THE BATTALION.
We are glad to see our teachers
so interested in our work and so
willing to help us. We are also
glad to see the bojs show their
appreciation of the Faculty's in
terest in them by applying them
selves diligently to their studies
and other duties.

It is with pride that we watch
the improvements taking place on
the campus. The new Barracks
now going up will add greatly to
the appearance of the College
grounds and much to the comfort
o
of the boys. We are glad to see
work progressing fairly well and
hope it will soon be finished.
Also the professors’ dwellings and
the Bachelors’ Hall are quite an
improvement and help the looks
of our campus very much. We
are also glad to note that prepar
ations are being made to begin
Sunny South Lassies.
I will sing you a song of a wonderful
land,
Where the wheelwoman doesn’t exist.
Where the girl that you love is as
childish and bland
As the girl that your grandfather
kissed;
Where the bloomers don’t bloom, and
the skirts don’t divide,
And the maidens don’t box and make
bets—
Oh, the girls of the South, we assure
you with pride,
Don’t talk slang and smoke cigar
ettes.

work on the new Agricultural
building. We are certainly in debt
to the governor, the house of rep
resentatives and the senate of our
state for their liberal contribu
tions, and hope they will feel that
we (the Corps of Cadets) appre
ciate their kindness beyond meas
ure.

We heartily welcome the young
ladies that have entered our
school. Their presence certainly
makes the time pass much faster
and adds a vast amount of pleas
ure to our college days. We are
hearty supporters of co-educa-
tional institutes, for man derives
more good from the company of
one refined lady than from any
other source.
No worthier gift can man receive.
No grander vision can he see,
No greater joy can e’er he his
Than woman’s fair nobility.
Its Etymology.
“I wonder how Chautauqua got
its name,” observed Mrs. Snoggs.
“It comes very naturally from
the character of the place,” re
plied Snoggs
“How is that?”
“Well, there’s social conversa
tion there and lectures and a
lake.”
“Still I don’t see the connec
tion.”
“Don’t you? It’s a combina
tion of chat and talk and aqua.”
