ident A. A. Murphree of the Flori-
da Female College was the ntx'
speaker on thb program, and
delighted every one with his orator-
cial display in handling the subject
"The Unity of the State School
System. Hon. N. P. Bryan,
Chairman of the Board of Control
had for his theme "The University
of the State of Florida," and we
were fortunate enough to secure a
greater part of his remarks, which
we present to our readers. Mr
Bryan said:
"Florida, as a State, is sixty-one years.
old. The act of Congress which admit-
ted her ito the Union, recognizing the
value of education, made provision for
two seminaries of learning, one east and
one west of the Suwannee River. The
one east was located at Gainesville; the
one west, at Tallahasee. The state then
proceeded to wander and roam in the
educational field for sixty years, having
established in that period of time, in ad-
dition to these seminaries, institutions of
learning, for the education of the white
children of the state, at Lake City, De-
Puniak Springs, Bartow and St. Peters-
burt, and made appropriation for at least
one other. Then came the Legislature
of 1905.

that so many institutions of simhnilar aim,

In thus coming before the public
we have no apologies to offer, for
nome are necessary. But we have
many than to give to the good
people of Gainesville for their
hearty and loyal support of this
enterprise which they have deemed
worthy of their assistance. We
were commended in our undertak-
ing by Dr. Sledd, president of the
University, and we have been en-
couraged by all patriotic college
men. In return we shall offer the
best we have in each issue and
hope in the course of a few mouths,
when we are in better running
order, to publish a paper unexcelled
by any school. The students are
the contributors, and frou. the

This being our first issue, we
have no exchanges to clip from;
but in the hereafter we hope to be
in position to give you the cream
of other college publications.

Our sisters at Tallahassee "beat
us to it" in the college publication

line by starting up last year; but
we'll catch up with them by June
by printing curs bi-weekly while
they have theirs monthly.
We wish to call the attention of
all of our readers to the excellent
speech of Hon. N. P. Bryan,
Chairman of the Board of Control,
oa the first page of this issue. In
college slang, he made a ten pin
strike.

This journal will seldom dabble
in politics, as we owe our existence
to those dangerous things, and a
turn of the mighty crank or cranks
may mean the death of all of us.

We 6olidt and are very glad in
deed to have all poems, articles,
emays or stories written by the
students, faculty, or alumni of the
U78A,,, ---T- %,*t -w%. J,, &%, -*ma &%;

We are always open to sug-

We are in for, and shall always
endorse athletics in any way we
can. We are great believers in
good, clean athletic sports, anid are
glad to give space in our columns
to any matter which will advance
the cause. We call especial atten
tion to the article by Athletic Di-
rector, Forsythe, in this issue, and
beartly endorse all that he says.
Truly, a college is widely known
thru the men who represent hei on
the field or in the parlor. a

press des patches the Longworths are very
much disturbed over the fact that their

A very eminent physician has been called
to attend "doggie" and strenuous efforts
are being made to save the hair. As
Nicholas Longworth is very bald himself
he can probably sympathige with the

TO OUR ADVERTISERS
We believe that it pays to ad
vertise; we are glad to Iee other
people that do. We after grateful
to all who have placed their cards
in our paper, and we are sure that
they will come out winners a
hundred fold. We urge all stu-
dents and those interested in this
journal to do their trading with
those who have patronized us.
They have helped you, students, by
helping your paper; now show'
your proper spirit by helping them.'
Some firms of every kind of busi-
ness have given us support. Now1
help them by giving your trade
over into their hands. Several
whom we have broached on this
subject have arrived at the conclu-
sion that they are going to get all
the college trade anyhow, so let
them labor under this impression
until you have undeceived them by
trading elsewhere. Look over
your paper before buying or come
to us and we will direct you aright.
That will be showing the proper
college spirit. That will be show-
ing those people that they can't
expect everything from you and
give you nothing. Cut the proper
caper and let your money go to
those who tike an interest in
you more than to get what you
have. All contributions, sugges-
tions, subscriptions, advertisements
or other matter v be handed to*
the editor on the street, mailed to
him, left at "The Oaks," or drop-
ped-in The Elevatot office, and all
wiltbe gratfully receii ,d.

