These renditions were of a high order and merit special comment. It is rumored that excerpts from this work will be broadcast over radio December 17. ■ »» DR. S. B. SEBASTIAN TALKS ON TUBERCULOSIS Lists Six Stages of the Disease: Laziness, Lost Appetite, Coughing, Lost Wejight, Fever, Hemorrhage. Dr. S. B. Sebastian, a very eminent physician of the city, made an interring talk on tuberculosis during the six « + » Grads Visit Campus Misses Ilortense and Drewella Galloway and Martha White, last year luates, were visitors in the dorm |Sig- chapel hour. He outlined stages of the disease. In the beginning, he stated, one feels very lazy and sluggish, and has no energy to do anything. Soon the appetite becomes poor, one does not desire to eat—this is the second stage of tuberculosis. When the individual possesses a cough and, is continually catching cold, he is then in the third stage. With a poor appetite and a bad cough, the loss of weight and a fever are next. The normal temperature is 98.6, but the tubercular victim has a temperature of 97 or below in the morning and 100 or 102 at night, which causes night sweats. The last and final stage is the hemorrhage, when the individual spits blood or as a lung hemorrhage. Dr. Sebastian stated that this disease could be found in any part of the body, e. g., heart, lungs, liver, bones, stom-| ach, etc. The cure for tuberculosis, which should be started at a very early stage, is merely hygiene in good wholesome food, fresh air, fresh water, plenty of organic lime, which can be obtained from eggs and milk, and cod liver oil which contains the vitamins A, B and D. This program was given under the auspices of the health committee. Several other programs will be presented during the chapel hour. ►+* Burlington Teachers Visit Campus "Misses Mary Dorsey and Mildred Sessoin were visitors on the campus durirg the holidays.

DUDLEY ON FOUNDERS' DAY CATERINA JARBORO, STAR OF 'AIDA; IS HEARD IN RECITAL »■ —■ Has Won Great Fame as National and International Artist of Rare Ability. STAGE TECHNIQUE GOOD Miss Jarboro is a Native North Caro- linian and She Paid High Tribute to Her State and People. Noted Educator Makes Stirring Address Before Large and Appreciative Audience. MISS BURROUGHS SPEAKS S.be Strand t!» Three Aims of Democracy, Namely, Unity, Work, and the Right to Learn. Speaking at the Founders' Day exercises held in the Dudley Memorial auditorium at A. and T. College on November 2, Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training School, Washington, D. C, paid tribute to Dr. James B. Dudley, founder of the institution, and urged A. and T. College and President F. D. Bluford to carry on the (work so nobly begun by the founders. The subject of the eminent educator was, "The Thre Aims of Democracy." In opening her talk, she stated that "nowhere in the world isi there as much attention paid to and attempts made j student body. To. Miss Viola Chaplain to understand democracy as in Amer- Especially significant in Miss Burroughs' address was her expression for the need of a more practical program of education, a program that will give students the a -.'. V -CUltllfC^J.'aek- ground and at the same time- enable them to earn a living. Stressing the fact that the purpose of founding America was to promote democracy, she stated that the three most essential things in a democracy are liberty, work, and the right to learn and grow. Throughout the years noble Americans have given their lives that these principles might be preserved, she declared. "One of those great Americans was the former president of A. and T. College, James B. Dudley, whom we are eulogizing today, and we must dedicate the truth of today to the unfinished task the founders have started. The day is coming when everyone will have equal privilege to work, when everyone will have equal rights to study and learning. When this dream of democracy is fulfilled, there will be no south, no east, no- north, and no west, but one single union—one dWirJcraey.'' »-♦-. JESSE O. THOMAS SPEAKS AT CHAPEL EXERCISES Stresses New Bfcal in Education and Government, with Slogan "A New Deal for the Forgotten Man." "A new deal in education and a new deal in government," was the theme of a lecture given by Jesse O. Thomas, director of the Southern Branch of the National Urban League, before the faculty and student body in chapel recently. In opening he contrasted the campaign slogan fo Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt advocated "A square deal and a full dinner pail for the working man," while F. D. Koosevelt advocated "A new deal for the forgotten man." "I Would like to stress," he said, "a new deal in education and economy" as a slogan for the Negro race." He spoke of 1926 as the year 'of highest employment in the history of the country. During this period pn duction was at its peak, more people A large and interested audience was thrilled Wednesday evening, November 14, when Caterina Jarboro, star of Verdi's opera, "Aida," gave a recital in Murphy Hall.
