F. Flournoy and Three Others Make Trip STUDENTS UNION GUEST Hospitably Received By Students In All University Towns That Were Visited Professor F. F. Flournoy of the English department, this summer di- rected a tour through Europe, accom- panied by four men from Washington and Lee, Joe Rucker, Ed Miller, Fred Avrack, and Paul Mertins, and three men form other universities. This trip was taken under the auspices of the National Student Federation of Am- erica, to promote international under- stading and a closer aquaintance be- tween European and American stu- dent. While in Europe the group was the guest of the European Student unions, whose hospitality did much to make the trip enjoyable. The itinerary took in the great uni- versity towns of Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria.

They then went to Germany where they were the guests of the German Student unions. In all, seven weeks were spent in Germany and Austria, principally in the university towns of Hiedelberg, Jena, Berlin and Vienna. Five days were spent in Geneva, Switzerland, and a week in Paris. Everywhere the group was welcomed either by stu- dents or professors of the various universities, and many times by the mayors of the cities or their repres- entatives. Parties and entertainments were also given them by the cities or'thc student's.''‘‘'' 1, The president of the German Riech-V stadt stayed in-,B_e,rlin three. days after. the adjournment of the 'legislature' in. order to welcome the visiting ‘stu-‘ dents.

It will either consist of a tour through England, Spain, Morroco, and France, or Eng» land, the Rhineland, Switzerland, and France. _._;0__.__ Function of College - Is to Aid Students The function of a college, not as an educator of young men, but rather as an aid and opportunity for self-educa-{I tion,” was the theme of an address by Dr. George Barton Cutten, presi- dent of Colgate university, at convoc- ation exercises marking the begin- ning of the university’s 108th year. » “All education is self-education,” said Dr. Cutten. “No one can educate, you; you must educate yourself, if you are to be educated. If you come to college with thelidea -that here I am, educate me if ‘you can,‘ you are doomed to failure as"f'ar as‘ education" 1 is concerned. ‘No*pr‘ofessor, riol college“ con force education upon you. 2 “Hundreds of young‘ men are enter- ing college this year‘ who will iiéfuse to draw upon their‘ talents‘ land“ the‘ utmost the college’can3*do will not suffice to“ edu'c‘ate"“ theml3"?*‘On' “the other hand, hundreds'of’young men who are not privileged‘ to go to col- lege will, because of the constant,de- mand upon their powers, becomevelu-’_ cated. “Of course, the secret of education so far as concerns the part which the college can contribute is to inspire a love of learning.

Battle Intensive Training“ Program On In Full Swing No Line On Play- ers Given Yet Coach Davis has been sending his fresh candidates through stiff drills every afternoon for the past two‘ weeks, but yet he has not decided on any team. The men have been going‘ through fundamentals of the game such as falling on the ball, live tack- ling and blocking and passing the ball around. By the middle of next week coach Davis expects to have gotten enough line on the “Baby Blue and Whites” to formulate some idea as to the merits of the in- dividuals. Mike Palmer has been helping Coach Davis with the backfield can- didates until his time was. called on the varsity field to tutor the varsity backs. Assistant Coach Palmer states that the Little Generals have some very promising men, out and should have a representative eleven. With such men as coaches Davis and Palmer devoting their time to the Little Generals they should make rapid strides and be in readiness for the opening contest against the V. P. I. frosh on October 14, on Wil- son field. There are about fifty men coming out regularly, and coach Davis reports a number of prpmislng prospects.

Alumni Get 650 Seat Block The coming game with West Vir- ginia promises to be by far the most spectacular of the many contests be- tween the two universities. Tickets are at a premium, and it is expected that the stadium, never before filled, will in this game be packed to its ten thousand capacity. Graduate Manager Smith found it necessary to order another block of tickets, the first that were sent to him having been taken up in advance. In Charleston, many business houses formerly ordered large blocks of tickets to be distributed among their friends. This year, however, Dr. H. A. Stansbury of West Virginia university, who has charge of the dis- tribution of the pasteboards, has limited the number of tickets to go to firms and individuals. P The Washington and Lee alumni, formerly covered by an allotment of 500 tickets, have raised their require- ments at Charleston and Lexington to a total of 650. ‘This indicates that the claim of a great Blue and White team is not an idle one. The Wash- ington and Lee side of the field promises to be filled with the fol- lowers of the “Big Blue Team” this year. Twenty-five members of the team,; accompained by Coach “Pat” Herron and Captain “‘Dick” Smith, will leave Lexington Friday night for their West Virginia invasion. Coach Herron has, been running the team thorugh ardu- ous parctice this week, and has per- fected a number of new plays which will be shot against the “Mountain- eers” for the first time.