We are all sometimes filled with
the best spirits one way or the
other. The most desirable kind at
this time, however, is good old
college spirit.

The Female College, at the last
hearing, had enrolled 136 of Flori-
da's fair damsels, representing
more than thirty counties. Now
those Tallahassee Beau Brummels
will purchase Haylers, Nunnallys.
etc., in a very strenuous manner,
we guess.

that oa the basis of percent, there
are a large wuuubcr of leading col-

team than in the rest of the school.
I claim WLK submit to the records,
that the men who play foot ball
make, as a whole, better grades
during foot bill months tham dur-
ing the months of the session, due
to the regular habits required by
the training Code, and the activity
of mind that accompanies activity
of body.
I have no patience with the "arm
chair" foot ball critic-a self-ap-
pointed here, who, with dogmatic
self conceit, abuses a sport which
be has not had the opportunity or
perhaps the inclination to investi-
gate. How often do we hear the
adjectives "brutal"-"degrad-
ing"-"'dangerous" applied to foot
ball by persons who have never
even seen a foot ball or a gridiron,
or know absolutely nothing of how
the game is played.
How otten this year have we
seen in our newspapers, luid ap-
peals to the legislature and college
authorities to stop a sport, that to
note their tone, you would imagine
was as dangerous as a Boer regi-
ment or Japanese Squadron.
Legislation! what has a Legislature
to do with a college boy's sport?
It might as well arrogate to itself
to the right to stop bicycling, row
ilg, base ball or any other sport
which does not imperil the public
morals. The College authorities are

so, both occupying a legitimate
place in the day, and In the
thoughts and hearts of thestudents.
The experiment of abolishing out
door athletics has been tried by
some few colleges, but let us re-
joice in that the light has again
dawned on most of them.
The game of foot ball trains the
mind and muscles together. The
movements of the game are as com-
plicated as any on the chess board,
which latter requires only the men-
tal efforts to be executed: a man
engaged in a game of foot ball is
taught the importance of perfect
obedience, and of combined and inl
stantaneous action. It is not a
game where brute streught alone
avails: a keen intelligence and an
indomitable courage must charac-
terize a successful foot ball player,
just as it must a successful general.
Foot ball is no game for a fool! To
the initiate the struggling maas of
men on the gridiron may appear
senseless-a man exhibitions of
brute force, but a slight knowledge
of the game reveals intricate com-
binations for offence and defense,
quick moving and shifting like the
colors in a kaleidoscope. The man
with the ball goes down, and a
mass of humanity are piled on top

tlot will remain green in the mem-

time to come. It was the day set
apart for the public celebration of
the opening of the University of
the State cf Florida in its new lo-
cation on the beautiful site one
mile west of the Court House, and
jut over the city limits of Gaines-
vile. For several days the citizens
were engaged in preparing for the
event, the stores outside and in
were decorated profusely with the
colors of the University and ap-
propriate mottoes were in frequent
evidence. A large number of stu-
dents had already reported and
these with their friends and rela-
p added considerably to the
crowds upon (&e streets. The
conittee of 'Arrangements had
fi-mulated an attractive program
of exercises, secured a fine band
and the ladies-as is always the
case-were active in promoting the
mucess of the day, by arranging a
reception with refreshments to be
enjoyed after the speaking. Short-

Why. the people of Jacksonville, be

April gave out of their necessities about
$15,000,00 to relieve suffering in far-away

