Here is an ardent believer that there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will. ' A promising minister of the Gospel, whose mild manners, graceful and eloijuent deli -ery. will sway audiences gathered together from the highways and hedges, hamlets and cities. Self-confident, enterprising, with the hermit ' s love for seclusion and the devotion of a great man to his duties, he promises us that old age shall not find him like the belated virgins, nor o ' er eager to accomplish the impossible. Content with the present only when it gi ' es promise of a better future, he seems to the stranger, eccentric and cranky; but to those who know him liest, he prn es himself an unassuming gentleman, Joseph Buren Clayton TRAXSVLVAXIA COUNTY, N.

A typical mountaineer, with a singular stride. ;i pedagogic look, a determined, invincible coun- tenance, studious and industrious habits. He has his own opinirms and expresses them freely. He has made excellent marks in his classes, and the fact that he graduates in three years, demonstrates his superior mental ability. He was a prominent member of his psychology class, and often, while at the table his voice could easily be heard abo e the rest mingling his own opinions with those of Mr. Davis on Pure truth. Clayton is well liked by all the boys. He goes forth a well prepared pedagogue to train the minds of the vouths in The land of the skv. '

Pard hails from the land beyond the Blue Ridge, and the mountains seem to have imparted - ' me of their loftiness to his ambition and purposes. He is a splendid student, having completed his course creditably in three years. As a speaker, he has shown marked ability: and above all he is a true friend to all who know him. He talks little. but his good-natured smile and warm hand shake will long be remembered. Perhaps no other man of his class has been so diligent a worker and when he leaves the college halls this same enthusiasm will mark his career. He has selected teaching as his profession, and after graduating will attempt to train some of Xorth Carolina ' s sons and daughters in hard and tr -ing ways of learning. Dee Carricky B. A.

He has entered heartily into college life. and is one of our strongest and most popular men. . s an athlete, he has doubtless helped to win more victories for Old Gold and Black than any other member of his class. For three successive years, he figured prominently in winning the Intercollegi- ate State championship in Tennis: for two vears he has starred on the basket ball team : he has been indispensable on the track team: and his name is not inconspicuous in baseball and football. Xot only is he prominent in athletics, but he is distinctly identified with all the various interests of the college. He is tall, handsome, an excellent stu- dent, a forceful speaker, and above all a real gentle- man.

In stature, he is rather low; in brawn, mighty: in intellect, brilliant: in personality, commanding; in popularity, reverenced by all: in debate, invincible. At ever ' mass meeting or rally of any kind. Collins is called for. and no student commands more respect and better attention from a student body. His peculiar tone of voice, personality, flow of language, and wit give us a man not easily found. In appearance Fred is stem and philosophical. yet he is big hearted, and a friend to all. Like Andrew Jackson, he has the highest rt ' ganl and admiration for the fair sex. especially for one, Upon entering college, Bull ' s inclination pointed toward the legal profession, and had he followed that inclination only his fondness for Somnus would have kept him out of the L ' . S. Senate. However, he was seized with a call to the ministn,-, and without doubt he will some day be a mighty power in the pulpit. T, D. Collins, B. A.
