University of South Carolina Libraries
Campus Celebrities "in.Verse." The University has many celebrities. many of them are famous; take, for instance, "Shakespeare" Hoey, "Merry Widow" Hart, "Slats" Latimer, "Red" Russell, Norwood and Mullins, and many others. No one has ever doubted their greatness; no one ever will. Their greatness is too great to be doubted. Speaking individually of them, take "Red," the Russellyite. He's a cute little youth, has orange hair, little feet, and is a lady's-man. "Red" Russell who has big feet, And of course, he is very sweet; Went to call on a girl, But she gave him tile whirl, And so kicked "Red" in his seat. Now, look at our friend "Merry Widow" Hart. He's a lion among the ladies, a walking encyclopodia of C. F. W. : Our friend "Merry Widow" Hart, Who is skilled with Cupid's darts, To C. F. W. made a call, But down the steps he did fall. And they brought poor "Merry" home in a cart. Talking of pretty dancers, my I you should see Mr. Carwile as he grace fully glides over the floor like a cow. Soph Carwile, so handsome and neat, Who thinks he has cute little feet, At Shandon essayed to dance But he only pranced, And stepped all over his partner's feet. CLS Speaking of people (ladies usually) c4 being "most divinely tall and most divinely fair," here's one for you: Of J. Shakespeare Hoey I now spique, C3 Who has the figue of a classic Grique, C4. He is lean, lanky and tall, And if he should fall, Well "scs janbes" look extremely wique. This year's freshman class is the limit. They are the greenest, freshest, most amalgamated, unsophisticated, rambuncufutious hayseeds we have ever seen. They wear derbys, roll their trousers up six times, wear violet socks and fancy hatbands. They are terrible. Why, they make "Slats" Latimer and "Red" Russell feel like crawling into tile ground. The whole d- fresh class so green, They should not on the campus be seel, But the Soph's (don't you tell) Will not give them i-, So they are fresher than ever I ween. XINOPIION. University Receives Valuable Books. (Con tinued from Pagc One.) such, to b)e kept distinct from the genleral library of the University, sublject to tihe regulationls of tile B3oardl of Trustees. I have for some years inltended to b)equeathl my library to Winthrop College. I still cherish that pur pose wvithl regardl to myl larger gen eral library. But it has seemed to me that my techlnical library of books for modern language study could be mlost usefully left in the University, wvhich should be the ceni ter of scholarship for the whole State where such books could be most wirly available, and1 that T might best serve the general good by thus dividing my library between two State institutions, for each of which I feel an equal affection. This department library includes over i,ooo bound volumes, and sev eral hundred unbound volumes and pamphlets. It represents the accu mulations of over 6o years, from the school books of my boyhood to the latest publications of the present day. Some of the books, therefore, have but little present value, but to gether they represent the course of modern language study and teach ing for the last half century. They have thus a certain historical value, while the later books represent very largely the progress of this depart ment down to the present time. It is my hope that this library may thus be both historically and actu ally useful to the department, and that it may form the worthy nucleus of future additions. I am glad to make this contribution to a depart ment to which I have devoted some of the best years of my life, and which still retains my .varmest in terest. The books have all been arranged and are now ready for transfer. They might remain on my shelves as long as necessary, but to avoid all accident or possible misunder standing, I hope that arrangements may be made for their transfer at the earliest convenient day. Respectfully and affectionately, Your friend and colleague, Edward S. Joynes, Emeritus Professor of Modern .Lan guages. To say that this is appreciated would be language mild, and we ex pect to show by actions rather than by words our degree of apprecia tion. The College Sport. Vhen a C. F. W. freshman Thinks her college lacks a lot Of having all things stated In the catalogue she gor, Then a wise young upper classman Says, "Just dry your eyes and wait, It won't be long before you see A sight that's truly great." If you will scratch your empty head, And ponder and consider, You'll find it true, as two is two, This sight is "Merry Widow." Now in the ladies' college Entertainment can't begin Until our "Merry Widow" Has been kissed and ushered in. Ic has forty-seven sweet hearts Within those narrow wvalls, And it gives him lots of trouble To kceep dowvn jealous brawvls. And when he cannot enter I-e paces upl and dlown. Just forty-seven times he turns Before the building browvn. HeI says it makes him nervous To have a form so fair, They steal his p)ocket handkerchiefs; They clip his raven hair. But then he can't complain. TIhe college pays him well To keep its verdant freshmen From rushing home peill-mell.

Occupying the chairs of the various departments are men who are skilled and learned in their respective work, certainly as able as any which can be found the Carolinas over. These men by their deeds of good citizenship, offer their talents, which are indeed valued, to the city authorities. They aid espe cially in the upbuilding of the public school system, by serving as trus tees on the Board .of Visitors. Mr. Ball laid stress upon the pur pose, and thus the importance of the University to the State. Each man trained here, the State practically supporting the institution, is sup posed to return to his town or vil lage as the case may be, to become a leader. He thus adds indirectly by his influence to the intellect of the State as a whole. Many other inspiring words of ad vice were given the students by Mr. Ball, which were greatly enjoyed and appreciated by them. It is hoped that we may again have the opportunity of hearing Mr. Ball, realizing his manifest interest in us and also the value of such an alum nus to the University of South Caro lina. Carolina Suffers Heavy Defeat. (Continued from Page One.) rules of the S. C. A. A., to which rules we must conform when we play Tech. It seems that she ought to get out a squad that could win from us in a gridiron bout. Moreover, some of our best men, as Belser and Carter, were out of the game on account of injuries received in some of our first practices of the season in line-bucking. We believe, and are glad to hear the manager and the members of the team say they believe, that we are going to play winning games the rest of the sea son. We are not of the class that gets whipped and then runs off and. backbites its successful opponents, but Coach Heisman certainly doesn't care if he does train his team to play "dirty ball." The game of football has become very much en lightened, has grown to be a civil ized people's game. In years past, a rascally trick, an almost inhuman, almost barbarous act in a football game was lauded and the perpetra tor was a hero. But those barbar ous clays have passed. However, a vague similarity to them and to their spirit seems to linger around Geor gia Tech. But to keep anyone from thinking that wve "squeal if you squeieze," we make no charge against Tech, but just b)etwveen you and me and the gatepost they played a rowdy game.
