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 i w I a* t its have an I nUT-Kol legist* D • y by all means. t W.

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. MAI )DOX BROS. PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ENGRAVERS Special Kates to Students.
