Howard College has now a real B.
8. U. Study Course Last week Miss
Luclle Loyd, State Student Secretary,
was on our campus for the entire
week and taught two classes dally.
The B. S. U. Manual proved to be a
most Interesting and delightful book
and those that were able to take the
course seem highly pleased at the
working of such an organisation.
The classes as a whole were well
attended and the interest in this new
organisation for Howard Is very keen
Indeed. It is hoped that the students
of Howard will familarize themselves
with the B. S. U. Organisation and
understand something of its work and
lust the place that It will fill on our
campus.
The organisation, according to Miss
Loyd, has been tried out on a number
of campuses over a period of years
and it has been found to fill the bill.
No definite thorough going organisa¬
tion was perfected here last week.

presented in their auditorium last Wednesday morning by a group

Pilgrims Progress is being taught by
Prof. Sampey. This class is proving
to be one of the most popular of the
courses that are being taught. All
of the other classes havea nice en¬
rollment and when Friday night rolls
around there will be a large number
to take the examinations.
On last Sunday evening a fine re¬
port was made by each of the unions
which shows that they are all really
doing some very fine work. The in¬
terest and enthusiasm is running high
and each union Is trying to have their
entire membership take the study
courses this week.

Following each number on the 46-
minute program there was a storm tor
an encore.
John L. Johnson delivered one of
the most brilliant short speeches ever
made for Howard College, and for
Phillips on “Opportunities Offered by
Howard College." He set forth .con¬
sistently and without exaggeration,
conditions and advantages retained at
Howard in every phase of college Ilfs
interestingly. The 12-mlaute address
seemed like a brief one of three; so
vividly did Johnson paint the situa¬
tion at the Baptist school.
