Benjamin Newton Duke
Benjamin Newton Duke
MR. I'.EXJAMIN NEWTON DUKE was born April 27, 1855, in what is now Durham County, North Carohna. He attended the neighborhood schools, and later was sent to the New Garden Boarding School, which afterwards became Guilford College. He manifested his gratitude to this old Quaker academy in a beautiful way when in 1907 he and his brother built the handsome Memorial Hall at Guilford College. He early went to work with his father and brother in the tobacco business, the marvelous success of which is well known. For a long time now he has been intimately associated with great business and industrial enterprises of many kinds. He is largely interested in the manufacturing of tobacco and of cotton, is president or director of banks in North Carolina and New York, and is actively engaged in railroad development. Recently he and his brother, Mr. James B. Duke, have been developing water- power in North and South Carolina, and building electric railroads that will ultimately connect the important towns in the Piedmont section of the Carolinas. For many years Mr. Duke has contributed liberally to churches and benevo- lent purposes of every description, but his most significant benefactions have been to Trinity College. Along with his father, the late lamented Washington Duke, he has from the beginning of its existence in Durham, been a stanch supporter of the College. Especially since i8g6 has the rapid growth of the College been primarily due to his inspiration and support. He has not only given money with great- generoisty, but he has exerted an influence that has always been liberating and inspiring.

History of Literary Societies
In the beginning of their respective careers in the college, the literary societies occupied the most prominent place in the realm of student activities. In fact, for many years they were practically the only student interests, outside of athletics, and in those days every man in college belonged to one or the other of them. In later years this has not been so generally the case, yet a larger number of students hold membership and do active work in the societies than in any other phase of student endeavor. Consequently, literary society history is peculiarly interest- ing. Brief sketches of the societies are as follows :
The Columbian Literary Society was organized in 1846, eight years after the founding of Union Institute, and five years before the name was changed to Trinity College. The Society has had a steady growth, and numbers among its members some of the State's most prominent politicians, educators, writers, and professional men. One of its members has written of it : "The tone of the society has been steady, quiet and dignified. It has always stood on plain, hard work and honest service. It has striven to develop all that is best in its members in every way. Its policy has been to give a fair and equal chance to all, making every member feel welcome, and rewarding fair and earnest service, regardless of all things else."
The Hesperian Society was founded June 26, 1851, simultaneously with the granting of the charter to Trinity College. Since that time it has had a successful life in the college. Its members point with pride to their society record in debating contests of all kind. It, too, has a distinguished list of alumni, representing it in all the walks of life, and a large representation in the college faculty. It says to new men : "One thing understand — if you join the Hesperian Literary Society we will do our utmost to assist you as a brother in developing and improving the talent for literary ability you possess; if you join our sister society, we still bid you Godspeed as a friendly rival, but in a rivalry which exists entirely on the surface — a rivalry in building up and not in tearing down." One result of the work of these two societies is the Trinity Chronicle, supported jointly by the two organizations and reflecting much credit to its supporters.
The last addition to the literary society family is the Athena Society, an organization of the women of Trinity College. Its organization was perfected January 8, 1912. In the year or more of its existence it has had about ninety members, and at commencement of its first year succeeded in forming an alumnae association that gives promise of much good. The Athena seems to have passed the embryonic stage and to be a successful fixture.

History of Greek Letter Orders
The collesfe fraternities, with a total membership of over one hundred, play a large part in certain phases of college life. Corresponding with the gradual development of the college, and the consequent opening up of further opportun- ities, new fraternities have entered the field and established chapters in the college.
Alpha Tau Omega first put in its North Carolina chapter in 1872. In 1873, Eta Prime of Kappa Sigma entered, and was followed in 1901 by Kappa Alpha, with its Alpha Tau chapter. In the same year, Pi Kappa Alpha put in its Alpha Alpha chapter. The North Carolina Gamma chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon entered in 1909, and in 1912, Sigma Chi made the last addition by establishing its Beta Lambda chapter.
The sororities of the college, two in number, took the place of local orders. Omicron chapter of Alpha Delti Phi came in 191 1, and Sigma Delta of Kappa Delta was established in 1912.
Besides the mere fact of their presence and membership, little can be put into such a history — the Greek letter orders stand or fall by themselves.

Then let our thoughts in fancy rove To sunny Southern girls we love : Then lift our glasses as we stand And drink to grand old Dixie Land.

Hail to Thee, O Kappa Sigma
Hail to thee, O Kappa Sigma !
Hail the Scarlet, Green and White With its many wondrous teachings.
With its jewels gleaming bright! As the European order
Flourished near and far, May we modern Kappas ever
With our Crescent and our Star.
Hail to thee, O Kappa Sigma!
Hold our willing fealty. May "Bononia Docet" guide us
E'er in faith and loyalty. Raise aloft on high our standard,
On caressing winds unfurled ; May our banner wave forever
'Cross the guerdons of the world !

To Pi Kappa Alpha
O come, let us sing from the depths of our souls. To Pi Kappa Alpha our deepest devotion,
Till borne on the winds, as the thunder-peal rolls. Its glad notes shall echo from ocean to ocean.
Firm champion of truth, and guardian of youth,
Of thy towering greatness thy manhood gives proof.
All hail, noble order, beloved of old !
Long wave thy bright colors, pure Garnet and Gold !
Enrolled as thy knights, with thy banner above.
We are constantly arising by manly endeavor, To the heights of thy ideals, true friendship and love,
Which never can die, but live on forever. So through all the days, over life's toilsome ways. The light of thy friendship shines clear through the haze. What a wreath of real meaning thy emblem imparts — The Shield and the Diamond worn over our hearts !
What is this that we hear over valley and plain ?
A sound of sweet voices in harmony ringing, 'Tis the chorus of sisters in joyful refrain,
The deeds and the praises of gallant knights singing. As we look up on high to the great Father Pi, That glorious ensign appears in the sky. May it blended in beauty with "Old Glorv" wave "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Sketch of Secret Societies
The "9019" is tlie oldest of the secret societies at Trinity, having been founded in 1890. It is an honor society for the promotion of scholarship and the fostering of true interest in the welfare of the college. Members are initiated only from the upper classes.
The "9019" founded the South Atlantic Quarterly, and has charge of the annual civic celebration on Washington's birthday. In recent years it has twice promoted State inter-scholastic declamation contests. The society at present awards scholarship prizes of books in a number of high schools.
The "Tombs" is a secret organization of the junior class, whose purpose is the promotion of student activities and interest. It was founded in 1903 and has since originated several unique features of student life. At present it gives a cup to the winning class in the annual field day meet.
The "Red Friars" organization was founded in 1913 by members of the Senior class, with the intention of promoting a closer social spirit in the college community.

With respect to the national organiza- tion of the Y. M. C. A., delegates are sent to all the summer conferences, the inter- state meetings, and the State Bible insti- tutes.

Trinity College Historical Society
The aims of this organization are to collect and preserve manuscripts, books, pamphlets, newspapers, and relics that recall the past or are of value in writing history ; to encourage the spirit of investigation among its members ; and to publish papers, books, and documents of permanent value.
In the Library Building are a museum and a vault for exhibiting and preserv- ing the treasures of the society. Here are to be found many rare volumes of North Carolina newspapers, the first editions of Lawson's History (1709), Brickell's Natural History ( 1738), the Laws of 1752, and hundreds of pamphlets. There are also over 5,000 manuscripts, a few of which are reproduced on the preceding and following pages.
Of the relics, a piece of the flag of Columbus is the oldest ; next is the medal struck by the Pope in 1572 in commemoration of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. The ink-stand and a metallic jug handle of General Stephen H. Moore illustrate forgotten customs : a knife taken from the grave of Patrick Ferguson recalls King's Mountain. Most suggestive of all are the table and the bottle used by Generals Sherman and Johnston in drawing up terms of surrender at the Bennett House, four miles west of Durham.
In 1897 this society began the publication of the Historical Papers; in igio the John Lawson Monographs were established as the means of publishing books. Nine series of the Historical Papers have been issued. \'olume I of the John Lawson Monographs is the Autobiograpliy of Brantley York: volume II is the Memoirs of ]]'. U\ H olden.

The Season
The tennis season of 1912-13 was doubly successful. Lksicles being wholly pleasing to its followers in the matter of scores, the tennis team also served partially to re-establish athletic relations with the University of this State.
The varsity tournaments began about the first of October and lasted two weeks before the team was picked. Siler, McKinnon. C. White, Few, and McClees all played strong games, but these were finally eliminated, leaving N. I. White and A. R. Anderson to compose the team, and R. B. Anderson for the position of alternate.
After a brief practice, White and Anderson met the strong Guilford team, on the home courts. The Trinity team won all three matches of this meet, but the sets were more closely contested than the score would indicate, and on the whole, some skilful tennis was displayed. In the return meet held at Guilford our team was victorious, but not by a clean score, for Anderson lost to his opponent after a long, hard battle. But this was quite satisfactory, as it gave Trinity five out of the six matches.
A good bit of practice followed before the team went over to Chapel Hill for their next meet. But here they were pitted against some worthy opponents, and deserve credit for the close sets they played, even though Carolina won the meet. White lost to his man after winning the first set, and Anderson lost in another close battle. The sets in doubles stood "two all," when darkness ended the contest.
The season which had begun so auspiciously for Trinity ended abruptly at this time by the resignation of Manager Carter, who decided to leave college in order to take a business course. But for this unfortunate circumstance, the team, in all probability, would have added other scalps to their belt.

Personal Mention
N. I. White, the captain of the team, did not let the duties of tlie captaincy aflfect his playing in the least, but lived up to the old idea that the captain should be the best man. White was an old man on the team this year, havmg won his letter in tennis last season. He used this experience to advantage, especially in doubles, where his partner was a new man and needed the steadying influence of a veteran. He lost only one match during the entire season, and this was by a close score ; while he won the rest with comparative ease. An idea of his superior- ity to the rest of the squad mav be gained from the fact that he did not lose a single set during the whole tournament. His greatest effectiveness lies in his abilitv to hit the ball where he isn't looking.
A. R. Anderson, while a new man on the team, was not by any means a new man at the game. He plaved on the Freshman team last year, but this season he showed marked improvement and rightly deserved a place on the team. That he played a strong, consistent game can be seen from his score against Guilford, when he allowed his opponent only two games in the match. Although not as successful as White in the matter of scores, with proportional development he should make a verv valuable man next year. He was stronger in doubles than in singles, which fact accounts for Trinity not losing a single match in doubles.
R. B. Anderson, who was again chosen for the position of alternate, could doubtless have effectively filled the place of either of his team-mates had he been called upon to do so. As it was, he took no active part in the_ playine season, but his work in the tournament seemed to give promise of a varsity position next year. He has a good serve, and is an excellent back court shot. Most of the credit for the victorv of his class team in 191 1 and 1912 was due to his versatile tactics.

