Do not bother about the lack of rhyme in Walt Whitman's poetry, for it possesses the rhythm of parallels of the Psalms of Isaiah. One of Walt's best poems is his allegory, "Passage to India." This, . in Dr. Sledd's opinion, is one of the finest allegories· in the English language. Another one of '\Vh.itman's fine poems is "The Mystic Trumpeter." A noble poem is "When Lilacs Lost in the Door-Yard Bloom'd" is the 'English master's opinion. There were only two p'oets who wrote poems of note about the Civil War, and these two are Henry Timrod and Walt Whitman. "Cavalry Cross- ing a 'Ford" and "Beat! Beat!

He cited "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" as a fine tribute to the mocking-bird. Another class of poems that Whitman wrote were poems about himself.

Wake Forest Has New Postoffice Building 760 Boxes, Fireproof Building, All New Equipment, and Town Very Proud The new Wake Forest postoffice of· ficially started functioning Sunday, May 1, after moving into the new building which has been completed. The new mail station has a capacity of 760 boxes and is all fireproof. The postoffice has been operating very suc- cessfully in the matter of distributing the mail to the proper person.s after the new box,es were assigned. Wake Forest has waited many years. for this building, and the town now has a building to be proud of. There are very few towns of the size of Wake Forest that can boast of as fine a postomce as Wake· Forest. We feel sure that this new postomce will' fill a long-felt want for a modern postoffice in Wake F{,rest. "Sprock" Duckett gave a very inter- esting talk on "Changes, Chemical and Otherwise," as did Irving Biggs on "Neophytes." The latter brought out the attitude the fraternity takes to- ward new members, a:n.cl the attitude the new members should take toward the fraternity. All of the guests made brief re- marks. Dr. Kitchin spoke on ""he Relation of Chemistry to Medicine." He stressed the need of a complete academic 6 course, preferably four years, before entering medicine. Dr. Carpenter emphasized choosing the right profession: in his remarks. Dr. Taylor also spoke on "The Im- portance of Chemistry in Medicine.'' Professor Lake made the closing re- marks. The delightful banquet, as served by Mrs. Shearon., consisted of straw- berries, olives, pickles, chicken au gratin, peas, potatoes, hot •rolls; cof- fee, salad, saltines, pickles, ice cream, cake, punch,· and smokes. · All who a,ttended the. banquet were unanimous in their praise for the eve- ning's entertainment. Probability of 1,000 Students; Faculty for Summer School Unusually Strong As announced recently by Dean Bryan, the Wake Forest Summer School of Law will open on June 7, and the regular summer session on June 13. It is apparent from the num- ber of applications on hand that this suminer will see the largest and most successful summer school ever con- ducted at Wake Forest. Already the Bostwick Dormitory has been filled, and more than half of the rooms in Hunter have been reserved. Applica- tions have, to date, been received from the following colleges: Chowan, Guil- ford, Meredith, N. · C. C. W.,. Coker, G. W. C., Winthrop, Averitt, Peace, St. Mary's, Furmal,l, George Peabody, Pineland, Wingate, Campbell, and Mars Hill. It is evident that there will be an unusually large number .of girls in attendance this summer, which will aid greatly in making Wake Forest a profitable and attrac· tlve place in which to spend . the summer. The growth of the Wake Forest Summer School has been remarkable. Its enrollment has increased from 220 students in 1921 to 875 in 1926, and in all-probability the 1927 session will see over 1,000 students registered. Only courses having the largest ap· peal are offered, and credit for. these courses may be had at less than ·one· half of the cost · of the same work during the regular sessions. The faculty for the Summer School -continued on page 4. Dr. Sledd Gives Talk To Journalism Club Speaks on "The Individual in Journalism," Giving Editorials Special Consideration On Wednesday evening the Journal- ism (;lub .. had· ibe--unusual p}elfslil'tl' ·of having Dr. Sledd give an ,interesting lecture. Using as his subject "The In- dividual in Journalism," Dr. Sledd traced briefly the history of journal· ism with special attention. to editorial writers. He said that· there were none evm· so individual as Addison and Steele, the great forefathers of newspapers. Dr. Sledd then went on to show how, with the rising of the dailies in Eng- land, the impersonal element gradu- ally crept in, and newst>apers were now recognized as expressions of parties or special organizations. In the course of his speech l1e paid special tribute to Mr. Godkin, once editor of the Nation, stating that it was this man who originated the idea of writing editorials that·were divided into clear-cut and almost impregnable paragraphs. Dr. Sledd said that he was forced to C'onfess that there was not but one good editorial writer in North Caro- lina today, and that our State is in great need of a strong daily. But he seemed to think that our State· is not by itself in having but few good writers. "There is one man on the Times staff that really writes some strong, sweeping editorials," Dr. Sledd stated. After paying honor to Bennet, who was at one time with the Herald, the speaker gave an interesting accoun.t of William Allen 'Vhite. editor of a little weekly in Emporia, Kansas. "This little ·weekly is closely watched by the best of our journalists from one end of America to the other," stated Dr. Sledd. Mr. White is author of the great book, "A Certain Rich Man." In his concluding remarks to the members of the club, Dr. Sledd urged ----------------------------+ STUDENT COUNCIL MAKES ITS RECOMMENDATIONS Class of 1927 Numbers One Hun- dred and Eighteen; sonnel Given In June, when the curtains ot com- Recommendations for Class Rep- mencement have fallen, one hundred resentatives for Council and and eighteen men will have attained Legislature Given one more loop in their ladder of life; they will go out into the business The Student Council met on Wed- world of today to pursue their specific nesday evening and made its recom- mendations for the representati-ves from the different classes.

