DIR. Edwin A Alderman, President of
Tulane University, delighted large audi
ence at the Converse Auditorium last
Tuesday evening His subject being THE
Southern Boy and his Opportunities"
was naturally one very closely associated
with every Wofford student. The lecturer
began by paying a very beautiful tribute
to DR.. Jas. H. Carlisle, whose reputation,
he said, as christian gentleman and edu
Gator, has extended all through the South.
He dwelt on the difference between the
"old" and the new" South. The advan
tages of the Southern boy of to-day over
that one of the sixties" The lecturer de-
lighted his. whole audience, and many are
the praises being sung in honor of the
lyceum course.
Prof. Gamewell told the students, in his
Jolly good way, that no other lecturer
would be here until they had eaten their
Christmas turkey.
The mention of Christmas turkey serves
to remind US that the holidays are less
than one month Off Of course the boys
are feeling happy over this, but there is
something else not near so pleasant, we
are also reminded of those exams"
College breaks up for the holidays on the
twentieth and continues until through the
thirty-hrst.
The date of the Glee Clubs entertain
ment, moot court, has been fixed for
December 9th.
Tonight will be the occasion of one Of
the greatest and most pleasant social
| events during the entire college year.
| The senior class Of Converse will give 3
reception for the juniors of that college.
Many Wofford boys have received ''bids,"
and of course will be on hand to take
part in this very pleasant reception.
