In this edition of Reveille we have again taken up the work left off in 1898. For the book we have no apology to offer. It has cost us time and labor, and we feel that we have done what we could. We have long felt the need of a more complete summary of the Col- lege year than we could get through our College magazine; something to which we, in after years, could turn and be reminded of the College as it was when we were students. We therefore determined to make an effort to get together and compile such materials as would best serve this purpose. In making up the roll of the Senior Class we have tried to obtain for each man some appropriate verse. You will doubtless notice the absence of such verses after the names of the Editors. We are adverse to criticising ourselves, as it is hard to see ourselves as others see us. Let no one become incensed at what we have said, but remember that you are what you are regardless of what we may say. To the next editors we wish to say a word. Begin early, work hard, remember the old saying, Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day. If we have in any particular made it easier for you in the next year ' s work we will feel amply repaid for what we have done. We hope that the work again begun, you will continue, and make your An- nual second to none in the South. Dear readers, do not be too severe in your criticism; remember that there must be a beginning somewhere, though it be ever so small and that it takes practice to make perfect. EDITORS. J. H.

The Class of 190G had its origin many years ago, and as there is no accurate record of that prehistoric period, we will omit reciting the tra- ditions of those horrible times, and will begin with September 17, 1902, to record our real history. With E. L. Joyner, President, and W. Lambert, Vice-President, the Freshman year of this class was begun. One hundred and seventy-two members were enrolled, but before the end of the session there were but a few over a hundred of us left. We constituted a little less than one- third of the entire student body, yet we were insignificant in the eyes of those above us; but we were not to be always thus, for the football team needed material. Many of our classmates tried for places, and the best center-rush that ever played on a team at this College was one of these Freshmen; we also furnished a half back. When the football sea- son closed we were simply used as tools by which those above us could earn their future ranks in the Military Department. But when spring rolled around we again came into prominence by furnishing three men for the baseball team. The baseball spirit ran high in the class as a whole, for each sec- tion put forth a team to try to win the championship of the class. It was won by C Section. Besides the baseball spirit there existed one of prize-fighting also, but it was confined principally to A and D divisions. But few of us were brave enough to enter society, so we occupied our time pretty well with our studies, and when the session was over we were prepared to begin the greatest year of our lives. Our heads were larger than any other classman ' s; thirty of us had ranks higher, and, taking everything else into account, we were, according to our own judgment, the most important personages in school. We were joined by thirteen others, and our roll was increased to eighty members. We were very wisely cared for under the administra- tion of J. H. Belford and W. D. Reid. In athletics we again stood at the front, for we furnished the star center rush and a substitute for the foot- ball team, and furnished eight out of the twelve men of the baseball squad. This session, as a whole, bade fair to be a banner one in the intel- lectual development of young Mississippians; but just after Christmas the measles broke out and were followed by the mumps. When these two epidemics had passed, our ranks had been thinned by men leaving school, and everyone had lost a great deal of time. Even with all these setbacks we pushed forward and worked harder. This was to have been the year for us to make our debut into Stark- ville society; but on account of being back in our studies, most of us postponed this important event in our college life. The session ' s end drew nearer each day, and the nearer it came the smaller grew our opin- 39 ions of ourselves, for we realized that we were but men, and that our achievements in military glory were but as a mirage in the desert. Com- mencement came and we were relieved of our corporalships, and given less responsible offices for the next year, and tided over to the session of 1904-19(15. In our Junior year forty-two of us returned and were under the pros- perous administration of President A. P. Kerr and Vice-President V. B. Alexander. Though small in number, we were strong in our actions, for we as a class rose up and stamped out jacking from among us, thereby setting a good example to the entire school. As a result of our actions in the case we developed into much stronger men from a mental and moral point of view. From a standpoint of physical development, we made great progress. During the autumn nearly all of us played football. We furnished five men for the football team, and our class team won the championship of the College. On Thanksgiving Day our team went to Columbus and defeated a team from the Franklin Academy by a score of 40 to 0. Next came the baseball season. We had a good class team and were beaten only by the Chicks, and it was Sherman, the Varsity pitcher, who beat us. We also furnished four men for the Varsity team. Commencement came again, the Seniors received their diplomas, and stepped down and out, while we stepped up and in. The session was late in opening on account of the prevalence of yellow fever, but on No- vember the 1st thirty-nine of us returned and fixed our eyes upon the cov- eted goal which lay seven and a half long months ahead of us. This being the last year we could spend here together, we banded ourselves together with the determination of making the most of our time. Soon after school opened, we organized and placed ourselves under the direction of our able President W. D. Reid and Vice-President B. Bishop. On account of the lateness of the opening, we were unable to put forth a class football team; but contented ourselves with furnishing four stars for the team that beat the University. Our time being limited, we have had all that we could do to finish out oui ' work on time, and as to how well we have done this work we will leave to others to judge. In leaving this institution, we boast of some things that no preced- ing class can, and they are: leaders in athletics, a red-headed man, hon- esty in opinion, and the youngest major. To compile a real history of this class for the past four years would require volumes, so on account of such limited space, we wish to men- tion a few of the most important things. In leaving this institution to help make history for our country, we wish those who follow us unbounded success, and hope that when their historian chronicles the happenings of their college career, he may have a broader vocabulary than ours and all the space he needs. And we beg of you that when you too shall have gone from the walls of our beloved institution, and that if you should pass a grave of one of us, just stop, utter a prayer, shed a tear, and say, He did his best; angels could have done no more.