In a few montlis the cam- pus life will be an even.t of the past, and then the graduating class of '27 will help roll the· mighty wheel of business on to success. For many nights the members of the graduating class have burned the midnight oil; and now, at the end of their college career, they will receive the long- sought-for degree in return for their faithful toiling. · Three men who had already received their B.A. degrees were not satisfied with that meager knowledge, so they took up post-graduate work; an.d now, at the close of the term for'1926-'27, they will receive their M.A. degree. Out of the one hundred and eighteen members of the graduating class there are forty-four candidates for the B.A. degree, forty-seven candidates for the B.S. degree, seventeen for the LL.B. degree, four candidates for the M.A. Med. degree, and three candidates for the B.S. Med. degree. The total num- ber of candidates for degrees this yea-r are eighteen more than the candidates for degrees last year. The graduating class of '27 is a class that will always be remembered. They have been regular occupants of the classrooms; they have assumed the lofty position. of 'seniors, with pro- found respect from the other members of the student body; they have held this position 'varrantable.

At the time we went to press only meager details about: the affair could be had, but it was reported that sev- eral fine speeches were made, the cap burning ceremony, and a sermon preached by the well-known very much "Dizzy" Wilcox. We are glad to see the class of '29 come forward with such an open. and broadminded policy and we are sure that nothing but good (in the largest sense) can come from ·it. Upon hearing these recommenda- tions, these candidates were asked to retire in order that other nominations could be entertained from the ffoor. Mr. G. N. Ashley, President of "F" Union, and Mr. J.

QUINTET OF FEMALE HIKERS ARE PUZZLE TO:WAKE 'BUMMERS'

Five Young Girls Take Courage

to IDke From Southern Pines ;>-' • to Portland, Maine

(By Elbert MacMillan) Wake Forest College students, them­

selves considered rather proficient in the gentle art of bumming, on last Saturday morning lost a good deal of confidence in their abilities in this field, and had to concede· the victory, in daring and all-round pluck at any rate, to a quintet of attractive young female hikers from Southern Pines, who .declared their intention of hiking to Portland, Maine; and, what is more startling than that, of sticking to­gether during the entire trip.

at Shearon Club Tuesday

The Gamma Sigma· Epsilon Chemi­cal Fraternity held its annual spring banquet last Tuesday n.ight at the Shearon Club. The guests of the eve­ning were Doctors Kitchin and Car­penter and Professors Taylor and Lake. Doctor Nowell served as toast­master.

Wake Forest Has New Postoffice Building

760 Boxes, Fireproof Building, All New Equipment, and

Town Very Proud

The new Wake Forest postoffice of· ficially started functioning Sunday, May 1, after moving into the new building which has been completed. The new mail station has a capacity of 760 boxes and is all fireproof. The postoffice has been operating very suc­cessfully in the matter of distributing the mail to the proper person.s after the new box,es were assigned.

Wake Forest has waited many years. for this building, and the town now has a building to be proud of. There are very few towns of the size of Wake Forest that can boast of as fine a postomce as Wake· Forest.

We feel sure that this new postomce will' fill a long-felt want for a modern postoffice in Wake F{,rest.

"Sprock" Duckett gave a very inter-esting talk on "Changes, Chemical and Otherwise," as did Irving Biggs on "Neophytes." The latter brought out the attitude the fraternity takes to­ward new members, a:n.cl the attitude the new members should take toward the fraternity.

