THE NEW COLLEGE SPIRIT
Nov/ trends in education bring
about new friends .and new Intel4
pretatiens of life, especially amonK
the students of today who live
and study in a college town. - J
There is a new spirit?a cooper
ative spirit and an exchange in
ern college that were uncommon
20 years ago.
The Alumni of Allen University
have organized a "drive" to assist
the ministers of the A.M.E
Churches in South Carolina raise
|30 ,000 for-the library building,
which President McG-ill plans to
erect on the campus o? the college
next summer.
The President of the State Alumni
of Allen is Principal J. T.
? W. Mims-of the Negro-high school
at Clinton; associating Mr. Mims
are many men and women fully
capaoic of carrying the building
fund program to the people regard
less of race or denomination. The
Alumni Association of Allen has
planned to raise So,000 of the $30000
over a iperiod of six months.
Just what are the plans, in detail
-we do not know?but wo do know
that the meeting closed Saturday
with much enthusiasm, and the
indications are that the Alumni
will present a real report when th#
----- roll is called.
There is a cooperative spirit he
tween - Allen and -Benedict.-In fact
the twrt schools seem to represent
one college system.
j?? ?A-graduate nf Benedict remark"
ed recently that there are many
men and women of the Baptist
churches in South-Carottna who
w-ill help the, leaders: in their efforts
to raise money for the new
' library at Allen. Yes, they Will,
and there are many who will; Allen
leaders may count on men like
H. II. Butler of Hartsville, C. A.1
Lawson, of Sumter, A. A. Sims,
of Union.,a host of ministers and
many friends in the great Baptist
Brotherhood, who will lend a hand
In so worthy a cause as the erection
of a library building on Al-j
len's campus. |
And it all gTows out of the new
College Spirit which has been so
well established and so beautifully
maintained between the two colleges.
OUR STATE COLLEGE
- AT ORANGEBURG ?
Presdent Miller F. WhittakeY,'
of the State A. & M. College at
Orangeburg has made a request
of the Budget Commission - for
' $321,000 for the 1939-1040 allow |
ance to be used for maintenance
and permanent improvements in
the future plans for the development
of State College for next1
five years. This request is expect-1
ed as the State's allowance in a1
five-year period. In this program
three units?the Athletic Field,
the Wilkinson Library, new dormitory,
Miller Hall. Mechanic*
Arts building, are near completion.
The second year of the five
i year program calls for the erection
of a Home Economics huild
ing another dormitory and a
laundry.
President Whittaker's request la
timely and meets the urgent needs
of State College in its growth as
one of the leading land grant col"
leges in the South.

SOLITUDE I
Do you ever crave to be alone:
Have you ever been to the place
where you just didn't want to be ,
with anybody or see anything.? |
tired of everything and every- j
oody? If you have, that is only ,
the soul's cry for a quiet hour? | "i
% few solitary moments, a timeToT]
find itself. " (
Go to your room sometime in
the middle of the day, perhaps,)
;lose all doors, lower all the shad-!
es. Slip out of your apparel; hop'i
in bed. Stretch out. Close your' '
eyes and forget.
The goblins of bedlam and con-!
iuaiuu vvni try to ui, in lawi ;
they often slip in with you and ;
if you are not very good at forThe
President has simply asked
the lawmakers to assist him in
his program of expansiin, and
his program of expansion, and
be congratulated. He (knows jyhat
is needed. He knows what shouldbe
given immediate attention, and
he has made the request. l_
"Negro leaders in the" various
counties can lend some aid to "Dr.
Whittaker by qonta?ting their
County delegations in behalf-of!
-the?recast.?Thia,?if dene with
tact and common sense, will help
_greatly. We hope the time is ne?L
at hand when a" modern Teachers'i
College" wHl be built on the cam-1
pus at State. The School of Agri i
culture is now outstanding and
its nvny agricultural Vforker?
have done much to improve thV}?
economic conditions among Negro,
planters in South Carolina.
A Teachers' College will paral
lei this unit in usefulness, pres-|
tige and?service in many ways |
This may be, at present, a dream;but
we beleve somewhere in the
pre-meditated thoughts of. Presjj
dent Whittaker's mind.is such a
concept. If we pull with him In his
present endeavors it is hard to
guess at this writing the many
fine pl&ns he has yet to advance
in making the State Agricultural
and Mechanical College a State
Universi.ty for Negroes.