As in the formation of a rock a few particles are united together, and the passing wind places more thereon; but at the same time by the process of erosion the rock constantly wears away; just so was the Class of 1907 formed. At first there was only a nucleus, but year by year more members were added, and yet each year some were taken away, until now we have a solid polished rock. This class as a whole is not without its laurels, and it has warranted the praise that has been bestowed upon it. Bound together by an ardent spirit, eliminating all feelings of enmity, and standing united in action, it has worked in harmony. There has been no discord, and priding them- selves on being members of the Class of 1907, each member has worked for the good of the class, and endeavored to secure that unity which is so necessary for strength. Just as the whole is made up of its parts, so the quality of the whole is made up of the quality of the i|arts; and the individual members are not without their honors. While I will not enumerate these honors to you, it is enough to say that there is hardly a profession or trade that is not represented in the Junior Class, and when they leave school, you may expect results from the training and knowledge that has been received at the A. M. You will find them in every field of work, from the horticulturist to the author, from the mechanic to the lawyer, from the textile to the literary man, from the agriculturalist to the poet — all lines will be made more digni- fied by the presence of some of this class. And now, my readers, when my superior shall tell you about this wonderful class next year, I am sure he will describe to you a rock, solid, polished, smooth and crystallized — in short, he will picture to you the gem of the ocean.

In September, 1904, one hundred and ninety fellows presented them- selves as candidates tor the Freshman Class. Not all the boys, however; for they ranged from the timid youth 10 the bald-headed man. Some who had been to other colleges, and others who had spent a year or two in Prep easily submitted to the yoke. Those who were entering col- lege, however, for the first time chafed under the strict discipline; but they, too, were soon hardened, and all pulled steadily together. It was not long before we realized the necessity of leaders; therefore all assem- bled in the chapel and chose several officers to attend to class matters; and selected orange and blue as class colors. The class took an active part in all college work; was represented on the Varsity Football Team by the stars, McGeorge at quarter, Rus- sell at left end, and Yevger at. full back-. On the Varsity Baseball Team the class of 08 was represented by Adams in right field, and Woods in the pitcher ' s box. Our Class Football Team also had the distinction of winning the first game played away from home, scalping the Meridian High School by a score of 5 to 0. The winners of the medals for the best declamations were V. Posey, of the Philotechnic, and C. N. Brum- field, of the Dialectic. Nine were chosen to complete the ranks of the Historic Lee Guard; and sixteen, to perfect the organization of the George Rifles. While our members were being chosen to fill vacancies, it is well to remember that the first Cadet Band was organized in Jan- uary, 1905; and that seven Freshmen played important parts in this band. As Commencement Day approached, every move by us was made with caution; for that day would tell who should wear the long hoped-for chevrons — the beloved object of every Freshman. The faces of the dis- appointed boys were dreadful to behold. In November, 1905, one hundred and twenty returned to their school home to resume their work at the institution they had learned to love. From the number that matriculated twenty new members were added to the roll, among whom was our welcomed co-ed Miss Clyde Willis. At the organization of the class the usual number of officers were elected, the names of whom appear elsewhere. The class at present numbers more than any previous Sophomore Class, and is known for its gameness and ability. On the gridiron the class was again represented by the Invincibles. McGeorge, captain and quarter back; Dee, left guard; and Mclnnis, right guard. By the earnest efforts of a few Sophomores the A. M. C. Tennis Club was organized. For the Varsity Baseball Team we have already many candidates. In the Academic Department our class is performing many stunts consid- ering the short and crowded session. Bright looks the future, and we feel that our class will not fail in the future to do honor to both the Col- lege and the State. L. G. PRENTICE, Historian. 62 03 FRESHMAN CLASS.