All of the guests made brief re­marks. Dr. Kitchin spoke on ""he Relation of Chemistry to Medicine." He stressed the need of a complete academic6course, preferably four years, before entering medicine.

Dr. Carpenter emphasized choosing the right profession: in his remarks.

Dr. Taylor also spoke on "The Im­portance of Chemistry in Medicine.''

Professor Lake made the closing re­marks.

The delightful banquet, as served by Mrs. Shearon., consisted of straw­berries, olives, pickles, chicken au gratin, peas, potatoes, hot •rolls; cof­fee, salad, saltines, pickles, ice cream, cake, punch,· and smokes.

· All who a,ttended the. banquet were unanimous in their praise for the eve­ning's entertainment.

Probability of 1,000 Students;

Faculty for Summer School

Unusually Strong

As announced recently by Dean Bryan, the Wake Forest Summer School of Law will open on June 7, and the regular summer session on June 13. It is apparent from the num­ber of applications on hand that this suminer will see the largest and most successful summer school ever con­ducted at Wake Forest. Already the Bostwick Dormitory has been filled, and more than half of the rooms in Hunter have been reserved. Applica­tions have, to date, been received from the following colleges: Chowan, Guil­ford, Meredith, N. · C. C. W.,. Coker, G. W. C., Winthrop, Averitt, Peace, St. Mary's, Furmal,l, George Peabody, Pineland, Wingate, Campbell, and Mars Hill. It is evident that there will be an unusually large number .of girls in attendance this summer, which will aid greatly in making Wake Forest a profitable and attrac· tlve place in which to spend . the summer.

The growth of the Wake Forest Summer School has been remarkable. Its enrollment has increased from 220 students in 1921 to 875 in 1926, and in all-probability the 1927 session will see over 1,000 students registered.

Only courses having the largest ap· peal are offered, and credit for. these courses may be had at less than ·one· half of the cost · of the same work during the regular sessions.

Dr. Sledd Gives Talk To Journalism Club

Speaks on "The Individual in

Journalism," Giving Editorials

Special Consideration

On Wednesday evening the Journal­ism (;lub .. had· ibe--unusual p}elfslil'tl' ·of having Dr. Sledd give an ,interesting lecture. Using as his subject "The In­dividual in Journalism," Dr. Sledd traced briefly the history of journal· ism with special attention. to editorial writers. • He said that· there were none evm·

so individual as Addison and Steele, the great forefathers of newspapers. Dr. Sledd then went on to show how, with the rising of the dailies in Eng­land, the impersonal element gradu­ally crept in, and newst>apers were now recognized as expressions of parties or special organizations.

In the course of his speech l1e paid special tribute to Mr. Godkin, once editor of the Nation, stating that it was this man who originated the idea of writing editorials that·were divided into clear-cut and almost impregnable paragraphs.

Dr. Sledd said that he was forced to C'onfess that there was not but one good editorial writer in North Caro­lina today, and that our State is in great need of a strong daily. But he seemed to think that our State· is not by itself in having but few good writers. "There is one man on the Times staff that really writes some strong, sweeping editorials," Dr. Sledd stated.

After paying honor to Bennet, who was at one time with the Herald, the speaker gave an interesting accoun.t of William Allen 'Vhite. editor of a little weekly in Emporia, Kansas. "This little ·weekly is closely watched by the best of our journalists from one end of America to the other," stated Dr. Sledd. Mr. White is author of the great book, "A Certain Rich Man."

In his concluding remarks to the members of the club, Dr. Sledd urged

For many nights the members of the graduating class have burned the midnight oil; and now, at the end of their college career, they will receive the long­sought-for degree in return for their faithful toiling. ·

Three men who had already received their B.A. degrees were not satisfied with that meager knowledge, so they took up post-graduate work; an.d now, at the close of the term for'1926-'27, they will receive their M.A. degree. Out of the one hundred and eighteen members of the graduating class there are forty-four candidates for the B.A. degree, forty-seven candidates for the B.S. degree, seventeen for the LL.B. degree, four candidates for the M.A. Med. degree, and three candidates for the B.S. Med. degree. The total num­ber of candidates for degrees this yea-r are eighteen more than the candidates for degrees last year.

The graduating class of '27 is a class that will always be remembered. They have been regular occupants of the classrooms; they have assumed the lofty position. of 'seniors, with pro­found respect from the other members of the student body; they have held this position 'varrantable.

