Beautiful Service inMemoryofMother Conducted

NOTED SPEAKER

Rev. Mr. Smith is Well-Known asReligious Writer and Author

Rev. Wade C, Smith, pastor of the Churchby the Side of the Road, and author of re-ligious books and treatises, was the speakerat the Mother's Day service of the Y. M.C. A. Sunday evening.

The text treated is found in Proverbs1:8, and also Proverbs 6:20: "My son, for-sake not the law of thy mother." A. N,Monott, of the "Y" cabinet, read the Scrip-ture.

The speaker in his opening remarks calledattention to God's blessing on Davidson, andurged his hearers to be witnesses to Hispower, anil so to make their mothers proudof them.

"The law of mother is love, the greatest,most powerful of all laws. We love ourmothers for the same reason that we loveJesus, because our mothers first loved us.

"The greatest word is God: the deepestword is soul: the longest word is eternity:the dearest word is mother. The mostprecious thought is the thought of a mother."

Here Doctor Smith quoted, as elsewherein his address, poems of tribute to mother.He called attention tothe song which hailbeen sung by the Ministerial Hand Quartet,"Mother, asIthink of thee.'tis hut a step !oCalvary."

Great mothers of the Bible, includingSarah, the mother of Isaac: the mother pi

Moses, who concealed him for three monthsand later nursed him; Naomi, who was somotherly to Ruth that Ruth went with herinto another land, to take her religion andher home; Hannah, who dedicated her sonto the Lordj Samson's mother, who by hertemperance made it possible for Samson :■!lake the Nazarite vow; the Sliunaniile wom-an, who sought out the prophet to restoreher dead son to life; and Mary, the motherof Jesus; were paid homage by the speakerThe mothers of great nun.

NEW VERSETO COLLEGE SONGISSUGGESTED

O, DAVIDSON

The present words of 0!Davidson arc suited ispc-cially to athletic contests. The following words havebeen suggested tobe used on other occasions:

Oh,Davidson, we will be true,Your spirit thrills us thru and thru.

We love you ever,Desert you never

For youare a great old school.And going forth on every side,Old Davidson, you'll be our pride,For we will conquer as for you we sing:

Oh Davidson, you will findusEver true to be.

Oh Davidson, something binds usEver close to thee.

Fight on foreverFrom dawn to set of sun

Strong in the spirit ofOld Davidson.

With Other EditorsTHE SOCIAL CENTER

Probably the biggest project attempted by stu-dents of the University of Richmond for severalyears is the proposed student social center com-partment to be established in the Roger MillhiscrMemorial Gymnasium. Rooms nicely furnishedwith pictures on the walls and plenty comfortablefurniture, a supply of stationery, a collection ofmagazines and college exchanges and access to atelephone, comprise a few of the advantages of-fered by such an arrangement. The importance ofhaving some sort of social center building forstudents oneveryuniversity campus is universallyrecognized. Young men are inclined to flock to-gether like sheep and thrive best when an op-portunity is offered to do so.

At this institution there seems to be little hopefor the erection of a complete social center build-ing in the near future. Officials recognize theneed, but believe that congested dormitory con-ditions should be given consideration first. Forthis reason it is not likely that students nowattending the University may expect to enjoyprivileges to be offered by a social center buildingunless they take the initiative in the establish-ment of some place that will amply answer tnepresent needs. From all appearances it seemsbest to promote the idea proposed and adoptedat a recent meeting of the student body.

The idea of arranging social center rooms inthe gymnasium was approved and endorsed byofficials and theBoard of Trustees of the Univer-sity. The Board of Trustees even went so faras to offer to meet the students dollar for dollarup to the amount of five hundred dollars for thisproject. The social center committee, which iscomposed of students representing the fourclasses, decided that it would not be asking toomuch for each member of the student body andfaculty to contribute and give their full supportto a project which will be worth at least severaltimes its cost. The faculty have paid their sharein full.