On the bleak and windy night of the first of November, 1905, a large package was found, rolled up, on the Chapel steps. Someone had curi- osity enough to unroll it, and that person opened a bundle containing two hundred and thirty bawling Freshmen, huddled against each other. They were nearly frightened to death. The four departments — viz., Agricult- ural, Mechanical, Textile and Pedagogical, were represented in force. The Agricultural division, consisting of four sections, made up a total of sixty-nine men; the Mechanical, of four sections also, ninety-nine men; the Textile, five men; the Pedagogical, thirty. This Freshman Class, one of the largest in the history of the Col- lege, though new men, is not without athletic interest. The football team did not accomplish its purpose in a wonderful measure, but with the present baseball team, the prospects are more promising. Captain Loeb, of the football team, and Captain Hamilton, of the baseball team, have worked faithfully against many difficulties, and hope, after this season ' s training and reverses, to be able to put on next year ' s field more promising football and baseball teams. Most of us came up from the Prep — some have been two-year Preps, sweet little things — and we are rather insignificant in our pres- ent position; nevertheless, we hope next year, when we return, to be Gallant Sophomores. The Freshman Class — oh, let its light Shine brightly in the College story! And ever, in the future, bring Upon your lives, unceasing glory. t;s The Preps 99 CO HISTORY OF THE PREPARATORY CLASS. Last, but not least in size and number, come the Preps. They are two hundred and fifty strong, and most of them stand head and shoul- ders above everyone in College. It is an established fact that Preps make Seniors, but that seems very poor consolation to the Preps, and I suspect it is for this reason-- that they never give the question a serious thought. Although they are very ambitious, they never seem to build air- castles about what they will do when they become Seniors; it is always the thought of becoming corporals that inspires them to do their duty and makes it easy to respect the upper-classman. After we think of it, how can we expect the Prep to ever think of rising to the lofty heights of dignity of a Senior when they get the credit of doing everything that is ridiculous whether they are guilty or not. It is the Pre]) that turns the lights off by putting the globe in his dresser drawer: it is the Prep that says verses at Sunday morning inspection; it is the Prep that taps Doc ; it is the Prep that walks extras, and a thousand other things too numerous to mention. After all of this, no wonder the Prep likes to Whistle Home, Sweet Home, and you could not blame them if he should dream of such a place at night. One thing is very characteristic of the Preps, and that is to have their picture taken as soon as they get their uniforms. Now in conclusion, Preps, allow me to say: though your road is long and rocky: though your head is bald: though your joints are stiff: stick to it and do your duty, and when that long-looked-for day comes that records five years of hard labor, it can be said: Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Tii 6:00 A. M.: HERE! 71 MISSISSIPPI POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. 1965-66. The old administration building that stood near the old dormitory of forty years ago has been replaced by a modern structure. The new building has 275 feet front and runs back about 90 feet. It is fitted with all modern conveniences, such as electric heating, electro-magnetic stair- way, etc. The first floor is occupied by the Department of English and Foreign Languages. Just inside the main entrance is a marble statue of Prof. W. H. Magruder, who was Professor of English during the early development of the institution. The second floor is occupied by the De- partment of Mechanical Engineering, the third by the Department of Civil Engineering, the fourth by the Department of Electricity. It was in this hall that Prof. K developed his wireless system of electrical transmission. The fifth is given to the study of aerial and subterranean navigation, and the sixth is the College Museum. Among the relics are several caps, an old gun, a bugle, a flashlight, and many other curios that were in use about fifty years ago. Prof. Bishop, of the famous Class of ' 06, was a pleasant visitor on our Campus on the 1st inst. He exhibited his new whistlephone, which he has developed after many months of hard labor. It is unique in con- struction, being operated by compressed air, and can be adjusted to any airship in such a manner that it. will whistle out the name of the town. This is quite different from the old-time way when the conductor had to pass through each coach and call the name several times. Dr. Brock, another member of the Class of ' 06, was with us on the 10th inst. He presented the electric laboratory with two of his new type storage batteries. They are of 175 K.W. output at 4000 volts. They weigh less than ten pounds each, and can be carried in the vest-pocket. The Doctor conceived of the possibility of the design while a student here. He has used it to a good advantage for annihilating his enemies by simply shaking hands with them. This was the first use sought when he began to study them out. His success is due to his hard