Lord has blessed them, will gladly con-

people of Florida. It is to be re-
gretted that it is impi-ssible to pub-
lish his remarks in full, for they
would make excellent, reading and
a good reference for rising orators.
Mr. Hampton classed the day as
a "red letter" one in the history of
Gainesville and expressed his
pleasure in having the duty thrust
upon himfof welcoming the dis-
tinguished gentlemen present, as
well as the students. He then re-
ferred to the birth of the Buckhamu

unpritedented, anomalous. Without
theanir.g, or assuming to say, tldat these
institutions were of no benefit, but fraunk-
ly conceding that much good was accom-
plished, I do assert that this benefit was
at 'east sectional, if not local, in charac-
ter.
Then came the Buckman :;ill, drastic
in its provisions, seemingly cruel in its
abolition features; but I verily believe
wise in theory and statesman-like in
meeting these conditions which had
grown up among us. Its great central
idea is concentration.
And so we have come back to Gaines
ville and Tallahassee for locations.
Gainesville, beautiful in her surround-
ings, patriotic, enthusiastic, big-hearted
Gainesville opens wide her doors and
bids the boys of the State welcome.
Likewise Tallahassee, the favored
child of the state, rich in history and
tradition, cultured and refined, presses
to her bosom the girls of the State, and
isls them welcome.

say it is Ihurden enough to pay the run-
ning expenses of the state, without b-intg

other peoples' chilre,,. Why tax for
this purpose? Why have a State Uni-

to it is very plain aid simuipl-. 'Ihe
same duty rests up'ion the tilte to c. mn
.1.. t.h. ....,.-atin o. f her future cit.e1ie

in higher, collegiate and university
education.
Th's is the age of the specialist. The
so-called learned professions can no
longer monopolize the technical instruc-
tion of our colleges and universities, but
provision must also be made for the ex-
pert in other callings, such as teaching,
engineering, pharmacy and agriculture.
The time is past when "a soft hand in a
kid glove" is the badge of a gentleman.
It is no longer undignified to labor.
We, as a people, are peculiarly depend-
ent upon skilled labor in almost every
calling of life.
From Pensacola on the west, in whose
splendid harbor can float the navies of
the world, on down through the-as yet
-undrained Everglades, and beyond to
Key West, the new gate-way to the
countries sorth of us, Dame Nature has
bestowed her choicest blessings. No
land possessed of superior natural re-
sources is to be found on the face of the
habitable globe. It would be easier Wo
mention the few we do not than to enum-
erate the many we do enjoy. Her
golden fruit and her fleecy staple, greet-
ing each other on their way to the
markets of the world; her climate, sea
coast, commerce, forests, phosphate,
vegetables, fruits and agricultural and
pasture lands, proclaim us a happy,
prosperous and contented people.
With all these resources, Florida has
only begun to be the great state she is
desitied to become. These resources
..ill e d-eveloped by educated people;
t)y our own educated people if we are
wist; by educated people from elsewhere
If we are not wise. Will our people
take advantage of these opportunities,
or will they be content to be servants
and dependents of others? Will they Ir-
leaders, or will they be unskilled day
laborers? They will be lealerb, and I
will tell you why. The people of this
state are inferiorr to nto people in mental
and moral endowumeit-. '1 hey were
here whl-n this State was a wilderness.
They had the pluck to meet, with un-
cou.plaining, splendid patience, courage
and determination, the disastrous freeze
of t93., which swept away in a single
night the accatnulations of a life-time of
haul, li.ineer work, and in a short de
ca, de have made the achievements of the

not be found anywhere. It has not been
the purpose of the boards in charge to
erect showy, expensive buildings, but we
believe we have spent the State's money
wisely in plain, comfortable, substantial,
permanent structures. The campus is
laid off with the idea of permanancy. We
have ample grounds for all present and
future purposes. Other departments
will be added as needed.
This is a public institution for the ben.
efit of all the people. It makes no dif-
ference how poor you are or how rich you
are, just so you are a gentleman and are
willing to work.
Ifa boy goes out of Florida to get an
education now, it is becauw h.* wants to,
and not because he has to or ought to do
it.
The advantages to a citizen of this
State of an education obtained in it over
an education obtained d out of it are evi-
dent. WVh. it he gets through, he doesn't
feel like "'. stranger in a strange land "
He has a St tde acquaintance with men
who will be his associates, for life. lie
feels like he is at home and has an in-
terest in his native State, her institutions
and her people.
This, in briel, is what the State through
her University offers her young men.
And in return she expects them to he
useful, upright citizens. She cannot ask
more. They cannot afford to be less.
It may be suggested that all this costs
money. Of course it does, but it is
worth it. Education is cheap at any
price. lgnorance is the costly, the ex-
pensive thing. It is always and every
where true that the people who spend
most on education are the richest, most
powerful and most progressive people;
while the vicious and criminal classes
come almost exclusively from the igno-
rant people. I <,rance begets crime.
More money will be spent by the taxpay
ers this year in the prosecution of crimi-
nals in the two counties of Duval and
Hlilaborough alone, then will be spent
by the taxpayers to support this Univers-
ity serving all the forty-six counties of
the State.
Another thing: Since tie passage of
the Buckman Bill the Government of the
United states has spent vastly more
money tor the education of Florida boys
than have the taxenvers of the State.

