Local Debate Club
Will Sponsor
Tourney
Ovgr 25 students were present for
the first meeting of the Auburn Debate
Club held last Monday night.
Prof. E. D. Hess will again coach the
local debaters.
Discussed at the meeting were
plans for both an upper-classman and
freshman debate tournament to get
underway early next month. The
tourney will be sponsored jointly by
the Debate Club and Tau Kappa Alpha,
honorary forensic fraternity.
Suitable prizes will be awarded to
the members of the winning teams.
Prospects for a freshman team this
year are better than at any time in
the past says Prof. Hess, who also
states that plans are going forward
to have either the Oxford or Cambridge
English debaters appear in
Auburn sometime before Christmas.
The freshman debate question for
this year is: "Resolved That the
Several States Should Adopt a System
of State Medicine." The varsity
question will not be known until the
first of next month.
After Christmas it is planned that
both the varsity and frsehman teams
will make extended tours through
Alabama and several Southern states.
No definite schedule has yet been
arranged.
The club meets every Monday
night at 7 o'clock in 301 Samford
Hall. T. N. Powell is president of
the organization.

P. 0. Davis Recalls Visit Of Will Rogers To Auburn
Was Featured In Gymnasium Before Huge Crowd Of Students And Townspeople
CORRECTION
In last week's Plainsman it was
erroneously stated that the Thomas
Hotel would discontinue their dining
service. After remodeling is completed
this fall the management will
conduct two dining rooms so arranged
that they may be converted into
one large banquet hall.
By P. O. Davis
The tragic death of Will Rogers
refreshes the memories of many in
Auburn as to his visit here early in
March, 1928. His coming was sponsored
by the Auburn Kiwanis Club,
and his entertainment was presented
in the Alumni Gymnasium which was
filled to capacity.
Will arrived by train early in the
afternoon. He was met by the student
body. A ramshackled flivver
had been supplied with wings to appear
as an airplane in which Mr.
Rogers and a few others rode from
the station uptown. He was literally
surrounded by hundreds of people
on his way. It was difficult for
his "autophillian" to travel, so nu-
1 merous were his escorts.
As he entered the hotel the boys
yelled "speech". Will turned on the
steps and, chewing his gum as usual,
said: "Boys, I got some good ones
but I don't .tell 'em for nothing."
Chewing his gum a little more he
stammered out: "In looking at you
boys, I can't help but f eel that you're
all big enough to work."
After a few formalities and informalities
in the hotel, Will strolled
around the town, the crowd following
him. His purpose was to pick up
local color for his entertainment that
night. He did it beautifully, bringing
into his monologue a few Auburn
personalities with tradition and humor
around them.
We had a little dinner for him and
When we went to the hotel for him
he happened-to be washing his hands.
A knock on the door brought a voice
from within, "come in", reminding
us of the way students greet each
other. He was standing at the lavatory
washing his hands and humming
a familiar tune.
At the luncheon he talked briefly
but humorously, going from there to
the gymnasium.
We arrived at the Gym a few minutes
before time for starting his performance.
It was rather dark around
the Gym and Will, for his own personal
amusement, pulled his hat
down, stood on the outside, watched
his audience enter. When the starting
hour arrived there were several
students stranded financially on the
(Continued on page 4)
Holding their first meeting of this
scholastic year last Tuesday night,
the International Relations Club began
the year with 17 old members
back.
The meeting was opened in the
regular manner with roll call and
the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting. The members of the
