LINCOLN WAS HONORED,

One Hundredth Anniversary of His Birth Celebrated.

PROFESSORS FEW AND BOYD SPOKE.

Centenary of Great American's Birth Fittingly Commemorated Here Last Friday Evening With Interesting Addresses — Large Crowd Was Present—Part of Addresses. It was eminently fitting and

proper that the centenary o f the birth of Abraham Lincoln should be celebrated in this community last Friday evening. The occas­ion was being observed through­out the country generally, but at no place could the commemora­tive exercises have been more in­teresting and more thoroughly en­joyed than those held at this col­lege under the auspices of the Trinity College Historical Socie­ty. The meeting took place in the hall of the Voting Men's Christian Association, in Epworth Building, and was attended by a large crowd of students, members of the faculty and others in the community.

Dean William P. Few, of the department of English, delivered an address on "Lincoln 's Person­ality and Style." Dr. William K. Boyd, of the department of History, and president of the His­torical Society, spoke on "Lin­coln's Relation to Southern Prob­lems." Both addresses were full of interest, and they were listened to with no little profit by those present.

In part Dean Few said: "On this centenary of his birth we do honor to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, not so much for what he did, of vast significance though that was to the future of his country; but we honor h im most for what he was, for those fine traits of character that made him the 'first American. ' A fine character like Lincoln's is not so adequately preserved in the his­tory of his achievements or in his influence upon our institutions as it is preserved in his sayings, his messages and his speeches, the best of which have embalmed and treasured up the life blood of this master spirit. Lincoln's sayings, homely and shrewdly just as they are, bave perhaps for America at least, more interest and value than the familiar talk of any other man of the English race, with the possible exception of Dr. Johnson as reported by Bos-well. Lincoln 's little master­pieces, the Gettysburg address and the second inaugural, are, among the most perfect, I will not venture to say the greatest, of all the speeches in the English lan­guage. The re is a critical dictum t» the effect tha t prose is never finished. And as a matter of| fict, there is hardly any prose that has that quality of being ultimate and inevitable, which is of the very essence of perfect poetry. But the Gettysburg ad­

dress has for a long t ime seemed to me to be as finished and inevi­table as Whi tman 's O Captain! My Captain! or Keat's Ode on a Grecian Urn. In addition to its beauty and perfection of form it also has the sustained emotional power of the very greatest poetry. This piece of prose fulfills com­pletely Milton's famous definition of poetry, it is simple, sensuous, passionate. 'There are many pur­ple patches' in Lincoln's other writings that show the same beau­ty of form, the same directness and concentration, and that are pitched in the same emotional key.

" In a general way, it may be said that Lincoln's fitness to be a

reat writer lay in the fact that he was a great man. 'The style is the man', aud it. is therefore probably true, as Edward Fitz­gerald says in one of his letters, that 'all who have the best to tell, have also naturally the best way j of telling i t ' And this aside from the question whether lan­guage conditions thought or thought determines language.

But in several ways Lincoln had had special preparation that will he lp us to understand his great success as a master of Eng­lish prose style. In the first place, he had an artistic tempera­ment that give him a keen relish for the joys of mere living and also a keen sense of the tragedy of life, that was susceptible to delicate effects of light and shade and responded swiftly to the ap­peal of humor or of p a t h o s . . . . .

A deep distress had hu­manized his soul and effected a complete purgation of his pas­sions. His experience was his richest asset of wisdom. All this experience, self-oblivion, suffering and human sympathy are crystal-ized in the Gettysburg speech and without these it could never have been made. H e must first have drank the cup of life to the

dregs

"Lincoln 's best training for writ ing and speaking was got in the school of experience. Life after all is the best preparation for writing. The man who lives his life keenly is most apt to have the ability to make his words winged with vividness and con­vincing power. This gift is part­ly a mat ter of temperament, but it results too from living one's life intensely, from throwing one­self into one's life, from taking a keen, sharp, intense interest in everything that lies about o n e . . . . Lincoln did not write from lit­erary impulses, though he did use literary skill; bu t his ar t was made to serve the great causes of, men. It was incidental to his lite and therefore has the appear­ance of being accidental. His style at its best becomes simple, ultimate, and inevitable; and for its classical and abiding qualities some of his writings take rank with the best prose ot all time.

