imagine President MeKintey has
enough on his hands already without
being troubled with telegrams from
college students.
In this tension of excitement,
when our people are watching- with
breathless anxiety the lowering
storm cloud that threatens to break
with all its fury on our nation, the
little village of Chapel Hill and the
University are quietly pursuing
their wonted course, and calmly
awaiting- the results. Believing
in the wisdom of our national offi
cers, we feel that we shall not be
hurled into a war that is unjust,
nor vet allowed to see our flag" dishonored.
If peace is preserved, we shall
thank God for it; if we must hg-ht,
none are more ready to doti their
martial garb than are the sons. of
the U. N. C.

Saturday's game with Wake Forest
was our first game away from the
home grounds this season. The same
coolness which has characterized our
players on the home diamond was
manifested, and the game throughout
was a splendid exhibition of team
work. .
A box for the use of the Press Asso
ciation has been attached to the door
of the Bursar's office, where the Fac
ulty and others may place any item
of news they may wish to appear in
the public print. This arrangement
was mentioned in the Tak Heei.
a week or so ago, and we call atten
tion to it again because little use has
been made of it so far. Items placed
in the box will receive the prompt at
tention of the members of the associa
tion. Those who come in possession
of any news connected with the Uni
versity that would be of interest to the
people of the State are urged to write
out the same and drop it in the box.
In looking over some old Univer
sity Magazines we were struck
with the abundance of poetry in al
most every number. Most of it is
'"'''.
passable and some of it is really
good; at any rate, it adds greatly
to the readableness and attractive
ness of the Magazine. The present
editor would be glad to have such
contributions from the students, lie
tells us, but they rarely ever sub
mit anything- of that nature to him
Anion'- so man v students as we
have in the University there ought
to be. some poetic talent. If there
are those who can write verses they
aeem wortny or publication let
them not hesitate to hand them to
the Magazine editor for fear he will
not publish them. He will be only
too glnd to receive contributions of
this nature, and will publish any
thing of merit.
The war fever has infested some of
the colleges of the country. The La
layette students made a rousing anti-
Spanish demonstration the other day,
and sent the President a telegram assu
ring him of their support The Sewanee
boys also recently gave veil t to their
patriotism in a mass meeting of the
student body, winding up by address
ing a message to Mr. McKinley urging
him to action. This is a good way for
tuese colleges to attract attention and

New Orleans,
Mar. 21st, 180S.
Owing- to the visitation of the yel
low fever with which our South
land was afflicted, the opening- of
Tulane w as delayed until the 29th
of November. The faculty deemed
it advisable that, to make up for
the time lost, the working- week-
shall le increased by the addition
of Saturday, which hitherto had
been out most cherished holiday,
being-free from the restraints of the
Sabbath. .
Owing- to the lateness of the sea
son when colleg-e opened, it was im
possible to put a foot-ball team in
the field to represent Tulane.
However, the inter-class league
flourished and some very g-ood and
exciting-games were played. Nin
ety-eight won first place with ninety-nine
a close second.
With the advent of spring-, inter
est in the great national game of
base-ball has revived. The inter
class league has already finished its
schedule, ninety-nine winning first
piace. Now that the class games
are over, a move has been started to
get up a schedule of games between
the fraternities. This plan, as far
as we can see, will be very success
ful, as there are eight fraternities
represented at Tulane, the schedule
will be well filled. The captain of
the 'Varsity baseball squad is Mr. Ed.
L. McGehee, Jr. and Mr. Louis A.
Landry occupies the important posi
tion of manager; Mr. Landry has al
ready arranged for games with Uni
versity of Alabama and is now consid
ering oilers from "Auburn, Virginia,
Baton Kouge, Sewanee and others.
Judging from present prospects our
baseball nine will be the strongest
lane and will make other teams bus
tie.
Our athletes have already begun
training for the .spring games which
are to come off early in May. The
games are given on our own campus
Our grandstand easily seats 2500 peo
ple and our quarter mile track is all
that is to be desired. Our spring
games have always been attended with
pronounced success and the outlook
for this year is as bright as ever.
Tennis at Tulane is represented by
the Tulane Tennis Club and the Nine
teen Hundred Tennis Club. Each
club has a good membership and very
enthusiastic support.
We have only one literary, the Glen
dy Burke. Its membership is large,
and splendid work is done. The Hall
is ia the third story of Gibson Hall,
and is well and lavishly furnished.
The Society meets every Saturday
night and spirited debates on impor
tant questions of the day are held.
The program outside of the debate,
consists of an oration and a declama
tion. The meetings are often attend
ed by outsiders, who invariably go a
way favorably impressed.
This Society held their anniversary
exercises this vear ori January 8th.
and enjoyed a well-merited success.
At this exercise the medal for elocu
tion was given to Mr. George Howe,
of the Class of 1901, although he had
worthy opponents in the persons of
Messrs. J. B. Monroe, 'W, W. F.
Black, '01, and Alfred Jacoby, '.
The medal for debate went to Mr.
Francis L. Kohlmau, of the Class of
1899, who had foeraen worthy of his
steel in Messrs. H. S. Badger, '8, II.
II. Chaffe, '98, and Wm. B. Grant.
The oratorical medal? was-. given to
Mr. George H. Terriberry, '98, who
was worthily opposed by Messrs. D.
II. Trepganier,-'99 and Wm. Crooks,
9 V e are now preparing for., the
Gulf States Oratorical Contest.
The Field of Journalism at Tulane
is occupied by three publications, the
"Olive and Blue", a ' weekly newspa
per; tne " l uiane Loiiegiun , a bi
monthly of literary pretensions and
the "Jambalaya", our annual.
At Tulane, the relations between
faculty and students'is.one of deep re
spect and affection, on the one hand
and courteous friendliness on the oth
er. Just recently the faculty and stu
dents have been drawn nearer together
in lamenting their joint loss of Ashley
D. Hurt, professor'of Greek, who pass
ed away from'us on the tenth of this
month, a loss felt not only by Tulane
but by the community at large.
In spite of the crippling blow deat
us by Yellow Jack, the attendance a
Tulane is about as large as it ever
has been. The students are regulated
by the honor system. Each class e
lects officers, President, Vice President
and Secretary, every term, and the
officers of all the classes constitute the
Academic Board, the President of the
Senior Class being ex-officio Presi
dent, the President of" the Junior
Class, Vice President, and the Presi
dent of the Sophomore Class, Secre
tary. This board tries all cases of
dishonesty, disorder, or anything else
derogator" to the welfare of the Col
lege, reported to it, and the action ta
ken by it is invariably supported by
the Faculty.
The social side of the students is
catered to by the German Club,, and
the Tulane Germans are looked upon
by New Orleans Society as not the
least attractive features of the social
season.
Knowing that this letter is for pub
lication in your columns we have en
deavored to make it short and succinct
as possible, and wishing you all sue
cess in every line.
We remain, Yours,
Olive and Blue.

Last Wednesday night Mr. Liv
ingston Barbour of Rutgers College
gave a small but appreciative au
dience his impersonations of the
characters in "David Copper field.'
Mr. Barbour's powers of imperson
ating the different cnaraclers are
indeed wonderful aud it was the
unanimous opinion of all who were
so fortunate as to hear him that it
was by far the best thing of its
kind seen here for years. Old Dan
Peggatty. Ariah Heep, Mr, Mc
Cawber, David Copjieriield, Ham,
and all the others were rendered