ture, will refuse to foster, support and
maintain their public institutions. You,
sir, (turning to the Governor) are not the
Governor of a miserly, niggardly people,
but of a people who have ever been con-
trolled in such matters more by patriot-
ism than by selfishness: more by great-
hearted liberality than by calculating,
closs-fisted stinginess.
I believe the next Legislature will
want to be satisfied that the appropria-
tion asked will be necessary for the pro-
per equipment and maintenance of the
institutions temporarily under our care;
but I do not believe that we will be
placed in the attitude of begging for the
young men and young women of the
State.
Two years ago only one out of several
proposed constitutional amendments
was adopted by the people, but that one
carried by a tremendous majority; and it
was to tax themselves, to raise the con-
stitutional millage to aid in the cause of
public education.

then great riches; that "sound morals is
the basis of good citizenship; "that"
liberty hath no abiding place save in the
intelligence of the people."
"By their fruits ye shall judge them."
The hope and pride of this University
will center in the young men who now
and from time to time hereafter, avail
themselves of the privileges here so
freely tendered.
May they represent her with credit
while here, and when they leave, to re-
turn in the capacity of students no more,
may they go forth, with her certificate
that they are worthy, well equipped to
take their places as leaders "in the
several pursnits and professions of life "
May it soon he the proud privilege of
this University, though the instrumental-
ity and by the mighty power of this
great State, voicing the will of the people,
to make it easily possible for every
worthy young man within her borders to
secure a first-class University education.

Ia thus coming before the public
we have no apologies to offer, for
noe are cessary. But we have
many than to give to the good
people of Gainesville for their
hearty and loyal support of this
enterprise which they have deemed
worthy of their assistance. We
were mwmmen4ed in our undertak-
ing by Dr. Sledd, president of the
University, and we have been en-
couraged by all patriotic college
men. In return we shall offer the
best we have in each issue and
hope in the course of a few months,"
when we are in better running
order, to publish a paper unexcelled
by any school. The students are
the contributors, and from the
students come almost our entire.
support in this line. Anon, then
will appear articles graciously
given by the faculty or others in-
terested, but as a rule this paper
will be by the students, of the stu-
dents, and for the students.
Students, you are earnestly re-
quested to write something for
your school paper. Who knows
whether you are a genius or not?
Nobody. The thing to do is to
get down to it and write a story,
an article, a poem, something
funny, interesting, who cares so it
is of interest to the general public?
Don't say that you desire no fame.
Grapes are not always sour that
require a little working to obtain
them. Just do your best. Angels
could do Imie. It is your duty
to try. YVo uty to your college
which fosters you, your parents
who look for the best that is in
you, and to your God from whom
come your talents.
A school isn't worth much with-
out college spirit. A college news-
paper is the best medium in the
world to engender this spirit, as
well as for advertising the school.
Students try to do things that they
night oe recognized by the" public.
They realize the power of the
printer's ink. They see that they
mGt put forth their highest and
best efforts to make a good show-
ing before the public. It causes
broad rivalry, and makes better
students.
The Florida College for women
advertises as embracing many
things, but we notice with regret
that University Students are not
among the things so fortunate.
Is there any chance, Dr. Murphree?
When you get up in the morn-
ing and start to "come clean" for
the day, repeat this with a sancti.-
monious contortion of your physi-
ognomy.
"Wht kind If every felo- in iIt were just like me:"

It may do you and your school
some good.

