"A DAWSON BOY AT
EMORY UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE PAPER MAKES COM
ELEMENTARY REFERENCE TO
RECORD OF HUNTER BELL.

"Who's Who at Emory" column
published in the Emory university pa
per, The Emory Wheel, has the fol-
owing complimentary article about
one of Dawsons young men who is
a student at that institution:
Hunter Seaborn Bell, if you take
him all in all, is one of the best all
round men" that Emory will send
forth in the class of 81. He is that
combination and medley of scholar,
athlete, politician and all-round good
sprot" that is much sought after and
so seldom achieved But far be it from
me to eulogize him iii this manner,
when "all who run may read" and see
for themselves as well.
1t was on March l, 1901, that Hun
ter was born in Dawson the metropo-
lis of Terrell county and the cotton
section" of south Georgia. He was
brought up in Dawson and in its high
schools received his entire preparatory
training, which so we'll equipped him
for college work that he has been able
to finish in three years.
rors" of that period known in all col
leges as. the IS. A. {. I: regime,
Hunter entered Emory and marched
up to Madam" Peed's window in the
library down at old Oxford, demand
ing registration for a B. Phi. degree,
including Analyt and Tacitus A fresh
man, mind you. But H. S. didn't mind
little thing like that, and soon he
was shooting the profs" rights and
left, even in the classical courses,
where some would fain use mount
q mean a jack.)
Just to show everyone that his pol
itics were working right Hunter work
ed himself into the confidence OF his
classmates to the extent that he was
elected secretary and treasurer. That
year was spent in laying the proper
foundations for later honors. Besides
being on the honor roll, he played
on his class team both in basket ball
and baseball, both pennant-Winning
teams of that year.
Last year he was athletic editor of
the Emory Wheel, and holds that po
sition again this year. He has also
been correspondent for the Atlanta
Journal both years, writing up in a
capable manner all the Emory happen
ings of interest, athletic and other
wise.
Hunter made the honor roll again
last year, and, with the steady AS that
he pulls down now should easily grad
uate with honors.
An "E" fell to his lot last spring
when, as second baseman for the pen
winning sophomores, he "nabbed'
many an ambitious base-runner and
easiIv defeated a field of strong COM
petition. He is a charter member of
the e" club as it was organized re-
Gently, and is also vice-chairman OF
the re-organized athletic committee
that is doing so much progressive
work this year. Another letter will fall
to his this year as university manager
of tennis.
When those. pyramids in their white
CARDS almost scared us the other night
we did not know who the fifteen men
were who originated and organized it.
But when they unmasked in chapel,
Hunter was seen among the number.
This is quite an honor, since this or
ganization seems to be working for
the Emory spirit, "a greater Emory
and athletics"
He is member of the PanHellenic
Council, and the recent election for
winter term officers made him its sec
retary-treasurer.
Hunter is also a member of the
Susie Dahms Social Club and the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity.
