Field Trip

About two o'clock, one Thurs- day afternoon, all the biology students met Miss Byrd on the Quadrangle, all ready to go on a field trip. After hiking for about a mile, all the girls broke ranks to find different specimens to examine. They were to endeav- or to find how old the plants were, and to see in real life the things studied about in class.

On the return trip, much to the delighted surprise of the would-be biologists, Miss Byrd led the way to the weiner stand and gave everybody a treat. The whole trip had been enjoyed by each girl so much that hopes were expressed that it could be repeated sometime.

Le Crele Francais

Le Cercle Francois held its regular meeting the afternoon of Jan. 15, 1926. The following program was given: A short sketch from the book, "Madame Roland," by Aarbell, was read by Mile. Georgia Knox. A dis- cussion of the French Salon, or- iginated by Madame Roubouillet, was given by Mile Grace Gar- dener. "Le Marseillaise," the national French song, was sung by the entire club. Interesting games were played, after which refreshments were served.

The English Council

At the suggestion of Miss Hel- en Sails, head of the English Department, the English Coun- cil of LaGrange College, was or- ganized January 15, 1926. The members of the Council are those Seniors who have English as their major study. The pur- pose of the Council is to help its members to a better under- standing of English and how to teach English. As all the mem- bers of the Council expect to teach English next year, it is the plan of the Council to study, under the leadership of Miss Sails, those things that will give us practical knowledge of how to teach high school English. The members of the Council will also do some practice teaching to test out the theories and methods studied. Especial stress will be laid on the methods of teaching literature.

The officers elected were: Gertrude Strain, president; Le- na Terrell, vice president; Mil- dred Pendergrass, secretary. A program committee was appoint- ed, composed of Gertrude Strain, Corinne Martin, and Lena Ter- rell, with Miss Sails acting as chairman. A committee to draw up a constitution for the Coun- cil was also appointed, the mem- bers of which are: Mabel Morrow, Edith Foster and Mildred Pen- dergrass, chairman. Miss Sails, of course, will give suggestions and pass judgment on the con- stitution before it is submitted to the Council for approval.

The Irenian Literary Society gave its first program of the year Saturday night, January 16, 1926. President Mabel Mor- row presided; and the following interesting and enjoyable mis- cellaneous program was given: Piano solo—Elizabeth Holliday. Reading—Gertrude Strain. Vocal solo—Margaret Hamrick. Piano solo—Hortense Hughes. Vocal solo—Mildred Pendergrass

"For We Are Seniors" Saturday evening, for the

first time, the degree Seniors, of which there are sixteen, assum-] ed their so-called "dignity" and, clad in their noble black caps and gowns, ceremoniously took their Senior tables. The Sopho- more sisters, in dresses of the purest white, following Miss Byrd, their sponsor, led the way, in couples, down the flight of steps into the dining hall. Asj they reached the bottom step they divided, making two long, rows. Close behind came Mrs. | Youngblood and solemnly the Seniors marched wown the path- way formed for them by the Sophomores, around the dining hall, and back again to their re- spective places at the tables. As they stood, the Sophomores sang to them; and gaily the Seniors replied with a song.

After this song, every one sat down to enjoy the. first course of dinner. When this was fin- ished, the Seniors sang to their underclassmen a song of advice on midterm, showing that their dignity had not entirely over- shadowed their sense of humor.

Between the second and third courses every one stood while' the Seniors sang of their dear I "Alma Mater."

When the delicious and well-j served dinner was completed the' Seniors attended prayers in a1

body.

Y. W. C. A. Corner Dr. Wallace Rogers, pastor of

Trinity church, Atlanta, former- j ly presiding elder of the La-1 Grange District, was the guest! of the College January 19th and 20th.

Prof. John Knox of Emory University, was the guest of the College on Jan 22 and 23, at which time he made two very helpful talks to the student body and faculty.

Dr. John Jenkins led the Y. W. C. A. services on Sunday evening, Jan. 10, at which time little Jean Constance Thompson was christened.

Miss Maidee Smith, a delegate to the Young Peoples' Confer- ence held at Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 28-31, gave a very interest- ing report of that conference on Sunday evening, Jan. 17.