A University needs a publication
about as bad as the Devil needs a
conscience. It can afford to do
without it as well as a fiddler can
do without his resin. We have
the fiddle; help us supply the
resin, and we will have some
music.

All the students seem "tickled
to death" with Gainesville, and
the good people here are very en-
thusiastic over the University.
We can only hope for such har-
monious accord forever, and we are
sure that such will be the case.
This is an ideal college town, and
we hope the school will stay right
here always. The Board of Zon-
rol selected very wisely indeed.
Some few are squirming under
the strict Military discipline which
is being administered at the school
in regular doses; but there are
none who fail to realize hnw ..,n-h

This school never has had a
newspaper; it may be a question
whether or not it has one now.
We are all sometimes filled with
the best spirits one way or the
other. The most desirable kind at
this time, however, is good old
college spirit.

The Female College, at the last
hearing, had enrolled 136 of Flori-
da's fair damsels, representing
more than thirty counties. Now
those Tallahassee Beau Brummels
will purchase Huylers, Nunnallys,
etc., in a very strenuous manner,
we guess.
This being our first issue, we
have no exchanges to clip from;
but in the hereafter we hope to be
in position to give you the cream
of other college publications.
Our sisters at Tallahassee "beat
us to it" in the college publication
line by starting up last year; but
we'll catch up with them by June
by printing curs bi-weekly while
they have theirs monthly.
We wish to call the attention of
all of our readers to the excellent
speech of Hon. N. P. Bryan,
Chairman of the Board of Control,
on the first page of this issue. In
college slang, he made a ten pin
strike.

This journal will seldom dabble
in politics, as we owe our existence
to those dangerous things, and a
turn of the mighty crank or cranks
may mean the death of all of us.
We solicit and are very glad in
deed to have all poems, articles,
essays or stories written by the
students, faculty, or alumni of the
sponsible for what is said thru
these columns as we do not endorse
all the ideas and opinions that have
been or will be expressed.
We are always open to sug-
gestion or criticism.

We are in for, and shall always
endorse athletics in any way we
can. We are great believers in
good, clean athletic sports, and are
glad to give space in our columns
to any matter which will advance
the cause. We call especial atten
tion to the article by Athletic Di-
rector, Forsythe, in this issue, and
heartly endorse all that he says.
Truly, a college is widely known
thru the men who represent her on
the field or in the parlor.

"Man can not live on bread
alone," nor can a newspaper de-
pend on subscriptions alone, but
we do depend a good amount on
them, as we are judged almost al-
together by our circulation. A
dollar means little to you, but
several of them come in handy in
running a newspaper. Show the
proper spirit by sending us your
one dollar for a year's subscription.
Talk up the University News
You can help us by talking good
things abont us. Only one dollar
per year for a good, clean, spicy,
newsy, college publication. Sent
to any address upon receipt of
price. Every student in the school
ought to take this pa; er, as well
as all the patrons. Help us out,
we can't run a paper on sympathy.
It takes money, and a plenty of it.

We understand that a movement
is on foot to form a Dramatic Club,
and a Glee Club. Don't let them

We believe that it pays to ad-.

to all who have placed their cards
in our paper, and we are sure that
they will come out winners a
hundred fold. We urge all stu-

journal to do their trading with
those who have patronized us.
They have helped you, students, by
helping your paper; now show-
your proper spirit by helping them.
Some firms of every kind of busi-
ness have given us support. Now4,
help them by giving your trade
over into their hands. Several
whom we have broached on this
subject have arrived at the conclu-
sion that they are going to get all
the college trade anyhow, so let
them labor under this impression
until you have undeceived them by
trading elsewhere. Look over
your paper before buying or come
to us and we will direct you aright.
That will be showing the proper-
college spirit. That will be show-

