Some of the great est ol American geniuses have made low reco'-ds while at college. “Fool Tom Jackson” stood near the foot of his class, but when the time had come, he made a record as a general such as has never been sur passed by an American. The men who come to college simply to take first honor, seldom succeed. When a man desires to improve his mind, and diligently sets to work to attain to the desired end, then he is following the road which leads to success. ‘ VON DEN PROFESSOREN. foot-ball. Mr. N. It.

It seems that thecou.se of study could be somewhat abridged so as to abolish Saturday lecita- tiocs and improve our societies. I HE BENEFITS IVE RECEIVE HERE. To the persou who makes a su perficial review of the work done at the University of Georgia, it would not appear that such a great amount of good was being done. It is only in tlie light of experience that one can recount the benefits bestowed upon him by a collegiate education.! Attacks have been made upon the University by persons who never saw within the walls of a college, in all probability, but they have been absolutely and entirely refuted by our Chancellor in his letters to a leading daily paper in the State.

Tlie following are the teams as they appeared upon the grounds: Seniors—Cunningham, Captain ; Broyles, N. R., Wright, Cohen, Mell. Evais, Glass, Boudurant, Comer, Bancs and Mercer.

At half past eleven o’clock the ball nftf^jphtccd midway between the goals and the game commenced.— Boh Lamar kicked the ball for the college team, and all the rushers came together. The conflict raged; black eyes, bruised legs, and ex hausted boys were all lobe Jseen on tlie field. After a very hard conflict of twenty-five minutes, Mercer grabbed- tlie ball, dashed madly ahead, rushed within twenty feet of the goal, threw the ball to Glass, who sent it flying through the goal, | and scored the first victory for the Seniors. A short interval of rest then intervened. On the second contest, Wright sent the ball off for the Seniors aud the fun began again. The contest this time was all the more furious _ The im mense form ol Broyles as he dashed Dickens’ character of Sam del is probably the most perfect! a well as tl*e most entertaining ever-on- ceived.—Prof. Morris.
