tiers of the faculty. The former ;
will teach Kn*U*h. The latter will j
assist Or. K. C. Bingham in teach* i
In* chemistry. The senrlc** of Dr. '
White have been engaged that Dr. !
Bingham may have more time to de
vote to the text books he is no*' wru
ng on chemistry.
House For Co-Eds.
Along more material line*, the most
notable improvement made In the
college, is an adequate arrangement
for housing female studenta. This
year, for the first time, the latter
nill have an entire house to them-'
selves. They will occupy the large
building formerly ueed as a residence
by Professor Whitson at Broad and _
f.oml>ardy street*. It is expected that
vearly fifty female students will
matriculate this year.
President Boatwright says he ex
pects about 40» students this year,
and adds that this number would
probably be even larger were it not
'or the fact that the entrance re
quirement* have been made more
■Igid. As a result, the freshman clam j
alt! be smaller. On the other hand,
,-iowever, the senior class will he tit* i
urgest In the history of the college.
Heretofore, a graduating clam of for
ty held the record. This year, there
will be sixty-five seniors to begin
with, of which number It Is expect
ed that at least fifty-five will secure
iegree*.
The program fer the coming weeh i
at the college comprises several recep
tions On Thursday evening, the col

open Its doors (or matriculation on
Monday. The opening exercises will
be held Wednesday morning at '9:30
o’clock In the Academy Hall. Col.
Thomas B. McAdams will make the
addrosr.
The Academy expects an unusually
prosperous year. Intended only for
“day student*.’’ It can accommodate
only 175. it Is predicted that every
seat will be taken.
Prof. Frank B. Brown will act ae
Dean of the Academy during the ab
sence of Profeeeor Prince. The latter
Is ill with typhoid fev-jr. and although
reported to be convalescent will not
be able to resume his place In the
school for several weeks to come.
There will be two other changes In
the personnel of the (acuity, caused
by the reelgnatlon of f'rof. J. T. Moore
who intends entering the Graduate
Department cf Harvard University
th'r year. Prof. Moore’s work will
be divided between Professors J. K.
Hutton and H. C. Carter, both new
men at the Academy.
Busy at Medical College.
Student* are still continuing to ma
triculate at the Medical college of
Virginia, which opened Tuesday, and
It is now confidently predicted that
the list of students will total 300
within the naxt few weeks. This will
be an Increase of 60 over the number
enrolled last year.
Dr. W. G. Christian, the new pro
fessor cf anatomy, gave his final ex
amination Tuesday night, and is now
delivering his regular lectures. Dr.
Call, professor of the FVactlce of
Medicine and Dr. Hazen. who fills the
chair of physiology have also held
their examination and the work of
the college Is fairly under way.
Rounding at Public Schools.
So far as the public schools are
concerned. Superintendent J. A. C.
(’handler declare* himself more than
satisfied. A majority of the classes j
have had lessons assigned to them,
and will get fairly started on their j
work Monday. Some of the books uaed i
In the high schools have not yet arrlv- j
ed, but these have been shipped and i
are expected by Tuesday or Wednes- j
day at the latest.
There ha* been some difficulty In as
signing the pupils of the West End to I
schools, owing to the fart that this,
section is overcrowded. A place w> !
be found for every student, however, j
and If Is expected that the new Han- i
over school will be completed before j
the end of the present year, thereby
obviating all difficulties so far as the j
West End is concerned*
There has been an enormous tn- j
crease In the number of public school
students in all sections of the citv. )
This applies to the white, and no lei*
to colored children. As regards the
latter It may even be necessary to rent
room# for the accommodation or first
grade pupils.
Theological Seminary.
Dr. o. B. htrlrkler. a member of
the faculty, will deliver the opening
address at the Union Theological
Seminary Wednesday afternoon when
the ninety-ninth session of that In
stitution Is formally begun. Dr. W.

nary, will preside, while the Rev.
Dr James Fair will lead the opening j
prayer.
With an unusually bright prospect
the centennial movement will be
pushed with the utmost vigor this
year. The board of trustees has al- !
ready appointed a committee to ar
range the program for the centennial
celebration to be held tn May. 1912.
when It Is hoped that the Southern
Presbyterian church will hold Its an
nual convention here.
At the Theatres
NEXT WEEK.
Academy—Yiddish players. Wednes- *

