THE MERCER CLUSTER
November 4, 1921
CHAPEL TALKS
Tuesday, 25th
Meteer faculty and students were
honored by a visit from the Board of
Trustees of the university, which was
indeed u pleasant surprise for the
students to have so many noted men
at chapel on one day. Several re
sponded with short talks as, intro
duced by. President Weaver.
Rev. J. K. Singleton, of Fitzgeraid,
acting chairman of- the Bourd of
Trustees for this session, gave a very
interesting and helpful talk, busing
his statements on the subject of
"Thoroughness.” In speaking of the
great need of men to-dpy, the speaker
emphasized the art of mastering a
thing so it will stay with the student,
"(jot possession of the material you
have now," declared the speaker. “If
you wiint to make a success make a
foundation and let this foundation be
sincere.”'
The ilext speaker introduced by Dr.
•Weaver was lion. J. Pope Brown, of
Milledge.villv, who is an alumnus of
Mercer. After a sort talk of helpful
advice to the students, the speaker,
closed by saying that he would be.
glad .if the students (riot all of them
at- one time) would come over and
tuke dinner with him.
One of the most, if not the most,
"I'eppy” talks of the morning was
that given by Dr. E. T, Holmes, an
alumnus of Mercer and president of
Gordon Institute at Burnesville. Pres,
ideiit Holmes, being a great athlete
and at one time coach of the Mercer
football team, spoke in terms of foot
ball, saying that the signul has been
given and it is up to every student to
get u firm hold on the bull, follow the
interference through the line and get
by the, safety men behind the line in
the. backfield and get the touchdown.
“Many games are won by a single
touchdown,” declared the president.
Another speaker introduced was
Mr. John T. Chapman, Savannah, Who
made a short talk on. the importance
of taking the best advantage of the
opportunity now open to every stu
dent present,
Hon. Cliff Walker, Monroe, an
alumnus of Mercer and at one time
attorney-general, who stated that this
was his first opportunity to speak in
chapel singe he was a student at Mer
cer. “My father was named for Bil
lington Sanders, first president of
Mercer, my brother was named for
Billingtbn Sanders and my son was
.named for BilLington Sahders,” said
the speaker, In speaking of his little
boy, the futher told’of an incident
with regard to Georgia Day, stating
that his son said he would not-cele
brate thut day for he was a "Mercer
man.” The speaker made a great ap
peal to the students to be “service
men.” He declared that there never
forty-five students ready and trained
for speaking. * . »
The speaker, being filled with en
thusiasm .'on his subject, urged that
the students wake up to the occasion
and get enthused also, for this wiR
bring about the friendly rivalry which
is needed. Dr. Montague emphasized
the fact-that we should start early-to
be prepared So that in a short time
Mercer can say to other colleges and
universities, “Send on your teams,
‘old Mercer’ is ready for you.” '
Upon the suggestion made by Dr.
Montague that two junior literary
societies be formed, junior Phi Delta
and junior Ciceronian, a motion was
mode and carried that a committee be
named to look into the matter. Dr.
Weaver appointed on this committee
the four presidents of the classes, the
two presidents of the societies, from
the student body, and Dr. Montague,
Dr. Williams and Dr. Flippin as rep
resentatives of the faculty. *

rode around, too. After she stopped
another man did some triek riding,
but most of us went outside, where
Irene was drawing another crowd.
From here we were attracted to an
illusion, show. I failed -.to see -the
ticket collector again and decided to
keep my ticket -as a souvenir. We
were confronted by bodyless, ladies,
floating : ladies, legless ladies, and
fortune telling ladies, and came out
iii a rather confused state <of. mind.
From here we went .to' the “Ike and.
Mike, Only .Living Twin Midgets,
who will shortly.put on a boxing ex
hibition—only one dime, ten cents,
the tenth part of u dollar” show. The
show Was pretty good and we show
ered them with nickels, dimes and
pennies, mostly pennies.
“Over the Falls” attracted us and
after listening to some El Toro on
the subject we invested—that is, they
did: I failed to. see the ticket seller
or collector that time. After passing
over .shaking boards, whirling, discs,
and moving steps and passing over a
hurricane, we came to a halt. A me
chanic (I took him for an executor)
would place two boys in a box, shut
the door and pull a lever. I listened
attentively fqr any screams, groans,
or sounds of crunching bones or flesh,
but outside of the noise of whirring
machinery all was silence. It was
with, much misgiving that I' entered
and took my seat with another ter
rified Freshman. The mechanic closed
the door and we were left to our own
forebodings' and loud heart thumps.
But it was” only for. a few seconds as
some doors directly before us flew
great a need for men with trained
minds. “Throughout the world and
Georgia there is a great need for
trained hearts. Prepare in mind as
well as hehrt to. lead this world to
LOVE,” concluded the speaker.
The last speaker of the morning
was Attorney J. B. Guerry, Monte
zuma, alumnus of.Mercer, who, upon
walking to the front, addressed the
student body , as “young gentlemen.”
This brought a great applaUse from I
the students who understood that Dr.
Weaver'was not the only president of
Merter to use these two words. The
‘speaker based his inspiring talk on
the. kind of influence dominating a
college: “I‘thank God that there was
then a good influence here and that
there is the same influence here.still,”
declared the lawyej-. In conclusion
he stated that for the sake of your
self, your college, your state, your
country, and your God lead a good
influence.

Wednesday, 26th
After, a few introductory, remarks,
Dr. Weaver introduced the speaker of
the morning, Dr. Montague, with
these words, “Dr. Montague, whom
we appreciate and. love.” I ;
Dr, Montague in his elegant and
appealing manner urged’ the students
to train .themselves along the-lines of
speaking an^ debating. He stressed
the importance of inter-collegiate de
bates, stating that if we-accept five of
these invitations from other colleges
we will need fifteen men. As to where
these men shall be secured Dr. Mon
tague stated that they would come
from 1 the literary societies chiefly and
some from the law school possibly.
The speaker urged the necessity of
the alternates being .prepared as well
as thle speakers and if this be true

deposited, somewhat out of our usual
equilibrium, at the feet of a hilarious
crowd. After the last fellow ■ came
rolling down we wended our way out
side. Everything had closed except' a
small show Where a boy was ' ex
hibited who had elephant legs. They
were twenty : thrcc inches, around. .1
shuddered as I thought of washing
them. I pictured cannibals furiously
fighting oyer one of those legs even
ns I used to scuffle with my brothers
over the'“pulley bohe” of a chicken.
But let me change the subject; it
brings “grits” to our minds.
We got out just in time to catch
thy last car. While innocently going
through my pockets, to make a good
effect on the fellow whom I was go
ing to touch for car fare, I ran across
the illusion show ticket. This recalled
to me the fact that I must have
rudely ignored the ticket venders and
grabbers. in the last two attractions.
I came on back to the dormitory
and—well, anyway, • I went to bed
three or four hours later and slept
well until breakfast. - ’
