the grounds. A pledge would be sub
nitted to each student to refrain from

To impart professional knowledge
is the object of the institution, but
religious training would calm a part
of their time through the Y. NJ. c. A.
and monthly services which vii be
held at the Meharry Auditorium the
second Sunday in each month. The
department in pharmacy will open
on October 9th and then the dedica-
ton of the New Anderson Ana
tomical Hall will take place
on October 18th. This event is
looked forward to with a great deal
of interest by the two thousand and
more of Meharry graduates who are
now doing effective service in nearly
every state in the union.
The city of Nashville as THE
Athens of the South" was strongly
emphasized, but that there are places
in this city where medical students
should not frequent was pointed out
to the new men who come for the
first time and to the other men he
have spent years in the institution
Nashville is also a city of splendid
homes and it would not be easy to
find cities where Negroes own more
comfortable homes than in this city
still there are places even in this
city of Nashville where Meharry
students should not frequent.
The churches of the city We're com
mended to the student body, and
they were encouraged to select the
church of their choice and keep tt
the front in their religious life while
pursuing their profession studies.
Perhaps the president of MeharrS
Medical College keeps in closer toucl
with his graduates than is the Gus
tom with most professional schools

part of his business to call on an,
graduate in the town or city and fine
out for himself just how such gradu
ate is succeeding. The boys, as HI
sometimes calls them, are alway
glad to welcome him. If by chanc
they learn that he is coming int
, their city, they will arrange an in
promptu reception and nearly ever
graduate in the place will be presen
to meet him and by their presence eA
press gratefulness for. services re
ceived at Meharry. These reception
