Bible Study RaIIy--GoIf Links
May Be Procured.

4 I'M spite of the fnciemency OF ths
weather a large number OF students were
In Manning hall yesterday TO listen 10 the
address OF Professor Henry n. Fowler.
All present felt we'll repaid for their effort
for he certainly delivered one OF the best
lectures that have been heard on the
campus this year. 1t was the occasion
OF the annual Bible study rally, and as
Mr.. Fowler has been for some time gem
eraI secretary OF the Yale association,
he was well versed on his subject.
Following the address the leaders OF
the various classes briefly outlined their
work for the ensuing year. The pans
are as follows:
A study OF the Life OF Christ Tor
upper classmen will be conducted by
jeremiah Holmes. O2
The Freshmen division will be in charge
OF Henry Watsch, '02.
A. III. Abbott. OS will lead the soph-
omore study, THE Early Church and
Study OF ST. Paul"
The mission study class j. w. Bartlett
will have.
Professor J. @. Dealy also spoke In
regard 10 his course entitled, Teachings
of Jesus and the Apostles" which Is for
juniors and seniors only.
Text books will be used I'm all these
studies Ina much the same manner that
they are in those courses prescribed In
the college curriculum.
There has been considerable interest
of late over golf. At present there are
"a number of good players here in college
but they have been handicapped by not
having any suitable links to use. Some
of the students from the city are MEM
bers OF local clubs, but those men who
are not very well acquainted here were
at serious disadvantage. Nearly all
the other prosperous colleges have their
own links, but the Brown men never
have had an opportunity 20 get together
as a whole. either for pleasure or team
work. There is just now an opportunity
| for the university 10 get control of a
| good club. provided enough men can
be found who will support IL. To con-
| slider the advisability of such an action a
meeting of the students was held.
A great deal of interest was manifested;
even DIR. Faunce and a number OF the
| faculty took Inactive part. Professors
| Hill and Benedict explained the situation
| thus:
The Metacomet club OF East Providence
| is not in a fiourshing condition. SO
many OF the 40 members are behind In
their dues that there is now a debt of
| $500. The club is about 10 reorganiZe
and Brown can get control of II provided
| enough men will go in TO raise this debt.
| The greens are not very well cared for
and there is no club house. but there is
| a farm house on the land which could
| probably be obtained for one AT pres
! ent the course. which consists OF six
| holes. is not very long, but by putting
| I'm the three new ones which are planned
IL could be extended TO 5000 yards The
| natural advantages are so great that a
little work would make ideal links. The
expense of running the club would not be
over sl200 this would set the dues at $i(
TO sl5 IL fifty men would join
committee consisting of DIR. Benedict
chairman, Montague, '4, Ray, '02, Paine
'02, Bumstead. 0S. was appointed to can
vass the college and see how many fel
lows could be found TO join the club.
