Chancellor Hill
Our hearts were touched afresh as we listened to tin* distingu
ished Georgians who were gathered to pay tribute to the itieinory
of our helttved am) lamented Chancellor.
As men wlio had known Chancellor Hill and had been associated
with him in life ut different times related particular phrases of his
career, we could not help hut realize what a great and noble man
had been our chancellor. It mattered not whether the speaker!
was churchman, statesman, educator or jurist, each seem to have
been impressed with Walter It Hill as an intellectual uiant oil
unblemished character and stain ess life, whose moral courage was
as strong as his heart was pure.
While each speaker dealt with the life of I he Chancellor from j
different viewpoints, we saw “Walter It. Hill, the man,” as each
tribute w as paid to his memory, grow ing more distinct and clearer—
the picture of a whole and complete man w lm had left the world
better than lie had found it and w hose strength
‘Was us the strength of ten,
Itecause his heart was pure. 1
When Chancellor Hill was with us we admired him, we loved
him, and we listened to his wise and sympathetic counsels as those
of a g re lit and good man. Hut it was only when his lips were sealed
forever in death that we stopped to think how truly great he was.
When we came hack after Christinas we found his chair vacant,
and there seemed a void on the campus w hich could never he tilled.
We sought in vain for his kind and sympathetic face, and we

—“for the touch of u vanished hand,
and the sound of u voice that is still.”

try and hold interest in track
athletics for three or four hours
in an afternoon.
The solution we offer is this:
Have two or more sets of judges,
and hold the interest of the peo
ple all the times by having two
or more events come oil at once.

just put a little more work on

a good worker, and worth using
again.
If any one has suggestions to
make and cun relieve the situa

quite a tinuncial gain to the Ath

It was then we realized how dear the chancellor was to our hearts,
and the love of the whole student body was littingly shown us we
marched with reverent tread to the cemetery last Tuesday and
made of his grave a mound of (lowers. He died without knowing
how much we loved him.
While our hearts mourn afresh, let us pray for the guidance of
the Trustees in the selection of a chancellor who is able to carry
out the plaj^a. of Mr. Hill, and when “the dream of a great clian-

DEATH OF MR. W. C. TUCK
MrrATKONlZK OUR ADVERTISERS
EXhMINATIONS
From time to time rumors have
reached us of some individual or
individuals liuviug been seen to
cheat on an examination. Now-
we beTleve that inerv is us little
cheating on the examinations of
the University us cun be found
in any other single institution.
It is a matter of pride to us that
this should lie so, and it should
lie a matter of determination
with us that this should remain
so.
Those students who will de
liberately use unfair meuiis on
an examination we belive to be
few, and far between and wher
ever one of them is found he
should lie reported to the honor
hoard ut once. Of course this
reporting business is a disagree
able thing to do hut it is certain
ly as disagreeable to have men in
the student body who contami
nate the morul atmosphere by
cheating on examinations and
signing a pledge that they did
not cheat.
Some students do not seem to
realize the significance of this
matter. They do md seem to
know that when the honor-wall
of a man's conscience is torn
down at one place the forces of
evil liegins an immediate attack
at every place. Such, however,
is the case ami when a student is
found who so far forgets his
honor as to cheat on the exam
inations the thing to do is to get
rid of him at once: we owe it to
him and to the University to do
so.
Death bus laid his hand on tlit* j
student body for the second time
this term and another comrade
is gone from our midst.
It is with sorrow we chronicle
the death of Mr. W.C. Tuck who
died at his home last night.
He was a member of the class
of 1907 and was well liked by
those who knew him, being one
of those steady honest fellows on
whom you can always count
when he is your friend. While
not very widely known, yet his
death will he u shock to all who
have been closely associated w itli
him in college.
Mr. Tuck was stricken with
1‘leurisy some few weeks ago,
and the physicians soon gave up
hope of his recovery, but his
death was not expected so early.
The sympathy of the student
body is extended to the family
in their hour of bereavement.
Tommy, it’s a shame the way
you are treating visitors. Don’t
you know it’s impolite to jump
an your company and trounce
them like you have been doing.
If you keep that up noliody will
come and play with you—But
, keep it up anyway.
So far, we are to congratulate
ourselves on tlie attitude of the
men in the dormitories whose
rooms face the baseball field.
The management has had no
I trouble this season, in this re
spect, and we hope that this ex
cellent state of affairs will con
tinue.
There seems to be a lack of
interest or some such cause for
non-support of track athletics.
The crowd at tlie Georgia-Au
burn track meet was shamefully
small, and such has been the
case for sometime.
The track meets are pulled off
terribly slow, ami if some ar ,
rrngement could he made where
by this could he avoided, we
have no hesitancy in saying tbut
track athletics would have bet
ter tinuncial support.
It can’t be that people object
to paying the fifty cents to see a
track meet, for such an excuse
would break down when applied
to field day exercises
As a matter of fact, the cause
is this—The meets as pulled off
1 now are exceedingly tuine and
slow. They are too long, a per-