R. B. Anderson
C. R. Bagley
Class Champions, 1911-12
On account of the fact that it was already late when the varsity tournament ended, the class tournaments were not played this year. This left Anderson and Bagley as class champions again. Although the other classes had strong teams, it is probable that the result would have been the same, had the classes again contested for the cliamjiionship.

Personal Mention
This was Rand's second year as manager of the basket-ball team, and while he was good last season, he was even better this year. At the expense of no little time, labor, and worry, he prepared an extensive schedule, which included one trip through the State, another through Virginia and Washington, and several good games on the home floor. The team played about twenty games and had a few cancelled, thus showing the results of the manager's efforts as compared with those of the baseball manager, whose schedule called for about twenty-eight games in all.
For the first time in the history of basket-ball, Trinity had a regular coach this year in the person of an old student, J. E. Brinn, better known in basket-ball circles as "Big Jennie." And he is as good as his name, even in the eastern part of the State, where he spends the summer in training on the farm. The team has shown the effects of his coaching, too. Although prospects were not unusually bright at the beginning of the season, he has turned out a team equal to any of its weight which Trinity has sent out in recent years.
In 1912-13, "Little Jennie" served his third term on the team, and held the position of captain for the second time. He went from his regular position at forward to fill the place at guard, left vacant by Hedrick, of Columbus fame, and he filled it to the satisfaction of both his team-mates and the spectators. Besides his playing ability, his presence in the game materially affected the play- ing of the whole team. This was very noticeable in the first Durham Y. M. C. A. game, when his presence was greatly missed. His guarding was excellent, and in addition to this he nearly always scored more goals than his forward. During the entire season of nineteen games, he allowed only 16 field goals, while he scored 31 himself.
Beal Siler, at forward, filled admirably the place left vacant by "Sally" Crowell's failure to return this year. His playing was of the grandstand order, but it also looked good to the Trinity scorekeeper. As captain of the champion Sophomore team, he looked good from the start, and Coach Brinn did not make any mistake when he picked him for forward. He is a hard worker and keeps pegging away, no matter what happens. It takes a good guard to keep him out of the limelight. He has an effective overhand shot, is good at passing, and doesn't mind rough playing. His record has been a good one.
Cherry again filled his old position at center, and showed improvement over last year's playing. While his style of playing did not meet the approval of some, it at least kept the games from developing into cross tag. More than once his opponent realized that he was up against a hard farmer as well as a basket-ball player. Cherry has a tendency to leave his man, but this defect was more than
Page one hundred and thirty-six
offset by his own ability to cage the ball. Excepting the Washington and Lee game, he threw about as many goals as his opponents, and was at home when the other side wanted to rough it up.
Shag Thome was the find of the season. While a member of the Freshman team last year he played a good game, but gave no evidences of such a brilliant season ahead. This year he developed from the start, was instrumental in the victory of the Sophomores, and landed a place on the varsity as one of the best guards seen at Trinity for some time. Thorne made an excellent running mate for Captain Briim, and more than one game has been featured by their defensive work. It was a rare thing for his forward to throw over three goals in a game.
Caleb W. White, better known as C. White, held the other forward position, and he played it for all there was in it. He is an exceptionally fast man in getting down the field, passes accurately and is a good goal shot. His chief virtue lies in the fact that he has never been known to lose his temper, nor hold any malice against the referee. White is not a new man in the game by any means, as he won his letter in basket-ball last season, and has been a member of the squad during all four years of his college course. He has scored his full share of field goals in the twenty games of the season.
Paul Neal played center for the Freshman team last year, and showed such marked improvement in the class series this year that Coach Brinn picked him for the position of sub-center on the varsity. Neal is the biggest man on the team, and uses his weight and height very well. He has played a good game whenever given the opportunity. This was noticeable at Charlotte, where he scored five field goals and won the game.
Wooten was a member of the fast Sophomore team of this year, and by excellent work in the class game series, he won a place as sub-guard, second only to the notables, Brinn and Thorne. He took part in several games during the past season, always giving a good account of himself.
McKinnon, the star forward of last year's champion class team, showed up well in practice this year, and was selected to sub for Siler and White. He took part in only a few games, but made good all his opportunities, especially in the first Durham Y. M. C. A. game, when he scored three goals on big "Jennie Brinn."

The Season
Even before the last echoes of tennis had tiled away, the basket-ball season was in full swing. Practice began about the loth of October. Three old men \vere out for the team: Brinn, Cherry, and White, Hedrick being ineligible by the four-year rule. These, together with the class stars of last year and the new material, made up a good squad of fifty men. Daily practice followed.
After the class teams were picked and put through a short practice, the class series of twelve games were played. These games were interesting to the specta- tors as well as serving the purpose of helping the coach to select the squad. It is singular to note that four men of the champion Sophomore class team were picked for the varsity: Siler, forward: Thorne, guard; Neal, sub-center; Wooten, sub- guard. White, Brinn and Cherry filled the other positions.
The first game was with the Durham Y. M. C. A. on their court, and was won by them, score 28-13. This was due to the lack of team work on the part of Trinity, owing to the absence of Captain Brinn. Soon after this game the team left for a week's trip through the State, Asheville, Charlotte and Wofford being played on successive days. Our team was successful in three of the five games played.
Practice was resumed immediately after the holidays, and it was not long before Trinity took sweet revenge for their first defeat by turning the tables on the local Y. M. C. A., 28-25. Elon was taken on next as a means of perfecting our team-work. The score, 46-12, does not show the complete walkover, as the second half was played mostly by our substitutes. Whatever of conceit our team may have gotten from this game was quickly dispelled when they met the huslcv Washington and I.ee team after an all-night trip. Cherry said that the score in this game was 90-15. Next evening saw Trinity still in Lexington, this time pitted against V. M. I. ; however, they gave a better account of themselves, the final score being 28-10. Hurrying on to Virginia, they reached Charlottesville by a delayed train, rushed on the floor, and although beaten, they left the im pression that they had been there. At Georgetown, our team played their best game of the trip, losing after an uphill fight by the score of 31-22. While m Washington, our old enemy. Catholic University, again defeated us, this time in basket-ball, by the score of 5^-27, and home our boys came.
Emory and Henry, of ^^rginia, after defeating all the other teams in this State, stopped over for a game, but went away without it. The score was 36-15, and that, too, after they had just beaten Wake Forest on their home floor. The following week the team, now encouraged once more, went over to Raleigh and took the best end of a football-basket-ball game against A. & M. Although the score was close and hard fought, 22-18. nothing but the best of feelings prevailed. We took great delight in beating Wake Forest in the next game by the over- whelming score of 25-10. They came over with Holden and company, Carolina's

scalp hanging from their beks, and actually expecting to win, but they were doomed to go back to the forest without scoring a single field goal. The followmg week we played a return game at Wake Forest, winning by a close score of 16-15, and securing the distinction of being the only North Carolina team which ever defeated Wake Forest on their home floor. V. P. I. was next taken in without much exertion on our part, 23-16. The season ended in triumph for Trinity when our team overwhelmingly defeated A. & M. for the second time, by the score of 32-14. This ended the season, leaving Trinity champion of North and South Carolina.

The Season
The season of 1911-12 witnessed Trinity's first attempt to put out a track team, and although the record of its members is not unusually good, some credit is due them for overcoming the inertia of the idea. To Dr. Frank C. Brown, the originator of the annual relay race, goes considerable credit for the establish- ment of the track team. Captain R. T. Lucas and Manager H. M. Ratcliffe deserve proportional share of praise for untiring efforts in behalf of the team.
The first part of the year saw the candidates, about sixty in number, training daily for the field day which was to be held in April. After a somewhat brief and irregular training, the teams representing the four undergraduate classes met in the Hanes Athletic Park for the annual field day, this time on the tenth of April. The fact that the class of 1914 won the cup with a margin of ten points over their nearest opponents, the Freshmen, is of little consequence. But the real good was derived from the great desire for track athletics which sprang up, as well as from the fact that it afforded a means of picking the varsity squad. The following men were chosen: Distance runners, R. L. Brown, T. H. Anderson and W. Ira Bost; for middle distance, Crowell, Whitesides, Cordle and Greene; for sprints and hurdles, Lucas, Sutton and Kanipe ; high and broad jumps, Spence, Johnson and F. B. Brown; Siler and Barringer, weight throwers; Daniel Lane, pole vault. This team was chosen to represent the college in the meet at Raleigh. Although there were grunts of disapproval and criticism of the hard-working captain and manager, the team went down and managed to get back, bringing with them four perfectly good points which they had won while down there.
The infant Trinity track team left for Raleigh one fine April morning, bearing with them high hopes and good wishes of those left behind. The meet was scheduled to be held in the athletic park at A. & M. At 3 :30 that evening the teams representing the University, Wake Forest, A. & M., Davidson, Trinity, Guilford and Elon, were ready for the fight. Our athletes may have been a little shaky perhaps, this being their first inter-collegiate meet, but then, too, they were pitted against the best in the State, and their record of four points is not so bad as it seems at first glance. In the first race, Lucas and Sutton were pitted against the final winners of the 100-yard dash, and accordingly failed to make places in the final heat. Anderson ran the mile against some class, but then he crossed the line ahead of the winner, if we omit the fact that he was a lap behind. Siler, however, won fourth place in the high hurdles, giving Trinity her first point. Kanipe, the tall Freshman, won his heat in the preliminaries and added another point to our total by capturing fourth place in the finals of the 220-yard dash. "Bo-Peep" Barringer was also in the limelight. Although he had worked four hard years on the basket-ball court in vain, he now came forward in the shot-put and added two other points to his team, which was already the proud possessor of two. This ended the meet as far as Trinity was concerned.

Junior Relay Team, Winners Annual Race, 1912
A Short Account of the Relay Race
The preliminary races were held on the Circle, and were featured by the work of Barrett, of the Freshmen, R. L,. Brown, of the Sophomores, and F. F. Thomson, of the Juniors, whose respective records for the mile were : 5 :20, 5:21, and 5 -.zj.
The regular race, as usual, began out in the country and ended at the flag- pole, after two laps of the track had been circled. The Juniors, who proved to be the final winners, got a rather poor start, but took the lead in the fourth mile by Whiteside's great run, losing it on the very next mile, however, to the Sopho- mores, who held it up to the ninth course. The Juniors were put in striking distance of the leaders by Secrest, who overcame an overwhelming lead held by the Sophomores at the beginning of the ninth mile. He handed the note to Cordle, a scarce twenty-five yards behind Downey, of the Sophomores, who had already romped away for the final lap. The end was spectacular. Cordle, judging his reserve to a nicety, passed Downey in the last few rods and won the race by a scant ten yards. This is the second time that the class of 1914 has won the annual relay.

