are now 3l7 students enrolled, being
"a more than has heretofore been en-
rolled, during the whole year. The

Mr.. Whitman Barbe, the Univer-
sity field agent, was in town the first
of the week. He was enthusiastieal

and Wednesday mornings. He gave
short talk both times. He extend

V. Z. was considered by prominent
educators as one of the best schools
in the country. All of which was
gladly received, but the chapel rang,
as it never did before. with shouts
and the Varsity yell from 800 lusty

to defeat Marietta in foot ball. "
The enthusiasm portends good for
our coming foot ball season. The
boys are training hard and regular
lY. There is great rivalry for places.
All seem to be taken except the tack
les and quarter back. Fiscus. who
played half back ON Princeton, has
been secured as coach. He is ex
pected this week. A number of games
are to be played which will necessi-
tate the expenditure of considerable
money.
The lecture course has been placed
in the hands of the athletic associa
tion. What is needed now is for
some energetic, enterprising boy or
professor to take charge of this mat
ter and make the most possible out
of it. This should be seen to at
once.

portance will be brought before
them. The questions, of dancin Q
lessons as part of the military