This undertaking is purely a student proposi-tion. It has ben started and the active campaignthis week has placed the final goal almost inreach, but it is important that each student shouldtake some part in the establishment of this rec-ognized undertaking. Every youngman at Rich-mond College should feel a desire to sacrificesome pleasuresin order to make his contribution.The spirit should be established here that existsat many other institutions— the one that makesthe students feel obliged to putsomething into theuniversity This social center proposal offers anexcellent opportunity for the establishment ofsuch a school spirit and attitude.

Fraternities, organizations and various clubs onthe campus could undertakenothing better at thepresent time than to take hold of the social cen-ter project and assist in making it an immediatesuccess.

Why not make the enterprise one in whichevery student can feel that he sacrificed some-thing in order to takepart? To support a move-ment of this kind may involve a deprivation of afew pleasures temporarily, but the returns invalue to the social life of the campus cannot bemeasured in terms of dollars and cents.

—Rich-

mond Collegian.

Such a policy is beneficial to the school,for experienceis a great teacher and a teamis usually better in its second engagementthan in its first- This year we lose five menof the eight whorepresented us on the plat-form. New material is needed to fill theirplaces. It is up to us to keep debating onthe same high plane which it has occupiedduring the past year.

ChaffVACATION

Ami now, summer is almost here with us. Fromall reports of the trusty Swamp Root Almanacand all local prognosticators of weather signs,this coming season is going to be one of hot days,hot times, and hot tempers. Indeed, webelieve inour trusty almanac to such an extent, that weforecast to a certainty the exact shade and colorof the weather on any prescribed day one maymention. This should be of great help to ourreaders and they may avail themselves of theservice by writing and enclosing a self-addressed'and compressed envelope which will be answeredfree gratis for nothing.

We have gone to a great expense in collectingdata f«>r our readers who may be touristically in-clined, and we arc hereby giving a few hints forroutes that will lead to vacation happiness.

Places mentioned below will prove of double-barrelled interest to all those with trips in view:

Atlantic City— This is a far-famed wateringand likkcring place noted for its waves, perma-nent and otherwise. One piece bathing suits arein vogue this year,with plenty of sand in abund-ance. Boats arc rented with a crusing radiusof three miles, cheaply. Stop at the HokumHotel, Scandinavian plan, and enjoy the seabreezes and mosquitos.

Hollywood— This Mecca of frantic film fans isone of the jewels of our Western coast. Starsshine here day and night, and photographs aremade free of charge. Parking facilities arc un-limited and all unnecessary scandal is eliminated.See the Ferocious and Fierce Film Flappers intheir native habitat. Aeroplanes parked free ofcharge. Cars extra.

Yellowstone Park—

No need tobring yourBlack-stone with you to argue with the guides, they'reall foreign born and think a tip is an insult. Setyour watch by Old Faithful Geyser, and put offyour annual bath until youreach the Hot Springs.Fish for sardines in the hotel sinks and get backto nature in the wild and wooly way. Dresssuits rented for all Indian ceremonials, and babyparades held each month, the winners gettinghuge U-totcm poles as prizes.

The Grand Canyon— Revel in the pure and un-adulterated ozone of the Canyon, with its pris-matic and effervescent cascades effuging theirsilvery sheen over the heterogeneous and multi-lined wind carved caverns. Banish the perplex-ing problems of urban solicitudes and vibratewith the synchronized vocal emanations of thelordly stag and the golden eagle that thrusts hispinions into the ethereal blue to soar over un-chartered and primeval wildernesses that protecttheir virgin fastnesses from human eyes. Goodred likker only four berries per gal.

Salt Lake City— The old maid's paradise onearth. Take your choiceand avoid the rushboys.Dive for pearls in the Salt Lake, and salt yoursugar right along. All cow-punchers are expect-ed to watch and not scar the ball room floorswith their shooting. Free parking service fortourists; plain and fancy baggage smashing atcheap rates. Stock up with water here beforegoing to Hollywood, as there is none at thatplace.

