However, in the ycai h.hx we entered upon a task in which going to college ceased to he a dream and became a reality. With I rtdr Scott we wandered up the long leafless aventtes o| ancient Greece, With Dick tve stood on the hank of the yellow Tiber and communed with the sages of Home. For us, l ittle Boy Steed, by Ins eloquent explanations, made tlte dim ages uf remote history vivid ami alluring; while Billie with his telescope laid open the structure of the heavens, and Hob with his compass enlarged the boundaries of earth. From 1‘ricle Jeff we learned that one drop uf water is as wonderful ns all rhe seas, and from Carver rhat one leaf j as marvelous as the whole forest. fly Forrester we have been led up the rugged slopes r i the lowering h rights uf Pi stall and there viewed the promised land. With Hairhon we wailed through Materialism, Mysticism, and Idealism, and now stand forlorn in the dr'ulate hogs of Skepticism where, 'Nothing is hut all things •rrra.'

And clouds that gloom the distant scene and shade too soon the dale, Fast lifting shadows from the land and dissipating fail. We dreamed of restless seas that break and hound upon the shoal Adopting silence strange and deep and pleasing to the soul.

Two years ago thoughts of diploma were far from us. hur ivc now realize that next year (if all goes well) we can tuck our sheep- skins under our arms ami merrily save gouti-bye to all that we hold dear in this honored institution, In these three years we have had all that’s coming to us (the reason some of our Freshmen classmates are not with us now.) We have as Freshmen rushed the Sophomores and then as Sophs, rushed the Freshies. Wc have night-shirt paraded, a d have listened to exhortations, exhilarations and incriminations. Sometimes wc have attended classes and sometimes we haven’t. Some of us have pursued knowledge and some have absorbed it. Some of us have a strangle hold on it while some have only “made a pass at it. He that as it may. however, we arc still here and we hope to he here until we arc handed our rewards of merit. Our relations with members of the faculty may have been, at times, a little strained hut surely this was because they mis-cunstnied our motives. Why some of us have even gone so far as to go to sleep in class so as to avoid appearing restless. We sincerely hope that thi- paragraph will clear up any little misunderstandings that have existed between us hcre-tn-fore. You know, a man can’t do his best work unless he has some inspiration. After careful consideration many of us have arrived at the conclusion that this inspiration is tu be found in association with members of the fairer and weaker sex. Our hum noted social achievement has been what is known among ms as a Washington Tea, so- called because we thought the various numbers of the class must resembled that dis- tinguished statesman and also because wc held it on the 22nd of February, HV have passed in these three years front suspenders to belts and front low truusers and low collars to high trousers and high collars, in short from Freshmen and Pophwinorcs to Juniors. It appears we are going to turn out pretty well after all. despite early contrary predictions. In fact, if Woodrow Wilson just stays in the president's chair long enough, it looks like he will find several dangerous rivals from this, tile class of 1914. 50 57 5 SOPHOMORE CLASS ■ r THE 1913 CAULDRON • Sophomore Class Coums: V inlet ami Cream OFFICERS H.

These all differ among themselves in language, athlcries and hatting. The bravest of all are the Sophs, because they are fnrtlierist away from the culture and civilization of their homt s, They (the Sophs) easily surpass all in valor, since they contend in almost daily battles with the Freshmen, when either they prohibit the latter front their room or entry on war with them in the Freshman rooms. The bravest fight ever made was for Sophomore supremacy when the class meeting was held. The signal for attack having been given, man by man rushed into the building where the Freshmen were residing. The battle for a time was fierce; but the enemy, at last put to flight, were seen retracing their steps toward the “dorm. each one having lei out the Hag of retreat. Now first of all, the little rush having been forgotten, it is sufficiently certain that the Soph-Fresh football battle was more fierce than the Trojan War. The barbarous players rushed upon each oilier like unto wild beasts, The battle having been lost, all rights of war were denied them hoth in virtue of old ties of hatred, niwl because thr Freshmen bail never before been advisers of peace. The Sophs base been confirmed in the ey es of all as the champions of Athletics.

