NEW STUDENTS RECEPTION.
Given by Old Students Under Auspices of V. M: C. A.
A VERY ENJOYABLE OCCASION.
Mr. J. M. Daniel Delivered Address of Welcome - RefreshmentsServed —Speakers Respond to Toast Relating to College Life. The ' New Students ' Recep
tion," given by the old students of the college under the auspices ofthe Young Men's Christian Association, took place last Friday evening, September 20th, from 8:00 to 10:30 in the association hall and the Epworth Inn Dining Hall. About three hundred were present. The address of welcome was delivered by Mr. J. M. Daniel, of the Senior class, who spoke of the new scenes of the Freshmen and the impressions that have been made. He then spoke of the opportunities offered for making real character, and the great cry for men of true manhood. T h e speaker then spoke of why the Young Men's Christion Association had its beginning, saying that its mission is to train and cultivate men and equip them so they can do what Christ would have them do. He thenjspoke o f t h e different things the Association stands for, emphasizing tlie mental, physical and spiritual sides; or in other words, the organization strives to help every young man to obtain an all-round manhood. The speaker closed by saying that after the new men have finished their course in college they will be welcomed back into theis old communities where theyjwill have greater opportunities for work after receiving the training here.
After this feature of the occasion had been finished tbe lar^e number present were ushered into the banquet hall where re-, freshments were served and toasts responded to. Prof. A. H. Merritt, of the department of Greek, acted as toast-master. The first speaker introduced was Mr. Holland Holton of the last year's Senior class, who spoke in behalf of. the literary societies. H e began by giving a good joke, and telling the men that no woe would be there (in the societies) neither would the faculty be there. His speech throughout was highly enjoyable, and at the same time gave excellent reasons why the Freshmen should join one or the other of the two literary societies.
Tlie next speaker that respond, ed to a toast was Prof. John C. Wooten, of the department of Biblical Literature, who spoke on "Athletics." H e began by saying that the Physical Director had jus t told h im that Trinity has some fine available material for the coining athletic season. H e then mentioned athletics when he was a student lure , and bow that Tr in i ty had stood for pure ath

TRINITY -VAXDERBILT.
Second series of Three Debates Arranged—Time and Place for First Debate Not Yet Decided 011—Questien Selected. Preparations are being made
for the preliminary for the first ofI a second series of three debates with Vanderbilt, Nashville,Tenn., which, in all probability will come off some time in December. At the first regular meeting of| the Debate Council held last Friday afternoon, this debate was the principal topic discussed, and the chief work done was arrangements for the perlimiuary contest which will take place October 26. As soon as it has been ascertained who wish to participate in the contest, the Council will meet again and perfect the arrangements. It is believed tnat this debate will create equally as much interest as the two former ones, and that it will be of as high order. Th ' s will be the first of a new series of debatts with Vanderbilt, and the fact ihat Trinity won two of the first series should be a stimulus to all Trinity men interested in deb i t ing to work, that she may come out of this second series with honors also.
At this time it cannot be said exactly where the contest will take place. The first debate of the first series took place at Nashville, the second one being held here. The question of the place for this one, however, has r o t yet beeu settled, but will most likely be decided upon even before the preliminary takes place. T h e consensus of opinion of the Debate Council is that it will probably take place at Nashville again, as the first one did, but from what can be ascertained from that institution, Vanderbilt wisher for it to ocour here. Tr in-ty is almost certain now of having another debate here this year and it is for this reason that some prefer having it in Nashville. This happens to be the same reason that Vanderbilt gives for wanting the debate to take place in Durham, as Vanderbilt is to have a debate with tbe University of the South dur ing tbe year at Nashville. T h e question of time and place will be decided upon soon, and work will be begun on the question to be discussed which is, "Resolved. That the present distribution of power between Federal and State governments is not adapted to modem conditions and calls for re-adjust-ment in the direction of further centralization." Trinity will discuss the affirmative.

