The mission of Southwestern is to develop men and women, '' all-
round men and women," "physically, mentally and spiritually fit to
become leaders." How well she has succeeded in the past is told by
a glance over the list of prominent alumni.
But mahy of her brightest prospects did not return to complete
their courses. While success has been achieved by them, in some in-
stances notable success, yet when questioned they almost all regret
that they did not finish a literary education. Around the institution
of old Southwestern roam the ghosts of those who did not return.
Their records stalk like an earth-bound soul trying to absolve its sin,
doomed by the word, Incomplete.
Will you be back next year; will your record rest quietly in the
office with other records marked complete; or will your record haunt
and hinder the progress of the institution ? For Southwestern is not
content to be an institution with memories of a glorious past, but she
is a college with a future greater because of her past. Will you join
the host of living records, complete records, and be a pride to her?

NOTE OP THANKS
To the subscribers to The Megaphone, we wish to express our-
hearty appreciatipn for your patience, criticism, and sympathy. The
problem of the new editor is a difficult one as can easily be seen. We
hope that you have some reason to be fairly well pleased and that the
paper to some degree has come up to yOur expectations.
To the advertisers of Georgetown, whose patronage makes pos-
sible the publication of the school paper, we express our deepest grat-
itude and we sincerely trust that you have been repaid a hundred fold
in student friendship and trade.
The barrier between the students of Southwestern University and
the people of Georgetown is an imaginary one and should be for once
ft nil for always broken down. People are people and love association
«wd comradeship, no matter who they are, or whether their present oc-
cupation is that of a student or a merchant. A still better spirit than
now exists (for those who advertise are surely the best friends that
the students have) should be cultivated.
A Greater Southwestern means a greater Georgetown.
Y. M. 0. A. held its last devotional
meeting Sunday evening. The main
theme, "Demagogs," was discussed by
Professor Davidson. A large number
attended the service. ,
The service was opened by a vopal
duet by Ceile Norman and llaften Bar-
cus, accompanicd on the piano by Miss
Oiisby. This was very beautiful and
served as a splendid beginning for the
service.
Prof. Davidson began by announcing
that he would discuss a very unpopular
qub.iect,Demagogs." He said: "Prom
the Greek derivitive it meanB 4 a leader
of the people,' but the meaning has
changed and today it refers to an insin-
cere leader of the people.
'4 We hive come to kno<r the demagog
best in politics. He is the professional
mudslinger, the ward boss, the man who
claims to be looking after the interests
of the people but who is really serving
some selfish aim.
"We have the demagog in city gov-
ernment; vbe have him in business; we
have him in labor; we have him in our
student bodies*"
"But the demagog everywhere is of
the same warp and woof. On analyzing
his character we find two common char-
acteristics. The demagog is always a
man of very remarkable power. No
weakling is ever a demagog. Then the
man ybo is a demagog is not only alead-
er but is also a selfish man who uses his
powers of leadership for selfish ends.
"There are two sure methods to keep
from being a demagog. One is to be a
weakling and good for- nothing. The
other is to be unselfish.
"Of theso two I would rather choose
the latter. There are many honored po-
sitions in this world. But among alt
things I would like to be the unselfish
leader of the people."
VALEDICTORY
In this, the last edition of The Megaphone for the school year
1920-1921, it is appropriate that a few statements be made.
The policy of this paper, as first announced, has been kept in-
# violate. At times the road has been smooth and level, and at other
times it has been rough and rugged; but we have trudged on with
duty as our only guide all the way through." First things have been
put first and an attempt has been continuously made to cover the field
of all activities in which Southwestern students, ex-students, faculty
and friends were or should be interested. The college life, both as it
is and as it should be, have been portrayed.
Mistakes have been many. But we have profited by our mistakes
and have tried never to make the same mistakes twice. If any success
has been attained by the paper this year, all credit goes to the mem-
ben of the staff who have co-operated willingly and faithfully with
no reward except the experience. (Other schools give college credit
for work done on college papers). - • i
Also due recognition must be paid to the Glass in Journalism, in
which all hut one member of the editorial staff has received invaluable
training. Without this class the editor would have been at an abso-
lute loss and members of the staff greatly handicapped.
Certain anonymous charges have been brought against the editor
and the paper, but these are absolutely false and without foundation.
Bnt such mistakes as have been made will only serve as guiding
posts and danger signals to next year's staff. By no means do we
set ourselves up as examples, but the succeeding staff can reap a rich
profit both from our successes and mistakes.
In this final edition, after which we will turn over the paper to
more competent hands, we wish to thank yon all for your sympathy,
kind words, and co-operation. Farewell!

Journalism Class Forms Nucleus of
New Club—Regains Place in
T. J. P. A.
For the last few years Southwestern
has not maintained her place in the
Texas Intercollegiate Press Association.
She had completely lost out^ This year,
as a result of Mr. Wonts's interest in
the Association and the general demand
for the work, Southwestern has regained
her plaee. Henry D. Akin was sent as
a representative to the T. I. P. A. that
met at Fort Worth. While there he re-
instated S. U. Since his #eturn the*
Press dub has-been rebrganizea. The
members of the Journalism Class acted
as charter members of the Club and a
constitution was formally adopted. The
following were "elected officers /or the
earning year: Henry D. Akin, pres-
ident; Joe A. Durrenberger, vice pres-
ident; Dinah Harper, secretary, and
Louise Lamb, treasurer.'
It is the purpose of the organization
to foster all forms of journalistic work
for the college publications and to send
contributions to the State convention
of the T. I. P. A. Membership in the
Club is open to all who are interested
in any form of journalistic work and
make the proper application io the sec-
retary.

The editors and managers of The^
Megahone are to be congratulated upon
the success with which they have done
their work this year. Not only hav9
they maintained a high standard'of ex-
cellence; but .they have shown good
judgment and discretion to a degree not
always found in connection with stndent
publications. There are many delicate
questions that arise, and carelessness ?n
the part of the editors may cause a good,
deal of trouble and bad feeling. The
Megaphone has avoided the rapks.
Best of all, The Megaphone Baa stood
ever loyal to Southwestern. "There has
been no disposition to lend comfort to
those who would "knock," would low-
er the ideals, would make trouble. On
the contrary, The Megaphone has stood
consistently for all that is worthy atnd
best and constructive in our school life.
I move a vote of thanks to The Meg-
aphone Staff,
JOHN C. GRANBEBY.
