A HISTORY OF THE FAIREST
VILLAGE OF THE PLAINS
According to figures compiled and
given by Prof. B. L. Shi, college re­gistrar,
there is a total enrollment
of 1519 students in the college this
year. This is the largest enrollment
in the history of Auburn. The sta­tistics
show that there are 500 fresh­men
enrolled, 413 sophomores, 359
juniors, '425 seniors, 16 graduate
students, and 28 special students.
Such a large crowd makes it hard
for the college^ to accommodate all
of the students, although they are
being cared for and class facilities
are provided in every case.
Electrical engineering is the most
popular course in college according
to enrollment. The total number
enrolled in this course is 368 stu­dents.
The majority of these stu­dents
are now housed in the new
Erskine Ramsay Engineering hall
which was dedicated and f ormly open­ed
on Oct. 10. The college engineer­ing
department is headed by Dean J.
J Wilmore who has associated with
him Prof. A. C. Dunstan, head pro­fessor
of electrical engineering.
Other popular courses are the gen­eral
course with 233 enrolled, the
course in civil and highway engi­neering
with 165 enrolled, the course
in mechanical engineering with 113
enrolled, the course in agricultural
education with 112 enrolled, the
course in secondary education with
112 enrolled and the course in agri­culture
with 104 enrolled.
Other courses with large enroll­ment
are pharmacy, architecture,
home economics, chemistry, archi­tectural
engineering, premedical and
veterinary medicine.

Is R e n d e r ed
In 1855 the Methodists of Alabama
r.eld a conference at Eutaw, Alabama
to decide upon a suitable location for
the male college in the bonds of this
religious body. As Eutaw was lo­cated
in the western part of the
state, more delegates from that part
of the state were present. The re­sult
was that the college was located
at Greensboro, Ala., in the western
part of the state.
The Methodists in the eastern part
of the state were not satisfied with
the conferences decision to locate
the college at Greensboro and im­mediately
began raising money for a
school to be established in the eastern
part of the state. A charter was
issued for the first Alabama male
college on Feb. 1st 1855. Trustees
were named and taking immediate
On Nov. 30th of the same year at
a Methodist conference at Eufaula
the new college presented its claims
for denominational support. After
heated debates it was decided to take
the East Alabama Male College un­der
the patronage of the Methodist
Church.
The civil war came on, and as usual
Auburn did her' bit in the great
struggle between the north and the
south. Her students formed volun­teer
companies and her buildings
were used as hospitals.
The regular college session began
again in 1866, with the reverend
James F. Dowdell as president. In
1869 the reverend Alex McVay suc­ceeded
Rev. Dowdell as president.
The trustees of the East Alabama

Women's Athletic
Association Meets
The four literary societies, Wilson­ian,
Wirt, Websterian, and Evans
held the first annual joint meeting
in the history of the literary societi­es
Tuesday night in the Engineering
Auditorium commerating the Armis­tice
day celebration.
J. M. Edwards of the Wilsonian
presided as chairman of the meeting.
The program started with "events
leading up to the Armistice" by R. C.
Cargile of the Evans society. He told
of the split between the chief Ger­man
Generals, Ludendorf and Von
Hindenburg, which broke the moral
of the German armies. The combin­ing
of the entire allied forces under
one command, General Foch was also
another great factor in bringing the
war to a speedy end. The morale
of the German troops was destroyed
and they saw the American troops
withstand any German assault. F. L.
Brown of the Wirt Society discussed
the "Outstanding personalities of the
World war". He named Wilson as
heading the listj who desired fairness
to all and had a touch of humanity
which no other delegate had. He will
probably live longer in the minds of
the people than any other man. Clem-enceau
the tiger of France would
probably rank second. He was chair­man
of the meeting and always had
the desire to promote the French in­terest.
Lloyd George would rank
third being a man with a wonderful
personality and much wit. He was
also a very clear, quick, and con­cise
thinker. Orlando ranks fourth,
as he was very diplomatic and de­sired
to give a square deal to all.
The greatest general of the war was
General Foch who was the greatest
strategist of the world war and will
always be worshipped by the French
people. General Perishing was di­rectly
responsible for the united
command of the allied armies. Gen­eral
Bullard will always live in the
lives of the Americans. as the man
who did not know how to retreat.
Next on the program was a violin
duet by Foster Thomas and S. S.
Romano. A. P. Francis of the Evans
society discussed "the peace confer­ence
at Versailles." He told of the
establishing of the supreme council
made up of the five greatest nations.
The military and naval strength of
the German was reduced and they
had to restore Alsace and Lorriane
to France also to pay the various
nations reparations. .Miss Mildred
Locke of the Wilsonian society gave
a patriotic reading on "Armistice"
O. F. Wise of the Wilsonian society
then spoke on "the league of na­tions,"
stating it was the greatest
issue of its kind ever to arise. Wood-row
Wilson gave his life for the lea­gue.
It also provided for a world
wide labor 'union. He gave as pro­bably
the reason the United States
did not enter the league was. because
Wilson was a Democratic president,
with a congress that was fast letting
the Republicans gain the upper
hand. Miss Alberta Proctor of the

County High School
Offers New Courses
"The most important attribute of
quality that will count in the future
is the quality of being dependable,"
Judge Virgil Bouldin, justice of the
state supreme court from Jackson
county declared at the convocation
for upper classmen today.
"The basic of all the institutions
is confidence, faith, and trust, these
three are the basis of social life, the
home, and the family. With the de­struction
of faith the country has
divorces, murders, and suicides and
the quality of dependability covers
more than the intention to do the
straight thing. The longest and
most dreadful result of the world
war was that the sacred pacts were
merely regarded as scraps of paper.
Dependableness creates faith and con­fidence
and ones circle of influence
is enlarged, and as one grows more
dependable there is no limit to their
field of influence. Merely wishing
to go straight won't get us very far
as we must be willing to pay the
price. The universe is a challenge
to the field of endeavor, all the na­tural
resources must be utilized by
hard work as nature discloses only
to him who is willing to pay the
price.
"If this generation progresses any
farther it must go through the line
of resistance by going even farther
than he who has gone the fartherest.
This requires purpose and the will
to achieve the greater and nobler
things of this wonderful age. Any
thing that destroys ones self-respect
prevents you from performing the
task that is ahead of you. Personality
is the resultant of the things that
a person does and acquires and as
long as the good people are impress­ed
with your acts you can consider
your self a man. When a man deve­lops
the personality that makes him
dependable he is a complete man and
becomes a dominating figure in the
world of influence. The first marks
of a gentleman is adherance to the
golden rule.
"We are indeed living In an unu­sual
age, and the next twenty-five
years is going to watch the largest
material growth in this country than
it has ever seen before and our na­tive
state Alabama will be the center
of activity." ,
In conclusion in his reference to
Alabama Judge Bouldin painted a
beautiful word picture of the state
as a mother, with a beautiful neck­lace
in the form of the magnificient
Tennessee river in the north, a bosom
of rich mineral deposits, a girdle of
white cotton around her waist, and
with her feet in the balmy waters
of the gulf.

