College Yells and Songs Filled Flinn Hall With Mirth-Delightful Refreshments Served. After the brilliant and interesting speeches of the distinguished guests of E. V. Robertson were over on last Wednesday night, a smoker was tendered them in the new annex of Flinn Hall. Undoubtedly this was the most versatile, entertaining and intellectual treat of the year. After the Northern visitors and Univer sity students had crowded in the new room, formality was thrown to the winds and the students cheered lustily and roundly for Yale and her alumnae. In turn the men of Yale cheered freely for the University, and sang song after song of "good old college . days." It was no longer the class of '85, but a crowd of college lads who did not hesitate to join in a march, which put the celebration of Clemson's defeat to a flight, in and throughout the room. After this these great capitalists, educators and publicists mingled freely with the students and dis cussed questions which varied in topic from playing mumble-peg and baseball to weighty financial and in dustrial problems of the day. In addition to cigars and cigarettes, de lightful. refreshments were served. This was decidedly a happy and profitable meeting and showed in a pronounced manner the feeling of kindness existing between the North and South. LITERARY SOCIETIES CONTEST FRIDAY NIGHT Representative for Southern Will be Chosen. The preliminary for the Southern Intercollegiate Oratorical contest will be held in chapel on Friday, April 18, at 8 o'clock, to select a representative for the University.

Due to the fact that James Allen, representing the Uni versity, won last year, much inter est is being shown among the students. The public is cordially in vitedi and a large crowd is expected. YALE ALUMNI DELIGHT UNIVERSITY AUDIENCE Guests of Edwin W. Robertson Visit Carolina. Five Yale Graduates of 1885 Spoke in Chapel Thursday Evening. Many Present. To those who heard the speeches delivered by members of the Yale class of '85 was accorded a de lightful treat. The class is the guests of Mr. E. \V. Robertson, of Columbia, also a member of the same class. There were men from every part of the world, from Syria to Connecticut. After a few appropriate words of introduction by President S. C. Mitchell, Rev. Dr. Charles L.- Car hart, of Beirut, Syria, told of his experiences in that far off land. Hundred upon hundreds of students of every nationality crowd to the University of Beirut to gain the learning of the \Vest. Here they imbibe much of the democratic spirit of the United States, and come to respect one another. That univer sity is modeled on the great univer sities of the West and from it are emanating influences that are caus ing a new era in that nation, an era in which great things will be (lone. From the lessons sent them from the New World will rise a mighty futnre for this rapidly developing race. A former neighbor of Mark Twain, the Rev. Dr. George T. Lindsay, told just some stories of the "Yale spirit." As an illustra tion he told of this incident : It was in Ireland. I was riding slowly along with an old Irishman who seemed to be enjoying the ex tremely slow gait of the animal. Thinking to start a conversation I asked him the name of the horse. He answered, "Gamecock." "And why did you name him that," I asked. "Because he would rather (lie than riun," was the unexpected answer. Dr. Lindsay is from Con necticut also, and told of some of that State's achievements. In the constitution of the Hartford colony is the basis of American liberty. It is the first wvritten charter of its kind ev'er given to the wvorld. At the conclusion of Mr. Bald win's talk, Dir. George Wauchope, in a neat little speech, presented to the auidience the last speaker of the evening, Dr. Wilbur L. Cross, of Yale. Dr. Cross spoke on "Yale (Continued on Page 4.)
