after the fall of the Roman Empire.
At present there is only one bundl

Hall and Library are classic; the

building, the gymnasium Penfield
Hall and Sherwood Hall are, as yet
unclassified.
The change that is to be made in
the style of the* buildings will be wel
ocmed by' those who have noted the
difference between the harsh lines of
the library and curves and spires
at the main building.

The Gothic .architecture of the

The litterateur, Horace WalpolS
did much to arouse interest in this
’ old architecture which had given
way to the classic by building his
famous home in the Gothic style. Hip
devotees naturally turned to the
Gothic and It Is because the style

Monday A. M.
“'No other family in Georgia has
furnished as many preachers as that
o^pthe Callaways’’ said Dr. Weaver,
in presenting the Monday morning
speaker at chapel, Rev. T. W. Calla
way, pastor of the Tabernacle church
whol eaves for Chattanooga, Tennes
see. Rev. Cailaway delivered a very
helpful as.well as interesting talk to
the students.
TJ>e speaker said that on one oc
casion when, he was m another town
he was introduced to a man by the
name of Callaway and remarked:
“I am always glad 9 to meet any one
by the name of Callaway, unless they
have been in the penitentiar>.” The
man seemed very unconcerned, not
even smiling. “You have played it.
now Callaway,”- said one of his
friends afterwards, “that man has
just gotten out of the "pen”- for
whisky making and his son is in jail
now for breaking in the depot.”
“Christ is mentioned- as seven
things,” Rev. Callaway pointed out
after reading the first chapter of
John, and the first of these is Deity.
Then Creator. L fe, Light,- King, Sa
vior, and the last is that he i« out
shining Exaqiple.
“There are menTiTd women dying
in sin around us today” concluded
the speaker in telling of the great
work before all Christians today.
“Men let us gb out and save them.”
Robert E. Lee, in .addressing the stu-
dtnts Wednesday morning on what
may be suitably called “Citizenship.”
The speaker added that he hoped
Mercer University was a . school
built upon power of character and
power of ideals. “Each student should
ask himself the question: What?”
said the speaker. “What are you
going to -do‘after you leave Mercer?
What of-citizenship?”’
“Unless you are a good citizen in
the greatest sense the' word your
life Will be a failure,” .he declared.
“We have got to rise up.to our re
sponsibilities of citizenship day after
■ lay-” Rev. Ia*e then spoke of the de
fects 1 of the judicial system, saying
that one. of the greatest was that
of the best citizens evading the juries
which should not be so.
“Go forth from this place with
ideals of service” declared the speak
er in his Concluding remarks. “The
place for- you to serve is as a citizen.
Strive to make a pattern -of citizen
ship on earth more like the pattern
of- citizenship in Heaven.”
poultry show with him. At the show
they saw a rooster represented as
talking to a brood of chickens,
-Mr. Holmes proceeds to tell Mr.
Longfellow what the rooster is say
ing to the chickens, giving a parody
on “The Psalm of Life” which will
be found elsewhere in this issue. This
got the students in a roar of laugh
ter,, each verse seemingly more ri
diculous.
“Longfellow was one of those
sweet Christian characters,” said the
speaker in talking of his dear old
friend. Whittier and Emerson were
also great friends of Dr. Conwell.
“Mr. Emerson was a deep thinker
and a great writer," added the speak
Wednesday'A. M.
“There is one plane upon which all
meet and that is citirtnship” de
dared Rey. Charles H. Lee. whose
father was a first cousin to General
Thursday A. M. .,
One of the greatest treats that the
Mercer students have had in quite a
good, while was the privilege of hear
ing Dr. Russel Conwell, world famous
lecturer, Thursday morning at chapel |
hour. From the time he-entered the j
door of the chapel until the opening;
song there was constant cheering i
throughout the student body, a more J
enthusiastic applaus-- -coming from j
those who were so fortunate as to get,
a chance to hear him Wednesday eve I
ning at the .First church. j
“Mr. Holmes .was a great- lever of I
chickens,’’ said Dr. Conwell. The,
speaker added that one day Mr. Hol
mes invited Mr. Longfellow, a very
eminent friend of his, to go to a
Dr. Conwell gave as his greatest
reason for telling of these great
writers that it was the birthday of
Macon’s beloved and celebrated
writer. Sidney Lanier, whom all
should honor on that day.
“Young men look ahead in your
life and choose what you are going
to be* 1 ' insisted the speaker. Every
thing you hear or see regarding that
will help you. Choose something you
are fitted for, that you can do best.
“My last advice,” declared Dr. Con-
we:l,-“i» to choose early what you
are going to be and according to
your ability. God bless - you every
one.”