It is five years since a Blue and White team ‘fought West Virginia to a standstill in a 12 to 12 tie, and this year the W. & L. rooters and team are looking forward to a greater game with the “Big Blue team” on the long end of the score. The'Laidley stadium will be well supplied with music by the West Vir- band. Several -hundred Mountaineer students and fans are planning to make the trip to Charleston‘ to see the annual clash. In Lexington, the W. & L. students are scouring up cars and “lifts” to convey them to Charleston, and many are going by train. Enough rooters are availing themselves of the cut system to make the showing in the cheering section a large and clamor- ous one. Parties and dates after the game are being fast arranged so that the night after the game will hold plenty of enjoyment. Several dances will be given for the visitors and alumni of both schools, so all those who are desirous of making the best of their trip will find that the possibilities are numerous. {-0 First Informal To Be Held October 8 The first informal of the 1927-28 session will be given by the Cotillion club on Saturday evening, October 8, the night of the Duke-Washington and Lee game.

Work on Bridge Now Shows Results After Over onth’s Labor $10,000 To Be Raised By November If Work, Is To Continue To Completion electing Work on the Wilson Field bridge has now been underway a little more than a month and though the first stages are always the slowest, it is beginning to show results. From now on the construction will be faster and those in charge expect to have it com- pleted before January 1. The initiative taken by the Stu- dent Body last year has given the ‘memorial bridge a good start, but the success of its completion depends on the payment of the outstanding pled- ges. It is a Student Body project and Graduate Manager Smith urges that each and every undergraduate and faculty member feel a personal pride and realize his responsibility. The total cost of the bridge will be $31,000, and to continue with the work it is necessary to raise the re- quried $10,000 before November 1. The financial plan arranged makes this possible, and “Captain Dick” feels sure of its success if each individual will assume his share in the under- taking and make good his pledge of $10.00 immediately.

I ANNUAL BATTLE IS FOURTEENTH BETWEEN RIVALS Mountaineers Have Won Nine, Generals Three, and One Re- sulted In Tie CHARLESTON AGAIN SCENE Last Three Games Have Resulted In Shutout Victories For Moun taineer Grid Machines When the Generals lock horns with West Virgiina in Laidley stadium at Charleston Saturday it will mark the fourteenth meeting of these two uni- versities on the gridiron, their games covering a period of thirty-two years. Of the thirteen past encounters the Mountaineers have won nine, the Blue and White three, and one, that in 1922, resulted in a tie at 12 all. West Virginia has won the last three games by shut-out scores, 6-0, 21-0, and 18-0. The Old Dominion and the New Dominion eleven’s dashed for the first time in 1895, with the Moun- taineers winning by a 28-0 score at Charleston, which has been the scene of all of the Mountaineer nnd Generals combats. A lapse of two years occurred before the state capital witnessed another bat- tle between these rivals, and again West Virginia was returned the victor, this time by a 14-0 score. The universities did not meet again until 1902, when the Mountaineers were re- turned the winner for the third con- secutive time, and by a 17-5 count. For over a decade these natural rivals did not meet on the gridiron, and when the Generals did come to Charleston in 1913, they proceeded to turn the tables by winning a decisive 28-0 victory there by chalking up the largest margin, with the exception of the 1923 game, in the history of Washington and Lee-West Virginia football. The first taste of victory must have been sweet for the,Lixing- ton eleven proceeded to win the fol- lowing year, in the most bitterly fought game of the series by an 8-6 score. The season of 1915 saw the Generals recording their third con- secutive triumph at the expense of the Mountaineers. The elevens have met annually dur- ing the last seven years and in this time West Virginia has not list a game to Washington and Ice. Nine- teen hundred and twenty marked the resumption of the football rivalry be- tween the schools and the Mountain- eers were victorious in one of the closest of games which ended 14-10, mainly through the brilliant work of Joe Harrick, “Leaping Joe,” who suc- cessfully blocked a punt and recovere- single touchdown for a 6-0 score. In 1925, West Virginia won handily, 21-0, from a team that defeated the (Cont. on Page 4) — Foremost Officials To Work Saturday That the “Washington and Lee-W.

Cosgrave, who lives in New York City, is rated as one of the most capable officials in the game, and handles many of the big Eastern games during the season. W. S. Gooch, of Charlottesville, Va., will handle the umpire’s horn. Coach is a graduate of the University of Vir- ginia and is recogized as one of the best of Southern conference officials. D. B.

LSOYAL ALUMNI STUDENTS and alumni attending the annual Washington and Lee-West Virgiina game in Charleston are promised plenty of entertainment, according to word received here from several members of the local alumni association residing there. Chief among the attractions carded for Saturday night is the alumni dance, sponsored by the Charleston ‘chapter of the association, at which Coon Sanders and his justly famous Night Hawks will play. The members of the football squad will be the guests of honor at this affair, and it is promised that alumni from throughout that section of the state will be out in hordes t omake the evening one of the most enjoyable to be had by the Blue and White warriors at any city this season. ' Once again the Holley hotel will be W. and L. headquarters, and the hospitality of this establishment, only too well known to those who have journeyed over the mountains in previous years, will be at the disposal of the Generals and their followers. The alumni chapter at Charleston is keenly disappointed that it appears improbable at present that a special train will be run to the scene of the fracas, but that organization is hoping that hundreds of students will make the trip by regular train or auto- mobile regardless. Last year, although no special was run, there was a representative crowd of students on hand, and they, with the throngs of alumni, make up a sizable crowd that cheered the W. and L. gridders from start to finish, regardless of the trend of the game. Interest in the game has been late developing this year, but nevertheless present indications are that over a hundred students will be in the stands at Laidley Field at the kick—off. Let the students——all who are able—make the trip, and prove to the Big Blue and to the alumni who so ably provide for the undergraduates’ entertainment in the West Virginia city that they are fully appreciative of their efforts, and that they believe that, sinse the Mountaineers have abandoned the questionable shift ' VI,-Iarold Slanlccr, the THE RING-TUM PHI A .1 University Band Is To Be Larger The University band, from all in- dications, will be even larger than , ' last year’s organizations.