study of the subject, and he now reaps his glory, for he is acknowledged as an author- ity far superior to the famous Dr. Steinmetz. Governor Reid made a hurry-up trip to meet these gentlemen here, this being the first meeting since their graduation in ' 06, and it was quite a pleasure to each one. Drs. Smith and Cutrer arranged a nice banquet for their famous classmates. Dr. Smith prepared all of the milk and all the flavors by his new chemical method, while Dr. Cutrer made the ice cream out of some and churned the other. The quality of both the milk and the butter is far superior to that of the Jersey cow ' s. Dr. Brock was very much gratified with the progress being made on the new brewery, which is almost completed. Governor Reid told us of his pardoning three of his classmates. Con- stable S. C. Spencer arrested Sim Lewis, Butts Lambert, and Hap- py Johnson for vagrancy, and carried them before Justice of the Peace Sut Burns, who sentenced them to serve sixty days at the gas plant of the State Aerial Substation at Jackson. The pardon was recommended by Missionaries Harden and Willis, who had just returned from Dutch East Africa; also by Messrs. Love, Aston, Welch, and Stiles, all of the latter being large planters and former classmates of the unfortunates. Dr. Taggart, head of the Department of Chemistry in Berlin, and Mr. Alexander, president of the great international cotton goods syndicate, paid us their respects on the 22d. Our Football Team returned on the 14th inst., from Oxford, England, where they had been to play several games of football with that Univer- sity. We are very glad to state that they won five out of the six games played. The Englishmen put up a stiff game, but our new battering-ram and punting machine outclassed theirs in every way. We feel indebted to Senators Tate and Oliver for their aid in the developing of this great athletic machine. The manager of our baseball team has signed a contract to play three games of baseball in Leipsic on April 22d, 23d, and 24th. The team will leave in the College flyer on Sunday and will be gone ' eight days. They expect to visit all of the large cities of Europe and return by way of Pekin, Tokyo, and Honolulu. Daily service between here and the I. I. C. has been established, and the students of each institution are very much pleased with the ser- vice rendered by the new transportation company. The boys and girls can be together when they like, as there are no restrictions placed upon them. The large park midway between the two institutions has been com- pleted and is set apart for a lovers ' paradise, and can be entered only by the students from these schools. It is open at all times. The Reveille will have its photographic work done in Boston this year. The apparatus has been set in place, and everything is in read- iness for the time. The groups will be placed between a huge mirror, and the electrostatic machine will take up the reflection from the mirror and transmit the impression to the headquarters in Boston by the wire- less method. We take pleasure in mentioning that this great invention was per- fected by Messrs. Knost, Herrington, Eastland, and Carothers, of the Class of ' 06. While moving into the new library last week, H. M. Rush found an old Reflector, published February, 1908. It contained but seventy pages of reading matter. The Editor-in-Chief boasted of the size of this par- ticular number. What would he say if he could receive one of our issues which contains five hundred and twenty pages of reading matter, and is published semi-weekly? H. M. H. Ilbilitarv MILITARY ORGANIZATION. J. C.

Not so many years after the founding of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, the students saw fit to organize, apart from the compulsory military organizations within the military department of the institution, a special company to answer the call from near-by places for companies drilled in fancy movements to participate in memorial and other affairs. To this company was given the name of The Lee Guard, in honor of that gallant Southerner who was then president of this insti- tution, General Stephen D. Lee. Since the first year of its history, the Lee Guard has been a conspic- uous figure in the military circles of the State, holding the honor of being the first among the many of military organizations. When we name the Lee Guard as being the best drilled company within the State, we speak not from vainglorious ideas nor from selfish opinions, but from what has proven to be. In December, 1905, the management of the Cotton and Corn Carnival, of Jackson, Miss., announced a competitive drill between the companies of the State to take place during their exhibition of that year. In this contest the Lee Guard entered with the result that a most beautiful flag of royal purple and gold — the company ' s colors — was presented the Lee Guard as the prize for the superior. While the Lee Guard is a student organization, yet to it all students cannot belong, for in the selection and election of members we aim to get the best; namely, those of the best physique and military bearing, and who will take interest and pride in the company after their election. Thus you see it is quite a compliment paid one in electing him to our membership. SOME CAMPUS SCENES. THE J. Z. GEORGE RIFLES. Officers. H. M. Rush Captain E.T.Burns First Lieutenant W. H.

