A tew years "ago Dr. McCord came
to Birmingham and made a survey of
the foods that the Industrial people
eat. Now he is Investigating a new

much work with the eyes. This dis¬
ease causes the eye to lose balance

person who has palsy of the hands.
Dr. MoCord has a large staff of work¬
ers wtlh him.
Many of Dr. McCord's triends of
former days will remember him a* an
outstanding student' ot Howard Col¬

his field of endeavor. Hie works are
recognised by the foremost medical
hoc! :lee ot America and he writes for
several periodicals.
Dr. McCord is connected with the

Howard’s History
A Colorful One
By HARRY BERTRAM COHEN
Founder* Day will be observed with
usual solemnity when Dr.
С.
B. Aren-
dall. pastor of the Dauphin Way Bap¬
tist Church, Mobile, Ala., and a grad¬
uate of the University of Virginia, will
deliver the Founder's Day address Feb.
7. Miss Angelina McCrocklln will sing
and lead tbe singing In chapel.
Students will remember the Found¬
er's Day address last year delivered
by Dr. John R. Sampey. Jr., on "The
Physical .Sciences and Human
Thought.''
The history of Howard, rich in tales
for existence and In victories over
fire and poverty, gives a sombre, yet
Joyful, significance to the celebration
of Founder* Day. From the small
frame building near Marion, Ala.,
where nine youths flint enrolled un¬
der Professor Samuel Sherman, on
January 3. 1842, has issued forth the
preeent Howard College under the
leadership of Dr. John C. Dawson,
with an enrollment at over 660 «in¬
dents.
Eighty-eight years have elapsed
since the founding of Howard College,
eighty -eight years of vicissitudes and
tribulations. Tbe “Howard English
and Classical School, ” the appellation
given to that little wooden structure
In Marion, grew very gradually, but
It* growth was abruptly stopped in
1844 when the frame building wa* de¬
stroyed by fire. But tragedy only
caused a greater Howard, for the cRt-
xepa of Marlon embued with the aplrit
of education, aided the school in pur¬
chasing a lot directly opposite from
the Judson Female Institute (now Jud*
son College) on which was erected a
larger building.
Raised to the rank of a college in
1928, his freshman year, he i.nd Theo.

In the last lseue of the “Literary
Digest" appears a poem by one ot
Howard's own faculty members. Dr.
August H. Mason, whose poem, "Audi
tlon," won him this recognition, again
brings honor upon himself and bis col¬
lege.
Speaking of Dr. Mason's poem, the
"Literary Dlgeet" says: "Dr. Mason
oelebratee some of those unheard mel¬
odies that Keats drew from The
Grecian Urn.”’
"Audition” made it* first appear¬
ance in the Christmas Number of the
IQuill," Howard* literary publication."
Other poeme by Dr. Mason have
been published In the Sewanee Review
and other literary magexlnes.
Dr. J. R. Hobbs b
dore Jackson, hla colleague, triumphed
over Birmingham-Southern In the an¬
nual Blrmlngbam-Southern-Howard de¬
bate. The firm establishment of tbe
Men's Forensic Club la attributable
to Mr. Jones, whose efforts as presi¬
dent of that organisation caueM a re¬
newal of interest in debating and
oratory. Last semester representa¬
tives from the Men’s and Women's
Forensic Clubs elected him president
of the Interoolleglate Debate Council.
The activities pf Victor Jones have
not been confined solely to forensics,
for literary endeavors have also decu¬
pled bis attention. He was editor of
the 1929-30 “Bull Pup," ordinarily
called tbe “Rat Bible'' by upperclass¬
men wbo discipline their new dleciplee
In the commandments and songs of
Howhrd College. As assistant editor
of "The Howard Crimson," he judged
the merits ot literary manuscripts eub-
mitted for publication. Last eemester
