A. &T. Graduates
In Many Vocations
The following data in the form of®"
an official report by Dean Gibbs
covering the various vocations into which the graduates of A. and
T. College have integrated themselves, definitely is, or rather,
should be very encouraging to any
reader. Particularly should we who
' at present are matriculating here
at this institution of higher learning be encouraged.
As the general stream of things
run in regard to the choice of vocations (Not always choice but very
often circumstance.) the teaching
profession is predominant. It can
be seen, however, that the awareness to the prudence of entering in-

Joint Lyceum
Programs Proposed
According to an announcement
made here recently, Bennett College and A. and T. College, will
sponsor a series of joint lyceum programs. All programs will be held
in the A. and T. College gymnasium, unless otherwise arranged.
Such programs will strengthen the
existing bonds between the two
schools and enable them to secure
artists and lecturers of international reputation.
Terms of the agreement regard-

The 48th college session began
September 15th with registration
of the largest Freshman class in
the history of the college. On September 19 the former students registered and these classes too showed substantial gains.
To the former students returning there were many changes to be
noticed on the grounds and buildings. The drive-ways have gutters
and curbs; the girls' new dormitory
was ready for occupancy. Waste
paper cans were around the campus
and the mail-box had been shifted
to the opposite side of Dudley Building. All of these have added to
the beauty and usefulness and indicate that the year 1938-39 is under
auspicious  circumstances.
Unofficial reports show that the
college enrollment for the first
quarter is 750 which is equivalent
to the total enrollment for the year
1937-38.
Approximately 750 students are
now enrolled in the college. The
freshman class with an enrollment
of more than 300 has caused both
the number in the first year class
as well as the institution to surpass
all former registration records.
States    represented,    with    the,
highest number coming first, are:
North   Carolina,   Virginia,   South
Carolina,    New    Jersey,    Florida,

Feud Renewed
Stop-Look-Listen for in the near

the resumption of a verbal affray
which began at the institution many
years ago. This event, the annual
Freshman-Sophomore Debate, has
become historic.
For a period of seven straight
years the Freshmen were success-

of an interracial "Y Cabinet in this
state. No definite actions were taken at this meeting, however, the
question was discussed thoroughly.

is to be held in this state on October 23.

"Ag" Department
Improved;  New
Courses Added
The Agricultural Department
with an enrollment of 234 is bigger
and better than it has been in the
history of the institution. Modern
changes in the field of agriculture
brought about a change in our curriculum to the extent that several
new courses have been added to it
this fall. The new courses offered
are as follows: Agricultural practices, Rural Sociology, Fundamentals in Vocational Agricultural Education, Evening School and Part-
Time Work, Feeding of Dairy Cattle, Farm Shop Practices, and A
Two-Year Collegiate Course in Agriculture.
The course Farm Shop Practice
is offered for the purpose of aiding
those students who plan to teach
vocational agriculture in developing skill in farm practices. Some
of the jobs done in this course include tool fitting, forage work, cold
metal work, cement and brick
work, drawing plans, wood work-
