THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
National Gathering of Student Vol
unteersFull Delegation from
Tills University Desired.
The Fifth International Conven
tion of the Student Volunteer
Movement will be held in Nashville,
, Tenn., frorrf ' February 28 to
March 4. These Volunteer Con
ventions are held but once in each
student generation that is, once
every four years, and constitute the
largest, the most representative,
the most powerful, the most fruit
ful, and the most notable gather
ings of college and university stu
dents of North America.
The University of North Caroli
na delegation should be as strong
as that of any other Southern insti
tution with the exception of Van
derbilt. We have the privilege of
sending eight students besides the
faculty representatives. Let us be
well represented.
The Nashville Convention will be
attended by 3,000 official delegates.
Fully 500 universities, colleges, and
seminaries will be represented by
leading students, both volunteers
. and non-volunteers. Professors as
well as students are invited. It is
expected that at least 200 mission
aries will be present from nearly
fort7 of the mission fields of the
world. The secretaries of the for
eign missionary societies of the
United States and Canada and other
leaders of the aggressive forces of
Christianity in North America will
be present. The national leader of
the various movements for work
among young people, as well as edi
tors of the religious press are invit
ed. Fraternal delegates from Ku
rope will also be present.
The convention will have four
nrominent features. In the first
A.
place, the main program will occu
py the morning and night sessions,
and will include the strongest
speakers of Christendom on the
various themes to be presented. In
the second place, there will be held
in the afternoon some forty-five spe
cial conferences, each with its own
complete program. For example,
on one afternoon there will be con
ferences on the interesting and im
portant mission fields of the
Church; another afternoon on the
various phases of work and the dif
ferent classes of workers; and on
still another afternoon the delegates
will meet by denominations to con
sider the world's evangelization
from their particular point of view.
The third feature will be a large
and impressive exhibit bearing on
the progress of Christianity in the
world. The fourth feature will be
the exceptional opportunities for
intercollegiate, interdenominational,
and international fellowship.
The benefits of this great gather
ing are limitless. Held at the most
opportune time in the history of the
Church, bringing together so many
of the leading spirits in all the cen
ters of learning, as well as the re
sponsible leaders of the forces of
Christians, the Nashville couven
tion, with inexhaustible Divine re
sources available, will give ;
mighty impulse to the religious lif
or the colleges, stir the entire
Church to greater zeal and sacri
fice for the realization of her mis
sionary objective, and make possi
ble a truly remarkable -onwan
movement in the world's evangeliza
tion.
Championships for Last Year.
College Topics has compiled a
list of the championships in all the
college sports last year. One thing
which impresses the average South
ern reader, at any rate if he is a.
Carolinian, is the large number of
sports which are entirely unknown
here. It is because of the lack of
these that weeks are passing on the
Hill right now with absolutely noth
ing doing, save an occasional meet
ing of a literary club.
Yale University proved to be the
most proficient in all branches of
sport, for the Elis won four and one
half championships " to four for
Pennsylvania. Harvard and Cor
nell follow with three each. Co
lumbia comes next with two and
one-half. Harvard with two, and
Swarthmore and Annapolis bring
up the rear with one each. Th
fractions are necessary because of
several ties and other cases, like
football, where Pennsylvania and
Yale each went through the season
undefeated, but did not meet, and
rowing, although Cornell's victory
over Harvard when contrasted with
Yale's hard won victory, gives Cor
nell much the stronger position
Yale may have been superior to
Pennsylvania or vice versa, but re
duced to mathematics the only
thing the reviewer can do is to split
the championship.

holders of the various college cham
pionships East and West:

Chapter the Second Wherein is
Told of a Morn Misspent in sell
Adornment Nixy on the
Ducats.
Now it came to pass that after
these things had transpired, certain
men of the tribe of Horner conspir-
th another, saving: ' "Go
V VUV W ' '
to! Are not the tribe of Mecklen
burg, the tribe of Wake, the tribe
of South Carolina and even the
other tribes having their likenesses
made, for that the maidens of the
land may look upon them and ad
mire? Lo, as to our faces, are we
not as comely as they? And as to
our bodies, are we not full strong?