COLLEGE LIFE
|Iany arguments have been advanced
and con regarding the benefits derived
Ifrom a college education. The question
kirises as to what the purpose of a college

what has been gained by accom-llishing

jife of a college man.

education are comparable with the

of debate. The answer to the satisfac-!

and cents. It is for those- who should-the

A boomerang has been described as an
object that, when hurled from a giyen
point will return intact unless it strikes"

\ put forth by a college man. Conscientious
land dilligent work will bear fruit, not that
it will lighten the responsibility for there
is much truth in the writings of Ecclestias-tes:
"In much wisdom is much grief; and
I he that increaseth knowledge increaseth
f sorrow." Just as a college education argu-
I ments our abilities for joy and pleasure, so

sorrow. The world expects more of a col­lege
graduate so our opportunities for ser-f
vice and responsibility are multiplied.
L /' Therefore college training does not imply.

Neither can be called model students, but \
r— they may be found on any campus in the
universe. On the one hand the thing is
overdone, and on the other something is
lacking. We do not belittle either case,
would that we were endowed with a portion
of the qualities possessed by them. Occas­ionally
we find one who has overdone
everything. He has been disposed of in
short order and is reaping what he has
sown—he's getting dividends from what
he has invested, a rather sordid investment.
It is a difficult thing to strike upon a*
happy medium in anything. Never-the-less
it is true that a fair share of interest taken
in the various phases of college life will
bear fruit. The colleges are not to blame
for those who are miserable failures. What
would have become of them had they not
gone to college?
This is by no means an attempted solu­tion
of so great a problem. After pond­ering
over the subject this is the results
of juvenile and more or less, immature
thinking. We are deeply indebted to the
person transporting the idea to us, and here
we thank him or her, as the case may be.
Possibly some day we may be in a posi­tion
to'treat the subject from a more.cri­tical
angle and decide for ourselves an­swers
for our own satisfaction. Maybe?
OUR PRESENT HONOR SYSTEM
Is our present honor system working
as it should? In some ways "yes" and in
a great many other ways "no". Then in
what ways is it working? About the only
appreciable result obtained so far is the
fact that the Rats are no longer filling a
major portion of the seats in Langdon
Hall during upperclassmen's convocation.
The students are to be commended for the
spirit they have shown in this line, by co­operating
with the Honor Board in stamp­ing
out this evil. It is just as much a
violation of the Honor System to secure
false attendance at convocation, as it is
to crib on a quiz.
In what ways is the system failing to
work? First, it is not bringing its offend­ers
to the bar of justice as it should. Then,
who is to be blamed for this failure on the
part of the System? YOU AND I ARE TO
BE BLAMED. No one else can be justly
blamed. Do we treasure our individual
honor? We should treasure it above all
other things. Then what should we do?
Turn up the best friend we have, if we
see him cribbing? That is strictly in com­pliance
with the wording of the Honor
Code. The new Honor Code does not say
that a man shall be shipped for his first
offense. It only disqualifies him in the
subject in which he cribbed. That is just
enough for any man, and you are befriend­ing
your friend, by turning him up. Who
knows but that it will cause him to change
his tactics and, save him some embarrass­ment
in the future? No doubt it would
change the whole course of his life.
Another factor making against the
Honor System (as the writer sees it) is,
the fact that there are some members of
the Faculty who do not believe in it, and
express their opinion before the students.
Some professors watch a class, like a
hawk, while they call the roll, or even
during examinations. Some scatter the
students out all over the room, and then
watch them. Is this giving the Honor
System a chance to work? It is not. No
system can work, unless it has the whole­hearted
support of all concerned. Some
professors say that fifty per cent of their
students crib, and get by while they are
in the room. Is their evidence conclusive?
If so, why don't they turn in their evi­dence
to the Honor Board? We know of
no better way of putting the System into
effect than for the Faculty to back it. If
they only suspect a student of being dis­honest,
why not have a private talk with
the suspected one and try to change him?
In the writers opinion, the above-mention­ed
evils are doing more to tear down the
Honor System than any other agencies.
Give a student a chance to be on his
honor, and he won't think he has the right
to crib, that he would if he were watched.
A man put on his honor will stay on the
straight side much longer than the one
who feels that he is already being dis­trusted.
Let's try it and see how it will work.

THIS WEEKS SHORT STORY
A little red cap with a black F looms
in the distance, resting peacefully on some
Georgia Rat's dome: A few Auburn Rats
draw conclusions that they have certain
rights to said cap. Carefully maneuvering a
wild swing, a mad dash and the Georgia
Rat is pursuing the Auburn Rat in quest
of that piece of apparel which is so es­sential
to his welfare when he returns to
his Alma Mater.
The other Auburn Rats conventiently get
in the path of Georgia Rat and an audible
thud followed by a crash, is heard as both
parties come in contact with the some­what
substantial pavement. By this time
the cap and its new owner are some few
miles away swallowed up in the swaying
multitudes. The Georgia Rat decided to
release all rights of possession to the cap
and trickled off down the street bare­headed.
Another crimson tipped cranium is
sighted and the chase begins over again.
When the ardent pursuers reach their ob­ject
they find a somewhat different occa­sion.
This owner of the little red hood is
accompanied by several stalwart young
hefties, who seemed ready for any rough
stuff. Right then and there the ardent
pursuers became less interested in the
capture of the coveted prize and strolled
by as innocent looking as an eight-rock
in a chicken house.
It was a common sight to see a pair of
Rodents chasing another over the byways
of Columbus, Saturday. Some resulted in
sudden' contact with one's fist and the
others jaw, but it was all with brotherly
spirit. Sometimes the action was reversed
and the owner of the orange colored head­gear
headed a posse in pursuit of the vil-lian.
Often he was overtaken and over­whelmed
too. An Auburn Rat has been
trained never to part with that particular
part of his clothing which adorns his head,
or worse will follow.
A shrill toot, the iron monster comes
loping round the bend and draws up in
front of the station. The throng of stu­dents
scramble aboard on their way to
Columbus.
"Catch the last chariot," a Rat howls
and a group of Rats caught it as it limped
slowly past. It was one of these 1066
models, carbon lights, wicker seats, etc.
But who cared so long as the old hack
rolled on, only they did not know just
when it would cease its forward progress.
. By this time, we were hustling along up
the track at a rapid pace. A bunch saun­ters
up through the cars, observing the
passengers and other scenery at random.
Finally the band car—and stray notes are
seen floating around in the atmosphere
hither, thither, and anon. They get am­bitious
and blow themselves to a tune
which was appreciated by all those left.
All of a sudden some one lets out a wail
and we are informed that he just has that
good old AUBURN spirit—Hurrah for him!
An energetic Rat passes ofering us bar­gains
in "ice-cold chasers for the small
sum of 10 cents. Another implores us to
eat "ground-peas" for only a nickle.
Opelika is sighted and the cars are
switched—not spanked—just changed over
on the C. of Ga. tracks to take us on and
on and on and so on ad infinitum.
Our dear cheer leader comes back and
parks his weary frame in our car. A fair
damsel takes her place beside him and
all goes well. We stroll up the corridor
to learn some news and find a few gentle­men
down on allfours, interested in some­thing
on the floor of the baggage car. We
were informed that they were looking
through a knot hole counting the cross-t
i e s ^ ) .
The occupants of the 35th car go wild
over something and invite the approach­ing
members of the fair sex to share their
seats. The Rats give them 15 rahs and
beat it to another car—just too modest—
you know?
The conductor came by and said we
would have to show our tickets or ELSE!
Most chose the former, not knowing the
exact meaning of the later and they did
not care to learn just at present.
A few Rats who go out for track de­cided
to run up and the train for a good
workout. They were halted in the midst