Gymnasium Exhibition
Cap. Card and a pickeil team of his best gymnasts gave a public exhibition in the Angier Duke Gymnasium one night last fall. This was the first gymnastic exhibition which had been held at this college for some time, and naturally a large crowd was on hand to witness the novel performance of the acrobats. As this was the only chance which presented itself for the men to display their prowess along this line, it was made a gala occasion, and one which was enjoyed very much by the goodly throng which had gathered to see the results of Director Card's instruction.
The work was creditable, some men being very proficient on the horizontal and parallel bars and also on the flying rings and the mat. Cooke, Spence and Boyd showed up well for the college, while White, a student at the Park School, proved himself an adept at almost every stunt. Boyd and Downey pulled ofif a skilful bout with the foils, and Director W. W. Card gave a clever exhibition with Indian clubs. McLean and Cobbs vied with each other in a couple of freak races, both of which were won by the former.
The most amusing part of the program was rendered by four Seniors, who, forgetting the dignity of their position, acted the part of clowns for the amusement of the assembled public. Thompson, Knott, Marr and Ratcliffe, with their painted faces and outlandish costumes, filled the intermissions with their comic stunts. Monk Knott, who later accompanied the Glee Club in the capacit\- of a reader and jester, easily carried ofif the laurels in this lighter line.
The performance was free to the public, who took advantage of tliis fact to attend in large numbers. The program was of suitable length and well rendered. Director Card deserves credit for the excellent showing of his team.

Baseball Season
A detailed review of the baseball season of 191 2 is unnecessary. To those who were here and witnessd it. enough has been said, but to those who saw only reports, let us say that it was hard luck. At the very outset of the season, the team was greatly handicapped by the loss of Captain "Willie" Bundy, who was ruled off under the conditions of the S. I. A. A. Although he was succeeded by an able man and player, yet a gap was left at third which was never satisfactorily filled.
Practice began as usual, about the first of February, and a large squad reported for practice. But these were mostly new men, and herein lies the reason for Trinity's poor showing. No team can hope to win with recruits playing against veterans, and this was the case at Trinity during the season of 1912. When the squad was picked, it was evident that there was a dearth of good pitchers— Ivey had recently undergone an operation for appendicitis, and Godfrey was pursued by his same weak back and hard luck. In spite of all these draw- backs, however, Trinity started out as usual by winning the first few games, and even made an equal showing with most of the Northern teams. As time passed, however, it was seen that our team was far below the standard. For the first time in the history of the two institutions, the Park School defeated the college, in a decidedly close game. On top of this, our old enemy, Wake Forest, took a couple of games, although we came back strong at Raleigh, defeating them in a game which they had confidently expected to win. After two games with the University of Georgia, one of which was a farce, the team left for the memor- able Northern tour. The account of this trip was lost in Nero's fire : it suffices to say that we won three out of the six played on the road. This trip ended the season, as well as Manager Sheppard's worry and cares.

'_J^
Personal Mention
"Tommy" Thompson, Trinity's prize stick artist, was a most suitable man to captain last year's team. Recognized as one of the best second-basemen in the State, he played his steady, consistent game. He was fast and sure in the field and at the top in hitting. "Tommy" has a most disconcerting habit of slouching up to the plate and casually meeting one on the nose for three bases. The scarcity of knots in the fence has robbed him of many a home-run. During the past three seasons he has proved an invaluable man on the diamond.
"Kid" Anderson, by his unlimited pep and consistent hitting and fielding, well deserves the place he won as All-Southern short-stop. Nothing pleases him better than to snatch one from "Tommy" after a dash across half the diamond. "Kid" is fast and has no fear of the error column as is shown by the amount of ground he covers and the difficult chances for which he is always looking. Having made the team in his Freshman year, he knows baseball thoroughly and will fill well his place as captain of this season's team.
"Runt" Foushee is little, but about as loud as the law will allow. Left field includes a rather large tract of land for a small man, but that never bothered "Runt." He seems too fast for his territory and insists on paying calls on his neighbor's flies. "Runt" is the first man up and consequently the first man on. If the pitcher will not walk him, he will get a hit. "Runt" loves the game as is shown by his peculiar habit of shaking his head and talking to the balls as they come over.
Spence is built for a center-fielder. He is a hundred-yard man and always manages to reach the spot where he is needed with time to spare. Whether it is to back up a play or make one on his own account, he is always on the job. He is great on going up after them, sometimes forgetting to come back down. Since he is a good infielder, as well as outfielder, and manages to get away with his share of the hits, he makes the team a good man.
"Shag" Thompson was the Freshman wonder of last year. Ask him what he plays and he will tell you "Baseball," and be about right about it. Put him in the field and he will eat up everything in sight. Tell him to go across the diamond and arrange himself behind the bat and he is equally at home. He is also a good hitter, and his overflow of pep keeps an uproar going resembling an orphan asylum.
"Dave" Fuller insisted that he did not mind displaying his limbs and conse- quently became a hard and consistent worker. He surprised his friends with his ability to land on the ball and started the season as one of the leaders with the willow. Dave is built rather high ofif the ground, but he is always able to reach low enough to scoop them up or soar high enough to flag them down. He makes it the rule to let nothing get by first base.
Page one hundred and fifty-three
"Cale" Wliite is a liard worker and has developed into quite a valuable man. He circulates freely around third and generally manages to head off anything that starts that way. His weakness, however, lies in his love of glad tidings. Once, upon getting a hit, he stopped to publish the news and was thrown out at first.
"June" Rose is a steady worker and gives a man very little chance for a hit in right field. At the bat he also shines. Although he doesn't hit them every time, he at least displays a circular wind-up which is most graceful and pleasing, especially if he pauses long enough to rap out a neat single or lead the poor pitcher astray into giving four wide ones. "June" worked hard for his "T" and won it.
"Tubby" McClain has a remarkable command of English. He loves to broad- en out behind the plate, paw the dirt like a restless horse, and speak in endearing terms to the luckless batter. "Tubby" hits them occasionally and then the circus begins. To see the brave lad lay back his ears and stretch out for first is worth the price of any game. But "Tubby" is no joke. Though countless men romp home, he never loses that dignity which always characterizes his portly form.
"Colt" Godfrey knows how to mix them up. He does not loaf, but goes into a game with a jump which peps up the team and gives the winning spirit. He is great on bluffing and pulling off trick plays. It was largely due to this head work of his that he was our first pitcher for the season. Even at the plate he puts up a good show. Although his hits are rather scattered, he strikes a pose that quite often gives him a free ride to first.
"Dina" Kanipe, otherwise known as The Village Blacksmith, was one of the season's finds. Nobody thought that old "Dina," with his chorus girl windup, was really a pitcher, but he was put in to fill out. By the time he had pitched through a game or two, however, the concensus of opinion changed and Snipe was hailed as one of our mainstays. He has steam, plenty of it, and knows how to use his head. And, too, he doesn't mind slamming out one occasionally just to show a little two-twenty form.
W. R. Ivey opened up his varsity career when he had been out of the hospital only six weeks, but this did not seem to affect him, judging from the high grade of ball he pitched. "Doc" was a spitball artist, and this, together with his steam, made him a formidable player to serve in the capacity of second pitcher during the season of 191 2. His most notable performance perhaps came in the Guilford game at Greensboro, when he relieved Godfrey with men on bases, and held the team hitless for the remaining four innings. He also has the distinction of winning two of the three games which our team won on the Northern trip.
"Bush" Boshamer has the tresses of a poet and the arm of a pitcher. He showed that he could pitch ball early in the season and failed to contradict himself later on. He won his games, that is, all but a few, and these could be easily explained by the great Bushwanger himself. All that "Bush" wanted was a tryout for his salary wing and he promised to do the rest. The beauty about it was that he generally did it.
Page one hundred and fifty-four
John McCrary Thomson of captain at the beginning found that Bnndy wonld not not let the responsibility af the least, as his record of valuable player, batting ually cleaning the sacks, the "old ginge," that element winning of games. His field means, but it falls into the with his hitting. His most the first Amherst game, hits off Vernon, in the plate.
Sheppard was unfortunate in his team, but tin- team, on the other hand, was indeed fortunate in its manager. He served his apprenticeship as assistant manager during the preceding year, and was somewhat fitted for the strenuous task of being manager during the season of 1911-12. His schedule called for a total number of 28 games, 17 of which were played on the home grounds. This was indeed a good schedule, from the spectator's as well as the player's standpoint. Con- trary to the usual custom, a Northern trip was arranged, which included Virginia, Maryland, and Washington. D. C. The team returned from the Northern trip on May 7th, where they closed the season in Richmond l)y defeating Randolph-Macon, 3-2, in a well-played game.
The Men Who Made the Team
Dr. Merle T. Adkins coached the team fur the fourth consecutive season, and did well with the ma- terial at hand. The fact that Trinity made a poor record is by no means an indication that Coach Adkins' services were not of the highest order. "Doc" hates to lose as bad as the lowliest rooter, and accordingly he exerts every effort of generalship to see the most runs on Trinity's side of the ledger. Besides being a pro- fessional baseball player and coach. Dr. Adkins is a gentleman, and has a good influence upon his squad in other things besides baseball.

The Outlook for 1913
It is a conservative statement to say that the prospects are better this year than they have been since the days of "Big Bob" Gantt, the West brothers, "Tommy" Suiter and "Chat" Bivins. We not only have most of the old men back again, but also the best of last year's Park School team are out for practice. As the Chanticleer goes to press, there are about sixty men on the squad, of whom half are outfielders, and the other half are infielders and batteries. In Knight and Fitzgerald, we have two of the best college pitchers in the State, and with Godfrey and Kanipe showing their usual form, there should be no concern about the pitching staff. IMaddox, of 191 1 fame, McLean, of last year's varsity, and Bond, of the Yannigans, are out for the receiving position. For infielders there are John Thompson, of last year's varsity, "Captain Kid" Anderson, of three years' college experience, and White, of last year's team. In addition to these, there are a lot of other aspirants capering about the infield in practice, namely: North, Gill, Shore, Rone, Baird, Patterson, Siler and Carver. In the outfield there are Spence, of last year's team, and Litchfield, of Park School fame. There are also numbers of new men too numerous to mention trying for some position in the outfield.
The withdrawal from the S. I. A. A., whether or not a good step from every standpoint, certainly eliminates many of the conditions which have defeated Trinity in the past.
With the diamond in good shape, and Doc. Adkins once more on the job, we pray for good weather and look forward to a banner -^ear in baseball.

