They gave the campus and raised a half million dol lars to move the Seminary to Decatur. Then it was seen that that had not been enough. There was still a debt of something over two hundred thour ^ sand dollars. A campaign was held] 1h Atlanta to try to wipe out this debt.' Approximately half of the amount' of the debt was rai.sed, yet the cam paign must not be thought of as a failure. The Presbyterians of Atlan ta, in spite of the period of business Ilepression, rallied nobly to the cause. The debt has not been wiped out, but the lazy colon.

Meanwhile Dr. Melton Clark, professor of English Bible and vice-president of the Semi nary. is acting president. At the end of the last session Prof. Hunter B. Blakely resigned his chair as professor of New Testament liter ature and exegesis. Dr. Blakely had] .served well and had endeared him self to the hearts of all his students, but the call to return to the pastorate was too strong to be resisted. He is now pastor of the First Presbyterian* Church of Staunton, Va. Rev. Sam uel .A.

One of the interesting features of this year’s session will be the cele bration of the centennial of the So ciety of Missionary Inquiry. This Society hat been responsible for pro moting missions for a hundred years now. It was founded in a period when mi.ssionary interest in the Church was practically non-existent. Its members have been largely responsible for shaping the missionary policy of the Southern Presbyterian Church. Many of the Church’s most useful mission aries have come from this Society 1 from the days of the first student’ president, J. Leighton Wilson, on.
