A IM.KA TO “VARSITY" MEN.
I'ruliulily nothing else lin* worked
to. the detriment of the University
so mifeh its the had reports w hich
have gone abroad cc nccriinig the
morals of the “ ’Varsity’' hoys.
These reports, while mainly untrue,
have some foundation. It is to the
interest of every student of the
Vuivcssily to help disprove these
reports, ami in no other way can
they he disproved so well as by
raising the morals of the University
If every student will conduct him
self as becomes a gentleman these
reports will cease to be circulated.
In some sections of our Stale the
l Diversity in characterized as an
immoral college and the students as
unfit to associate with gentlemen
• ml Christian*. Now as to the foun
dation mr these stories. There are,
in every bedy of men or boys, some
who are not exactly what they ought
to ho morally. It is impossible to
get 80 or 1IHI hoys together without
getting some who persist in lowing
“ wild oats." la it right, then, to
condemn the University, with her
250 student*, because a few of her
students will not act as they ought?
Some of the Church colleges of
our State persist in attacking the
University on the ground* above
mentioned. We claim that this is
unfair. The student* a* a body do
not encourage but rather condemn
verything immoral and the Faoul-
tile University of Georgia are as
good as those of tier sister institu
tion*.
Now in regard to our honor sys
tem in the examination room. The
idea of trusting to the honor of stu
dents is almost entirely Southern.
Until iceently no Northern college
trusted to the honor of students in
examination*. Last year the Fac
nlty decided to leave to the stu
dents all dealings with dishenesty
in examinations. A University
court was organized to try such
cases, and last year was ready to
try any ease that might come be
fore them. This year, however,only
one class has appointed its repre
sentative* to this court, and a* a re
sult the court has not been organ
ized. If we expect the Faculty to
trust this matter to us any longer
we should take steps to organize
the court.
Wo trust and believe that every
“’Varsity" mail desires to seethe
old college stand above every other
institution of learning in the South.
The University has friends who are
willing to work for her interests in
the legislative halls, and her ad
vancement depends on the students.
If they will net so as to give the j
University the reputation of being ,
a college where only upright, hon
orable gentlemen are being edilea- j
ted, her prosperity is ssmiled. Let
every student endeavor to put the
University at the top and it wont
be long before she will he there.
It has been suggested that a prize
say of ♦15.0 ' he offered to the man
on the 'Varsity 15. 15. team who
takes the highest stand In his class.
Ye editors think that a prize could
not be devoted to a more worthy
object.
Gen. Bethune, a gallant Southern
officer is lying at the point of death
in Washington. The General own
ed Blind Tom as a slave and ha*
been his manager since the war.
The General graduated here in |H£i.
There are only two older college
graduates than he in the United
State*.
Field day will he about the first
of May this year. About three
months are left for training and in
the favorable climate here it is by
no means too early to begin. Let
| every man train for some event, and
do his pari toward making field
day ’R5 a record breaker. We have
excellent material and with work
can make Georgia Records the equal
of those of any college.
Then* is probably no college in
the South whose student body is

more uniformly quiet, studious ami
gentlemanly than that of our Uni
versity; there certainly is no col
lege whose student body is more
maligned and misrepresented.
People who read ill the Atlanta,
Augusta, Macon and Savannah pa
pers that “feeling runs high” over
students having painted the Lucy
Cobh goats, imagine that our two
hundred and fifty students, armed
with guttling guns and winchester*,
have lassoed somebody's herd of
goats and painted them red. as we I
a* the town. Or, when oclcbrating
a football victory a dry goods box
is rolled onto the campus, this as
tonishing event, thanks to the press,
is discussed in every city and town
of Georgia, amid soliloquies on the
depravity of University students.
The riotous days of University
life after the war, when all the
roughness of the camp was brought
into the Yahoo, when the lamps
shone down and draw, and jack
pot, ami cool corn stained the leaves
of Horace—those days, now things
of the far past, are still harped on
by the University's enemies, still
associated with the studeiil-hody of
to-day. Every little morsel of news
which breaks the even tenor of col
lege life, is flavored and spiced and
added to, and then dished out by
the press to gratify the palates of
our enemies.
We earnestly ask that any insig
nificant altercation or harmless
racket, if it must be published, at
least he published truthfully; and
that there be published now and
then a few of the many incidents
which go toward making the Uni
versity on* of the most quiet insti
tutions of learning in the South.
