COLLEGE ENDOWMENTS AT
THE SOUTH.
Sometime ago there was a great
awakening in the South and espe
cially Georgia on tliis subject. Such
an awakening now would he well-
timed and is needful.
lienetieenee, in itself, is noble,
ami nobility has no higher standard
than philanthropy.
Men may “make their money
talk ” in business, in politics, in socle
ty, hut lie who spends his gains in
the erection of that strongest bttl-
w ark of liberty, education, is the
true p.jsriot. Our determined, ener-
geetic men are untiring in exertion.
Listen to them and hear the echo
of Holy Writ: “ It is more blessed
to give than to receive.”
The rich men of the South seem
is great, hut education is much
rounder and greater. The world
cannot swerve from its divinely al
lotted path, education knows no
hounds hut univerality. What a
great thing, indeed, is education !
All God’s great agents were educa
ted men. Mimes was skilled in all
the learning of the Egyptians; Solo
mon was tho wisest of men; and
Jesus puzzled the famed doctors.
IA*t the rich man give his check
and the poor man give his penny,
and the South shall yet regain her
position as the most enlightened
section of the two Americas.
OUR COLLEGE GYM.
Co extensive with the growth of
interest in outdoor games and ath
letics, generally among our students
should go the interest in establish
ing a better gymuarium than the
one now.serving us. That it is in
complete and inadequate none will
deny, and it sho4ild he a matter of
interest to every student of the Uni
versity to do something towards fit
ting up a gymnasium that will do
credit to ► ich an institution with
the broadening of college work a
well filled up gymnasium is no long
er a thing to lie desired, hut is an ab

AT EMORY.
It is interesting indeed to watch
the course of affairs at Emory. Dr.
Candler recently published an arti
cle strongly condemning the prac
tice of playing inter-collegiate hall
games. Now the students at Ox
ford undertook in a debate to solve
the problem whether their Presi
dent was on the right side. They
have decided that it is entirely the
correct thing for colleges to play j
ball to their hearts’ content.
We are glad to see this improve
ment in the sentiment of our Emory ;
friends and congratulate them on j
their sound judgment.

too busy investing their shekels in
so-called “industries." The youth
of the South are taught that the
dollar is greater than the diploma,
that Pluto is more to he revered than
Pallas. Which most attracts the
stranger, turning wheels and whirl,
ing spindles or a cultured
enlightened citizenry? Whose
monument would you prefer, Jay
Gould's costly vault w ith its eleotri

had lived, the toll of greed, the oth

had helped his f.'How-men. The
gift of ♦750,000 to the negro college
of Atlanta should shame Southern
men into generosity.
Why could not a hundred men
divide a similar amount among the
University, Mercer, Emory, three
white institutions?
Rich men of the South, these les
sons are for you to study. Quit
your contemptible aping of your
Northern brothers in mere social
trivisllies and ape them a little in
the matter of giving. The cost of
one of your swell receptions would
send some poor deserving teiiow to
college a whole term.

Christmas will begin to hedivil the
college man’s blood and cause edi
fying visions to overshadow the
pages of Ethics. What these visions
may ho it does not require a Daniel
come to judgment to say. There
arc visions of lordly turkics, perspir
ing gravey, apoplectic pies, in whose
sumptuous bowels nightmare lurk-
eth, magnanimous pigs, sacrifices
to the spirit of good cheer, and
broad girthed apples, rosy as the
cheeks of Christmas. Then there
are visions which cause the college
hoy to turn red and pale and hug
himself with rapture - visions of a
manly form radiant with resplen
dent necktie and billowy shirt
front, bending low and cavalierly
to kiss the fingers of the girl he left
behind. Visions, loo, of glorious
excursions behind blooded horses,
with the savage wind of the morn
ing at one’s lips, and all that.
Then, we think, how around the
tire at night, rosy with good cheer,
and flanked about by the home-folks,
we shall gently swell in importance
and dilate on themes of church and
state in terms not unlike those our
honorable chancellor is wont to
employ. "Tis very sad that great
men should plagiarize from the
, youth of our laud.
