“One advantage the Howard sum¬

not come If it were otherwise.”

Students Are Asking What Is To Be
The Next Thing At Howard College
Grand Opera must be next, “They
say."
- -
Plenty of material, strong and per¬
sistent demand for it, efficient direc¬
tors and good local advantages are
the reasons given for the establish¬
ment of a Howard Collegiate Grand
Opera and Dramatic Association. Im¬
petus was given the movement by the
participation of twenty-four Howard
students in the two performances
given In Birmingham by the -Boston
National Opera Company. The fol¬
lowing week seven Howard students
took part in the opera given at the
Bijou Theatre by the Birmingham
Opera Association, and accompanied
the Association on its road trip.
The fact that a majority of those
from the Baptist Institution did not
participate in the singing while the
opera was in progress is not consid¬
ered important.
It is understood that additional
spaghetti and other important Italian
necessities will be added to the diet
of the future grand high hollerers and
that names will be changed to suit,
each Richard to be made Riccardo,
Tom changed to Tomato, Bessie to
Vessipuci, and so on. The studies
abroad will be made via the movies.

Northern Alabama
Launches Campaign
Muscle Shoals Association Will Raise
$10,000 to Pay Tuition of College
Missionary Students.
HOWARD TO BE BENEFITED.
Baptists in that district of the Ten¬
nessee Valley belonging to the Muscle
Shoals Association, and co-operating
with the association as a unit, are Just
launching a movement to raise $10,-
000 as a fund to aid etudents for the
ministry at Howard College and
young women at Judson College who
may be preparing to enter the for¬
eign field. The fund Is to serve as a
memorial to the distinguished Dr.
Josephus Shackelford, one of the early
leaders in the association and one of
the truly great and influential Bap¬
tists of North Alabama.
The money is to be raised as speed¬
ily as possible and set aside formal¬
ly at the 1919 session of the Muscle
Shoals Association, the organization
being at that time one hundred years
old. At the last meeting of the as¬
sociation it was agreed that the body
do something in a way to do honor
to' the man who did more, perhaps,
than any other man has done to for¬
ward the work of Christianity and the
Baptist denomination in his part of
the State. Rev. Jesse A. Cook, pas¬
tor of the First Baptist church at
Decatur, was named as chairman of
a committee to formulate plans.
Dr. W. H. Smith, Educational Sec¬
retary, and Dr. James M. Shelburne,
President of Howard, had a confer¬
ence with committeemen recently,
presenting to them the desirability of
such a fund. It was agreed that the
