freedom and intellectual leadership really mean." Tuesday afternoon meetings of sev t eral alumni groups of out-of-state colleges took place, among them a ses sion of alumnae of Agnes Scott col lege (Decatur, Ga.) led by Mrs. Nelle Howard, alumnae secretary, and of .the alumni of Emory edby Prof. W. W. Weber, of Columbia. .Ralph Lewis, alumni secretary of the University of South Carolina, was host to the two-day convention. -Next meeting of the council will be held ,next December ini Winter Park, Fla., at Rollins college. John Crews, president of the Uni versity of South Carolina Alumni as sociation, was a guest at the lunch eon.

Smith, professor of cology, recently told of some of the ctivities carried on by the Carolina ;eological Society at its annual meet rig in Asheville, N. C., Nov. 15 and 6. Professor Smith attended the :athering and reported it as "fairly uccessful." On Saturday the group motored to lifferent localities around Asheville here they studied deposits of Vermi ulite and Olivene. "Vermiculite," said Professor Smith, 'is a mica-like mineral that is heat reated andoused as an insulator and ound absorber. It is strategic and s now being used by the govern nent in connection with national de ense. Olivene, although not being nined to a great extent, is quite Lbundant through the mountainous egions of Georgia and North Caro ina. It is a source of magnesia." Dr. Smith obtained a specimen of iyalite near Bakersville, N. C. This nineral is phrosphrescent when placed inder an ultra-violet light. An old nickle mine at Webster, 4. C. was also visited by the society, nd Dr. Smith also obtained several ypes of minerals from that arca. On Sunday he visited the B. S.

The widely-known Australian ex plorer-meterologist, who is famous for his Arctic explorations, explained briefly to the University students his work in the Arctic and termed his "adventure" there an economic mete orological experiment. He explained the possibilities of forecasting weather conditions by careful study of atmospheric condi tions of the far north. In conclusion Sir Hubert said that he hoped that some day droughts, floods, and weather conditions in gen eral could be correctly forecasted and far enough ahead to allow the peo ple to be prepared.
