1 RIDAV, APHIL 5. 1912.
A short year ti) nil but the loafer.s.
Eastern Ciillege. of .Masassas, Virginia,
has the eighty j>ercent requirement for
baseball men also. \\ ould that all col
leges wh.ch have to meet in an athletic
way had the same thing. No leaguers,
no paid men, and every one making a de-
c nt grade is a mark worth working
for by any college team, and then it is
only a matter of a few years until all
colleges of any standing will have such
regulations. In fact, we believe the
time is at hand when all f>ersons inter
ested in real college ball will agree that
college baseball and ‘*rin^' us” make a
most unpler,.-iant. undesirable and rather
suspicious combination.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The Y. M. A. meeting Saturday eve
ning was short owing to services in the
cha(>el. But though short it was enthus
iastic and helpful. Mr. F. H. Anderson
was the leader. Using as a subject “Pa
tience” Mr. Anderson sjioke in a clear,
forceful manner that carried his hearers
with him. Showing how the great inven
tions such as the telephone, telegraph,
harnessing electricity, etc., were brought
about through the unlimited patience of
men, the leader proved that it is a valu
able asset to the character of men if
they are to accomplish anything in the
world.
Interest in the Y. M. A. continues,
and we hope it will grow to be even great
er than it now is. The Y. M. C. A. is
doing a work which no other organization
can vlo. It is reaching men who could
not be reached in any other way. We
hoj>e the time will soon come when the
men of Elon ('ollege will realize the great
ness of such an organization and will
join a band that is doing such a great
w'ork and proving such a blessing to man
kind. F.
IN THE PHILOLOGIAN HALL FRI
DAY EVENING.
The program was well prepared and
rendered with interest an! enthusiasm.
There were some excellent original i>a-
pers on some of the live subjects of the
(lay, some bubbling with w'it and humor.
A number of good oiations were delivered,
which showed that our boys are at work
in earnest, llr. K. A. Atkins won the
laurels in oratory for the evening'.
Ihe debate was a heated discussion
throughout. The debaters seemed to get
into the spirit from the tirst and each
one entered into the discussion with zeal
and vim. The question was, “Resolved
that denominational colleges otfer better
advantages than state institutions. The
affirmative maintained that in the small
er colleges students came into more di
rect contact with the professor than in
the larger state institutions, and not only
did they get nearer the professor, but
that there was a Letter social spirit amonu'
the students. It was also shown that in
the larger institutions much of the work
in the lower classes was done by the up-
|-er classmen who served as tutors aii’l
were not qi'.alilied to give as good instruc
tions as the professors who tauglit all
llie classes in smaller colleges. Manv of
the states haie recognized this and in
stead of supporting a large state insti-
tutum, help to support the denominatiim-
al colleges. .\Ir. J. Stewart in a clear
and logical manner was the ihampion
for the atlirmative.,
1 he negative and winning side made a
strona- defense for the state institutions.
It maintained that the denominational
colleges were small and weak. That the
majority of them iid not hax'e sufficient
funis to have the necessary e|iiij)ment
essential for hest w.,rk. That in many
cases their doctrine was narrow and pre
judiced. That in most cases it was neces
sary to employ weak and inc(>mj)etent
men in the faculty on the account of the
scanty funds. It was argued that a man
f. om a state institution had more behind
him when he went out to se-ure a }>osi-
ti(m. that the state institutions were rec
ognized every where by everybody when
that was not always the case with the de
nominational colleges.
Mr. W. H. Fleming was the best speak
er for the negative. ,J. S. Truitt.