Practices are being held Thursday afternoons at 5 o’clock and Tuesday evenings at 7:15. Any one with any ability whatsoever is urged to come out at once, especially those who were in the band last year. Slanker em- phasized the fact that the organiza- tion wants upperclassmen as well as freshmen. Plans for the season are not yet abosolutcly definite but a trip to Blacksburg for the V. P. I. game is practically certain. The Athletic Association is seriously considering the possibility of sending the band to Washington for the Maryland game. As a large percentage of the Student Body expects to attend this clash on October 29, every effort will be made to send the band along. Slanker also announced that the uniforms have already been ordered and will arrive shortly. mom Under certain circumstances noth- ing is so tortuous as a Vivi dimagina— tion. Miss Rockwell Is Acting Librarian Miss Helen A. Rockwell will be university librarian in the absense of Miss Blanche P. McCrum, who has been granted a year’s leave to study in Boston university. Miss Rockwell was formerly cataloguer of the library. Miss Rockwell announces that this year there will be circulation of books from nine A. M. to 10:30 P. M., with overnight books also to be circulated, as was allowed two years ago. Mrs. Lawrence E. Watkin has been added tothe staff, and will have charge of the library of the School of Com- mcrce. Many new books have been ordered to meet the needs of the different university departments, especially for the newly organized classes in public speaking. Among the most interest- ing books newly received for general reading are the following: “Exile,” by Mary Johnston; “Death Comes to the Archbishop,” by Willa Cather; “Cir- cus Parade,” by Jim Tully; “The Rise of American Civilization”, by C. A. and M. R. Beard; and two anonymous books, “Miss Tiverton Goes Out,” and “This Day’s Madness.” _._0_.__ Most of us work all right after we get started, but we’re hard to start. —:O Even if we aren’t really happy it’s better all around to pretend that we are.

Professor Fletcher and his aides in the project are to be con- gratulated on the step, and the school realizes that it means much mare in the way of supervisory effort on the part of the directors than is entailed by the mere holding of gym classes. It was in an effort to give every man a chance to exercise his physical abilities along lines most pleasant to him that the system was installed, those in charge realizing that for the best results to accure a man must enjoy the activity as well as merely participate. n v NO DOGS ALLOWED ASHINGTON and Lee’s latest administration dictum, “No Dogs Allowed,” evidenced by the placards placed at strategic points on the campus, is welcomed heartily by the entire student body. For the past several years the presence of numerous hounds sporting in front of Washington College and Newcomb hall has become more and more of a nuisance, until the situation came to bebeyond the category of a joke, and the attempt to alleviate the obnoxious condition is a laudable one. * HAMRIC Opposite New Theatre JEWELERS COLLEGE JEWELRY & SMITH Lexington, Va.

Cigarette Lighter Ignites Pocket i, Of Commerce Student During Class’, 1 Students of Washington and Lee—— a beware of automatic cigarette light- ers! “You’re right hot!” nearby collegian. I ventured Such is the advice proffered by a student of the Commerce school after an experience he had Monday morn- ing in class. According to the gentleman concern- ed he dropped one of these guaran- teed-to—light-occasionally affairs into his pocket in his usual nochalant manner. Several moments later smoke was seen issuing from said student’s pocket. The student, however, doesn’t feel‘ so “hot” over the prospect of the new suit that must take the place of the one which was badly burned when the lighter ignited, and while not craving undue publicity personally, deemed it, his duty to make the affair public in‘ an honest effort to protect his fel-i low “Minks” and to enable them, if‘ possible, to guard against similar. oc- currences in their own pockets.‘ had cut to Otdet zsnausueo mcusu umvansmr srvuzs, TAILORED oven YOUTHFUL cmua-rs SOLELY ron msrmcunsm-:0 SERVICE in THE umrrzo STATES. hm :-‘.':~“" -"‘ " .. v ,’, :._ ago a. fiwlll. fifllfii I - 1 itemize Suits 3:40, $45, 550 over-coats You l’l/ill Be Served Tonight At Your Room an assortment of sandwiches, cold drinks and pies that will please both your palate and your purse. . . . .Student carriers will solicit the domitories, fraternity houses, and such rooming houses as request our service. . . . .each night between 9:00 and 12:00.
