change views and TO derive benefit from
the lessons learned from practical eX-
perienCe Throughout the year

Chancellor Fulton, of the University of
Mississippi. who Is president of the As
Eociatfon. Three sessions were held yes

The business of the morning consisted
Of an Informal discussion OF the ques-
ton OF religious exercises in State Uni
versitiss. Prof. Henry F. Eachtried, Of
the University Of Minnesota, opened the
discussion. It was found there was a
wide divergence OF practice IN the. differ
ept State universities regarding the
conduct Of chapel exercises.
IN some universities these exercises
are compulsory; in others voluntary:
in still others. like Wisconsin. religious
exercises have been forbidden by. deeis-
ion Of the Supreme Court. In nearly all
Sases. however. reports IRON different
sections Of the country were that re-

Result of Election.
The evening session was given up to
a discussion of the scholarships in Ok
ford bequeathed to 100 American stu
dents by the viii OF Cecil Rhodes. the
South African millionaire. The session
lasted until nearly midnight, when the
annual election Of the association was
held. It resulted rs follows: President.
George E. MacLean. president of the
University OF Iowa; vice president. = A.
Baker, president of the University OF
Colorado: secretary and treasurer. E 4
Bfrge. president Of the University OF
Wisconsin,; executive committee. B. F.
Fulton. chancellor Of the University OF
Mississippi. and George E. Fellowes,
president of the University of Maine
The discussion of the Rhodes scholar
ships was opened by President George
E MacLean OF the University of Iowa.
and replied to by President z. g. Nc
Lean of the University OF Idaho. The
principal point Of dinercnco was that
he latter did not favor competitive eX-
animation for the scholarship, while the
former approved the method.
George R Parlzin of Toronto. Canada,
who is agent Of the administration Of
the scholarships in America was pres
ent. and expressed himself gratifed by
the interest displayed in the two papers
read. He said he had found it useless
to 90 anything with regard to the pro
visions of the viii until he had first
made a trip to England and con
ferred with the executors of the
will. and had ascertained the views af
the authorities of Oxford. He described
the somewhat medieval conditions and
customs which exist at the ancient Eng
lIsh University. and said he found the
college authorities somewhat nervous
/ over the accession Of about 100 OF 50
American cowboys.

ligious exercises were an important part
OF the educational system in the State
universities; that large numbers CT stu
dents attended these exercises even
when under no compuIsion to do so
Control of Athletics.
Al the afternoon session the important
question Of whether into@ ,'egiat e
athletics should be under university con
troll was discussed.
The discussion was opened by Prof \.
Z. Birge. of the University Of Wiscon
sin, who gave a detailed account OF the
history of the control of athletics at the
State University Of that State He eE-
planned how athletics in its develop
ment has passed from the exclusive con
troll Of students to the control Of a
council consisting of members of the
student body of the alumni, and of the
faculty.
The discussion was next taken up by
President ". L Prather. of the Uni
versity of Texas. who said in part:
The declaration last Wednesday of 2
7 assume it to be self-evident that
every university must pass regulations
which, among other things. exclude from
its athletics any but bona fde students;
it should insist on at least minimum
OF classroom efficiency on the part Of
all participants; it should require the
maintenance Of a high standard of anna
teuT craftsmanship; and strongly en-
courage financial honesty and honor in
ali business dealings
But rules will not enforce themselves,
and We must ask what individual or
body is to be invested with the authority
and responsibility for enforcing the rules
suggested. And here the essential spon-
taneity of athletics. and the proper and
natural interest in them of every uni
versity, and OF the alumni and friends,
together furnish the answer:
Student Responsibility
First. a large measure Of student
responsibility and control is quite in
dispensabIe: to take athletics entirely
out Of the hands of our students would
be to degrade it from play into work.
and to destroy the raison d'etre of its

Informal Discussion.

