COSBY CARLISLE
Mercer University sorrows.
■ Cosby Carlisle,, one of Mercer’s
. purest sons^ has passed from among
us.' In Viis death Mercer loses hnd
eternity gains u rare spirit. '
Often we observed him, often we
thought of him, often we FELT the
power of his gentlemanly Christian
character.,
In the illness that resulted in Wfs
death his thoughts wore witJi his
Alma Mater and his fellow-students.
As manager of the Glee Club, his
heart was bent on making a success
for Mercer of this phase of college
activities. Prof. Walker, his beloved
teacher and instructor in music, had
learned to love and to' trust Cosby
Carlisle as few teachers love and
trust their pupils.
For Cosby 'inspired love and trust.
IIis every demeanor, called forth the
greatest admiration and confidence.
In his frank eyes lay- the fires—and
the poise—of. a soul transcendent,
sure of its basis of faith and hope in
God and humanity, happy in the en
joyment and service of his fellow-
man.
Mercer University sorrows, but as
our hearts are hurt at his going may
our hearts not also be made more
tender and compassionate by having
known Cosby Carlisle, our fellow-
student. our Christian gentleman,
our, friend?
CHARACTER’S TRIBUTE
■ Christian character .received its
fitting tribute Tuesday in the great
throng, of people who attended the
funeral services of Cosby Carlisle,
and in the stupendous floral offering
of panoramic beauty.
Appreciation is not dead in the
hearts of men. Ixive and respect for
•true worth and high ideals are ever
springing up ip response to the irre
sistible appeal of a, noble-character.
This may be an , age of materialism
in a certain sense, butCosby Carlisle
has 1 proved, by his life that spiritual
values are immeasurably more po
tent than any other influence.
Kings Of the earth, nor princes,
nor statesmen, nor any great ohes
have ever better lived or more nobly
done than our friend who passed to
the beyond. Neither have any of the
world’s great leaders, or servants re
ceived. a more sincere tribute of lov
ing appreciation than was outpoured
from the hearts that gathered in the
Mercer chapel Tuesday.
Truly, life holds no nobler task
than thus impressing the hearts of
men with the seal of a Christian
^character! '
WINNING SPIRIT '
Mercer’s - team and ' student body
showed, the winning spirit Saturday,
despite the fact that we lost the
game by one measly point. Out boys
outgamed and outplayed the visitors
decisively, in the last half, and the
students stayed by the team till the
last minute of play.
.With the score 7 to 0 against us
the whole mass of students showed
■ their unconquerable spirit by parad-
' ing over the field to the tune' of
“Glory." Such courage, and loyalty
in the face of seeming defeat will
spme Sweet day put Mercer among
the first of the football teams of the
South. ’ ’
Then recall how .the team went
.back into the fray in the Second
quarter afid played the Oglethorpe
eleven almost off their feet. Only a
bad break in luck denied us a glori
ous victory over the college that ex
pected to run Up a large score
against us. ■
Students and team, let our motto
be, "We may be beaten, but we never
quiet” '
CAMPUS NEIGHBORS
“Neighborliness is a thing of
spirit,” said Dr. W. A. Lee in .his
audress Thursday morning. Dr. Lee
applied his thoughts to world affairs
and to these ait airs they are fully
applicable. But such principles may
oe applied effectively in the lives of
the students in college.
Here at Mercer we need, to use-the
words of Dr. Lee, “more of mutual
confidence, mutual co-operation.” In
short, we need more neighborliness
among the students. , This does not
mean that we are any more lacking
in the neighborly spirit than other
institutions. . But in college every-
ooily is feverishly busy with a multi
tude of duties and pleasures, which
in their' sum total take up all. our
time, and. we have no time for plain,
every-day personal contact and ap
preciation.
If the students knew each other
better, many, petty jealousies and
prejudices Would disappear as fog
before the sunshine. Here a man
imagines another is “stuck up,” there
unother thinks himself'' slighted or
discriminated against by a fellow-
student: ' And in a majority of cases
the imaginings are all “bosh.”
