Senator La Toilette to Lecture.

Senator Robert NJ La Fo.lette will prob
ably be one Of the speakers before the
Civic Club this season.
Authorities at the university think we'll
Of the Wisconsin statesman, and are de-
termined to have him here as their guest
at some time when she will be in posi-
ton to cast aside his congressional du-
ties in Washington for a day or two.
His reputation as a public speaker
brought his name to the fore in the dis
cussion as to possibilities for principals
in a series of heart-to-heart talks on cur
rent topics of general interest.
The Civic Club is an organization that
has always been looked upon as a credit
to the university. 1t is composed of forty
students and ten members of the faculty.
The vacancies each year are filled by
election after being passed by the men,
bership committee. There are about TWEEN
ty vacancies among the student men,
bership this season, which will be filled
from a list of candidates.
Latest registration figures show a SUBJ
stantial increase since the last count
There are now 79S students attending the
different schools. or these 36S are in
the college department. 30 in the gradu-
ate department. 2OS in the law depart
ment. IS In the medicine department and
1OO In the engineering department.
At this time last session the registration
was less than 700. which seems to war

and furthering religious services in the
university chapel.
The general sentiment seems to be that
there has been a lack of appreciation
and interest shown among students this
year. Just what methods will be pur-
sued is a matter of conjecture, but it is
safe to say that the influence of the re
formers" is bound to show before the
close of the year.
1t is hardly expected that drastic steps
will be taken. DR.. Alderman practically
set all such conception at rest at recent
meeting when he stated most emphat1-
caIly that it was not his purpose to tell
the students what they should do as re-
CARDS the chapel services. They have
the right and they should reserve the
right, he said further of attending or not
attending as they saw fit. He merely
desired to state the conditions as they
exist at present, to show how the at
tendance of late has decreased until it
has reached a discouraging minimum

Granville, represented the student body
of the university at the conferences.

Lecture on Hebrew Codes.

| Another large and appreciative audience
listened to the sec ond lecture of series
on biblical subjects under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association
last Tuesday night
Prof Armstead Nj. Dobie. the speaker.
chose as his subject The Early Hebrew
Codes and Modern Jurisprudence.
Prof Dobie's talk treated of the infiu-
ence of the Hebrew codes on modern
jurisprudence. He showed what cardinal
principles of Jewish law have been re-
tanned modified and rejected. There is
no more interesting subject in the whole
range of knowledge than the evolution
of modern Jurisprudence. as was clearly
demonstrated in the forceful remarks of
the speaker
Rev DR.. ]. Ross Stevenson, pastor of
Brown Memorial Church of Baltimore, is
here today to Offioiate at the university
services. He is the guest of DR.. and Mrs,
Kent.
Invitations have been issued among the
university students and other friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lille, for the debut
reception of their daughter Miss Flea
nor Lille, Wednesday, October Is, from s
to 10 O'Clock pm
Miss Lille is a young lady of charming
personality. Last year she graduated
from seminary in Washington, where
she has spent the greater part of the past
few seasons.
Mr.. Lille is dean of the department of
law at the university, and IS widely
known.
Word has just reached here of the Won
derful success of Maurice Hirsch, for
mer University of Virginia student, who
after graduating here two years ago en-
tered the Harvard Law School.
Hirsch has been elected to the staff of
the Harvard Law Review considered by
many the greatest honor that can be con-
ferred by the university. Among the
eight selected for positions the staff
are Robert Taft, son of President Taft;
Charles Hughes, son of Justice Hughes,
and E. j. Seligman, son of Prof. Seiig-
man, the noted philosopher of Columbia
University.
At the University of Virginia Hirsch
established an enviable record and was
awarded the A. NJ. and A. 3. degrees.
He is also the possessor of a medal pre-
scented by the Washington Literary So
ciety for unusual efficiency in oratory

Martin Will Help Team.

The many friends OF Larry Martin, the
ex-captain of the University of Virginia
field and track squad, who established a
remarkable record during his career on
the cinder path, will be pleased to learn
that he has fully recovered from recent
operation for an attack of appendicitis.
Martins case was a most remarkable
one in that he was released from the hos
pital week after the operation was per-
formed. The success of the operation
was due to his exceptional physical con-
dition, which was largely responsible for
his excellent showing in athletics.
A pleasing personality and ability as
an athlete has earned for him a host of
friends throughout this section of the
country and resulted in his election to
the captaincy of the track team in 1910
and prominence in other college activi-
ties.
He will not re-enter the university, but
has promised to remain true to its cOlors
and aid I'm whatever direction he can.
Pop Lannigan will have his services in
rounding the track men into form until
about January /, when he will probably
devote his interests to farm that he has
purchased In North Carolina.
The Civic Club. one of the most promi-
nent institutions of the university, held
its first meeting in Madison Hall last
week, at which many topics of current
interest We're discussed
The most important development of the
opening meeting was an announcement
of the completion of a written report on
the life of mountaineers living in the
Ragged mountains, which Is due to the
efforts Of several members of the 1910
Civic Club. The report is highly inter-
esting. dealing with economic, religious,
educational and industrial features, and
includes, with other things, the status
Of marriage, the morals and the home
life of the mountaineer.
The work as 1t stands completed en-
bodies upward Of 1900 words. IL will be
published In pamphlet form. and copies
will be distributed among the public and
college libraries throughout the country.