After this paper was read an informal
discussion took place touching upon the
general merits Of college athletics. and
especially football The general con
sensus OF opinion was that college ath-
letics were of distinct value in promot-
ing Intellectual efficient. habits of tenn
Perance, a feeling Of loyalty, and other
good points that make for college dis
cipIine
Prof. Nachtried held that where the
committee of control was determined to
enforce rules establishing clean ath-
letics. IL was not difficult to secure good
results in collegiate sports. Prof Baker
emphasized that every effort should be
made to rid college intercollegiate ath-
letics OF the vice Of gambling.
President Ellis suggested that there
was too much hustling in different col
Ieges TO secure athletes who came to the
university for the purpose of personal
gain. The general report, however. was
that this was an evil that was difficult
to handle and likely to be diminished

educational efficiency. Second. athletics
make strong appeal 10 the alumni and
friends Of the university, and is a po-
tent means for keeping alive their help
full interest. We have all. doubtless, had
our experiences with the low standards
and high enthusiasm of our alumni and
friends: we know how well they mean
and how badly they perform in matters
athletic, and others as well. and YET none
of us, probably. would OF should be
willing TO deny ourselves their assist
ance in this OF any other direction.
We need them, and. by giving them d
proper measure of responsibility and
control, We can probably best aid them
in doing the service they are IoyaUy
eager 10 perform. The third party, in the
control Of athletics, must needs be the
university itself. On the officers lie the
brunt Of the responsibility, By them is
made possible the greatest continuity OF
policy and healthiest evolution of prac-
teal ideals, and in them exist the widest
information and. probably. as we may
say without immodesty, The highest
training
In short. athletics should be submit
ted 10 a mixed control. Probably the au-
thcTity should be vested in single body
containing representatives of students
alumni and college officers But, and this
Is point Of great Importance, in this
directive body the college representa-
ton must necessarily act as the pre-
dominant partner Without that preeau-
ton continuity of policy. security of ac-
ton, based on a wide knowledge Of uni
Yersity interests as a whole and a
genuinely awakened sense of response
bility, cannot be secured.

The West Indies Excursion.

The Quebec Steamship Company has Of
fered the passengers on the wrecked steam
ship Madiana tickets from Bermuda to New
York and to refund the money they paid for
the West Indian trip on condition that the
passengers sign an agreement not to make
any claims for damages. They also gave
those who wished to continue the original
cruise, except so far as it included all ports
in Porto Rico and Cuba, the opportunity of
doing so on one of the companys Wes5 In
dian vessels, but could not provide any one
vessel that would carry all the excursionists.
Eleven passengers and 81 men OF the crew
of the Madiana arrived at New York Feb
ruary 10Th, on the Pretoria, also of the
Quebec S. S. Company. They say that the
heroine of the disaster was Mrs. Lydia F.
Luke of West Newton, Mass, who is almost
70 years old, and who inspired even the men
at trying moment by her GOODNESS and
courage.
Chas. F. CHM received letter from his
partner, Ben D. Field, dated at Hamilton,
Bermuda, Feb. 18th. Mr.. Field states that
the passage out was very rough, and that
the party on the Madiana was a jolly one.
He says very little about the shipwreck,
but has mailed newspapers giving full re-
ports, and has photographs of the wreck.
Messrs. Field and White are in a party Of
twenty who were to sail Feb. 14th for St.
Kits, Trinidad and Jamaica.

the way in which the journey of life may
be made useful, prosperous and happy, and

Soon after the company repaired to the dim
ing room, where the table-heavily laden
with all good things that could possibly
tempt the appetite-was materially tighten

Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer"

The secret is out and Belfast can go on

No it can't, either. Belfast is not going
to be what it was before. Its houses are
going to be brighter its people little more
their money left to buy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this: you can
paint building with fewer gallons Of De-
voc Lead and Zinc paint than with mixed
paints, and it will wear several times as
long as a building painted with lead and
oil mixed by hand. What will people do
with the rest of their money! Mason &