Mr. T. G. Polhill, Superinten- dent of Troup County Public schools, gave a very helpful talk Sunday evening, Jan. 24, on the "Temperance of Jesus."

With the qfcse of the Senate discussion a™ the favorable vote in the trmaate, the World Court as a ir^Tement requiring student co-operation is finished. The question now is: Will stu- dent interest-subside or will it continue in the establishment of inter-collegiate relations and be centered on broader internation- al questions?*

Most of th* colleges and uni- versities of (foe United States co-operated with Council of Christian Association in the re- cent campaign:

"To create a united and active student opinion favorable to the immediate entrance of the Unit- ed States into the World Court.

"To arouse the student of the United States to a more intelli- gent interest in, and effective influence upon, the foreign poli- cy of the United States."

This campaign was signifi- cant in that it was the first time that the united student Chris- tian movement of America has committed itself on an issue of political nature, and further, it was the first time that the Stu- dent MovenAnt has undertaken so thoroughgoing a campaign of education on a political question on a nation-wide scale. That it succeeded in its first purpose is evident by the returns of the national poll; as for the latter— one may pnjfc hope, and work.

The firstefforts must be di- rected toward keeping the at- titude of eagerness and open- mindedness among the students. If the World CoCrt is regarded as an isolated movement already ended and having no bearing on the future of the students, then it has failed in its second pur- pose. Students must not regard it as a mere fiash-in-the-pan; it was, among other things, but the beginning of greater understand- ing among college men and wo- men. Before the Princeton con- ference was over plans were made for another conference next year at the University of Michigan to bring students and their colleges and universities closer together in interest and purpose.

The organization on our cam- pus that is working primarily for student interest in and in- telligent influence upon politics and for inter-collegiate friend- ship and relations is the Forum of Democracy. Is the Forum going to show us because we think that, now that the World Court has gone thru, there is no use for it? That feeling comes from a misunderstanding of the purpose and organization of the Forum. The purpose is:

First, to acquaint every stu- dent in LaGrange College with vital questions of the day .per- taining to human relationships, on the college campus,, in rural and urban communities, in the state, in the nation, in the world at large;

Second, to encourage every student to reflect upon these

We haven't much to say this time except that we had a per- fectly wonderful time during the holidays, and that we are going to do the best we can to make the new year of 1926 a success.

It's rather hard to have to come back from such good times to face exams, but we made the best of it. Since we have so much studying to do and haven't had time for anything new to happen, we'll have to stop for this time.

Miss Duncan Gives A Talk

Miss Maude Helen Duncan gave an interesting talk Satur- day evening, Jan. 16, on French wife and customs. Comparison was made between French and American modes of living. Miss Duncan is of the belief that each nation might learn something from the other. The informa- tion given was instructive as well as interesting.

While Miss Duncan was abroad she attended the League Con- ference at Geneva. She has graciously promised to tell us about it sometime in the near future.

The De Cartesian Group

The De Cartesian Group, or as it is more commonly known, the Math Club, held its last meeting at the home of its charming president, Miss Kathryn Young, on South Lewis street. During a short business session, it was decided to invite Mr. Clifford Smith to become an honorary member of this "learned" so- ciety of mathematicians. The program for the evening consis- ted primarily of an instructive, interesting and humorous lec- ture by Mr. Smith on one of his favorite recreations, recreation- al mathematics. Mr. Smith fur- ther added to the enjoyment of the evening with his jokes. An- other most delightful feature of the evening was the refresh- ments, delicious fruit cake and charlotte russe.

This is only the second year of the club's existence, but it has proven to be one of the most en- joyable and instructive clubs on the hill. It's membership con- sists of the students who have mathematics as their major sub- ject, and the honorary members, Miss Dunn and Mr. Bailey.

Stretching her "exterior ap- pendages" until they stood like ready sentinels, the Eavesdrop- per perceived a low mournful clanking of chains. As the sounds grew more distinct the Eavesdropper recognized the voice of a freshman in the toils of her first college examination —or maybe it was a Senior!

