OUATOBB Al. CONTEST.
Again tlirougli its columns, The Owl.
wishes to lay stress upon the lasting
good that can he derived from inter col
legiate oratorical contests. No engage
ment is so improving, not only in mental
directions, hut also in developing sleep
ing oratory.
To a great extent, oratory has been
laid aside for the achievements of the
pen, and the only way to resurrect this,
the rarest and most powerful talent of
the human soul, is to give it practical
training.
Surely all orators are not sleeping un
der the sod. There are thousands of
college boys possessing hidden oratorical
powers, w ho lack only practical training
to shake the sides of a continent with
their thundering toilet of eloquence.
What method productive of more
good, by which this most beautiful and
•mil-touching factor of mankind can he
conceived of than by pitting the orator
ical talents of two schools against each
other? The inter collegiate contest re
sults in good not only to those engaged,
but to the colleges wliieli they represent.
How much higher would our colleges
rise in the estimation of the inople, and
especially how much more widely known
would they become if only they would
Indulge in frequent oratorical contests.
Then, too, a friendship and a brotherly
feeling would he created among the col
leges by such steps.
Kku a.m» III.At k wishes to almost
plead with the lovers of oratory, and to
all interested in the welfare of the Uni
versify to take immediate steps in this
direction
For the above, we are indebted to the
“Owl.” It so fully expresses the idea
of the Rfi» am* Bi.a« k in reference to a
State oratorical contest, we commend it
to the readers of the R|:n AMI III A« K.

The article on Co-edwcation was taken
bodily from “College Topics,*’ changed
to make it more local.
It is a fact known to us all that during
i the first term as well as this, some
author. n f our hoys have thoughtlessly acted in
such a manner, to say the least of. was
not in keeping with the dignity which !
should characterize every University stu
dent. This the body of students de
plore, yet it has its effect as to the repu- j
tation our college makes. It goes out j
that such things as this are tolerated and !
approved by the students. Gentlemen
of the University, arise and assert your
selves. Let us denounce such miscon
duct in no unmistakable terms. While
a great reform is going on in all the col
leges, let us not be idle, but up and do
ing. Just how to bring this work about
none of us seem to know. Would it noj
he a good plan to begin this work in our
fraternities ? Where in college life is so
much influence thrown over a boy as in
his fraternity ? The opportunities for
moral influences offered by the chapter
are great.
Much has been said in regard to the
faculty opposing fraternities. How can
we wonder at such, when the fraterni
ties offer no assistance In forming the
morals of the students ? The college
fraternity has a glorious mission.yet we
should not mistake it.
In a great many colleges the faculty
recognize in the fraternities Indispensa-1
ble help. It should In* so at the ITniver- .
sity of Georgia. The idea has been sug- I
gested that this reform Ik* brought Ulrnut
in the fraternities, because as a rule the |
boys who do most of the devilment, he '
I it said to the honor of the non-fraternity J
men, are fraternity men.

Miss Sadie Farley, who plays the part

She is well calculated to portray the

Standing idly in the hall-way
With the stairway winding there.
Whispering softly to a maiden ;
Rending o'er her golden hair,
F
Gleaming 'ncatli the candelabra.
Blooming face so bright and fair—
lie cannot leave the maiden
With voice so soft and smile so rare.
Standing out beneath that stairway.
After midnight, (tending low.
O'er the face to him so changing.
How the blushes come and go !

But above that winding stairway
Looms a figure clothed in white
And her father whispers sternly,
“ Gwendolyn, put out that li Jit !"
And his charming duteous daughter
Does his will with smile so fair :
Then returns she to her lover.
And they still are standing there,
" itliout the light.
Is that quite right ? B.
