Professor Williams took for an life, past and present, illustrated, am- illustration the oractice that tht stu- plified, and embellished by means of dents make .of leaving for their homes uniumes, pictures, ana native songs, to spend the Christmas holidays short The large audience of students en- ly before the holidays have begun, tered Gerrard Hall not knowing what J He said: to expect, but probably in a vague sort of way looking for a sort of vaudeville exhibition. When the trio of the Raweis family, consisting of the man, with his wife and daughter all in cos tume, marched slowly out upon the well-set stage under a dim weird sort of light, and singing a New Zealand song in , the original, the audience hardly knew how to take it. Under the spell, however, of the soft, rich voices of the Raweis, and the story of wonderful progress they told, the stu dents soon entered into the spirit of the occasion and gave the New Zea landers what we suspect was one of the greatest ovations of their tour A few among the audience came away disappointed, saying there was not much to the entertainment, but these were the few who failed to enter into the spirit of it. They had expect ed a wild extravaganza of some kind, and felt disappointed at finding a cul tivated lecturer and his family giving a refined recital. Their recital was refined, to be sure but they succeeded admirably in oor traying the old wild life- of the South beas in contrast to the present day civilization of the same people. The war song was especially well received Altogether, it is the general impression that the New Zealanders made good. It is interesting to note that the Raweis give credit to the missionaries for the raising of their people from savagery to enlightenment within 60 years Basketball Schedule It has been rather hard to arrange a good basket-ball schedule this year owing to the fact that most of the other institutions that have teams had already made out their schedule before we decided to have a team. There has, however, been arranged a very good schedule of eleven games a mod erate number as basket-ball schedules go. There are included in this num ber some of the best teams of this and other States, so that, since seven of the games will take place on the "From a class of about sixty juniors, twenty-nine were absent on the second day before the University closed last tail, and, from a class of twentv-seven seniors, eighteen were absent the dav before the University closed. Also the mere missing of a recitation does not amount to a great deal; but when halt of a class of Juniors and two-thirds of a class of seniors drop their work and leave before the University closes, I something is radically wroner. "We find another illustration in our athletic record. Last year we lost six out of nine football erames. The reason we lost the Virginia game is that, although we outplayed the Vir ginians in the first quarter and played them evenly in the second quarter, we allowed them to slightly outplay us in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter they had us wholly on the de fensive. We have got into a habit of quitting in the fourth quarter and of giving up in the seventh inning-. On the other hand, in debating we have a glorious record. It has been made what it is because our debaters go down to the foundation of the question, get thoroughly prepared ' and then fight all the way through the contest from the beginning of the first speeches until the last rejoinder has been completed. When our debaters fall into the habit of giving up in the rejoinder we will cease to win debates, 1 . . - ...5 anawnenour athletics fall into the habit of fighting until the last quarter is over and the last inning completed, then we will have successful teams.' rroressor Williams said that the quality of perseverance was a most important thing and that the lack ! of it was a serious defect in the character of any man. He urged the students to give the matter serious reflection and to look upon the practice of leaving Detore the University has closed as an example of "not sticking to it" until " 4 'I our worK was completed. . ;i Dr. Mims Addresses Historical Association. ; At the eleventh annual meeting i of the State Literary and Historical As- Hill, the students here will fiavprmnnr. sociation in RaleiVh Thursrlav TV tunities to see several of the best teams Edwin Mims delivered an address on , the subject, "College and University in the South in action. t Here is the schedule as it now stands: Work in North Carolina."
