U. of G. vs. Sewanee.
On next Monday afternoon our
team will play their first game this
season. They will play one of the
strongest teams in the South,and for
that reason the game will be in the
highest degree interesting.
Our team, although somewhat
light, has during the last few days
vastly improved in its team work
and interference, and every ’Varsity
man may feel assured that in the
game next Monday we will have
representativee who will do their
utmost to maintain the athletic
prestige of our college. If we are
beaten, aa may possibly happen, it
will be no reason for us to lose con
fidence in our team, aud if we are
victorious, the fact of our having
met and conquered an adversary in
tvery way worthy of our steel, will
give us all the greater reason for
exultation.
The mem' era of our team have
been training hard and steadily ever
since college opened. They have
given their time and energy to the
work, and they should receive every
encouragement and support from
the student body.
Let every man in the ’Varsity
come out next Monday, and help
along the good work. If you can’t
play, you can yell, and nothing en
courages a team more. Join the
Lung Brigade, and whether onr
team is winning or losing, let us
hear the voice of every man in col
lege ring out in lusty encourage
ment of our team.
"The College Student’s Duty.”
This is a subject, gentle reader,
which is too deep for the present
writer—one whioh should be treat
ed by men far abler than I, but if
the worthy editor of the oollege pa
per will allow me the space in its
columns, I desire to express my
humble opinions about “The Col
lege Student’s Duty.”
Before I begin, I will say that
this may seem old to you. Mo doubt
you have heard it so many times,
that you may toss it away without
giving it a thought. But what I
am about to say are facts. It be
hooves every thoughtful man to
give truth his earnest consideration
regardless of its ago. This, how
ever, is not an apology for the
thought qontained in this article.
It ia a warning to lb* uiithoughtful
man.
Many students teem not to realize
the important part whioh college
life and training are destined to
play in their future lives. The pow.
erful influences—either good or bad
— which three or four years of col
lege life inevitably stamps upon the
character of the student, and which
will very probably remain with him
throughout his entire life, should
be objects of profound and aincere
consideration to every young man
entering the college halls of learn
ing. It is here that he is shaping
the destiuy of his future life—cither
paving his pathway to glorious suo-
cess or turning hia footsteps toward
failure and obscurity. Do your duty
to yourself : apply yourself to the
best advantage ; always strive to
do the best you can; avoid all temp
tations, for the syrens arc secreted
all along the pathway of college
life to allure you to destruction ;
but, my fsilow-student, turn a deaf
ear to the inviting tempters, and al
ways utter and act out your “ No 1"
maniully and resolutely ; never
waste your time supping tbs cup of
folly, or you will drink to its bitter
dregs in your future life—do these
end success in your life is assured.
You sre dow equipping your bsrk
to make your future voysg* in the
sea of active life. If you equip it
well, you will be enabled to ride
the rugged wave* of adversity with
less danger ; and seemingly uncon
querable objects will be easily tub-
Ldued by you. On the other hand, if
you wilfully neglect to prepare
for the inevitable voyage, your bark
will soon lie a pitiful wreck on the
jagged rocks of adversity which are
so numerous in the sea of active life.
I.et it never be your opportunity,
when you are well-strickeu in years
to regret the way in whioh yon
spent your college days. But if you
do not do your duty, thia will inev
itably be the case. Let every one
do the beet he can. It is all that
cau be aaked, for angels oan do no
more.
Three different motives have
prompted me to express my views
on this most important snbjeot—i.
e., let the oollege man do his duty
in the highest and truest sense of
the word, to his oolloge, to himself,
and shove all to his paronts. Of
course one oannot be accomplished
n its entirety without involving the
othor two. But the sum of the three
should make any man upon serious
reflection decide for the better and
strive to do his best.
The student’s duty to his oollege
involves mostly hi* behavior or the
way he conducts himself. He
shou(d never bo guilty of anything
which would reflect any discredit
whatever upon his Alma Mater,
lias lie not a great intercat in his
oollege? Would it not give him
the highest pleasure to see hi* col
lege thrive and prosper? This du
ty may seem very vague and indefi
nite to some men, but if they will
reflect upon it just s little, I am
willing to submit to their dooision.
Ths student's duty to himself
neod not he stressed any more as I
have brought it out as plainly as I
knew how in the body of myartiole.
But, my fellow students, your high
est duty as a college student is to
your parents. They remain at homo
with the loftiest desires and tender-
eat loves for their sons at oollege.
Above all, do not disappoint your
parents. Strive to make s success
out of everything you undertake—if
not for yourself, do the best you can
for your parents. Do not let the
trainings which you have received
around your mother’s knee be all in
vain. Your suocets in life is your
mother’s success. She has the sat
isfaction that she has raised a son
who has been led to succesa by her
early teaching* and training*.
But I fear I tire you—I therefore
dose—my last entreaty being let
every college man do bis duty to
hi* college, to himself, and above
all to hia parents. H.
