Shirley Brooks. 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.
