Did you go to Winthrop?
Now for the home stretch.
"'The Merry Widow" has gone.
Writ something for the annual.
L,et us all get to work for exams.
Have you had your picture made
yet, senior?
This is the last issue of 'Tle Game
cock before exams.
To use a famous expression,
"lanchard is onl the job all the
time."
Dr. McDonald's speech will come
out in bulletin form. Copies should
be had by every one.
A NECESSITY.
At the begining of this session
we heard some faint whispers con
cerning our gymnasium. A sugges
tion was made that, after we move
into the new building, the old Sci
ence Hall be converte(l into a new
gymnasium wvith all the modern im
provelents. It was further sug
gested that a swimming poo0 be put
on ,the groundl floor wvhich is now
our "gym." If this excellent idea is
properly carriedl out, it wvill be one
of the most beneficial step)s that the
University has taken in all its b)ril
liant p)ast history.
The Legislature is niow inl ouir city
andl it is someone's duty to see that
they help us inl this matter. We (do
not know who bears the resp)onsibity
of looking into this, b)ut we trust that
thecy wvill begin their work immedi
4tely and see that the idea is carried
out to its fullest extent.
The ab)ove is ab)out the future, and
niow a word about .the present.
S6uiething shouild be (lone at onuce.
:*t'should not b)e put-off another (lay.
A nyrme -who visit ou gy..m.as:i.
cannot help noticing the many,
many needs. The few worn out,
century-old pieces of apparatus
which remain, are unfit for use.
Every one realizes that there is no
pleasure for a student to go down
thqrc and stand around and wait
until someone finishes with the few
things that they can use. The great
fault, however, is that the few arti
cles which are there are broken. If
the few things that we have were
kept in working order, it would im
prove it very much. Wlhen anything
is once broken, it remains broken,
and no one tries to fix it, until at
present we have left a few dumb
bells, a pair of parallel bars, and a
rope to climb. This is indeed a
marvelous condition for a Univer
sity gymnasium to be in. Just one
other point about the bathing condi
tions. If any man is asked when lie
has had a warm w%vater bath last, lie
will very probably answer, "Just
before I left home." Now, this be
comes a serious matter, when we
have to go to the "gym" and stand
around and get cold, and then
plunge into a freezing water bath.
We meredy throw this out as a
hint, and we hope that the person or
persons who should look into this
matter vill do so immediately. We
expect to have a fine gymnasium
next year, and with this we leave it
to the party vho owes it to the
University as well as to the students,
to look after the above needs.
DR. WAUCHOPE.
Dr. George Armstrong Wauchope,
Professor of English, in this Univer
sity, has been granted a leave of ab
sence to accept his late call to the
head of the English department at
the University of Virginia.
Dr. Wauchope's absence will be
keenly felt by students, faculty and
the community at large in which his
influence was strongly felt. We all
feel very much indebted to Dr. Vau
chope for his earnest and ardent
work while he has been connected
with this University. He has at all
times taken a keen interest in every
studient who has had the pleasure
and privilege of being under him.
This call is a great compliment
paid to our beloved professor, and
Dr. Wauchope bids fair to make a
good ac(Iuisition to the faculty of the
University of Virginia.
A Valuable Speech.
There is in the library a little
p)amphlet whlich every thoughtful
studlent should read, and which any
one in terestedl in p)ublic questions
would find profitab)le. It is the ad
diress of 1-on. D)avid J. Brewer, As
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court
of tile United States, b)efore tihe Newv
Jersey State Bar Association, at At
lantic City, last June. His subject
wvas, "Tile Mission of the United
States of America in the Cause of
Peace." In a few short paragraphs
lie summarizes all the arguments for
the arb)itrationl of international (dis
p)utes, makes a strong p)lea for dis
armamenlt b)y the United States, and
eloquently preaches the great doc
trine of tile b)rothlerhood of man.
D)espite tile craze for a big navy and1
other seeming indications to the con
trary, America is destined, so he af
firms, to lead the nations in the way,
of peace. He shows very clearly the
manner in which wars have affected
human hist9ry and their influence
upon the d6wnfall of many empires.
-is long'service on the bench is re
flected in the pervading tone of the
address, nowhere (oes he permit
himself to make a wild or over
strong statement, and throughout
his language is marked by a quiet
eloquence, subdued yet compelling.
Indeed, it is well worthy of close
study, just as a good specimen of
the chastened rhetoric which charac
terizes the modern school of oratory.
Read it if possible, and whether
you accept or reject his conclusions,
you will be set thinking upon a sub
ject that is sure to be featured in the
politics of the next few years.
A Battle of the Giants.
(IVith apologies.)
Ages ago,
Old legends show,
Two kings of height appalling,
Agreed to fight
(Abput their height),
Till one be smitten falling.
Russell, the Red,
The legend said,
Dealt blows of greatest wonder;
The din (id go
To men below,
And made them think it thunder.
But Vilson, the Stick,
With movements quick,
Gave blow for blow with jeering;
No rest was sought,
But on they fought,
With blood their bodies scaring.
But then at length,
With his last strength,
The Red with deadly cunning,
Cleaved through his throat,
But ne'er (lid gloat
H-is own life's blood was running.
For Wilson, the Stick
1-is vision thick,
Brought waning strength to action,
And through Red's breast
H is lance he press'd
But did his last transaction.
There two mounts rise,
Quite like in size,
To those who fought, and changes,
Little the lay,
Which says that they
Turned to those mountain ranges.
