Brother Turner will attend the SouthernBaptist Seminary at Louisville, and Brother Wills will take a medical course.At commencement only three honors were taken by fraternity men. Allthree of these were captured by Phis. Brother Holliday got the speaker'splace from the law department and also the medal for general excellence inlaw work. Brother Conger took the other honor in the shape of a fifty dollarprize for the best essay on a subject in connection with the law course.The baseball team closed its season very successfully. Six Phis madetheir varsity M's. Besides this there were two other Phis who played invarsity games.The prospects for a successful football season seem rather good. CoachStroud will be back.