ACT I
Scene I. Faculty room. The day before commencement. Prex Notzomani has just called the meeting to order.
Prex Notz (Nervously fumbling at his handkerchief) — Gentlemen, we have before our attention a very serious matter; namely, that of passing upon the gymnasium absences of two young gentlemen. Their names are jMerrill —
All — The good student.
Prex Notz (Continuing) — Yes, Merrill and Cutter. Tomorrow is commence- ment day, and upon the decision of this meeting rests their hope of graduation. As members of the faculty in this college, it behooves us to take immediate steps. Is there any discussion ?
Dr. B. iUmph! Umph! Finally coughs nervously tzvice) — Mr. President, this idea of keeping a fine scholar from his degree merely by reason of a few absences from the gymnasium is all tommyrot, aw ! there's nothing to it. The measure is too drastic; yes, entirely too drastic. (He snorts once and resumes his scat).
All (Confused murmur) — Surely, surely, we cannot hold him back on this account.
Scene n. Same room. Enter Ghost of '98 and assume stand in front of Prex. Notzomani.
Ghost of 'q8 (In squeaking tones) — Alas, the good old days are no more. Back in '98 no one was graduated who was not a good athlete as well as a brilliant scholar. I fear that under the present administration the fine old college of my boyhood has lost its ancient dignity and prestige. (Vanishes).
The Gink (Forgetting to address the chair in his excitement) — ^We always listen to reason up there in Canada. And in addition to fishing in the summer, we are wont to take good advice, especially that given by such an engaging personality as the one we have just seen. Now, I wouldn't have you to think for a moment that I am superstitious, or that the people in Canada are, either, but I move that the gentlemen's absences be not excused.
Page one hundred and seventy-five
B. I. Stan. (Rising cautiously, speaks i>i a soft voice) — Gentlemen, it would be well to look into this matter. He has a poor chapel record.
B. L. //'. (Brusquely) — That there spook's right, accordin' to my way o' thinking.
Cap. Hard — You see, it's this way: A man needs a strong body as well as a bright mind. But down at my gym I give special exercises for the head also. Not that the spook has anything to do with my decision, but just because Merrill has been persistently cutting my gym. I second the motion of Prof. Forsooth. Whv, when I was at Harvard, you know — (Called to order. He sits down).
(I'otc taken; motion carried not to e.vcnse absences of Doc. Merrill. Matter of Jim Cutter's absences taken up).
Pre.v Not:: — Before passing upon the absences of Mr. A. J. Cutter, I wish to hear from the ditYerent departments of the college concerning the gentleman's record.
E. Will M. — Old Cutter's a pretty fair student. He made 99 on my German last year, but he doesn't work over six hours a day for me. If he would apply himself, he would be a good student.
Dr. Little P. (Rises hurriedly and begins in a timid manner) — Mr. President, I was expecting something like this. But in regard to Mr. Cutter (you know I mark mathematically correct, and do not give a good grade just because one happens to be a good fellow) I could give the gentleman only 89 11-47 on my Greek Literature. I think, however, that Socrates gave Alcibiades even less than that.
Dr. Jeff B. — Ha ! ha ! ha ! The young gentleman seems to be 'in facultatis potestate,' but I am pleased to report that he does well on my Latin \'. Yes. he has a good Ciceronian vocabulary, ha ! ha ! ha !
Prof. Mutt H. — Oh, Arthur, I'd hardly say that. I only gave him 84 on Catullus, and I'm sure that he could not tell today where the temple of Jupiter Stator stood.
Cap. Hard — I used to know this man's father when I played centre-field for old Trinity in '98. He was a fine fellow, and so is the boy for that matter. How my heart swelled with pride when he tipped his hat to me the other day with a cheerful 'Good evening, Professor.' I'm going to make all these fellows call me "Professor' next year. He has been working hard of late and only has twenty absences now, which were caused by the fact that he spent most of his first three years to pay expenses. I move that he be allowed to make these up before tomorrow, at the rate of two per hour.
I'ote taken: motion carried.
Pre.v Note. — Before we part for the last time of this scholastic year, I wish to warn you that the glorious past and illustrious future of this institu-t-io-n
Page one hundred and .';e7'e}>ly-six
(Txpical Roosn'cltiaii _t;r/;/.) rests upon your shoulders. (Another grin). Do not prove a false support.
ACT II
Scene i. Gyiiiiiasimu. That night. Enter Jim Cutter.
Jim Cutter (Soliloquy) — Let's see, I have twenty absences to make up ; this means work until 4:30 in the morning. (Puts down watch and goes to ivork). By George! (Brilliant idea strikes him). I don't have to work, there's no one watching me. Why not take a nap on one of these mats ! No, the faculty is just, they have allowed me this opportunity to graduate ; so I'll play the man and work till dawn, if it kills me. After all, 'Honesty is the best policy,' just like Nero said. (Hearing a noise at the door). Who's there?
Merrill (Without) — It's Merrill, nobody but Doc. Merrill. I have come to work of my gym. absences also.
Cutter opens the door, Merrill enters with a suspicions looking projection on the hip, goes back to Cap Hard's office and takes dozen book of absences. Cutter resumes his work on the punching bag. . . . O. T., returning from the floiver house, sees light in gymnasium and steals in the back door by means of his skeleton kev and comes upon Merrill /;; the act of marking off his absences.
O. T. — I'll swear, Doc, I didn't know you'd do anything like that. Doc Maylor wouldn't even do such a thing. I'll report you to D. W. Nuisance in the morning.
Merrill — Look here, O. T., you don't have to report me ; it would ruin me if \-ou did. And by the way (Lowering his voice and gently tapping the bottle zvith his hand), I've got some good old corn here that came all the way from Bryson City. Forget about this and we will pull of? a big one.
O. T. — That's right. I don't know what part of Africa that there place is in, but I likes that stuff good as anybody do. I don't have to report what I don't see, anyway, do I, Doc ? (They go out. Merrill returns to his room, and O. T. rather unsteadily continues his rounds, muttering to himself) I'll just be durned if they won't have to put out that light up there in Willard's room.
Scene n. Gymnasium.
Cutter — ^I'm so tired, I wonder what time it is. (Looks at his zuatcli). Four o'clock. Only one more absence, and then I can take my diploma home to mother, and she will be proud of her son. The old world is not so bad, after all. How pretty it looks over in the east. Before another daybreak I will have my degree. I feel mighty weak. (Faints from the long exertion, trips on the scattered dumb clubs, head hitting iron shot, expires with fractured skull).

ScBNfi III. Merrill's room. Five o'clock. Merrill, unable to sleep, is talking feverishly to himself.
Merrill — What a fool I am ; I neglected to replace the book where it belongs. What if it is found misplaced with my absences marked off. (Gets up, determined to go down and put it up. O. T. rushes in breathlessly).
O. T. — Good G ! Doc, that there fool down yonder has killed himself. I
found him just as I was fixing to cut off the lights and go home. They'll want to know how it came about, too, and what that broken bottle is doing there, and book lying open on the table.
Merrill (A light beaming on his cruel features) — Dead men tell no tales. I've got an idea; listen ! (Whispers a few minutes).
0. T. — That's right, we'll go over together and tell Mr. Nuisance just how it happened. That's the best we can do, ain't it. Doc ?
ACT III
Scene i. The college office. Nine o'clock. O. T. and Merrill reporting to Nuisance hoiv the catastrophe happened.
Merrill — Cutter has been desperate for the last few days over the fact that he wouldn't be able to graduate on account of some twenty gym absences, and last night he came by my room intoxicated, on his way to the gym to mark oft' his absences. This is all I know.
0. r.— That's right.
D. Nuisance — Have you any idea how he met his death, Mr. Merrill?
Merrill (Glibly) — I am not sure, but I suppose that while drunk he took the insane notion of doing some stunt, and a disastrous fall resulted.
0. r.— That's right.
D. Nuisance (Jotting down the facts) — Thank you, Mr. Merrill.
Scene II. Memorial Hall, graduating e.vercises going o)i. Diplo)nas have been presented, and honors are about to be awarded.
Prex Nots — Young gentlemen, today you are going out to face the world. It is a cold world and will not take you by the hand merely because you have a diploma there. You will have to show them. But we, the faculty of this noble institution of learning, felicitate ourselves upon this excellent class of graduates. You can and you will show them. Under the leadership of your valedictorian, Mr. Merrill, an error regarding whose record we have happily corrected this morning, vou will go forth to fight the battles of life, to make good your opportunities, that by and by you may reflect honor and glory on the college of your boyhood days. My blessings go with you. (Grins and changes handkerchief from one pocket to the other).

Chorus of Co-cds:
"God, our Father, hear our voices.
Listen to our cry ; Bless the college of our boyhood,
May it never die ! "
Scene; hi. Merrill's room. Same night.
Merrill (Alone) — Now, I have played well my part.
Remorse — Yes, but young Jim Cutter lies dead, accused of your crime.
Merrill — I will go home in triumph, bearing my diploma and the valedictory.
Remorse — And kiss your pure, sweet, patient Mother with lips polluted by ignominious falsehood.
Merrill — I am proud of my success.
Remorse — Success, did you say? What is success? It is but the gilded side of failure. That which we have striven for, when attained no longer seems attractive.
Merrill — And I will tell father of my fine work and my record with the faculty.
Remorse — But what of the lie you have lived and the bluiif you have run?
Merrill — Away, grim spirit, away, I say. Life is nothing but one huge bluff after all.
O. T. euts off the lights.

The Lights on the Heights
H. E. Spence
Oh, where are you hastening, children, With your dear little tender feet?
Will you leave your toys
And your childish joys And play -town's pleasant street? Will you follow the gleam of the will-o'-wisp
That the mountain heights enfold? Oh, the lights on the heights are pretty.
But the lights on the heights are cold.
Oh, whither youth and maiden, Oh whither so fast away ?
Will you leave the gleams
Of a lover's dreams And the flowery fields of May? Will climb to the end of the rainbow
In search for the pot of gold ? Oh, the lights on the heights are brilliant.
But the lights on the heights are cold.
Oh, weary of earth and careworn, Will you go on the endless quest?
Will you leave your home
On the road to roam That leads to the mountain's crest? Fame's castle doors are bolted
And open but to the bold ; Oh the lights on the heights are luring.
But the lights on the heights are cold.
Oh, hard is the way and weary That leads to the mountain-heights,
And the way is strown
With bleaching bone Of many a gallant knight; While the aged few that have reached the heights
Will tell you as I have told, That the lights on the heights are fickle,
And the lights on the heights are cold.

