THE RED AND BUCK. VOL. 2. UNIVERSITY OF GEOROIA, ATHENS, (JA., MARCH 2, mb. NO. 21 FAREWELL ISSUE. The Editorial, “ Our Friends,” was crowded out from last week's issue. It does not apply to articles in the State press this week. We of course feel grateful for the man uor in which the pteas Jkave..*u-4UHtlj come to our rescue. THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE. " We are in receipt of a copy of Km> anii Slack, a neat little 4-page paper published by the students of the Athens University. Ex cept for a very decided disisisilion to abuse the editor of the Eagle, the Rkd and Black is unite a readable paper, and shows that I playing football and painting goats an* not the only accomplishments of wldeli the stu- j dents may proudly boast. We guess that Kk» and Hi.ack are symbolic of tile hues whieh those festive goats had as stinted when they emerged from under tne ar tistic hands of the editors and managers of the paper. And. furthermore, we are not rep- j rohensihle in conjecturing that the paper is the nlticial organ of the numerous literary so ciety know u as the tioatpaiiiters. You may talk of your FhlChis, your Fhi Mils, and your Epsilon Yamacraws. but for mstlieticisip and intellectuality and good solid work all the year round, give us the (ioulpainters every time, There are two long nr.lcles in this organ of the tioatpaiiiters devoted to the Eagle, and all the good tliiligs they say of us eouid lie squeezed into a niustar 1 see I. i >uc of the ar ticles is an editorial ami tlie other is a con tribution from a student of the somewhat sumptions name of Edwin Calsill Kyals.

This time it has turtle.) its attention to tlie '' goat-paiuiein," organization existing only in the fertile I had start ed to say brain—in the fertile Imagine tion of its editor, and to my unworthy self. In the article it advises me "to hammer away on its, let the L. c. I. goats alone, and be a good boy.” Each of these excellent pieces of advice I shall religiously aud vigorously follow out. The “Eagle" is kind enough to say, that the “Bid aid Black is quite a readable paper, and shows that playing football and painting goats are not the only accomplishments of which tlie stu dents may proudly boast.” A careful perusal of tlie columns of the “ Eagle" fully convinces me that a course of I “higher education" would perhaps do the editor some material good, and so broaden his mind and enlarge his vision that lie could see other things in the University, of which the students may proudly and fearlessly boast. , It is neither my desire nor intention to i engage in a newspaper controversy with the " Eagle" or its editor, nor is there anything about which a controversy could be carried on. The charges which have been made against the University by the “Eagle" and others of its ilk, have been proved to be baseless and ma licious fabrications. That matter has been fully and completely discussed. •• LbupUeasat in peso," - ' In regard to the allusions to myself, which appear in the article, I have noth ing to say.

The Ilrst of these groat sta ges, as every student knows, is the stage of a Fresh man. During this stage the hard dull wits are being softened, pol- ialiiBg and refinement begin their work, and knowledge begins to fill up the | empty receptacles of the brain. Through this stage, however much detested, all must pass sooner or later, if they would attain to that higher realm of the selj- coneeited Sophomore. After a period of twelve months in this first stage, when refinement lias failed to make the intended Impression and knowledge lias fallen far short of its aim, they lmth willingly and cheerfully surrender the student to the second stage, the stage of the egotistical Sophomore. In this sou oml stage the “Fresh” element remains the same, hut time lias done its work, ami file student of the second year Is all wise in his own estimation, but wofully deficient in the eyes of Intellectual judges. Often, however, vanity and conceit alone distinguish the student of ^ Ills class from the immediately p^-eding ” fl frequently "Imppens that Hip proprlato title of "Soph-fresh” in given tuiituili'nt, meaning, that in point of time alone he isaSuph, whereas from an intellectual atnnilpolnt he la atill in the humble stage of a Freahman.
