R ev . James U. K in g , o f the class o f 1902 (Howard), and 1903 Y a l e T h e o log ical Seminary,in his annual letter to his classmates from Y a l e says: W ith a few ex cep tio n s (over which 1 had no control) I h a ve spent a pleasant year, pleasant, not because I h a v e been abundantly and richly ministered unto, but because I h a v e had innumer­

able opportunities to minister unto others; and indeed if a course at Y a l e or any other institution o f learning fits men for anything, it should be to serve men. I absolutely b elieve in possibilities o f my people. W h ile there are vicious and immoral ones among us, as there are in e v e ry race, there are, nevertheless, those among us in whose breasts beat the impulses o f true manhood. And while these few remain like “ le a v e n ” hidden at the very foundation o f the great mass o f ignorance and vice, not forgetting the hearty co operation of the better claas of our white friends, and especially such a type as the 1903 T . S. Class o f Y a le U niversity produced, .there.are bright hopes to the future.”

Mr. John T . Yanderhost was a delegate to the Y . M. C. A . convention w hich met in Portsmouth, Y a .

A t the last meeting o f the T h eo logical L iterary S o ­ ciety the main feature o f the program was a debate on the question: “ Resolved, that the present practice of divorcement is detrimental to the best interests o f s o ci­

e t y . ” Mr. Oldham, in speaking o f he p ievalenc e o f the evil, said that he knew o f a case w here a woman ap­

plied for a divorce because her husband was too good to her. She said that i f she asked her husband for ten dollars’ he would g iv e her twenty, and if she asked the privilege o f a d a y ’s visit, he would say “ W h y , dear, you can stay a m on th.”

Efforts are being put forward for the organization of a dramatic club. T h e matter is in the hands o f a com­

mittee which will be able to make a report ve ry soon.

I f such an organization is established, as it is hoped will be, it will be the first of its kind to exist at H ow ard.

T h e Pestalozzi-Froebel Literary Society is in a healthy condition. T h e meetings are held e v e r y Thurs­

day afternoon in the upper chapel at 2 o ’clock. Yisitprs are alw ays welcome.

Mr.' M. M. Morton, o f the class o f ’04, is holding his own at the Armstrong Manual T raining School, as instruct­

or in C hem istry and B iology. W e wish Mr. Morton con­

tinued success.

Col. B ryan says that Congress is not a fit place for an honest-Democrat. T h e voters o f the country seem to h a ve an idea that Congress is not a fit place for any kind o f a Democrat.
