In last weeks issue we spoke OF
the increased interest being dis
played by the faculty in the athletic
question and of the benefits that
might be expected from it. This
time we wish to comment briefly up
on the work of the Committee or
College Athletics. and TO congratu-
late the members upon what they
nave accomplished. In the past
few years, William and Mary has
made great strides in progress in
nearly every line. Increased appro-
Driahons have been secured. new
courses installed and all the ole
courses greatly added to and
strengthened. In fact, our college,
from comparatively low place. has
been put in a foremost position
among the educational institutions
OF the state. All of these changes
were necessary. and have been great
ly beneficial. The faculty are prouo
OF their successes; the old alumni
are proud of il. and the students are
proud of It. There has been, how.
eyer. during all these years of prog
ress. one phase in college affairs
that has been entirely neglected
the promotion of close association
between professor and student.
This important work remained for
the faculty of the present year 10
carry out. and we say again that we
heartily congratulate the Committee
on College Activities upon what they
have accomplished.

The basketball season will again
open up for our team next Friday
night with the game in Newport
News with the Y. NJ. c. A. team of
that city. The following night. our
team will meet the Brambleton team
in Norfolk William and Mary has
already met and defeated Bramble-
ton once this season. and as It is
their custom TO defeat the Newport
News team il seems more than
likely that two more victories will be
piled up ere the passing of the week
to augment the glory of Manager
Schlossberg and his squad OF war
r.ors.
Its with genuine regret that we
note the departure Of J. L. Hall Jr..
familiarly known as less. from
our circle. Hall has been in the col
lege three years. was a member Of
the senior class and a prominent
student, prominent factor in the
hard-fought gridirOn battles Of the
past season, manager Of last years
basketball and captain Of the pres
ent seasons squad. and his absence
viii necessarily be much felt. At
the same time, while we regret his
departure, we cannot help feeling
proud OF the success he has
achieved and of the luster he has
thrown upon old William and Mary
thereby. Hall took the competitive
examination in Richmond. last fall.
for cadetship at Annapolis. Out of
a large class Of competitors repre-
senting nearly every college IN the
state. he made an average far sur
passing the highest of the others.
Hall left Saturday morning for Ann
aDoliS where ne will enter a training
school 10 prepare himself for the
courses taught at the Naval Acad-
envy. He will not enter the acad-
emy until late in the season.