"The best there was in Lin­coln was aroused by great occas­ions. Few human beings are

THE SEASON'S SCHEDULE

A List of All the Games That Will be Played During the Spring.

EIGHT GAMES ON ANNUAL TRIP SOUTH

With Twenty-Five Games Already Closed, and Some Others Pending, the Schedule is a Good One— Amherst and Lafayette Early. With twenty-five games al­

ready scheduled, seventeen of which will be played on the home grounds the baseball schedule for the coming season is a good one, and shows that local fans will have something to look forward to in the popular game. Eight games will be played on the an­nual tour, which will be a South­ern trip as it was last year. Be­sides the games already scheduled there will likely be plaved here and at other near-by points some games with city teams, as was done last season, though this has not been definitely decided upon yet.

The season opens here with a game with Trinity Park School. Amherst , however, which won for herself last year a most enviable reputation, comes March 26th and 27th, making the first real games of the season, and Lafay­ette, who has fought Tr in i ty many hard battles, will meet the locals three times in succession on the locals' ground. These will be some of the biggest games to be played here with Northern teams; while Mercer, from the South, will meet with the Metho­dists here near the last of April and pull off two fast and steady games. Tr in i ty will also play Mercer two games on the annual tr ip South.

The following is a list o f t he games as scheduled by Manager Suiter, and today given out by Assistant Manager Mcintosh, af­ter the games had all been passed ou by the Athlet ic Council:

Professor William H . Glasson o f t h e department of Economics is one of a committee of nin< which has recently been appointed by the president o f t he American Economic Association to prepare a plan for the re-organization of the publications of that Associa­tion. This committee is under the chairmanship of Professor Kinley of the University of Illi­nois. T h e other members are Professors Gardner of Brown Uni­versity, Hollander of J o h n s Hop­kins, Fetter of Cornell, Robinson of the University of Minnesota, Crook of Amhers t College, Ham­mond of Ohio State University, and Meeker of Princeton.

At the meet ing of the Ameri­can Economic Association at At­lantic City during the Christmas holidays, the question of the fu­ture policy in the conduct of the publicati'ons of the Association was the most important one dis­cussed in the business session. There was a s t rong bentiment for the consolidation of the Quarterly Publication of the Association with the Economic Bulletin, and the establishment of an American Economic Journal which would have a national importance and prestige similar to that of the British Economic Journal . After an extended debate, the Associa­tion voted to refer the whole mat­ter to a committee of nine which should investigate the question during the coming year and pre­pare a report to be submitted to the next annual meeting o f the Association in N e w York. In compliance with this resolution, Professor Patten of the Univer­sity of Pennsylvania, the president of the Association during the past year, has just announced the above committee on the re-organ­ization of the publications.

Local Team Found Little Trouble in Piling Larger Score In First Game.

SLOW BUT RATHER INTERESTING GAME

One of the Cleanest Contests of the Season—Large Crowd P r e s e n t -Final Score Was 22 to 8 - O t h e r Games Nay be played. In the first of a series of games

between Davidson and Trinity last Thursday evening, Trini ty won from the former college iu basketball by the score of 22 to 8. I t was a very slow contest, though not without some features of in­terest for the unusually large crowd of spectators present. I t was expected, however, tiiat both teams would play better ball than they did. Trinity clearly out­classed tlie visitors, though the passing of the ball by Davidson was the leading feature of the game. Armfield and Baxter, for the home team, did splendid work, while Fairly and McClintock, for the Presbyterians, played fast In the second half Trinity played faster and better ball, allowing the visitors only two points and scoring for herself ten.

