1i1 _ VOL. III. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., JUNE 6, 1910. No . I DEDICN JOHN SKELTON WILLIAMS TO MAKE ADDRESS. We Congratulate Ourselves Upon Se lection of This Man. He Will Give. an Appropriate Address to Young Men Who Are Going Out Into Life. On next Tuesday, June the 8th, at 8:30 P. M., Mr. John Skelton Wil liams, Esq., of Richmond, Va., will address the class of '10 as commence ment speaker. The boys are just about to break away from the realms of dreams and fancy, and to launch out into a life of reality. For four long years they have dwelt amid the theories of art and sci ence, but the time is near at hand to put these theories into bractice-the hard part. They have done well, but the stars are yet to be seen. They are just now to enter into the real life, a life of usefulness and service for which they have been preparing them selves for the past four years., There are many problems to le faced and overcome if their future is to be as bright as it now promises to he, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether a better selection could have been made than has been in the choice of Mr. Williams as commencement orator. He is known as one of the South's greatest financiers. He is a man who has met with this life of reality and service in its truest sense. He is ac quainted with business' side of life. He knows wlhat it is to iiieet, and how to overcome the practical problems that a young man will inevitably en counter. He knows what it is to be defeated, and in defeat, to rise again. The old saying that the last and first impressions are lasting ones is as (Continued on Page Three.) 1910 Annual Out. The 1910 Garnet and Black has just come from the press. This Annual is onusually well gotten up and reflects great credit, not only on the class of 1910, but on the whole University. Sonmc matter which has appeared in the Annuals heretofore has been omitted ini order to make room for some- newer, more original material. The staff has tried to make the Annual "breathe the University spirit," and they dleserve the thanks of every member of the student body for their work to make this Anual do credhit to the institution which it represntni. rED TO T Farewell to Senic Missed by Rei Member Arthur Barto Adams, B.

Now a few( days, and the Class 1910 will be gone forever, as studen from Carolina. Every one of the tv derclassmen feels this to be the grea est loss the University could sustai not merely because it takes from t student body such numbers, and n only that the Seniors, having exper ence, are always the leaders, but esp cially because the retiring Senior cla is the best the University has or w find it easy to develop from the pre ent underclassmen. It is difficult in expressing a far well of this kind not to fall victim those old platitudes which have heig: ened the sorrow of leave-takings sin time forgotten.. But what is said her however commonplace it may appea is meant in earnest. For the Class < 1910 is truly a remarkable one. every phase of college life since i entrance four years ago, it has been leader, ini the class room, in athletic in social life, in the literary societi and college journalism. What will b come of us when the Seniors shall 1 gone, is only a conjeture "filled wi forebordings which-despite the pres otis occurrence of such a catastrophe is difficult to dtispel.
