Dear Sir:
Enclosed find .+ 1.00, payment
for yearly subscription to Meg-
aphone. Let me compliment you
on the college paper for this year,
for really I think it shows im-
provement over the years in
which I have been a subscriber.

morning most of the Mood llall
boys gathered in the court and
discussed the appropriateness of, ««rvwl « ,nosl Phasing prelude
commemorating April Fool's Day
by "swapping" dinner with the
Annex girls. It was rumored
that Jessie Jones started the idea
and that it had been heartily en-
dorsed by the young ladies. Af-
ter some discussion the motion
that the boys eat dinner at the

the little drama all portrayed
their parts with understanding
and showed merit in their imper-
sonations. Miss Anne Carter,
Miss Sanders, Miss Root and Mr.
Millikcn were especially good, to-

scliool. 1 find its spirit of Dem-
ocracy has not been overestimat-
ed to us of the South. In fact,
the surprising thing about the
place is the unity which pervades
all its departments. Personally,
I do not think it suffers from the
influence of wealth as do the oth-
er big Eastern schools. In other
ways I think it, like all big
schools, has serious faults that
can not be eliminated in so large
a student body. Hut still I should
say no Southerner will make a
mistake in coming here.
Hoping for you and The Meg-
aphone staff a successful year, I
am, Very truly,

Mr. M. H. Hall,

Dear Hall :
I hope you may pardon the
late arrival of the enclosed cur-
rency of Cuba. I have simply
overlooked this detail whenever
1 had time to attend to it, al-
though I allowed this item in one
of my remittances to S. TT. last
winter, but they gave me credit
for the same on my account and
loft The Megaphone out.
You poor boys think you are
busy in school, but in a place like
this one gets too busy to remem-
ber his best friends. Neverthe-
less 1 steal time to read most of
The Megaphone every time,
though it conies to this, provin-
cial town usually a week or more
late. To -me it conies as a voice
from the homeland to exile, for
since those of my own day have
passed out of S. lT., it is my only
news bearer from my alma mater.
Sincerely yours,
L. II. Robinson.
Accident at Mood Hall.
Last Wednesday while at Mood
Hall in company with the other
girls from the Woman's Hnilding
who went to the Hall for lunch as
an April Fool stunt," one of the
young ladies lost a bunch of keys.
Search was made but the keys
were not found as late as Thurs-
day morning when announcement
of the loss was made in chapel.