club then inspected a large quantity
of literature received during the summer.
This literature consisted of
books, pamphlets and papers on various
foreign countries. A systematic
filing arrangement will be made
of these items and will .be placed in
the college library.
Among the new business brought
up was the discussion of keys for the
members Jhis year. The club plans
to investigate further into this matt
e r and it is probable that keys will
be available to the members some
time in the near future.
Several new members were proposed
at the meeting Tuesday night.
These students will be selected later
and announcement made to that effect.
The club plans to increase its
membership to their quota of .twenty-five.
It was decided that the same program
plan as used last year will be
used for this year, with each member
studying some foreign country and
reporting on it and with several outside
speakers.
The officers of the International
Relations Club for the first semester
are: M. H. Conner, President; T. N.
Powell, Vice^Pr'esident; and J. P.
Handley, Secretary and Treasurer.
The club voted to meet as it did
last semester on Tuesday night of
each week.
Miss Molly Brasfield, from Demo-polis,
Ala., has been selected by the
Social Committee to lead the Grand
March of the Sophomore Hop here
Friday night. Her escort will be
Jack Vann, president of the Sophomore
class.
Miss Brasfield attended Montevallo
last year and is registered at
Auburn this year in freshman art.
Chairman C. W. Walter of the
Social Committee states that plans
are progressing rapidly for the initial
dance in Alumni Gymnasium Friday
afternoon. During the Hop house
parties will be given for the visiting
girls by the Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa
Sigma, and Sigma Chi fraternities.
The contract for the decorating
the dance hall was awarded last week
to Alan Jacobs and Frank Jones.
Through the display of such parts
of a ship as the rigging and anchors
with the sea gulls, the scene will be
that suggesting a sea going vessel.
It will be both modern and conventional
says Jacobs.
Navy blue and sea green will be
used in the color scheme along with
red and blue silver. Through the
use of such color combinations it is
hoped by Jacobs that a "cool, breezy,
fresh atmosphere" will be created.
As in past dances the center drop
crystal ball will be used, reflecting
numerous colors as it rotates.
The back drop for the- orchestra
will be a large ship's wheel done in
red, bordared with sea green and
navy blue.
As the time for the dances approaches
considerable interest has
been manifest on the part of the
student body as a whole, and plans
are being laid for the largest opening
dances in the history of Auburn.
Thirty-Five Students
* Taken Into Glee Club
Two Vacancies Filled
In Social Committee
Shorty Williams was chosen from
the junior class and Norman McMul-lan
from the freshman class by the
Executive Cabinet to serve this year
on the Social Committee.
Williams is a Phi Delta Theta and
McMullan an S. P. E.
The first Glee Club try-out session,
held Monday night in Langdon Hall,
was termed a success by Mr. Lawrence
Barnett, who will be director
this year.
Auditions were held for 35 students,
all of whom were taken into
the club. This number will be augmented
some by the final try-outs
Monday.
Since the Glee Club is to make
trips and give concerts here this year,
Mr. Barnett is anxious to start regular
practice as soon as possible. To
do this, he proposes to have a short
business meeting of the club immediately
following the try-outs to discuss
plans for the annual Glee Club
banquet and dance and any other
subjects which might arise. Time
permitting there will be a short regular
practice after the business matters
have been settled.
Any one interested in Glee Club
work should be present at the meeting

