In arranging for tickets, don’t forget the one to Elon College next Septem- bfi. Coming back next yearl Sure! ■ Wby can’t we have a “campus day” on which all alike both students and fa culty shall unite in an effort to beau tify our campus and make it more at tractive. The custom is a ost popular one in a number of the leading colleges and it would seem might he adopted with proht here. i Another inovat:on that might be made in the athletic department is the creation of an oHice of “property man”— one who should l>e in control of and be re- si'onsible for all athletic goods and other |iro]ierty of the association. Heretofore the different managers have had supreme cmtrol of all goods of their several de partments. Xow it seems it would be a good i>Ian to make one individual respon sible for all goods, have him keep a sign ed receipt of all such given out and re quire same to be returned in at the close of any given season. Y. W. C. A. It was with pleasure that we had with us :n the V. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon 'tiiss Emily J. Bryant, of New Y^ork City, who lectured to us on “The higliest type of Christian Womanhood.” It is indeed glorious privilege to have with us sucli intelligent woman to speak to us and to give us ideas by which we can reach to the ideals which we have before iis. Miss Bryant says that ignorance of the Bible is what keeps so many men and women from reaching the highest type of Christian manhood and womanhood. There are so many of us who spend the days in reading magazines and novels. Yet we say that we do not have time to read the Bible. Then how can we expect to be anything but ignorant of it when we do not read it ourselves, and even when we go to Church or Chapel service and hear others read it we sit and talk not realizing that it is the Word of the liv- IH E KL.ON COLLE 0 ing Savior. 1 call it a poor sort of a Christian who cannot spend at least one half hour each day reading and study ing the Word of God. How much easier to do His will if we know what it is, and how can we know His will unless we read His Word ! Christ said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.” How sweet to think that though it shall stand forever it is a story that ne\er gTOws old. So let us determine just now to read the Bible more each day :,nd endeavor to spread the glad tidings to every heart remembering that w are “Only remembered by what we have done. ’ ’ Sudie G. McCauley. WITH THE CLIOS FRIDAY EVENING On Friday evening, last, tlie Clio So ciety had its last literary meeting for this scholastic year. The program for the eve ning was indeed interesting and instruc tive as wewll. The boys realized that is was their last opportunity for a few months to come together in the old Clio Hall and discuss questions of the day. They entered into the very deepest spir it of society work and showed to their fellow-members the interest which they have in society training and development. The preliminary part consisted of sev eral items of importance; but the two most important ones were “The Life of William Cullen Bryant,” by Mr. E. T. Cotten; pn oration, by Mr. H. B. I^aw- rence—his subject being “IjOyalty. ” Mr. (’otten gave a very interesting sketch of Mr. Bryant’s life. He told us of his birth, where it occurred, how he was rear ed, and the fame he afterwards won. When he was only seventeen years of age he wrote “Thanatcpsis. ” the noblest verse produced in American up to that time. This great producuon made him famous as a poet. Mr. Lawrence deserves much cerdit for his oration. He has some oratorical pow ers and he put them forth in his produc tion. , Tlie debate for the evening was indee 1 lively. The question resolved itself thus: “That the Federal Government should pay damages to all innocent men who ar» convicted on circumstantial evidence to jienal servitude.” The affirmative argued that they should he paid damages because their rights of citizenship after having served in the penitentiary. Furthermore thye advoca ted that if it is right for old soldiers who served several years in the war to draw pensions, it is nothing but right to pay damages to innocent men who have serv ed in penitentiary. The negative argued that in the first place it is the State's business to look af ter this matter, and not the United States.’ Thty also argued that the inno cent person who is convicted is very of ten one that engages in bad habits and associates with bad company. And if he is not y>aid damages for penal servi tude, it will teach him a lesson whicli will help him guide his future life. Mr. C. B. Riddle was the strongest de fence for the affirmative and winning side. F. F. Myrick was the strongest de fense on the nesrativ'e side. The best speaker oratorically was Mj. H. B. Law rence. E WEEKLY. This being the evening for us to decide as to who should be the winner of th» improvement medal, it was decided that it should go 'to Mr. W. A. Trivette. However the decision was very close indeed. If we had had at least a half dozen medals to have given, I am sure there wouldn’t h'"’ been too many, for Ihis year. C. S. Y. M. C. A. The subject tonight was very appropri ate. It was based on the 27th Psalm, and was, ‘ ‘ Have a Purpose. ’ ’ A goodly num ber s])oke on the topic and brought out many helpful and instructive suggestions. One very good suggestion was that we should purpose to serve God by reading His Word daily. We should serve our our fellow-man by doing deeds of kind ness and speaking words of love that will encourage them. The number present tonight was not as large as usual awing to the fact that trust that »ve will have a full hall next time as it will he the last meeting of the year and we wa»it to make it as good as possible.
