+ This Is the verdict of all. President
Boatwright Is delighted. He Is encour-s
aged greatly; calm Eand graufied on
looking back. eager and hopeful as his
eyes span a. short vacation Of three
months and behold the bright rim Of the

They have gotten everything they have

WON CUP AFTER CUP.
This unparalleled success began In the
fall, when the State cup for the winning
football team was triumpha1atly brought
to the college. During tho fall the col-f
lege sent Its football team into North
Carolina to defeat the Tar Heels on tha
gridron, and several young men went
along and brought back tile Old North
State debating cup. which the savanta
of Wake Forest College could not hold
against them. When one OF the signs
OF spring was seen In the twtrllng OF
the horsehide and the shying OF curves
at the man behind the bal, the Richmond
College team sailed forth and brought
back the State baseball cup. Trophies OF
this character are so plentiful at the col-
lege now that students are often said
to be .in their cups when no harm at
all Is meant
