Concert By The Glee and Mandolin
Clubs and Orchestra.
The University Glee and Mando
lin Clubs and Orchestra made their
first appearance of the season in
Gerrard Hall, Monday night.
"Hail to Carolina," rendered cn-
spmble was especially appropriate
as opening1 selection. The enthu
siasm it aroused was surpressed by
the rousing cheers that drowned
Virginia voices at Richmond .
"Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and true,
Singing Carolina's praises
Shouting N. O. U."
" Luder's "King Dodo" by the
Orchestra and Bennett's "Daughter
of Love" by the Mandolin Club re
flect no little credit upon Directors
Woolen and Leinbach and the ap
plause these renderings received
was the well merited laudation won
by a set of of faithful and patient
musicians.
A celebrated songstress once said
that she was always enthused while
listening to trained male voices.
The voice of man, whether bass,
baritone or tenor, seemed to appeal
to her with a charm surpassing the
soft notes of woman and equalled
only by the clear shrill clarion
strains of the mocking bird. This
feminine critic was neither a mere
flatterer nor a genuine old maid but
a whole lover of the art. She was
right and there are many here who
sympathize with her. That is the
reason, no doubt, our Glee Club and
Quartette receive that full measure
of appreciation which they deserve.
The old saying "he that hath no
music in his heart is fit for trea
son, etc." grows truer every day.
Then let us develop this the undis
guised voice of inner self and, step
ping to the tune of "Dixie" and
lifting our hats to "The Star
Spangled Banner," cast away our
gloomy feeling and in soothing song
our sorrows to sleep.

V. M. C. A. Missionary Service.
The address which Dr. Thomas
Hume delivered at the regular
missionary meeting of the Y. M. C.
A. showed that that the missionary
movement .of our age has in it the
secret of social reform and progress,
as it preaches the reconstruction of
society through the transformed in
dividuals who are to leaven the lump
and proffer the divine life which
satisfies human instincts every
where and creates the power to
realize otherwise unattainable
ideals. The traditions, the cus
toms, the spirit of heathenism will
be changed only as Paul the
apostle changed Corinth and Ephe-
sus by presenting "Christ Cruci
fied." The personal conviction
which is accompanied by the Holy
Spirit will be as effectual in China
or India as it was in the ancient day
in undermining the Greek-Roman
isystem of thought and life by the
proclamation of sin and the atoning
sacrifice and the infinite love.

Shakespeare Oh, 'tis beyond en

would make the Sahara weep.
Thev scoff at us. Our immortal

sad, solemn, silent. They, too,
brood over their wrongs.
(Enter Schiller, Racine and Cor

lecturers in Sever and are very
melancholy.)
Schiller (sings)
Ach! Tell and Die Juugrau I

Reading From One of His Books
on the Creole People.
On the night of Friday the twen
ty seventh, George W. Cable gave
a reading in Gerrard Hall from his
book, "The School Master of
Grand Point." His gesture.: and
adaptability to the various dialects
which entered into the story were
exceptionally good.
The Schoolmaster of Grand
Point is a story of life in a little
Acadian settlement on the banks of
the Mississippi. An enthusiastic
but not over-learned teacher of
French extraction comes to Grand
Point to start a great educational
movement among his simple kins
people. We are told of his humble
beginning and his interesting zeal.
Among his pupils, was a lad named
Claude and a young girl named Se
donie. Both the school teacher and
Claude fell in love with Sedonie.
An element of opposition to the
school arises. The school teacher
makes this proposition, that the
school children would be examined
and if any scholar missed a single
question the school would be closed.
On the day of the examination a
book agent arrives at Grand Point.
He is mistaken by the school master
for the State Superintendent of
Public Education and is asked to
examine the children. The children
recite perfectly until Sedonie is
called upon. The teacher mispro
nounces the word, Sedonie, however
spells it right. The teacher thinks
it is a mistake and is bewailing his
fate when the book agent explains
that it was the fault of the teacher
and not of the scholar; therefore
great rejoicing follows. The school
teacher continues to hold his job,
and marries Sedonie.
If marriage licenses were issued
with divorce coupons attached, it
would be a great convenience to the
four hundred. College Topics.
The patent office has decided it
to be unlawful to use the Presi
dent's name as an ad. without his
consent. This is hard on the shoe
polish manufacturers who might
have put a "Roosevelt Black" on
the market. Skiff.
Before many moons have waxed
and waned, the diamond will re
sound with the merry crack of the
base ball bat, the horsehide will do
gymnastic aerial stunts, the rooter's
lupgs will wax elastic and there'll
be something doing. Ex.
I asked the Faculty one day
What makes them look so wise.
"You think perhaps," I heard them say
This is some strange disguise,
And if we did not look this way
How could you guess we're wise.
College Topics.
Woman's faults are many,
Men have only two:
Everything they say,
And everything they do.
Certainly composed by an old
maid. Ex.