lam Jin ,

Nearly ten yeas ago o a cold,
iMaly day, the writer of this ar-
tkie sand la the grand stand at
thePar In Columbia* and with
aboutlw4en-t tof the lew hun-
dred 'al tatos present wondered
what itall meat-what the tw.aty-
two talwart young fellows, repre-
eati g eammon and the University
of South orolina, were trying to
do as they stood about in the mud,
tagging and struggling for the pos-
emion of what appeared to be a
huge, red mud ball. This was the
first game of inter-collegiate foot
ball that the writer had witnessed-
in fact one of the first played South
of the North Carolina line.
The game ended by the score of
ten to five in Clemson's favor, and
those of as who knew a little of
ase ball and nothing of foot ball.
felt that our Champions had done
gloriously. We had already yelled
ourselves hoarse at we knew not
what, but not contented with this,
at the termination of the game,
members of the faculty and the
students alike, plunged out into
the gridiron, ankle deep in Carolina
mud and slush, and bore off the be-
decked victors as if they had been
indeed conquering heroes. It made
no difference whether or not the
game and its merits were under-
stood; it was enough to know that
mew College had been victorious
This game was the first of those
"'Fair Week Contests" in Columbia
which attract thousand of citizens
and draw to the city thousands of
visitors from all over the South.
The growth and popularity of the
game has indeed been phenomenal.
The writer left the field of the
first of these contests convikiedi
that this game of foot ball had .i'i,.
more to unify the Clemson st, [ at
body; more to arouse college spirit
and college pride, than all the at'
letic events in Clemson's history
put together. He felt that the
game had come to stay and to be
deservedly the most important of
her athletic sports. But he had
ama-how a Igdf-qogratqlatory
feeling that he did not belong to
the team; he felt that, willing to
lend his moral and financial sup-
port, he would rather some one
else would do the playing for him.
He tried to think of the many ad
vantages offered Iby base ball, in
which he was thent deeply interest-
ed; its greater appar nt gentility,
its comparative lack of dau-r;, all
in all, it seemed a much nicer gamn
for a young gentleman to engage
in.

But fortunately our opinions are
not like the laws of the Medes and
Persians-a new session of base
hall six months in the distance, a
great college outburst of foot ball
entliusiam; and a year from the
time, the writer had stood on the
grand stand, and witnessed the
first contest for foot ball supremacy,
found him there again in a capacity,
however, that did not permit of a
seat on the grand stand.
Since then I have been found in
tne ranks of ball enthusiasts ready
to believe anything go x that is
said of the game, and to recent any
imputation on its character.
It has been my good fortune to
serve for nearly ten years in th;.
capacity of foot ball player, mana-
ger, and coach-to view the foot
ball question from the standpoint
of the student and the instructor,
to teach the same men on the grid-
iron and in the class room; and I
unhesitatingly make the statement
based on these exceptional oppor-
tunities for learning both the good
and the evil of the game, that I
believe foot ball stands to-day as
the greatest man-making game on
the American Continent. View it
f om any standpoint you please-
the physical, the mental, the moral,
I am prepared to say and attempt
to prove that it excites them all.
If you say that foot ball is com-

inculcate control of temper, and
restrain of passion--if you say it
is detrimenental to a man's studying
A a student, I challenge you to ex-
ami and.comnpare the average
record of the foot ball players
with the average of those who do
not play-iore than this, I assert
that on the basis of percent, there
are a large number of leading col-
lege ietn, leading students, princi-
pal officers, on the college foot ball
team than in the rest of the school.
I claim dW submit to the records,
that the men who play foot ball
make, as a whole, better grades
during foot ball months than dur-
ing the months of the session, due
to the regular habits required by
the training Code, and the activity
of mind that accompanies activity
of body.
I have no patience with the "arm
chair" foot ball critic-a self-ap-
pointed here, who, with dogmatic
self conceit, abuses a sport which
he has not had the opportunity or
perhaps the inc-!::ittion to investi-
gate. How often do we hear the
adjectives "brutal"--"degrad-
ing"-"dangerous" applied to foot
ball by persons who have never
even seen a foot ball or a gridiron,
or know absolutely nothing of how
the game is played.
How otten this year have we
seen in our newspapers, luid ap-
peals to the legislature and college
authorities to stop a sport, that to
note their tone, you would imagine
was as dangerous as a Boer regi-
ment or Japanese Squadron.
Legislation! what has a Legislature
to do with a college boy's sport?
It might as well arrogate to itself
to the right to stop bicycling, row
ing, base ball or any other sport
which does not impei il the public
morals. The Col,/g authorities are