Swooping into the kitchen she heard one o fthe cooks who had overheard two Latin I students discussing the' biith of Minerva, lamenting the rank heresy which the teachers were forc- ing on "de po' girls." Poor Irene probably thinks that the birth of Minerva is the latest develop- ment in the evolution theory.

Forcing her way into a group of Seniors, she heard accounts of a multitude of bold adven- turous deeds—more undone than done; easier dreamed of than accomplished, though, no doubt, this will be a different world be- fore most of the Seniors feel the frost of twenty-five winters.

Sweeping into the misty moon- light, along the walks of the Garden of Romance, she heard the low, sweet sounds of an humble masculine voice. It was Mr. Wynne proposing to Miss Byrd—proposing that she sell Mercer Glee Club tickets to the college girls.

Into a private meeting the Evesdropper intruded. She heard .—yea, a little later,; she was heard to murmur, as she" relax- ed and slunk iotn a dark corner, "Why isn't it my business?" Ah! Eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves.

Le CERCLE FRANCAIS TAKES A HIKE

problems in a spirit of earnest- ness, liberality and Christian love.

Third, to develop in every stu- dent the power of expressing her convictions with fluency and force;

Forth, to stimulate in every student a keen desire to shoul- der her personal responsibilities as a citizen of America and of the greater Republic of God.

The members of Le Cercle Francais recently took a hike in- stead of having their meeting in the usual way. They met on the steps of Hawkes Building, all dressed in knickers and wearing smiles to top it all off. Each had a partner to hike with, and off they went.

The hike was fairly long, just long enough to create a good ap- petite; hence they were in just the right mood to enjoy a weiner roast. They had jumped ditch- es, rolled under or climbed over barbed wire fences, and enjoyed freedom generally. So now, when announcement was made for each girl to bring the same number of pieces of wood for the fire as the number of weiners she expected to eat, there was a grand rush to gather up wood. Then some of the girls built a fire and the fun began. Gee! Don't weiners with catchup or mustard on the buns taste good out on a "doggie roast?" And, say, did you ever try toasting the bums a bit? If you haven't then do so sometime, tired but happy, they agreed When they landed on the hill, time they took a different route, back to school again, only this

After the roast they started that it was a most enjoyable hike and expressed the wish that other meetings might be spent in this manner.

"Democracy is something deep- er than liberty it is responsi- bility." We, as college students, should realize this and act ac- cordingly. We hear people con- stantly referring to our "pre- paring for life." Well, we are living now just as much as we will be when we get out of col- lege. Why not do something now to help the world and demo- cracy? We can, you know. This was demonstrated by the influ- ence the National World Court niuuem, rtoi'l had in causing the U. S. Senate to decide in favor

"of our nation's joining the World Court. This World Court Stu- dent Poll indicated to our gov- ernment what the youth of the land is thinking concerning our international relationships. It is the first time students of America have been asked their opinion on a great national issue, but it won't be the last—so let's keep wide awake.

Prohibition needs our aid, and needs it badly. God grant that we may give thoughtful, skillful aid. The question is being dis- cussed in all walks of life all over this great country of ours; and we should help to make opinion on the subject be what it should be. R. H. Polofson, in an article in "The International Student," says some things that are worth quoting. Extracts from his article are given be- low :

"It was James Bryce, that im- partial student of American democracy, who said, when writ- ing of how public opinion oper- ates in this country, that it grows by TALK—talks of man with man—and that personal discussion is perhaps the chief medium of effective opinion in this republic.

If such discussion is funda- mental, a plan that permits the enlargement of its spirit and method so as to include groups and forum discussions for the facts on the prohibition situa- tion is bound to help develop public opinion on that issue It would permit truth to be discov- ered and enable it to grow. It would be, in fact, much more than the declaiming of that which is known, or supposed to be known, as is customary in public oratory.

The need for serious and bal- anced study, of the foundations of this whole subject by under- graduates today is imperative. Most of them were too young to gain much from the pre-amend- ment discussion campaigns; many are victims of the idle froth that is being tossed about in social parlors, thru the press and stage. All too often their discussion of this question has been on a cynical, jocular, and prejudiced plan which in no sense typefies their attitude on other public issues. In forum discussions the hope is to lift the consideration of the whole matter to be a fair-minded and serious plane.

