Now is tie time for all good tow¬
ard men ,(i.nd "co-eds”) to come to
the aid of their basketballers. On
Monday ni;;ht, February 7th, these
said chape take on our cute little
footballers rom across the town in a
court argument at the
В.
A. C. gym,
probably ci mmenclng In the vicinity
of 8 p. m. This affair will offer to
local Baptiit backers an opportunity
to else up the East Lakers’ cage abil¬
ity which means, of course, that
Howardites themselves can see just
where they stand in the loop-the-loop
game.
Coach fr >m past frays seems to
have assembled very promising ma¬
terial; notably McCollough, Alford,
Gaylord, R >binson, Wright and Webb.
At forward
в
"Toby" and “Shorty"
Webb will likely have charge of the
counting end of the occasion with
Wright anc. Knight in reserve. At
guards we have the two reliables,
Capt Otha- and his assistant Mr.
Daniel Gaylord, both of the top-notch
, type. W. 1C. Newman will stand In
readiness tb relieve either of the two,
while Knlg rt could be put Into use
there, too. At center, Mac will strive
to star again as has been the case in
several affi lrs. If he is withdrawn

with the Sunshine Slope». It's true
that their entire team is composed
of so-called vete, but skill counts more
on s court than experience especial¬

ALAS— THE DEBATE DATE!
The so sadly dated and re-dated de¬
bate will occur. Providence willing,
on Tuesday February 8th, in the col¬
lege audIU rium under Phllomathla.
We approaol) this subject of dating
the opening- of our debating season
with fear and trembling. If any other
reason for changing can be found, let
us hear it now or forever hold your
peace. No sound! The date stands
unchallenged, but not unwept, un¬
honored or unsung. The fefraln’now
is February 8th, 8 o’clock p. m.
Does It pay to go to college? The
usual answer Is yes, but the Haverford
College Endowment Fund committee
has Just completed an attempt to give
an answer in correct figures.
Thesefttlgures were compiled from
statistics ,of virtually 1600 alumni. It
was figured the best way to get the
answer was from the men using the
college education. J. Stogell Stokes,
chairman of the committee, which is
winding up its drive for 8500,000 No¬
vember 19, announces the results of
the canvass ‘today.
The largest division of Haverford
graduates are those In business. The
number is 575, and it 1b found the
largest percentage of these have been
very successful In making money, and
In gaining Influence and prominence.
Of these 230 are executives. This
figure of over 40 percent of those who
have risen from the ranks of ' em¬
ployees, Is said to be very unusual.
There are 78 lawyers among the
graduates, and 57 physicians. In ad¬
dition three lawyers have succeeded
to judgeships.
The clergy is represented by thirty
There is one rabbi. Thirteen men
have taken up chemistry as a pro¬
fession. Professions have claimed 203
men In all.
'Then a careful perusal of the list
shows that fifty-four men have been
so successful in life they have been
able to withdraw from dally struggle,
they have retired from active work.
Charitable work is claiming the time
of thirty-nine others. These are dis¬
tributed between the Red Cross,
Friends’ philanthropic enterprises, wel¬
fare and missionary work.
Teachen, both school, college and
university, are put in a class by them¬
selves, and show 193 Haverford men
doing the work. Twelve of them are
administrative officers, among this
number being Dr. William W. Com¬
fort, president of Haverford College.
There are fifty college and univers¬
ity professors, eight assistants, four
associates, nine Instructors and teach¬
ers. Of those In preparatory and high
schoole thirty-five hold administrative
positions. There are twenty-nine teach¬
ers 1ft high schools and forty in pre¬
paratory schools. The arts have sum¬
moned forty-one Haverfordlans, au¬
thors and poets being classed together,
lead this group with twenty-eight.
There are sixteen publishers, eleven
editors and ten advertising men. Two
are publisher-executives, five are ar¬
tists, four are newspaper men, and
there Is one each of printers, art critic
and phllatelst. There are five li¬
brarians.
While business and arts, not to men¬
tion the professions, have taken their
share of the graduates of this, little
Main Line college, the rougher sides of
life are well represented. Agricultural
pursuits have attracted seventy-seven
Haverfordlans, forty-nine of whom are
farmers. Seven are fruit growers, six
are raising stock, five are foresters
and four are ranchers.
The various branches of engineering
are credited with ninety-one. Mechan-

RELIGIOU8 SERVICES BEGIN.
Dr. Price Preaches.
On Monday morning, January 31,
Dr. W. B. Price, pastor of the Firat
Baptist church of Bessemer, preached
to the students. This was the open¬
ing sermon of the week of religious
services at Howard and Dr. Price
spoke to the place of Dr. Daniels of
Atlanta, who had not then reached
the city. Dr. Price chose as his text
the 16th verae of the third chapter of
John, which he pronounced the great¬
est of all passages. He opened with
a tribute to Dr. Daniels and then spoke
to the students of their life In college
and their duty to conduct themselves
by the highest ideals. He spoke of
God's love as solicitous, ambitious, and
self -denying.
DR. 8TIVENDER A DDR
8TUDENT8.
On Wednesday morning, January 26,
the students and faculty of Howard
College enjoyed an unusual talk by
Dr. Stlvender, pastor of the Rhuhama
Baptist church, upon "The Doubter."
He said that the Inquiring doubt of the
existence and power of God Is not a
sin, if we do not allow it to master
us. He urged the students to think
and convince themselves of the might
of a Supreme Being. He warned his
hearers to be sure they had a firm
hold of a new theory before discarding
the old and urged them to try to con¬
ceive of a world without God.
DR. WILLIAM8 TO ADDRESS
COUNTY TEACHER8 SATURDAY.
leal engineers lead this number with
twelve, closely followed by eleven civil
engineers. Nine are electrical, three
mining, and the balance is split among
the many less prominent and newer
branches of the profession.
And then, despite the opposition to
all ware, eeven of the graduates have
chosen the army as their life’s work.
These figures are being used by the
committee In winding up Its appeal to
all Haverfordlans and friends of
Haverford to the campaign to endow
the faculty with a permanent living
wage and the college with a chair of
English literature.
It is pointed out by the committee
that the advantages conferred on the
students by the college is greater than
that to be bad from virtually any
other college. It is believed this record
of achievement will cogipare favor¬
ably with any Institution of learning
to the world.— Collegiate World.
The main feature of the meeting of
the Jeffersdn County Teacher's As¬
sociation at the Firat Methodist
church on Saturday. February 6, at
10:30 A. M., will be an address by
Dr. Charles B. Williams, president of
Howard College. The arrangement of
the program was to the hands of Mr.
N. B. Baker, Superintendent of the
Jefferson County sc hols. The singing
will be led by E. Gordon Erickson,
member of the Howard faculty and
Community Sing leader. The Crimson
feels that Dr. Williams will deliver
a masterful address, as is character¬
istic of our President, and one in keep¬
ing with his reputation as a great edu-
.cator.