Everything went along as smooth as a
pine-bur for a few miles and Columbus
hovers into view to the starboard. We
cross the river and drop anchor in the
station without a single casualty, several
cases of sea-sickness were reported, though.
The train unloaded like a spill-way, and
Columbus was here. Hurrah for the Choo-

We note in the "Technician" of North
Carolina State College that there is to be
a meeting of the North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association in Chapel Hill this week.
It seems that delegates from all college
magazines, periodicals, papers and annuals
published in the state of North Carolina,
are to be there and discuss the various
problems that they are faced with in the
publishing of a college publication. We
have no doubt but that many harassed edi­tors
will receive inspiration from this
meeting. It seems to us that here is a
thing which the State of Alabama can
well follow suite in. There are any num­ber
of benefits to be derived from such
an action. Methods of finance can be
discussed. An organized canvass of ad­vertisers
could be planned at such a meet­ing.
A thousand and one details as to ex­changes
and intercommunication could be
arranged. Why is there no such associa­tion
in this state. Is it for lack of thought
about such an idea or has no one taken the
pains to push the project. Since any one
of these reasons may be the one that will
account for the lack of an Alabama Col­legiate
Press Association, the Plainsman
begs to bring it to your attention and asks
the colleges who exchange with us if they
do not think that this is a good idea and
if they would not be willing to cooperate.

When I suggested that she might be more

this was the girl whose sole attire in the

However we do think that the doings of
certain freshmen take the cake for nerve.
Said freshman were in that usual state
of being broke. The time was about
twelve at night. They were hungry and
cold and they had no bed in which to rest
their weary bones. We assume that they
did some tall thinking and quite a bit of
pondering. One freshman however, being
much brighter than his fellows, he must
have been bright to think of such a thing,
said that he would provide a bed and forth­with
led them to the jail. The sargeant
refused to let them have a bed there but
they finally pursuaded him and wrote their
names on the blotter. He put them in a
cell with a couple of new mattresses and
they spent the night in peaceful repose.
At six the next morning they were releas­ed,
apparantly none the worse for having
spent the night in the cooler. We wonder
if all the people that we know would have
peace of mind enough to lay down and
enjoy a good sound sleep under such cir­cumstances
and not be worrying all the
time that they would not be let out in the
morning. Maybe, only maybe.

We got into quite a bull session the oth­er
day on the value of religion at college.
It came as a complete surprise that sev­eral
of the people that we were talking
with were of the idea that religion was
not a 'smart" thing to practice at college
as everything was supposed to be acede-mic
and cold and calculating. In other
words when you were at college you were
supposed to be on your own and weigh
the value of everything for yourself be­fore
you practiced it. You were not sup­posed
to accept support from some higher
being.
Now look at that same idea in another
light. If you cannot accept help from
some higher source how can you sit down
with a clear conscience when a professor
has been giving you help on all your sub­jects.
Then again some boys believe that
it is a sign of weakness to admit that they
go to church. If you can find one truly
great man in all the History of this world
who did not believe in some God and ad­mit
the fact. We would like to know his
name. No one but a fool will kid him­self
to the extent that he thinks that when
he comes to a place of learning he should
.not admit that there is not a higher source
than his own intelligence. If you do not
believe some of these statements just start
a bull session among your friends as to
the value of the religious study and un­derstanding
at college.

who began this craze be made to try his

Our idea of the height of conceit is that
possessed by a certain Auburnite. He
writes to his girl and tells her not to get
mad if he does not get to see her when

however, for he promised faithfully that
he would see her Christmas. I think the

What is the use of gripping. That is a
question that comes up at most stages of
the game of continual griping. Everything

that you gripe and most everyone loses
some of his peace of mind. Further, if you
spend all your time griping what time
will you have for figuring out how you
are to get out of the particular, fix that
you are griping about. There are many
more good reasons for not griping but we
all do it. Why? Is man such a stubborn
fool that he must go contrary to all the
laws of his mind. No, it is not that for we
often do follow the dictates of our mind.
It must be that we have to have an out­let
for our feelings and that we turn to
griping when we are annoyed. If that is
so it does not go so well for the college
student that he is known to be one of the
most consistent gripers of the world. It
seems then that we have got to mend our
ways in order to become better college
students. Next time that you begin to
gripe about some thing just stop and use
that time to figure out some way in which
you may remedy the fault. You will pro­bably
find that if you follow that princi­ple
you will not have enough to occupy
your mind and go back to griping as a
pastime. Such is life.

