TRINITY. Correspondence of The Observer. Durham, Nov. 23. Last Friday even ing, Dr. Edwin Mims, of the depart ment of English, delivered a lecture In the auditorium of the Durham High School, his subject being "Home of the National Traits of American Litera ture." This was the first lecture of a aeries that will be given each Friday evening in the school auditorium, by members of the faculty of Trinity Col lege, under the auspices of the city schools, which series will continue throughout the year. The lectures will continue throughout the year. The lectures will be free and it is expect ed that a large numbe of people will avail themselves of the opportunity of hArlng them. A large crowd was present at the first lecture. The next will be delivered by Dr. W. V. Few, dean of Trinity, on "The Formative- and Consoling Tower of Great Poetry." other lectures already ar ranged for the season are "A Greek Woman," by Prof. A. 11. Merltt, of the department of Greek, which will ba delivered November 29th. "Luther Bur- bank and Plant Breeding," by Dr. uau. ana nam wreeaing, Dy ur. i ffame. J Wolfe, of the department of : fclology, December 6th; "Living n Twi, Worlds," by Dr. W. I. Cranford. of the Worlds," by Dr. W. I. Cranford, of the department of philosophy, December 13th; "Two Hopresentatlvej of Moderr. German Ideals," by Prof. W. 11. Wsnnamaker, of the department of Uernmn. December BOth. From this programme it will be Been that the lectures will be both highly enjoyable and profitable. From the large attendance that thi first lec ture had It would appear that the peo ple of the city are going to .take ad vantage of this opportunity and that a great deal of value will result from the work. - At the recent meeting of the Asso ciation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Southern Stales, one of the most important questions con sidered and discussed was "Recent High School Legislation and Progress In the South." Two Trinity men, Dr. iirufe it. i'ayne, or the university of Virginia, and Prof. E. C. Brooks, of Trinity College, rend papers on this Important subject. In such a connec tion it will not be amiss to stale that Trinity Cpllege Is dying a great work In! the development of secondary edu cation, not only in North Carolina, but In the Southern States. Not to trm- tnerste the many ways in which the Institution and graduates of Trinity have assisted in this good work, It Is enough to say that at the beginning of this schoolastlc year two Trinity men began their work in this State as Drofessora in the dm.sr(mn nt orl. ttnn Vrr.f v n u,.h. i i f Vk. .,1.. .

Jerome, class of 1907, who has been connected with Trinity High School, in Randolph county since Its opening, last September, ha been elected headmaster of that Institution, and has already enured upon his du ties. While in college Mr. Jerome was a representative college man-and as a public debater won for himself an en viable distinction,, being one of the representatives who won the first de hate from Vahderbllt University in December, 1905. He la well fitted for his new position, although it Is one of Imuortance and responsibility: He is a man of strength and ability and the trustees of, the Institution have made a wise selection. ... . . Mr. Paul Webb ex-,06, who secured his license to practice law in North Carolina at! the' August Supreme Court examination this year, has decided to locate In Raleigh for the practice of his profession. He will become a member of the firm of which Cot. J. W. Hinsdale Is the senior member. Mr. Webb Is an exceedingly well-prepared man and his friends expect great success In hie career. At the recent session of the West ern North Carolina Conference N. 8. Ogburn, Jr., of the class of 1905, O. J. Jones, of the class of 1901, and E. 0. Cole, of the class of 1907, were admit ted on trial. Since graduation Mr. Ogburn has been connected with the Piedmont Training School, of Char lotte. Mr. Jones Is now connected with Rutherford College. Mr. Cole has been doing supply work since graduating last spring. It is reported here that Mr. Marvin Culbreth, class of 1900, will be one of the debaters to represent Vanderbllt College. While a student here Mr. Culbreth made a splendid reputation this year in her debate with Trinity ai t public speaker and debater, and it Is Interesting to know that he will go up against his alma mater this winter. A very interesting game of basket ball was played here Tuesday night by representatives of the college team and the Trinity Park School aggrega tion. Although it was a walk-over for the collegians, with a score of 55 to W in their favor, the game was not without Interest, and was enjoyed by a large number of spectators. The next game of basketball will be played here December 3d with Wake Forest College, and Thursday, De cember 5th, Trinity's team will go to Wake Forest to play a second game with that Institution. A great deal of Interest Is being taken in the game now and the games with the Baptists are being looked forward to with a great deal of speculation on the part of thoi-e who have witnessed games be tween the two colleges before.

Correspondence of The Observer. Davidson. Nov. 23. Bath the rain and the visitors have been something more thRn usual and certainly Deyona me or dinary for the last few days. Dr. Moore's visit, lecture and address were of course a source of great pleasure to those who, have known him nnd 'to the new college men who know him now for the - first time. Then, too, there was the brief visit of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Campbell, of Asheville, all too brief to satisfy their warm friends that abound in numbers about here, a Dr. Campbell Will always be remembered as one of the fine preachers whose pastorate has marked a point in the history of this church and his elect lady was always a "helpmeet" in the true sense. The ladles of the vil lage were fortunately having Thursday afternoon a meeting of one of the book clubs. Miss Julia Holt having the re sponsibilities of hostess, and thus were given the opportunity of holding in Mrs. Campbell's honor an Informal reception despite rain and weather. To-morrow the congregation will have the pleasure of hearing Rev. W. H. Mc Muster. D. D., one who Is a comparative stranger In tho town, but whose office hs field secretary in so Important a work us the American Sabbath Union Is under tklng must be a sufficient guarantee that that he will make fine addresses and give town and college something worth listening to and worth knowing. Rev. John Lafferty has boon In town several days this week, called here by tho illness of his aged mother. He left for Concord this evening to fill his pulpit to-morrow. The protracted rain has been disastrous to football practices for several day's post, and the men . are anything but buoyant over the fact that they have been forced to lose so much valuable time In getting In perfect trim for the Thanksgiving game With the V.

At present there are only two literary societies among the boys, the rtiilomathian and the Kuphe- miap, and one among the young women, the CaJlioneon. These societies meet twice a week, Friday nternoon and Fri day evening. The members in the Fhilo mathlan Society are divided into four clauses; those in the Euphemian into six classes. Both these divisions are unsatis factory for good results.. The exercises are too long, the members uo not nave enough work to do and consequently do not. manifest the zeal that is needed. One thing that crowds the rolls of these societies is that, membership is compul sory. If this continues to bo the rule another literary society must b organ ised in Erskine. - v While sneaklnc of the need for more campus room it will to of interest to note that the town Is now opening1 up a street acmes the northeast sldo ot the campus. ; This was . by far the prettiest Part of the campus. Several of the larg est and oest shade tree, have been cut down. It Is believe 1 by those who have the best Interests of the college at , heart that a great mistake has beon made in granting tbo town, this rlsht. This -was don by .the Synod whl-ih met here two years ago. Many of those who voted for he street i did not know . the damasre it would entail to Krsklne'e campus. This street' Is being opened up from the main street to. the depot, which to be lit the rear of the-college. Just Vit .the edge of the campus.

A petition Is being circulated among the boys to ask the faculty to allow tne manager of the hail team to secure Mr.; 61111 Laval for coach. It is under stood that Mr. Laval, who It will be re membered, made a winning team for Krskine last year, is willing ana anxious to come back. .

The ends, Sadler, J. O., Soifert and James, , are tjireo that could be pitted Rgalnst the ends of any other team In the South and do their college credit. They are perfect masters of tho forward pass and fierce tacklers. rather dying m their tracks than showing a white fea ther.
