will get here wvhiat you mother and
father want you to have, the Chris
tian influence teeded to hold your feet
oi the ground. All of you men love
vyour mothers; the Y. M. C. A. will fur
nish enough of worship to make you
love her more and because of her lov'
make yo apprnach nearer God.
"A great many fellows (lo't attend
tl Y. M. C. A. because first: They
feel it is a sort of sissy proposi tioi.
Thev feel that they don't need to make
subinissit,n to One higher. I can tell
yIIn though that the first p) lace they
go when inl trouble is to try and ap
proach God. Let me ask you a prac
tical question. You don't approach a
perfect stranger and expect to borrow
a ten dollar bill, do you? No. strangers
v.I't accII(date you. ShImuld we ex
pect God to be different? If for no
other reason than frientdship with God 1
in case of emergency I urge you to at
tend the Y. M. C. A.
'A fiootb)all team is composed of elev
en men. I played on, one for three
vtars that had live fellows who are now
preachers. One 'of these years our
manager was a preacher, making for that I
ycar six preachers. These fellows were
real men; ready to fight for the Col
lege; ready to fight for the members
oI the team individually, but always
ready to fight and play the game straight.
Preachers are the same sort of fellows
a-; the rest of us; then life has a higher
pirpose but they have the same feelings
and the same temptations as other men.
The men in college who attend Y. .M.
C. A. are the same sort of men as he
(ies who don't attoind except that they
are making iriends with God; rounding
into better mnic; preparing to be of
more service to their community when
they go back home.
"\'What then should the Y M. C. A.
mean tq a man just entering College. Its
first service to you should be to con
iitct vot with the Christian influoiees;
an influience similar to home ,influence.
The University supplies you with ed
ucational and social outlets which help
I yiu intI world affairs. You need a
fQ urth influence to keep yuIr char
acter ship ini harbor that is Christian
in character supplied by the Y. M. C. A.

Bell's Paternal Advice
As usual Mr. Bell, as a "Y" secre
tary felt duty bmund to give a little
paternal advice to the freshmen, lie
said all things were found in the
"Freshman Bile." lie cautioned
them to lie careful of their hasty
friendships, and later turned his talk
into a plea for V. M1. C. A. iemlber
ship, telling the new men what man
ner of mon they meet at the "Y".
Last fall all four class presidents were
members of the "Y" Council, as have
been the last four student body presi
dents. "R. Glenn" is at all times wil
ling to help a man out, even to the ex
tent of being awakened at 2:00 A. M.
to let a man sob into his car the sad
news that his best girl kicked him
(for the time being).
The last regular speaker, Dr. Isa
dore Shayer, of the University faculty
spoke of a man's duty to himself and
the evils that lay waiting for the man
who does vot know how to use his
new found liberty of action. This talk
was presented in a very forcible man
ner which the man who has just cut
loose from "Mama's apron strings"
will not soon forget.
At the close of the meeting "Dr."Bill
Colli.ns, University cheer-leader, took
charge and soon had the new men put
ting out the yells and "We Hail Thee
Carolina" like (d timers. Cheers were
also given for the Co-eds and the Y.
M. C. A.
Co-eds Serve
The meal was prepared by the wives
of members of the faculty, under the
supervision of Mrs. J. A. Stoddard,
and served by several pretty Co-eds, to
whom too much praise cannot lie given.
190 Freshmen were seated at four lo)nIg
tables, and the number of speakers,
co-eds and (tlIers brouglit the num
her to be fed up to about 215. The
meeting was presided over by Master
of Ceremonies 0. 1). Johnston, presi
dent of the University Y. M. C. A.

ince to America and their bearing on N
r:can cases. The Dean further
ointed out the similiarities of the early it
'iiglish Courts and modiern American ti
ies. "The early records were kept t<
in membrane manuscripts, writton in o
,atin. Two copies were made, one for a
ie Judges and the other for the King." 1:
le continued by showing how the con- li
inuity of the law profession extends
ack into the distant past. "These law 1)
eports were written in the courts by a
oung lawyers for iniformation to law
'ers and the court,'' he said. Many
onsider this collection of English
'ear looks the most unique in the
vorld. The last printed report catme t
ut in 1680. There was no effort to /
ublish the muntil the Selden Society 1
as rganlized in 1887.
The Dean asked that the Law Asso- V
iation endeavor to do something to I
quip the Law Library with these Year I
looks and the other publications of 3
lie Selden Society. He closel hy saying a

ig when you leave the Law School. I
At this point Mr. Steinberg, Clerk
if the Moot Court, read the case for t
iext Thursday night. Messrs. Gres
ette, Henry and Brown were appointed
is attorneys for the prosecution, while 1
Iessrs. Purdy, Wittkowsky and Mer
:hant act for the defense.
Professor Rucker, of the Law fac
lty was next introduced by the presid
ng officer. His subject was, "Why
re you at the Law School?"
"There are too many people who are
:oatented with the knowledge they have
It hand, and are Aiot willing to hunt
urther," said Professor Rucker. "Some
Atdents are here for pleasure, while
ithers have a purpose and intend to
iecoime lawyers. I don't believe inl work
di of the time, but when there is work
0 do. get busy and do it." Ilie con
-luded by urging all ;f the new men
o join one of the literary societies and

rofession; and keep out of debt

The speaker conchided his remarks

IEW PROFESSOR OF BIBLE
In the account of the new professor
iat was published last week the Rev.
,. J. Derbyshire was missed. This was
,avxoidable as it was not known until
later date who was going to fill the
osition as professor of Bible. Dr. L.
,. Carpenter, who taught this subject
ist year, has a fellowship to Yale this
ear. He has been given a leave of
bsence for a year and the Rev. Derby
hire is taking his place.
Rev. A. J. Derbyshire is pastor of
it. Timothy's Elpiscopal church in the
;lnwood section of the city. We wel
ome him to the campus and hope
hat lie will enjoy teaching here. It is
liderstood from sonic of the students
dho are taking courses under him that
ie "means business." But that is the
ind of professors to have.
