DR.. Stanley and Mrs. DR.. Hud-
dleston were in attendance at Chapel
last Thursday morning.
Jan. 80, was observed as the day
of prayer for young Women, by the
Y. w. c. A. Of the College.
Mrs. DR.. Stanley left Monday for
Chicago on months visit to her
sister, Mrs. Williams. Of that place.
John McCulloch and Geo. Davis,
former students Of this place, attended
Chapel exercises Thursday morning.
Quite number of students al
tended Mrs. Nichols lecture on
"Boys" This is an excellent lecture
in its composition and was delivered
insan elegant manner.
A new standard Dictionary has been
placed for reference in the rhetorical
room. The books of reference in
English Literature and the maps and
charts will be Of great service in that
department.
Hall girl-(to artist What do you
charge tor getting photographs taken
here? Artist-Imperials, Sc per
dozen; duplicates SIS per dozen.
Hall girl-Well ! guess I'll just have
4 dozen duplicates taken.
Robt. P. Walker, one of Jefferson
County's boys and an Alumnus of
Maryvllle College, was visiting here last
week. Mr.. Walker returned to Beard
en- to resume his work as a teacher.
He is a young man full ofpromise and
energy.
Miss Bell (Reading) machine
has been invented that will throw a
man 1900 feet high.
Miss Smiley (Excitedly) Don't let
Richie and Duncan hear Of it for
anything, for Pm afraid they will get
it for Carl.
Why can't we have an electric light
at the south end of Bartlett Avenue?
There is not place on the campus
that needs light more than this place.
There are great many students in
South Maryville that have to cross
over that muddy road and an electric
light would be a great advantage to
them.
The athletic association met last
Thursday and elected the following
officers: President, H. B. Mccall;
Vice President, Prof. R. P. Jones;
Secretary, w. S. Green; Treasurer,
S. A. Harris. Some new members
were received. 1t is hoped that all
new students will join this association
and lend helping hand to the work
of physical training. There is a
marked increase in the interest taken
in athletics from year to year.
Mrs. Nichols, representative Of
the w. c. T. U.saddrcssed the stu
dents last Thursday morning on the
effects of intemperance of various
kinds on the physical and menta
powers of men. The boys who are
addicted to any Incorporate habit:
should listen to this. 1t has beer
shown in many schools that the boys
who are addicted to the use of tobac
co habit in any way cannot do al
good work as the boys who do no
alse il; and this can be proved IL
Maryville college too.
The advantages afforded the stu
dents in Maryville college seem to bt
too little appreciated. There is nj
College, dare say, in the south, (ant
doubt whether there is one in thu
United States that affords such op
portunlties for an education for 81
little cost. BY means of the LOAF
library, books may be obtained TO
from four to seven or eight dollars ;
year for all departments OF work
when if one had to buy them the,
would cost from fifteen to forty dol
lars, and it is better to rent them TO
textbooks are things that are cor
stantly changing. Apparatus in tn
science department costs nothing
Heat is also furnished, by a heating
plant, just at cost. But the best thin
in the way of help to studentssis tn
boarding club. This is also given t
the students at the average cost c
not more than sI.2o per. week, an
often less. We think that the service
