In a recent issue of College Topics,
appears the following:
With the election this week of Char
lie Crawford to coach the football team
for the next year and "Pop" Geyer to
captain the eleven, prospects for suc
cess next fall have been greatly boost
ed, and the fact that Virginia will
have a winning team to uphold her
claim to pre-eminence in the South
now borders upon certainty.
The leading colleges of Virginia
hold an annual oratorical contest in
which each college participating is
represented by one speaker. South
Carolina colleges also engage in a con
test of this kind. The following notice
is taken from the "Ring Turn Phi" of
Washington and Lee:
On last Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock, in ''Wash" Hall, a preliminary
contest was held and a representative
chosen to represent Washington ' and
Lee in the annual state oratorical con
test which is to be held at Emory and
Henry College sometime in May. Mr.
Heavener with an oration on "The
United States, a World Power," won
the decision and with the good show
ing made here should stand a good
chance to win out in the final contest.
The colleges and universiites forming
the State Oratorical Association are:
Washington and Lee-University, Em
ory Und Henry, Randolph-Macon,
Richmond, William and Mary, and
Roanoke Colleges, and University of
Virginia.
In an address before the students of
the University of Kansas, April 29,
Ambassador James Bryce made a strong
plea for the humanistic studies and for
habits of sound and exact thinking.
This extract is taken from a news re
port of the address:
It was not only the applied sciences.
Mri Bryce thought, that ought to be
provided for, such as agricultural
chemlsty and engineering, but also the
theoretic Sciences, such as chemistry
and physics and biology. There is
an even greater danger today in all
countries, in Europe as well as in
America, of neglecting the literary or
humanistic subjects such as philosophy
and history and philology.
Therefore, the; ambassador said, he
would remind the students that in
their college years they had to prepare
themselves- not only for , their special
vocation in' life, be it commercial or
professional, but also for life itself.
They must learn to love, literature and
history; they must learn to think about
those great things which had occupied
the human mind in the past and were
treated of in the works of the most
famous men of older days. ; Let them
never be afraid to spend time on stud
ies which seem remote from our times.
From the ancient writers of Greece
and Rome, from the great poets of
later times, such as Dante and Shakes
peare and Milton, there was still to be
gathered such fruit as does not grow on
any trees today.
"Three-fourths of the mistakes that
a man . makes are made because he
doesn't really know the thing he thinks
he knows," s.iid the ambassador.
The habit of sound and careful and
independent thinking, he went on to
say was the best intellectual quality
a young man could start in his journey
through ltfej j; "That, and the! -love of
truth, are what a university ought to
- .teach." , ;.y

down in its proper place was praise-
wormy.
Everybody made good fron Sir Har
court Hartley to Pert, The necessi
ties for promptings were few and far
between, and at these times the assist
auce was given with a dexterity that
almost made the pause pass tor a
scheduled breathing space. At times
if became necessarv for one or two
actors to gaze into the dressing room
and to remark interestedly on the
gradual approach of some fellow. At
such time the said actors kept the con
versation spicedly and containedly, al
ways giving the approaching one full
time to climb in thru the room win
dow without tearing his train.
The production of "London Assur
ance" was the fruit of long practice
and painstaking coaching, and Mr.
Adolph Vermont may well congratu
late himself on the success which his
company attained.
