they had never been slaughtered
before. Taking one day’a rest
he faced Virginia when his knee

game, to go dow n in defeat be

We should all look buck on en
campment week with fondest
recollections for the good people
of Gainesville. The treatment
received by us was the kindest
and most hospitable we could
wish for. Every student was
made to feel that, the people of
Gainesville were indeed glad to
have us with them, and if any of
us did not spend a pleasant week
at Gainesville it was not the
fault of the people who were
our hosts, for no stone was left
unturned in order to make out
stay a most pleasant one.
We extend the thanks of the
student body to the hospitable
people of Gainesville.
We find it difficult to express
the sentiment of unqualified ad
miration that the students of the
University feel towards the
young ladies of Brenau. The
courtesy shown by both faculty
and students of that splendid in.
stitution have brought them very-
close to the hearts of all our
hoys. Long may Brenau flourish
and long may the University hold
it’s annual encampment with the
good people and sweet girls of
Brenau and Gainesville.
DOES THIS MEAN YOU?
The pructice of boys in the
dormities watching games from
their rooms, without puying, is
becoming so prevalent that we
must cull attention to it in hope
that only a reminder is needed
to break up this pernicious habit.
Now it is wrong because it is
getting something for nothing,
and furthermore it shows a lack
of college spirit. There is some
thing wrong with the hoy who
can so easily compromise with
