alike in that manner we would

suggestions such as having new
types of games, some played by a
couple and others played in groups,
and to have some social activity
once a month in the gymnasium.

VESPER SERVICE WINS
STUDENT'S APPROVALS
Vesper services have been in :
augurated here on the campus;
every .Sunday evening as a com-j
jdetion of ih day's devotional sen
v ices.
Vt e have had programs given us
by the 8.Y.1'.L. of the First Bap-,
list Church, and by campus talent, ,
with the promise rhat other organ-'
inations would give us programs in
the future.
The services have been sponsor
ed by 1 rofessor Hart, and many
! evidences of the good work that is
| being done are prevalent. It gives
thse that are unable to attend ser
i vices elsewhere, or fail to, the op
i porfunity to cultivate the spiritual
! side of their characters.
This is a forward move for the
: betterment of the student body by
1 the faculty, and we are sure that
| the services will accomplish the
1 purpose for which they were in
augurat'd, namely to complete the
day's devotional services, * ami to
give aU a chance to experience
Christian fellowship right here on
?he cam ups. .
THE WWT GEORGIAN
The Absence of
Tradition at West
Georgiy College
Doubtless, one of 'he greatest
factors influencing our campus life
here at West Goor- ia College is an
obvious absence of tradition, and
the burden being put on us to
formulate our own traditions and
ideals.
predecessors. It is a privilege for us
predecessors. It is a privilege to us
to be among the charter members
of this great institution. It is we
who will hold the reins; check the
Hood; and build this insntution in
to what it will be and should be.
We do not follow the example of
others, but use the ideas of our own
leaders; . <• are functioning as ex
emplars now.
No one has been before to what
i? now West Oeoigia College, It is
our God given duty to set its pace,
am; ?o .i hold high the noble
aspirations that w now seek. We
have a gigantic task before us. We
hardly know which way to face, as
we are facing problems that have
never before n encounered
here. We are the masters of this
institution's fate, and the captain
of Its soul.
We hold the torch now, to make
our deeds those of honor and no
bility, and to set a flame of love
for this institution in our heart?,
and make our lives here fit exam
ples for the oncomi’;. generations
to view, ami to consider intelli
gently, instead of some petty rule
that the student body might make.
This is our real task. We are fac
ing it with greatest forth mb and
interest, and have pledged our
selves to do our best.
It is a burning desire for us, the
first of the first, to set such pre
sidents that in after life it can be
said that we are a credit to the in
stitution, along with tiie institu
iior being a credit to us. We shall
always count thb fact of our being
the pace setters and the tradtion !
makers, ourselves, as one of the j
most cherished of our memories.
Inspiration At

11 T a, eg” Te7t- Tkta action

VVI . v>ou : d ■ i, press noon every
student oi tins in solution that. a
college claims to give birth to in
spiration. B ; iid - the young by
its celebrity, kindle* He atieetions
of the mi i'Oe; by it beauty

What poet was able to write
lines that blended in harmony who
did not have beautiful inspiration
in his heart and soul? A college is
no: necesarily a birthplace of
poets, immortal authors, founders
of schools, or conquerors of na
, ions; however inspiration has cer
i a inly been proved the by-products
of succes.
Fon t lei someone knock the
wind out of your sails, so to speak.
Let your sails be so utterly filled
with inspiration that the failures
| that block your journey will be
routed out.
Our student body previously has
shown outstandingly that it has
been inspired. Perhaps each pupil
has a definite origin for his i’lspi
ration. But may we suggest that!
not matter by whom or by wiia
iacftHive you have been inspired,
let that stand foremost in your
character chart forever. It is the
.rail that makes you become elo
quent and exponent of your art in
its most winning form, and give
you the means of pouring your
work forth with zeal and enthus
iasffi.
Learn to appreciate your value-.
Be inspired by someone or some
thing. Do not let any small disap
pointment discourage you but
keep your ideals.
We care nothing for a student
that merely resides at an institu
tion, yawns and says: “Why
should I study?” If there is some
one here w ho seems flippant or un
fair, his pin o is not at Wes' Geor
gia College. We have yet to find a
student here of that nature.
Was it not David Slarr Jordan
who said. M Pe a lift long or short,
its i a i let ness depends on what
t was lived for?”
