The campus n oeen a scene or quietude during the past week, and this condition will doubtless prevail until the 1st of Feb. vuary. when all examinations have oeen stood and the new term begins. Recitations were suspended last Sat urday and the period or examinations began the following Monday. To the surprise o; , quite a num. ber of students and. even others of the collea-e community the formation of a "Fortnightly Club" was announc ed through the college weekly last Wednesday. This organization has been In existence since last October, but for several reasons nothing had been announced concerning it until this week's Issue of The Trinitv Chronicle, the weekly newsnaner of the student body. The organization Is oi a literary and Journalistic nature, and while It Is connected In no way directly with other organisations In the community, nor encroaches on any of their territory, It comes to fill a long-felt 'heed among the students of a literary turn? and has a separate and distinct purpose of its own. Dr. Edwin Mims, of the depart ment of. English . literature, who is very much interested tn the original work of the students along literary lines, Is Its founder. The formation and growth of the club are the re sults of this enthusiastic interest of Dr. Mims. He, soe;ng and feeling the urgent need of a cIud of this sort in which the art of writing among Trinity students could be fostered and stimulated and encouraged, called to gether a number of those most prom- inently interested in work which the club emphasises, and the formattori of the organization was the result. All the suggestions made by, him were enthusiastically received hv a. half. dozen young men who composed the number; Orst consulting with him on,1 tH,k ........1.. til. I 1 Imously adopted ana an informal or ganization perfected. The club was to meet once" In : every two weeks, and the name "Fortnightly Club" was given it. The gatherings are very inrormai ana every member of the organization, is expected to take some active part in the meetings. The lat est books are discussed, articles arM magazines of literary interest com mented on, original essays, stories, poems, etc., are read and frankly and honestly criticised; talk, and sug gestions on topics or literary Interest are made by various members of the club, and. ways and means to raise the standard of literary work among Trin ity students are considered. The mem bership of the club so far been limited to members of the graduate department and the senior class, and those who are memwers at this time are: Dr. Edwin Mims. and Messrs. W, A. Bryan E. R. Franklin. J. A. Morgan, H. E. Spence, W. W. Car son, L P. Wilson, W. A. Stanbury, Pierce Wyche, L. 3. Carter. A, 8. Berghauser W.-H. Sanders, 8. A. Richardson Gilmer Korner, Jr., L G. White and J.,C, Wlnslow. For various reasons if tt tnousht by the organization that ' it is hf tn limit i us memoera iu me lounr men. or these two departments; Those who are connected with the club speak In the highest terms of the profit there Is In it for its members, and the meetings ana discussions are reported to be , mgniy instructive and interesting! It is the consensus of opinion of those interested in the worK which the clu.b Ihere was a delightful gathering of proposrs to do that it will soon be alyoung people at the home of Miss real ppwer on the camous and will have great Influence in developing the literary talent of the communi. ty. ' The department of education, at the head of which is Prof. E. C. Brooks, has ordered a large number of books on education and teaching. These have- been received and" are now being catalogued by Librarian Breed love and his corps of assistants. The list is a large one and contains a well-selected library on the history of education. Including, as. far as pos sible to obtain, . the best work on ancient education among the Asiatic people end on ancient, mediaeval and modern Europe, it also includes the history of education in America and the States. , In addition to these there can be found among the books an almost complete .collection of the educational classics, Brora the time of Confuscius to the modern iera. When all have been received and classified Trinity students will have ac cess to a splendid collection of edu cational works one perhaps not to be surpassed in any Southern col lege. These are for the uste of the college students and for the teachers of Durham and Durham county, who are taking work in the college. Many of the books ordered are not published In America, and it will take some time-to complete the list. It is being added to. however, from time to time, and It is the purpose of the college to add the best orks on education to the library, and to keep up with modern thought on all educational questions. There has also Just been received f by- the library a largs . number' of books for use In the law department. They are mostly In sets or are supple, ments to books already received . Some of the most Important ones are: The United 8tates Statutes at Large, 22 volumes, covering all en actments - of Concress. " New York. Massachusetts. Michigan, and -North Carolina reports have also been brought ud to date. In addition to these Ohio reports, containing 76 vol umes r New jersey law reports. 70 volumes. New' Jersey equity records, 70 volumes, and - Wisconsin reports. 1J0 volumes, have been received. This shipment has been placed In the suck room with the academio books, but as soon as adequate shelving has been arranged the books will be re moved to the part set aside for law books. . t Quite a , number of arc lights has been ordered for the - college. and as soon as they have been re ceived they will be placed In position over the campus. Tne lights to be arranged on the college campus will doubtless be placed between tha buildings, and will add greatly to the 1 campus at night.- It is understood that they will be kept burning throughout the night. Prof. J. C. wooten. of the de partment of Biblical literature, deliv ered a lecture before tne Men's Broth erhood of the First Presbyterian church, this city, Wednesday even ing. Mrs. D- W. Newson returned to the campus last Fmay after an ex tended visit to relatives and friends at Wbltakers. She was accompa nied by her sister, Mrs. Braasweil, who Is spending several days with her? - A few of the students have been suffering with grippe during the past week. There seems to be quite an epidemic of the disease in these parts. ' It Is reported that the college book room has sold since the opening of colles-e last September between 2,200 and 2,200 text-books to the students, and it Is estimated that about one- -.COLLEGES third of the books used by the etu Jens are second-hand.

