THE RED AND BLACK.
Mr. K. Murphey, '9.% has returned
to college from hi* home in Augusta,
where ho ha* been ill for several
dljri.
Why ia it lliat the committee ap
pointed tiy the different classes don't
hold their meeting and elect the
Varsity baseball captain. It is am
ply warm to practice. At the Uni
versity of Virginia, they have been
practicing for at lean a month.
On yesterday I observed over fifty
boys in the V. M. C. A. gymnasium.
It looks as if the preparations for j
Field Day are enough to warrant ■
for it greater success even than it
had last year.

On Thursday, the day was devo
ted hy three classes to final exami
nations. It devolved upon Prof.
McPherson to demonstrate clearly
that there were facts in History un
known even to a Freshman and in
addition to convince the Seniors
that they did not know more politi
cal economy than Prof. Walker; to
see if the Seniors h id more definite
ideas on economic subjects than Dr.
Kly. Prof. Utley bad the more con
genial task of investigating how far
the Juniors were impressed with the
greatness of English authors. As
yet we have not learned the success
attending his observations.
In spite of the earnest efforts, the
tennis played in college as y» i here
has been no University Tcnni t’lub
organized. All the I'rali rintics
have courts, but there is no court in
college on which a tennis lonrna
nielli could he In-Id. It is for this
reason that a University club should
be organized. Then we could h ive
a grand court and there is so much
talent in college that we could easi
ly have a club that would compare
favorably with the clubs of any
Southern college. Let us unite to
gether and organize the club at
once, and during tin 1 spring months
we could have at least an inter-col- j
lege tournament that would excite
great interests as there are so many
lovers of tennis in college.
The contest for anniversarian’s
place in the Dcmnsthciii.au Society
was held on last Saturday. Profs.
McPherson Morris and Uev. Black
constituted the committee of judges.
Eloquent speeches » ere delivered by
Messrs. Alexander, Bennett, t’irson.
Guyton, Haskell, McGregor and Vow.
The honor of representing the So
ciety on the 19th inst., was awarded
to Mr. Alexander, who well de
served it; as his speech was full of
thought, the phraseology beautiful
and the delivery most excellent.
The speeches of the other gentlemen
did credit to them, and while they
were defeated in the contest, they
really suffer no loss; for every one
will be amply intellectually repaid
for all the time s|>ent in research of
information and in composing his
(as every oue was) creditable ora
tion.
