THE BEN GREET PLAYERS. 'The Ben Greet players on Monday and 'tuesday nights gave us the privi lege of seeing two dramas of Shake speare prodiced in a manncr that would not have been displeasing to the great master himself. \Ve have many of us seen Shakespeare acted upon the stage wilh all the elaborateness of modern stage setting, and it was very powerful. We were impressel, and possibly we noticed the scenery and costumes more than the language of the play. And right there we missed the greatest thing in Shake .speare. Iis plays are not dependent on anything but themselves; they were written with a view to producing their effect without the accessories of stag ing and dress. and these latter are only added appanages, which add little or nothing to the real Shakespeare. It is a play produced with the utmost sim plicity and as nearly as possible ac cording to the manner of presentation in Shakespeare's own time, that the lien Greet Players attempt to give. Their acting is the only art they tise ; for the rest they depend upon.the play itself, and no one who has ever seen a performance by them can help being won over to their original style of 1laying. We appreciate as never before the beauty of the p)lays them selves, the p)ow~er fulness of the lan guage, the fact that "Shakespeare was an intellectual ocean, towvardl which all rivers ran, and( from wvhich nowv the isles and continents of thought receive their dlew~ andl rain." THE STUDENT SECRETARY AGAIN. It seems that at last Carolina is to have this much needled factor in cam pus5 life. The question of securing a studen.t secretary,was agitated a few weeks ago, and the only conclusion reached was to try to secure a man wvho should give half of his time to this work. On Monday morning the matter was aain brouhtmll and .ut. before the students in a clear and con vincing manner, which at once showed them .the necessity for securing such a man. It has long been .a matter of pride with us, that if once Carolina men are convinced that a thing is right, and the proper thing to do, they are never slow in showing their approval, and in setting out at once -to accom plish it. This was essentially the case with tle student secretary. As soon as the men were convinced of the need for such a man, a committee was ap pointed to take the matter in charge, and a sufficient amount has already been raised to make the secretary almost an assured fact. The men have been liberal in their responses, and, as always, have proved them selves equal to any demand made upon them. It is impossible to estimate how much good will result from this miove ment. In the first place, it has created a universal interest in the Young Men's Christian Association, an inter est which up to this time, has been undeniably circumscribed and shared by a'small body of men. There is no reason for this, except that .the associ ation has never been placed upon a footing that appealed to the student body as a whole. It would seem a good thing, at the beginning of the next session, to disband the present association and to reorganize upon a basis that will bring every man in col lege into membership. Even should a man not wish to attend the services held by the assocation, lie should at least give to it his active support, and in return enjoy other benefits con ferred by it. Flinn Hall will be directly tnder the supervision of the assocation and this will much enlarge its field of activities. The student secretary will assure the success of .this movement particularly, for the building could never prove an active factor in college life unless it have some human motive power be hind it. Most of the money for this secre tary has already been raised, but there still remains some work to be done. Let us get to work and prove that at least, as regards Columbia, we are not behind-hand when any good work is to he done. Midaummer's Dream a Wintry Reality. (Continued from Page One.) play was well presented, and some of the acting, notably that of Juliet, was exceptional The proceeds of these perform ances go to the Civic League, uinder wvhose auspices these players were brought to Columbia. These inter pireters of Shakespeare have won for themselves a warm place in the hearts of Columbia p)eop)le, anid they wvill alwvays lbe welcomed upon01 their return.

Tine of game, 1:55. Umpire, Welch. In the cleanest exhibition of the season Georgia snatched her second victory in two days from the Carolina nine. The final score of 1-0 gives some idea of the speed with which the game wvas pulled off. Carolina again lost on an error, but the misplay was a pardonable one. The two twirlers did splendid work, Thompson, for Georgia, striking out 13 of the Game cock sluggers. Carolina just could not hit him when hits were needed. Harper was found for only four singles, three of them by the same man, Twitty, but one of these came with a man on second and, decided the game! While Twitty's drive won the game for Georgia, Bartlett's great one hand stop at short stop of a linier off Foxworth's bat saved it for the visit ors. The next two batters hit safely, and, had Foxworth been on, he would have tied matters up, and the inning might have been productive of even more runs. The Georgia infield work was great. None of the visitors, however, had anything on "Jim" Widenian's exhibition at the third corner. It seems very doubtful whether iim could muff 'em if he tried to. Watts'' catch of a low liner over second was beautiful. He caught the ball just two inches above the ground by actual measurement. For quick Nwork the killing of a squeeze play, Hlarper to Belser, has not been equalled on the field this sea son Score: It H E U. of Ga.. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0-1 4 1 U. of S.C. .000000000-0 6 6 Batteries-Georgia: 'Thompson and Lucas; South Cariolina: Harper and Belser.
