AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION IN WHICH THE PRIZE
G0ES.TO. MR. T.N. PEELE
Query: Resolved, Thiit the United States Should Subsi
dize Her Merchant Marine. Decision;
v for Affirmative
The annual freshman debate of the
Philanthropic Society was held in the
Phi hall last Saturday night. The
query was: Resolved, That the United
States should Subsidize her Merchant
Marine. The affirmative side, of the
question was upheld by S. W. Whiting
and R. C. Spence. The negative! side
was defended! by T. N. Peele and G.
V. Strong.
Each side of the quesiion- wa& sup'
ported in an able and aggressive man
ner by the debaters on the;, respective
sides., The speecnes were logically
arranged and they showed that they
were the result of much preparation,
being delivered in a forceful and spir
ited style, that held the interest and
attention of the society throughout
the debate.
The affirmative argued that we need
a merchant marine, and that the
sidy plan would give us one which
would benefit our industries, and pro
mote the welfare of the people gener
ally. The negative conceded that we
need a merchant marine but denied
that the subsidy plan would develop
one. They offered the free ships pol
. icvand a discrimination of rates in
fa -or oi American Vessels- as a substin
tutf. The committee, which was
compost d of' Profs... Cobb, Booker and
Towlcs, decided that the negative won
and" that Mr. Peele made the best
speech. In rendering the decision,
Prof Cobb complimented the, debaters,
saying that the debate was the best
freshman debate that he had ever
heard.

gathered in Gerrard hall to hear the
concert given by Misses Florence Lar
rabee and Florence Hardeman. Miss
Larrabee, pianist, was formerly with
the Boston- Symphony Orchestra, and
Miss Hardeman, violinist, was two

dience seemed to be well pleased with

what might be expected from two ar
tists with the reputation of Misses
Hardemann and Larrabee.

Records of Southern. Football Stars in the Larger
Northern Institutions
Did you ever1 consider' the Southern
ers who have made good' in the foot-?
ball Show ? Read this article of Innis
Brown's:
"In this connection, it is interesting
to note what quite a number of former
Southern stars have done after joining
the ranks of the elite. It is not to be
expected, of course, that Southern
players will ever sret due considera-
Hon I'm so-called ail-American selec
tions. This is true largely because
the acknowledged authorities never
have! an opportunity of seeing South
ern teams working atthe top of their
stride. But let us" get back to the
records of Southern stars who have
gone East. '
"As stated in the above mentioned
letter, Graves, of North Carolina, and
Lvnah. of Clemson, both did great
" .1 ...... ,
work after their graduation into higher
ranks, both being eventually elected
captains of their respective teams with
whih they cast their lots. Graves
was a great fullback at North Caro
lina-and afterward played the game
with as much distinction at West Point
in the same capacity. Liynah worked
at end for Clemson, but owing to his
great generalship and steadiness, was
placed in the responsible position ' of
quarterback on the Ithaca squad. His
tackling was fierce yet true, and his
reliability at all ; times made. his;, ser
vices' jmost invaluable to his team. '
"The army squad has drawn two
other; sterling athletes from Southern
ranks in comparatively recent years.
Reference is made to Foy, an old Aut
burn star, and Watkins, who . played
b,oth at Sewanee and Vanderbilt.: The
former did, valiant service as. a tackle
at Auburn and likewise, proved a very
valuable man for- the cadets at the
same position.
"Watkin.sv a massive built, tawny
haired fellow, played a part of one sea
son at Vanderbilt, when he was forced
to drop out of college on account of
sickness. He afterward spent one year
at Sewanee, playing fullback on the
teatu during the. season of 1901. He
later-received "an appointment to the
Military Academy and played three
seasons, on the team. His playing
was not of , a brilliant type, but he was
thoroughly, reliable, and ne made a
creditable record. .
"Fetzer,, a. former Davidson star, was
another who, afterward made good
wi th Cornell. ) He was a linesman, and
put up a good game for the college of
his adoption. '
"In more recent years three other
men have, won distinction in the East.
"Toots" Douglas, a former star at the
University of Tennessee, made good
with a vengeance on the Naval Acad
emy team. He was for , three years a
leading light in the middies' backfield,
and won the distinction of captaining
the team in his senior year. His work
on the Knoxville team was never of the
sensational, kind, and he really, did
more brilliant work for the midships
men than he did playing in this sec
tion. "Manier played three years at Van
derbilt. and afterward worked one sea
son at halfback for Pennsylvania. He
earned a grand reputation as a line

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR LIBRARY
THREE ROOMS TO BE FITTED UP FOR USE OF
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
An. Addition Which Will Be of Much Benefit to Gradu
ate Students and Students Doing
Special Work
' An addition is being made to the
equipment of the University library,
which will materially increase the fa
cilities for special work in various de
partments. Arrangements will soon
be completed for opening three semi
nar rooms, which will be at the service
of special students in the English de
partment in the German and Romance
departments, and in the Latin and
Greek departments.
When the equipment is complete it
wilt consist of shelving, lights, and
cabinets with drawers and locks, for
students' manuscripts and papers. The
rooms will' be utilized for special re
search work, study and; consultation.
A student doing special work in one
of the departments will be furnished a
key to the room devoted to that de
partment, i "
The fitting up of these rooms is a
decided forward step in the already ex
cellent equipment of the University for
graduate work.
Big Addition to Chemistry Library -
The ' Chemistry department of the
University has recently been very for
tunate in securing- a practically com-
pJcV :ot the r publications of . the :
French chemistry journals. This set
consists ot about 460 volumes and in
cludes practically all ; the works of the
French chemists, beginning with their
earliest1 publications, ? in about? 1780,
and covering all 1 French chemistry to
date. : -"
The addition of these French jour
nals to the chemistry library gives the
University the best French chemistry
reference library of any institution in
the South, and one of the best of any
in the United States. This set also
makes the chemistry library, here
about complete, since the Chemistry
department' already has a practically,
complete set of the German and Eng- .
lish works.
