AW, To those Citizens of the "Clas•sic City" who, by their V7ords, actions and deeds, have shown their ardent love for the Stu­ dents of the University of Georgia, is this Book tenderly and affectionately dedica­ ted. INTRODUCTORY. I I jj E herewith present to you Volume II of THE PANDORA, for your perusal. While we have not reached the top round in the field of College Annuals, yet we ask that you carefully examine the contents within, and we believe you will say that we have gotten up a good Annual. With this number THE PANDORA passes up the state of childhood, and reaches the point where we can stand alone. Now we want to get into such a condition that we can walk. To do this it will require time and energy; it will also need your aid. So let us say here, that we humbly beg that you do everything in your power to aid THE PANDORA, so as it may be firmly planted on the soil of the University of Georgia for years to come. The year is nearly gone, and it has been one of activity for the old University ; fully two hundred students have been with us throughout the terms, which clearly shows how popular the State institution of Georgia is getting to be. In presenting the products of our labor we do so conscious of the result. You will, we know, heap criticisms 011 us, but look out! What you find in this book we have put there, and if it does not suit you that does not make it look as if we had made a mistake, but it goes to show that your opinion is worth nothing. If you find anything herein to take exceptions at, we ask that you pass it by. It is, probably, a mistake you may know it is done as a joke. It came from a humorous brain and not a pure heart. In stepping out of the editorial shoes we do so reluctantly, and with a sincere wish that our friends will see us through by 12 THE PANDORA. purchasing at least a dozen copies of this Annual, and sending them all over the world. Our enieavor has been to prepare for our friends a book which may afford them an enjoyment not for a day, but such as shall merit frequent pemsal; and if in years to come this volume, all covered with dust and colored by age, be brought to light, that your heart may again be made happy by its brightness, and then indeed has our object been accomplished. EDITORIAL. 13 |EARLY every first-class college in the United States, except the University of Georgia, possesses a gymna­ sium of some kind. We all realize the necessity of securing a gymnasium, but seem to be at a loss as to how we shall ever make our hopes accomplish anything. One fact may be considered as certain, the State will not aid us for if they have any money to put on the University it will go towards repairing the edifices which now adorn our campus. Matters may be simmered down to this point we must erect a gymnasium through contributions, or not at all. Now, what is necessary more than anything else, is to start a fund the University Gymnasium Fund. Let this fund be started both with contributions and money that can be made other­ wise. This fund once started, will in the course of time, if we push matters by soliciting aid from alumni and friends of the University, be the cause of collecting enough money to build iis a respectable building. This plan that we have suggested is easily talked of, but can only be carried out by hard work. It will be difficult to imagine the material aid the University of Georgia would realize by making this proposed institution a i-eality. In conclusion let us make an effort in this line. If we do not collect enough in a year to erect this building, no loss will be felt. A new committee can be appointed year after year, and we opine that, by untiring efforts, if we do not succeed in a few months, we will do so in the course of at least two or three year. Who will start the ball in motion ? 14 THE PANDORA. ^ ..E system of vacations at the University of Georgia is fitl It open to criticism. The summer vacations begin entirely i^< J (-oo ]ate jn | ne year Commencement at the University now occurs at a late period in .the summer, instead of being held in the latter part of July; it should occur not later than June 15. By having Commencement so late in the sum­ mer the college work is crowded on us in the hottest part of the year. It is entirely too hard on students to make them do their hardest studying learning final examinations in the hot weather. THE PANDORA desires to suggest to the Trustees (we mean those who take enough interest in the University to attend the meetings) that they investigate this matter, and see if Com­ mencement cannot be held sometime in June, and if necessary open the University in September. We ask the Trustees to consider this if they do nothing else. EDITORIAL. 15 |E think it our duty to say something in THE PANDORA concerning the needs of the University of Georgia. The greatest need that to-day stares us in the face ?»' is, the need of money to repair our buildings. Last winter a committee of the Georgia Legislature came over to see if we needed anything in the way of appropriations. The Legislature is always very kind to appropriate anything in the way of money to repair our buildings, but it is very hard for them to be convinced that we need anything. After searching the campus thoroughly, they came to the conclusion that some appropriation was necessary, and recommended that the enormous sum of five thousand dollars be given us for repairs. As yet the Legislature has taken no action on the report. Five thousand dollars would hardly amount to nothing. Its benefit would hardly be felt at all. When we heard that this com­ mittee was to come, it struck us that we were on the eve of securing a good appropriation. But- our hopes as yet have amounted to nothing. We hope they will in the dim, distant future. The University of Georgia, one of the oldest institu­ tions of learning in the Union, should be cherished by our people above any institution in the State. That we need a heavy appropriation no one can deny, not even the cranks who hate us can deny it. We ask our friends, and alumni of the University, throughout the State, to speak a kind work for us, and in voting for men who will be selected to a position where they can aid us, to sound them and see whether or not they are the friends of the University of Georgia. We want to see the day when the Georgia Legislature will not only be willing but glad to appropriate money to our renowned institution. To this, friends and alumni of the University should come to the rescue. By an effort on their part we could soon have matters in such condition that our worn out domitories and weather beaten buildings would be turned in to attractions. So we say, friends and alumni, help us, work for us, and our success in securing good appropriations, which are so much needed, will be assured. 16 THE PANDORA.
