Especial to Virginian- Pilot.)
Wake Forest College, N. c., Oct. 90
The third of Il series of college lectures
was delivered in the Wingate Memorial
Hall Thursday night. The speaker was
Rev. y. a. Marshall. pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Raleigh. His
subject The Higher Architecture"
was we'll and ably discussed. He began
by taking glance at ancient architec-
ture as compared with that higher ar
chitecture character building He
gave a picture of our UNCONVENTIONAL
and political turn coats," and said
that the great need of our present day
is thinking men--men who are wise
enough to see the wrong and courag-
eous enough to express it. He detested
that custom which makes men bow
before the greatest spirit of our age
the spirit to applaud everything and
everybody.
DR.. Marshall spoke from manuscript.
but held the attention of the audience
from beginning to end. His lecture
was interesting and we hope he will
visit us again In the future.

Chapel Hill. N. c., Oct 20.-To a
University student this season of the
year is easily reasoned to have been
created for his special benefit; his in
tellectual life is just waking up from
the long drowsiness caused by the past
summer. which shows itself in every
phase of college life, and most of us
realize what we are here at the Uni
versity for.

over our first scheduled game to be
played on our grid iron next Saturday.

INTER -COLLEGIATE DEBATE.
The ACCESSIBILITY of holding the an
nual inter collegiate debate, between
the University of North Carolina and
Vanderbilt University. in Raleigh, in
stead of in Chapel Hill. as formerly, is
being earnestly considered by the
friends of the University. There are
many points in favor of the removal
OF this great intellectual contest. and
very few against it. This is one OF the
greatest events in the college year. and
Is of interest to the State. as well ms
TO the students.
