in college literary circles.
Jack Chaffin, of Madison, is one of
the University’s most “travelled”
men. Chaffin has undergone many
adventurous experiences in the kalei
doscopic career he has pursued, and
as a writer has set many of these
experiences down in the college pa

parts of the country. He has also
made a name for himself in debating
and has several times defended the
Agricultural College in inter-col
legiate debates with othe rcolleges
in the south.

membered by an appreciative stu

sort of person and is popular with
the students. He is looked forward
to this year on the diamond and
some miraculous performances are
confidently expected of him by every
one.
Bill Taliaferro, Savannah, is an
experienced debater and a winner of
many high honors at the University.
It might be said that he is admired
more for his conversational abili
ties as much as any others, as this
is a recognized one of his perfec
tions.
Carl Nelson, of Dublin, is best
known as an orator. He has spoken
on many important occasions about
the University and meanwhile has
captured practically every speaking
honor offered.
"Mary" Musgrove. of Homerville,

Three sessions were held each
day, and included discussions of the
naval stores industry, the responsi
bility for forestry, and the relation
of forestry to the south’s business.
Prominent men in forestry from all
over the United States, including
Col. Wm. B. Greely, Chief Forester,
U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D.
C., made addresses. An oyster roast

The club is indeed fortunate in
having Mr. Gorfain as its leader.
He not only has a splendid record in
class work, but has made several
college honors. He has distinguished |
himself as a debater and in other lit
erary activities. The members have j
every reason to believe that the new
President will make the club a great
success.
The meeting was called to order
by K. Treanor acting in the absence
of J. H. Chaffin. A motion was made
and carried to postpone the regular
program and other business in order
to get through with the election in
time for the Georgia-North Carolina
game.

The Jeffersonian Moot Court, the
organization furnishing the practical
training of the work of the Law
School, has chosen Charles L.
Padgett and Henry W. Davis as its
presidents for the two final terms of
the year, by virtue of an election on
last Saturday. Both of these men
are eminently deserving of this
honor.
Minor officers named for the third
term are as follows: T. Carlyle Dyar,
a prominent senior, vice-president;
Samuel A. Cohen, who has served in
several ministerial positions, solici
tor-general; Groves, of freshman
football fame, sheriff; and “Fatty”
Hubert, of the demure form, clerk.
Those who will serve under Padg
ett are: Thomas L. Glenn and Carl
K. Nelson, well known seniors, as
vice-president and solicitor-general
respectively; McElhenny, sheriff, and
R. S. Florence, clerk.
Davis, who immediately assumes
the leadership of the Moot Court, is
also president of the Henry W.

very successful term as solicitor-
general. He is a member of the
bar of the state. Davis is one of the
best liked men in the Law School
and has a large circle of friends who
celebrate his honor.

ities. He is captain in the R. O. T.
('.. a member of the Pan-Hellenic
Council, a Counsellor, and an orator
of great eloquence. Charlie has been

membership Is in the Lambda Chi
Alpha.
The Jeffersonian has been con
ducted for the first two terms of the
year under the uble leadership of B.
H. Ramsey and Thomas B. Walton
in a most successful manner. It is
believed that with Davis and Padg
ett at the helm, the Moot Court will
at least equal this past record, and
that their terms of office will mark
the culmination of the most favor
able year the organization has
known.
