The Faculty Club was delightfully
entertained in its first meteing of the
college year on Monday evening by
Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Bishop. Prof. Da-
vidson presented an exceedingly clear
and thoughtful address on "German
Philosophy and Theology," which stim-
ulated an interesting discussion, led by
Dr. Bishop and participated in by Pro-
fessors Kleberg, Davidson, Pegues and
Gray.
A social half hour followed, during
which Mrs. Bishop, assisted by Mrs.
Gray and Mrs. Pegues, served refresh-
ments.
Those present were: Dr. and Mrs.
Bishop, Dr. and Mrs. Pegues, Prof, and
Mrs. Vaden, Prof, and Mrs. Gray, Dr.
and Mrs. Wunder, Prof. Tinsley, Prof.

Did you ever go to chapel and
feel like you had wasted an hour
that could have been put in study-
ing or some more profitable way.
The fact is, when chapel services
are made interesting, and it occurs
| so seldom, it is the talk for several
j days. This week the name of Prof,
j A. L. Manchester has been most
heard, and because he followed out
a program for chapel last Wednes-
day that broke the monotony of the
cut-and-dried" talks we so often
hear. The program was a musical
one and one that could be appreci-
ated by all those present.
Did you ever stop to thing how
fortunate Southwestern is in hav-
ing the foremost musical educator
in America as Dean of the Musical
Department '/ Did you ever hear
of the Musical America, the great-
est publication of its kind in the
world, edited by John C. Freund
One of last year's issues was graced
by Prof. Manchester's picture on
the top cover.
To Prof. Manchester we are due
the thanks for the best Lyceum
Course every year that any school
offers. Through him Southwestern
gets credit for turning out the best
Glee Club in the State. And on
every Sunday morning we are en-
raptured with a beautiful anthem,
all his handiwork. And last, and
perhaps the greatest of all, we have
the most thorough and most effi-
cient musical department in the
.State built up by Prof. Manchester.
All Southwestern loves, honors, and
admires our Professor Arthur L.
Manchester.

BUY A BOND
Over the ocean, in another world,
A victorious banner has been unfurled;
And waves above the lad who lights
To maintain freedom for the stars and
stripes.
Buy a Bond.
Does this tragedy mean naught to you?
Are you an American who'll prove un-
true?
Now that your country is needing your
aid,
And asking a sacrifice so easily made?
Buy a Bond.
There are others who have /reely given
all,
Have left their homes to answer the call
To fight with valor for the red, white
and blue,
And today they arc carrying the colors
for you—
Buy a Bond.
If you have any honor or pride
For your forefathers who willingly died
That you might live in a land that's
free,
You '11 help your country a victor to be
By buying a Bond.
—M. L. Rendleman.
