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. I'm Kappa Hall, Deo. 2, 1MI3. 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." Affirmative leader Gibson, negatively of Shesrouse. • , Demosthrrian Society. 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.