New York City— A nice hick town for Apple-Knockers. Avoid gold brick agents and don't buythe Woolworth building. See Ellis Island andhear Long Island Sound. If suffering frommsommnia, be sure to ride the elevated. ReadHomer and see Babe Ruth knock a few for pas-time. Be sure to see the house where the firstsaxaphonc was made, and also visit the big in-sane asylum next door. If your name is Smith,go up to Albany and shake hands with Al, helikes it. It is best to wear a red bandana aroundone's neck to keep the dust from the neck. Beespecially watchful and don't sunburn your ton-sils looking up at the high buildings.

Davidson— It is best not to come to this placeif suffering from nervous diseases, as the noisesof the city are mighty trying. Many points ofscenic interest are at this quaint little city nest-led at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Tread the con-crete walks and recline beneath the shade of thedrug store sign. Visit Main Street at night andsec the gay white way at its worst. Notice theneatly uniformed police force and street cleaners,also the beautiful stores and antique shops. See

. the city zoo and aquarium. Leave all husband-seeking daughters behind.

For Those Who Remain at HomeIn event that you do not get to go on a vaca-

tion, the following suggestions may be of bene-fit. The recipe willbe found to be nearly as goodas the real thing. No guarantee is attached tothis offer but it is hoped that it willplease allconcerned.

No.l. Scatter hay on a medium sized tin room,and pitch your tent there. Mix thoroughly sev-eral handfuls of assorted bugs and beetles, shake

changes have had to bemade,but inthe lastfew years due to the continual constructionwork on the campus, the grass has beendestroyed in a great many places, and thebeauty of the campus has been lessened.During the past year a concerted campaignfor the improvementof the campus hasbeencarriedon andmuch has been accomplished.There yet remains a great deal to be doneand it is up to us to co-operate with theauthorities to make our campus more pre-sentable.

Day after tomorrow the Seniors start ontheir examinations. This marks the finaldays of four years work. For the last timethe men of '24 will have a chance to shoottheir professors. For a large number whoare exempt from examinations the endcomes tomorrow,but theothers have stillalittle way to go. It is their final test. Onthe work of the next few days depends thesuccess of four years of college life. Wewish the men of '24 every success,both dur-ingthe test of the next fewdays and in theirpost-college life.

DCarolina has annexed theState Champion-

ships in football, basketball, and track. N.C. State has the inside track in the race forbaseball honors. Trinity, though defeatedby the Wildcats on the mat, has an evenclaim with Carolina for the wrestler'scrown.On the tennis courts the Carolina doublesteam carried off tlie honors, but a Davidsonman, Harry Price, wins the honor of beingthe premier tennis player of the state. Inwinning the singles championship Priceshowed a wonderful fighting heart. Beatenin the first two sets, 4-6, 5-7, he came backin the next two and tied his finals matchwith Solomon of Carolina by winning 6-2,0-0. Then in the final set Solomon took thelead 4-.? but Price after his game comebackwasnot tobe beatenandtook thenext threegames and the match. Price clinched hisright to the titleby defeatingSolomonagainin a dualmeet with Carolina.

DON TO BLUE RIDGE

TO the student of Davidson the YoungPeople's Conference at Rlue Ridge,June 17-26,offers a greatopportunity.

The summer vacation offers a great manyopportunites to every studentof today. In-stead of a period when the student tries toforget and unlearn all that he has acquiredduring the school year, the summer vacationshould be a practical training school wherehe puts into practice the ideas of correctlivingwhich he has learned.

Last year seven Davidsonstudents attend-ed the Blue Ridge Conference. There theydiscussed the problems of Christian livingwith the leaders of religious thought oftoday. Each derived from the associationand companionship, a dearer insight intopracticalChristianity. They weregiven thefacts, and givenan opportunity to face themsquarely. Theynot onlylearned from theseworld leaders,butalso from associationwithmen from other colleges.