Let us assemble with our brethren
at the tabernacle of the man called
Holladay, in order that it shall not
be said of us 'They are weak in
spirit,' or 'They are wanting in
comeliness.' "
And forthwith Thomas, who was
the son of O'Berry, and Edgar, who
was the son of Seagle, caused a
proclamation to be made to all their
brethren, how that on a certain day
in a certain month and at a certain
hour of the day the' should band
themselves together and proceed to
the tabernacle of the man Holladay.
And when the members of the
tribe heard the proclamation they
rejoiced .yceedingly with great re-! niility of spirit and hy stealth took
this thing which you ask of me. 'A
And he disappeared.
And a great silence fell upon the
gathering, for their silver was dear
unto them and they had recked not
of parting with it. And with the
silence came also a great despond
ency of spirit, for that their desire
had been kindled within them to no
purpose.
And it came to pass that one,
wrho was stationed nearest the door
of the tabernacle, said unto himself,
"Lo, I have an engagement with a
friend, and I must needs go keep
it." And straightway he departed
through the door and was gone and
the place thereof knew him no more.
And another who had seated him-
sen in a window communed and
said unto himself, "My work lieth
undone and I must needs go do it."
And he departed forthwith through
the window and was gone and the
place thereof knew him no more.
And yet another said unto himself,
I have bought myself a bird-dog
and I must needs go prove it."
And straightway he, also, departed
through the window and was gone
and the place thereof knew him no
more.
And as did these so did all the
sons of Horner and as with boister
ousness and mirth and pride of spir
it they did come, so even with hu-
joicing and hasted to obey. On the
morning of the appointed day they
rose ere the rising of the sun and
began to adorn themselves, saying to
themselves, "Will not the maidens
of the land gaze upon our image?
Is it not meet therefore that we
should look comely?"
So they assembled and met to
gether at an early hour, for they
were glad in spirit because of the
thing that was come to pass among
them. And they held their heads
high and shouted with exceeding-
great shouts as they proceeded on
it.,.: o i . . ,i
men juuiucy. oo great was tne
noise of them that men marvelled
greatly, pointing with their fingers,
and saying, "What manner of men
are these, so proud in spirit and
albeit so noisy?"
But the men of Horner only held
their heads higher and shouted the
louder, "Are we not sous of Hor
ner? Are we not mighty men of
valour And is not our likeness to
be made?" And when they were
arrived at the tabernacle, they
formed in battle array and stormed
it with great violence shouting,
"Where is he that doeth wonders,
even he that maketh images? Let
him come forth, for, verily, the men
of Horner await him!"
Now it so happened that among
the race of image-makers there was
a law that they should make no
ikeness except they receive in pay
ment thereof six pieces of silver.
So the maker of likenesses
answered and said unto them, "Men
of Horner, 1 perceive that in all
hingsye are truly valiant. While,
herefore, ye procure the six pieces
of silver, I will make ready to do
they their departure, each for each.
And after a brief space the maker
of likenesses came again to the
place where he had been, but look
ed only upon empty space. Then
was his soul filled with wonder
ment and he cried aloud, saying,
"Where are they who were proud
in spirit? Where, Oh, where are
the sons of Horner?" And only the
echo answering said, "Where, even
where, are the sons of Horner?" .
Dr. Mitchell to Preach.
The University has succeeded in
securing Dr. S. C. Mitchell, pro
fessor of history in Richmond Col
lege, Virginia, to preach the annu
al sermon before the Young Men's
Christian Association on Sunday
night of Commencement week. Dr.
Mitchell is president of the Cooper
ative Educational Committee, of
the State of Virginia, which is
arousing much interest in the work
of bringing about proper relations
between the higher educational in
stitutions and the public schools.
He is also an editor and contributor
of literarv and historical articles to
the organ of his denomination.
He is a comparatively young man,
only 38, but is widely traveled and
his treatment of his subjects while
always on a high plane and posses
sing marked literary charm, is,
nevertheless, intensely practical.
He was secured largely through his
intimate personal relations with Dr.
Thos. Hume.
Messrs. Ciraham Kenan, of the
class of 1(K)4, and R. W. Herring,
'03, have formed a partnership and
are practicing law in Wilmington,