not only an important but a legiti-
mate place inevery college coae.
I do not believein all work and no
play for the student, even if that is
the usual necessary lot of most in-
structors. I do not mean to be
understood as saying that athletic
sports should it in any way inter-
fere with the proper amount of col-
lege work and study, but I would
be understood to say I do not be-
lieve that these should in ter fe re
with a certain amount of athletic
sports. They should go hand in
hand-both important and neces.
sary, although by no means equally
so, both occupying a legitimate
place in the day, and in the
thoughts and hearts of the students.
The experiment of abolishing out
door athletics has been tried by
some few colleges, but let us re-
joice in that the light has again
dawned on most of them.
The game of foot ball trains the
mind and muscles together. The
movements of the game are as com-
plicated as any on the chess board,
which latter requires only the men-
tal efforts to be executed: a man
engaged in a game of foot ball is
taught the importance of perfect
obedience, and of combined and in
stantaneous action. It is not a
game where brute strenght alone
avails: a keen intelligence and an
indomitable courage must charac-
terize a successful foot ball player.
just as it must a successful general.
Foot ball is no game for a fool! To
the initiate the struggling mass of
men on the gridiron may appear
senseless-a man exhibitions of
brute force, but a slight knowledge
of the game reveals intricate com-
binations for offence and defense,
quick moving and shifting like the
colors in a kaleidoscope. The man
with the ball goes down, and a
mass of humanity are piled on top

man out of our students, stronger
in body, more accurate in mind-
men full of energy, euthuslam, and
an indomitable personal courage;
men not easily downed by obstacles
or opposition; who control their
tempers and restrain their appetites,
who can deal honorable with a van-
quisbed advermry, and can take
victory moderately and defeat with-
out bitterness; so long as I believe
that the game of foot ball does help
to make this kind of a man will I
feel honored by the title of a "foot
ball enthusiast." And as long as
foot ball properly controlled and
regulated helps the student in his
college duties, instead of hindering
him: gives zest and pleasure to
college life, make name and fame
lor the college on account of vic-
tories'won, not only by skill and
prowess of the team on the gridiron,
but by their gentlemanly conduct
in the streets of the town where
they play, in the hotel where they
quarter, and on the trains; so long
as it helps to bring about a closer
bond of sympathy between students
and members of the faculty by
creating an interest from the routine
dutlem-so long as in all these ways
the best interest of this and other
schools are advanced, and the cause
of education aided in its highest
mission, which is to make the best
men out of the material at hand, so
long will I say for the game of foot
ball, long may it live and prosper.

Death of Evagelist Sam Joes.

Sam P. Jones of Cartersville, Ga.,
preacher, lecturer and noted Evangel-
ist, died suddenly Monday morning
-Ahile on a train of the Oklahoma, Choc-
taw and Gulf Railroad traveling to
Little Rock, Arkansas, near the small
town of Perry. His death was an exact
fulfillment of a prophecy of his, as he
had often said in his sermons that he
would die either while in a pulpit or on
a train. As a newspaper writer his repu-
tation was second only to his renown as
an evangelist Mr. Jones was filling an
engagement with a lyceum bureau at the
time of his death and this would have
brought him to Florida during the win-
ter. Mrs. Jones and daughters were
with him at the tame.

Last Friday -*twer- eleven men
selected from the football quad, met the
GaineMvile towm eleven on the gridiron
at them bae ball park. The victory was
easy for the University, as from the
jump they kept the ball going their way.
Two touch-dowas were scored in the first
half, and one in the second. Only one
goal was kicked. Four touch downs
I were earned, but just as the two teams
lined up, and the squad had been called
for the ball to go the desired 'yard to
gain,' the half back fumbled and the
ball fell on the ground. In a twinkling
of the eye Clark, right half for the town
team, had the ball and was going down
the field. Outdistancing his pursuers
he planted the ball at the other end, and
scored a touch-down. Then a goal left
the game 16-6 for the University.