T h e line up was as follows: Trini ty Position Davidson

xter r f. Miles Stewart 1. f. McR?e Armfield c. Price Hedrick r. g. McClintock Kiker 1, g. Fairley

Referee, W. W. Card; umpire, Rhea; scorer, Claude West; time­keeper, Houston.

The fairness with which the game was played by both teams was one of the chief features of the contest. I t was the cleanest game played here in some time. It is likely that the teams will meet for other games sometime dur ing the season, and it i 3 to be hoped that they will. Davidson has a fast team, and the game Thursday night hardly did it j u s ­tice.

Th i s was the second game played by the Presbyterians on their eastern tour, the first being with Wake Forest on the 10th of the month . The team met Char­lotte Friday night.

DEBATES. The price of a winning debate

team is a price which is hard to pay; but the students here have it in their power to say whether they will have to represent them this year a team that is a win­ning one. There is no lack of material from which to draw good material, and in whicli ther can be found a team of speakers who will reflect honor on them­selves and credit on the institu­tion which they represent. There ii always, however, one chief dif­ficulty in the way of bringing out such a team, and that lies in the fact that there is too little in­ducement for candidates to offer themselves for the contest.

We are glad to know that as many men as there are have in­dicated their intention to enter the preliminary contest which conies off in a few days, and we have good reasons to believe that those who have entered, however small the number may be, will do their best, not only to make the team, but to make whatever con­tribution they are capable iu win­n ing for Trinity a victory iu the spring. There is much of sacri­fice aud grinding work involved in an activity of this kind, and iu a community of this sort, where little emphasis, comparatively speaking, is placed on it, it is dis-

couraeingly difficult for a man t o i " tf™*1"'- ' "-"" J" " ' " " a a j . ested, 111 order to arrange dates pay the necessary price. . . c J r whicli shall interfere the least with

To be Held at the Alask Yukon-Pacific Exposition During the Coining Summer —Calls Made to Collegiate Athletes to Enter Meets. Committees in charge of colleg

iate athletics at the Yukon-Pacil' fc-Exposition wish to hear from college athletes who may possi­bly enter the meets. The Exposi­tion opens in Seattle, Washing­t o n , on J u n e 1st aud closes on October 16th. T h e main exhibit buildings are now finished; the several state buildings, the grounds aud concessions on the

Pay Streak" will be ready in every detail on the opening day. Alaska, Yukon Territory, the Oriental countries and the various tates will have \exy novel at­

tractive exhibits.

The athletic contests already arranged include a variety o! special events, such as army, navy, militia, the Y. M. C. A. ports, Marathon race, equestrian vents, tennis, 8-oared, 4-oared

and single-scuil rowing, swuning, canoeing, lumbermen's sports and tugs-of-war.

The railroads have already an­nounced extremely low rates to Seattle, giving a choice of routes both going aud returning. Spec-

1 rates will prevail from Seattle to Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands aud the Orient. The cool, brac-

nier climate and the pure mountain water of the Puget Sound region are considered very favorable lor training. Viewed

all standpoints the coming ler offers the best opportuni­

ty that will be available for many-years for athletes to see the Paci­fic coast aud Alaska and at the same time to enjoy competion

ider the most favorable condi­tions.

A national meet opt,n only to college men will be scheduled early in the summer at a time most convenient for a majority of the competitors. T h e committees

charge desire to hear as soon possible from all those inter-

erably to the honor of winning place for one's college in a n?. tional meet.

T h e standard track and field events, relay races and cross­country runs will taka place at the meet. In connection with it

sufficiently energized. In the •case of most of us our spirits are dull as night; wc live at a poor •dying rate. Beset as we are by human limitations, what we need most of all is to be freed, aroused, and expanded. In moments of heightened activity the spirit of a great man is fired to an inordi­nate energy and is inspired with a power not ordinarily at his command. Such a man was Lin­coln at Gettysburg. Nature and a r t had done everything for'hiuf. H e had on the whole annour. He was endowed by nature with rare gifts, he had had years of self-schooling. He was under the inspiration of a momentous oc­casion. He made a brief speech that broke the heart of a nation.

