N, Ainsworth,-of the Methodist church, at the chapel hour Wednesday morning. “The chances are that if you are practicing habits of jumping the rough places, you will be doing the 'same thing all through the journey of life,” Bishop, Aipsworth also emphasized (he fact .that the kind of men that America needs to-day are those who avoid the spectacular things of life. “Not all great things have been done/' he declared. '“The greatest things remain yet to be done. • Give yourself to those unspectacular thing* in life. Spectacular men have jaded the world. " . “Give yourself - to the reality of things and, build all life on an im pregnable, foundation that Will'Cause you to solye the problems of life as they come. “Stand by the history of the Bap tist church.

They chose’the lesser evil, and since spanking had been the main indignity visited Upon the Freshmen the Sophomores were duly spanked by a committee of hqskyy Seniors. Mercer University now feels that it has accomplished something toward the abolition of the silly practice, but no-one can be sure of that until the next Freshman class arrives.

W. Waite MERCER HISTORY It is a pleasure well worth .the time of any Mercer man, from-' the green est to the gravest, from the wittiest to the wisest, from the' freshest- to the frenziest, to go to the - Library, ask Miss Sallie to direct you. to a bound volume of the ’ Mercerian, and just sit there, scan the pages and let . it soak in. A book full of thrills and throbs, wit and wisdom,, interwoven with seriousness and simplicity. A delight for every mind, With a grasp of appreciation for, and a partially developed sense of the spirit that has ever manifested itself on ; The Mercer Campus. The Mcrcbrian is "Canned” Mercer history. An account of the' manifold activities of this Grand Old Institut ion ip the bygone days- Says Waldo Emerson: “The Becond greatest thing in the life of a student is the mind of the past.” |f this be true, and we dare not refute it, what of the com ing generation of Mercer, when Lee Battle shall have passed into that happy beyond? The only connection ' that the present generation has with the past is Lee Battle’s ever-flowing fountain of knowledge of the activi ties pertaining to Mercer, and when the Creator sees fit to take this “Walking Encyclopedia' of Mercer” out of our midst, there will be two missing links and one will Be just as hard to produce as the other. Seriously, fellow, can’t, we revive the Mercerian, oir invent some other form of registering toe activities of Mercer, which are greater and more nuhteroub to-day than ;evcr before in the history of the institution, on the illuminating pages of histoty ? Then in the fatitre years when toe pano rama of Mercer unfolds to the ends of the earth, “We’ll be right there!” J. Artemus Ruffin. HAZING AGAIN The recent lesson at Mercer on what we will call the' impropriety. of hazing has not only had' immediate effect, but is attracting attention throughout the whole country. For instance, The Philadelphia Record says: “Mercer University at Macon, Ga.,. has introduced an entirely new scheme to discourage- hazing. This “I have lived long in this valley of tears and my head has been whitened by hurrying years; I’ve sized up the world as I’ve toddled along; I’ve sampled'up the right and I’ve sam- plcd up the wrong; I’ve herded goats and I’ve frolicked with sheep, and I’ve' learned how to laugh and I’ve learned how to weep. I’ve loafed, I’ve dreamed, I’ve whacked some wood, and I’ut aure of this fact—it pays to be good. Whene’er I do wrong, with malicious intent, then I fee) for a while like a epunterfei cent; I would"swap myself Off for a watch made of brass, I haven’t the courage tp look in - the glass. But when I do right how chesty I feel! Thp college is Ailed with, my jubilant spiel! I feel that a feather ia placed in my hood,, and I guess I am right, for it pays to be good! Oh, what are the things of particular worth, and what are-the prizes we. gain upon earth ? They are not the po'ems that go clickcty-clank; they’re not the bundles we have in the bank. Respect of our neighbors, the love of our friends, some credit up there where the Armament bends, these things are the guerdon for which we should strive, they give us an object, in be ing alive. And. you’ll never gain them as gain them you should, unless, you believe it pays to be good.” GET VALUE- IT PAYS!
