Bright Prospects. A Tentative
Schedule.
The outlook for the ensuing- sea-

soil is very promising inueeu, al
most all the old men being- back to
hold their former positions ag-aiust
a 1 competitors, lms ot course
does not mean that their positions
are at all settled but rather - that
every, position on the team is to be
filled by the best man whether he
may or may not have held a place
on last year's team. Every man
must come out with the intention to
work hard, There is a great in
centive this year to try for the team
as the schedule is to be an admir
able one and the manager deserves
much credit for it.
On account of resignation of Mr.
J. R. Carr, who by the way did ex
cellent work last year, the advisory
Committee appointed Mr. A. A-
Holmes, '01 as mauag-er for the approaching-
season. He is a g-ood
man for the place and has had con
siderable experience in this line.
The schedule so far is only tenta
tive, but there are many good games
that we are certain ot playing.
The following is the proposed
schedule.

Lecture by Dr. Thwing.
Dr. Charles F. Thvving-, presi
dent of the Western Reserve Uni
versity, Cleveland Ohio, was here
on Thursday of last week and fav
ored our students with a forty min
utes speech in the Chapel. In be-
g-inning his talk, President Thwing-
said that students were not a class,
but that they were a race, and it
always afforded him much pleasure
to be with a Iwxly of students. He
paid a glowing tribute to the South
and to the memory of General Rob
ert E. Lee, and said that he was
peculiarly glad to be at a Southern
University on the day before the
birthday of that great general.
The speaker then considered in
detail some of the things that col
lege men oug-ht to do in the first
fifty years of the twentieth century.
The last fifty years had been na
ture years, a period of investigation
into the forces of nature and of
wonderful scientific discovery and
invention. The next half century
would, he thought, be human years,
a time in which man was to be de
veloped and the great problems of
humanity solved. The foremost of
these problems, which the trained
mind must deal with, is the adjust
ment of the relation of the individ
ual to society. The trained brain
must also be applied to the develop
ment of the material resources of
the country. College men must go
into business, and about one-third
of them are already engaging in
producing wealth. And again, col
lege men must show "the ethical
barriers to materialism." Our na
tion's life is a two-fold life, physi
cal and spiritual. The proper bal
ance should be maintained between
these two elements. College men
must see to it that the ethical as
well as the material forces in the
American life attain their highest
possible development. In closing,
the speaker said "A great future
awaits us. Let us live for humani
ty, and, Hke Horace Mann, 'be
ashamed to die until we have done
something for mankind.' "
President Thwing-'s speech,
though entirely informal, showed
scholarly attainment and insight in
to the conditions of the times, and
was listened to with much interest
by those who heard it.
DR. SMITH'S ADDRESS.

"The Intellectual Value of Scien-

Professor Smith took as his sub

handled his subject in an unusually
deligfhtful manner. He declared
that there are two classes of study
and they are 1st, Disciplinary Stud

the languag-es; and 2nd, Practical
Studies such as Chemistry, Geolo

Professor Smith greatly charmed
the audience and all enjoyed a rare
occasion of pleasure.
way.
He told of the type of culture af
forded by devoted study of Science,
and divided it into the following-heads:
1st Study of Science - g-ives accu
racy of mind aud accuracy in meas
urement, calculation, sig-ht, sound
and sense perceptions. It makes a
man lucid and clear in statement
and description, simply because
Science requires accuracy and truth
fulness of even the most minute de
tails.
2nd. Study of Science g-ives
Logical habits of Thoug-ht. The
very purpose of Science is to trace
relation between cause and effect
aud no statement is accepted by
them except such as that causal re
lation can be traced in. It trains
mind to scientific and logical habits,
for every scientific investigation is
an example in applied logic.
Science furnishes the mind with a
drill in logic, not found in any other
subject.
3rd. Scientific Study g-ives mind
freedom and releases it from many
forms of servitude. It removes
provincialisms and localisms and all
Scientists are members of the
world family, cosmopolites. It re
leases one from bigoted ness and
mental stubbornness and pride. It
releases mankind from impositions
of modern quacks in medicine, re-lig-ion
and social life that have so
many captives.
A knowledge of the laws and
principles of Science releases one
from the bondage of superstition.
Theology and Education do not
remove this bondag-e and only a ;
Scientific Knowledge can do it.

Study does is to give inspiration.)
