Met at Oxford, Miss. Dec. 21st.
The annual convention of the
Southern Intercollegirte Athletic
Association was held at Oxford.
Miss., Dec. 21st. Six colleges
wese represented, Cumberland
University, S. J. Gil breath; Uni
versity of Nashville, W. R. Payne;
Tulane University, John Lombard;
A. & M. College, of Mississippi, J.
L. Sessums; University of Missis
sippi, A. L. Bondurant; Vander
bilt Univ-rsity, Robt. L. Lund.
This was rather less than the
usual representation at the conven
tion. Dr. Dudley, President of the
Association, was absent on account
of sickness, and John Lombard
was chosen presiding" officer. No
very important matters came before
the convention, that of the great
est interest perhaps being the
adoption of the Eastern football
rules complete without the supple
mentary rules heretorore used by
the S. I. A. A.
Tulane University invited the
association to hold the annual track
and field meet at New Orleans, and
the invitation was accepted, as was
also that of the University of North
Carolina to hold the next conven
tion at Chapel Hill.
The election of officers resulted
as follows: For President, Dr.
Wni. L. Dudley, Vanclerbilt Uni
versity; Vice President. Prof. W.
M. Riggs, of Clemson College,
South Carolina; for Secretary and
Treasurer, Prof. " A. L. Bondurant,
University of Mississippi; members
of the Executive Committee, John
Lombard, Tulane University, and
Prof. Patterson, University of
Georgia.
It was the general opinion of the
convention that the association is
more prosperous and stronger at
the present time than ever before,
and that college athletic ; in the
South were never in better conditionEx.
Dr. Jones to Lecture.
We are glad to hear that Dr. J.
Wm. Jones is going to deliver one
of his excellent lectures next Thurs
day, Jonuary 17th. Most of us had
the pleasure of hearing Dr. Jones
lecture last year, and do not need
to be told what a pleasure is in
store for us, especially when we
know that he will have one of the
finest of his war ssubjects, "Lee
the Soldier." Dr. Jones is able as
an intimate friend and acquaintance
of General Lee, and as a deep
student of his lioe, to give this sub
ject a more authoritative, and still
a more sympathetic treatment than
any other living speaker. No one
should fail to take advantage of his
opportunity of hearing this lecture.
The Bi-centennial committee of
Yale has received $900,000 in sub
scriptions for the contemplated improvements.
., . Base Ball
; It is a little early in the season
to form any correct idea as to what
kind of a team will represent Caro
lina on the diamond this year, yet
we must admit that prospects are
very encouraging at present. Mr.
Earnest Graves has been appointed
Captain in the place of Mr. Graham
Woodard who did not return to
College this year and under his di
rection a strong team will probably
be developed. Mr. Tom Worth
has arranged an excellent schedule
of games, among them many of the
best baseball teams in the country.
; Messrs. Car r. Holt, Graves E.,
Donnelly, Graham, Willcox, Old
ham, Graves L., and Battle of last
year's team have returned and will
again play ball. iViany ot last
year's scrubs have returned and
there is plenty of good material
among the new students. Ar
rangetnents will probably be per
fected for the services of a coach
who will arrive in time to begin
early training, which will start
whh the weather permits.

represented on the track as ably
and successfully as she is repre
sented on the diamond and grid

THE SHAKESPERE CLUB.
The Shakespere Club held its first
meeting of the new century in
Gerrard Hall on Tuesday evening
at half past seven.
Dr. Hume, who presided as presi
dent of the Club, introduced the
first paper of the evening by speak
ing or the doubt existing in the
minds of some well imformed people
in regard to the existence of such a
person as Shakespere. However
something- is 1n:wn of the life of
such a person and among other
records of the great dramatist we
have several portraits. Of these
Mr. J. .W. Turrentine would speak.
j Mr. Turrentine opened his paper
on "The Face of Shakespere" with
the remark that a face is supposed
to be an index to a character. The
portraits of Shakespere are poor
as works of art. They are also
very different. The bust of Shaks-
pere as we are accustomed to name
the peculiar piece of sculpture is
is more likely a bust of King Lear
One artist painted him as Falstaff
mr. lurrentine accepted, the
Chandes. portrait as the best. His
face he minutely described. The
portrait should help us1 to know the
man. But in the Chandos portrait
there is contradiction. There are
lines which show characteristics
which we do not care to see in the
face of our idealized poet. But the
portrait may have been true to life
and the lines may have been traces
left by youthful misbehavior. But
we shall never be satisfied wilh a
picture of Shakespere because we
want more than a man in our por
trait of him.
The second paper of the evening
was read by Mr. J. Warshaw, in
structor in Modern Languages in
the Uninersity, on "Tragic Method
in Shakespere and in Racine."
"Every writer has a method. At
least we will see that like subjects
are treated in like manner.
The characteristic elements of
Tragedy are conventional. The
details are different. The Greek
introduced Tragedy and Aristotle
defined it.
Writers of Tragedy still hold to
the elements which Aristotle de
fined. Shakespere and Racine fol
lowed these elements. Shakespere
took characters as they were and
gave them to us as such, yet he had
a method. The secret lies in his
attitude toward hischaracters. He
takes an objective point. His, per
sonality does not enter his plays.
As an Englishman of the reign of
Elizabeth he brings into his plays

Young Men's
At present the prospects for an
exceptionally good team to repre
sent the University in track ath
letics is most encouraging-. Of
last year's team the following re
turned to college this year and all
of them will again go into training
and practice: Messrs. Mclver,
Burgess, Foust, Oldham, Rankin
F., Cates, Simpson, Thorp,
Berkely G., Osborne, Gudger,
Ramsey and Linville. These will
be augmented by a good many new
students, among them some re
markably good track athletes.
Mr. F. M. Osborne . is captain
and as soon as the weathei per
mits he will put the men to work.
Mr. Weeks, the gymnasium In
structor is an exceptionally good
man for the training of the track
team as he has had much ex
perience in this line of work and is
well np on the latest methods.
Mr. F. B. Rankin is Manager
and he is trying to complete ar
rangements for the team to enter
the Southern Inter-Collegiate con
tests which will take place in At
lanta during the Spring and in
which almost all of the prominent
Southern colleges will be repre
sented. As to what will be done
in the contest for the cup offered
by Mr. Horner and now in posses
sion of our team, is not yet defi
nitely known, as the State League
rules conflict with the S. I. A. A.
rules and some further arrange
ments will have to be made, before
we can compete with the State
Schools. But it is very probable
that these arrangements will be
nerfected and that the annual
track events will occur at Oxford blood and thunder, bombast and

situations. His sequence ot thought
is natural and the characteristic of
of his dialog-ue and his soliloquy is
reality; (2) He was a laborious
student of literary art, he labored to
make words stand for real concepts.
His fundamental principle is the ,
reaction of personality against ex
trinsic acts. Hamlet is an example.
All of Shakespere's tragedy's are
dramatic, i. e. they introduce irrel
evant characters by means of their
connection with relevant oers'ons.
Example, arrival of troop of actors
in nam let . Shakespere repre
sents in concrete terms the reaction
)f a person against circumstances
beyond his control though closely
affecting him. Yet in this struggle
diverse actions are so closely asso
ciated by the main action as to seem
ntegral parts of it.