This same opportunityis open to us againthis year One hundred and fifty schoolsand colleges from ten states have signifiedtheir intention of sending delegates to theconference. Davidson is included in thenumber- It is up to each of us individuallywhether we will take advantage of this op-portunity or not. We should at least thinktwice about the Blue RidgeConference be-fore makingour definite summer plans.

DEBATINGOur debating teams have had a successful

year, winning two out of three varsity en-gagements and splitting even on the twofreshman debates held. Washington andLee and Emory lost to the Red and Blackspeakers while Trinity won a decision fromDavidson. In the freshman debates theWildcats won from Carolina and lost toWake Forest in a triangle debate. Theteam which lost to Wake Forest was theonly one of the negative teams to receive asingle vote of the judges.

The student body has given the debatingteamsbetter support than has beenaccordedspeakers in years. A capacityaudience list-enedto the Washington andLee debate,anda largenumber of students went to Queensfor the Emory debate. In former years thedebating teams have been financed by theliterary societies of the college, but nowdebating has become a student body ac-tivity. The students voted an addition tothe blanket fee to cover the costof.debates.

Great interest has been shown in the de-bate preliminaries. All of the preliminarycontests for places on the teams were hotlycontested. One fact,however,is noticeable:Not a single man has gone out for morethan one debate. Formerly the debatingcouncil adopted the unwritten rule that noman should hold a place on more than onedebating team a year,but their opinionhaschanged: EveTy'ttSritt is **por» to anyone,whether he has debated previously or not.In many schools the policy is adopted, ofpicking a good team and letting it debatetwo or more schols on the same subject.

THE DAVIDSONIAN, MAY 15, 19244

Away hack in the dim ages of baseball,Davidson had a team that played just as fastball as any team in the state at the presenttime. Inthose days the great national gamewas undergoing a transition from the popu-lar game of townball.and the game today islaid along the lines that were followed wheneach side had as many players as it choieand everyone participated. Such was theinformation of Dr. E. M. Summercll, whograduated from Davidson hack in '76. andwho now lives near Salisbury,

At a recent ball game played on the localdiamond, a member of the Davidsoniau staffnoticed an elderly gentleman sitting on thetop row of the bleachers who seemed to hekeenly interested in the game that was beingplayed by the two contending teams. Seeinga close decision made at the home plate, heleaned over and asked the younger man aboulthe ruling of the play.

The member of the Davidsonian staff,wishing to he polite, drifted into a discus-sion of rules that every one that has everseen a ball game knows well, lie even wentso far as to say that the ball had to go be-tween the first and third bases before it wasa hit. The old gentleman looked at him andlaughed, "Why. bless you. son. 1 playvdbaseballback here 50 years ago, and haven tforgotten all about the game."

Both of them laughed at this remark, andDr. Summercll, for such it proved to be,launched into an interesting discussion of thegrand old game as be knew it. He came toDavidson in 1872. when the college, just re-covering from the ravages of the war, hadonly a few students and a small corps of in-structors. Where Richardson field is todaywas only a pine grove at that time and theathletic activities were conducted on a smalllot north of the campus. Dr. Summercllsaid that he had- a fondness fur town balland that when abaseball club was organizedhere the spring after he came, he joined andmade the team. He played every positionon the field, including pitaher, catcher, andinfielder. A pitcher was rightly named inthose times, as a rule was in effect that theball had tobe "pitched" and not thrown. Thecatcher stood some distance behind the hat-ter and caught the ball on the first bounce.It is doubtful today whether some of thebest players would care to stop the .ballsthat they threw in that time, at least withthe same kind of receiving apparatus. Noth-ing but the bare hands was used, and it issaid that very few errors were made by thefielders although the balls were hurledaround the lot with a bullet-like speed anda deadly accuracy. Home-made bats of thegood hickory variety were the instrumentsused and the balls were made the same asthose used today. No established rules hadbeen formulated and a new brand of ruleswere made at every contest, each contendingteam trying to fashion the regulations to suitthemselves.