obtained about the life history of the
honey bee.
It is amusing to stand within a
short distance of the bees and watch
their movements. Each bee seems
to be preforming some specific duty
which is essential in keeping their
house clean, and in supplying the
family with food. They can also
be seen in the act of manufacturing
and depositing the hoi^ey, which is
to be used during times when the
weather is too bad for the bee to
search for food.
The bee dance is a common term
used to distinguish one activity of
the honey bee. When an individual
goes out and finds something which
would be useful to the family it re­turns
to the hive and tells other mem­bers
of the family about it by the use
of the bee dance! Instead of speak­ing
with a tongue it dances until it
gets other members of the family to
respond to the needs. The dance
may be observed in the hives which
Prof. Robinson made during the past
summer.
The two hives which are in the
museum are not over four feet apart
but still" the bees never go into the
wrong hive. The range of the honey
bee has been found to be about two
| miles. When it is far away from the
hive it knows the direction to the
place from whince it came.
There is one bee in each hive which
all the others respect. This bee is
known as the queen. When she trav­els
from one place to another there
are group of workers which go along
to see that she is all right at all
times. It can be seen in Prof. Ro­binson's
hives that all the working
bees are careful in keeping out of the
queen's way when she is traveling.
The queen lays the eggs in the cells
of honey comb. When the young bees
are able to care for themselves, the
old bees leave the old* hive and look
for a new home.
Prof. Robinson is feeding one hive
on a solution of one-half water and
one-half sugar. He is letting the
other hive gather its own food. The
hive he is feeding is doing much bet­ter
than the one he is not feeding.
"Today America is the greatest of
nations but for it to continue we
must further our scheme for a great
national defense keeping always pre­pared,"
Captain Kenneth G. Althaus,
assistant professor of military science
and tactics of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute declared at the convo­cation
N for freshmen last Tuesday.
Preceeding Captain Althaus' ad­dress
Major John E. Hatch com­mandant
of the R. O. T. C. unit
outlined the program for Armistice
day. Dr. Spright Dowell presided dur­ing
the exercises and urged that all
students support the Armistice day
celebration in every respect. Mention
was made of the three outstanding
Alabamians in the world war, Gen­eral
Bullard, Noble and Sibert, and
the student body having already
heard General Bullard speak will
have an opportunity to hear the oth­er
two great men speak at the Arm­istice
Day exercises.
Continuing Captain Althaus tpld of
'he great work the R. O. T. C. was
doing to keep this country prepared
in case of a national emergency.
"Students accept the uniform and put
your best efforts in the R. O. T. C. j
work at Auburn. It is your duty to
this country as it is a mark of true
patriotism. The greatest way to
avoid war is for a nation to be pre­pared."
Captain Althaus told of how
the soldiers under his command re­ceived
the word of the signing of
the Armistice. Not with marks of en­thusiasm
and -joy as was expected, but
with no marks of joy manifested as
they were too tired and worn out
to show their feelings.

CLOVERDALE 21ST
The Auburn High .School, with a
clean slate so far this season will
tackle the mighty Cloverdale High
next Saturday on Ross Field in a
game that promises to be full of
thrill sthroughout. With the odds
slightly favoring Cloverdale, Auburn
ititends to continue its fight that has
figured so prominently in all of their
games this year. Coach E. R. Moul-ton
of Auburn High, has put his
charges through a hard week of
scrimmages and is making every plan
to upset all dope by sending the
Cloverdale team back to the capital
city a beaten team. Auburn High has
distinguished themselves by winning
every game this year by decisive
scores and the players certainly don't
intend getting beat on the last go
round. With a victory over Clover­dale
they can make claims for state
honors. Cloverdale cannot boast of
having a clean slate having lost
games this year by close margins.

Cherokee Bluff., Nov. 10—(Speci-aj-
to the Plainsman)—In the presen­ce
of several thousand people and
with a distinguished assemblage of
invited guests from other sections
of the state present, the dedicatory
exercises of the great Cherokee
Bluff dam on the Tallapoosa river
were held here Saturday.
A special train was run to the
scene of the exercises, starting from
! Birmingham.
The actual laying of the corner-
! stone was done by John Curtis love-ilace,
nephew of the late -Mrs. Nora

I used a silver trowel presented to
JMrs. Miller in 1912 by James Mitch-

Power company and now de­ceased.
Mr. Mitchell presented Mrs.
Miller the trowelat that time and re­quested
that when Cherokee Bluff
dam had finally become an acom-plished
fact that she use the trowel
and lay the cornerstone. Mrs. Miller
died before the time came for the
cornerstone, laying and the honor of
the trowel, Mr. Mitchell, also died.
JMrs, Miller requested that her nep­hew,
Mr. Lovelace use the trowel and

was finally at the stage where
it could be dedicated.

COLLEGE STUDENTS
DISCUSS RELIGION
The blase indifference and hostility
of the average^ college student to­wards
the Church will have an unob­structed,
opportunity to express itself
during the coming Christmas holidays
at The Interdenominational Student
Conference to be held at that time
at Evanston, Illinois. At this meet­ing
students of a great many religious
denominations, and also many with­out
denominational connection, com­ing
from all parts of the United
States, will make an unbiased evalu­ation
of the Church and its adequa-teness
as machinery towards the ach­ievement
of a better social order.
College students, both those friend­ly
and those indifferent to the church
have long been aware of the ineffi-cacy
and comparative insignificance
of the church in the face of the great
problems of the day. Many of the
friendly group have despaired of
working effectively, through the
church and are wondering whether
other means might not be more like­ly
tb produce results. During the
summer months of this year several
groups of students have made inves-
Tigatibris of what the Church is ac­tually
doing in various fields. At
the Conference the results of these

investigations, combined with illumi­nating
addresses by two classes of
speakers—those friendly and those
hostile to the Church—will unite to
form the evidence on which united
youth will gauge its future policies.
The Conference, which is expect­ed
to total over 1200 students, will
meet in the First Methodist Epis­copal
Church of Evanston. This is
located within three blocks of the
Northwestern University Campus and
is excellently fitted for Conference
purposes. In spite of the fact that
it will be held in a Church, the Con­ference
is free from any obligations
to the church as a whole, and will be
absolutely unhampered in any of its
expressions.
That this Conference, the first of
its kind, will be unusually well-attain­ed
is indicated by the enthusiastic
response to the information litera­ture
sent out by the Executive Com­mittee.
Already in scores of Uni­versities
throughout the country
small discussion groups have been
formed to deal with the problems
which the Conference will take up.
The Conference Headquarters, at 10
East Huron Street, Chicago, reports
that at the request of students in
every section of the United States
thousands of information pamphlets
have been dispatched and that al­ready
registrations are coming in.
REGULAR MEETING

