MAJOR KlMitROUGH
The strong character, tearless in
pursuit of its convictions, powerful in
its influence over others, and above
all, resistless in its stand for right and
truth, commands the respect even of
enemies, and an admiration that
must be universal.
Hut such a character may in its
very awsterit) freeze our emotions
into a cold regard, having in it no
element of personal love or affection
to answer the call of one heart to
another.
On the other hand, combine with
this moral strength a tenderness of
spirit which can inspire the sympa
thetic teat at a touching tarewcll, and
you have the man we can love, after
I
we have learned to admire and to re-
I sped him.
Sentiment in the weak man is
weakness. Cut the ideal of man
hood must always be reached in him
who is strong with a manly strength,
yet withal, tender as a woman.
Major Kimbrough has been with
us long enough for his manliness to
win our respect, for his greatness of
heart to win our love. Wherever
bis duty may call him, be it in the
routine of the garrison, or the danger
I of the field, that love shall be with
him, and may it be an invocation to
' Providence for his protection while
there, and lus safe return to bis work
among us!
THE PASSING OF THE “TACK!”
A disi ussion was begun recently
between two Seniors as to the pre
valence of the cigarette habit among
the boys in college. T he one seem
ed to think that it was more wide
spread now than it was a few years
ago, while the other opposed his
opinion.
T o decide the question, one of
the class rolls was selected at ran
dom, and out of the first fifteen
names upon it, only two of the men
ever smoke at all. This may have
been an extreme case, but certain it
is that the habit is on the decline.
Cigars and the swagger pipe are
being substituted largely tor the
“tack," but smoking as a whole is
less pievalenl than ever before.
Athletics are partly responsible.
The football or track man cannot
keep in training and continue to
smoke, and men in business are
realizing more and more all the time
that training is as necessary in the
competition of business as in that
of athletics.
So it is that the sentiment against
it is growing, and even more en
couraging than the actual decrease in
the number of cigarettes smoked, is
the fact that almost every fellow you
know who smokes them admits the
wrong of it, and even if he cannot
stop the habit himself, advises strong
ly against its formation by others.

Pandora Board Meets.
The Pandora Board met Saturday
afternoon and organized for the year's
work. T he only officers elected at i
this meeting were Editors-in-chief,
I. K. MacDonald and P. W. Davis; J
Business Manager, T. E. Scott; Art
Editor, (iriffith The other officers
will be elected shortly, and the Board
will begin work to get out an annual

^ University.
New Law Library.
A recent manifestation of the love
and respect with which all her grad
uates regard the University, is that
shown in the case of the late Mr. B.
A. I fenin.irk, of Savannah, who made
the University the residuary legatee
of bis entire estate, probably amount
ing to one hundred thousand dollars.
T he whole of this valuable proper
ly will come to the University upon
the death of Mrs. Denmark, who has
| already anticipated the fulfillment of
Ins wishes by presenting to the l.aw
Department of the University the
large and valuable library which her
husband had accumulated during his
f long and successful legal career. Mr.
Denmark and his son, Thomas, who
died a short time subsequent to his
lather's death, were both graduates
of the University, and were deeply
interested in all that concerned her
welfare. The name was perpetuated
in the remembrance of Georgians by
tile action of the Board of Trustees
in naming Denmark Hall for Mr.
I >e n mark.
The gill of the library comes most
opportunely, as it enlarges and en
riches the reference resources of this
important department, which every
day becomes more and more promi-
ilient as a part of our Greater Uni
versity.
Police Court Dots.
Case I.
t in Saturday morning last a half
dozen of well known upper classman
were notified to be at the mayor's
court and when they had repaired
thither, were told that they were ac
cused of painting the “l.ucy Goats’’
a prank which is generally regarded
as wholly relegated to the Freshmen.
However, these students were lucky
enough to possess positive proof of
their whereabouts on the afternoon
in question and this is the only rea
son why they are not now “making
little rocks out of big rocks" merely
because others were mistaken (or
them.
Case II.
A prominent member of the Junior
Glass has been notified to appear be
fore the Mayor and state why he
not be put to work on the city gang.
The offense charged is that of sing
ing a popular song while passing l.ucy
Cobb Institute several evenings since.
A number of University boys are
awaiting anxiously the result of bis
trial, lor on it depends whether or no
they can safely continue their daily
promenades up Milledge Avenue.