A game was fixed up between the localteam of young sports and a club at Concordfor anice spring day. The other team came,saw, and conquered, leaving with somethinglike a 39 to 2 victory in their possession. According to Dr. Summcrell, no intercollegiategames were played until a later date, thesport being entirely novel, and had not "vengained a foothold at most of the state Insti-tutions.

Dr. Summerell, in spite of his age ci over.70 years, is anactive practitionerof medicineand a successful farmer. He told of a re-union of the members of his class in 1916,in which only about a dozen attended. Heknows of only one more member of the'same class who is living today, but he hope:;to have a little private reunion of the classmembers on the fiftieth anniversary of theclass. Dr. Summerell is still a loyal alum-nus and is for everything pertaining to theadvancement of the college.

i At the Mouther's Day service of the"j Ministerial Hand last Sunday, the Handwas exceptionally favored by a talk from

i Mrs. T. W. Lingle. Mrs. Lingle did not,i,attempt to eulogize Motherhood as is the

custom /or men speakers on Mothers';[Day, but she spoke to the band as a1 Mother of love and encouragement fromi Mothers.

In beginning she told something ofthe attitude of women toward the at-

11 tent inn of men. Women resent cold!chivalry,politeness not promptedby love!

and they resent the condescending grat-itude of protection on the part of some

!men for the weaker sex,because womenhave been recognized more or less asthe equal of men. She cautioned themembers of the Ministerial Hand thatthey study their mothers and otherwomen that they might have a better un-derstanding of womankind before theygo into the ministry on account of themajority of women in the church,

As a matron of Davidson she ask-ed the men to help the mothers of thecommunity in maintaining the moralstandards of Davidson both by beingcareful in the selection of girls invitedto events on the Hill, and by improvingthe humorous material in our collegepublications,

In speaking of the relations betweenmother and son, Mrs. 1.ingle told of thelittle attention and expressions of lovethat a mother wanted from a sou anilthings which would make a mother's

!life happier.,' The relations between a mother andI

daughter are entirely different from thoseof mother and son. A mother lives herlife over again in that of her daughter,hut a son is just another suitor. She ex-pects of him little attentions of love

I which gladden her heart and brightenher life. He can practice the courshipof his girl on his mother by taking herto a show occasionally, by giving her

. jlittle things (hat he knows she likes, and.by spending some time with her. Ajson should have his mother meet bisj friends, both girls and hoys. Mrs.j I.ingle stated that if some of the boy's'

■ mothers really knew the "Mappergirls,"they would find out what line girls theyare and find that their opinions were' perhaps erroneous concerning the so-called flapper.

In closing. Mrs. I.ingle left the thoughtwith her audience that a mother's chil-

;|dren always stand uppermost in her, mind, that when they are far from home,she is continually thinking of them, anx-.nous for their safety and eager to heargood news from them. It was suggestedthat the boys tell their mothers of thegood times they have, because they en-joy them as much as their sons.

A. N. Moffett led the meeting and in-Itroduccd Mrs. Lingle. Piggy Martin's|quartet sang My Mother's Prayers HaveFolttnvcd Me during the first of themeeting.

place. I've been thinking I'd get to tell youthe news fcr the last two months, but itsworse'n a yaller jacket tight in road workin'time, an' you don't git no further than adug chasin' his tail.

Why just this very mornin'I here'd thelast tap of that hell they ring for breakfast,an' Ijumped plum off the top-decker an'landed right in my breeches whut I allearshang on a chair all set so Ican hit 'cm firstthing, an' just as I jumped the second timeIhit one shoe an' missed the othefn, then 1remembered I'd flung it out the winder atone of them "Smart Klick" guys whuts for-ever pokin' planks in the winder about thetime Igo to sleep tryin' to ligger out whutthem Greeks meant by all them funny marks

'they used to make, letters some call 'em.bulI don't believe them fellers knoweil muchcause I can't make out a single thing thatlooks like sense to me.