ATHLETIC OUTLOOK FOR YEAR
Second Largest Freshman Class Ever Examined.
PHYSICAL DIRECTOR WELL PLEASED.
A Great Deal of Out-of-Door Work Will be Done During Fall Interesting Data Concerning Freshmen. T h e athletic outlook for the
coming year at Tr in i ty is good. The Physical Director has just about completed his physical examinations and expresses himself pleased with the material on hand. I t is the second largest Freshman class that has ever been examined, and the indications are that the college can well be represented in sports other than base bail.
The plans for the fall are to da a great deal of out-of-door work. Iu a lew days the athletic grounds will be laid off, and interesting games of association, foot-bail and field hoekey will be begun. During the past years Trini ty College has been weak in athletic sports during the fall and winter, confining almost all the inter-collegiate games to base ball. There will also be organized a team of cross-country runners. But greater than meets with other colleges is the recreation offered bv these games.
Tennis has already been started. For some years past this port has heen well established,
and from the way it is being played now tbe association will have a large number of members.
A few interesting fiictscouceru-ng the Freshman class are given
below. Tht re are no extremely large men, but the heaviest one is Mr. C. O. Fisher of Kittrell,
ho weighs 161 pounds. The lightest man is Mr. W. R. Beli of Concord, whose avoidupoise is 81 T h e oldest man is 25 years; the youngest is 15 years. Messrs. C C. Hatley of Mooresville, and O. F. Taylor of Crutchfield have the greatest lung capacity in ccl-lege, both registering 375 cubic inches. Mr. Hatley is also the tallest man in his class, b^ing 6 feet; the lowest 4 ft 11.9 inches. Broadest shoulders, B. T. Hurley, Wadevilie, 17.3 inches; depth of chest (vital pewer) J. S. Folger, 8.2 inches. Mr. O. F. Taylor has the strongest grip or forearm, it being 187 pounds. It is also interesting to note that this man has the greatest gr p of any man ever examined at Trinity College. Mr. J. A. Royall, Jr. of Mt Olive, has the largest arm, it being (contracted) 13 inches. T h e largest instep is 10.5 inches; longest foot 11.3 inches.
Some interesting figures concerning the physical develop. ment of the Park School student will be given in the next issue of this paper. From what can be learned though, a large number of manly fellows will be able te represent the school in its athletic contests dur ing t i e year.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION. T h e best thing a man can do
when entering college, is to spend his time profitably. Of course he cannot spend his entire lime at study, for il lie does he is soon known as a grind. He must therefore in order to be an all-round man participate in the different phases of col ley e life Right now the different student organiz_i tions are open for membership, but a number of men are not availing t h e m e ves o f the advantages offered. The management of the college does not require the students to join the literary societies;, but they do all they can to encourage them, and really expect the young men to obtain all the development possible from su-h a sovme ju.si now a g 'eat deal of ' drumming*' is being done for both of the societies,, and a great many young men are at a loss to know which society to join, as there are great claims made by both of the societies. Tlie best thing for a new man to do is t" make r p his mind that he wi.l join the one most to Ins liking without further debate in his own mind. Both societies are good, but the one he joins he will forever fee! is a little better than the sister society,
College lifd means more to those students who line up with rhe majority o f the Loys in their various organizations, In fact tne students that do not join them are soon considered a little peculiar by the student body. The time for a young man to join is the first opportunity, as the longer he delays theharder i t becomes lor him to decide.

sher was one of the most popular students ever at Trinity College, H e was a model student and a noted athlete. Dur ing his entire college course he was pitcher on the base ball team, and there have been few college pitchers in all ' the country who excelled him.
Dining his college car probably had no superior on the diamond in the South, winning for himself the name of "King of the Southern Diamond." He was a.firm advocate of purity in athletics and exerted a wonderful influence in this direction. As au evidence of the high esteem in which he was lield a large ] ic-t u r e o f h i m has been placed in the library. He is now connected with the leaf deprn tmeut of the Ameiicon Tobacco Company representing that company Raleigh. T h e Chronicle extends its sincerest congratulations and good wishes.
On June 25th. Mr. Paul I of die Winston Journal, a former student at Trinity, was married to Miss Alice Charles Craft, A. B '06, at h'.r home in W: ton. Belore coming to col'ege Mr Lucas was on the staff of The Charlotte Observer and,during his stay at Trini ty was correspond ent of a number of papers. H e was much interested in the establishment of a weekly newspaper at Trinity and he had much to do with the movement that resulted finally in the establishment of the Chronicle. After leaving college he was ou the Charlotte Observer's staff until he went to Winston as editor of tlie Journal, He has been very successful in his work and is to be congratulated. But most of all he is t o b e congratulated ou winning such a charming woman as his wife. T o both of these Trinity students The Chronicle extends sincere congratulations and best wishes.
The Chronicle congratulates most heartily these Trinity Alumni and extends to them its best wishes, bidding them a lion voyage on the matrimonial seas.
A Hood V. 31. C. A. Meeting. A very helpful and instructive
meeting of the Yoting Men's Christian Association was held in their hall iu the Epworth Building Inst 'Wednesday evening, the principal reature of the occasion being an address by President J. C. Kilgo. A very large crowd of both new and old students and a large number of the faculty were present. Dr. Kilgo's subject was 'Why I am a Christian," out of
which he n r d e a most forceful discourse. His reasons for selecting such a subject he said were for the purpose of strengthening the faith of those who were Christians, and for creating in those who were not Christians a new faith. The meeting was a very impressive one. After the spcaki-r finished membership cards were passed around. The number giving their names for membership was about sixty.

Sneer]- Markham - Taylor Company,
Here's a Clean-cut Looking Fellow
THIS remark is often made concerning the young man wearing our
Handsome Suits. Tne young man of today demands
the very newest fashions—the very latest innovations. No stubby coats, no narrow lapels, no bag-hanging garments for him this season. We select certain lines of suits from tailoring houses that are specialists in young men's clothes—whose styles are patterned after what one sees on the college campus—dashingly daring, but not to the extreme.
815 or Si 8.6(1 or $20 or $25
But reserve your opinion until you have seen the suits.

The Cut of the Coat Tells the taste of the tailor. The garment that strikes your fancy
may not be the one that you should wear. In the mirror of the retail clothier you caiiuot see yourself as others see you. Is it safe to trust your appearance to the judgment of the ready-made salesman; biased by tlie necessity of fitting you to the clotliing rather than the clothing to you ? Individualitv aud character are subtly expressed in every garment I make. Years of experience in serv-ng the best dressers guarantee that clothing made by me is perfect
in ' s ty le and finish, and is of the color and cut best suited to the wearers' complexion.