Smoker Was Success

An. important episode in the history of Wake Forest College was enacted last Thursday night when the Fresh· man-Sophomore smoker was held. It was a new venture and everyone was looking forward and some were skep­tical of the outcome, bnt ev.erything worked out all right.

At the time we went to press only meager details about: the affair could be had, but it was reported that sev­eral fine speeches were made, the cap burning ceremony, and a sermon preached by the well-known very much "Dizzy" Wilcox.

We are glad to see the class of '29 come forward with such an open. and broadminded policy and we are sure that nothing but good (in the largest sense) can come from ·it.

Upon hearing these recommenda­tions, these candidates were asked to retire in order that other nominations could be entertained from the ffoor. Mr. G. N. Ashley, President of "F" Union, and Mr. J. H. King were duly nominated as candidates for the presi- . dency. And as there was no opposi­tion to Mr. 0. T. Binkley and :Mr. J. B. Ousley, they were automatically elect­ed as Vice-President and Secretary, respectively.

In the election that took place l\Ion­day afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30, ?>lr. J. E. Woolard t•eceived a majority of votes over the two other men. Thus he becomes our new General President for the year 1927-'28.

By ELBERT A. MACMILLA-N

A week or two ago, in casting about for something to throw a rock at, l\liss Nell Battle Lewis, of the Raleigh News and Observer, hit upon ride-catching by adult males as a topic worthy of her consideration. Miss Lewis, it ap­pears, holds such a practice in high disfavor, as, to be sure, Miss Lewis holds so many things, and' scents in it a real menace to the younger gener­ation. Folks, says Miss Lewis, have to find sooner or later that the world owes them no living, and that it won't in the long run give them one. From an economical standpoint Miss Lewis' argument is sound and solid. The world does have a way of keeping up with its debts, and is seldom found over-paying them. But it qccurred to me when I read Miss Lewis' article that maybe. after all the transaction involved when one adult with car sees fit to pick up one minus same is not quite so one-sided as it would seem.

Some Do I slept in an editor's bed last night,

I laid me down with a sigh, For I thought as I rolled in the feath­

ery nest, How easy editors lie.

You can't understand her, however you try!

But there's one thing about her which everyone knows,

A woman's not dressed' till she pow· A woman's n.ot dresseed till she pow­

ders her nose.

'James S.-Did you know that the bicyclist at the theatre this week has been arrested?

Feet E.-What for? James S.-Peddling without license.

Isn't it possible that in this case the benefactor may become a beneficiary, and that the ride-giver will come into possession. of something finer and more priceless than the use for a few miles of some automobile seat or other? Is there nothing in the world that · cannot be measured in dollars and cents? Somehow it has been my experience that there are things to, be had ofrom vagrant wanderers on the highway, and for some of the things I have learned from people I have gathered from the highways no num· ber of miles of rides would pay. They are people poignantly alive, and pos­sessed with ideas, ideals, and know!· edge that might even be of some value to the "hard-boiled" Miss Lewis. ·

Mr. Ben Dixon MacNeill, also a member of the staff of the News and Observer, is responsible in part for my Yiews as to picl;:ing up from the highways those highly interesting adults who line them. Mr. MacNeill tells me, and proves what he says by articles from time to time, that these adults furnish for him the most inter­esting of all the interesting material with which he works. "Interesting to myself, I mean.." the modest Mr. Mac­Neill adds. But of course it is inter­esting to his readers, and profitable to them, as also it is to Mr. MacNeiii. So you see that from a purely hard· boiled standpoint, from a purely mone· tary angle, Mr. MacNeill gets paid bus fare by those who ride with him. He has got to have something to write about, and I believe with him that these "adult males" furnish the pick of his highly human work.

And then there is that streak in all of us that makes us purr just a little when we are able to do something for somebody else that will help. · Maybe it's vanity that makes us feel just a little better when some one we have helped thanks us, and says he hopes he can do the same for us some day. But whatever it is, I believe it's good, and I believe it does me good. I'd like for Miss Lewis to try it some time. Just once. I'd lili:e to know if she didn't glow just a little when the adult male she had helped along closed the door and, with his hand still on it, thanked her with a real sincerity in his voice. I believe she would be amply Tepaid for her trouble, and that slle wouldn't worry quite so much, for a little while at least, about what these young men will do when they find that the world owes them no living, and that it has n.o idea of pay. ing what it doesn't owe.

I have had, I suppose, more experi· ence in catching rides than I have had in giving them. I am, on all occa· sions, one of those males who line the highways. Perhaps for this reason it might be said that I am prejudiced, and that what I have to say concern· ing bumming should be discounted. But I have also had experien.ce in carrying others, and I find that the thrill that comes to me when I thank some benefactor for a lift is only ex· celled by the thrill that comes with being thanked by another of my crowd who happened at that time to be bumming himself.