Well Igot that shoe and pulled it on as 1hopped down tore'd whiir 1 git my meals,cause Iknowed 1 had to git thar early or allthe egg's he gone, turned out Isnatched half0 one as a FrHtiktin hoy raked out the las'two of 'em. Then Ispilt nearly all mycoffee down the front o' my coat an' thar Iwuz hungry as a old sow an' no time to doa thing "cept grab a piece of bread as 1made a dive for the dix>r, causeIhere'd thatbell ringiu' again and I run all the way tothe campus.

Well. Jim, I gotta begin gittin' ready fcrwhat they call exams, they allers maketake one 'fore you can say you aint a Freshor some such, they put you off in a room an'tell you to write a book about whut you'vestudied for the last four months, an' youOUghtcr see some of these here teachers cut-up over the stuff they read to US, they saysits, real good hut sounds to me like foolish-ness. Hut 1 aint got time to tell you hardlyu bit more cause when these here exams comeon these boys git to goin' so fast aroundhere that it makes yer head swim, an' 1 aintnever got used to "shootin' the profs" as theboys call it, Iaint forgot that time Ihere'dthe Brown boy, the one we used to callVickie, say, "Hoys that prof shore shot mecold!" And he said it so pained like that 1got so mad Imost cussed an' started to cutdown on one o' the. teachers when a fellersaid, "You fool, he just asked Vickie aquestion he couldn't answer, he aint hurt."1 thought he wuz shore enough shot, an' Jim,that Brown boy must be makin' good causehe allers looks smart and peart as AuntFan's youngun did when he got that spcakin'meddle, they tell me the gals like him too,and he nearly always sells tickets to theseIactin' club shows we have up here.

groups, in conferences and in athletics, Theathletic side of the program is complete illevery detail, carrying with it such sports asbaseball, tennis, basketball, swimming, bout-ing andhiking, The morning is always open-ed with a cold plunge in the lake, or a short,vigorous hike to some nearby mountain peak.

Iafter which come the other duties of the day.:The list of speakers and directors will carry' such names as Dr. A. M. Trawiek.of Wof-j ford College; Mr. Sherwood Eddy, Dr. \V.D. Weatherford. Mr. Kirby Page, and otheroutstanding characters in college and Y. M.

IC. A. work.Students from 10 states, representing over

150 colleges, and numbering some 500 men.were in attendance at the last Blue RidgeConference. And the conference of thisyear promises to be even larger and better,Three colleges in three different states prom

I isc quotas of at least 50, and.others are! coming in oidy a slightly less force. Da-

vidsonmen realize the value of these days atBlue Ridge, and the number of her delegates

Iis swelling daily. Hut the goal of Davidson,is tohave the largest delegation present thisyear. To do this, every man must seriouslyconsider his ability and possibility of at-tendance there. Expenses,exclusive of rail-'road fare will be: Program fee, $7.00;

jplus board, room, etc., for 10 days, $25.00;totalling $32.00. Hut this expense can not

jand must never be interpreted in terms of jwhat the return from it will be. That is in-1calculable. The opportunity being offered,an able man declining it does so at an in-finite loss to himself.

The lure of the entire conference is irrc-sistable. With its sports, its lectures, itsassociations, its friends, its wonderful sur-roundings arc its own advertisements. So-licitation is never practiced, only opportunityis offered. And so great is its lure, its at-traction and its benefits, that June 17 willfind almost a thousand boys sporting andliving together in this haven of pleasure anddelight for the Southern Y. M. C. A. man.Davidson menarc going, and he who delayshis decision is going to be left off the bandwagon when it pulls out. The concensus ofopinion among alt Davidson boys who have

jattended these conferences is that they areof immeasurable value.

