COLE MISS SPEAKS"

l am the University OF Mississippi,
but say it with a catch in my voice.
Not that am ashamed of any history
or of my ability, but to be perfectly
frank, | am not proud Of my appear
ance. My work in the past speaks for
itself. Institutions are judged by
their accomplishments and l leave to
you to judge whether or not my at
tainments have been high. There are
men in every phase and walk of life
who have gone out with my teachings.
They have been successful and | am
not claiming any, honor but l will leave
it to you as to who gave them their
knowledge, who taught them the les
sons which they are making daily use
of?
1, the University of Mississippi,
head of the public school system, the
highest institution of learning in the
Magnolia state, am forgotten. | am
being allowed to crumble and become
dust. Do l deserve this for what l
have spent my life doing unto others?
am forgotten and forgotten is the
saddest of all words. l am neglected,
unkempt, yes, perhaps, | am even
abused.
My sister schools are becoming
greatr and grander each day while |
am becoming old and neglected. Have
their attachments been as great as
mine? Have they out-done me in
service or have they sent forth into
the world as many great men and
women as I? There must be partial
ity or else there is pure and unadul-
terated corruptness in holding back
from use the necessary needs that l
am due. will admit that | am proud
and for years l have patiently waited,
thinking that I would be given relief,
but relief has not come. l am for
gotten, and must speak to cutlery my
certain fall, unless am given atten-
ton. It hurts to beg but the sting OF
being forgotten hurts more. am
not begging am asking that my
present state of affairs and conditions
be looked into. / am too unselfish and
too unwilling to close my doors to the
seekers of learning. 1t is my duty
that l expound knowledge to those
who seek it. I cannot give knowledge
unless l am given relief.

Here's to you old monument,
OF proud States glory;
Here's to your stained halls,
Crouched with sacred memories.
Here's to the years your walls,
Have bravely fought with time;
Here's to you at last exhausted,
Alone and deserted by man.
Here's to the men you sheltered,
In the days Of your youth;
Men who have led the state,
In her long march of glory.
Here's to the love they bore for you
Throughout the journey of life,
Until time swept them on before,
Leaving you hallowed by their mem
Dry.
Left in an age of commercialism,
You are denied an honorable exit;
A last pitiful toll must be eXacted,
Even at your journeys end.
But in spite of imposed degradation,
TIE loving spirits of yesterday,
Seem to be yet lowering around;
Bidding you last farewell. +

uuWNS UNION
PILES UP A SCORE OF 1910
"Ole Miss" Quintette Shows Speed
But Has Not Quite Rounded
Into Form.

The basket ball team took the ag-
gressive Union bunch into camp last
Friday night by score of 4O-lO.
The Union boys put up game fight
but were oueclassed throughout the
game. Ole Miss scored twenty points
in each half, Union scoring practical
" all of her points at the beginning
of the second half, registering but one
lone point in the entire first half.
Henderson got in some good playing
at center and scored several of our
points before he was replaced by Sum-
ner, who easily outjumped the oppos-
ing center. The Ford brothers came
up to expectations and played the
stellar brand of ball that was expected
of them. Scruggs and Morris, at
guard, never allowed their men good
shots at the basket and tossed a few
goals themselves for cole Miss. Har-
per and Rape took the two forwards
during the second half and kept the
| ball on the move toward the home
teams goal. Mcdaniel and Lester
substituted at the two guards during
the last few minutes of play and the
men they were guarding did not cage
shot. With little more team work
cole Miss" will have formidable
team who can hold her own with any
other team. The team leaves Friday
afternoon for two games with the