Plans and methods are being perfected by the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association to en- courage this kind of discussion in the colleges where the ques- tioning is most alert."

Heaven—Via Trellis Gwendolyn had been at school

just exactly three days. During that time she had written Rob just exactly three specials, each one telling how deep her grief was because of their reparation Oh yes, she was in love, no doubt, her sorority sisters at the Mu Tau house. But—who can truthfully tell the workings of a feminine heart, especially when that heart belongs to a young vicacious girl of nineteen, the possessor of a crown of gold- en curly hair, dazzling in the sunshine, and big blue eyes, capable of expressing any emo- tion known to any daughter of ''•.. V tttiu iJiicli a disposition, sunny and gay—no flaw—save an overwhelming desire for the attention of the whole force of the opposite sex! Such a girl was Gwendolyn and she was in love, as she said—"well—just 'cause, girls, he's so delightfully old-fashioned, no 'ha'f pints' for him—but he isn't sissy—if he were, how could he get this pin, and he has such adorable violet eyes, pansy eyes, girls, and hair —like—well, just like I've al- ways thought I'd want the head of my family to have."

It was just exactly three days after this public declaration of affection—on a cool clear Sep- tember afternoon that she was sitting on the Mee Tan porch and saw "him" approaching. No, dear reader, not Rob, (the only way Rob was concerned was that his pin was given a violent knock as the little heart under it skipped a beat, then pounded with hammer like force.) Who could he be? Col- legiate, every inch, from his hatless head to his rolled down socks; tall, big, and muscular; cian god in a grey flannel suit mering in the sunlight; and vel- vety brown eyes—and such a smile! Having noticed Gwendol- yn staring at him, he looked up and displayed a flash of white teeth, with almost a hint of a salutation on his lips. He passed on; but she, being unable to curb her curiosity, turned in the hammock and watched the Gre- cian god in a grey annel suit and and waving trousers flap him- self out of sight.

"Whew—if Jason had a face and frame like that, I don't blame Circe for singing her naughtiest song to catch him."

By twelve o'clock that night Gwendolyn was firmly convinc- ed she was hopelessly in love

with the god of the sleek black hair. She had hui ted up a doz- en books trying to convince her- self there was sui h a thing as love at first sigh.. Hut—until she could obtain ; introduction and bring him in > show to the girls, as her priz-* she would keep her secret ■'"• to hei

The part that v y >e he would not like her neve Centered her head. Had she n:t broken.a score of hearts y accepting Rob's pen? Oh, . v, her's was the confidence of outh in its charms.

Before she s1" it that night she performed the%uneral rit- uals for Rob's letters. Tenderly yet not sadly, :\e unloosed Rob's pin for the ' ist time and caressed it—"not, —as she said to herself, "for lc |'s sake, but for the sake of th. never-to-be- forgotten night of cs dedication at her shrine." Sh; placed it in a box, addressed it and enclos- ed a little note wit'i it , telling her former fiance >iow impossi- ble it was for her l"> keep it un- der the circumstances, and say- ing a score of other, things in- tended to serve as a balm for Rob's broken heart How sorry she was to have to do it; But love should be the s-»txre ne ruler of her life, and wafgshe not in •Jove with the you .g ,god ?

Sleep that nigl,' was gone —a thousand thoi*hts flitted through her mind-|what is his name? Where doe. he work? Or does he go to college some- where?. All of tb; SB thoughts came to her; but t'bmost was this thought—Hov ould she rppo.t him ? jpfa J

Next day, at the same hour as the afternoon be lore. Gwen sat in the hammock seemingly ab- sorbed in a book but really wait- ing for "him" to pass. She was rewarded, for, finally, up the street came the young god— more handsome, she thought, than ever. Under his arm he carried a bundle. "Oh yes"—

she thought, "such an unusual boy going on an errand for his mother. How perfectly sweet of him!" He, seeing her admir- ing glance, smiled again, as he had done yesterday. Her joy knew no bounds. Wouldn't the girls in the house envy her when she had him in LOW?