One Sabbath day at eventide While walking by the railroad side; A car of bananas some students spied, And back to their rooms they did hie With a big bunch o ' ' nanas. They up the steps did lightly tread. And hid the bunch beneath their bed; They went to sup on zip and bread. When they returned some one had fled With that big bunch o ' ' nanas. Two hours after call to quarters. Their minds were like troubled waters; They went to the car in a round-about way, And were surprised to find the Officer ' Day Who comes to this banana car? Many matches he did light. As he heard the culprits speedy flight; But lo, he could not catch a sight Of him who in the depth of night Came to the banana car. His matches flashed o ' er many a head; The culprits quaked in violent dread; And each hurried to his room to bed, While in Stentorian voice the O. D. said, Who comes to this banana car. In their rooms the student breathed a prayer, While straight on end stood every hair, And trembled with a ghastly stare, When the question was propounded fair: Who went to that banana car? I do not know, was the reply, Whoe ' er it was was awful sly. For I in the grass did calmly lie, And watch you, others terrify As they went to the banana car. Next night our major searched o ' er and o ' er; He searched the barracks from floor to floor. His questions rang from door to door, But when he left he knew no more Of those who went to the banana car. 112 113 DIALECTIC LITERARY SOCIETY. Officers for the session of 1905-1906. FIRST TERM.

Gulledge Librarian 114 REPORT OF THE DIALECTIC LITERARY SOCIETY. Owing to the late opening of school this session, caused by the yel- low fever epidemic, the society work has not been what we might have expected; although considering the rush for time and the unusual amount of work in our academic duties, we have done exceedingly well. The membership has increased a great deal, and the attendance also exceeds that of last year by a large number. At almost every meeting the house is full with no vacant seats. Such an increase in attendance shows that the interest in society work is continually growing. As a rule, the meetings have been more interesting and entertain- ing this session than ever before. Much of this is due to the addition of music to the exercises, which also, is no doubt partially the cause of the large attendance. Music is furnished by the Dialectic Society Band. At the beginning of the session the society purchased a bass violin and we now have a band consisting of six stringed instruments, which aids considerably in making the work of the society entertaining. The society meets in its hall every Friday evening at about 7:30 o ' clock. The regular exercises usually consist of declamations by mem- bers of the Freshman and Preparatory classes, a debate by four mem- bers of the Sophomore Class, a select reading by a member of the Junior Class, and an oration by a member of the Senior Class. After this comes the criticism and explanations of parliamentary questions. The meetings usually last from one and one-half to two hours. Because of the large membership making it impossible for each mem- ber to come on duty on the regular programmes often enough to obtain the most good from the work, the fourth regular meeting in each month is given to an irregular debate in which all of the members take part. During each session we have three public meetings, one in each term. The first consists principally of a debate by four members of the Junior Class and an oration by a member of the Senior Class. The sec- ond public meeting, which comes iD the middle term is composed of a debate by four members of the Sophomore Class and an oration by a member of the Senior Class. A medal is awarded to the best debater. The third meeting, which is the anniversary of the society, takes place at the close of the last term. It consists of four declamations by mem- bers of the Freshman and Preparatory classes, and the anniversary ad- dress by the Anniversarian of the Society. A medal is given to the best declaimer. Another important feature of society work is the Alumni debate, which is a part of the Commencement exercises. Two of the debaters are chosen from the Dialectic Society, while the other two are members of the Phil- otechnic Society. The A. M. College Alumni Association gives a medal to the best debater. 115 PHILOTECHNIC LITERARY SOC ETY. Officers. A, L. Love, Anniversarian. FIRST TERM. G. W. Harden President S. V. Aston Vice-President R.

The Society was organized in 1880, and had for charter members some of the College ' s most famous graduates. A regular meeting is held every Friday evening in the Society Hall and a public meeting during each term in the Chapel. The work of the Society consists of declamation, participated in by members of the Freshman and Sophomore classes; debate, by members of the Sophomore and Junior classes; and oration and reading, by mem- bers of the Senior class. A set of officers is elected to serve for each term. The Anniversa- rian, however, is elected for the whole session. 117 THE COLLEGE REFLECTOR.

