BLUE RIDGE
Within a few weeks, students of the University
They

will seek that place which offers the best of recreation, rest, fellowship and those satisfying experiences
dear to vacation days. Naturally, the 'student asks
where all of these things may be found. The Kernel
suggests that Blue Ridge is the place to satisfy all
of the requirements.
It is located in the heart of the rugged mountains of North Carolina. It stands at an elevation
hundred feet above sea level in
of twenty-seve- n
the midst of hundreds of acres of virgin forest.
Among the many things to be found upon its grounds
library, garage, athletic field, tennis and volley ball
courts, a swimming and boating lake, miles of rhododendron and laurel bordering trails for hiking and
horseback riding. Everyone of the fifty thousand
people who have visited this wonder spot during the
past sixteen years have come away singing praises of
it. They know in their hearts that it is a wonderful
vacation place.
With all of it!, charm and lovliness, Blue Ridge
cannot be catalogued, for it is born of the clean, rare
air of the hills, of the freedom of great mountains,
cool summer breezes and ripling waters. If the student is seeking for something more than beauty and
comfort, Blue Ridge has something in addition to offer. Many of America's outstanding religious leaders are on the grounds during the summer to epitomize religious activities and the happy privilege of
the joy of living. Such inspiring leaders as Dr. W. D.
Weatherford. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick and Dr.
J. M. Culbreth will make the coming summer worth
while and enjoyable.
From present indications, one hundred schools and
Several
colleges will be represented this summer.
insltutions report that they will have unusually large
delegations. The total number of those present will
be near five hundred. Meeting such a number of
students from colleges of ten Southern states, getting
personally acquainted with some of the world's greatest speakers, thinkers and denominational leaders, together with ten days of play, is an experience that
should leave a lasting impression of the summer's
vacation.
The iCcrnel feels that Blue Ridge will be a place
of inspiration this summer. A splendid program has
been arranged which will offer the student unusual
opportunities for self expression In regard to the
racial situation, Industrial problems and international
relations. The conference has come to be a "Souther.:! Intercollegiate meet" where students participate
In all of the events. It follows that everyone should
have an enjoyable time amid the rugged mountains
of North Carolina when the conference season opens
in June.

COLLEGE COMMENT

Last semester a lip reading class was started at
the University of Nebraska for students who were
hard of hearing or totally deaf. The course has
proved so popular that students with perfect hearing
are enrolling for the course.

Georgia Tech received $76,000 as. her part in the
Rose Bowl game at Pasadena New Year's Day. A
good football team pays, and pays, and pays.
A- - group of

weakening fraternity politics on their campus. It
takes like to combat like.

Johnny Brickies, varsity football man at Wittenberg College, recently declared there were 19 letters
in the alphabet. Another prominent student and a
lady faculty member of the college said the alphabet
contained 24 letters. Now you guess.

Two active members comprise the new law sorority, Kappa Beta Pi, which was organized by the women law students at Iowa State recently. Rather exclusive, eh?
,

The co-eat Waynesburg College have revolted,
and this year's prom is to be held without men; half
girls are to appear in male attire. It all hapof the
pened because some of the boys at the college brought
"outside" girls to college affairs.

....

It now seems the honor system is a failure in
American colleges.
The Yale student council has
finally convinced the faculty that the honor system
cannot be enforced under the social and educational
conditions which now exist at that university. At
Amherst, upon the request of students, the system
was dropped after being in effect for 23 years, and
at Harvard the proposal to introduce the system was
rejected.

William Cullen Bryant Kempt, perpetual student
at Columbia University, is dead. Kempt, who was
78 years old when he died, was a freshman at Columbia University in New York City in 1868, three years
after the close of the Civil War. He continued in
college the rest of his life because a relative left him
$2,500 a year. He had three B. S. degrees, M. D., A.
B., A. M., LL. M., LL. B., Ph. D., C. E., D. D., M. E.,
E. M., Phar., Chem., degrees and he had one degree

THE MORNING STAR
When the brilliant diamonds of the night
Begin to fade into the mists of morn.
One lone star so bright
That it pierces through out the haze,
Shines from out the sky
Upon the slumbering world below.
With gladness from on high
Merrily it twinkles on
Until the glory of the rising sun
Chases all the shades away,
It then departs from view-- Its
duty done.

Dear hands I loved,
From thee, whose fingertips
Life came again to me,
You haunt me yet.

Those beautiful hands
Whose fluttering was like a white
moth caught by the cruel love
flame.
That day I tried to create again
Your hands in the clay,
I could only see them crushed
A sacrifice to love.
Dear ghost hands,
I love you more than love,
I need your hypnotizing caress.
But you are gone
A priceless offering to love.
