MANY PRESENT.

October 18th was a great day in
the history of Meharry Medical
College.
The dedication of the new Ander-
son Anatomical Hall and the New
Dental Annex claimed the attention
of friends of this noted institution
throughout the city, state and ma
ton. Distinguished churchmen and
educators were in attendance. Bish
up Thomas Nicholson of Chicago OF
the NJ. E. Church, delivered the dedi-
catory address. DR. Thomas Jesse
Jones of the Department of Educa-
ton of the National Government,

bers of Congregational Council in
Guiding distinguished men from
many states occupied seats on the
platform with DR.. G. w. Hubbard
and Faculty.
The Meharry Orchestra furnished
music for the occasion. Bishop
Scott led in fervent prayer. Because
of pressing engagement DIT. Thomas
Jesse Jones could not remain to
witness the entire program. He is
perhaps the best informed man in
the U. s. on education among Ne
groes. The program was slightly
varied and he kindly consented to
speak to the student body. DR.. Jones
paid a glowing tribute to the ell
cheney of the work done at Meharry
as shown by the representatives OF
the sclpol in al slaotions of the
COUNTRY He emphasized that fact
that this character of the work done
ere by the direction and under the
supervision of DR.. Hubbard had pro-
luced and developed the donors
whose gift made possible this occa-
sion. He eXhorted the student-body
to imbibe freely of the spirit of the
president of the institution.
The President, Faculty, students
and friends felt honored in having
so distinguished and well informed
f educator to thus address them.
= In the classification of COLLEGES for
Negroes in his report for the U. s.
. Government DR. Jones placed Mehar
ry as one of the three colleges doing
exclusive college work.
The dedicatory address by Bishop
Nicholson was a clear presentation
+ of facts and illustrations which
> clearly showed that to have an OPP
, portunity was no guarantee that an
individual. race or nation would use
t it. BY illustration he said that the
= wealth of this country had been
= imbedded in her hills, mountains,
' plains and fertile valleys for ages
e but the American Indian who once
possessed it all did not improve his
opportunity to develop ii and the op-
$ portunity was seized by others. He
5 urged his hearers to use well every
. opportunity presented and assured
them if they did not others would
come in and take possession.
i. This age he thought might anpro-
: priately be designated an age OF ser
e vice.
