lege record, for, although, it is a
good thing, it does not necessarily
make the man. 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.

Mr. N. It. Broyles was unanimously
elected Anniversariau of the Phi-Kappa
society to-day. He is a worthy represent

1888, will show an Athens audience whal

Very crowded one, aDd one which we hope
will be somewhat modified The custom
of having recitations on Saturday is a very
bad one, in our opinion, and one which is
a constant drawback upon our literary so
cieties, which constitute a great p ,rt of
tlie University of Georgia. 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.

A very interesting game of foot
ball came off on the Fair Grounds
last Wednesday, between the Senior
eleven and an eleven picked from
the college.
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.
College—Broyles, A., Captain;
Trib ile, Howell, Curry, Hardeman,
Wilhoxon, Stewart, Cooper, Craw
ley, Jobbs and Lamar.
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
