Mr. Granbery was very ois^urbed re-
cently by finding out that Goethe was
a distinguished Russian author. He says
one of his students made the discovery,
which is making a great deal of trouble
for him in the matter of revising some
of his well established theories of that
sage.
PARAGRAPHS.
This number of the Megaphone is pre-
pared and sent out by the office force of
the University. It can not be expected
to have the "pep" of the usual student
numbers, although Bome of the summer
school students have helped in gathering
the notes of interest, personals and the
like which keep us in touch with each
other. The "Force,** from Tinsley to
Turner send love to "all to whom these
presents come."

Major J. S. Cooke, recently of Marfa,
Texas, has been appointed maiiager of
Mood Hall for next year, and Proctor
in charge of the men in that building.
Mr. Cooke has had nine years experience
in the Quartermaster's Department of
the United States Army, and has ranked
all the way frqm "Mess Sergeant'* up to
Major. He knows all about feeding men,
and is starting in with the view of giv-
ing the students the most satisfactory
"board" they have ever had in Mood
Hall.
He resigned from the Army something
more than a year ago. He then became
the secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce at Marfa, but later decided to en-
ter the Methodist ministry. As he is still
a young man he accepted our position
here with a view to using the opportunity
to pursue further his studies in prepar-
ation for the ministry. As head of Mood
Hall he plans, with the co-operation of
the students, to mske that a true home
for the young men wi the University and
the pleasantest and beet ordered college
dormitory in the State.
Dr. Bishop got in touch with Mr. Cooke
through the honorable Hunter Metcalf,
a leading lawyer of Marfa and gradu-
ate of Southwestern, who always has the
interset of the University at heart and
who knows what we need as well as any-
The President allows it to be announced
that he is in correspondence with a pro-
fessor in one of the leading State Uni-
versities of the country concerning the
position of Professor of Romance Lang-
uages held by Prof. Cornyn last year.
There are also several other candidates
'for this position. Dr. Bishop will leave
e*ly in August for the North and East,
and will have personal interviews with
theee before making the appointment, de
will also see applicants for poetion of
Ascsistant Professor of Education which
the Board established at its last session.
An Assitant in Expression and Physical
'Draining for the yonung women is also
to he chosen. Autboritive announce-
ments concerning these new faculty mem-
bers may be expected soon.
The Sophomore Cfoss.—The Freshman
Class of the last year was one of the
best, and next to the largest we have ever
had ajL Southwestern. There wss s larger
percentage of exceptionally bright boys
and girls, who were also earnest students,
in it than ia usually to be found among
first-year college-students. It is there-
fore to be expected that there will be
a very large Sopohomre Class this year;
those vfljo do well as Fresmen are likely
to continue their work in college.
Last year this class shewed a good deal
of independence of spirit and had
"initiative" of its own. There

paratively little "rowdyism" among them.
Their devotion to the University was
as strong as that of the older students.
Their support of every forward move-
ment and their subscription to the
Christian Education Campaign showed
their, loyalty. It is believea that this
Class can set set some precedents. It was
intimated last year that plans were on
foot for the formal introduction of Fresh-
men to college life which would be free
from mere "rougu-neck" exhibitions as
well as from actual abuse ot the men
themselves. It will require some inven-
tiveness, aa well as some generous ap-
preciation of the spirit of true college
fun, to put on foot a scheme which will
remain a college custom for years to
eome, and which at the same time will
be free from the coarseness and bullying
which has been so much criticised and
condemned throughout the country. But
it is believed that the present Sophomore
Class has the constructive ability to es-
tablish the new precedent.
