he expects to enjoy. On the other hand, the Gownsman accords to the younger and less experienced Junior that good-natured, patronizing tolerance which one is accustomed to bestow on an admiring small brother. After all, he never seems to be very far removed from the days of his own juniority. On the division of the second classification, which obtains among any body of students, but little need be said. Every university and college has its athletes, its burners of the midnight oil, and a third set which belongs to neither of these, but tries very hard to usurp a place among the latter. In Sewanee, as is natural, each class has its followers, but fortunately the numbers of the last named are appreciably in the minority. The lives of the athlete and of the hard-working student explain themselves. That of the former, figuratively speaking, is one continual round of beer and skittles, regulated b} ' healthy athletic training. His parents are not troubled with thoughts of his breaking down through excess of study. Although to all outward appearances per- fectly healthy, yet early morning headaches, before and after dinner stomach troubles necessitate his frequent absence from chapel and class. Resolutions made by him to brace up and do some work are received by his friends with a sarcastic and skeptical smile. His inclination for mental refreshment is lacking in the same degree as the athletic abilities of his hard-working brother. The exemplary student, on the other hand, is one big bundle of virtues. He is never sick. Noth- ing short of complete destruction to the building would prevent his attendance in the class room. No ailment less serious than Bright ' s disease would prevail upon him to neglect preparation of his classes. He follows up a Greek root with as much eagerness as the athlete studies a new wrinkle in ' ' tackling. ' ' Each feels a contempt for the other, and both are satisfied with their respective accomplishments. The one deserving less attention, but demanding more, owing to the twofold nature of his char- acter, is the would-be-considered-studious individual. He desires to be thought a hard student, and to become a profound scholar, and will do any thing, save buckle down to work, to satisfy these ambi- tions. He makes elaborate preparations for study, reduces his work to a perfect system, which fails in the application only because it is unsystematic. But the gilt finish soon disappears from the new plaything; the books are not so interesting as outward appearance would lead to suppose; the pipe mmouM makes him sick, and the whole thing becomes a deuce of a nuisance, anyhow. ' the pretense is abandoned, to be renewed at irregular intervals. But however shallow and frivolous the conceits and prejudices of the outward and visible may seem, underneath it all burns the steady flame of Sewanee spirit, unnoticeable, perhaps, when the mind is occupied with affairs of only individual concern, but assuming volcanic proportions on any occasion in which the interest of the University is involved. A common love for the University unites all classes. The Gownsman and the Junior, the athlete, the student and the would-be join together as a harmonious whole in deploring her misfortunes, and in singing a heartfelt hallelujah at each and every success. The presence of such a spirit has done much in the past for the reputation of the University, and the first signs of its absence will sound the warning note in a never-ending period of decline. So for a while