3m A Letter
NeuESBURG. January i, 3102. To King TuaoDORfi XXII. Your Most Royal Highness:
Knowing your interest in science and in history, I am presuming to indite to you, the beloved Bull-Moose, King of America, this letter, wherein I shall record the results of the archeological work recently carried on at the ancient town of Durham.
As your Majesty knows, this town was overwhelmed by the eruption of Mount Dukemixturus in the twentieth century; and the site of it was not again discovered until 3096. In 3097 archeologists began digging in the vicinity of Durham, but they were stopped by the escape of the terrific fumes of a new gas which was called the "tobacciosus gas."
Last year, however, I decided to take up this work on my own account, and in order to escape those deadly gases I began my excavations at about a mile's distance from the town proper.
For a time it seemed that my efforts were to be in vain : but at length, after a month's hard work, one of my workmen struck something solid. I at once set all my men to work at that spot. Soon, under their hearty eft'orts, a large, double arch constructed of iron was unearthed. This had evidently served at one time as a gate. On it were inscribed the following letters : 'ErE-uditio Religio. These words, as translated by Professor Benbig, the eminent authority on the earlier languages, mean : "Here died religion."
This inscription having aroused our enthusiasm to an extremely high pitch. Doctor Benbig and I renewed our work with increased interest, hoping to come across still further inscriptions which might throw light upon the ancient people of the twentieth century.
Our hope was not in vain. Not far from the gate-way we found a piece of paper, still well preserved by the volcanic ash, on which was inscribed : Shoot a Jit. This phrase is rather hard to translate. The "jit" was a bird of the "dough" class, evidently. This "dough" class of birds is divided into the "jits," the "bits," and the "bucks." To "shoot a jit" meant to try to gain money, since the jit had a definite money value.
After a great deal more excavating, my workmen came upon a road-bed, which lay only a short distance from the gate just mentioned. This road clearly proves the theory of Professor L. Erned, who asserts that the people of the twentieth century wore steel shoes. This new-found road was made of sharp rocks of such size that none but steel shoes might walk on it and go unharmed.
But I will not detain you and disturb your Majesty's mind with these minor details any longer. I know that your Majesty is at heart inclined to love the study of beautiful languages, and so, without telling of our wonderful discoveries
Page one hundred and eighty-one
mi0^
of fossilized people — of men in the garb of professors, but having stone heads — without telling of the finding of the many curions buildings and queer things ; without doing this. I shall at once tell of the inspiring inscriptions which we found on the interior walls of a fossil building called in the old tongue, "The Inn."
The first inscription which Doctor Benbig and I found in this building was
the following: R.sbbit W Pulled One Off on Us This Afternoon and
Shot a Quiz to Our Systems. It was only after considerable labor that we were able to deduce the meaning of this beautiful passage. Let us take it up in detail. The word "Rabbit" is evidently equivalent to the super-ancient Hebrew word "Rabbi," meaning doctor or professor. The ne.xt word, of which three letters are missing, is apparently the "Rabbit's" name. The phrase "pulled one ofif on us" is probably an euphemistic rendering of the old words for "undressed us." "Shot us a quiz," or "shot a quiz to our systems," means gave us a shozver-bath.
The entire reading then would be: "Rabbit W undressed us and gave us
a shower-bath." How expressive ! How euphemistic ! How modest are those words !
The next inscription of any importance was this : Doctor B is a
HoT-AiR Spieler. This inscription seems to have been an epitaph, meaning that
Doctor B discoursed mellifluously upon various disconnected topics.
"Hot-air spieler" is a term of aflfection frequently applied to professors.
Near this epitaph just spoken of was this : Chocolottie, Good Cones Whole Time. The meaning of this passage has not yet been correctly deciphered. The word "chocalottie" is an absolute mystery ; "good cones" seems to imply a certain delicious and enjoyable coolness ; but that is as far as the translators of the sentence have gone. The phrase "whole time" apparently means "eternally" or "everlasting," but we have as yet obtained no translation which will exactly explain it.
In what had evidently been a dining hall in this same old building my workmen found carved on a piece of glass with a diamond, the following: Shoot the Bull — Everybody's Doin' It! The meaning of "shoot the bull" is hard to determine, since it had so many applications ; but in the present case Dr. Benbig and I decided that it must apply to etiquette, and must be an euphonious expression for "pass the meat." On investigation, we found that this expression had many variations, for example, "sling the hash," "toss the heifer," and "start the calf a'walking." The last phrase of the inscription is one often found but never fully explained or understood. "Everybody's doin' it!" But doing what? That is the question which remains unsolved ! Professor Liebig is of the opinion that they were doing the turkey trot, as he is pleased to call it ; but the professor does not take the trouble to explain just what the turkey trot is. Some light was thrown upon this subject, however, when one of our men discovered another inscription in the same building. This one read : I'm the Guy that Put the
Page one hundred and eighty-two
&^'
Turk in Turkey! Professor Liebig is now at work on this clue, and hopes before long to be able to prove some of his previous assertions.
The most beautiful and impressive thing that we found was the following elegant phrase : Dean Hunt — Rearin' to Go ! What a model of terseness that is ! What a picture is presented to the mind ! How clearly one can see rising before him the dignified figure of a stately dean, striding along at a rapid, heroic pace, moving as swiftly and as gracefully as Apollo himself ! Indeed, the language of these people was rich in descriptive powers and elegance of wording. What a model of good language is that description !
The last of our discoveries. Your Royal Highness, King Theodore, was the simple but expressive word "Scoop." It seems that this was a short way of expressing the thought that is contained in their more verbose expression: Cut the Comedy, which we also found. The meaning of these words is to "stop."
In view of these discoveries, may your majesty be now pleased to send out some of your court scientists to assist us in this great work. Your most humble servant,
Hubert Juniper.

Campus Singing
N. I. White
The boj's will be for melody tonight, For every time the twilight witchery Transforms yon huge, electric-lighted mill Into a mystic, olden battlement, And every time the ball team wins a game, And atmosphere is warm, and grass is dry. And there are early stars for audience — The boys will be for music.
Supper done, They sprawl in careless fashion on the grass ; Some talk there is of profs and chorus shows, And jokes both rank and innocent, and then A silent session, till a veteran singer Who prides himself in secret on his voice. Suggests, "Let's have a little harmony," And so the campus chorus has the floor :
We're tenting tonight on the old camp-ground, In a perfect storm of tenor and of base ;
Dinah don't you go doivn the Ohio.
The lead is not progressive, and the tenor sets the pace.
Meet vie tonight in Dreamland;
Don't yon hear the steamboat blozv? Carry me back to Old Virginia;
Dotvn ivhere the cotton blossoms groiv.
On my arms her light hand rested,
Rested light as oceam foam; O my darling Nellie Gray ; they have taken her aivay,
And I'll never see — .1/v Old Kentucky Home.
So all the campus feels the spell of song.
Another chorus sings another tune,
A yodel song drifts backward from a group
Far out beyond the campus, till at length
The energy of singing is consumed.
The groups break up in ones and twos and threes ;
Some seek their books, and others go to town,
And some to see a lady at the Shack.

BELBOY LECTURES
QUILL CLUB
REORGANIZES
Exposes Cliooseling, Frissing and
Grafting — Palmistry and
Black Arts Elucidated.
Prof. Francisa Leanardo da Vinci y Basilisca Belboy, Chief Crook to His La- mented Majesty. Leopold of Belgium, for years professor and extension Lecturer in the Chair of Cunning, at the Techno- logical Institute of Timbuctoo. and for- mer Secretary of Grafting inider Sahib Nihil Pasha, lectured at the C. O. D. Hall last evening to a large and apprecia- tive audience on a special invitation tendered to him by the High Muckety Muck of the Lecture Committee.
The object of the lecture was to make money. The subject of the lecture was the same, preceded by "How." This sub- ject was treated in detail, many examples being given. At the request of the com- mittee, his principles were applied so as to be of benefit to college students.
Handwriting was the next subject taken up. The speaker showed how handwriting must be legible to be of service on examinations, ambiguity per- mitted. He gave numerous character readings from handwriting. If. for in- stance, a student persists in writing il- legibly, even on subjects with which he is acquainted, the conclusion may be reached that he cannot write well, vice versa, vers vica. When a theme is begun unwittingly with "My Deareet Hersey," it is fair to conclude that the writer is of an emotional character, and when ; history quiz has "Darling Lap" for a su perscription, its writer may be passed upon as a hopeless imbecile.
The next indecent exposure of the speaker was a method of matriculating for nothing practised by the students at Ryjkavik Theological Seminary. During the rush at the registrar's window, the crook passes an unsigned check on the registrar and gets a receipt. The regis- trar, having stooped to folly, learns too late that men betray.
In his discourse on chooseling, the speaker dwelt on money making schemes. One of the best instances cited by the speaker was the practice of erasing the prices on books hv the Book Room in the Delhi College of Fine Arts. This was done, of course, to prevent mental an- guish on the part of students. Books must be smuggled into this institution,
Radical Change in the Constitu- tion of Journalistic Club.
At a recent meeting of the Quill Club, an organization of the newspaper re- porters of Trinity College, tlie officers were elected for "the approaching terra. The following men were elected to office: President, Mr. Wright A. Lott ; Vice-President, R. E. Porter; Secretary- Treasurer, Mr. O. I. Scribble.
During this meeting an important and long-needed change was incorporated into the constitution of the Quill Club. This amendment of the constitution pro- vides for adding the words "and then some," in brackets, after the club's motto. The motto of the club will then read: ■'All the News That's Fit to Print (And Then SomeK
The committee on obtaining papers for correspondents reported that it had obtained the following new papers for the society, for which it was necessary to obtain correspondents: The Airlie Blade, The Funston Free Lance, The Carv Democrat and the Brassfield Week- ly Citizen. The Spray Express and the Podunk Daily Observer have not yet been heard from.

and an additional ten to fifty cents added to bear the risk. Hence, prices must be raised, and the list price effaced. Again, he cited the example of the Ewthanasian Literary Society at Samarcand, which levies a tax for commencement on all those in the city, whether they rrtay be members or not, and the most ridiculous part of all, this society has the custom and. to a western mind, unjustifiable practice of charging both a fee for en- trance, and a second fee for getting out. This Oriental sense of justice, the speak- er said, was rapidly succumbing with the advance of civilization. The Buddhist Ministerials, he said, are responsible for the injustice.
After his open lecture, he gave a lec- ture to men only — faculty excluded — on the occult art of cutting Gym. The speaker asked that the principles here outlined be kept secret, as they were very valuable, and were so abstruse as not to be readily understood by the com- mon populace.
Thursday night, in the beautiful Ep- worth Hall, the preliminary for the com- ing debate with Wake Forest College took place. A large number of men took part in the contest, and one woman. Miss Milly FIuous. took part in the speaking. The'men who won places for the debate against Wake Forest were Messrs. I. B. fawkatifif and L. O. Quacity.
The speeches Thursday were of an un- usually high order. The appearance and the speech of Miss Milly FIuous de- serve special commendation. The Athena Literary Society is to be congratulated on having produced such a mellifluous speaker.
Other men who tried for the debate were Messrs. I. C. H. Spreche. J. E. Parler. E. G. O. Dixit and O. Sasu-
It was announced after the speeches were over that an excursion would be run to Wake Forest on the night of the debate. The train will be eight cars long, and will have three of the South- ern's fastest engines attached. The cars will be armor-plated, and absolutely rock and brick-proof. The conductors will be provided with small Gatling guns for use in emergencies. The Durham police force will be in the rear coach.
The round-trip fare for the excursion will be only one dollar; and the passen- ger goes at his own risk. Accident and life insurance policies will be on sale at the station.
Club Meetings
The Fortnightly Club will meet Friday
ght, Maycember 16. Subject for dis- cussion: "Boccaccio's Attitude Toward the Sunday-school."
The Classical Club-us will meet -us Apruary-ius \6th -ae. Discussion-us of "Influence of Dime Novel on Homer's Diction."
The Historical Club next Monday night will discuss the historic dispute as to' whether Sir Walter Raleigh smoked .Antc-Bellum or Fatimas.
At its regular meeting Tuesday night, the Botanical Club will discuss the best species of mint for mint juleps.