.Let us hail one' another as neigh
bors and friends. Let us shake hands
more. Let us say “hello” and
howisit"' with a right good hearti
ness as we meet on the campus. Let
us allow the other fellow to be a bit
different” if he wishes.
Let us not get too busy to' be
Neighbors.
A BEAUTIFUL WORLD *
John Milton Samples
Tis a beautiful world we’re living in,
There’s more of goodness and less of
sin,
There’s more of kindness and less of
greed,
There’s more of love and less of
•• creed.;
Tis a wonderful world where we
abide,
With myriad charms too fair to hide,
Of mountain and valley and river and
plain,
And silver sands encircling the main.
There's forest und field and nTching
sky
And mist-mantled cloudships glid
ing by.
There’s flower and fruit abundantly
spread ; *.
Where none may hunger of beauty
and bread.
'Tis a God-made world—His own
footstool,
His love the law wherewith to rule,
'Twas He who made it and called it
good,
And so it is if we understood.
PRESIDENT WEAVER’S
CONTRIBUTION
Perhaps no .other contribution to
the Georgia University Memorial
Fund is more appreciated by the
university ami bespeaks so much for
good relations among Georgia col
leges than the contribution made by
President Weaver of Mercer Uni
versity. By this donation, President
Weaver says in effect: Education is
such a splendid thing I am ready to
help anybody who is engaged in it.
His offering the Mercer athletic
field to the University of Georgia for
the Georgia-Dartmouth game is an
other evidence that President Weaver
is of the stuff out of which good col
lege and university. presidents are
marie.—Macon Telegraph.
GROWING BETTER
“The Mercer Cluster," the weekly
newspaper published qt Mercer Uni
versity, is growing better with every
passing week. It is well edited and
reflects in a most wholesome manner
the spirit'of the institution—Index.
WHY IS IT?
They lift their eyebrows.
They heighten their complexions.
. They tilt their chins.
They raise'their voices..':
They elevate their skirts.
They‘build up their heels.
And yet there'are people who say
that the modern girls do not devote
any thought or time to the higher
things.—Georgia Cracker.

TIPS AND TAPS
By Bob Gamble
Romeo Wins on Straw Vote
A toast to Romeo we give
With pleasure on this day:
“May he live long and prosper
Eating Georgia peavine hay!”
Everybody knows the honorable
Romeo Romeo Romeo. Ohl That is,
everybody who has studied journal
ism at the university. Well, of course
this is not exactly everybody in the
world and we do not mean to insin
uate that it is even almost every
body in the world, but as we started
out to say, everybody in the Mercer
college community, which really is
“our” world, knows a young fellow
who is affectionately and favorably
known at Wesleyan as Romeo, al
though he may be known at Mercer
by the sole cognomen of ’’Romeo.”
This- is of little matter, however, for
all Mercer students will know of
whom we are speaking!
Well, here’s what we were going
to say:
Last Friday morning “Prof.
George" and his .understudies of
the journalism department, de
cided that they would go to town
and bring the new issue of The
Cluster to the millions of Mercer
students on the campus who al
ways fight to be the recipients of
the first C. ***'
On the way to town in that .
ear in which the aforementioned
professor has Dodged everything
since he returned to the campus,
the journalist understudies, one
of Whom was Romeo, spied a
load of hay. This same Romeo
said, “Boys, that surely does
make me homesick.”
And would you believe it!
Romeo did not appreciate it at
all when we asked him if it did
not make him hungry, tod. Of
course .we may be a miserably
poor scholar of human nature,
but we were surprised in that
Romeo did not appreciate the
humor which we meant. From a
place of pre-eminence among his
fellow students, Trot W— are
piped up with the information
that maybe Romeo wa s of the >
opinion that we meant to insinu
ate that only a So. Ga. “jassax”
would feel hungry when he saw
a load ’of hay.
Everybody step up' now and
vote for Romeo’s ' true status.'
Are you all done? Well, it is
finished and Romeo wins a bale
of hay. We thank you!
