He introduced the different (jeulty members who spoke on the life ,f the War President. 0t. T. C. Amick talked first of Wil- lOB as a military loader, asserting that Wilson was preeminently a man of peane, and that as such he did all he (Oiild' to avert war. ‘ ‘ Once having leen that war was inevitable,” the jpe.iker continued, “Wilson directed tlie army, navy and nation with the true heart of a born leader. ’ ’ Professor 0. W. Johnson followed with some of tlie personal incidents of the War President, He told of the former President’s college days at Da- riJson College, University of Virginia ind Princeton University. He then brieflv traced Wilson’s activities dur ing Ms administration ns Governor of 1,'ew Jersey and as President of the I'jited States. "Wilson as a Historian” was the (ubject of Prof. P. S. Kennett’s brief (iilogy. Professor Kennett mentioned leveral historical and political books that Mr. Wilson had written, declar- iig that the most of them rank as clas lies. Dr. W. P. Lawrence spoke on “Mr. Wilson as an Idealist,” declaring that the ex-President’s ideals were world wide, and that with .such ideals he was received warmly in the Old World.

Dr. Lawrence opined at the close of his talk that the time will come when those who opposed the policies of Mr. Wilson will be for gotten, while the ideals and conceptions of this great man will live on forever. Professor H. Babcock discussed Mr. ^Vilaon as a master of expression, and as a scholar, stating that Mr. Wilson was the only Ph. D. man to enter the President’s chair of the United Spates. He stated that the style of English used by Mr. Wilson had been approach ed by only one other President, Thomas Jefferson. It was a pleasure, Profes sor Babcock stated, to notice that the War President never wrote slovenly documents, letters or proclamations in the rush and turmoil of the war, but ever maintained his clear, lucid and forcible style of -writing. Mr. Wilson’s influence, the speaker concluded, had redounded to .the benefit of the entire teaching profession. Dr. Harper closed the meeting with a few complimentary remarks about Mr. Wilson, stating that the phrase coiued by him, ‘‘The rising tide of al truism swelling in the hearts of men,” indicated his chief characteristic—love and generosity toward mankind. After the third one of Mr. Wilson’s favorite hymns, “How Firm a Foundation,” was sung by the audience, Dr. N. G. ‘N'ewman offerod prayer. At this service the students voted to send resolutions of appreciation and respect to the bereaved family of Mr. Wilson. PROF. KEiETT SPEIIKS AT CHAPEL liRSDAr Head of History Department Speaks on “The Revolutionary War in North Carolina.” DEBATE FEATURES ON PSIPRELIAK PROGRAM Tariff is Subject for Discussion—Misses McLean, Dimn and Oliver Are Mentioned for Good Work. The Psiphelian' Literary Society presented last Wednesday evening an interesting program dealing with sev eral subjects. The first number on the program was an able and helpful discussion on “Politics at Home,” by Mi^s Ola King Cowing. Her paper was well prepared, and she brought out her points clearly. The next munber was a debate, “Re solved, that a protective tariff is much more beneficial than a revenue.” Misses McLean and Caston upheld the affirmative side, while Misses Sallie Mac Oliver and Nannie Sue Dunn spoke for the negative. The afiirmative argued that the gov ernment should not collect revenue at the expense of the people. They also stated that we should have a protective tariff to protect our industries from foreign nations. On the other hand, the negative first defined the two terms, “revenue” and “tariff.” They contended that in hav ing a protective tariff all the people had to suffer a certain extent. If the foreign countries cannot sell us goods cheap enough, we must get them else where. Then, too, it was argued that the American manufacturer is getting rich from these duties levied on im ported goods, and that the great num bers of common people are helping to do it. The judges decided in favor of the negative. “International Current Events” were given by Miss Chiyo Ito. Miss Ito gave the news from all sides, together with some timely suggestions. Miss Grace Brewer read a synopsis of “The Cop and the Anthem,” by 0. Henry. This is a typical 0. Henry story and was enjoyed by the society. Miss Louise Homewood read a choice selection of Edgar A. Guest’s poems. Special mention was made of the work of Misses McLean, Oliver and Dunn in the debate. Miss Fern Greene, of N. C. C. W. visited Miss Louise Homewood at Elon Suaday afternoon. Misses Beulah Hammer and Lyde Bingham visited in Greensboro the past week-end. At the regular chapel service Thurs day morning, Professor Paul S. Ken- nett, head of the history department of Elon College, addressed the students and faculty on “The Revolutionary War Here in North Carolina.” Beginning w'ith the conditions exist ing here in the state between Governor Tryon and the people. Professor Ken- nett traced the war briefly through out the years, leading up to the sur render of Lord Cornwallis to General Greene at Yorktown. The part that such men as Edmund and David Fan ning, Hugh Waddell, David Caldwell, John Gillipsee and others played was mentioned. Several humorous incideats were related. It was Edmund Fanning, of Hills boro, N. C-, who charged such enormous prices for performing legal duties that it was said of him that “ho literally laced his coat with gold.This, ex cessive taxation, and other similar cir cumstances, led to the organization of the Regulators W'hich terminated in the Battle of Alamance, which was fought near here. However, the Regulators were' defeated. David Fanning did many treacherous deeds, finally escaped to Canada; later returned, committed a terrible crime, but afterwards was pardoned by King George for being a faithful Tory. John Gillipsee was a man feared by the Tories. One day a band of Tories went to the home of David Caldwell, a Presbyterian minister, to arrest him; but, upon hearing Gillipsee^s name men tioned by Caldwell’s sister the Tories fled. iVELISTS AND POETS PSKKALEONS' SUBJECT Program Consists in Study of Contem poraneous Writers—^Mrs. Cannon, Misses Foster and Howell Best.

WEIGLE OF YALE ADDRESSES STUDENTS HERE FRIDAY MORNING (Continued from One) trusted those who heard Him to inter pret His teaching in the spirit and not in the letter. Jesus was an ideal teacher because of the genuinely live way in which He taught. He was an informal and un systematic teacher. Each lesson was independent and unsystematic because it w'as vital; Christ was engaged in teaching men, not subjects. He lived with the people He taught and spoke out of the fulness of His mind and heart as the occasion presented itself. Jesus had faith in His pupils. He had many reasons to be discouraged, but He was wdlling to leave His "work to his dull class. He has no plan for the salvation of the world except 8oo PREPARED SPEECHES 800 15-Minute prepared speeches, orations, essays, debates, addresses and lectures on thefollowingsubjects: Finance, Education, Religion, Political and Social OccaBions, speeches for Ban quets, Church Societies, Club Talks, Re unions and Anniversaries, After-Dinner Talks, Noon-Day Lunch Talks, Debates for all occasions.
