Saturday night the Freshies “got
right,” and had the first bonfire of
the year. It was the first demon
stration of genuine spirit on the
part of the class. Everyone entered
cheerfully into the work and in a
short time enough old barrels, dry
goods boxes and general debris had
been collected to start the conflagra
tion.
The Freshmen are to be congratu
lated on getting together at last and
doing something to let us know we
have a first year class. It is hoped^
that their spirit will wax more fer
vent as the future games take place.
Anyway, they have taken one step
in the right direction. If they get
together and keep it up we will yet
have cause to remember in days to
come tfie number “17.”

Georgia Boy Making Wonderful Re

The law department of Columbia
offers only one prize to first, year
men. The prize is $300, given to
the one standing the best examina
tion in Real Property. Mr. G. B.
Goldin, a member of last year’s class
of the University of Georgia, won .the
“real property” prize last year. The
fact that every new or first year
man competes for this prize makes
it all the more worthy to get. Mr.
Goldin made the Columbia Law Re
view, which is indeed a high honor,
especially when a place is made on
this board during one’s first year at
Columbia.
The Y. M. C. A. has recently
bought a piano and placed it in their
rooms underneath the library. The
Y. M. C. A. is doing splendid work
this year under the leadership of Mr.