Every day, for two weeks, Gwendolyn took up her station on the porch. Every day he would pass, oftentimes with a bundle under his arm, and every time he would give her one of those glorious smiles and a low salutation. "Those smiles!" she said to herself, "They are so adoring, just as if he were try- ing to tell me how he wishes an introduction too! And isn't he modest? Won't even try to start a conversation."

Meanwhile, Rob had wired and written asking her to please re- consider. "Aren't you mistak- en? Say you are." But Gwen- dolyn hardened her heart and sent a curt little reply saying that she was absolutely not in love with him any more—could she not .nidge her own heart?

Finally, one day Gwendolyn decided something had to hap- pen one way or the other. So she quickly formulated a plan— In front of the Mu Tau house was a trellis covered with climb- ing roses. These roses needed training; and this could be done only by climbing the trellis. Why shouldn't she do it the next day

and just as he passed, fall down accidently. He would pick her up; and—pronto!—they would know each other. Even the thaught caused a thrill of expec- tant joy.

Next day, Fate dealt with two turbing factors. One was a let- ter from Rob, begging her to give him just one more date— tb-i next night. Laughing, yet annoyed, she tore the letter up and tossed it in the trash bas- ket. The other was the fact that overnight, it had rained, and the ground was spongy and puddled. But nothing daunted, Gwendolyn donned her most fetching bib and tucker and sauntered out to the trellis to await the opportune moment to ascend heavenward. She re- marked to herself: "A funny way to get to heaven, on a trel- lis, but—if I mistake not, I'll soon be there."

Her patience was rewarded, for, iinally, down the street he came, as usual carrying a pack- age. Gwendolyn began to climb the trellis, but—alas!—she had reckoned not with the weakness of the boards. Crash! she was really falling, no make believe about that, and he was rushing towards her. Too late! Unable to hang on any longer, she land- ed heavily and noisily in a pud- dle of water, drenching herself and splashing water over her would-be rescurer, who quickly picked her up, regardless of her disheveled hair and muddy dress and calmly took out a handker- chief and began wiping the mud from her face. "Isn't he hand-

L-rWl'l

thoughtful! How gentle he is!" Then she looked down at her dress. Neither of the two had spoken a word. Gwendolyn broke the silence thus: "Oh, thank you. Won't you come in and brush the mud off your suit? I'm so sorry! And look at my dress! Isn't it terrible! I'm sure it will never come clean."

His face broke into one of those glorious smiles and he said:

"Oh yes, da leddy do nota know. I maka da spots coma out at my laundry. See dis." And he began to undo the bun- dle he had been carrying.

Gwendolyn's eyes were filled with bewilderment and incredul- ity. "What—who are you? I thought—." Words failed her.

"Oh de pretty leddy wisha me !to tella my name? It is Tony. | My wifa and I, we runna da laundry roun' da comer."

Gwendolyn forced a smile. "Oh, thank you, a thousand times," and she rushed into the house, leaving an astounded man in the yard.

Gwendolyn reached her room and was quickly washing her shattered dreams away with tears when she suddenly got up, rushed to the waste paper bas- ket, picked up a scrap of paper, and read: "I love you." She sniffed, then smiled through her tears, and said: "Well—we'll see tomorrow night. And Rob has heavenly pansy eyes."

From The Viewpoint Of The Juniors

we are about to enter on anoth- er we are very glad that we have four months an which to make stepping stones of our past mistakes and give to our college the best that is in us. As a class, and as individuals, we want to do all we can to carry out the col- lege ideal during the days to come. Our heritage is wonder- ful that, as we start the jour- ney into the next semester, we would pause and ask ourselves just what the LaGrange College ideal is and how we may help to uphold and elevate it. We realize that the college ideal is determ- ined by the students. One of the most vital requisites to ac- hieving success for our college and making the spirit of La- Grange College felt is co-opera- tion. "College ideals become ac- tual only as they are embodied in the life of the student body." So we, as Juniors, "forgetting those things which are behind and looking forward to those things which are before" hope to give ourselves to the common purpose of the whole student body to make our college grow in power and influence. We say with Benjamin Franklin, "We must all hang together or we will all hang separately."

"It ain't the guns nor armament, Nor funds that they can pay But the close co-operation, That maites them win the day.

