C., OCTOBER 16, 1908 The Honor System at the Univer sity of South Carolina is something that every alumni and every student is proud of. Indeed they should be proud. As seen in the "History of the Honor System at South Carolina College," there has been a system of honor here since the founding of the college in 1805. It has gradually de veloped until we have our present sys tem of honor. The honor system as we speak of it daily on the campus means, that no student shall receive aid, which effects his or her class standing, in any unfair way, shape or form. This refers to the everyday classes as well as to the examinations. It means also that every student is bound to report every other student who he sees receiving aid in an unfair manner. This is no little thing and every student should think it over seriously. Last year the mode of procedure in the trial of a man who was suspected of unfair practice was changed. Here tofore the class to which the suspected one belonged tried him. But since the college has become a university it was seen that this system would not work successfully. Now we have what is called "The Honor System Com mittee." It is compos d of one mem ber from each class aptd acts as an investigating committee. If upon in vestigation the committece finds the student reported to them guilty, it in turn reports to the student body, and the student body acts accordingly. It has ever been the aim of this institution to send forth men who are not only perfected in scholarship, but also ever mindful of the obligations of truth and honor. Her highest les son might well be summed up in the following sentiment: "Who misses all, Who wins the prize, Go lose, go conquer If you can; But if you fall or if you rise, Be each-pray God-a gentleman." The new administration building, for which the Legislature appropri ated $30,000.00 last year, is under construction. It is going to be a handsome structure and will be a great addition to the University. We think, however, that the Trutees could have selected a more convenient and suit able location.

Yesterday at the home of the bride, on Sumter street, was solemnized the marriage of Miss Sarah Briggs Swaf field and Mr. Martin Capers Dyches, the quiet, impressive ceremony being performed in the presence of the im mediate family and a few relatives by the groom's brother, Rev. J. W. H. Dyches, D. D., pattor of the Baptist church in Keysville, Va. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The wide reception hall, extending the length of the house, was done in gold effect with long stalks of yellow cannas and sheaves of stately goldenrod paneling the stairway and the walls and bright gold dahlias filling bowls and jars every where. In the parlor, where the cere mony was performed; graceful smilax draped the walls and white and pale pink roses were everywhere in pro fusion. Back in the dining room a combination of pink and 'deep red roses was used with most'artistic ef fect and the table from which re freshments were served was banked in the centre with them and was light ed with brightly burning red tapers held in quaint old silver candelabra. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Mr. William C. Swaffield, and was unattended, the ceremony be ing simple in every detail. She wore a smart tailored suit of green and blue invisible check voile in one of the new models, with a stylish hat com bining in Frenchy style tile two colors. On the afternoon before her mar riage the bride-elect was at home to her cousins and a very few intimate friends at ai afternoon tea, the affair being quite informal and private. Mr. and Mrs. Dyches left yesterday afernoon at i o'clock over the South ern for the mountains, where they will spend several weeks before returning to Columbia to make their home. Mr. Dyches is an alumnus of the University and has continued his con nection with the University as mar shal. Recently he has purchased an attractive home on College sreet and he and his bride will go immediately to housekeeping on their return to Columbia. The bride is widely known and much admired in Columbia, and her marriage, though it was exclusively private, was of much interest to her many friends.