VOLUME TWO OF
CHANTICLEER OUT
'riticism of Novel Features by Chronic-Ill Reviewer.
The Chronic-Ill is glad to note the second appearance of its contemporary, T/ie Chanticleer. The Chanticleer comes to ns this year in quite a different garb from formerly. Last year its inside cover design was gleaming in purple and gold, yet carried a strong suggestion of "Country Life in America;" this year the book carries a strong medieval im- pression, bristling with castles, burghers, monasteries, and forty dififerent varieties of distinctly legible Old English types.
The art editors claim to have received their medieval cue from the antique sound of the words Trinity and Chanti- cleer. They got their ideas of medieval architecture from some 1411 prints of the Trinity gymnasium and Science Hall.
A further example of subtle consist- ency with this medieval idea is the Social Calendar border design, consisting of a modern gentleman in conventional eve- ning dress, facing a rather — er — uncon- ventionaL Oriental lady on the opposite page.
Nowhere in the book, however, does the general plan conform so well to the medieval spirit suggested by the art de- partment as in the book of humor. The editors of this department merit our highest praise. To an intense diligence of historical research, they have brought a healthy conservatism which will accept no material that has not received the ap- proval of antiquity — or the Ladies Home Journal. The athletic editors are also to be felicitated, in one or two instances, for' rescuing data from the oblivion of past years. Another marked characteris- tic of this department, it may be remark- ed in passing, is the classic restraint of the erliti.rs in ringing individual praises.
Tlir M--tii'ii (if tlie book dealing with Senidis is one of the sulilest satires we have e\er read. Omitting all mention of the pictures, which scream for them- selves, we feel that we have not given this book a just review without noticing the keen, sly humor of the Senior editor. His method is to praise each subject un- qualifiedly, thereby gratifying the vanity of the subject, which is the prime object of this department, and at the same time furnishing the sophisticated public with the basis of a hearty sarcastic laugh.
The general plan of The Chanticleer, by which we mean the division into sep- arate, labeled "books," is a distinct de- parture along the lines of scientific or- ganization. The tradition of the unknown school-boy who drew a rude sketch with the cautious legend. "This is a dawg," has in this instance exerted a very pow- erful effect.
FEMINIST FORENSICS
FINISH IN FISTICUFF
Discussion of Suffrage Question Warms to Tonsorial Tug.
.^t the last meeting of the Athena Lit- erary Society, the question of woman sufifrage for North Carolina was dis- cussed. The question was .decided in favor of the affirmative by the vote of the society.
In the midst of the debate. Miss Nora M. Wright and Miss U. R. Rong became engaged in a verbal encounter which very nearly ended in a fist fight. Indeed, the two ladies had both obtained a good grip on their opponent's hair when they were separated by some of the cooler members of the society.
The discussion arose over the asser- tion of Miss Nora M. Wright that the sufifragette banner which was in use at that time would not be becoming when worn with anything but a simple house dress. At this statement. Miss TJ. R. Rong arose to a point of personal privi- lege. Miss Rong denied the assertion of Miss Wright, and claimed that the ban- ner would be equally as becorning if worn with a pink silk evening dress em- broidered with Irish lace. Miss Wright then informed Miss Rong that Miss Rong was evidently not cognizant of the latest fiishions. Miss Wright replied hotly that she knew more about Parisian fashions than did Miss Rong.
Here the Presidentess rapped for order, but Miss Rong was not able to control herself after this disparaging re- mark of her opponent, and she seized Miss Wright by the hair. Miss Wright returned the compliment and the affair was just getting interesting when cooler heads put a stop to it.
ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION!
O. T. Has a Very Strange Ad- venture and Narrovs' Escape.
Mr. O. T. Graham, whose reputation for veracity and sobriety is impeccable, yesterday came to a Chronic-Ill report- er with a tale calculated to make the blood of man run cold. O. T. claims that he is a marked man.
The older residents of the community will remember the formation of a vicious secret society on the campus last year, under the mystic name of "O. T." What the general campus dweller does not know, however, is that it was due to the keen insight and indefatigable investiga- tions of Mr. Graham, the campus watch- man, that several of these offenders were
brought to justice. O. T. claims that the remnants of this band have been on his track ever since that memorable expose.
O. T. showed the reporter a large knot on his head where an unknown assailant hit him with a biscuit cooked at the North Dormitory.
Mr. C. R. Bagley emphatically cor- roborates Mr. Graham's account.

ORGANIZATION OF LOCAL POETS FORMED
Characteristic Pointers on Style by the Members
Thursday afternoon, at the instiga- tion of Mr' Denry P. Hennis, who is well known locally as a patron of the belles letlrcs, a number of the verse writers of the community came together for the purpose of effecting a permanent organ- ization.
After an introductory speech by Mr. Denry P. Heunis, in which he empha- sized the importance of cultivating the spiritual and esthetic in modern literary life, Mr. B. U. M'Andrews, author of ".\ Fool-Boy's Poems," read a selection from a poem of his entitled, "God and Nature, and Their Relation to Man." In this passage he reached quite a lofty pitch of poetic inspiration. Mr. Syth Forgink read a paper on "The Lyric Touch," in which he took the ground that only rhyming tyros should regard the restrictions of verse technique ; read- ing, in conclufion, a sonnet exemplify- ing both these qualities perfectly.
Perhaps the best production from a purely lyrical standpoint was a passionate lament by our co-ed poetess, full of homesickness and world-weariness — "I Long to See the Seething Sea,"
Mr. L M. Right, who has written vol- uminously under the noin-de-plume of D. Ni Light, gave some recondite ratio- cination upon the subject of the elusiosity and pabulum spiritual of Hie supra- cosmic Kons. He gave a technicological exegesis of some of his own cosmogenic lyrics, with especial attention to the use of italics for emphasis.
Mr. Dolton discussed the inanities of conventional poetry, and advocated the adoption of Whitman ideals.
The literary program was concluded by an earnest appeal for sentiment from Mr. Musshey E. Pence, who made an in- spired talk- on the text, "Talk not of wasted affection : affection never was wasted." In proof of his theories he read an appealing poem called "Love's Renunciation."
LOCALS
Heath Thomas, former editor of the Trinity Chronic-Ill, was a visitor on the campus last night. Mr. Thomas, who look his A. B. at Trinity in 1903 and his .A..

Several Men Leave College
Immediately following the State Fair at Raleigh in October, several gentlemen left college, ostensibly on account of ill health. It has recently leaked out, how- ever, that these men were expelled for attending the Fair without the required permission. We publish this, not to hu- miliate the gentlemen in question, but merely for the sake of correcting a cur- rent misapprehension, for which our predecessor, the Chronicle, was respon- sible.

TRINITY CHRONICLE announces a new department — Caustic Comments. Applications for the editorship will be received by I. A. M. Not.
Our Alms
The Chronic-Ill, at its very inception, wants to make its good intentions and high ambitions thoroughly understood. If it cannot adopt a first-class, subservi- ent attitude, it hopes the Administration will squelch it. It does not intend to raise any howl about shower-baths being out of commission, walks being muddy, or any other commonplace inconvenien- ces which might stir up our contem- porary, the Chronicle, into a foaming wrath of protest. No yellow journalism for us. We choose conservatism. We leave all protests to the late lamented Students' Life Committee.
What we do want to do is to boost. That's what we're here for— to boost. Ich Diene, ich bootliche— this is our motto.
We Adopt the Nu Spelling
Following the exampl of our erudite friends, the Editors of the Trinity Kronikt. the .Kronik-Ill imll, after this issue, take it upon itself to uze the modern spelling. According to our ideas this nu spelling is by far the most satis- faktory that has bin discovered. It saves lost energv', and it saves a grate deel of time that wud otherwise hav bin aloud to go to waste.
Roosevelt, the gratest exponent of the nu sistem, ses that this is the only sensible way to rite ; and we, together with the Editors of the Kroiiikl. take our stand with that most notable figur in the worl today.
Indeed, there is no dout but that this method is an improvement over the old stile of riting. The modern method givs an infinitlv beter sound to all words and
Advice to Incoming Freshmen
A school's greatest strength is its Freshmen. Even the Freshmen them- selves will admit this. Therefore it be- hooves us to extend a few words of modest advice to these gentlemen — be- fore our esteemed contemporary, the Chronicle, reprints its stereotyped wel- come next fall. Not that we think we can tell you anything new, dearly be- loved— we realize the firm courtesy with which we would be shown our proper place in that event — but merely to hint modestly that we know some of the con- ditions, too.
Immediately upon reaching the college call upon the president and inform him of your arrival. This is nothing but courtesy, and you cannot afford to neglect it. After smoking one of his cigars, inquire of him casually as to who the best all-round fellow on the campus. Of course we could tell you that, ourselves, but modesty forbids — we will leave that to the president. Having learned the fellow's name, write him a personal note, informing him of your ar- rival, and proposing to room with him, provided, of course, he neither chews, curses, nor corresponds with Hinds and Noble.
Stick to your Catalogue as closely as your Sunday-school teacher told you to stick to your Bible, and your father, to stick to your pocket-book. It is the schedule by wdiich college affairs are reg- ulated, and you can rely upon the abso- lute authenticity of all its statements and descriptions.
Be very wary, for the first two or three weeks, of associating with men wearing white ribbons, with "Greater Trinity Club" printed on them. These men all represent boarding houses, and of course vou will be expected to take your meals with the Dean.
We take it for granted that you will ignore Chapel.
" Ask the Dean for a list of Crip Courses. He will be glad tn oblige you — everybody will, for that matter. Avoid these Crip Courses carefully. It is un- dignified for a man of your position, who led the Podunk High School in scholar.ship, to hop a Crip.
We thank you for listening to our random remarks.

