.hi J. T - A WW stus von Lie Dig, a nero 111 Science. jL The second of the Fortnightly I Faculty Lectures to take place this velr was on last Thursday night in X - TT 11 l LT 1 T-r -i- . t Qrard nail on j ustus v on L-i le- A Hero in Science," and was ivered by Dr. P. P. Venable. 3e began by talking of heroes in gc tierai and said that all men are 0 worshipers, science . holds tllse men highest who have served th :ir fellows, wh have made life h: 'her, sweeter and nobler. They ar : life toiler. All the world, he co itimied, "have' heard of the great I) sinarch, the Iron Chancellor and td night I wish to tell of a simple gintleman, a quiet countryman." Few men have had the influence ot work of this century as Justus V )fl Liebig. To my mind he stands 01 1 above all others in achieve ments, benefits and work. jLiebig was born of poor parents. flls father was a manufacturer of colors and in his workshop, the jdung boy got the very training he needed. In his school he stood low, bit gave proof of his accurate pow ers of observation. . In early age he As apprenticed to an 'apothecary aid there he tried experiments. He graduated from the Universi Bonn at the age of nineteen, rtjent to Paris and got work in a Iboratory. Idea seized, him of roviding laboratories for all those i ho desired. In Paris he met many ; eat chemists who were struck .lith his enthusiasm. At the age i 21 he was elected professor in a diversity. He started a laborra- ry aud began with two students. r. Venable traced many of the im- rtant periods in this great chem- i's life. He told of his discov- fies and how associated with oth- s he gave rise to Modern Organic ihemistry and Mineral Study. he first Agricultural station was gun by him and the first baking wders were from his laboratory. ,e published many books and wrote uchfor Magazines. Liebig believed in a Personal od and the immortality of the ml. He was a loyal friend, tender wsband and father and loved to lend time for others. In his later years honors were aped upon him by States and iountries and he died within a few ys of man's allotted time on earth, free score years and ten. Dr. ienable's lecture on this great ientist was indeed interesting and fofitable and very much en-joyed I quite a crowd of students and hers. Special! After the outside pages of this issue had gone to press it was learn ed that a game with the University of Maryland will be played on Tuesday next. This will be good news to all of us. Jn both societies the amended stipulations establishing the com petitive method of choosing repre seniatives in the debate with lieor giaand Vanderbilt were adopted j with practical unanimity. The Georgia debate takes place here i next March, and the Vanderbilt de bate in April at ' Nashville. Mr. Pearson of the firm of W. A. Slater, is at Patterson's Hotel with a full line of clothing. Messrs ''ill Gibson and "Bud" Means saw the Davidson game Saturday and stopped over at their homes on their return. Some Recent Foot Ball Scores. Yale 6. Wisconsin 0. Princeton 23. West Point 0.
