Officers Meet Here for Workshop Sam Campbell Lectures Sam Campbell, author, lecturer, naturalist, and photographer, and ''Giny," his wife, presented the illustrated lecture, "The North Country, Land of the Voyageur," in the Helen Funk Assembly Hall en Sunday night, May 4. The story began at Sam Camp- hell's home in Wisconsin, where, among other pets, Zipper the fawn, Zowie the fox, Z.anie the pup, and Zinnia the skunk were intro- duced. Then the narrative, illus- trated by actual scenes in the Land of the Voyageur, carried thought deep into the canoe wilderness. ~. moose, deer, beaver, birds, and smaller animals were shown in color in their natural habitat. The lecture illustrated Mr. Campbell's philosophy of the forest, that Nature is a deep and salutary parable to be read by man, and that living creatures furnish an opportunity for the cultivation of · dness, rather than the brutal instincts. His animal characters have be- come known and loved by liter- ally millions all over the world. The lecture was presented to the Nashville area by the Associated Students of Madison College. - ASMC- Students Hear Unit Workers Students have listened to repre- sentatives from two self-support- ing schools a t recent chapel Periods.

Fifty Study Ways and Means The delegates from eight colleges who met at Madison for the Eighth Inter- collegiate Workshop. Group Presents "The Lost Word," by Henry Van Dyke, a tale from the days of early Christianity, was presented by Doctors Ernest and Margaret Horsley and the men of Elder Felix A. Lorenz's speech class on Saturday night, April 26. Those presenting the story were attired in appropriat,e fourth century garb, and the rostrum was arranged to represent as nearly as possible the setting of the story- places in and near the lavish home of Hennas, hero of the tale. Dr. Ernest Horsley portrayed the parts of Hermas, wealthy young man who accepted Christian- ity and then for a time renounced his faith. Facing one crisis after another without "the Word," Her- mas gradually realized how empty life is without God. Then as "Little Hermas" lay dying, the father again accepted the "Word" as it was offered to him by John the Presbyter, and the little son was restored to his parents. Dr. Margaret Horsley represent- ed Athenais, the wife of Hermas, and the Horsley children took the part of little Hermas. The men in the speech class and the parts they nThe Lost Word" portrayed are as follows : Hubert Mills represented John the Presbyter; Richard Borgeson, the wealthy father of Hermas; Charlie Culbertson, Marcion th~ priest; Herbert Tate, the steward; Charles Myers and Charles Batche- lor, students; Horace Hudson and Charles Batchelor, servants. - ASMC- New Dorcas Building Planned Plans for the new Dorcas Build- ing are shaping themselves since the recent Board Meeting.

Colleges represented a t t h e workshop were Atlantic Union College, Emmanuel Missionary College, Washington Missionary College, Southern Missionary Col- lege, Oakwood College, Union Col- lege, Southwestern Junior College, and the host college, Madison College.

' Some of the topics discussed were the following: election of student officers; student activities on a Christian campus; financing student activities; campus social life; school spirit; fines of various kinds; religious activities; publish- ing a yearbook and a school paper. Exchange of ideas gave each school an opportunity to know the policy of each other school and express itself on the subject. Many guest speakers added in- spiration to the workshop. These included Dr. T. W. Walters, presi- dent of Southern Missionary Col- lege; Dr. L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs at Union College; Elder Gordon Dalrymple, ass~ ciate editor of These Times maga- zine; Elder Teddric Mohr, M.