Captain Ellis Ends FourYearsServiceatDavidsonPerforms Efficient Service With

Unit and as Track Coach

WIrmi ibis year conies in ;i elo~c itwill murk thr end of service here for aiii.iii who lias been, during liis stay atDavidson, a true Davidson man. Capt.M. II. Kllis came to Davidson mi Jan-uary 21, toji. liofore cotniug here he

1 had seen service on the Mexican border' with iluicavalry.Previous in going into the army Cap-'

i tain Kllis was a student at Allegheny.College, I'rtiu. Upon graduating there

I in H)I7 he joined the army and was cum-i missioned a second lictttctiaiil mi August" i', IQI7. Mr was sent In the Mexicanp border where liis entire time was spent,. prior to his transfer here. His service" there was of the highest, ami lor proof1:of this one need only note his rapid pro-1, mot ion. .

When the time eanie for him to leave1 j his post <m the border the eoinpany ofI which lie was a member presented him1 with a gold watch in token of the love1 anil esteem which they felt for him. As. head of the Sophomore department four"

1 years anil as assistant in the Senior dc-'partment for two, he has carried on this

'reputation, Captain Kllis' efficiency dc-■ serves double praise, for he came here" us a cavalry officer ami has creditablyj performed the duties of the infantry.

For the past two years he has been.j track coach, giving of his time that

Davidson's athletic name might he ad-vanced, lie has been a constant advocate.

. of clean athletics and to him goes thecredit for the development of such track

I stars as Davidson claims.i While here Captain Kllis has been

loyal to both school and government andhas been a marked credit to both. Hehas in every way entered into the truespirit of Davidson's customs and tradi-tions and he may leave, knowing thatlie has the heartiest good wishes of theentire student body as he takes up hisnew duties at the Cavalry School, TortKilcy, Kansas, after spending three wellearned mouths of rest at his home inMeadville, Pcnn.

Approximately 175 NewMen Already Registered

EntireFreshmen Class Roll Will beCompletedBefore June

During no perkxl in Davidson's historyhave applications for entrance been sonumerous as they have been this year. ByMay 5, Mr. Hengevcld's books recorded 157already signed up and with fees paid. Inthe following week about 25 more applica-tions and fees came in. making a total of ap-proximately 175.

If the registration of incoming Freshmencontinues at this rate, all possible places willbe rilled by commencement. The 225 that thefaculty set as a maximum is going to provemuch too small to take care of all appli-cations.

If these first 225 register before the sum-mer begins there will be no further oppor-tunity for admittance except by the with-dra«ai at some name on the list.

With such a demand for entrance David-son should get a better prepared incomingFreshman class. This is hoped for both bythe faculty and by the student body.

Blue Ridge OffersMany Attractions

To Its Visitors^Situated in the picturesque mountains uf

Western North Carolina, within sight andhiking distance of some of the world's mostfamous scenery, the Blue Ridge Associationgrounds offer an ideal location for the annualSouthern Students' Conference of the Y. M.C. A. The rough, rugged mountains, thebeautiful valleys, the glorious sunsets, thedeep solitudes of the towering forests, theclear streams of icy water and misty falls,all combine tomake this an ideal environmentfor a gathering of hundreds of young people,from three-score Southern colleges, studentsseeking God in the great out-of-doors.

Every day hikes and mountain climbs areorganized; parties set out to reach the sum-mit of Mount Mitchell, the highest i>eak eastof the I^ockics; others to Klingtnan's Dome,nearly ashigh; Chimney Rock, a great freakof nature rises within the vicinity. Oftenparties go out just as dusk is falling, climbsome peak, build a camp lire and after sev-eral hours of talk, wrap up in blankets foranight beneath the skies, rising in the morn-ing for a sight of the sun emerging frombehind the distant hills. Added to thesegrandeurs is the variety and tpye of the flora— a challenge to every lover of nature.

