Trinity University, January 17—
President Hornbeak after spending the
holidays at home recently left Chicago,
where he will attend the first annual
meeting of the Association of Amer
ican College President’s and the Coun
cil of the Church Board of Education.
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

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. Prof, (to shiftless one)—
“Much against my principles, I am
giving you a passing grade on this
paper. You have cut about all my
lectures, and are not deserving of
consideration except for the fact that
you have written a good paper.”
Shiftless One — “Well, Professor,
that ought to have been a perfect
paper, but I attended enough of your
lectures to ball me up considerably.”
