53RD SESSION OF COLLEGE
LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN ATTENDANCE AT CHAPEL EX-
ERC1SES FIRST DAY
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN Flag Railed by Senior*.—Pastors Pres
ent.—Address of Welcome by President Few.—Over Four Hundred
Were Enrolled First Two Day*.
The opening exercises of the fifty-third session of the College revealed an attendance far in advance of the most sanguine expectations of those who have been carrying on the campaign for new students during the summer that has just passed. While no official announcement lias been made in regard to the number that have entered the h'reshmau class, it was plain to a careful observer that almost two hundred new men were in attendance.
Eight o'clock is considered an early hour for college students to rise, but Wednesday morning a new spirit seemed to be stirring on the campus and the majority of the newly arrived students were up and about an hour before the time for breakfast. As soon as the morning meal had been finished large crowds of men could be seen gathering around the steps in front of Craven Memorial Hall , and the hual stroke of the new bell, at 8 :45, practically every man who was on the campus to enter college was in the vicinity of the hall. The members of the Senior class
were congregated about the foot of the flagpole, from which was to float soon the banner of the class of 1912.
Promptly at the stroke of nine, th« new flag was seen rising above the beads of the members of the Senior class pressing close around the base of the staff on which their flag was to hang. With uncovered heads the assembled crowd watched the square of bunting until Mr. F . S. Bennett, president of the class, had drawn it to the top of the pole, and made it fast there; then the boys gave with lusty vigor the yell of the class:
"llickety, hiekety, h i ! h i ! Ifackety, haekety, m i ! m i ! T-r-i-n-i-t-y — twelve — twelve
twelve!"
This ceremony, one that has been carried out every fall at Trinity College, within the memory of the present generation of students, completed, the students and visitors poured into the Memorial Hall. The number was so large that it almost filled the big auditorium, whicli has a seating capacity of over twelve hundred. After an opening hymn was sung by all present, President Few introduced Rev. J . 1). Kimdy, of Elizabeth City, who conducted the devotional exercises, consisting of the reading of a passage from the Bible and a short prayer.
Dr. Few then presented to the audience, three of the pastors of ihe city who were present, Rev. M. Bradshaw, Rev. E. R. Leyburn, and Rev. R. C. Craven, all of whom made short talks welcoming the students and inviting them to attend the churches of the city. After calling attention of those present to the return of Dr. W. H . Glasson, of the Chair of Political
Economy, and expressing the pleasure of the college community at having Dr. Glasson back in his old place again, Dr, Few spoke of the new members of the faculty, Judge Crawford Biggs who will bold a professorship in the Law Department, and Dr. F . N . Parker, professor of Biblical Literature. H e said the college was pe culiarly gratified to present to its students two such men a and considered itself fortunate to have them among its teachers. Professor VV. W. Peele, the new headmaster of Trinity Park School, was then introduced. He made a short announcement for the benefit of the Park school students present.
After his official announcement, Dr. Few proceeded to make a short address to the students, welcoming them back, and giving some sound advice for their guidance during the year. He spoke in, substance as follows:
I welcome to this place returning students and those who enter now upon a new chapter in their lives. I hope that this year may be filled with success and happi ness for you all.
We have been busy all summer with preparations for the opening, but still some of the buildings and the improvements are incompleted.
When so much has been done, I know that you will be patient with what is not done. I bespeak the earnest and active co-operation of every man among you iu an, effort to take care of all this property. Lei's at once make that a par t of the Trinity ideal. From all thoughtful and sincere men among you, and especially from those who live in the new dormitory, I should be glad to have suggestions as to the ways in which the next dormitory may be improved, and at any time I am glad to get suggestions from men who are interested in the welfare of the community.
We are doing our level best to make and keep this in every way a wholesome place for men to live anil grow, wholesome morally, intellectually, physically. The buildings are erected with a view lo encouraging economy. We want comfort and health, but complete freedom from luxury and idleness. Take care of yonr father's money and your own time and character. And while here be a student, a docile child of knowledge. Become familiar with the every experience of the, race in order that you may live wisely your own- human life. Vou have but one chance at it. Use i t !
The remainder of the morning, after the conclusion of the chapel •exercises, was taken up by the matriculation of the members of the three upper classes and the appearance of the new men before the committee on admission for classification.
Professor Flowers Will Take Rest
Monday afternoon Professor R. L. Flowers of the Department of Mathematics left for G l e n n Springs S. C , where he will spend some time resting up after his summer's work. Professor Flowers has been on the campus directing the work in the office all summer and his belated vacation is a needed one.
Y.M.G.A. INAUGURATES YEAR
FIRST MEETING OF SESSION HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN
EPWORTH BUILDING
TALKS BY MEMBERS OF FACULTY Prospects for a Good Year.—Bright Co
operation of College Administration in Work Promised.-Planii for a
Students' Reception Completed.
