THE SCROLL. 195to her and to my brother reporters who have been so prompt inexchanging pennants.By the addition of the house and lot adjoining our old one, wehave secured a situation at once convenient and attractive. We hopeto begin building a stone chapterhouse in the spring. The presenthouse is to be used for billiards and pool only.Sewanee as a university has progressed. Two stone buildings—a chapel and a gymnasium—are in process of construction. It issaid that the gymnasium is to be the best equipped in the South.While the attendance in the medical department for the past yearshows a decrease in numbers, that of the academic departmentshows an increase of one-third. This is regarded as most encouraging.As far as I know the championship of the South in football cannotbe awarded this year. In the opinion of many, Sewanee has as muchright to it as any one. The season's scores are as follows, Sewanee'sbeing first in each case: 23, Mooney o; 6, Cumberland o; 52, TennesseeMeds o; 47, Auburn 0; 23, University of Alabama 0; 6, Universityof Nashville o; 17, University of Tennessee 0; 5, Vanderbilt10.PAUL LEE ELLERBE.Birmingham, Alabama, December.GAMMA PROVINCE,GEORGIA ALPHA, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.The rushing season has been over for some time and GeorgiaAlpha has settled down to the usiial routine with a chapter offourteen men.
