EUPHRADIAN CHAS. S. SIMPSON, Editor. It was with great pleasure and pride that we met in our beloved hall on September 26th to welcome new mem bers and to begin our year's work. The outlook for a successful year is unusually bright. Besides having some of our best workers of last year back with us, there are among the large number of new members several excellent men in whom we have great hopes. It is with great pride that we note the manifest interest in the Society oin the part of every member. Of course, this is no more than should be expect ed, but it has been a sad fact, for the past two or three years, that the mem bers have not taken as much interest in Society work as they should. Work for your Society men, there can be but one result. Following is the list of new mem bers taken in the Euphradian Society: W. S. Bolt, B. D. Carter, H. Green, J. M. Green, W. F. Haynesworth, F. R. Hemingway, J. B. Heyward, Oscar Henderson, D. B. McIntyre, - G. A. McIntyre, D. L. McColl, R. E. Seibels, R. E. Hanna, J. H. Brown, Joseph Fromberg, D. G. Perkins, R. L. Red wood, D. A. Brockinton, R. F. Geirsch, Jr., D. C. Heyward, Jr.; C. E. Sligh, J. H. Hammond. At a joint meeting of the Clario sophic and Euphradian Societies on October 3, 1908, it was decided to give up the idea of getting out "The Cen tennial Catalogue" on account of the enormous scope of the work. It is with much regret that this work is given up, but the undertaking proved most too great. Mr. J. Rion McKissick, '05, a true Euphradian, was present at the open ing meeting of the Euphradian So ciety. Mr. McKissick was on his way to resume his study of law at Har vard University, this being his Senior year.

The basic principle of the South Carolina University is educational rather than religious.

The direction of re ligious ideas and beliefs has been left to other influences. This, from the in herent nature of a Siate institution, is as it should be. But our campus, we are glad to say, is not wholly destitute of religious in fluences. The Young Men's Chris tian Association, which for the past quarter of a century has been doing so much for young men everywhere, has its special and peculiar work here, a work which no other organization can do. The scope of this Associa tion's work is universal. Its material is young men; its finished product Christians-active, live, energetic Christians. Our Association here received. a heavy blow last year when the Legis lature refused to appropriate the money which we asked, for the pur pose of obtaining a student secretary.