One of the most lively happenings
on the Campus this week was the
meeting of the American Society of
Military Engineers. Out of the two
hundred and fifty eligible members
in the Engineer Corps at Auburn,
there were something like fifty of
them who got to hear the program.
Captain Althous explained in par­ticular

in the attack on the Zeebrugge Har­bour,
on April 22-23, 1918, and told

The Lions club had a special pro-grain,
at their usual luncheon -on
Tuesday in honor of Gen. R. E. No­ble
who is honor-guest at Auburn.
Miss Lucile Frazer of Opelika, Ala.
sang two songs accompanied by Mrs.
Wright of Opelika. These were
much applauded and won great hon­or
to Miss Frazer and her accom-panyist.
Next there was a talk from Gen.
Noble and afterwards one from Dr.
B. B. Ross. The real feature of the
occasion was a talk from Dr. George
Petrie, Dean of Graduate Studies at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
on the Armistice. The talk was giv­en
in Dr. Petrie's usual entertaining
style and was backed by his remark­able
fund of information on histori­cal
subjects.
Dr. Spright Dowell entertained in
honor of Gen. R. E. Noble by a stag
dinner last Tuesday evening.
There were a few of Gen. Noble's
old friends present, some of the old-timers,
who had been with the col­lege
at the time of Gen. Noble's ad­vent
there.

FRATERNITY LIFE IN AUBURN
Auburn was one of the first col­leges
in the South to have fraterni­ties.
Auburn and the state at large
is indeed fortunate to have such an
representation of fraternities at the
state institution. Those fraternities
which have chapters at Auburn are:
Nationals in the Pan-Hellenic:
Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tau Om-ega,
«Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Al­pha,
Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa Alpha,
Kappa Sigma, Alpha Gamma Rho,
Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsi-lom,
Theta Chi, Delta Sigma.
Nationals not in the Pan-Hellenic:
Phi Delta Chi, Alpha Lambda Tau,
Sigma Phi Sigma, and Alpha Psi.
Locals:
Phi Kappa Delta, Tau Kappa Phi,
Kappa Phi, Pi Omega Phi, Sigma
Theta, Sigma Kappa Nu, and Tau
Omega Chi.
There are approximately 340 boys
represented by the Pan-Hellenic
Council, which is about 26 per cent
of the student body. The Nationals
not included in the Pan-Hellenic
have a membership of about 75 which
is about 6 per cent of the student
body. The Local fraternities have a
membership of approximately 148
which is 11 per cent of the student
body.
All in all the fraternities com­prise
a membership of approximately
40 or 45 per cent of the student
body.
Scholarship is one of the main
contesting points between the frater­nities.
Each year the fraternity
with the highest average is presented
a loving cup which if won three suc­cessive
years becomes the property
of the- fraternity. At present the
Sigma Nu fraternity holds the cup
and got it only in time to keep it
from becoming a Kappa Alpha orna­ment
as they won it the two previous
years.
The decision of the winner of the
cup at the last account was very
close between about five or six fra­ternities.
The difference in average
was merely a fraction of a point..
The winning average was seventy-six
and five eights.
• Some of the fraternities own their
own houses while others rent theirs.
Those who own them are: Phi Delta
Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilom, Theta
Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha,
Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha.
To enable ready money i o be pro­vided
for t?ie fraternities, there is a
scheme whereby the college furnish­es
five-sixths of the amount to be
paid back at the end of twenty years.
The fraternity also furnishes one-sixth
and have a lease on the place
for Ninety-nine years'.

The site of fraternity row is pret­ty
and judging by the start of the
Theta Chi's, the row should com­pare
with that of any other campus
when complted. Although there is
not as much social activity at Auburn
as there is in most other schools,
something is done by almost all of
the fraternities in a social way each
year. These social stunts are usually
confined to either a dance at the
fraternity hou"se or a feed or smoker.
There are only three or four frar
ternity dances given each year which
is due mainly to two things. One
is the lack of adequate space and the
other is the lack of a sufficient
quantity and quality of girls. The
lack of girls is due to the fact that
some rules of the college prohibit
out-of-town girls being brought to
the dances and the boys do not relish
the idea of dancing with and seeing
the same girls each day.
There are three types of dances
which are given by the fraternities.
One is the informal night dance
which has been given more frequent­ly.
The others are the afternoon tea
dance and the formal evening dance
which are both practically new ideas
on our campus. Usually at the in­formal
dances it is the custom to
give each other fraternity a Chapter
initiation and for the members to
ask any one they wish outside of a
fraternity.
The feeds which are the main form
of society among the fraternities are
given in abundance each year. Begin­ning
about the second week in April,
the feeds last through the end of
school. Each week end ushers in
two or more feeds. Feeds in name,
they are feeds in fact as they are a
representation of all good things to
.eat. Some of them are served in and
some out of doors and the tables are
always laden with an abundance of
sandwiches, cakes, candies, chickens,
smokes, and- other delicacies. The
feeds are' always set for a certain
time and the boys come in, eat, stay
a few minutes and depart.
At Auburn there is one fact easily
noticeable and that is the pleasant
relations between fraternity and non-fraternity
men. The democratic
spirit of the'school is one of the rea­sons
for this and it is one of the
things which upholds the traditions
of Auburn. At some schools there
is a fight constantly going on between
these two factions in the elections of
officers and in all branches of col­lege
activities.
Open rushing is in vogue at Au­burn
iwhich means that for the first
few days freshmen are seized, drag­ged
hither and yon, from one fra­ternity
to another, and beaten and
begged into pledging. This, js a
crude method and in the next year or
two will likely be replaced by the
more orderly method known as Clos­ed
Rushing. This gives a freshman
time to deliberate carefully and
choose the fraernity which he really
wishes to join. It sets as the time
two weeks before any freshman may
be pledged and is advantageous in
more than one respect.
Afer freshmen are pledged they
are usually instructed in he ways of
the fraternity and its ideals by some
of the older members. The' fresh­men
cannot be taken in as members
until after they have passed enough
work to get by the ruling of he Pan-
Hellenic Council.
After this some of the- fraternities
take in their freshmen after the first
mid-semester reports "while some of
the other fraternities by their own
rules must wait until the end of the
semester. ' This is probably the best
way and is likely to be the future
ruling of the Pan-Hellenic.
The freshmen initiations all dif­fer
in some respects, yet there is a
great likeness as a whole. Usually
the fraternities have one night in
which all the horse-play goes on and
then two or three nights wherein all
the serious and ritualistic parts are
carried out. s
There are many funny and humor­ous
things done to and by the fresh­men
in these initiations. In one fra­ternity
initiation the freshmen were
directed very solemly to appear at
such and such an hour with a lighted
candle in one hand an an open book
in the other repeating "Praise be to
Allah, my doom is come." They were
scattered all over the town and it
looked as if Giddeon and all his host
were surrounding the city.
On one occasion a freshman was
blindfolded and directed to take hold
of what was handed to him and not
to turn it loose until requested. It
happened that what was handed him
was the hindefmost part of a bovi-nic
creature's anatomy which is com­monly
known as bull's tale.
The bull was then urged forward
with sticks etc. until he was pro­ceeding
at a rather rapid rate. The
boy ran as fast as he could but on
the wet ground and blindfolded, he
could no longer retain his equilibri­um
and was thrown and dragged
quite a distance before the word
came to let go. The boy claims that
the was just getting ready to trip the
bull with one arm while holding on
with the other. Fortunately for the
poor creature and incidentally him-
-elf he did not do this.
In the initiations sometimes it is
rather humorous to watch the fresh­men
scramble like an egg, swim like
a fish, cry like a baby, and other
various and amusing things.
Fraternities must always be build­ing
up with new men and each year
the picking of the freshmen to car­ry
on the work in future years is an
important item that enters intq_ac-count.
This is a momentous task
and of course many times the shoe
will not fit the foot.
There are different standards of
picking freshmen to the fraternity.
Some fraternities go back deeply in­to
the annals of family history while
others pick more or less by the per­sonality
of the boy concerned. The
best method is to have as much of a
combination of the two methods as
possible. Of course there is such lit­tle
time in which "to look over a new
man and to find out his traits of
character, that very often bad mis­takes
are made. Some fraternity
may think that they'are getting the
peach of the pick in some man and
he may turn out to be the lemon.
Due to the uncertainty and brevity
of time therefore there are always
some black sheep in the flock. But
since this is true in every organiza­tion,
it cannot be helped by the pre­sent
methods of proceedure.
Some fraternities have much high­er
standards of choice than others
and as a general run the boys, whe­ther
worth more or not, are more
to train any black sheep that might
drift in to be likewise.
Organization always counts a
great deal and some of the fraterni­ties
are so well organized that the
alumni look out^for new material
as well as the men in the active
chapter. Since this is such a large
factor in getting good men, more
of the fraternities are urging their
alumni to organize and point out the
new material.
This organization is carries on by
means of alumni clubs in the differ­ent
cities. More of these clubs are
being founded continually and the
work they are doing and the interest
they take in the fraternity not only
helps the fraternity but themselves
also. As it is preferable for some
one who has known a boy and lived
in the same town with him all the
time to recommend him, the alumni
clubs help in this.
Some fraternities send out blanks

