Y. M. C. A. NEWS "Spirit, Mind, Body." At a regular meeting of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion last Wednesday night, it was the privilege of the students to hear for the second time Dr. H. A. Porter, of Atlanta. The speaker used the subject, "Living Life Over Again," and for thirty minutes held the clos est attention of his hearers. He brought out the fact that, altho we cannot live our past life again, still life is full of chances, and in order to redeem the errors of our past life, we must seize the pres ent opportunities. "The longer we neglect the chances of redi recting our life," said Dr. Porter, "the harder it becomes to do so." A most enjoyable feature of the program was a solo by Mr. Donald Sanders, accompanied by Mr. Guy Horne. The Y. M. C. A. officers are endeavoring to make the meetings attractive from every standpoint, and every man who attends is assured a profitable hour. There will be no more meet ings until after examinations. NOTED SOCIALIST AND ECONOMIST LECTURES (CONTINUED FROM P.\1E ONE.) pose is to promote the study of Socialism." In his next address he gave the following definition upon which the series was based: "So cialism requires the reorganiza tion of the economic life of society upon a basis of private ownership and individual direction of things, tools, processes, and functions, that are essentially individualis tic in character; and collective ownership, and democratic man agement of things, tools, pro cesses and functions that are es sentially collectivistic in charac ter." In his third address delivered Thursday night on "Socialism and the War," he reached the climax of the series. Mr. Spar go stated that looking at this sub ject from a strictly neutral stand point, he would not attempt to fix the blame for the European War upon any one nation. He called Socialism the greatest ex.. isting force toward the preven lion of war. In the closing address on "So cialism and Individualism," he stressed that instead of meaning the abolishmrent of private prop erty as commonly supposed, aims at its further extention. Mr. Spargo is one of the most forceful and pleasing speakers that have visited the University this year, and made a lasting im nrensmnn ALUMNI LOAN FUND Response to Appeal Very Encouraging In the early part of January the General Alumni Association sent a copy of a circular letter to each alumnus of the University, urging gifts to the Alumni Loan Fund. Following this Dr. Cur rell, thru the press of the state, wrote a letter telling of the great good the loan fund was doing for the students of the University, who did not have the money to complete their courses. Prof. Bradley, treasurer of the Alumni Loan Fund, reports that to date over one hundred dol lars has been received in cash and many additional pledges made. Following so close upon the appeal this is an excellent showing. The Alumni have now begun a plan for a systematic canvass of the state for this fund and at the same time to perfect Alumni organizations in the various coun ties. Enthusiasm is high and good results are expected. ALUMNI PROPOSE MEMORIAL AT UNIVERSITY ETC. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE and urge all to contribute to the fund."