In case Miss Lewis should see this, which in all probability she will not, let me say that I mean no discourtesy to her or to what she thinks by this.

I do believe, though, that with all ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!::~.,u~~·w:~y;· "-.. "'~'· her knowledge she is a. little off on

TOMORROW

"My brake-bands need repairing, the car is hard .to hold,"

Says Jinx, as he goes faring along the sunlit road.

"They're giving me due warning that things are badly mixed,

And I tomorrow morning will go and have them fixed.

Today I'm too blamed busy to fix the band that bursts,

So speed up, gentle Lizzie, and hit some fifty ·versts.

He might have stopped had his brakes but held,

When, in a frantic hurry, ·a truck came o'er the veld.

But they were old and battered, they would not stand the strain,

And his remains were scattered all over the boundless plain.

"I'll fix the roof tomorrow," the shift­less fellow sighs;

And that night, to his great sorrow, rain cometh quite delugewise.

The house is inundated, its goods are ruined now,

And roundly he's berated by his indig· nant frau. The gods seem ever watching the blithe

"tomorrow" man, And they are bent on blocking his

every little plan. The man of wisdom utters, "Tomorrow

is no good; Today I'll fix the shutters, and saw

nine cords of wood; Today I'll haul the clover and put it

in the mow, And shear the old dog Rover, and wash

the muley cow .. Today I'll paint the stable and sweep

the concrete walk, Repair the eastern gable and wind the

eight-day clock." While others are lamenting the things

· they left undone, He goes around presenting a bright

face to the sun. . All kinds of piebald sorrow we dig up

on our way, , Leaving 'till tomorrow things we

should do today.

'Ve Have It Again All are dead who wrote it. All are dead who spoke it, All are dead who learned it, Blessed Death! They earned it.

NOT GO TQ MEREDITH

(Heal'd on the Campus.)

No. 1. I go to Meredith through sympathy for the girls who,are con­fined there so strictly.

No. 2. I have been to Meredith one time, and if I ever go again, I want someone to kick me. You can't do a thing but talk.

No. 3. I don't go to Meredith so often because it is so inconvenient. As soon as the good road was built to Raleigh, Meredith was moved out in the country and not toward Wake Fprest. It takes messages too long to go there.

No. 4. I go to Meredith to form new. associations. Probably, when I get out in life, some o£ these intro­ductions will prove beneficial to me. I might happen to meet some of these acquaintances again.

No. 5. I go to Meredith because I am really in love with a beautiful girl over there.

No. 6.- I go to see Meredith girls in preference to seeing common class girls because I associate with the fairer sex primarily for the joys of pure friendship.. Going with girls for pastime is only secondary for me,

No. 8. I don't go to Meredith, for my attention is directed elsewhere-­to another institution.

No. 9. I don't go to Mere.dith very often for the. simple reason that I am kept busy with other outside activi­ties; and I do not' propose to let my love for girls come before my love of duty that I owe to myself. - I am going to make the sacrifice. Opp"or­tunities to go with girls will come later, but the many opportunities that are now being offered me in college will soon b~ gone forever.

Dr. Hardi.ng Gives Two Quintet of Female llikers Are · Puzzle To Wake· "Bummers" Jesus Christ the True Messiah Lectures Qn Astronomy

University of. Arkansas Profes­. sor Talks Twice Here Last

Tuesday

Astronomy, blended with pungent humor, received a v~ry delightful and entertaining treatment at the hands of Dr. Harding of the University of Arkansas Thursday morning and ~ve­ning in Wingate Hall. • ' · To those' of us who had come to stand 'Very high in our own estima­tion, his ihformation concerning ,the vastness and inconceivable ·workings _of the system of the universe came somewhat as a jolt, and our former apparently imposing and striking figures shrun.k to insignificance. Not only the smallness ·and unimportance

, of us mere mortals was demonstrated, but also .the· relative unimportance of even the earth on which we live was exhibited in compat:ison with the other members of 'the vast solar system.

Dr. Harding gave this treatment of huge facts and figures,. whic_h Is gen­erally considered dry and uninterest­ing, a delightflfl appeal with his fre­quent thrusts of wit and his humorous analogies and illustrations. So great was his capacity for such variety that his audience had not the least ten· dency to become weary. On the other hand, it clamored and applauded re­peatedly for more.