On Wednesday evening the good peo.
pie of the Baptist Chuach gave an in-
formal reception to the students of the
University at the beautiful home of Mrs.
R. Wilson on uast Liberty street. Many
of the students were present as well as
the majority of the faculty, and every-
body met everybody, and enjoyed the
evening to the limit.
Music was rendered by several of the
young ladies, and a quartette of young
men taved the gathering with songs
Mr. Carlo. Canova sang "Dearie," much
to the delight of his bearers.
When all wee present, ice creams and
cakes were served in the spacious dining
halls by the young ladies of the town,
and the quartette could not restrain a
stanza of "Home ain't nothing like
this." After refreshments and social
chats, a box of Universidad cigars found
their way to the center table and off
again one to each student.
At about ten thirty the reception was
over, and after expressing their thanks
for an evening so pleasantly spent to
Mr. Wilson and the r..aivinngcowlaittee,
the students 'barracksward' went their
way, only hoping that such good times a
were every day oc.urenrs.

All rounds of the ladder leading to
what our ideas hold as perfection seem,

most rounds, till once they are reached,
whereupon all the glory that had cluster-

me. At last when that long hoped for
day did come, my struggles were ended,
I was a glorious College Man, so I
thought. Alas, my happiness was only
to be for a week, but for that one week
I was as good, as great, and as educated
as any man alive.
0 blessed days! why were they destined
to end so soon! why coukl not that self-
exalted opinion have lasted always!
Simply because there existed a class, one
step higher, whose duty and pleasure it
was to take from me and my class that
self confidence, that unadultrated con-
ceit which (had not the Sophomore come
to my rescue), might have "ruint me."
But how painful was the operation that
was used! Such unmerciful, such awful
"ratting," mixed with speech making,
forced joke telling, and all the require-
ments of hazeiuy a Freshman. It is
not until one has attained the height of a
Sophomore that one can "see the sence"
in what happened to him the year be.

the good it does.
As you know, the purpose of College
hazeing is to take out the natural con-
ceit of every Preshmac; and surely it
serves its purpose. Let's have more of
It at our University! Let's have no
more of these Freshmen hanging on the
shoulders of Seniors.

Wasa, sir; The fust thing I knowed
some feller with more pads on than Sal
and looking as how he wa mad at
something, ran straight at a line of fel-
lers andkicked the ball as hard he
could drive it. Then all the fellers ran
together and jumped on the feller what

caught it-guem they didn't want him
to have it-but he wanted tt, so be ran
and was almost getting away when
somebody made a jump and grabbed
him by the legs and they fell down, and
all the others piled on like they wanted
to make sure of him. Then somebody
blowed a whistle, and they got up like
they were sorter satisfied with that
round, and before you could my scat,
they were all butting each other like my
old rams. One feller mid something
'bout 7 come 11 and that U business
Ted is always saying, and one feller
grabbed the ball under his arm and tied
to run away down the field to break up
the game, but another plucky little devil
grabbed him before he had got far and
throwed him down and all of them piled
on again-guess that feller didn't want
to run no more. All the fellers on the
outside were drunk and hollering and
the policeman must of had some too.
But the feller that was down hollered
"'dam, dam," and then they all got up
again. Guess they didn't like profanity.
Every time one little feller woukl
holler 7-11 fite, all of em would sure go
together.
When it was all over, I looked for Ted,
and he was over with a crowd hollering
about Bum licker and all that stuff.
Somebody had my hat and cane, but I
didn't care. I was so glad somebody best.
I'll sure see every football game I can.

De Debti Society.
last yer the University had two liter
ary societies. Both were small and un-
satisfactory. The students realizing
this, came together on the first Wednes-
day night of this school year, and com-
bined the two societies into one under
the name of the Dixie Literary Society,
providing for two factions to be known
as the Delphian and the Jacksonian.
The two factions are to debate against
each other at regular intervals, and some
spirited oratorncal contests are expected.
For president Mr. Samuel Sanborn, of
Carrabelle, was elected. The election
of other officers was deferred until the
next regular meeting, as well as the
adoption of the constitution and bylaws.
This paper will continually keep in
touch with the work along this line.
