SUCIETY NOTES. ++J At the regular meeting of the I'Aiphradian Society last Saturday night, several assistant marshals were elected, among whom were Messrs. Purdy and Wilson, for the Southern Oratorical Contest preliminary, and Messrs. FitzSimnons and Mills, J. D., for the Intra-Society contest. This contest is to be held during the first week of May and the contestants are now hm-d at work. There are two melals given in this contest, one to the best declaimer and the other to the best (eclaimer and the other to the best debater. A preliminary will probably be held at an earlier (late in order to eliminate the more unfortunate and make the program shorter. The de baters' medal was won last year by I. F. Belser, and the decla.imers' by -1. Greei. The Junior officers of the Clario sophic Society were initiated last Saturday night. Messrs.

In the Sewanee Quarterly Review for April appears a criticism by Dr. Mitchell of Dr. George Armstrong Wauchope's recent book on "The Writers of South Carolina." The article is extremely well written and coatains an able review of this latest addition to South Carolina literature. Dr. Wauchope's book has just been issued from the press of the State Company and is on sale at the Gon zales Book Store. The same volume of The South Atlantic Quarterly contains an article by Carl -olliday, of the Southwest ern Presbyterian University, on "Southern Poets of Today." In it he reviews a number of the living literati of the South, and has the following to say of Prof. Yates Snowden, of this University: "Many a Southerner has read wvith hal f-smiling, hal f-tearful eyes that wordl-portrait, 'A Carolina Bourbon,' b)y Prof. Yates Snowden (1858- ), of the University of South Carolina. The pafhos of truth is in this (descrip tion of the old1 time Southerner, who had lost in the throes of the Civil War all save his p)ridle and gallantry." The following verses from the poem are then qIuoted: "I-Ie loved and wooed in early days; Sh~e dlied,--an<l he her memory pa~ys The highest tribute--for, with ways And viewvs extreme, Hie, 'gainst stern facts and common sense, To the whole sex (to all innts) 1ransferred the love and reverence Of life's young dream. "And noiv to live within his means, He dons his gray Kentucky, jeans. (His dress, in other times and scenes, Was drap d'te). IHis hat is much the worse for wear; His shoes revamped from year to year, For 'calf-skin boots are all too dear,' We hear him say. "So life drags on as in a trance, No 6migr' of stricken France, No Jacobite of old romance Of sterner mould. His fortunei gone, his rights denied; For him the Federal Union died When o'er Virginia's line the tide Of battle rolled." In the July, 1909, number of The South Atlantic Quarterly is given in full a speech made by Dr. Mitchell at the recent Conference for Education in the South, held at Atlanta, Ga. The article is entitled "The American Spirit in Education," and in it Dr. Mitchell reviews in a most scholarly manner all the most potent influences in American education today. Within the last few days the Library has received the thirteen vol tumes whic'h make up a most interest ing set of books. The collection is entitled "A Library of Southern Litererature," and is "compiled under the direct supervision of Southern men of letters," as is noted on the title page. Dr. George A. Wauchope of this University, is one of the assistant literary editors of this very important work, and among the contributors are Dootors Wauchope, Green and Joynes, of this University. The South Atlantic Quarterly for April, 1910, contains in substance the speech delivered by Lewis W. Parker, Esq.,.of Greenville, on Founder's Day, January 14, 1910, at this University. The article is entitled "Science in its Relation to the Industrial Develop men-t of the South," and will be a val uable source of information for all who were unfortunate enough to miss hearing it a few months ago. Prof. Charles W. Bain has been re quested and has written the article on classical literature for the Encyclo px-dia Americana. This encyclopedia is one of the most important works of the clay, and an invitation to become a contributor is quite an honor. The work is now being gotten out, and each volume as it is issued is read by the entire literary world. In Memoriam Y. M.P. A. APRIL 19th, 1910 Do You Want a Diamond?