While his averted eyes Grew misty with tendrriirv and glad new of surprise. The eloquence of silence suffused the atmosphere Hunks, themes, professors, forgotten with her so near, And the stars twinkled merrily down. Then he slowly turned his head.

No. gentle listener, this isn't ■ Holy Roller meeting nor .1 political caucus, either. It is simply the sound that floats around the Library building every Thursday after noon, for here the Literary Societies of Mercer hold their sessions. In 1K.S4, w hen Mercer ,was not even a College and the University had never teen thought of, the Franklin Society was organized at Mercer Institute in Pm field, for the promotion of literary and oratorical endeavor among the students. The following year, the Ciceronian and Phi Delta Literary Societies were funned from this first organization, and they have continuet! down to the present day in a flourishing condi- tum. Though hoary with age. their eyes arc not dim. nor their natural fora- abated.' The Societies meet regularly every Thursday afternoon, and discuss every topic of tlie day, from the six-year term for President to the frantic demonstrations of militant suffragettes. There is a spirit of friendly rivalry between them, and this finds opportunity to show itself in the big debates between representatives of the two Societies. 1 here are five of these debates, annually, four being held in Mercer chapel, and the other at the ttaptist Assembly at Hlite Ridge m the summer. All thesi' are en- in ed immensely’—especially by the w inning side, which sometimes; happens to be one. at other times the other. The two Literary Societies have done much for the University, both in culture and in College spirit, and they have produced some of the greatest of Georgia's great men. i 7 1 gl] (the 1913 CAULDRON ■ FALL TERM DEBATE Phi Delta CicfrwiiaitH Affirmative Negative f .