to their alumni during the summer
season on which any boys to be rec­ommended
are listed. This serves as
an easy method for the alumni and
causes them to be sure not to forget
to recommend any desirable boys.
This plan is criticised by many as
it seems as if they are soliciting men
but it is used widely and becoming
even more popular.
Due to this means of picking men,
there are many good boys, just as
good as the best fraternity men, who
do not get in fraternities. Seyeral
cases have been known that because
there were no fraternity men from
their home town to recommend them,
boys did not belong to fraternities.
It is very seldom that the acquain­tances
a non-fraternity man makes
in college lead to his being taken in.
Some boys are backward and not
very sociable nor do they push them­selves
forward and therefore al­though
they are good men, they do
not stand a chance of joining a fra­ternity.
It is possible that someday
a plan will be devised whereby this
flaw will be leiminated.
There must be cooperation between
the college and the fraternities. The
fraternities are responsible to 'the
college and are under the jurisdic­tion
of the laws and government of
the Student Council. The charter can
can be taken from a fraternity but
they are put on probation first and
then are subject to more stringent
rules.
The fraternities and college usual­ly
get along pretty well together. At
,the dances each year the fraterni-jties
offer their houses for the girls
ito stay in and the college allows
I them to stay, there and this does much
to bring about pleasant relations be­tween
the two. The rules of the col­lege
governing these dances are gen­erally
obeyed by the fraternities and
this creates good feeling on both
sides.
Sooner or later every woman reach­es
the stage in life where she re­grets
not having smiled back at the
handsome man who tried to flirt
with her that day. on the train.

GEORGIA BULLDOGS PILE UP
BIG SCORE AGAINST TIGERS
Fast Backs Do Greatest Damage By Wide
End Runs; Auburn In Striking
Distance of Goal Once
The Georgia Bulldog, probably
thirsting for revenge after its de­feat
in the hands of the Tennesseans
the week previous, ran rough shod
over the fighting charges of Coach
Morey, and just as the first signs of
dusk were beginning to steal across
the new Municipal Memorial Stadi­um
at Columbus, the final whistle
sounded, leaving the Tigers on the
short end of a 34-0 score, the worst
defeat that they have ever suffered
at the hand of their ancient foe from
Athens.
The Georgians exhibited an unex­pected
tendency to annex touch­downs
and. before the smoke of bat­tle
had cleared, took it upon them­selves
to enjoy the scenery in rear
of the Tiger goal posts five times.
The Tigers exhibiting that fighting
spirit so characteristic of all Bengal
aggregations lived up to the tradi­tion
of their predecessors by scrap--
ping to the last ditch and getting
the better of the Athenians during
the third quarter when they had the
oval within striking distance of the
Bulldog goal line.
The key to the situation is that the
Bulldogs with their attack of assort­ed
sprints around the flanks, inter­spersed
with several timely ozonic
flips, were to much for the Tigers,
the Auburn goal line seeming to be
always in danger.
The defeat is recorded as the worst
ever suffered by either team since
the last year of the old century when
the Tigers rolled up a 44-0 score.
This is the first time that either
team has won out by a margin great­er
than a lone touchdown since the
'15 season. Also it is the first time

split buck, Kain going 46 yards to
penetrate the Tiger goal line. The
Bulldogs gave an excellent display of
interference and Tiger after Tiger
was cut down in the path of the ball
toting Georgian.
During the third quarter the Ti­gers
easily had the best of the ar­gument
gaining 65 yards and making
four first downs, carrying the ball
17 times. The Bulldogs got 28 yards
with two first downs in a dozen
trials. The Tigers gained but 12
yards during the entire first half,
and carried the ball but 13 times,
while Georgia, went 263 yards in 53
attempts.. Which all goes to show
that the Moreymen were about a
thousand percent stronger during
the third session.
During the -final period the redleg-ged
Athenian crew once more oiled
up its scampering machinery and
started moving in the direction of
the Tiger territory after checking
a temporary Bengal stab at its own
trenches. The break came when
Vangieson, Bulldog end, in regular
kleptomaniac fashion reached out and
intercepted a pass by Williams,
tucked it under his arm and attempt­ing
to make off with it was brought
to sod by Ollinger on the Tiger 18
yard line. Harkins slung Morton for
a 4 yard loss, on the next play.
"Scrappy" Moore, Georgia field
marshall, then flipped a 12 yard toss
to Morton, who dashed the remain­ing
distance of ten yards in a clear
field. Morton added the extra point
raising the total of points to 28.
The next Bulldog tally came as a
bolt out of a clear sky. After the
kick off, "Scrappy" Moore went 71

