week in May. Moat college* give this
spring holiday at thin time, and what
would be easier than for every college and
university in the South from Virginia to
Texas to send a delegation of agile and
sinewy athletes to meet and revive the
Olvpian game* of the Greeks.
This would have a better effect in
bringing the Southern colleges into clo
ser communication and intercourse than
any other sport. Iti* not the honor of a
single Southern college to hold the
world's record for any track athletic feat.
This would be the place and time to
make them. Not only would it do this
hut it would cause more interest to be
taken in athletics of every kind, instead
of having in every college a certain
class of hook-worms who see n<» enjoy
ment in feats of strength hut only revel
in the strength and activities of the
mind.
The exercise of the body increases the
activity of the mind, hut the exercise of
the mind does not increase the activity
of the body. On the contrary. It tears
it dow n and consumes its energy, which
can only lie kept up by constant exercise
and development of the muscles.
The first honor man of to day, as has
been often said, in more than two-third*
of the colleges of the Knifed States, is
an accomplished athlete Nothing will
prove more productive of this than
athletic exercise.
We hope the new officers of the Ath
letic Association will take the matter
undci serious consideration, and that
other Southern college* will see the im
portance of it and the good to be derived
from it, and begin to get their teams in

OKB I. IT FLAKY SOCIETIES.
The Knivi-rsity is blessed with two
;'•••*! mgunixali'ins for the literary train
lug of the young men who are puriuiug
their studies here. These societies—the 1
Heiuontheninn and the Pbi Kappa have
been in the past tlie pride and glory of
the college. It was ben* that Hill and
Toombs and Stephens and Gradv and
many elhei*. who have lw»»n bright ex
emplar* to the youth of Georgia, eulti-
vat« d their forensic powers, which made
them masters of thought and argument
and eloquence. One of these great men
perhaps it w as Henry Grady—s aid tliat
the training of the literary society was
one-fourth of college life. Let one he
ever so graphic in composition, or elo
quent in prepared speech, he cannot
make that impress mi the community in
which his lot is cast unless lie is a ready,
off-hand speaker. The literary society
is the place to lay the foundation for
this kind of work.
While we can speak of the Demosthe-
nian and the Phi Kappa with a feeling of
pride, for they are luitli well officered
and contain on their rolls of membership
talent of as high order as ean be found
anywhere, yet we must say that greater
I uteres t could he aroused. The same,
and perhaps better, opportunities exist
now a* when the great issues of their
ty wore discussed by the youth who
t..ranged the old campus in the ante
bellum day*. Let us then not neglect to
utilize these opportunities and build up
our societies so that their reputation
will reach the highest standard.
In all our work of this kind, we know
that we will have the sympathy and en
couragement of the Chancellor and every
member of the Faculty. The growth of
our societies must not be retarded by
our neglect or indifference.
It is a great mistake to suppose that
only those who are to be professional
men m ed this training. Fvery citizen of
this great country—let him be lawyer,
physician or farmer—ought to he ready
to do his part with tongue or pen, as
well as work or money, in all the active
affairs of lib .
Wo pull off our hat and say, “Hurrah
for the Phi Kappas and the Demosthe-
nians !”
Tin the first page is an editorial from
the Gaincs\illc Kigle. We reprint it
more to show the impression made upon
the people of the Mat and country gen
erally by the reports going out of the
( lassie City in reference to the Univer
sity. Tiik Bki> ani» Hi.ack thinks this
thing has gone too far. Let us call a
meeting of the entire college, and pass
resolutions requesting the State pr* s» to
hold up in such uncalled for attacks.
It is amusing to notice how this “Ka.
gie” mounts his lofty perch and tells the
Faculty of this University what her stu
dents need. It seems a great pity that
a gentleman of so great intellect should
lie idling away his time in a small Geor
gia hamlet.