It ain't the individual Nor the army as a whole, But the everlasting team-work Of every hloomin' soul."

Just a moment please— As twilight falls and daylight lowers, I think and dream of those happy

hours, Those hours spent at home with

thee— :"y Mother.

I think of how good you were to me then—

How sad and grieved you seemed to be when

You-told me goodby, Dear mother.

If time would fly backward in her swift flight

I would be with thee again tonight In perfect bliss— My mother.

Why am I lonely and heartsick and blue?

Why am I sad when the holidays are through ?

It's all for you, My mother.

I want you and need you all the while, I long for a touch of your hand and a

smile, I want just you, My mother.

I often have wondered what good col- lege is—

Now I know it's all just to make you miss

And do without, Your mother.

When hours go by and I'm longing for her,

And I sit so still and quiet like I wouldn't ever stir

Except for the tears, For mother.

I've learned what mother really

means to me, For the first time I see that she ever

will be Dear, sweet mother, My mother.

And I know the bitterness of doing without her,

And I spend most of my time thinking about her

And longing for her— My mother.

Now I know what's the sweetest word I can say

And I breathe it a million or more times a day,

It's the word mother, Just "mother." This is station L. C. F. W., La-

This is station H. 0. M. broadcast- ing. Just a minute— I would that I had wings like the

dove, Daughter o' mine, oh daughter o' mine., I'd fly to thee with comfort and love, Daughter o' mine, oh daughter o' mine.

But as mortals not yet have learned to fly, liter o' mine, oh, daughter o'

mine, Accept advice—'Twill do no good to

cry. Daughter o' mine, oh, daguhter o'

i mine.

WHO AM I?

Be your job a big or small one, In life's game it plays a part

In service to your fellow-men; So plug with all your heart.

There's advancement for the plug- ger—

For the man who plays the man; Who worries not what others do,

But does the best he can. —Frank A. Collins, in Forbes.

I am the foundation of all happi- ness.

I am the fount of all prosperity. I am the parent of genius. I am the salt that gives life its

savor. I have laid the foundation of every

fortune in American, from Rocke- feller's down.

Loved, I make life sweet and pur- poseful and fruitful.

I can do more to advance youth than his own parents, be they ever so rich.

Fools hate me, wise men love me. I am represented in every loaf of

bread that comes from the oven, in every train that croses the continent, in every ship that steams over the ocean, in every newspaper that comes from the press.

I am the mother of democracy. All progress sprimg from me. Who am I? I am WORK.

Margaret Trundle: "I don't know, Miss Winn; if I did, I'd use the same method."

Frances: "Is Elizabeth a very good artist?"

Evelyn: "Well, I should say so. The other day she drew a hen so natural that when she threw it in the waste basket it laid there."

"The Alumni History of Emory University," a volume in which the utmost attention will be given to ar- tistic finish and to accuracy of con- tents, will be ready for distribution sometime in February. It is inteded that this volume shall preserve for all time the memory and record of Emory men.—Emory Wheel.

An English class at the College of William and Mary is to debate the question: "Resolved, That Co-eds should pay half of the expenses in- curred during social engagements." The college paper says that it is doubtful whether there will be more 'dating' and less studying or less 'dating' and more studying if this question in won by the affirmative.— Hornet.

SPIRIT OF L. C.

Why is it that so many of the col- lege journalists choose for their foot- ball teams to play in a "SEA OF MUD?" We would like to suggest that a few of the remaining games be played in Oceans, Lakes, Streams, and Rivers of the same substance— anything for a change—The Hornet.

The Ward-Belmont Hyphen, pub- lished by the students of Ward-Bel- mont has listed a few of the 1925 crimes:

Highway Robbery: Holding up a Senior as a good example.

Murder: Killing time during exams. ^arceny: Stealing a Hsj fttSin a

crush. Money under false pretenses: Ten

dollars from Dad for dues. Bribery: Offering the teacher a

good excuse for poor work. Perjury: Telling your parents how

hard you study.—Hornet.