Georgians gained ground both on

to reach a point within the Tiger

the Moreymen put on a demonstra­tion
of some of their defensive tac­tics

Auburn has ever suffered three sue- I yards from punt formation, reversing
his field and shaking off all the
Tigers who attempted to prevent his
progress. Tuxworth the only Tiger
left in his pathway was taken out
by Butler, Bulldog-center.
The figures show that Georgia
chalked up a total of two dozen first
downs, and stacked up 471 yards,
carrying the ball less'than 91 times.
Most of the yardage came as a re­sult
of the long end runs at which
the Bulldogs demonstrated such pro­ficiency.
Thirty eight rushes at the
line netted them 120 yards while 27
end runs piled up 202 yards; Eleven
out of about two dozen passes added
149 more stripes.
The Tigers tried but one end run
which was for 2 yards. Twenty-one
line plays netted them 72 yards, and

CASUAL COMMENT i
Wednesday afternoon seven can­didates
for.the harrier crew donned
the track lingerie and proceeded to
lope around the course. After a
lapse of 17 minutes and 9 seconds,
desirous of doing so, may witness both "Shorty" Morrow, diminutive nego-engagements.
Aside from the Southern game the
Rats have but one remaining game
on their schedule, the annual battle
with the Baby Tornado, which takes
place in Atlanta the Saturday previ­ous
to Turkey Day when our big
squad battles at Grant Field. To date
the Kittens of Coach Brown have
defeated Howard and lost hard
fought games with the Pensacola
Naval Air Station, and Georgia.
Though defeated by the fast Geor­gia
outfit of Captain Bachman, the
Tiger rats looked good against the
Georgians. The battle with the
tiator, put in his appearance without
appearing winded to any great ex­tent.
At his heels came another of
the family in the person of Cliff
Morrow. Following these two in order
named were: Dawsey, Duncan, Van-der
Sys, Longshore, and Moore.
When the varsity had covered the
distance the rodent aspirants num­bering
eleven men trotted around the
shorter course. Another endurance
man, and brother of "Shorty" and
Cliff Morrow, demonstrated that he

was the largest ever piled up by a
Georgia team against one from the
Plains. But we can feel relieved and
perhaps even get some kick out of
the fact that we were not the only
ones to have points stacked up sky
high against us. The University of
Maryland went down before the Yale

due to keep up the pace and enjoy

One of the features of the day was
the snappy appearance of the Au­burn
Band which has always played
a conspicuous part in all Tiger games
for years. The Tiger billion dollar
band was feeling its oats Saturday,
and when Frank Rusey led the wind
jammening aggregation across the
sod during the period between halves
we could not feel but that the best
band in the southland was on the
field representing the Fairest Vil­lage
of the Plains.
Strange to say an important fea­ture
of the day was lacking when it
failed to rain. Jupiter Pluvius evi­dently
had unloaded his supply the
week previous.
Florida will play her second con­ference
game of the season when
she tackles the powerful Crimson of
Alabama at Cramton Bowl. The
Tidemen at present are located at
the top of the heap in the standing.
In winning their five conference bat­tles
they have piled up a total of 113
points setting the pace in this respect.
The nearest competitor in this line
is Tulane with 64 marks; North Caro­lina
follows closely with 63.
The greatest ground coverer in the
United States has contributed his
share of the Tulane total of points.
This person is none other than the
"Peggy" Flourney who increased his
total by making 31 points against
Louisiana Poly last week. In doing
this he made four touchdowns, kick­ed
four goals after touchdown, and
booted one field goal. To date,
"Peggy" has been directly responsi­ble
for in the neighborhood of 15
touchdowns.
One of the outstanding games of
the conference for this week if not
for the entire season is the old grudge
scrap between the two sister institu­tions
of our neighboring state. The
Georgia Bulldogs are booked to meet
their ancient enemy, Tech, and it will
prove a battle de luxe with thousand
of loyalists on hand from every sec­tion
of the state and south be present
at the jamboree.
Both have good teams, the Georgia
aggregation rising to its full height
last week when it road over our own
Tigers. Tech has an excellent group
of line plungers and a strong for­ward
wall that is expected to bring
to earth in short order any enterpris­ing
Bulldog backfield man who at­tempts
to swish around the golden
ends.
Vanderbilt, our august foe for_this
week, had the honor of trimming
Texas University 14 to 6 while this
same university rolled up 33 points
in the Tiger melee. If we can hand

There was always a prejudice
against an Agricultural college in the
state and this was the legislature
changing the name of the institution
in 1899. The college name was then
changed to Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute.

first president of the A. and M. col­lege.
Under his able and wise admin­istration
the college made great ad­vancements
under the line of work
' congress had established it for. There
was much crititism of this line of
educational thought throughout the
state.
In 7887 the main building burned
with alj its contents. While this seem­ed
to be a disaster for the college it
was really a blessing in disguise.
"•With the insurance and a liberal ap­propriation
of $50,000 from the leg­islature,
the present main building

in 1888.
In 1887 the Hatch Act provided

Birmingham has been aptly term­ed
the Magic City, probably because
the old-time magicians used to sur­round
their operations with a cloud
of smoke. Firty years age Birming­ham
was a town without a good rail­road
station, and now—just within
the short span of forty years—it is
still without a good railroad station.
However they have a bank and a
newspaper and a street car now, and
they are thinking about building a
city hall. There are also two colleges
in Birmingham and our own State
University is within dance-making
distance from the Big Town.
Auburn generally plays two foot­ball
games per year in Birmingham,
and just to be thoroughly versatile,
plays her games in two different
parks. To start off things right they
go to Munger Bowl to whip Birming­ham-
Southern every year, and then
later they go to Rickwood Park to
whip whoever wants to be whipped.
Last year L. S. U. needed a beating
and got it, while this year the Com­modores
are craving trouble and have
come all the way to Birmingham to
get it. The Tigers went all the way
to Nashville last year to get some
trouble from Vanderbilt and got
enough to last for several games.
If the Frosh desires to amuse him­self
he can go to the' movie, the vau­deville,
or one of the numerous leg—
or rather limb shows that happen to
be showing in town this week. If he
wants the other kind of natural scen­ery
he can take a car ride, (provided
that his fortitude is sufficient to en­able
him to wait for the car to come.)
If he wants to visit one of the town's
most delightful suburbs, which is
known the country over for beauty
and culture, he can visit Pratt City.
If he wants to' see some real -pretty
girls he can stand for one hour on any
street corner—in any city except
Birmingham. If he craves a good
old-fashioned fight he can find any
number of steel mills and employees
thereof scattered all around the town.

