I'HE RED AND BLACK.
The College Journal.
Thu advent of the Red and lllack
aa one of the permanent institutions
of the Univcraity has been hailed
with delight by the students and
faculty. That such a paper i« a ne
cessity has been long since realized.
There is much literary talent among
the students, and the best medium
for its exercize is a paper estab
lished and conducted for that pur
pose and in the interest of the I Di
versity generally.
The newspaper of today plays an
important part in the life history of
any people, and the modern news
paper has not reached the degree of
usefulness that it is soon to reach.
Its sphere of usefulness is contiiiu
ally widening. It has become, to a
large extent the educator of the
masses, and few homes are now
found into which some good news
paper does not enter. We have not
u system of compulsory education
in our state,nor are w e likely to have
such, for it impairs tin- Democra
oy of a people, and our id. i of demo
oracy is a progressive and not a re
gressive one. Neither is our public
school system a thorough or ade
quate one. IS. we tirnl the newspa
per of today, one of tin* most potent
factors in the educational and in
dustrial development of a people.
Now the point we make is that
since the educated men of our State,
«he graduates of her Universities,
will have to maiin;'<- and edit these
journals, that there.01. they ought
to avail themselves of every oppor
tunity to become prepared for thin
duty. The college paper is the best
medium for that preparation, and
all of out students who have literary
talent should cultivate it by exer
cising it ill our college paper. Our
coiniiiiih are open to communica
tions or essays from any student of
the University, subject to the peru
sal of the editors.
The foot hall team was given a
royal reception in Augusta by Man
ager Clark of the Exposition Com
pany and Manager Sandy Cohen of
the Theatre. Some of the hoys vis
ited the grounds in the morning
and noted the attractions, the ex
hibits, and the agricultural dis
plays of the Exposition. As a
whole it far surpasses Augusta’s
former efforts to amuse and interest
the people. Large crowds are being
motived every day and the number
of visitors is improving weekly. In
the evening both teams occupied
boxes in the theatre, Augusta on
the left, the University on the
right. Our boxes wen 1 beautifully
decorated in red and black hunting,
and produced a very catchy appear
ance. Each of the actors and ac
tresses wore the colors of the Uni
versity, and were applauded gen
crously by the foot hall players.
The bill that evening was a comedy
entitled “Niobe,” and the cast was
a good one.
The foot hall management would
like, through the columns of the
Run and Bi.ack, to thank the Falk
Clothing Company, of Savannah,
for the souvenir flags, formed of col
lege colors with “U. G." in gold
letters superimposed. They were
appropriate and very convenient for
the occasion, and were displayed
with much effect in the Forest City.
Mr. Ernest. Brown will leave us
this week. His work as foot hall
coach has been efficient and produc
tive of great improvement among
the players individually and the
team work. Through his efforts
raw material has developed won
derfully and the fears of failing to
organize a team have been shat
tered. Ilis encouragement was re
markably beneficial and some have
manifested an interest in this sport
who before seemed absolutely indif
ferent towards its success. Enthu
siasm has increased continually
since we were defeated by the
“Techs,” and next summer will see
numbers of candidates training for
the team.
Mr. Brown was hurt while defend-
! ing our colors in Nashville, and also
was injured slightly in our first in
ter-collegiate game. \\ e did not
engage him to play foot ball, but to
coach the “eleven.” And in play
ing {ip was simply trying to
strengthen the team in the absence
of larger men, and at the time was
in no condition to play foot ball.
It was very generous in him and
proves the sincerity of his work.
For this we owe him a debt of grat
itude and obligation. We hope
that next year’s team will be suc
cessful in securing as good a coach.

The Society was called to order
by Mr. Fuller. The roll was called
and minutes read. The new offi
cers were then sworn in as follows:
Mr. K. O. Cochran, as President;
Mr. F. J. Orr, as 1st assistant, and
M. H. Olive as 2nd assistant.
On motion of Mr. Pittman, the
floor was extended to one of the old
members, Mr. Morris. He spoke
1 upon the subject for debate:
Resolved, “That the verdict of a
jury should be unanimous.” Mr.
Morris gave a very inseresting talk
1 on the subject, showing wherein
I the verdict should he unanimous.
He showed that the trouble was not
j with the jury, but with the slow
method of dispensing justice. The
subject w is discussed affirmatively
! by Mr. 1*. J. Shearouse and nega
tively by Mr. Morris. The presi
dent gave his decision in favor of
| affirmative. The query committee
then submitted the following ques
tion fordebete Saturday week:
Resolved, “That modern patriot
ism surpasses that of ancient times."

Promptly itfclock the
Society was t'anr^^Tii tire absence
of the president -Mr. Madden was
called to the chair.
After roll call, the regular order
of business for the day was set
aside, in ordei to hear an address
from Dr. Riley. At the special re
quest of the Society, he delivered a
most interesting and instructive
lecture on the subject, “Before an
Audience.” A letter of regret was
then read from Prof. Rutherford,
who also was to have spoken, hut
was prevented on account of sick
ness.
Next the debate was commenced
on the subject,
Resolved, “That Music is a Great
er Branch of Art Than Painting.”
The debate was long and interest
ing. Thu affirmative side was sup
ported by Messrs. Alexander, Ryals,
Brannen, Phillips, Floyd and Lar
son; the negative by Messrs. Has
kell, A. Smith, and Clark. The de
cision was rendered in favor of the
negative side.
This rather peculiar subject will
be debated today,
Resolved, “That Political Assas
sination is Under Certain Circum
stances Justifiable.”
At 1 o’clock the Society adjourned
to the Georgia railroad station to
meet the foot ball team.
Sunday Morning Biiile Class.
• Vmong the literary and social or
ganizations of the University none
should be of more general interest
to the students than the Sunday
Morning Bible Class, conducted by
the Chancellor in the reading room
of the University Y. M. C. A. The
Class meets at !>:30 o’clock every
Sunday morning, and the exercises
only last for an hour.
The meetings are very free and
informal, being only that of friends
for the discussion of Bible questions
and subjects. The subjects dis
cussed are generally those concern
ing which there is a difference of
opinion in the minds of educated
men. Dr. Boggs’ explanations are
so clear and lucid that it is very in
structive as well as interesting to
meet and have him lecture on sub
jects with which all should he con
versant.
For the past few Sundays the first
few chapters of Genesis and the de
scription of the creation as given
by Moses have been engaging the
attention and study of the Class.
All the facts leading us to accord
to Moses the authority of the Penti-
teuch and also the evidences of his
being divinely inspired have been
treated and disposed of, and also
the bearing which the researches of
modern science have on the descrip
tion of the creation and the incip-
to gain a satisfactory idea of it as
tiie fftkok of Books than by attend
ing tbase Sunday morning exercises.
So we would urge as many ns can
do so to attend these Bible Class
meetings.
The tackling of McCntchen in
Augusta was notably good. The
playing of Frick*, Brown and But
ler was exceptional. Nally ruined
his man in Savannah by disabling
him, and a new center was insti
tuted.
Smith played pluekily in
games.
both
Dave Barrow, Ed Upson, Frank
Richmond and Craig Barrow ac
companied the team to Savannah
and Augusta, and were delightfully
entertained at both places.
See?
Edith—Robert, you seem to have
“a slack of the blues.”
Robert—Did your father tell yon
that I “called” last night?
Edith—Yes; lie said you called—
“he saw you and raised you.”
Robert—Quite true, and I went
home “busted.”—Truth.