The first • meeting of the year of the Young Men's- Christian Association was held Sunday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. hall in the east wing of the Epworth building. The meeting was a most enthusiastic one indeed, and was attended by a large number of new men as well as the usual percentage of old men. The exercises beginning with a song and a prayer, were conducted by Mr. E. J . Harbison, president of the college branch of the Y. M. -C. A
In a few well chosen words, Mr. Harbison welcomed all the new men to the meeting, and made a very enthusiastic talk in the interest of securing members.
President W. P . Few was then introduced and spoke for a few minutes on the necessity of Y. M. C. A. work. H e said that the col-
;e had been planning great .ngs for the Y. M 0 . A. here,
and that he hoped and had every reason to believe that the plans would materialize within the very near future. I t was generally understood by his hearers that Dr. Few had reference to the new hall for the association which "-ill • »• provided in the new administrative building now Hearing completion.
Dean W. I. Cranford began his remarks by saying that he wanted
more and more in Trinity College the quality of self government. "Every man knows," he said, "and judges for himself that the sanest and wisest thing for him to do during his stay here is to ally himself with the cause of righteousness in the form of t he Young Men's Christian Association, The best thing he can do during his four years of college life is to stand firm on the faith with which
left his Christian home. Allow no influence in college, or anywhere else to swerve you from the conviction to stand for what you think is right." Dr. Cranford's remarks were to the point and im-
all with the importance of Y. M C. A. work.
The talk of Dr. Franklin X. Parker, the new professor of Biblical literature, was his first appearance before a meeting of the association, and his words were listened to with the greatest interest by all the men who heard him. H e said that there was a great opportunity in Trinity College for the making of manhood. "There are millions in this world," he said "who would give worlds to be where you are, there are millions in perdition who would give ten thousand worlds to sit where you sit, and to have the same opportun-tunity that you have." Dr. Parker spoke in convincing terms, and made a strong impression upon the minds of his hearers. H e is that kind of a man who, among col
umn, is called a "deep man," and he is destined to fill a most important place in the Christian life of Trinity College.

STUDENT LIFE
Committee Meets and Takes Act General Matters.
a\t four o'clock Tuesday noon the student life committee of the college met in Ihe Philosophy room wilh representatives from most of the organizations in college present. The principal topics for discussion were the practicability of taking a census of the students in regard to the number of hours spent in the preparation of class room work, the problem of increasing the interest in the work of the-literary societies, and the mathH"kii cheating on examinations.
I t was brought out that by ascertaining the number of hours the average student puts into preparing his lessons for recitation, it would be possible for each professor to regulate his work in more harmony with that of other-departments, a'nd so bring up the general average of study.
I n regard to the debating and literary society interests, a committee was appointed to draw up a memorial to he presented tn the Debate Council expressing the opinion' thai il would be better for this college to secure some debating contests with colleges from the sorrounding territory. I t was also
wn that the new society balls, when completed would add largely to the zest wilh which students enter into the literary work.
The Student Life Committee is a body organized last year. I t is
composed of three members of the faculty, Professors Rrooks, Cranford and Wilson, and representatives from every organization on the campus that has any social features at all. The literary societies, IIK clubs and fraternities, and the classes send men. to the meetings of the committee lo speak their view point on whatever may arise concerning ihe betterment of conditions in the college community. While organized only last year, I his committee already has a large number of beneficial actions to its credit and its field of usefulness is growing as it becomes older. Being the-meeting ground, as it were, of students and faculty, it settles difficulties before they arise and saves i rouble in many cases.
was made at tbe meeting Sunday afternoon, but i t is supposed that
room-to-room canvass will be made within the next few days. Judging from the large number of students in attendance at that meeting, it would seem that the members of the Young Men's (Christian Association will be increased this year as never before.
Several committees have been at work for the past week making arrangements for Ihe reception to be given the new men on Fr iday evening. Everything has been pre-
)d to give every man as good a time as he ever had and the college community is looking Forward with a good deal of pleasure to the occasion. Tin' reception will be held in the Angier Duke Gynvna' 'uni from the hours of 8:30 lo 11 :30. Cards for admittance mav be secured by those who have no! already received theirs from the committee in the f a u l t y building of thi' academic building Thursday morning
LITERARY SOCIETIES BEGUN
; WELCOME ADDRESSES TO NEW MEN MADE AND ENTHUSIASTIC
CANVASS INAUGURATED
HESPERIANS AND COLUMBIANS Old Men and Active Members Join in
Inviting Freshmen to Allay Themselves with Debating and Ora
torical Interests of College.
Saturday night presented some exciting scenes for the new men at 'Trinity College. I t was the occasion of the first meeting of the two literary societies and the advocates of each organization were exceedingly zealous in tlieir efforts to corral men into the halls of their respective societies. The societies are somewhat handicapped this j a i r (in sheir canvass (tor new members on account of the fact that l hey have no regular places of meeting ready for occupancy, the halls which once sheltered them having been destroyed in the lire of last January . But they can show great promise for the future, for the IH iv balls, to be located in the new Administration building that is being constructed, will be the equals, if not ihe superiors, of any sociely halls in the South. They are to be in the two end sections ol' the building, and will be (quipped with galleries for the convenience of visitors, and also several committee rooms for the use of members iu transacting business.