BOOK REVIEWS
Messrs. Dimball and Kellinget Publish a New Volume.
Since the appearance of that most enigtnatical book, "The Faikire of Sus- cess," in which these two gentlemen handled the great problems of the Amer- ican college with their usual acuteness of mental insight, the college public has been eagerly awaiting the appearance of the sequel promised by the authors, in answer to the pressure brought upon them by the reading public.
This book, the title of which is "A Practical Manual of Excuses for College Students," has now come forth from the press of the Trinity Pressing Company, and is on sale at all college book rooms, at the usual self-sacrificing prices.
The book has a purely academic signi- ficance, and is of an eminently practical nature, as might have been expected from the personality of the authors. It fills a long felt need in the academic world, and we prophesy the necessity of an early second edition. After an able introductory chapter on the Ethics of Excuses, and an eminently practical demonstration of the necessity of ex- cuses in modern life, the authors narrow down their treatment to the needs of modern college life. They divide their field into three general divisions: 1. How to Evade Gymnasium Duties ; 2. How to Get Excused for Cutting Classes; 3. Remedies for Transient Troubles. Under these three heads they have col- lected and arranged alphabetically all the general excuses which have been in- fecting American colleges for the last fifty years. It is suggested that the stu- dent may now simply refer the author- ities to a number in this book, and be excused, rather than go through the usual tedious formality. We commend the book. It is a rare example of prac- tical fniition from detailed research.
JANUARY ARCHIVE
OFF THE PRESS
The Literary Section is Especially Good in This Issue.
The January number of the Archive has just come off the press. It contains this month some . of the best material, from a literary standpoint, that it has ever produced. The editors of this great publication are to be congratulated upon their fine efforts, the excellent results of which are to be seen in the present issue.
The magazine opens with a poem by Will Havern Orange, entitled, "When Feathered Songsters Sang Among the Sour Apple Trees." This poem is one of the best pieces of pastoral poetry
which the contributors to the Archive have ever produced. The third verse, which is one of the most beautiful in the whole poem, deserves to be quoted here: When feathered songsters sang among
the sour apple trees. Then herdsman Hal upheld his head,
and whispered to the breeze : O Molly dear ; O Molly mine ! Now
yield thee to my rule ! O Molly, dearest Molly — my cunning
Molly Cule.'" The short story by I. Doughnohoo, entitled "Languishing Lilly's Love," is without doubt, the best article of any kind that has ever appeared on the pages of the Archive. As can be seen from the name, this story contains none of that absurd, foolish, and "slushy" sentiment- alism so often found in college publica- tions.
Other articles in this issue which are worthy of mention are : "The Influence of Love on Politics," an essay by Cavin- ess ; "Rescue the Perishing." a short storv by A. LTngrv Boarder; "What was She' Before She Was What She Is?" a problem poem by Hall Tyme Figgerin ; and an editorial on "The Hardness of the Hardy Hard," by H. Ardboy.
Ministerial Band Meets
The weekly meeting of the Ministerial Sand was held last Friday in their com- modious quarters in the Academic Build- ing, which was erected for this specific purpose.
The evening being set aside as a mem- bers' meeting, there was no outside speaker. Metnbers on the program were soon called upon and several short ad- dresses of local pep were then showered forth.
Worthy of particular note was the eloquent discourse of Bro. I. B. Aslaugh- terer on the "Slaughter of the Sheep." and the touching utterances of Bro. M. L. Hayman, "Making Hay While the Sun Shines." This latter discourse was followed by an encouraging and joyous dissertation by Bro. R. A. Reap entitled "Reaping the Harvest."
The president announced as the speak- er for the next meeting. Rev. Mr. Iva Beenthere. who will speak on the sub- ject, "Preaching as a Means of a Liveli- hood." This is a subject in which many are vitally interested and it is thought that the bald-head seats will go at a premium.

Science Club Meeting
The meeting of the Science Club, which was postponed last Monday even- ing in order that the members might at- tend the Arcade, was held Monday even- ing in the Physics Gas Room of the Crowell Apartment Honse.
The meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. F. H. Tayllinger. The formalities of the order were then en- tered into, after which the president in- troduced the speaker of the occason. Dr. A. Rotten Glibglabber, Professor of Bi- Metallic Geology in the University of Eloon.
Prof. Glibglabber announced as his subject, "Evidences of Ragtime Music on the Planet Mars." This, he said, was the embodiment of research work carried on by him in the Carnegie Observatory at Eioon.
He began his lecture by defining the term "Ragtime." This term, he said, had been misconstrued and mininterpreted so often that he wished to conline his mean- ing here "to the plain, pure and unde- filed significance of the music heard in our theatres, dance halls, dime shows, on street corners, and in college com- munities."
The main part of the lecture was then broached, and Prof. Glibglabber showed by his pleasing delivery, his fascinating personality, and his ready flow of what gets the politician a job. that he is the complete master of his subject.
Before taking his seat the speaker thanked the club profoundly for this, his first lecture before such an able and eminent body of young scientists.
The president announced that at the next meeting Mr. Turp N. Tyne would read a paper on "What Makes the Wild Cat Wild?"
Resolutions of Respect
Whereas, For seven years the mem- ory of our deceased comrade has been neglected by the men of a soft and molly-coddlish generation ; and
Whereas, We, the Hard Boys' Asso- ciation, are firmly convinced that the deceased has fallen into an unmerited contempt from the softer members of college communities; and
Whereas, We claim him as a kindred spirit;
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That H. A. Zing was a good fellow; and
Be It Resolved, That we, the Hard Boys of the World, will ever cherish his memory.

GREAT LECTURER
COMING SOON
Prophetic Message to be Delivered by Professor Softhead
"My Dear Sirs:
If you want your students to see the light and hear the truth, have them as- sembled at Chapel tomorrow morning. (Signed) Prof. Ima SofthE-vd, Envov Prince of Peace."
The above sententious announcement, received today by the Faculty, may now be seen on the official bulletin board, whence all other notices have been tem- porarily removed in order to give it the proper prominence.
Mr. Softhead is a speaker of renown — a Man with a Mission — who has even appeared before the United States Con- gress. It has been a matter of consider- able difficulty to obtain such a lecturer, and the students should show their ap- preciation by a full attendance. "We are trying to make the Chapel services at- tractive." said an influential member of the Faculty to a Chronic-Ill reporter. "We want to liven up the interest some- what. Softhead is a man with a punch to what he says. We hope soon to be able to announce another lecture by Colonel Cody."

TRINITY MAN
GETS PATENT
Great Aid to Classicists Soon to be Marketed
Mr. B. Keen, who is recognized local- ly as one of the most proficient classical students in the State, has recently ob- tained a patent on his new device. "A Handy Aid to Classicists." and hopes soon to have it on the market. A stock company, headed by Mr. A Snb Latiner, has been formed to produce the "Aid," and the stock has been subscribed twice over by the Freshman class. Mr. Keen has already received an oiifer from Hinds and Noble, who, we understand, wish to hold the patent and suppress the manufacture of the "Aid." but he has decided to give humanity the benefit of his cleverness.
The device consists of an ordinary loose-leaf book binder, with a small cylinder concealed in the "back" of the binder. The binder holds the classic text, while the cylinder, which works ex- actly like a window shade, contains an India-paper, verbatim translation. When in use, the translation is unrolled over the text and held in place with the thumb. When the thumb is taken up, the translation automatically winds back into the cylinder.
Several days ago the Chronic-Ill sent a reporter to interview the Professors of Latin and Greek in regard to this inven- tion. Nothing has since been heard of him.
A Letter of Protest
The Chronic-Ill has received the fol- lowing letter, which it publishes in ac- cordance with the writer's request :
Jim SON Weed Junction. Editor Chronic-Ill :
Dear Sir : Kin you tell me whats the mater with mv Tom. Last yeer he made 95 at the Jimson Weed High School, but I understand he has flunked two courses at Trinity College. Ma and me cant understand it. I think there must be something wrong with your college when a bright boy like him flunks. Why havent you sent in his grade on his Ar- cade course? That is the only course he likes, but you forgot to send his grade on that. Why dont you change the Chape! hour? Here you write me and complain that he dont atend chapel, and he says it makes him get up too soon. Boys need plenty of sleep. Yours truly,
James Soon.
We don't know why this letter was addressed to us, rather than the college office. However, we invite the attention of the Hard Boys' Association to this matter.
A Queer Discovery
A few days ago a student, seeking to discover the reason why his room was so cool while the May sun was burnin.g up everything outside, found that his radiator was packed with ice, which yet remained from last winter's freeze-ups. This suggests the possibility of eventual- ly putting radiators to some practical use.
Unprovoked Attack
"Several students have reported to the Chronic-Ill one of the most unusual cases of assault on record at the college. The affray took place in the hall of the East Dormitory. Mr. Cobb Webb, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this communit)', was occupying one of the farther corners of the hall. The soectators all agree that he was doing nothing that could in any way be termed offensive. Must Rest, one of the colored janitors in charge of the building, hap- pened to be passing at this time, with a broom, the property of the Historical Museum. Now. a broom, as the few who have seen one in operation will testify, is a very dangerous weapon, if skilfully handled. Rest walked up to Webb, and. without a word, hit him with the broom. Before the spectators could interfere. Webb had been knocked down. So severely was he handled that his re- covery is doubtful. The janitor, upon being turned over to the police, pro- fessed the deepest, contrition, and said he did not know what had induced him to perform so unwonted an act.
The New Art Movement
At length the new Cubist and Futurist movements in art have exercised an in- fluence on the local artists. Mr. L. B. Gurley's study, "The Meditative Fresh- man," is an especially keen application of Futurist principles. To the un- initiated the bust of the Freshman appears to be nothing but a blank, solid cube of wood, but to the initiated it ap- pears a perfectly true-to-life reproduc- tion.

Suit Brought Against Archive Faculty Meeting Postponed
Mr. Tennyson Keats Greener, of the Freshman class, has brought suit against the Trinity Archive for $2,000, for alleged mental anguish. Mr. Green- er contends that he submitted to that publication, his best ' lyric, "Your Eyes Are Blue." but had it unceremoniously turned down. Mr. Greener contends that while his matter was being held by the Archive he might easily have dis- posed of it to the Atlantic Monthly for $3,500. He also contends that the editor rejected it. not on i's merits, but out of professional jealousy.
Mr. Greener's counsel is trying to get the case moved to another community for trial, saying that it would be im- possible to convince a local jury that the Archive ever rejected anything.
Announcement
The Chronic-Ill intends, in its future issues, to present a succession of inter- views with our most important citizens, covering subjects of local, national and international interest. We take great pleasure in announcing, for our next is- sue, an interview with Dean Hunt on the subject, "Artistic Landscape Garden- ing : French Formalism and Oriental Exuberance."
Book Thievery
Of late there has been considerable complaint in the community about the theft of books. Mr. Mack Leese re- ports the loss of a de luxe volume of Boethius' Consolations of Philosophy. Mr. Cav I. Ness complains that some one has stolen from' him a volume called The Social Arts, and Mr. Brennie Jinn has been robbed of The Theodosian Code. Such a shameful state of affairs should be ended immediately.
New Secret Societies
The social life of the community has been enriched by the addition of two new secret societies.
Last Thursday twelve members of the Freshman class. under the name "Nights of Leisure." perfected an organ- ization for the promotion of closer rela- tions between the Faculty and students who fail to pass their work.
On the sncceoiiinp; niyht a number of the most pnit;ressi\c members of the Sophomore class orynnized the "Polish Knights of the Bath." The purpose of this organization is stated to he the pro- motion of closer relations between the Sophomore and Freshman classes.
The Chronic-Ill is requested to an- nounce that the regular Faculty meeting has been postponed from Thursday until some day next week, on account of the opening baseball game. The postpone- ment is regarded as a distinct victon- for the more progressive element of the body, as there was strong opposition to the move by some of the members. The obiection raised was that at this meeting the question of the expulsion of two men was to be referred to the Faculty by the President. The offenses in ques- tion were the repeated cutting of gj'mna- sium and chapel by the men, both of whom are members of the Sophomore class.
The petition for the postponement was circulated by Prof. Mushey E. Pence, and signed by a large majority of the members.
Fatal Cutting Affray
As the Chronic-Ill goes to press, re- ports come to us of a serious cutting affray. Some unknown Senior, in broad daylight, attacked Mr. Jim Class, and cut him so seriously that it is doubtful whether he can survive later than June, at the best. Mr. Class was rescued by Captain Hard, of the Trinity College Faculty, who accidentally happened to be present at the time, The miscreant fled, but in his haste he dropped a hand- kerchief marked H. L. W. With this as a clue, the authorities are confident of soon being able to bring the criminal to justice.

