He will then resume his work in inter est of the endownment campaign, making a tour of the Eastern states. Last night the Sophomore class en tertained with an old time party, at the music building. The affair seems to have been a very enjoyable one for all who were present. Manager, L. S. Beck announces that he has secured, including prac tice games, 22 games of baseball, 12 of which are to be played at home and 10 away from home. T. C. U., January 19—Criticism of the administration of Fort Worth’s muniicipal affairs made by Dr. C. C. Gumm, head of the department of Eng lish at Texas Christian University, in an address before the city clubs last week precipitated a row here. The mayor of Fort Worth charged Holmes Bros.

If you want to sell your property at your own price, on your own terms, witout payment of commission, write European Mutual Colonization Co., Ltd., 633 Kress Bldg., Houston, Tex., for listing blanks and full informa tion. that the professor’s statement were unwarranted by facts and “came back” at him in a hot statement, calling him an “academic and sophomore apostle of municipal government.” The question as to whether Dr. Gumm, as an university professor, had a right to freedom of speech in public address was brought into the con troversy when the chairman of the executive board of trustees of the un iversity told the mayor that Dr. Gumm would be called before the board and questioned about his remarks. This statement aroused the fire of many instructors in Fort Worth who in public speech and letters the press defended the T. C. U. professor’s liberty of speech and praised his moral courage for saying what he belived. They said that a professor’s connect ion with a college should not have a muzzling effect on his utterances as a private citizen. In a series of inter^class basket ball games which closed last week, the Sophomores won the handsome trophy offered to the winning team. Recent estimates say that at least one-fourth of the male students of T. C. U. are earning all or part of their way through the miversity. They do all sorts of jobs m order to help stave off the high cost of getting an edu cation. C. I. A., January 18—The plans for a new demonstration cottage are be ing pushed forward. The building is to be completed by the first of the last quarter. The Seniors will then take charge and show what they can do in the housekeeping line. The demonstration work is a part of the requirements for graduation in the Household Arts course. The Domestic Science Seniors are devoting their energies this quarter to the serving of meals. At their for mal dinners they will have as their guests the business men and their wives of Denton. The Domestic Art Seniors will be guests at one dinner. C. E. MEETING. The C. E. society held its regular meeting last Thursday night in room 28, C. E. building. An interesting program was rendered at the meeting by Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Hurdle. Mr. Gillespie described in a very clear and interesting manner the filter beds that are in use by the city of Houston Mr. Hurdle took for his subject “Concrete Silo Construction” and gave a detailed description of the best silo construc tion, together with an account of his own experience in building a concrete silo. During the business session, the coming social which is given annually by the society for the corps was dis- cust. It was decided to place a committee of nine in charge of the en tertainment,, three members of the committee being chosen from each class. Mr. Thompson is preparing to plant a bed of flowers around the base of the “Y” building. TENNIS PROSPECTS. Under the auspices of the Athletic Association four tennis courts are be ing prepared on the hel l just west of the Y. M. C. A. building. It is expected that A. & M. will soon be on the tennis map of Texas, for Mr. Love plans courts over the entire campus’ vacant spots. Space in the athletic field has already been set aside for the purpose of building thereon the tournament courts as soon as funds are available. Dr. Bizzell is heartily in favor of this movement, by which the majority of the students may be persuaded to take part in the athletic activities of the college. It is to Dr. Bizzell that thanks are due for the financial ar rangements. Several of the professors who are expert players have volunteered to act as coaches, and there’s no reason why A. & M. cannot make a beginning in intercollegiate games this year. There may be some “champion” ma terial among the student body that practice will develop. As there are to only be four courts at first, the players will probably be limited to something like forty-eight in number. Regular periods will be assigned for playing, and as soon as things are working smoothly a tourna ment will be held. Then the winning forty-eight will be kept for the as signed periods on the association courts. Those who intend to compete should turn in their names either to O. S. Gray, 62 Mitchell, or P. B. Met calfe, 70 Legget, with a neat schedule of vacant periods during the after noons of the second term. O. S. G. CHAPEL SERVICES. Dr. D. W. Darnall of the First Chris tian Church of Sherman delivered the chapel sermon on last Sunday. He preached a strong sermon, mak ing good Dr. Bizzell’s prediction that none of the audience would attempt to sleep, as some tried to do before Dr. Darnall began his remarks. Dr. Darnall brought the divinity of Jesus Christ before his audience in a very vivid and forceful way. He also scored skepticism very heavily, and gave some excellent reasons why it should be scored. This is the second time that Dr. Darnall has been with us. He was present on the third Sunday in Jan uary of last year also, and we certain ly wish that he may come again. Dr. Kirschner of Fort Worth will conduct the chapel services on Sun day, January 24. IT WERE EVER THUS. Chem.