At 7:30 the elans began, to gather, the ( olumbiaiis in Craven Memorial Hall, and the Hesperians in the Y. M. C. A. Hall.
In Hesperian hall the meeting was well attended by the old members and new men alike, there being fifty or more new men and about the same number of members. The visitors were welcomed hy the president, Mr. W. G. Shep
pard, in a striking speech, and the following men made talks: Mr. H . G. Hedrick on the subject, " T h e College Man's Relation to the Lit-trary .Societies;" Mr. J . N . Aiken on "What Hesperia Undertakes to do for Her .Members;" Mr. C. O. Fisher on "What the Society Has Mean I to an Individual;" Mr. Holland Holton on "Hesperia's Record."
After a cordial invitation had been extended to the visitors to re-i urn next Saturday they were asked to retire and the society proceeded to regular business. A good many important matters were brought up and discussed at sonic, length, and ihe meeting adjourned in meet next lime in the large lec-lurcball in ihe Academic building, where the .society will meet until ih; new quarters are ready.
In the Columbian Society, Mr. R. G. Cherry, the president, made the aihlnss (if welcome and Ihen called upon several of the old men and also the active members who sociely l lu ie , ' s .a l l rehtn w re esepecially interested in society work t,. make shor| talks, felling the visitors of ihe record of Columbia. The first shake r on the Columbia program was Pro-fesesor II. E. Spence, of the English department of the college, who made au enviable record during the time lie was in college in the work of the societies. Messrs.

"Sunset and evening bell, And after that the dark"
I II East Dormitory.
From the rising up of the sun unto the going down of Ihe same it is hot on Trinity campus—and elsewhere.
"There have been tears and aching hearts for thee," O freshman, Forget them not in the pleasures of the first week in college.
If walking in the road were forbidden the students as is walking on the grass an impetus might be given to the aeroplane industry.
There was a sound of revelry by night—and the people of Durham knew that the students of Trinity College bud returned to the city.
From the number of gentlemen displaying their wares tbe first few nights of the year the freshman comes to think his room is a veritable house of representatives.
"Last noon held them full of lusty life,
Last eve in beauty's circle, proudly gay,
The midnight brought the signal sound of strife,
The morn"—
But hazing has long been banished from Trini ty College. No freshman should fear to complete tbe stanza.
There are men on Trinity campus who have never joined a literary society. There are men on the campus who have never allied themselves with any organization, good or bad, and who live a life to themselves without the responsibilities thai: membership in clubs brings. The words of such men lend, whenever heard, to discours e incii from joining literary societies.
It is not the intention of the
Ciuonicle to read these men a lect u r e ; the matter of. joining a society is purely optional and no power should be set that would make it compulsory. Neither doe; tile i 'hronicle desire to set itself up as an adviser par excellence, to the members of tbe Freshman class. h is the purpose of this paper, however, to express the opinion llial the advice of any man who would prevent a new student from joining a literary society should pass for nothing, and that any slighting remarks made upon the work of the societies should be regarded as reflecting ou the man who makes them, rather than on the object at which they were directed.
The literary societies are not perfect. But they stand for something in college and give a person practice in an art that once flourished on Southern soil,;,,but has long since begun to pass away, .Every college man should become a'member of the literary societies. I t should be as much a matter of duty as joining the Y. i l . C. A. The halls of the organizations ought to be over-run Saturday night.
A college is a place of changing iterations. Within the course of
four years a complete alteration takes place in the personnel of the students who make up the population of a college community. Yet in some indefinable manner then-are always forms and customs that remain despite the passing classes and.tradit ions that are recognizable everywhere as characteristic of various colleges. Trinity is a comparatively new college, but it
old enough to possess such traditions, some of them possibly relics of the days when the college was located at the old spot in Randolph County, back in the days before 1892. To the Trinity man
;e heritages from former generations of college men are exceedingly dear. They form the center of the love entertained for the college by its students. They constitute the real college spirit. Without feeling their weight no ont can truly be called a son of Trin-
ity-As a new class comes in to take
their places in the college community, the leaven of these traditions begins again to do its work upon their minds, affecting them in a way known only to those who experience it. I t were well for those who are just entering upon their college course to heed carefully the several little things that differentiate this college from others. There may be, in other col-
ia forms of almost identically same nature, but in certain
small particulars ours are different and these differences, tho they may seem insignificant to-day will be fondly remembered in tbe future as characteristics of Trinity. Such occurrences as the raising of the flag by the senior class on the opening day of each college year, the annual Y. ,M. C. A. reception and the custom of raising one's hat when passing a professor while they may have almost their exact counterpart in other institutions still are marked by their own pe-ciiliarilies which make them especially dear to Trinity men. Such things form the life of a college thai i- lived over in after years.
