FLINN HALL IS THE MECCA. Y. M. C. A. BUILDING MOST POPULAR ON CAMPUS. The "Home of the College Men" is Made Most Attractive by Reading Rooms Containing Magazines, all Daily and County Papers-Fills a Want Long Needed on the Cam. pus. Without a doubt the most popular building on the University campus is Flinn Hall. Even beyond the hopes of its founder and its most ardent supporters it has become identified with the interests and has met the needs of the student bo(ly. During the few months of its existence it has become the center about which all stu dent interests gather. In short, Flinn Hall has become a necessity to our student life. A mere recital of the varied uses to CJ. c0i Flinn Hall, the "homne of thie cd which this "hiomie" (we say homie, be cause no other word describes'it quite so well) ]ends itself will show how closely it is linked with all our college activities. Besides being the hiomie of the Y. M. C. A., in all departmients of its work, Flinn Hall is also the hiomie of the college publications.

Here the Alumni smoker brought students of former genera tions and students of the present to gether in an evening of pleasant fel lowship. The success which Flinn Hall has enjoyed this year is largely due to the work of the general secretary, Mr. WN. P. Mills, who also has his home in Flinn Hall, and is alvays "at home" to all the students who seek his advice or help in any way. It seems that an agency so inti mately associated withi every phase of college life should receive the enthusi astic support of every friend of the University. It is hoped that, should the board of trustees recommend an appropriation for Flinn Hall. it will meet with a generous response from the Legislature. lege men. The Y. M. C.

Dr. Wylie, besides being a celebrated surgeon, is an eloquent speaker: so the student body can ex )ect to hear something good. Hius subject is most app~ropriate to the times as the dlevelopment of our water power is one of our greatest p)ropositions. The first class hour will be sus p)ended so as to give him plenty of time in which to treat his subject. A full attendance at chapel is dlesiredl. Alumni Meeting Today. At l'2 o'clock today the Alumni As sociation will hold their annual meet ing in the D)emonstration room in the Science H-all. Many imp)ortant mat ters concerning the welfare of the University wvill be discussed. It seems that John Blackburn and several others have become complete Panamaninas NEI GYMNASIUM NEARLY COMPLETED. LACKS ONLY AN APPROPRIA TION FOR FULLY EQUIP PING IT. New Baths and Steel Lockers are Things of Beauty-When Fully Equipped the Gymnasium Will Be One of the Best in the South. Last year the General Assembly ap propriate(d money for the building of a new Science Hall, and this appropria tion carrie(d with it funds for the con version of the old Science Hall into a modern gyniasium. This hall is ad mirably suitable for this purpose, being large enougli to give all the room necessary for baths and lockers in the basement, and to (levote the large. roomy first floor to the use of the vari ou1s anwl sundry muscle-making ma me in this building, is a most potent factor in the chines of a modern gyimnasium. At present, the baths have been installed, With both hot and cold water, and are great improvements over the old ones. liesides the baths, we have a large number of safe an(d sanitary lockers, vhich have been in leman(l for some time, it now being possible to leave clothes (lown there without (laiger of their b)eing stolen. The first floor is a thing of beauty, being of hardwood, and finished and( p)olisheCd like a mirror. Th'le proper equip)ment necessary for a gymihasium is lacking, andI we can only hope for more liberal appropriations in the near future so as to enable this p)art to be finished. Although we now have an excellent buiildinig for our gymnasium, we have p)ractically nothing in the way of equipment, the baths being the only things installed up to date, Still, as we have the building, we are certain, sooner or later, to have the necessary apparatus, and1 we hope that before the session ends we will be ale to take the p)hysical training so necessary in connection wvith mental trai ning- it is a pressing need, and one that should be attended to. It is now three years since we have had anything that might be called a gymnasium, and if another year rolls by without this, one class will have graduated wvithout having the physical development so necessary for success in life.