Boons Assistant Bus iness Manager 118 Relibous ffleelinq fammitfee (6-G.5now The year just closing has heen characterized by an unusual earnest- ness, fixedness of purpose, and zeal in the work upon the part of the mem- bership. The Y. M. C. A. has thus exerted a strong moral and religious influence upon the lives of many men in the student body, and has sought in many ways to make itself useful in furthering the cause of Jesus Christ. Now have these efforts been fruitless. The Association has enrolled a membership of 275. The Sunday evening services have been regularly held, well attended, and marked by a spirit of earnestness and deep rev- erence upon the part of all who have attended. The Wednesday evening prayer-meetings have been a source of inspiration and spiritual power in the lives of a large number of men who have been in regular attendance. At least twenty Bible classes have been conducted throughout the year with an aggregate membership of 250 men, a large percentage of whom have been in regular attendance at all the weekly meetings. These means, together with a large and active committee to hold out a helping hand to new students at the beginning of the year, are illustrations of the manner in which the Association is seeking to line up to the spirit of all genuine religious work — that of love, sympathy, and service to men. Two of the most urgent needs of the Y. M. C. A. interests are a well- equipped and adequate building and a general secretary consecrated to the work of furthering the religious spirit among College men. A move- ment looking toward the realization of the first of these needs has already been inaugurated; and it is confidently believed that with the construc- tion of an adequate building will come also the realization of the second need, that of the general secretary, whose entire time shall be given to this work. About the 15th of April, 1904, eight students and three instructors met in the Dialectic Society Hall, in response to a call for such a meeting. After a thorough discussion, it was unanimously decided that the time was 122 ripe for a successful attempt to secure a Y. M. C. A. building fitted to meet the needs of the students especially in spiritual things. It was suggested that, as a test of the earnestness of those present, each state the sum he felt able and willing to pledge. The result was eleven responses amounting in the aggregate to one thousand dollars. On motion it was further resolved, That those present and any oth- ers who may be subsequently taken into this circle do hereby pledge to each other, to the Y. M. C. A. interest of the College, to Christian morality and manhood, and to the glory of our common Lord, that we will do every- thing in our power to secure a first-class Y. M. C. A. building at the Col- lege, with the view of making the Y. M. C. A. the controlling moral influ- ence in the student life of this institution. As showing the further progress of this movement, the following ex- tract from a circular issued by the Building Committee, December 21, 1904, is here quoted: Here at the Agricultural and Mechanical College, the students are earnestly working to secure a well-equipped Young Men ' s Christian Asso- ication building. Believing, as we do, that healthy religion requires the development of man ' s whole nature, we propose to include in this build- ing, rooms for religious meetings, for social gatherings of students and their friends, and for reading. In addition to these there are to be rooms for the literary societies and for the editors of the College paper. There will be also a good gymnasium and swimming-pool. The aim, in short, is to encourage in every branch of student life a wholesome activity under manly Christian influence. Now to erect such a building as that already described, large enough to meet our needs, will cost about thirty thousand dollars. It is our firm conviction that the boys are entitled to such a home, and that it will prove effective in helping them to overcome the temptations arising from a bare life in dormitories away from home influences. So strong, indeed, is our conviction about this, that already the students have pledged themselves for thirty-four hundred dollars, payable on or before September 15, 1906; the president and seven teachers have pledged themselves for sixteen hun- dred dollars, and three friends of the institution who understand our con- ditions have pledged themselves for gifts equivalent in value to one thou- sand and fifty dollars. The movement is now in charge of the Building Committee, with Mr. T. W. Davis as chairman, who is much interested in the movement, and is trying to press it to an early conclusion. 123 PILLOW FIGHT. 125 126 Clubs JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS CLUB OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SCIENCE.

The John Sharp Williams Club of Economic and Social Science aims at making its members realize their duty as educated men to study such economic, political, and social questions as bid fair to affect seriously the welfare of Mississippi or of the Union. The stress is laid on developing breadth of view and patriotic sincerity of purpose. It is held that candid examination of the known facts is the only sound basis for any definite conclusions about public questions. It is, accordingly, part of the policy of the Club to invite representa- tive citizens to discuss before it from time to time various public ques- tions from different points of view. Careful examination of the views ex- pressed by such speakers and by writers of important articles upon the topics in hand is an essential part of the Club ' s work. Members are chosen for life. These are taken chiefly from the under- graduate students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Missis- sippi. The number of such students at any one time shall usually not exceed ten. 12 GERMAN CLUB. E. C. Ewing President E. T. Burns Secretary J. M. Brogan Treasurer Invitation Committee. L. M. Joyner, J; B.
