THE SEASON OPENS.
First Mass Meeting of the Year.
New Mew Introduced to the
"University Ideals.
Last Friday evening in response
to the summons of the old bell the
first mass meeting- of the year., as
sembled in front of Gerrard Hall.
A miniature bonfire was kindled
from the rubbish accumulated by
the unpacking of the furniture for
the Y. M. C. A. building some
.body was mean enough to suggest
that the officers of the Association
were pursuing this underhand
means of ' getting their premises
cleaned, but . the crowd be
lieved that they donated the mater
ial purely frpm an overplus of "col
lege spirit." In the red glare of
the blaze the boys gathered and at
tempted a few yells and songs, but
it was too hot. Yelling around a
bonfire is one thing on a November
night after winning a big game
and quite another thing on a warm
Septtriber evening when there has
been no game at all.
In a very short time the crowd,
which was .very orderly considering
that it was a mass meeting crowd,
resorted to Gerrard Hall where the

developed, the life-long friendships
that they have formed among men,
and the reputation they have es
tablished as standing ; among the
first organizations of their nature
in the world. Mr. Dameron called
attention to the fact that member
ship is not compulsory in either so
ciety, that men join them through
recognition. of the advantages they
offer, and urged the new men to
take advantage of the first oppor
tunity to join either society.
"Association Work at the Uni
versity" was then discussed by Mr.
C. C Baruhardt. He showed .that

meeting was . called to-order
" v;.PrpiidpTit Stem in in the ab
sence of President Roberson. The
only business on hand was the elec
tion of a Chief Cheerer, to succeed
Mr. "Bully" Moore who has so ably
filll-ed this position for the two years
past but who did not return to college
this fall in spite of his re-election.
Mr. F. B. Stem was nominated, and
as there were no other nominations
Freddie was nnanimously chosen
"It."- '
After a few moments of inde
cision Mr. J. A. Parker was called
upon and responded with a short talk
on "The Relation of .Athletics to
University Life." Mr. Parker
dwelt upon the necessity of physi
cal training for mental develop
ment, calling attention to the fact
that most men of great intellectual
ability are highly developed phy
sically as well. Next he spoke of
the necessity which has arisen this
year, through the loss, of. the Vir
ginia game, for the colletion of an
athletic fee from every student ; in
college, and urged every man pres
ent to contribute what he could,
whether more or less than the dol
lar stipulated as the fee. Then,
speaking of the hard schedule tlat
is before us, games being arranged
with several of the large Northern
universities, he urged the necessity
for every possible man to go opt on
the gridiron in order that we may
put out a winning team
Mr. E. S. W. Dameron followed,
taking for his subject "The Liter
ary Societies and University-. Life."
He showed. that the successful ath
lete must be the trained thinker.
The societies develop the intellec
tual man as athletics do'the phys
al. How well they have succdilcd
in their work their history bIJws
clean athletics, in the intellectual
life it stands for the honor system.
Mr. Barnhardt closed with a cor
dial invitation to all to visit the Y.
M. C. A. building. It is free to
all, whether members oJE the : asso
ciation or not and all are equally
welcome; f
Dr. Veuable irrt; in a brief., ad

necessity for personal endeavor in
each phase of college lite, liach
man must give or do something, no
matter how little, must feel that he
is essential to the success of the
University.
Coach Kienholtz then spoke at
some length, endorsing heartily the

It is necessary to combine. The
best student, the thinker, always
makes the best football player.
This is more true than ever now.
Under the new rules the man with
the clear head has by far the great
er advantage. Coach Kienholtz
then pointed out how the training
in football develops ability to win
in any struggle and urged the men
to come 6ut. No man shall be
indorpd h? any standard save his
ability, and each man who goes out
shall be' rewarded in accordance
with What he y accomplishes.
Further Coach Kienholtz said in re

, . Some Good Advise to New
Students.
The Chapel Was well filled Sun
day afternoon by students who had
come out to attend the first meeting
his year under the auspices of the
Y. M. C. A, The speaker of the
occasion was Rev. A. L. Phillips,
Class ot 1880, D. D. '94, of Rich
mond, Va., General Superintendant
of Sunday Schools and Young Peo
les' Societies for the Southern Pres
byterian church. The subject of
Dr. Phillips' address was "Seeing
Visions", and his remarks were
such that they could have been
heard with profit by every man in
the University. Dr. Phillips is an
old University man, one who under
stands tlje ideals and is familiar
with the traditions of the institut
ion, and his advice to the 'new
students showed that he thoroughly
understands college life.
At the conclusion of the address
Mr. F. B. Rankin, general secre
tary of the Y. M. C. A. outlined
briefly the policy of the Associat
ion for the coining year. An invi
tation was extended to the students

number responded.
The speech of Dr. Phillips in
substance, was as follows:
"In explanation of the wonderful
transactions on the day of Pentecost
Peter told the people -that what
they saw was to be expected. It
had been foreseen and foretold by the
prophet Joel, when he said JYour
young men shall see visions.' They
were 1 seeing a vision under the
light of the Holy Spirit, and young
men have been seeing 1 visions ever
since.
"Modern science says that it is
natural and proper for young men
to see them; they characterize the
years of adolescence. Afellow may
follow his natural inclination and
be scientific. Here Bible .nd sci
ence are at one."
"You all will see a vision of phy
sical manhood, you will see your
selves with swift feet, and strong
arms, stomachs, and well made
heads, full of brains. It is a most
hopeful sign that our University is
interested in training bodies. It is
helping you to realize your vision.
"Some of you will see a vision of
mental power. Let this vision have
full swing. This is no age for an
ignorant man. It Js. calling aloud
for men whose minds are well train
ed and well stored with available
kno w lege. '
"Some of you will see a vision of
beauty. All your dreams will be
colored and brilliant. One of the
greatest needs of our modern edu
cation in the South is a more ade
quate study of beauty. When you
go into the library do not pass the
poets by, nor neglect the masters of
fiction. Study beauty. Dream
your dreams of beauty.
"Some of you will see visions of
perfection. Matthew Arnold says,
'I think, that criticism is the study
of perfection.' One part of your
work here is to criticise in order to
make perfect. Your unsatisfied eve
will turn trom this and lrom 'that.
At last it will rest on one who is
the Son of God upon Jesus Christ.
You need seek no further. Here
you may rest. In him are united
all strength, all mental endow
ment, all beauty. He alone is per
fect. "Some of you may go a step fur
ther, and see a vision of service.
In the Old Testament you njeet a
character described as the servant
of Jehovah. He is represe nted as
finding his satisfactionju obedience
in service to Jehovah. In the New
Testament you will find Paul bring
ing his pure Hebrew blood, his
trained intellect, all his wonderful
powers to the feet of Jesus and say
ing '1 count them but refuse, if on
ly I may .: serve my Lord Jesus. '
Christ himself was the servant of
Jehovah, and said, that it was his
meat and drink to do God's will,
and gave voice to the greatest aim in '
the world when, he said 4I do always
the things that please the Father.
"Goon, young men, dream your
'UvJiUiM n physical force, of -menial
pre-eminence, of fascinating beauty,'
of glorius perfection, of blessed ser
vice. . Let them all meet before
Jesus Christ. Make him supreme.
The University iu its faculty and
equipment will help you upward
and will show you in a way how to
realize your vision. The Y. M. C.
A. stands ready to aid you to the
utmost. In its Bible classes, in its
Mission study classes, in its organi
zed personal work, in, its uplifting
fellowship, it waits to help you to
realize your, vision. Get in vital
touch with it: Be true to your
vision of Jesus Christ.