day night; “The Slna of the Father,"
Saturday matinee and evening. I

Yiddish Players.
Few Kngltsb-speaking oomp«;iits on
the American stage to-day can com- !
pare with the visible art and dra
matic expression of the Yiddish players
comprising the New York Yiddish
Operatta Company, which is under the
personal direction of PM win A. Rel
kln. and which comes direct from New
York city to the Academy on Wednea- I
day night. In one of the best plays ;
of the Yiddish repertoire.
This company la headed by the well
known and popular star and player,
Mr David I^evenson. and Is supported
by an excellent cast of popular Tid
dlah players.
Mr. David Devenson and his com
pany are very much In earnest In their
message of truth-telling at the acme
of stage art. In these days of puerile
drama and niachtne-made stare they |
stand eloquently and passionately for
verity In art and the Yiddish embodi
ment, by which they hope to reach the
dramatic consciousness of America, j
“The Other Women."
When ■ dramatic star appears In a '
new play the announcement la always
made that this ta the best in which [
he or she haa ever been aeon. The j
public soon verities or disproves the'
■tatement, however, and nothing la j
rained if too much haa been claimed. .
The producer* of "The Other Woman"
accordingly must realise that they '
make a very broad statement when i
they aaaert that In thie new drama {
Blanche Walsh has the strongest and j
best play In which she has ever *p- j
peered.
The declaration - goes beyond the !
usual asoertlotW of a similar tenor,
for there Is the splendid record of line. ,
strong dramas in whteh Miss Walsh i
has gained the reputation of being j
America’s greatest emotional actress.;
Lo««| theatergoers will have the op
portunity of seeing the new play at
the Academy on Friday night, and
those who have seen Miss Walsh pre
viously In the course of her remark
able career may judge for themselves
as to the truth of all that has been
claimed for “The Other. Woman.”
The play deals with a woman's strug
gle between love and generosity—be
tween love and duty. It might almost
be said, the duty arising from the
ethical point of rley of yielding the
man she loves, and who loves her, to
the man’s wife. Two women love the j
same man. and it Is not the wife who i
Is the better fitted to make the man's i
Ufe complete In affection and happi
ness. As “The Other Woman.” Blanche :
Walsh has s role demanding groat
powers of emotional acting, but this la
her special field In the dramatic
world.
“The tins of the Father."
Thomas Dixon, suthor of “The
Clansman." haa written a new play.

tt KtTHF.il CONDITION*.
Throughout the Atlantic and Gulf States the winds are mostly northerly, the weather clear and the tempera
tures between 50 and *0 degrees. Similar conditions prevail tn the eastern mourtaln region except there the tem
peratures are from 8 to 10 degrees lower Throughout moist of the Mississippi valley end the F’lains States the
winds have shifted to southerly In response to the development of a storm central 'n northern Minnesota. This
storm has as vet developed no precipitation of consequence although the southerly winds have brought a rise In
temperature or from 1 to I degrees-to a large number of the central States. _
George H. Brennan at the Academy ;
next Saturday. matinee and night. In
many respects this drama Is even more
remarkable than “The Clansman." ■,
marking an epoch in the dramatic
treatment of the race problem.
"The Clansman' was historical;
"The Sins of the Father" is content- ,
porary. “The Clansman" set forth .
the achievements of the Ku Klux Kian; ,
"The Bine of the Father" shows the
threat of negro domination within the
home. "The Clansman" Justified the
attitude of the South forty years ago.
"The Sins of the Father"—in Mr. Dix
on's own burning words—calls upon
the South of 1*10 to be "true to ner
best traditions and save American civ
illsalion!" |
Any fear of the celebrated author's
repeating his previous work has proved
groundless. He has taken new mate
rial, new characters, new situations,
and has welded them Into a dramatic j
atructtire which carries a novel story
of the most exciting Interest and drives i
a powerful message home to the heart
and brain of every hearer. That, at
any rate, is the verdict of those who
have seen "The Sins of Uie Father"
In "The Sins of the Father" Thomas t
Dixon presents the ruin that threaten
ed to overwrhelm a Southern household
from the mixture of races.

Newleyweds are always amusing. 1
but 'The Newlyweds and Their
Baby," seen at the Academy Friday j
night, and to be seen again Saturday, j
were funny to the point of absurdity '
and scream. Perhaps they were not
as amusing as the brilliant company j
of talented musical people who ;
helped entertain the comfortably !
filled house, but they and thtlr In- j
fantile prodigy were the centre of at- .
traction all the while.
The show abounds with merriment, j
beauty, dance, song and odd droll- 1
erles, all of which served admirably
to send the audience home humming
and whistling catchy songs, and still
laughing at the jests and absurdities.
Olga Von Hatxfeldt made a charm
ing "Newlywed" wife. She has a
splendid voice, and a nonchalant ;
grace which wins. As Adolph Nlchol. j
Murphy scored the hit of the evening. !
His acting and German dialect In
"the operatic solution.’' w’a# by far
the most humorous touch In the play. .
James Roeen, as the baby, was won- ;
derfully infantile and satisfying, and ’
Hal Starks was a good bear. J

worth seeing.

certain of fulfilment, judging from
the figures its producera the Wagen

10 HIS CRUS

criticisms of the supreme court in the
Dred Scott case. Moreover he used

cision. far stronger than I should

to his right and duty to acll atten

tha decisions in question, I err in