Dutch, whose umlauts never bore? Where is the Chess Club (queen that pawn!)

Where's the Writers' Club's hibernation.

Base-Ball! Base-Ball!
THE GREATEST GAME OF THE SEASON
The Big Faculty vs. The Little Seniors
There have been games of ball, but none like this since the palmy days when John the Baptist strode nonchalantly through the wilderness. The Seniors have sworn vengeance on their naughty opponents, but the dignified deep thinkers declare that no bunch of muckrakers like the class of 191 3 shall take one cubit from their statues.
By kindness of John Love, the music will be furnished by the "Ministerial Band."
For the benefit of the crowd — entirely for the benefit of the large crowd present — one of the more prominent Greek Letter men will attempt to drink a bottle of Pepsi Cola. This feat alone will be worth the price of admission, as this has never been attempted by a frat man before.
Despite the fact that the upper classmen boast of five varsity men, Duiif Lewis is betting dollars to "Grand" checks on the philosophers ; while Culbreth and Slaughter are booking stakes for their teammates. Any one who is a sport and wishes to gamble fairly will do well to call on one of these gentlemen. They will treat you right.
But 'tis the naked truth, around which the "College Tailors" will shortly cast a nobby Norfolk, that, laying aside all B. S. (which abbreviation means base-ball sarcasm), the personnel of the doctors' team would make Matty shiver in his shoes or Joe Wood smoke with envy.
The faculty, personally and collectively, threaten to run a dark beast of burden in the box. L(ong). A (arm). Forsythe, the high-salaried contortionist recently imported from the Arctic regions just for this game, has a wind-up which resembles a fat terrier with the duplex vertigo. It is whispered here and there among the knowing ones that "Mink" will catch the game. This is abso- lutely his first appearance in professional base-ball, and for the benefit of those who have never seen the famous beauty in action, the faculty wish to state that he is a meek and gazelle-like receptacle for the elusive spit-ball, the tantalizing up-shoot, and the mesmerizing Salome ball — all of which come oozing up to the plate like C. White and J. Brinn riding a gravy to Doc Skinner's. The Salome ball is entirely original with the new pitcher, and while there's nothing special on it, many have fallen hopeless victims to the delicious curve.
The infield will probably be the same, while Laprade, Webb, and Spence have been chosen to protect the outer gardens. The first was chosen because of the immense plot of ground which he covers individually, and the last named is
Pa^c two hundred and six
noted for the graceful manner in which he cavorts around the field, much resembling a possum hunter in the Dismal Swamp.
The grave and learned nine have issued printed notices to the effect that after the game, the Seniors will eat out of their hand as has heretofore been their custom for the last four years. But the four-year men with much gilded effrontery affirm that the transcendent ambitions of their advisers will be pros- trated in the gritty bacterial dust, in plain sight of wife and sweetheart. "So complete," they say, "will be the ignominiousness of it all that the teachers will perforce be constrained to take the taunts, jibes and jeers of their conquerors, as a dog must needs submit to the cutaneous perambulations of the friendly, freckled, frisky flea." And they add somewhat unwillingly that bottles will assail the grim umpire in such showers that the campus will be in danger of a booze famine for an entire week.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Every student will be required to answer the following questions :
1. Should women vote?
2. Are you a Mormon ?
3. Sh ! have you a bottle on your clothes ? O. T. i^'ill handle the indicator.
Mr. //". G. Sheppard -a'ill donate bcantifnl banquets of flowers to the deserving players.
Just before the game is called, a tall, handsome brunette will pass among the spectators distributing cards bearing this inscription: "Mr. W. Ira Bost," the merest mention of which will allow you ten per cent discount anywhere in the State.
While the pitchers are warming up, there will be a clever wrestling bout between big Farrar and Freshman Turner; the two opponents are pretty evenly matched, except the latter has a little more name, his whole handle, s'il vous plait, being William Jennings Bryan. What advantage the former may have in weight will be more than offset by the foot-work of the latter, whose namesake was a noted long distance runner himself in his day.
All in all. the afternoon offers an excellent program, and any one holding a slight grudge against his mother-in-law and wishing to even up matters, will do well to bring her out.

There's a prof, who in meeting his classes, Shows a wonderful love for the lasses ; O your Ed, he may flunk. But no matter how punk. The good-looking Co-ed — she passes.
A tired Freshman in the literary society leaned over to his neighbor one night during an extra long oration, and asked: "Do you know why that long- winded speaker is like a cat's tail ?"
"No," answered his astonished companion; "Why?"
"Because it's fur to the end !" sighed the first Freshman.

CARMEN DOCTORUM LATINORUM (Par-doniis. 0 S-anftc) O Caesar 'ad a Romanos, An Pompeius et jam ; Poppeia 'ad tii mane bos — \'as Cicero a clam?
Dr. Few (in chapel) — This business of throwing snow-balls through windows is childish, besides being one of the worst conceivable manifestations of thuggery. It cannot be tolerated, etc.
Prof. Pegr.\m (reading from Bible) — "Fret not thyself because of evil doers."
Dr. Few (to a late Bible class on fcbrnarv 0) — You Seniors must be taking the mid-year examinations for a Catastrophe rather than an Episode.
CHEMIC GOSSIP You tell me Nick L. Carbon-ate
Potassium with apatite? Why such a tale is silly-Kate,
But while Nick wouldn't, Dolo-mite.
Now, who said Silver lo-dyed. And who called Ethyl-lean ?
This Carbon?— Well, old Nick L. lied; I know, for Kerro-seen.
Prof. G. (on Ec. I) — Mr. Paris, how may citizenship be attained in the United States other than by birth ?
Mr. Paris (promptly) — By neutralization.
Mr. C (approaching Math. Prof.) — Professor, I believe my brother is taking your Math — .
M.\TH. Prof. — Oh ! no, it is true that he has been exposed to it. but I hardily think there is any danger of his taking it.

Apropos of the many names to be found written on the walls of the old Inn, and in many other places about the campus, the following from Eli Perkins will be interesting:
"Whene'er I see a felloic's name
IVritten on the glass. I knoiv he owns a diamond.
And his father owns an ass."
In writing a sketch of that renowned night-hawk, that never-sleeping guardian of our campus, that all-seeing eye of the faculty which is designated by the expressive term "O. T.," one must search carefully through all the intricacies of a Webster's Unabridged to find words suitable to express his awful dignity of person. At his appearance, which is always sudden and unexpected, every student assumes an unusual air of scholarly preoccupation. His name is heard ringing across the campus at all hours of the night. "O. T." is one of the founders and charter members of the ancient and honorable order known as the Ananias Club. His application is now being considered for membership in "Die Schwer-Knaben," or the Hard Boys' Club. He is Worthy Grand Chaplain of the Durham chapter of the American Prevaricators' Union. And his honors are all deserved !
Each term two hundred freshmen brings, you say ; Yes, but where leaves the fresh of yesterday ?
And this same college year that brings the fresh. Three times their worth of Seniors sends away.
Well, let them graduate ; what have we to do With freshman, junior, and such bazoo ?
Let prof and prexy thunder as they will. And dean call to his office — heed not you.
— FROM THE COLLEGE RUB.\IY.\T.
Page two huudrcd and twelve
A moment's halt, a momentary taste Of college life— what father calls a waste ; And lo! The college-man has reached The nothing he set out from ; Oh, make haste !
— FROM THE college: RUBAIYAT.
A Fresh was once given a tip, To hop the C Course for a crip ; And he now works away, Forty-three hours a day, And wrathfully froths at the lip.
Why, if the grad can fling his books aside, And lordly on the gravy train can ride ;
Wer 't not a shame, wer 't not a shame. In undergraduate boning to abide ?
— FROM THE COLLEGE RUBAIYAT.
For I remember stopping by the way
To watch a freshman jack his weary way
Through Livy, while the Jack, like Baalam's ass Protested, "Gently, brother, gently, prav."
FROM THE COLLEGE RUBAIYAT,
The Mink when he's holding a class, Has notions decidedly crass ;
He thinks it most comic.
And so economic. To make a man feel like an ass.

Riding the Grav
There once lived a college debater. Who was also a deuce of a skater ; O Mike, it was great. To see that man skate, On the top of his steam radiator.
APOLOGIA
Only those who have tried can understand fully the lack of anything funny in the labors of a humorous editor. In the present case, the two editors of this department first proceeded to take certificates of stock and receive full membership rights in the Prevaricator's Union. They are also bona fide members of the Knockers" Club, and are therefore not liable to suit by those whom they may chance to make mad. This department, therefore, is to be no respecter of persons, but will perpetrate its jokes on students and faculty alike. Organizations and individuals will both receive their proper attention. Male and female ; graduate and undergraduate; hard-boys and preachers; all will come in for their proper share as far as possible.

"There's yo'^ Jell-O and peaches, chile. Yo' goin' to like dat. Jell-O's fine for chil'en 'at likes good things to eat."
Dinah is a cook — a great cook — but even Dinah cannot make other desserts so dainty and delightful as those she makes of
jELL^O
They are "fine for children" and everybody else.
Any of the seven flavors of Jell-O may be used for these desserts, and for additional variety, peaches, pine- apple, oranges, bananas, or other fruit may be added or used to garnish them. The Jell-O flavor is so delicious that it is never juressary to add anything to make it better.
A Jell-O dessert can be made in a minute by anybody.
The seven flavors are : Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate.
All grocers sell Jell-O, 1 0 cents a package. The beanlifal recipe book, "DESSERTS OF THE WORLD," illuslraled in ten colors and gold, will be sent free to all who write and ask us lor it.