FORMER STUDENT WEDS
A wedding of great interest to
Auburn students was solemnized on
•Wednesday, November 4 when • Miss
Nell Andrews of Columbus, Georgia
became the bride of Mr. W. D.
Knight also of that city. The cere­mony
was performed at the home of
the bride's parents on Chatham Drive
in Wynton.
Miss Andrews is a graduate of
Rollins College and at the time of her
marriage was a student of the Soph-ie-
Newcomb School for girls in New
Orleans. She is one of the most
popular members of her social set
and is well liked by all who have had
the pleasure of meeting her here at
the various entertainments of which
she has attended quite a few. She
was a member of the Phi Mu Soror­ity
at Hollins. The bride- was at­tended
by Misses Mary Patterson and
Thereasa Knight of Columbus.
Doug Knight needs no introduc­tion
to the student body. As the hero
of the famous 2-0 pitching duel in
the spring of 1924 when the Tigers
•vanquished the Georgia Bulldogs us­ing
their ace Fred Sale thereby en­tering
the Athletic Hall of Fame. He
made his letter in baseball and for
two seasons was one of the main­stays
of the Tiger hurling staff. He
was also prominent in the social ac­tivities
of the college, having been
a member of: Thendara, Yellow
Dogs, Stags and Bovines. He is a
member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fra­ternity.
Feny Crane acted as Best Man
while C. W.. Allgood was on hand to
revive the spirits of the groom as
well as to dispense with them.
numbers. The /whole company was
led in singing "America the Beauti­ful"
after which Mrs. K. D. Lipscomb
read the ritual.
The house was beautifully decora­ted
in red, white, and blue to re­present
the celebration of Armistice
day. There, were red carnations and
huge bowls of white chrysanthemums
twined about with red, white, and
blue tulle.
The color scheme was carried out
in the refreshments there being col­ored
candies and other dainties.
Salted pecans were served along with
the salad course of chicken. There
were rolls, tea, and coffee accom­panying
the other refreshments.
Mrs. Z. V. Judd and Mrs. Fred Al­lison
met the guests at the door and
they were led into the reception hall
by Mrs. Charles Hixon and Mrs. C.
A. Basore. Mrs. J. R. Rutland and
Mrs. B. H. Crensiiaw served tea and
coffee and were assisted in serving
by Mrs. L. A. Ward, Mrs. Wright,
Mrs. R. E. Brown.
Miss Minnie Whitaker entertained
at the home of Mrs. Wilmore in hon­or
of Mrs. George Ward by ten tables
of bridge.
The house was decorated in red
and yellow flowers and beautiful au­tumn
leaves. The color scheme was
expressed even in the prizes which
were done in red and yellow colors.
The candies were of red and yellow
hue and every thing was suggestive
of the autumn spirit of red and yel­low
colors.
The high prize, red and yellow
pencil counters, was won by Mrs. W.
W. Hill. The consolation prize was
given Mrs, T. B. McDonald and was
a set of revolving counters. Mrs.
Ward was presented with a ldvely
orange and black bowl for narcissis.
The refreshments served were
chicken salad, with potato chips,
crackers, pickles, coffee and candies.
The women Student's athletic as­sociation
met Tuesday afternoon at
the Y. W. C. A. hut for a business
discussion.

that the next attack against our
country will not be directed against
our physical bodies perhaps, but
against our free institutions. Col­onel
Rowell was the chief speaker at
Armistice day exercises held in Lang-don
hall, the college chapel.
"Although we fought the World
War successfully," Colonel Rowell
said, "it appears that a reformation
of national organizations in taking
place in Europe that may become in
the next decade a United States of
Europe so impregnable, so powerful
commercially, that it may impose its
will upon other nations without re­straint.
The next attack against us
may not be directed against our bogi­es
but against our institutions. In
fact this attack is being made today
in the United States by a group which
bores from within and which would
level all of our institutions."
"Let us not forget that as long as
the institutions of Liberty stand they
will be subject to attack by those
bred in an atmosphere of despotism,
and we must resolve to preserve them
at all cost."
Colonel Rowell urged that the laws
of the land be upheld whether or not
they be in accordance with our indi­vidual
ideas. In closing he paid tri­bute
to Auburn saying that in all of
his official travels in the South that
no place gives him a greater" feeling
of confidence in the future of this
country than Auburn.
The day was a momentous one at
Auburn, two officers, high in military
rank, being special guests, namely
General Robert E. Noble, U. S. A.
retired, and alumnis of Auburn, and
the speaker, Colonel Rowell, com­mandant
at Auburn during the
world war. A military review by the
Auburn R. O. T. C, in honor of the
distinguished guests preceeded the
Langdon hall exercises. Wednesday
evening General Noble and Colonel
Rowell were the dinner guests of
the local post of the American Le­gion.
President Spright Dowell presided
at Langdon hall, introducing General
Noble as one of the three men who
made the greatest contribution to the
World war from Alabama, the others
j
i being General Bullard and General
Sibert. Dean Rupert Taylor, post
I commander of the American Legion
read the Governor's proclamation.
| The Rev. E. W. Holmes, pastor of
! World war Chaplain, pronounced the
i -he Auburn Baptist church and
invocation and Major John E. Hatch,
commandent Auburn R. O. T. C. in­troduced
Colonel Rowell. An audi­ence
of towns people, students and
faculty members opened the exercises
by singing America then the Students
rendered their Alma Mater song.

"It is safe to say that failure to guide and direct study is
the weak point in the whole educational machine. Prof. G. M.
Whipple, U. of Michigan.
"The successful men in college do not seem to be very happy.
Most of them, especially the athletes are overworked." Prof.
H. S. Canby, Yale. ' ,'.'•«•.
"Misdirected labor, though honest and well mtentioned may
lead to naught. Among: the most important things for the
student to learn- is how to study. Without knowledge of this his
labor may be largely in vain." Prof. G. F. Swain, M. I. T.
"To students who have never learnt "How to Study," work
is very often a chastisement, a flagellation, and an insuperable
obstacle to contentment" - Prof A. Inglis, Harvard.