STROUD 14 THE 1913 CAULDRON We Have Kept rhe Faith Iti the commitments of Proviilcncr or Fair , it luu devolved upon its as Senior in uphold tin good name of Mefctt in all hn many activities. Now comes 10 us the not unpleasant task «if trial mu rlic history rtur plucky athletes have made since our predecessors laid down their burden anti their pen, First, ter take this opportunity to outline flu- spirit and the tone of our sports, for ideals van and etuis often obmide ilitniselvts before the less insistent means. fetter believes in making her athletics organic with the main function of the Ciil- Irgc. which is tn develop character and efficiency. We believe our teams reflect this attitude, sacrificing nothing of their amateur spirit tu an uvex-intense desire tn win, and insisting that membership shall hr conditioned on satisfactory scholarship as well as sportsmanlike conduct. 1 he waves «if professionalism that occasionally surgr up around the personnel of Collect teams do not bear against olit $1 Votes, and ffc arc pleased and proud in the fact that Mercer's representative trams, while they are maintaining and improving their status as fixed quantities in inter-colleptare athletics, are making no sacrifice nf dean sportsmanship, but ‘pari passu' are developing in spirit and general moral. L'n h-ss they can Iv conducted on this plane, inter collegiate athletics have no place in our American college hie, which is rapidly crystallizing Toward higher ideals and more JpfiniTr, fixeil purposes. Mercer countenances no other rhan clean sjwn t, ami insists shat visiting teams are nut guests, due every gentlemanly courtesy, and especially that they he extrmled every opportunity for fair and honorable combat, .n much for Mriver's general attitude, hei ideals of spnrr. Allow us now tn review briefly The major athletic activities of the past year. The pace set in baseball in t«H i was a fast tine, l lie Southern championship was lost hi a physical accident m a single game where Mercer suffered a 5 to 2 defeat. The mast sanguine of Her supporters could not reasonably expect this relative position tn Iu- duplicated in Mjl2. however they might hope; yet. when rhe smoke cleared away I mm the S 1. A. A. field, we found nr hail lost to Alabama, tied with Tech and wmi the om from M A, M , Auburn, Term., and Scwanee. Surely rhis was a most creditable showing, and maintains Merci-i prominent I ■, on the baseball map. Ilefure this irut hook appears from the press Mercer's n i t baseball history will have been made. Wr expect a few nightshirts to be street-grimed, as well as sorv- trars r.( sorrow r« be shed and is not tins like life Itself? Mercer men will be good spoilsmen, how ever, hoping and working always tor the best, We acknowledge our relatively lower position in football, but no Mtrreriia feels that In- needs tu apologize for the showing of his Varsity team. In numbers, prestige and tradition the odds are against us, and yet year after tear our teams an: growing into .1 Standard grade, laying foundations and building traditions that will in-urr Mercer's always being a very considerable factor on the- Southern gridiron, f hie fact stands out prominently our teams do nut disintegrate in mid-season, but round tu playing their best ar the very end. Injuries and other losses scent bur to .iroioe .1 more desperate lighting spirit. Wirli a little more- initiative, and a little broader system for the development of our material—all of which is practically iit- 142 ■ THE 1913 CAULDRON ■. experienced— Mrrecr leds that a portion nf the future belongs id her. Not a man ni our lint had hml preparatory school experience in football, and always Mercer most plan to take strong, earnest, manly fellows who can lie stirred to enthusiasm to pur their loyal spirit into her service. Wr have the men. we have the spirit amt we are developing the ream. In review, we ran saj we counted upon losing to Auburn: we imped for better resulis in the I ech game—a reasonable hope when uiie remembers how Mercer over- ran the Jackets in the first quarter. Gordon, Howard. Stetson and Columbia we ex- pected to defeat, and did mi very easily, Wc swung into the home stretch with Ten nrssrr, ClatHon and Florida ahead, each going very strong. All comparative scores gave them a decided advantage. Or the result?- longed all our claim to recognition and manfully did Mercer assert herself, The powerful Volunteers were ruddy awakened by ,i score, and all the South sat op and took notice, hut at the cast ol three uteri being disabled from the already small squad. Clemsttn came down with the hrst team in years to avenge two previous defeats, and although our team could never really arouse itself, and threw away chance after chance, it lost only hy the dose store o| 21-13. Florida had dropped hut two games in two yrars, unc each to Tech ami Auburn, and was supremely confident of taking the big Thanksgiving Day game at Jack- sonville, yet Mercer, even with a much crippled team, out-played the 'Gators all thf way. hut had to he content with a (,hi score. Mercer has the spirit and determination to make good; he i making good and yearly commands more respect. With more material, even untrained, and a more comprehensive plan of working it up, we know we shall reach nut goal, which is up abreast the leaders. The distance is not far to go. Wr niivv dime in the cycle of our sports to basketball. and here as in baseball out traditions are laid and our place is about the top. Although four regulars id the star team of igjj were absent and the case looked hopeless, Mercer’s determination claimed its own, ami a good, representative team, able to meet any college team in the South, was developed, It was a grievous dis- appointment and entirely unexpected to drop a liuntc g; me to I’rch a few days after the return from a week's road trip. During this trip, however. Tech was defeated on her own court, and the star Athletic Club was out played nn its r.wn big Aviso. In fact, Mercer U the only college in three tears to defeat A. A. L . and this year its showing there was the best made by a visiting college live Johnny Westmoreland made a doughty leader, and since he has a nearly veteran team to return, we look forward to a great ■season next winter. Any writeup ol Mercer's athletic- would he far from complete and considerate it it made no mention of the devoted spirit ot service id our scrubs, and how cm selfishly they present themselves a living sacrifice to the up-building of the Varsity teams. Surely they have their reward, and 1 i t the least in their cheering and often realized hope of becoming Varsity themselves. Mercer teams of 1913-14, we already salute you, yml may your record add new lustre to the escutcheon of our Orange and Black. ■ THE 1913 CAULDRON m Wearers of the “M (!. Ir'. Kelley J, F. N ormiin J.
