Y.M. C. A. NOTES. On last Sunday night Dr. C. E. Burts, formerly of Edgefield, now pastor-elect of the First Baptist church, of thi,s city, spoke at the united student services in that church. There was a splendid congregation present, pnd the service was much enjoyed by all.' Dr. Burts spoke on "True Manliness," showing that the manliest thing in all the world is to be like Christ. The more closely one follows Christ, the more truly is one manly in the best and highest sense. We look forward with much pleasure to Dr. Burts' permanent ministry in this city and trust that it may be our privilege to have him often with us. Mr. Alan Johnstone spoke on Wednesday night, March 8th, at the regular midweek service. Mr. John stone is a clear and forceful speaker, and we feel, too, that there was an added advantage in his talk on Wednesday night just in the fact that he is one of ourselves. A student can sometimes get closer to his fellows than one who has left college walls behind him years ago. Carolina cer tainly thanks Newberry College for the gift of Mr. Johnstone. Mr. R. Beverly Herbert, president of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, will be the speaker on Wednesday next, March 15th. During this week University stu dents have had the unique privilege of hearing one of the most prominent theologians and educators in America, Dr. Francis L. Patten, of Princeton. His sermon at the First Presbyterian church last Sunday was greatly en joyed by all present, and his lectures during the week have been of large profit to those who have followed them. Vhile lie treated of deep themes, yet his statements were so clear, and his exposition so lucid, that one found no difficulty in listening to him. Indeed his manner of presenta tion was so attractive as almost to compel attention of itself. In his lit tle talk at chapel on Monday morning Dr. Patten showed that lie knew well the needs of college men, and his ad vice was most practical and helpful. Many other college weeklies have more pages than T i GA M.:COC . but very few carry as much pure reading matter. College Topics, of the Uni versity of Virginia, has eight pages, yet they only get out about twelve columns of reading matter, and their columns are much shorted than ours. Really, we have just as good a paper as any college in the South. Of the 16,216 names recordedl in "Who's Who in America," 56 per~ cent. are college graduates, 15 per cent, college men, 12 per cent. academy andl normal men, 3.48 per cent high school graduates, and only one-fifth of one per~ cent, self-taught men.

There are several baseball players of ability in the University who did not apply for practice. Among these may be mentioned: Sapp, with a bril liant record at Wofford behind him; Jennings, also an erstwhile star at Wofford, and Adams, a southpaw, who helped make the Columbia Me chanics f'amous. With the good practice of the last two weeks, the experience which the squad will get from the games with the Columbia professionals, and the time still to elapse before the opening game, on March 31st, it is a fair prophecy that the team this year will be one of the best in the history of our institution. Not Altogether Disappointing. (Continued from Page One.) called upon again to show the result of their experience, and we believe it will show up pretty well. We will not give details of the game. We are very sorry, indeed, to note the unpleasant feeling which seems at present to exist between the Univer sity of Virginia and Washington and Lee. Whether Virginia has a higher standard of entrance requirements than has W. and L. is not a matter over which the students of the two institutions should squabble. They are botlh great schools, and both in a great State, and they should never, for an instant, forget the great common puirposes of their founders so far as to indulge in childish quarrels. Fighting each other, the good accom plished for the State by both could not equal that accomplished by either alone unhampered by such feelings. The big steamer had left the pier.