Notwithstanding this wonderful array ofnaturally attractive recreational advantages,the conference has secured the services of acoach from one of the Southern colleges toplan and direct all athletic contests anil to in-sure the best use of every one's time along|this line. Tournaments are held in tenin.. !basketball and baseball. A swimming meetis'held, along with a wrestling meet and atrack meet. All contests are intercollegiateand the teams are made up to represent thecolleges from which the students come. De-spite the small delegation from Davidsonlast year, the Red and Black teams showedup well, with the tennis team reaching thesemi-finals and Norman Patterson winningout in the middle-weight wrestlingand almostthrowing the veteran Poindexter in theheavier class. The entire afternoon, from2:30 till supper, is given over to athletics,but often the tennis courts and swimmingpool is alive with young people when thesun is scarcely up.

"The.popularity of the after-supper hall-hour sohg-fest last year assures its having apermanent place on the program again thisyear." At this time all the students gatherfor a "College Sing" and the whole place isenlivened with college songs from all overthe South.

Dramatics arc very popular and the girlsfrom the Southern colleges usually put onsome play, while the boys entertain with ablack-face minstrel.

If one should go to Blue Ridge for fun,and pleasure,and athletics, he would get allhe wants, but there are many other advant-ages of great importance in the spiritual de-velopment as well as in the physicaldevelopment.

Miss Elizabeth Grey, who at present isin training for a nurse,at Johns HopkinsHospital of New York, will spend a fewdays with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. W.R. Grey. Miss Grey expects to graduatein the near future.

Dr. F. P. Price, father of Harry Price,will be in Davidson the first of nextweek. Dr. Price is one of the leadingmissionaries of the Southern Presbyte-ria Church in China.

Carolina Netmen AppearOn Courts Here SaturdayMay Decide Superiority of Two

Teams—

Even So Far

On Saturday Davidson again tackles Caro-!Una. This time the contest will he in tennisand Davidson's chances are more than equalin the matches which are to come.

The Wildcat has demonstrated its abilityagainst Carolina, playing her to a tie on

\ Carolina courts on May 5. To win, David'son must fight, for on Carolina's team isSolomon, who was runner-up in the state

'finals, along with Smith. Fuller and Whit-'aker, all of whom are real tennis players, jTo oppose these men Davidson presents three t!men who have taken Carolina's measure injthe singles and on the home court she shouldjhe able to win one of the doubles, therebysending Carolina back in defeat.

Price and Staley, in their doubles with theWinston-Salem pair, went down in defeatafter playing brilliant tennis, winning 19games and losing 21. If they can continuethis good work on Saturday the chances are:that Carolina will lose at least one of thedoubles matches.

This is to be the last chance at Carolinathis year and it is up to the student body ioback the team.

Literary SocietiesPhilanthropic

Due to the heavy rain storm,, veryfew members attended the meeting. Aiverybrief meetingwasheldin Dr.Lingle's!classroom. Since there was no businessto be brought up and there were toofew members present to follow the regu-lar program, the society adjourned in avery short time.

PandeinicThe query for debate at the last regu-

lar meetingof the Pandeinic Literary So-ciety was. Resolved: That the Slate ofNorth Carolina should abolish the deathpenalty. L. L. Deck and E, K. Resellargued the affirmative to two to one de-cision over L. L. Beall and F. E. Hud-igins, who composed the negative team.iThe discussion was lively which indi-cates that the speakers had made someexcellent preparation beforehand.

After the main debate the question ofawarding an essay medal was broughtup. It was decided that if at least tenmen turned in essays that that would beia sufficient number to justify the pre-senting of a medal.

MetrophilianAfter the devotional exercises had been

conducted by A. C. Ray, the society con-jsidered the popular question "ThatiNorth Carolina should abolish capitalpunishment." The question brought!forth much spirited discussion on bothsides, interest being so great that timehad to be called before several couldtalk on it. The hall voted against thebill. With no other business that couldbe undertaken, the society adjourned.