Deferred Pledging
Numerous tales are now floating
quite freely about the campus and
are generally known concerning the
recent, rather interesting little battle
between the fraternities on the
campus. Probably -because of the
large amount of "good material"
this year, the annual free-for-all
was brought into the spotlight like
at no other time in the past.
After finally getting the prospect
into a corner where he figured he
might just as well get it over with,
and being deluged with a steady
stream of pretty sounding words so
'that his getting a voice in edgewise
was like cutting in on one of the late
Long's famed filibusters, the discussion
after about half an hour was
finally brought to the point and only
then was it discovered that the prospect
had already pledged another
fraternity. _
On other occasions it is known
that a few fraternities resorted to
unfair means in their effort to stick
a pledge pin on a muchly desired
man.
But probably the worst feature
of the present system at Auburn lies
in the fact.that there is really no
system at all. Hardly has the freshman
had time to unpack his grip
and get a bite to eat before he is
swamped with dinner engagements
galore and is pushed into such a
swirl of activity that he wonders
what it's all about.
One instance is known where a
freshman with a brand new pledge
button was asked by another what
lodge he had pledged. After little
thought the freshman had to frankly
admit he couldn't quite recall
what the name was. He admitted
that he accepted the button because
he got tired of listening to the arguments
of his would-be lodge brothers
and so took the thing in self
defense.
It seems to us that a freshman
comes to Auburn for the prime purpose
of registering in the college.
His thoughts are along that line
when he says good-by to the folks
back home. It is a new adventure
in his life, one to which he has probably
given considerable thought and
planning. Of course, it must be
admitted that this does not hold
true in all cases. Because some,
'tis sad but true, look forward to
college as something on the order
of a four-year vacation before one
has to buckle down to the grindstone.
But these represent a very
small fraction of the new students
entering college for the first time.
Hardly does the freshman strike
the town of Auburn than he is immediately
pestered and worried by
any number of fraternities that
would be simply overjoyed to have
him as a member. Not only is the
matter of studies pushed far into
the background to be considered
later but the freshman is allowed
little or no time to give serious
thought as to whether or not he
really wants to join a fraternity, if
so which fraternity he wants to join.
Unless he has the matter figured out
beforehand, it is probably decided
for him by somebody be has probably
met for the first time half an
hour previously.
Agitation for deferred pledging
at Auburn has been increasing for
the past several years. The Plainsman
feels that there is no time like
the present for such a system to be
put into effect, or be made effective
by the opening of school next fall.
It is known that many of the
larger fraternities on the campus
are highly in favor of such a plan.
It would allow at least a week at
the beginning of school at which
time no rushing would be done.
During this week the regular business
of registration and orientation
for freshman would take place. It
would allow time for the new students
to think about the matter or
else to not think about it at all
would be just as well.
During the second week in the
fall some method, other than that
now in effect, should be used to introduce
new students to the social
life at Auburm As a pattern from
which the Interfraternity Council
could cut their own design for a
deferred pledging system at Auburn,
reference is made to the method
now used by the Pan Hellenic
Council which has proved exceedingly
workable among the sororities.
It is for the Plainsman to suggest
and not to formulate plans governing
the action of the fraternities.
That responsibility rests upon the
members of the Interfraternity
Council. Considerable action along
this line is expected of them this
year, and it is hoped that Auburn
next year will have a plan that will
not only do away with the condition
that existed this fall but will also
be a credit to the fraternities on the
campus.
It Goes Deep
That which probably marks Auburn as a
"different" institution more than anything
else is the matter of sociability among the
students. It is a tradition that has continued
throughout the history of the college
and which it is hoped will never die out
or be forgotten.
It is this spirit which soon "gets one" at
Auburn. It goes down in deep and makes
those -who have graduated here long to
come back again. Those who leave here
always carry within themselves a little feeling
which might correctly be called a love
for Auburn. Nowhere is this same feeling
manifest as strongly as it is at Auburn or
means so much to those who have graduated
from here.
Kay Kyser and no doubt many of those
in his orchestra last year were more or less
disappointed in Auburn. They were used
to the gay lights and the constant noise of
a large city. Auburn to them at first
sight appeared to be just another little
town. But it didn't take long before their
first impressions were dispelled and replaced
with something just the opposite. In
meeting one from Auburn recently Kay
Kyser was reported to have said that he
always looked forward to the time when he
would make another visit to Auburn.
The outward sign of this "feeling" at
Auburn is displayed in the friendly "hi" or
"hello" heard all over the campus every
day when one meets another, whether he
be an acquaintance or otherwise. Auburn
is not only so many professors or so many
buildings but rather s,o many of these little
things in life that tend to cement people
together toward a common understanding.
Looking Forward
The ten-page issue of the Plainsman published
last week was largely made responsible
thrdugh the generous amount of advertising
in its pages. The paper was the
largest ever published at Auburn and contained
the largest amount of advertising of
any other Auburn paper published previous
to that time.
This may be taken as a significant fact
that business merchants in Auburn and the
near vicinity are expecting one of the biggest
years in the history of the city. While
other parts "of the country may still fret
and worry about conditions, there seems to
be little of such talk at Auburn. People
here are looking forward and not mooning
over something that has past.
Auburn has taken a new foothold—is
now making rapid,strides toward recovery.
With increased enrollment in the college it
may be expected that this year will be a
notable one in the history of the city and
college as well.
Most of the poor seem to keep healthy
at no expense.

