been greater opportunity for con-

publication will serve TO keep fresh
the interest of the alumni. All that
is asked is a great av ahening of the
alumni. That accomplished, and that
sustained, the future Of Emory IS
assured"
The Bishops Call,
The call of Bishop Gambler, The
chancellor, addressed ITO the Sons
of Emory Throughout the World, y
follows:
THE dear old College" is about tc
hold it's last commencement in Oxford
1t has become the School of Liberia
Arts of Emory University, and as sucE
will be removed to the campus il
Druid Hills Park, Atlanta, at th'
opening of the fall term of 1919.
"Its removal does not mean harm
but help to our alma mater. During
the past year Oxford was scarcel,
able to accommodate the students
who came for matriculation. Emor.
must bless more students than OXfor
can hold.
"In the splendid new buildings il
Atlanta, there will be room for tn
widest expansion, and means for tn
greatest prosperity. The removal t
Atlanta is not to change Emory
spirit, nor modify its aims. Its re
ligious atmosphere and Christian pur
pose must be preserved to the end 9
time for the honor of God and tn
blessing of mankind. If we above
any impairment of these hign an
holy things, the generations follow
ing us would curse us, and tn
fathers of the institution, who hay
gone before US, would deny us wei
come to the skies when we have n
more a place in the earth.
