THE SCROLL. 191have a flourishing chapter of sixteen, nine old brothers and seven new. Asthe result of a most fortunate rushing campaign, we have the privilege ofintroducing the following excellent men: Jonathan P. Nichols, '09, Griffin,Ga.; James L.

Sheats, '07 Pharmacy, Monroe, Ga.; andEdward Jelks, '09, Macon, Ga.Bro. Tift has been elected historian of the senior class and manager forthe fall semester of the "Sing Sing Club" of Mercer University. This gleeclub is, by the way, a double quartette, composed of one S A E, one S N,and six Phis, Bros. McCathern, Tift, Harris, Nichols, Cumnock, andConner.On November 24th Mercer will formally inaugurate President Smith.During a week beginning November 21, the Mercer tennis association willhold its annual tournament in doubles, for the purpose of getting a finalteam for the state intercollegiate tennis championship matches. ^ A 9 representedby Bros. Tift and Mallary, has excellent prospects for victory.Georgia Gamma will have inspiring sponsors and a number of loyal sisters(Yes, sisters now; but may they be closer some day!) in attendance duringthe tournament. Football seems to be meekly supported here, owing not to 'lack of material, but to the need of a trainer. This trouble will probably beremedied at once, however, as negotiations are under way with Sewanee'ssuccessful coach, Mr. Hyatt of Yale, which will, in all probabilitj', landhim at Mercer as general athletic supervisor.The sophomore class team has arranged a game with Locust Grove Institutefor November 18, and $ A 9 will be represented by only Bros. Parkerat tackle, and Harris at end, as Bro. Sutton has temporarily injured a leg.On Thanksgiving day, the Aulenen and the University of Georgia teamswill treat Macon to their annual interesting contest. This is always a gayoccasion for local societyand for college and fraternity men. On the eveningof this day, Georgia Gamma will entertain visiting brothers with a receptionand dance.Our chapter was honored to have as guest for a few days about NovemberI, President Carl A. Brown of Eta province, whose presence was congenialand beneficial. We were complemented also by a hasty visit, about twoweeks ago, from Bro. Reppard of Georgia Alpha.Bro. Murray and Bro. Tift as chapter representatives, have gone to Birminghamto the convention of Eta province.An acquisition which is rejoicing the hearts of the chapter, is our new hallwith accompanying ante-room and closet, most desirable apartments on thefourth floor of university Hall.