LET'S DO THIS thing "Round And
Round". As entitled before "Trend
of the Times" it sat a little heavy on
a limited store of timely topics which would
be worthy of such weighty title.
Round one might begin with the Shi co-ed
who stopped on the street last Friday afternoon
and within ten minutes has enticed
a crowd sufficient for the success of any
dance to gather round. Well after all, it
was to be the second dance of the year and
a bid is worth hanging around for. But
it hurts me deeply when I think of how independent
Miss Shi was. And I do like to
dance!
And around about the time the Plainsman
came out last Thursday Blake Campbell
was about to get on editor Wallace for
naming him editor of the family album and
Graves as business manager. Campbell was
a little peeved because he had planned to
save that issue, too.
With the beginning of classes last week
Miss Holley was thrice called upon to sanction
a professor's statements about the
women of today. Keep it up Holley—those
things help. But Miss Holley didn't show
up at the second meeting of the class. Maybe
Holley knows more about these modern
women than she is willing to admit.
* * * *
ON CATS—Disturbed by a cat, mangy
and greasy made me hate cats. I used to
like them. But that was when I thought
all cats respectable and earning their living
stalking rats. This wasn't a respectable
cat.
It was in one of those all night hocus-pocus
cafes -where almost anything might
happen. The kind where cockroaches tumble
off the shelves into the coffee cups and
wiggle around 'till they die. Where the
frequenters lead as aimless life as the
cockroaches, but spend their last hours
struggling with a" bottle.
I was with a friend. He said there was
something funny about the place what with
no proprietor or even a loafing copper.
There was still the odor of stale grease
and burned coffee that comes with closing
time. The floor had just been oiled. It
was just the kind of place to expect reeling,
rocking drunks—not happy tights. None
showed up.
We climbed up to the counter and stuck
four elbows on its faded surface. There
was still no one and no noise except the
whir-r-r of the ceiling fan as it blew a few
lazy flies about our heads. No one came
from the back and I had lost my appetite
anyway so I slid from .the counter to
leave. Just as I did_a ball of gray-yellow
fur darted out from under the counter and
bounced with one hop to the counter top.
There this creature, a grisly, greasy prowler
began a stealthy promenade of the eating
counter. Now and then it would stop
and gaze back at the oily tracks it left. It
would stop and sniff at a sugar bowl,
twitching her broken whiskers in chagrin
as she discovered the top closed. She rubbed
along the napkin holders, arching her
back and looking at us with a wicked, I-may-be-
a-cat-but-what-of-it expression. As we
walked to the,door without having seen the
proprietor and no more desire to eat, the
possessive pussy darted to the front, jumped
to the floor and sat on her haunches in
front of the door. She looked at' me with
nothing short of disgust as I walked toward
her. She refused to move, but glared
at me. She never shifted her eyes to my
friend, but watched me and chewed on
something she had picked up from the floor
until we walked on and passed her.
That was the end of my association with
cats. Even the prettiest Persian has something
in its eyes that makes me think of
that dirty, stiff-haired feline cafe proprietor.
And incidentally I'll never eat at a
place where I see a cat hanging 'round.