The town and campus was in darkness again last night from shortly after 1p.m. The cause was the bursting ot the pump that supplies water to the boiler at the sower house, an unavoidable ac cident and one against which no pro vision can be made. The stopping of the en&ine, of course, cut off the steam so that the occupants of both the Rumple and Watts dormitories had not only to shut up their books (a thing which hardly occasioned the majority any great flood of tears) but had- to hie themselves to bed In order no to freeze. Supt Thomas Hall started out this morning almost be fore day, by private conveyance, for Charlotte to get the necessary repairs so that the plant might be put in op eration as early as possible to-day, His mission proved 'successful and at . v. i - , ... , ... l . this writing in the eany evening "the lights are on" and all goes well once more. 1 This afternoon another of the Inter class games was "pulled off." this one being between the sophs and fresh. It was a most evenly matched affair, neither side scoring In the first half, 20 minutes, and the rtory repeating Itself in the second, -"George Wilson, Jr., of Charlotte, Is captain of the sophs, and also playing quarter. Hunter Is captain of the fresh, Joseph P. Moore playing quarter. The game was witnessed by a Dig and enthusias tic crowd, the reotlng being spirited and the playing "fast and furious." The cold excited the onlookers to yell and stirred the two elevens to keep on the go at a lively puce. A number of visiting youn ladles were to be seen on the side lines, dividing their attention between the group of stu dents that hung around their vehicles and those that wer tn the "scrim mage." Rev. D. J. Woods, the pastor-elect, arrived here Friday evening and will preach at both , services to-morrow. He is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Mar tin nominally and practically of the congregation in general. To-day he was entertained at a boautiful course dinner by .Dr. and Mrs. Harrtwn at which wer present several gentlemen to meet him, i Ma c. A. Munroe, of Hickory, Is in town visiting relatives. Misses Graves, of Carthage, and White and Cottingham. of South Carolina are the guests of Miss Maude Vinson. Mario Sloan last evening, the occasion heing & "colonial party," given under the auspices and direction of the Merry-go-round Club. Antique cos tumes with all the necessary para, phernalla for their proper adorning were worn by the fifteen or twenty couples. The guests were cordially welcomed by the hostess, assisted by Miss Susan Summere. and shown Into the parlor attractively decorated in colonial style and furnished with a variety of antique articles. The par tic I pants in the festivities of the hour formed themselves into a mutual ad miration society fof the first few min utes, each greatly pleased with the sights to be seen about and around each other. The costumes were got up with a great deal of skill and clev erness, the old-fashioned gowns being quite beautiful. The lavish display of lace, the knee trousers of the gallants wth their silver buckles and the pow dered heads all served to give a gen uine colonial look to the scene. After a general and generous In spection of each other on the part of both sexes, tha gentlemen were pre sented with numbered cards and took their places before a curtain In the hall. Each gentleman as his number was called proceeded to make a ran dom selection from the line of feet in colonial attire, Just In front of him. tne toes of these feet being Just vlsl ble' beneath the curtain. The owner of one of these pairs of feet, shod In tne aroresaid colonial style, then pre sented herself, and the couple retired to the parlor. Her each couple was presented with a booklet, containing descriptions in verse oi twenty-one persons and places of fame In colonial times, the names of which were to be guessed. The Initials of the names taken In their order were found to spell 'Jamestown Tercentenary." Three of the couples tried for first place In this contest, but upon drawing straws the prize, consisting of two handsome pictures of George and Martha Wash ington,' was awarded to Miss Susan summers and Mr. J. W. -Weathers. The prize was presented with appro prlate remarks by Dr. J. P. Munroe. Next In order was a similar presen tation of cards to the ladles, who also made a choice of partners. This time, however, each gentleman " presented the end of a necktie over the top of the curtain and each lady as her num ber was called chose on of the ties.' The couples thus arranged were ser ved "delicious" refreshments, refresh ments of the kind to rive the lie tn the old saying that wise men eat only that they may live. No one of the company as he or she said good night could not be charged with the base fault of Ingratitude ror the privilege of .being a member of the evening s circie, or as oeing even laintiy una p. preciative of the clever way In which the whole entertainment had been carried through.

Noble has returned from Chapel Hill, where he went to stand an examination for the Rhodes scholarship. ' ' . A new species of entertainment for the boys ha3 arisen. The llor. ner School menagerie .made Us p. ptarance last Monday night and for several minutes nothing could tw heard except the roar of a lion, the whinny of a horse, the bark ot a do, the bray of a donkey and the othr sounds peculiar, to animal l.le.
