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 solute necessity,and with the interest 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. ueering Course.

Piescionces of 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 eal appearences, or the unpreten tious SoneV buildings of Lucy Cobh and Emory ? The one dying, as lie had lived, the toll of greed, the oth er happy in the conviction that he 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. Tho world is round and the world 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.