and the file to begin the tedious entrance
into the heads of his history group.

ESSAY ON PANTS
Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men and
not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man,
that makes a pair of pants. Pants are like molasses; they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold weather. There has been much discussion as to whether pants
is singular or plural. Seems to us that when men wear pants it is plural, and when
they don't wear pants it is singular. If you want to make pants last, make the
coat first.

TYPICAL SUCCESS STORY
A tale is told of an editor who started poor 20 years ago and has retired with
the comfortable fortune of $50,000. This money was acquired through industry,
economy, conscientious efforts to give full value, indomitable perseverance and the
death of an uncle who left the editor $49,999.50.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR -
Editor, The Plainsman:
There are many traditional modes of action
in A.P.I. which need to be questioned;
indeed, there are many which need to be
abolished. One of the most urgent needs
for reform lies in the distribution of the
student-activities fees. Of course, the student
has no chance to determine how his
fee is used. The fees are distributed as a
self-appointed committee desires and it so
happens, for no given reason, that the
athletic department gets half of the total
sum paid in by the students of Auburn.
To date, there are about 2,100 students
registered at Auburn this fall. All of them
paid $10.00, without being asked whether
they wanted to or not; neither were they
asked how they desired the fee to be distributed.
The sum total for this semester
will be about $21,000. Athletics will get
about $10,500. Next semester the enrollment
may be expected to be at least as
much as this one, which will give a sum
total of about $14,805, since the fee is reduced
to $7.50 when the football season is
not in progress. Then we see that the
athletic department will get about $25,000
from the student body this year.
Naturally, the student who is not altogether
unconscious wonders if he gets an
equal return from the athletic department.
Most students do not get a return equal to
the money invested—invested, however, is
not the proper term; taken would be more
appropriate in this case, since the will of
the student is not taken into consideration.
There are many of the students who are
not able to finance the trips to the various
games, and therefore do not get any returns
for the money which they contribute
to athletics. Many of them work and could
sist on putting it on- thick with the result
that many of the male escorts will have
worn through the pair of shoes they had
planned to wear to the openings.
Some of this might have been prevented
if the chairman of the social committee had
arranged to sell a dance to each of the
women groups. That would be a grand
way to turn the tables on the women and
what a help it would be to necessary escorts.
Anyway, at the rate they are going to
soon have a finger in every pie on the campus.
We are leaving it to Coach Meagher
to keep the women from running out on the
field some day all padded up with a head
full of signals. They might not do so well
at football but it is a cinch that they would
be right on top in baseball, because when a
man can't even get to first base, the girl
can always walk in home I
not afford to lose the time to go to many
of the games, even if they had the money
to finance the trips. Those things are not
taken into consideration at registration
time, or at any time, for that matter. They
rightly should be considered. The athletic
fee should be put upon a volutary basis,
those not paying being admitted to the
games at the same price as those who are
not connected with ijhe school. Then the
students who are able to attend only a few
games could pay the admission of an outsider
and still save money. As the system
is now run, it is unjust and undemocratic.
Someone said, football is worth much
to the college. That may be true and it
may be false. It is not my purpose to debate
that question, although it is very debatable.
We may assume that it is worth
much to the college. Then, if that is true,
should the students who are unable to attend
the games help pay the expenses of
football, or should the college pay? If college
football is not self-sustaining, it is
not worth anything, anyway. It seems to
be very self-sustaining, however, judging
from the prosperity evident in that department.
There are more injustices than that.
There are some fifteen or twenty boys in
school, who, because of financial need, rent
cheap rooms that are not properly equipped
with bath facilities, and who rely upon the
gymnasium for that equipment. And only
this afternoon I met one of those boys lugging
a wet towel under his arm because
the athletic officials would not allow him
to use the ones in the stock-room at the
gymnasium'—the ones bought with his money!
That is unjust, too, although a small
matter within itself. Students should not
be denied the use of the gym equipment
just because they are not capable of athletic
attainment.
But the. greatest injustice of all is that
speech, lectures, and dramatics do not get
their share of the fund. The English officials
can not obtain a good lecturer because
of a lack of sufficient funds. On page
37 of the college catalog there is a statement
saying that the fees go to the support
of lectures, dramatics, and speech, as well
as to athletics and other activities. When
have the students listened to a good lecture
in Auburn? How many trips does the
Auburn debating team make each year?
And how good is the dramatic equipment?
Only one lecturer did we have the opportunity
to hear last season—Will Durant; and
there had to be a special arrangement in
order to obtain him. These departments
are not getting their share of the activities

