The University German
Club
On last Saturday in the Kap
pa Alpha Club rooms, there was
I organized a German (dull,which
| will take the place of the old
I Cotillion Committee. This com
mittee was found inadequate in
many respects, and the new or
ganization will he an improve
ment over the former method
of conducting dances.
Nearly every college of anv
'i/e has a Herman Club. These
have proved very satisfactory,
and there is no reason why such
Jan organization should not
J thrive here. The membership
is limited to thirty-live—there
being thirty-one in the eluh at
present. The officers are ;

Senior Class Dins.
The Seniors have received
their class pins, which were or
dered shortly before the Christ
mas holidays. The pins are
quite attractive, and will form
a beautiful souvenir of class as
sociation and college life. The
design is a hollow circle, enamel
ed in the college colors, and di
vided into quadrants bv a quill
and torch, crossing at the center.
In these quadrants are the let
ters “U. ok G. 1900.” in gold.
The present Seniorclass is the
first to adopt class pins, and the
idea is due to Mr F P. Calhoun.
It is to lie hoped that the ex
ample of the Seniors will lie fol
lowed by future classes and the
custom made a permanent one,

ORATORY
roes of ’61-05 are passing away.
The exercises were opened by
prayer by Dr. J W. Ileidt, after
which Chancellor Hill, in a few
well chosen words, reminded the
audience of the significance of
the day and its celebration.
Mr. Doyle Campbell, the first
speaker on the program, was
prevented by sickness from en
tering the contest, and Chancel
lor Hill introduced Mr. F. c.
Jackson, of Athens, as the first
orator of the occasion. Mr.
Jackson’s speech was a noble
tribute to the devoted wives and
mothers of the dark days of the
! civil war—“The Women of the
South." Ho is a very graceful
speaker, and sum won the favor
of tin- audience.
Mr. John IL Gordon Jones, of
\\ hiteshurg, (la., followed Mr.
Jackson in an equally glowing
encomium on tin 1 Southern sol
dier, “The (’avilier of ’ti I.’’ Mr.
Jones' voice was very good, and
he held the close attention of all
to the end.
At the close of Mr. Jones'
speech, the audience joined in
singing the first two stanzas of
America, fittingly betokening
that tin* land once divided by
the coullict of war is now united
in one common cause and pur
pose.
Mr. G. W. Legwin, of Craw-
fordville, (la., was tin* third
speaker, and used as his sub
ject, “ Tito IIcroism of the
Confederate Army.” Mr. Le
gwin exhibited a calmness and
deliberation in delivery that
spoke well for one of his age,
and shows that lie has in him
the making of an orator.
Following Mr. I.egwin, Mr.
I I’. Mott handled in a master
ly manner “The Lost Cause—
Its Defenders. ” ||is voice was
very strong and filled tie- whole
of the chapel. His delivery was
very g I, although lie spoke a
little rapidly.
The last orator on the pro
gramme was Mr. Edgar Oliver,
of Kisseme, Kill., and his sub
ject, “The South of To-day.”
Mr. Oliver is a member of the
Sophomore class, having enter
ed the University in last Sep
tember, and bis efibrt on yester
day shows that lie may develop
into a speaker above the ordi
nary.
During the singing of the last
two stanzas of America, the
three judges, Dr. Ileidt, Dr.
Walden, and Rabbi Riibenstein,
retired to make up their de
cision. Dr. Walden in a short
talk delivered the verdict of the
Committee, and declared Mr.
Mott the winner.
