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.

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.

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

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

to get out a squad that could win

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,

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
