No T graduate secures a diploma without a large amount of recompensing effort. Between the state of plodding toil and the opposite and exhilarating displays of college spirit at athletic games, there is the current of daily dispassionate existence. It is at the games, or in the preparation for them, that the college pulse beats violently. The football season keeps the whole world agog with anticipation of trips and big games. The riot of color and sound, and theescape of pent up enthusiasm. At the Vanderbilt game .on Lambeth Field next fall, the carnival spirit will be let loose, but such excitement does not continue the. whole year. Individuality co'mes from the happenings of the workaday existence. The town of Charlottesville is not a city that offers a wide range of entertainment, and the University community is almost entirely thrown back upon itself for its pleasures. Those pastimes are altogether of a social nature. It has been pointed out that there has been a decline in the tendency to associate with the opposite sex, the Ucalicou problem being taken care of by less than half the students, while the others seek communion among themselves. The college student is a gregarious animal, essentially clubbable. Each ' man has 'ample oppor- tunity to observe his fel- lows, and the contact results in a welI-regu- lated society. The plainest manifestation of college life is to be seen at the Corner, and here a digression is NEW EDUCATIONAL BUILDING in order. i
