Dr. W eaver is a dreamer, but not an idlr dreamer, lie is one of rlio.se who dream and then wake up and exert every effort to make their dreams come true.

Flint night preliminary plans were made to nuke the enrollment even larger next year. Tiip School or Law Flic School of Law of Mercer Lrnvrrsity has gained distinction for itself during the rear. It has recently hern admitted to the American Association nl Law Schools. This admission of the School of Law into this association places it on equal standing with tlir greatest in the country. This recognition oi the law school has been due to the untiring efforts nf Dean Fish, Dr. Harris, secretary nr the school, and Dr. Moorr, librarian of the school. Ath 1. tries This has been Mercer's greatest tear in athletics. She has developed ami placed on the held a football team that has done greater things than any other in the history of the school. Hut the greatest achievement in the line of athletics has been attained by the basketball team. For the two years before this Mercer has had a great basket hall team, but it has always lacked thr final punch necessary to win a Southern cham- pionship. This year that final punch was developed. Playing siv nights out of seven, the team defeated Cieorgia two games, rested Sunday night arid .Monday night began the S. L A. A. Tournament, They defeated Mil Laps, Dwisiamt College, Missis sippi College, and Centre College, and thereby won rlie S. I. A, A, championship. We are proud of the individual players ami of Coach Gillam, for it is these men to whom all the credit is due. Gift Cl-i B In spraking nf achievements, nc must say a few words of the f Sire Club.
