poets for Both the University ana
the Tech.
The University of Georgia begins its
fall session Wednesday. The Geor-
gia School of Technology VIII open
the following Wednesday. Already the
Savannah delegation has commenced
to leave for Athens, and, indeed, sew
eral young men have already gone. The
majority of those who are to enter the
university will leave tonight and to-
morrow AS the Tech does not begin
its session until the oath. none of its
men have yet gone.
College boys always leave for their
respective schools several days in ad-
vance of the opening; the new men,
to make preparations for board, and,
perhaps, to arrange the details of their
prospective course, and the. older men,
to participate in the "frat-rush."
About half of the student body are
members of some one of the numer
Gus Greek letter societies, and it is at
the opening of the session that the new
men are invited to join and are JIM
itiated.
The "Spiking" Season.
The "spiking" season, as it is COM
monty known to the college man, is
one of continuous hustle and hurry.
By the day that college opens, and Of
ten before the new men have matricu-
lated, the fraternities have made their
selection. Every incoming train is met,
and the improvident freshman is taken
in charge. He is given no rest until
he has determined what fraternity he
Will ally himself with.
Such are the opening days of the col
lege year. They are always the same
the freshman of to-day is the senior
of tomorrow, but the new men take
up where the old leave off, and, session
in and session out, the opening of the
schools are much the same, and the
same unique reception greetS the fresh
man.
The University's Prospects.
And so the boys have left several
days before the opening days. The
university opens with bright prospects,
the number of applications for rooms
in the new dormitories indicating that
than at any time in many years. The
Savannah delegation to the two insti-
tutions is a large one. The
new men who are going to
the university are: Weyman Har-
mon, Armand Berg, Mckay bearing,
Charles N. Fiedelson, Joseph Low and
Frank P. Mcintyre. The four first
named will pursue academic courses,
entering the Freshman class. Joseph
Low will take a special course in cleo
trical engineering and Frank Mcintyre
will enter the senior law class. Those
| of the old men who will return are
Gordon Carson Edwin Carson, George
c. Hayward. Campbell Krenson, Ralph
| Meldrim, Theo Basch, Jr., John Mona
han and Robert Newcomb.
The Tech Boys.
Those who are going to the Techno-
logical School are Wayne Warfield,
Earle Hartridge. Garrard Haines and
Hugh May. Charles Martin. Frank G..
Bell, Jr., William S. Rankin Alfred
Hartridge, Charles H. Strong, Jr, Sol
ONION Sutker, Charlie Ellis, Grover C.
Paulsen, George Cornwall, Elmore
Weeks, and Walter Hayward will re-
| turn to complete their course.
Captain Hall expects fully SOC
pupils, the largest attendance in the
| history of the institution. AS special
feature of the falx, work, Capt. Hall
says the apparatus for the new expert
mental and electrical laboratory will
begin to arrive the latter part of this
month, and the students themselves
will have the privilege of putting it in
place. Great practical benefit will be
derived from this. The new laboratory
has been fitted through the $40, OOC
| fund, half of which was donated by
the general educational board, and half
by the citizens of Atlanta.
