Essay on a Mirror.
(From the Freshman English
Cou rse.)
The mirror is a popular subject,
for there are always lots of pcople
who are looking into it.
Most iirrors are square, yet
everywhere we go. we see them
rond.
A mirror occasionally has to be
tipped or it won't work well.
Some mirrors are sickly and have
a long stretch of pane with some
time a break.
Mirrors are usually straight and
have high situations in many oflices
and p)rivate establishments through
out the land. In character sonic are
b)road,; some are narrowv, most are
smooth and all hav:e a hard character
ando are rather shallow.
-Most of us see something to like
in the mirror, yet it is always cast
iiig reflections on one's p)ersonlal ap
p)earance.

New Application of the X-Ray.
On Monday morning immediately
after chapel the student body had
the pleasure of hearing Dr. Thomas
Morgan Rotch, a distinguished mem
ber of the faculty of Harvard Uni
versity. Dr. Rotch is in Columbia
in attendance on the Public Health
Confeience, and is quite an authority
on child life in the South. With the
kindness so characteristic of Har
vard, he told us of the marvelous
discovery of the X or Rontgen Ray,
which Ray, however had previously
penetrated even to this dark corn-er
of the woods. Dr. Rotch explained
the application that was made of
this discovery, to determine the
brain capacity of a child, anl the
'deas which he advainced along this
line were of great interest.
A Suggcstion.
President Mitchell made a very
helpful talk in chapel a few mornings
ago regarding the work a student
can do during his summer vacation.
He recommended that a community
club be formed in the student body
for the purpose of advancing plans
for the betterment of the several
localities represented by students at
this institution. In such a club
plans could be made for the im
provement of schools, good roads,
local health conditions and other
matters of like interest, and thus by
a concert of action all over the Stat-,
much good could be done. This
suggestion is an excellent one and
should be adopted, as not only the
good of the State vill be advanced,
but the interest of the University as
well.
