ON TO RICHMOND!
Ourdefeat on Saturday counts
for nothing, it does not remo ve
us one step further from the
championship of the South, we
were not in it with a strictly
first-class team and such as Le
high, which ranks as the . fifth
best in the country but Thanks
giving Day we will be in it.
Now is no time for us to sulk
and swear that our team is no
efood. Our enthusiasm should
be more elastic, with less of the
gambler's faith among us, who
curses fortune for a fickle jade
when she ceases to smile on him
and turns his allegiance to a new
deit'. We don't want that faith
that gives up hope at the first
adverse turn of the wheel.
Above all don't go out on the
high ways of the world and pro
claim thai you are a University
man and that youcandidU think
our team is the worst set of bad
players you have ever seen.
You may gain a reputation for
candor but unfortunately it will
be of the variety commonly as
cribed to the animal with the
long ears, who the fable tells us
was especially gratified when
people complimented him on his
discernment in loudly proclaim
ing himself an ass.
Let every one that can go to
Richmond on Thanksgivingday,
as a duty you owe your Alma
mater and lets give the boys a
rousing send off when they come
on the field. It will be a good
' game, every one to the contrary
and we will win. Of course we
will, Victory or death! lor if we
fail to win, it will be the death
of that now fast growing spirit
of athletics aided of course by
the lack of college spirit, which
in itself is enough to chill the
warmth of the sun, were it pos
sible to do so. There is no col
lege spirit in that enthusiusm
that does not offend our oppo
nents. Remember that, we ha re
beaten Virginia by a score of 26
to 0, and we can beat her again.
If we don't it is vour fault, oart
ly, my readers, for your lack of
college spirit.
We have no cause to grieve at
Saturday's misfortune. We ma v
find in it the element of victory,
at any rate let our delegation to
Richmond be one of the largest
that ever left here to witness a
game.
When a man starts the cheer-
ing don't stop to imagine who
it is and whatheisyelling about,
but let every Carolinian in sound
of his voice, raise his little mod
icum of noise as though he and
the leader were one. Remember
that he is cheering lor the honors
of your alma mater and do like
wise. Keep your money in your
pocket but rest assured that the
'"Varsity" rushers will not go
down before the Orange and Blue
like ten pins in a bowling alley.
SOME MEN
There are some men in this
Universit who care nothing for
college matters; who are forever
complaining of, and criticizing
any enterprise whatsoever. We
have much to do with such
creatures. We see them every
day and we do not abuse them,
we pity them and nurture them
tenderly for should a breath of
adversity touch them their ex
istence would vnnish, and our
spring catalogue would miss sev
eral names. These delicate indi
viduals cannot even sustain the
consuming energy7 of an atom of
college spirit. Their physical
and psychical make up will not
admit of the strain caused by
encouraging the publication of a
University weekly. They cannot
see the need of contributing any
share ot influence or means to
the support of an agent which
voices students ideas' and senti
ments over -the surrounding
country and brings into promi
nent recognition their state in
stitution. May the shades of an
tebellum enthusiasts return from
their resting places, and watch
over these nature-freaks, these
milk and water products ot our
time. They know that the Tar I
Heel has seventy under gradu-!
uate subscribers and the' won-!
der that the management, with
such enormous patronage does
not issue a periodical equally in
terestingas "Truth" and "Town
Topics" and furnish numerous
holiday numbers to boot. While!
we cherish these exotics and jov
to reveal to such innocent realms
of thought and actionless action,
(for indeed it is a rest to see in
fantile purity and simplicity,)
we can not attribute the success
of our projects to them and
would impress upon them that
the credit of all that has this
year been done to the redown
ment of our University belongs
whollyto the faithful and loyal
minority who by indefatigable
endeavor and cheery assistance
have bt ought others to see the
beautv and realitv of doing.
One thing we are glad to notice
among the southern colleges,
that in the establishment of
weeklies. Nothing can better
indicate the progress of our in
stitution or give belter evidence
of student .spirit.. These.. little
sheets tell the outside world
what is being done a t homo and
present internal workings and
ideas as nothing else can. The
south has too long been satisfied
with old eaniculums and cus
toms. It is necessary to grow
ami to demonstrate that growth
toothers It is only a recent
thing, lhatcollege athletics have
been introduced - below Mason
and Dixon line, and who can
say that they have 'not proved
a potent factor in college affairs.
College journalism has not been
renovated by us but little. The
same old monthlies containing
essays, deplorable verses, alum
ni dots and current notes are
still in vogue. The weekly can
now allow the magazine to be
what it should, purely a literary
periodical giving the best results
of study and criticism by wthi lik
ing college men. The weekly
is almost a necessity and can be
made very helpful, if managed
in connection with the athletic
association. There are few
alumni who will not gladly sub
scribe to keep in touch for some
years with their Alma matter.
Those papers which have so far
come into our observation are
the Sewanee Times, Vanderbilt
Hustler and College Topics.
Are there others?

My dear sir: I do not know
who you are, but, most proba
bly, 1 do know you very well.
I have just heard that the
Hclleniun needs some money. If
the debt has not been paid. Mr.
S. Howard Smith, Pulaski Ave
nue and Logan Street, German
town, Philadelphia, Pa., will
send yon on demand ten dollars.
If you need more, please let me
know. Sincerelv vours,

Is there a single man in the
University, who knows Dr. Alex
ander, whose affections lb him
is not made stronger hy this let
ter. It was wholly spontaneous
and was a most pleasant sur
prise to the manager of the -f-'i-leian.
This is only a sample of what
our professor, and we still call
him our professor, is continually
doing. It shows that his love
for the University and its enter
prises is as strong as ever and
that he has them all at heart.
He justly deserves our wann
est affections.
