At this time of the year most people feel weak, tired, listless,
their blood is thin, they have lived indoors and perhaps expended all
their mental and bodily energy and they want to know how to renew
their energy and stamina, overcome headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin and feel the exhilaration of real good
health tingling thru their bodies.. Good, pure, rich, red blood is the
best insurance against ills of all kinds. You are apt to fall a victim
to any disease if your health is run down.
Purity the blood with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery

next Friday and Saturday, according
to Dr. D. A. Penick, coach of the
raquet wielders. It is probable that
Granger and Drumwright. and Gregory
and Brown will be the University rep-
resentatives. However, Granger and
Drumwright are at present on their
way to Atlanta, Ga., te enter the South-
ern Intercollegiate Conference meet.
Since they started Dr. Penick received
word that only members of thts con-
ference are now eligible to enter its
tournament, and efforts to stop the
men who started there to represent the
University have so far proved unavall-
ing. It is possible that after they
reach Atlanta they may make some
arrangement to enter the tournament,
says Dr. Penick, but if they can not
do this they will return in time to
play in Houston on Friday and Satur-
day.
Teams from A. & M., Baylor, S. M. U.
and the Unversit ywill enter the
Southwestern meet.

At a meeting of the general faculty
of the University of Texas, May 11,
the committee appointed at a previous
meeting to prepare resolutions on the
death of the late Professor Edwin
Whitfield Fay of that institution sub-
mitted the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
"Edwin Whitfield Fay, for the
past twenty-one years Professor of
Latin in the University of Texas, died
at Pittsburg, Penn., on February 17.
1920. He had gone to Pittsburg toi
minister to the needs of a sister who
had been stricken with influenza-pneu-
monia. and he fell a victim to the same
disease.
"In the death of Professor Fay the
University of Texas and the worid of
scholarship have suffered a grievous
losa He was an enthusiastic and in-
spiring teacher of Latin and (by the
courtesy of his colleagues) of Greek,
deeply admired and beloved by those
students who came really to understand
his keen sympathy and his profound
learning. He was one of the most fer-
tile of investigators not only in the
field of Latin, but also in that of the
comparative grammar of the Indo-
Germanic languages as a whole. And
he has bequeathed to the University of
Texas a priceless legacy in the ten
bound volumes of his college papers,
comprising in round numbers, three
books and one hundred and sixty es-
says. These studies deal in an original
and significant manner with a num-
ber of the most difficult problems of
comparative grammar: some are radi-
cal. some are distinct and luminous
contributions to the solutions of these
problems; and most of them are pro-
vocative of thought to a degree found
only in works proceeding from minds
of the first rank. In his Collected
Papers as a whole. Professor Fay has
left an imperishable monument to his
own genius, and has lent an unfading
glory to the University of Texas, for
whose highest interests he labored with
no less zeal than acumen.
"But, broad as was the field of the
classics and of comparative grammar,
Professor Fay’s interests were not re-
stricted thereto. He was a voracious
and eclectic reader in the literatures!
of several languages, a fact that led
to his being invited to conduct some
course's in the school of general litera-
ture.
"Nor, again. was Professor Fay’s
learning limited to the academic field.
He was erudite in many lines, and yet
he wore his great weight of learning
as lightly as a flower.
"In the class-room. In faculty meet-
ings, and in the forum, he pleaded for
and he exemplified the highest ideals
of study and of conduct This zeal for
the ideal and the accompanying scorn
for the shoddy at times led some, both
among students and colleagues, to
think of him as too exacting and as
unsympathetic. But in each group,
those that really knew Professor Fay,
realised that while he fought without
gloves in the defense of cherished prin-
ciples. he manifested the heart of a
child in dealing with individuals. While
proud of his penetrating mind, of his
varied and profound learning, and of
his astounding productivity, these
friends are prouder still of his many
‘nameless, unremembered acts of kind-
ness and of love.’
"Tour committee recommends:
°1. That the General Faculty of the
University of Texas adopt the fore-
going memorandum as expressive of
its deep sense of loss ir the death of
Professor Fay.
"2. That the faculty assure Mrs. Fay
of its profound sympathy with her in
her sorrow.
"1. That, if agreeable to Mrs. Fay,
memorial exrcises be held in honor of
Professor Fay, at a time and in a man-
ner to be determined by this com-
mittee in conference with Mrs. Fay.
"4. That the faculty accept with
deepest gratitude the legacy named in
the body of this paper, and that the
Collected Papers of Professor Fay be
deposited in our library with a detailed
index thereof.
“5. That this tribute be recorded In
the minutes of the General Faculty of
the University of Texas and in the
minutes of the College of Arts, that a
certified copy thereof be sent Mrs. Fay,
and that the tribute be published in the
press of the State.
"Yours respectfully, (Signed) Mor-
gan Calloway, Jr., chairman; M. B.
Porter, E. C. Barker, committee."