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions

comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
WHAT with school a week old and
the smoke clearing away from the
fraternity houses we can at last
get a clear view of the new freshman crop.
But what's the difference? All freshman
classes look alike. They all flutter excitedly
about in registration lines while the
staid and important upperclassmen go dig-nifiedly
about their business (in the same
daze).
This class, like a hundred other freshman
classes brings its crop of All-American
football players who are just before creating
a nationwide sensation, if they can
just pass that 'ole demon freshman English.
And then there is the smart frosh who
has just discovered that he can cut classes
and get by with it. He doesn't know what
the twenty percent limit means, but he is
here to get everything that's coming to
him. And he will too—right in the neck
along about the time mid-semester exams
happen to catch them.
But our sympathy lies with the poor
freshman who lives in mortal terror of that
rugged symbol of rugged individualism, the
board. He walks lightly and prudently uses
the side doors of the dormitory. He breathes
softly and swears that it is a cruel and
unjust life, and writes down in his little
black book the names of ferocious sophomores
whom he swears to give a good working
over next year. But sad to state he will
not do so. Instead next year he will be
public enemy number one in some other
freshman's little black book.
Sooner or later we had to get to this
paragraph. It's a discussion of the freshman
girls. And while we're on the subject
why limit it to freshman girls? As usual
the crop of girls was muchly bragged about.
And again as usual they aren't quite what
we had expected, but then women never are.
fees and the athletic department is getting
more than its share for the service it
gives. It is time that we cease to be so
paternalistic in some ways and so uncharitable
in others. It is time the athletic
fees are made voluntary or time the fund
is distributed in another way—a more just
way.
Respectfully,
A Student.
AUBURN SOCIAL CALENDAR
Editor, The Plainsman:
Authorities everywhere are turning to
college society as a great factor in education.
The college heads here at Auburn
have proven, by offering an extended social
program, that they consider social life important
in the lives of college students. In
entering into the Auburn social life the
students are given an excellent chance to
make friends with the rest of the student
body. We really owe it to ourselves to take
advantage of these opportunities. Get out
early in your college careers and meet the
other students here at Auburn. They are
all fine fellows, pust like you and I, they
are looking for friends and connections to
follow on througf life.. The Auburn social
calendar offers aj great set up for making
these friends ant connections. It is up to
the students to take advantage of these
opportunities and to show some real interest
in the things here at Auburn that
are designed fori your own personal benefit.
During the past several yearsrat Auburn
there has been/ a constant howl for big
time orchestras for our dances. Last year,
due to much w>rk and worry on the part
of Squint Thrasher, chairman of last year's
social committer, we were able to obtain the
music of two (f the leading bands in the
country. The ommittee for this year has
started out to (arry on the good work. At
great expense ;hey have obtained for the
students of Au urn one of the most popular
bands in Ame ica. This is a brand new
experiment an as to whether or not the
students will sipport a large orchestra for
openings rema ns to be seen. The students
have howled f r a long time about the inefficiency
of t ie social committees in obtaining
large rands. Could it be that all
of this talk w< have been having to put up
with about wa iting big orchestras was due
to the lack off other things to talk about?
Certainly the pocial committee has at least
turned the talks on the students for once
and I can readily see that they will have
plenty to fusi about if the orchestra they
have obtained does not receive the proper
support. Whither or not we have big bands
for the rest <r the year and in future years
rests entirely on the student body. Dixie
is a long disbnce removed from the haunts
of America'i great dance bands. Getting
an orchestra to come South isn't as easy
a job as maty people think. They can only
be obtained through much expended money
and energy! It is up to the students to
prove to thj social committee that getting
large band: for us is a good investment.
Respectfully,
Social Committee.

A C0UE6E PROFESSOR DISCOVERED
That Often It Isn't a Student's Brain but his Pen
that Runs Dry—causes Failure—in Classes and Exams!
So he invented this sacless Vacumatic, and Parker engineered it to perfection—gave it
102% more Ink Capacity-—made its Ink Level VISIBLE, so it suddenly can't go empty!
YES, a scientist on the faculty of
tbe University of Wisconsin was
amazed to find bow pens that run
out of ink slow down classes, demoralize
thinking, and bring marks
that no student wants to write home
about.
His observations led to the birth of
the revolutionary Parker Vacumatic

Any good store selling pens will
show you how the Parker Vacumatic
eliminates 14 old-time parts, including
the lever filler and rubber ink sac
found in sac-type pens.
And due to this, it has
double room for ink, without
increase in size.

outside. He bought tickets for all
and admitted them.
At the conclusion of his show, he
announced a $200 gift to the Kiwanis
Club to be used as a scholarship for
a worthy student. After the show,
he came uptown and bought hot dogs
and hambergers for as many as cared
to participate. It was a free-for-all
party. When the bill was presented
it was $9.50, bringing from him the
remark, "We've got to buy more and
make it $10.00."
The next morning, Sunday, we
carried him to Tuskegee. After an
inspection tour over the campus and
buildings, we called on President
Moton. Dr. Moton delighted in telling
him of a recent trip he had made
around the world as a gift from his
board of trustees.
Will presented his Tuskegee entertainment
in the college chapel immediately
after church services. In
rambling along he remarked: "By
the way, I understand your president
has just had a trip around the world
as a gift from his board of trustees.
That reminds me of our preacher
out in Hollywood. He is a good fellow
and we all like him, but in
preaching he doesn't know how to
stop; so we just got up the money
and sent him around the world."
Enroute to Tuskegee, Mr. Rogers
spent the time reading the morning
papers and chatting. There was
nothing about him to impress him as
a celebrity of world-wide fame. He
was like having a close friend present.
His Auburn entertainment was enjoyed
by the largest crowd ever to
assemble in Auburn for an occasion
of this kind. It included Governor
and Mrs. Graves and many other
prominent Alabamians. AH were
agreed that it was rich in both humor
and logic and that it was a highlight
in Auburn's delightful life.
