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 E. W.

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.
