Dr. Boggs lectured to a large crowd of students at the college Y.
M. C. A. hall last Friday night. Though the University is attacked

The truth is the University s udents will compare favorably With
either Mercer or Emory—her enemies—even though they'are Theo
logical schools and cet themselves up as models. If the enemies of
the University Were to look after their own favorite college as closely
as they watch for some little thing to occur at the University, that
they may publish in their journals, call in ail their neighbors, kill
the fatted calf and feast on the glorious news, their colleges might
improve and we be compelled to consider them our rivals, but as
long as they howl around over the State about such little things as
they impute to the University, we will continue tost e the University
head and shoulders above them, and her sons will continue to hold
the most important positions in Georgia.