There is one thing, particularly, that will enhance our personal worth towards our fellow students at Ran- dolph-Macon—a genuine smile. A smile is the most valuable asset a girl can have whether in school or out. Without it a pretty face is meaning- less and stylish clothes lose their charm. An artifical smile is almost as bad as none at all, but a sincere smile will win friends very soon. People appreciate being spoken to and a mere indifferent "Hi" is not suffici- ent, for the tone of voice and expres- sion of face lend charm to the person- ality. A "snooty" person helps neith- er herself nor other, for disinterest never attracts friends, and can one live without friends ? "They take the sunshine from the world who take friendship from life."—The Sun Dial.

New System For University of Paris To induce students to forget the |

Latin Quarter of Paris, and to give them the advantage of a collegiate j life and the opportunity to work in a collegiate atmosphere, commodious residence quarters have been opend at the University of Paris. This is but a step toward a "university city", which the school officials hope to |

build. This group of buildings is in-1

terspersed with grass plots suggesting English suburban villas. They pro- vide quarters for 375 students, an assembly room, library, restaurant and athletic field.

The University has acquired a plot of forty acres w;hj •'• f- i-med at OTI<»

time part of the southern fortifica- tions of the city. A donation of 10,- 000,000 francs made this extension possible. Other countries have been invited to establish residences for their nationals, and a committee of cooperation has been formed. Cana- da has begun to build and plans are under way for a Belgian and Argen-

1 tine College. Most of the lectures | will continue to be given at the Sor- bonne and other buildings of the Uni- versity of Paris, which may be reach- ed in a few minutes by underground railway from the "university city." —The University Echo.

UNUSUAL HONOR FOR ROME AUTHOR

When a man gets old and growls a lot, they call him an old bear. If a young man laughs and talks in a breezy manner he is a fresh cub. If one mistreats his wife, he is a cur. If he is a polite unmarried fellow he is a dog. If he is stuck on everyone he meets, he is a jackass. If he likes no one he meets, he is a horse. We have reached the conclusion that it doesn't mean anything. Is it true that "a man is a man for all that and all that?"—The Mercer Cluster.

Rome, Ga. —(Special.)—A distinc- tion falling to few Americans, and possibly to no other American wo- man, and certainly none in the south, has been conferred upon Miss Frances Andrews, of Rome, who has been nom- inated to membership in the Iinterna- tional Academy of Letters and Science, founded in Naples, Italy.

Notice of her acceptability to mem- bership in this distinguished organiza- tion was received by Miss Andrews in a letter from Fritz Holm, LL.D., vice president for the Americans with of- fices in Paris. Her election by the

"Thy name shall be crowned with glory,

Thy fame shall be spread far and near,

And children shall hear the sweet story,

THE FRESHMAN'S PSALM

Blessed is the Freshman that walk- eth through the depths of examina- tions, that cometh out smiling, with an "A" on his papers.

But his delight is in the law of the teacher; and on his lessons doth the Freshman study day and night.

And he shall be as a God placed among his unfortunate classmates, if he maketh his A's every semester; and whatsoever he doeth shall please his mama.

The other Freshmen do not receive A's but E's and F's appear on their reports.

Therefore, the unfortunate shall not pass in the spring, nor shall their mamas' be pleased with their record.

For his mama knoweth the way of the "A" Freshman, but the way of the unfortunate shall perish.

CAROLYN McLENDON.

On January 3rd, several members of the LaGrange College Glee club led the musical program of the Episcopa- lian church. The girls who took part in this program were: Miss Mary Lumpkin, of Franklin, Georgia; Miss Evelyn Newton, of Atlanta; Miss Hor- tense Hughes, of Bolton, Geogoia; and Miss Janette Morrow, of Carrollton.

They were delighted to have the privilege of attending the Episcopa- lian service; and, as added members of the choir, they rendered several beautiful hymns.

After the musical program, which consumed only a short while, they had the pleasure of hearing an inspiring sermon, rendered by Bishop Michael, of Atlanta.

On January 24th, following this, was a program given at Unity church. All members of the Glee club took part in this program. The following numbers were given by the entire Glee club: "Ring Out Wild Bells," Kipling's "Recessonial," "As Parts the Hart," and "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" was rendered, as a vocal solo, by Miss Sara Jackson; and Miss Beva McMillin played a violin solo.