" T h e qualities that enabled Lincoln to make this speech— fineness of character, intimate sympathy with all manner of men, long familiarity with suffering, invincible rectitude, unerring wis­dom, an eager desire to devote himself to the relief of man's es­tate—the same qualities made it possible for Edwin M. - Stanton, without undue exaggeration, to say ol his martyred chief as he lay in death: 'There lies the most perfect ruler of men the world has ever seen- ' "

Dr. Boyd spoke of the prob­lems that confronted Lincoln, and his relation to problems of the South especially. Fart of his ad­dress follows:

"On March 4, 1S61, the nation found its captain. The inaugural address of Lincoln is one of the immortal state papers. It wa. written in a small room over a brick store in Springfield with no guides but the constitution, Jack­son's Proclamation against Nulli­fication , Webster's Reply to Hayne, and Henry Clay's Speech on the Compromise of 1850, The writer skillfully blended a conser­vative attitude toward slavery, a radical view of secession, and an appeal to the love of the union. The opening paragraphs opposed the extension of slavery, but promised its protection to the slave states. Then abruptly tu ing to the nature o f the occask he made an interpretation of the union which undoubtedly would have been rejected by a majority of the people in the free states. The union, he said, is perpetual; it is older than the constitution and the states, being formed by the association of the Continental Congress in 3774. Therefon state can lawfully get out of the

union ' 'The perspective of passing'

years discloses that in opposing the secessionists and emancipat­ing the slave Lincoln worked for the benefit of the South as well as the nation. But the cause of his immediate appreciation of the South, is found in the third and last great southern question he hoped to solve—the restoration of the seceding states to normal conditions within the union. Pri­marily a problem of peace, it con­fronted Lincoln during the first year of his administration and his last days, which to many Would have been days of rejoicing and tr iumph, were full of foreboding on account of it. Had he been able to carry out his plans or had they fallen to more capable states­manlike hands after him, that

humiliation of the South which call reconstruction, would

/er have occurred."

Civic Celebration. For a number of years it has

beeu a custom at this college to hold a civic celebration on the 22d of February which is obser­ved here as a legal holiday. It is the intention that the occasion hall be cf service in cultivating

better citizenship and more patriotic ideas of government. The exercises are always held under the auspices of the ' 9019",

.patriotic society of the college. In addition to exercises approp­riate to the celebration of Wash-ngton's birthday, it is the custom

to have an address by an invited peaker. T h e committee on ar­

rangements invited Mr. James II. Southgate, of Durham, president of the Board of Trus­tees of this college, to deliver the address this year. The entire •community is glad to kno-v that Mr. Southgate has accepted the

vitation, and a hearty welcome will be given him next Monday evening. T h e occasion promises to be a very interesting and pro­fitable one.

.t "eight o'clock in Craven Memorial Hall next Monday evening the address will take place. The public generally is nvited.

Dec i s ive C o n t e s t Wi l l be P l a y ed B e t w e e n T r i n i t y a n d W a k e F o r e s t H e r e N e x t F r d a y N i g h t — H a r d F o u g h t G a m e i s E x p e c t e d — O t h e r G a m e s .

Next Friday night will be an interesting time here, when the decisive game between the Metho­dists and Baptists in basketball will be played in Angier Duke Gymnasium at 8:15, further a n nouncement of which contest will be made later. This game was previously arranged for last Sat­urday night, but for various rea­sons it was postponed until next Friday. The fact that each team has one game to itscredit warrants the belief that the game Friday night will be a hard one and bit­terly fought, and there is reason to believe that it will be watched by a large crowd. It will be the State championship game.

Manager Mcintosh has arrang­ed a game with William and Mary, which college claims the right to the championship of Vir­ginia, for next Tuesdaj night. February 23d. This is a strong team and the game promises to be a most exciting one. Several other games will be arranged for this and other places before tht season is over.
