SUNDAY SERMON
We have heard many compliments
on the sermon preached at Chapel
last Sunday.
Dr. J. L. Gross, of the First Baptist
church of Houston, a former speaker
last year, very powerfully brought out
the value of having “A Purpose in
Life.”
He stuck to his text throughout the
sermon, and brought out its relation
to almost every phase of college life.
It is to be hoped that we may fre
quently hear as good and as effective
a sertnon as the one of last Sunday.
The Anti-Swearing Club held its
regular meeting last Sunday evening.
The Club now has an enrolled mem
bership of seventy men. Thus it can
and will make its weight felt in the
corps.
The following constitution and by
laws were adopted:
We, the members of the Anti- Swear
ing Club recognizing the predominance
of profanity among the students of the
Texas A. & M. College have organ
ized for the following purposes:
First, to discourage all forms of pro
fanity.
(a) Taking the name of God in
vain.
(b) Telling smutty stories.
(c) Using any language that is un
becoming to a gentleman.
Second, to leave the above named
out of our lives.
Last 'Sunday’s Y. M. C. A. meeting
was well attended and several very
interesting talks were made. Mr. R.
R. Allen the president of the asso
ciation, touched upon some life about
which more ought to be said.
Dr. Bizzell also responded, in his
usual loyal manner, when called upon
for a few remarks. He reiterated his i
support of Christian work in A. and
M. and suggested that the custom of
holding Wednesday night prayer meet
ings be started.
The Y. M. C. A. enrollment for the
present session has not exceeed the
expectation of the men who have the
matter in charge. But he number of
paid up memberships is quite a bit
higher than it has been in foriper
years, which is very encouraging.
Dr. F. L. Jewett of Austin, will con
duct the Chapel services on Sunday,
Ocotber 19, 1914.

Trinity University, Oct. 12.—The
Trinitorian supplement was published
for the first time last week. The sup
plement is a small, four-page weekly.
Though it looks rather small to be
called a weekly edition of the Univer
sity, it is thought best to put out only
what we are sure we can maintain in
a financial way.
Trinity University, Oct. 12.—On last
Thursday morning about 3:30 o’clock
Chapman Lodge (co-operative hall for
men) burned. The ten-room structure
with all furniture and outbuildings
was a total loss. Twenty boys had
just moved out of the building five
days before to Beeson Hall.
Baylor, Oct. 15.—Since the College
and Academy of Baylor are separated
and men of the second are debarred
from all contests in the first, students
of the Academy are preparing to or
ganize a team to represent them on
the gridiron aganist high schools and
other academies. Mike Matthews, last
year a member of the Varsity, who is
thrown out of college activities be
cause of the new ruling, heads the
Academy team as captain.
University, Oct. 15.—Yale has her
bulldog, the army its mule, Texas her
long horn and now Baylor is to choose
a mascot for use on pennants, pillows,
and college paraphernalia generally,
and about which to wreathe the senti
ment of the school in poems, songs
and yells which enrich college life.
The Alumni of Baylor are at work on
the proposition along with a comit-
tee from the student body and these
will present the proposed emblems at.
a rally the night before Thanksgiving,
publicly exhibit them on that day and
then the students will choose their
emblem next day. As the oldest col
lege in the southwest and with a his
tory that antedates the state of Texas,
Baylor is rich in raditions and atmos
phere which should be crystalized
about a central emblem.
Baylor University, Oct, 15.—A straw
ballot this week on self-government
showed that ninety per cent of those
voting from the four college classes
favored the government in some form.
The “For” votes included 90 per cent
of the Senior votes, 89 per cent of the
Junior votes, 92 per cent of the Soph
omore votes and 87 per cent of the
Freshman votes. The “straw” shows
the direction of the wind and the prob-
student self-government within a few
weeks.
University of Texas, Oct. 12.—The
engineers of the University have ta
ken the lead in the buying of a bale
of cotton. The bale weighs 503
pounds and was bought at 10 cents.
Dean Taylor of the department headed
the list with a subscription of five
dollars.
University of Texas, Oct. 12.— A
movement has been started here this
year to cut out all forms of slang in
the college yells and songs. The yell
leaders have refused to lead yells con
taining slang and the editor of the
Texan has denounced such thru the
prerogative of his office.
University of Texas, Oct. 12.—Ow
ing to the fact that the railroads have
refused to give the student body a de
cent rate on the game at Dallas during
the fair it is presumed that very few
of the students will attend. Negotia
tions between the athletic authorities
and the railroads have failed to get a
similar rate which is given to Hous
ton.
University of Texas, Oct. 12.—A
weekly paper will be put out by the
students of the School of Journalism
in the University. All the work on
the paper will be done as laboratory
work in connection with the teaching
of the subject.

Haden as business manager of the
Architectural Year Book, was accept

his successor. T. R. Camp and A. R.
Hawkins were also named as assist
ants.
Resolutions of respect for the late
professor of architecture, Samson J.
Fountain, were adopted by the club.
BELL COUNTY CLUB REOR
GANIZED.
A. & M.’s last year’s club history
failed to find any record of a Bell
County Club, but this year there will
be a strong club from that county.
Last Saturday night a meeting was
callled and a Bell County Club was
organized and officers elected for the
coming session. The total member
ship was sixteen, which shows an in
crease in membership over the num
ber in 1912.
The members present were: L. P.
Jones, president; J. F. Nash, vice-
president; A. C. Casey, secretary and
treasurer; R. B. Gooch, reporter; J.
E. Brewster, Jr., J. S. Copeland, M.

ton, E. M. Sprodd, B. Moses.
I-K PLAYS ALLEN.
In a hotly contested game Saturday,
I-K defeated Allen Academy by a
score of 6-0. Although the day was
an exceedinly warm one, both sides
played hard football. The I-K team is
developing rapidldy and will undoubt
edly be a strong contender for the
championship in the Company League.
CLARENCE OUSLEY INJURED.

Bryan, Texas, October 12.—During
the past two days Colonel Clarence
Ousley, superintendent of the exten
sion department of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, and Dr. R. H.
Harrison, a physician, both sustained
fractures of their right arms while
cranking their automobiles. Both are
