Alderman Makes Plea for College
When DR.. r. H. Alderman's name
was called he made earnest plea of
the preachers and laymen for united
cooperation in building Greater
Southern College at Lakeland. He
gave account of his career in con-
nection with the educational work of
the Florida conference, since the day
he entered the conference college at
Leesburg at tn age of fifteen. When
he came to Southern as president sew
en- years ago it had fifty-two stu
dents and was badly in debt. Today
the student body is three times that
and it's credit is good.
: He recounted the trying days of the
epidemic of the flue. the fire destroy
ing the buildings. the storm of few
weeks ago The fire will prove a bless
ing in disguise. he says, if the Meth
odists of Florida will rise to the occa-
sion and do the seeming impossible
task and build college for their boys
and girls by next September.
The doctor expressed his gratitude
at the selection of a new board of
trustees and will be glad when the
time arrives when he can retire. He
spoke of the loyalty of the student
body and made plea for the con-
ference to meet that loyaly by pro-
viding the means to build and equip
a great school.
What our preachers need" he said,
''is mistaken faith in one another
Dr. S. w. Lawler, secretary of .edu-
cation. made a plea in behalf of the
Christian education movement. en-
phasizing the fact that the denom-
ination has no home for Southern
students, and the educational funds
must be collected in order that the
school may be built.
The presiding elders made report,
suggesting the rule for the Florida
conference in future in electing dele
gates to the district conference, the
number to be four lay delegates to be
elected by the quarterly conference.
