SAMUEL HUSTON COLLEGE
MAKES RAPID STRIDES UN-
DER NEW ADMINISTRATION

Austin, Texas, Jan, 14.-September
Is, 1926, marked the opening of Sam
uel Huston as recognized Class A
College under the new leadership Of
President t. R. Davis, AN, Univer-
sity of Chicago, and former president
Of Walden College, Nashville, Tennes-
see. Broadmindedness, alertness and
other similar qualities distinguish
President Davis as a progressive, en-
ergetic and modern young leader.
The school is very fortunate this
session in having in addition to its al
ready well-strengthened faculty, new
members representing Howard, Lin
coin, Ohio State, Harvard, University
of Denver and University of Pennsyl-
vania. Degrees, ranging from the
Bachelors through that Of Doctor of
Philosophy, are held by different
members of the faculty.
There is likewise an increase in the
student group as compared with that
of last year, and the group has main
tanned, to a marked degree, very
high grade Of scholarship throughout
the autumn quarter.
Never before in the history Of the
school has there been as eventful and
brilliant football career as was the one
experienced the past season. The
Samuel Huston Dragons" at the
close Of the season, were proclaimed
the undefeated champions of the
Southwest Conference. The most
noteworthy career Of the Dragons"
was directed by Coach William S.
Taylor, Lincoln University, Pennsyl-
vania, who, by his successful coaching
and excellent supervision, led the boys
to that much coveted goal.
In addition to the successful strides
made along athletic lines there have
been ever-increasing additions made in
the academic field. A department Of
Modern Languages was this year be-
gun headed by Professor J. Mason
Brewer, University of Denver, who
for several years during the Worlds
War, served as French interpreter
abroad
With these varied and fruitful ex-
periences the administration. faculty,
and entire student group hope for
nothing other than continued success
in the coming days.

Chicago is grateful to the members
Of the Louisiana Social and Beneficial
Club Of Illinois for one of the most
spectacular and novel affairs ever given
in this city. One could readily see the
hand Of those who are accustomed to
the handling Of such affairs and too
much can not be said in praise Of the
untiring efforts Of Mrs. Camille Cohen
Jones, the president, and her loyal sup
porters for making this one Of the
events in entertainment for Chicago
ans. The interest in the progress of
the royal party was at high pitch and
every few minutes the Duke Of Or
leans, represented by F. II. Matticx,
announced their progress from their
arrival at the Chicago Link Bridge, to
their first stop at the Congress Hotel,
where they were made welcome by
city officials and their next stop at
Michigan and 35th, where they were
greeted by representatives Of the col
ored press, and finally their arrival at
the Catholic Mems Club, where they
arrived amidst fanfare Of horns and
all kinds Of toots Of auto horns and
screams Of the on-lookers. Upon their
arrival, they marched into the hall to
the grand march from aida" and
from all sides ordinations of delight
were heard, for they were really and
truly regal The line of march was as
follows: Led by Mrs. Edna Clarke and
pages, Marie Phillips and Irma Flow
ers; Their Majesties: Louis Henri
PHILIPPE, Langlois the First. King Of
France, SEVERN Langlois, His Queen,
Maude E. Jackson; Prince de Cont,
William Beasley, Princess de Cont,
Mrs. E. Dry; Marguerite de Valois,
Camille Cohen Jones; His Eminence,
Charles, Cardinal Of Bourbon, Arch
bishop and Count Of Lyons--Incog-
nito; Duke de Guise, Paul E. Johnson;
Duchess de Guise, Cynthia Jenkins;
Duke of Bergundy, Duchess Of Ber-
gundy, and other dignitaries; Prince
de Berth and Princess de Berth,
James de Warren and Leona Bailey;
Chicot, the Jester, II. George Daven-
port; The Seeress, Geneva Morgan
Johnson.
After ascending the throne and see
ing that his guests were properly
looked after, His Majesty delighted
the guests by throwing gifts to them
for them TO catch said favors. Gorge
GUS costumes held sway in this royal
party and after half an hour a herald
the banquet was in readi-
ness and again did they march while
others danced.
Over one thousand filled the Cath
olic Mems Club, mostly Loyal Louis
ianans and had taste Of the good old
times they had at home, and which
they can have here if they so wish. On
every side, Mrs. Camille Cohen Jones
was congratulated, and asked to con-

Tuneful Tales, BY Bernice Love
Virgins. Copyright 1925, privately
published.
From out Of the Far West come
these truly "Tuneful Tales" Of the
universal spirit of all mankind and Of
the life Of the Negro folk. Miss Wig
gins shows all the spirit, the ferver
and the verve Of the true poet. She is
high priestess of the cult of the inner
life. From lifting tunes that one al
most sings in reading, to the serio-
humorous Negro themes, and on to
the religious and didactic poems, one
is conscious of strange innate power
in this young woman.
When Miss Virgins work is read,
one is conscious of the fact that the
poems are the result of changing
moods, that they grow out Of varying
life experiences, that here is human
being who has successfully bitten the
dust, lived in sackcloth and ashes, and
at other times lived on the mountain
tops. And it is from the clear and in
vigorating altitude of the topmost
peaks that Miss Virgins has done her
best work.
The author comes nearer to great
ness in what might be called the true
poems; when she steps outside the
Geld of racial life and the religious
themes:
Il can sing a cheerful lay
Sing Of lovers happy, gay,
In a ripping, rhyming rhythm that
will thrill.
/ can make this old world smile,
And forget its care awhile,
And / will"
Here is not only good versifcation
but also absolutely good poetic writ
ing. This reviewer feels, however,
that Miss Virgins has done her best
work in the sonnet. What Is Lover"

/ asked a mountain, standing firm and
proud,
@Ah me, know not" still he kissed
a cloud.

the shore,

and a great deal more. There is a

seems that religion is inevitably the
refuge Of all persons and groups that

been the lot Of this young woman.
Miss Virgins should keep going.
She has found her true field. Il IS sug-

American Mercury

The circulation figures Of the Amer
lean Mercury are large enough to give
US hope The last figures say that
over 100000 Americans will read this
publication for the current month.
Who would have thought it possible?
One hundred thousand Americans in
telligent and liberal enough to even
read such magazine as Mercury.
Of course, over against this one
must put the over two million figure
of such slop sheet as True Stories
and the thousands Of equally shiny

are the other dunghill monthlies, Of
the True Story type that litter every

"Not Guilty"
Twelve good men and true have said
that Fall and Doheny are not guilty
as indicted. Not only this but each
of these twelve men said as they were
being drawn that they had read moth
ing about this infamous case and had
formed no opinion concerning it. Can
you beat it? Twelve full-grown men
claiming to be intelligent had buried
their heads under pillow, or in the
sand or in their various professions
and businesses and had totally exclud-
ed the outside world for a period Of
a year or more. Who believes that
there are in all these United States
as ignorant as we are-there are twelve
men who are so stupid, mentally senile
and dumb? These men must have had
some sort Of bunch that they would be
called for this particular jury.
It's a long way from the barons
beseiging King John at Runnymede
to our present trying a man by a Jury
of his peers" / am Of the opinion
that it would be far better to dispense
with such a travesty and have all trials
and decisions rendered by three or
more trained judges. The jury system
seems to have outlived its usefulness.
