IS EXCELLENILy GIVEN
Program Was Better Than Usual and
Men Seemed to Take Greater
Interest.
The Philolo'gians secmeil to hit their
stride better in the meeting l.eld on
March 26. Owing to a series of im
portant events falling on their meeting
night, the jirograms of this Society
have been seriously interfered with and
the work held back for some time. Now,
however, it seems tliat the road is
clear and we are “all set’’ fo'r good
work the rest of the year.
II. A. Peele opened the program on
Thursday night by discussing the pros
pects of World Peace. Mr. Peele hasj
not only studied this problem thorough
ly but he is also able to give others
some interesting information concern
ing the prevention of future wars. “It
is necessary,” said he, “that all the
main world powers take full interest
and share in this enterprise for world
peace else we shall have no peace. Not
while our go'od America selfishly holds
aloof from this noble plan of humanity,
begun by one of the greatest of Ameri
cans, 1 speak of none other than Wood
row Wilson, not until the great America
lends her full hand of earnest co-opera
tion and puts her giant prestige behii'd
this order for w'orld justice can peace
come to the world. Then, and the:i
only, can we settle the quarrels of na
tions through intelligent common sense
instead of the ignorant and atrocious
experience which men call war.”
“A good speed or traffic cop steps
on the gas to -jirevent others from doing
that very thing,'* aci-ording to Mr.
Crawford in his description of a man
who could ably fill that office. Mr. Cor
bitt states that every man must keep
him!?(df fit if he does go'od work in his
calling. Since Mr. Corbitt is not yet
a great ball player he could not give as
;in .nutobiography but satisfied the com
mittee with an excellent account of on-
of his playmates, Ty Cobb. By a se
ries of comparisons and contrasts, !Mr.
Corbitt showed the Society a few dif
ferences between the celebrated Ty
and oii.‘ or two of Coaidi (’orboy’s men
“It is alleged'’ that Denton's jo-ke*;
were actually funny, but they really
were good. Lindley gave us some new
information on the life of that popular
writer, Booth Tarkington. His owr
storv is almost as interesting as som‘
that he writes. In a short debate the
af'lirmati\'e succeedeil in convincing the
judges that women should ']iot be al-
loT\'ed to work more than eight hour?
per day, although the negative team
made a hard fight before it would agree

With last week^s issue of the Maroon

career as elitor of our college paper.
Mr. Terrell has served on the staff:
for the past two years and lias filled

N. (’.• lie is a meml\er of the Senior
class and will be graduated this spring.
We view with regret his retirement
from college activities.
(Coach Y. B. Corboy)
When the Grim Eeaper took as toll
the life of P. Walter Camp, football
lost its most prominent figure.
Mr. Camp has been called, and right
ly so, the father of fo'otball. He has
done more than any one individual, and
jH'rhaps more than ever can be told, to
assist in bringing the game to the prom
inence it holds today. Wherever the
game is. or has been played, the name
of Walter Camp is a by-'word. He has
been the “Court of Last Resort’’ on
all debatable questions for a decade
and perhaps the greatest single author
ity of this branch of sport.
Not only has he been an authority
on football, but has been a follower
and a fosterer of all branches of sports
especially those of an intercollegiat'^
and interscolastic nature. He has writ
ten many valuable treatises coiLcernin-j
the several sports.
When Mr. Camp w^as called to his re
ward, s])crts in general, and football in
particular, lost one of the most enii
nent of its supporters, and so long as
the game remains, which it no'w seems
will be for many years, the name of
Walter Camj) w'ill retai]i that pre-emi
nence that so rightly belongs to it. Fu
ture generations will continue to laud
the name that ineaiis so much to those
among us who have been privileged to
know him personally.
Walter Cam]), a gentleman and a real
sportsinan, has ^one anti in his going
will be missed but tlie world in general
is better for his having been in it.

This week’s issue is the first for the
new staff that is just taking charge of
AEaroon and Gold. The staff was elected
the first of March and since that tima
has been learning something about the
managenjent of the paper.
M. G. Wicker, of Greensboro, N. C .
succeeds W. B. Terrell, of Burlington,
as editor. Mr. Terrell served as man
aging editor last year and was elected
as editor for this year. He w'ill bo
graduated in June.
Mr. Wicker is a member of next
year’s Senior class and very popular
throughout the whole student body. He
served as managing editor this year
and under his management Maroon and
Gold has maintained its standard of the
jiast, if not surpassing it in many res
pects. Mr. Wicker has labored faith
fully for the paper and has tried ,to
make it worth something to its read
ers. He has taken an active part
almost all activities of the college since
he became a student. This wide knovv-\
ledge of student life means that Maro'on
and Gobi will have at its head one that
will be able to understan.d and interijret
to other.s the affairs of the campus.
Howard Richardson,'of Suffolk, Va.,
l)ecomes managing editor to- assist Mr.
Wicker in the work of publishing tho
college paper. Mr. Richardsoii is a
member of tlie coming Junior clasp and
is well liked by all the students. He
has had a wide experience in the life of
the college. He has been a member of
the athletic teams, inteiested in debat
ing and oratorical work of all kinds. Ho
will no doubt be as successful in his
new work as in the many other things
that he has accomplished.
C. E. Xewman succeeds C. W. Gordon
as business manager. Mr. Gordon has
handled the business end of the paper
in a very creditable manner. He had
labored unceasingly in his efforts to
keep the pajier self supporting. Mr.
Newmaji has had training in the Busi
ness Department of the college and will
no doubt lie a sj^lendid person to carry
on tlie business side of the paper.
Brown Fogleman becomes advertising
manager of the paper. He succeeds G.
L. Holland in this work. Mr. Holland
has been one of the most efScient men
that has ever handled advertising for
the paper, lie has worked U}> some very
good advertising prospects for the i)a-
per. He was forced to leave school
some weeks ago' as a result of a bad
eye. He has since had the eye removed
but will not return to «ollege this year.
His valuable work on the i>aper was
ajipreciated by the students. Mr. Fogle-
nuin is entering upon his new dlitico
very ejitluisia^stically and expects to
keep up the good work started by Mr.
Holland.
E. W. Auman becomes circulation
manager, succeeding G. C. White who
has been the efficient circulation mana
ger of the past year. Mr. Auman is a
reliable student and has served loyally
in many positions. With Misses Sallie
Kate Ingram and Wiley Stout, and
Messsrs. S. D. Woo'die and J. E. W'^atts
as his assistants it is expected that his
department will function perfectly.
Mr. Newman will be assisted in his
department by R. M. Hook. Mr. Hook
has had considerable experience in office
