COLUMBIA, S. C., MAY 6, 1911.
We would like to remind a few
of the students that the Board of
Trustees has set aside one block of
the coll-ege property to be devoted
entirely to athletics, and hoped all
athletics would be confined to that
particular spot. ft looks rather had
'to see a large number -of men on the
campus minus their coats, engaging
in ball practice, and we trust these
men will think about how they ap
pear to -other people, and stop.
This is the last issue of The
Gamecock before commencement,
and before turning the work over to
our successors, we want to bring
just one .thing more to the attention
of- the society members. We are
forced to suspend publication on ac
count of the scarcity of funds, and
this is a thing that is likely to hap
pen every year as long as The Caro
linian is allowed to get all unlimited
number of ads before the business
manager of this paper can even think
of speaking to an advertiser. To
renedy this we suggest that the
business manager of the Carolinian
be allowed to freely solicit ads until
he has secured, say, $500 worth, and
then he be restrict-ed from getting
any more until The Gamecock and
Garnet and Black have both secured
ads sufficient for their needs. This
will work no hardship on The Car
olinian, as it has 1en clearing about
$300 per year for the last two years,
and( it wvill make possible better work
on the othe.r p)ublicatrions. Think
this over carefully.
The editor in chie-f (desires to
thank the members of his staff for
tihe noble support and co-operation
given, and also to comlmendl t,hem
upon the excellence of their work.
With men like these as assistants
the work *of the editor is madIe
ligh.ter andl much more efficien':. To
the new editor-in-chief and staff we
extend our heartiest. goodl whihes,
and trust their task will be as p)leas
ant as was ours. Adios.
Snmc alirder is "Bann" McSwe,
A Glimpse at the Annual.
The proof of the 1911 Garnet and
Black has been received, reviewed,
and returned, and the few vho had
the pleasure of looking over its pages
are profuse in their praise of this
product of student activity. Un
doubtedly it is the best book of the
kind gotten out by the students of
this institution, and will afford the
greatest delight. and pleasure to its
many readers, both when first re
viewed and in future years when we
are wont to bring back the pleasant
memories of days spent here.
The book t-his year is the iost
elaborate ever a-ttenpt.edl here, con
taining in its 260 pages -10 club pic
tures, 65 individuals, with sketches;
2 plates of five colors each, 5 pl)ates
of two colors, and many drawings in
ink, wash, pencil, etc. That the lit
erary side has not been neglected is
seen from the fact t'hat the book con
tains 2 short stories, 2 plays, )ictur
ing incidents of our life here or here
after. 7 sketches and 4 poeis.
Printed on India tint paper, and
bound in brown suede leath-er with
the University seal staniped in gold
in center of front cover, it presents a
most attractive appearance. The
book is expected to be delivered by
June 1, and. its arrival will be hailed
with delight.
Last of Life Work Talks.
L. S. Mattison, of Shandon, one of
the leading insurance men of Colum
bia, was the last speaker in the
course of Life Work talks offered by
the Y. M. C. A. He spoke last
\Vednesday evening upon "The Op
portunity of the Christian Business
Man." Mr. Mattison is one of the
hardest workers and most influential
men in the Shandon Baptist church,
w1hich enjoys the distinction of being
the only church in South Carolina,
every member of vliCh contributes,
regularly, to foreign missions.
In handling the subject chosen,
Mr. Mattison impressed his hearers
wvith the fundamentals of a Christian
business man, a person who finds
time to enter with much enthusiasm
into the work of the One that has
given us all things.
The address was listened to
eagerly and profitably by its hearers,
who hope they will hear many more
such next year.
An International Meal.
The German Club entered while
the Italian band played a S)anish
w.alz. The table, adorned with
American beauty roses, was laid
wvith elegant China. The dloylies
wer.e trimmled with IPersian lace.

rareb)its witsh Chile sauce formed the
body of the meal. Also served were
Irish potatoes, Jap)an'ese rice, Me>ei
can yams andl Indian corn. T'he Rus
sian caviar p)roved a p)opular dlish.
Java coffee and Swiss cheese; fol
lowed b)y home-made butterScotch
comp)letedl the feast. Turkish Tro
phies andl Egyptian dleities were
handed around and after pleasant
conversation the p)arty adjourned.

MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED
BY DR. WEATHERFORD
Series of Splendid Talks Well At
tended by Students, and Results
Are Gratifying.
The visit of Dr. V. D. \Veather
ford, extending through four days,
has beci, as was )re(ligted. the one
event of our college, year. There
was very little of ostentation in it,
hut for (ee), far-reaching and long
lasting good it -has been, unidoubt
edfly, the greatest of our experiences.
)r. Weatherford while here gave to
the students six of the most inspir
ing anl hel)ful talks we have ever
had the pleasure of hearing. He is
a speaker of force, holding the atten
tion of his audience )y his absolute
sincerity. While telling in their ef
fect, they could not )e called emo
tional in nature, being rather scien
tific and logical arguments, inter
s)erse(l with many illustrations com
mon to college life. The college
man, his problems an(l his )attles
with temptation, have )een the study
of Dr. WVeatherford for over ten
years, and has enabled. him to ap
)eal to the stulent in a most sym)a
thetic and effective way.
The subjects of Dr. Weatherford's
talks were: Friday mornig, "lBattles
of College Life;" Friday evening,
"Impurity;" Sunday evening, "The
Cardinal Sin-Selfishness;" Monday
morning at chapel hour, "The Social
Meaning of Sin," and Mon(lay even
ing. his last talk, "Our Source of
Power."
. )r. \Veatherford, however, did
not confine himself to talks from the
platform, but met a great many of
the fellows in a heart to heart talk
in the privacy of his room in Flinn
Hall, and there was dIriven home to
the hearts of many of us the truths
intro(luce(l first from the )latform.
-fter all, it is personality that
couts in bringing a man to your
way of thinking, and it is a sympa
thetic personality such as )r.
Veatherford's that brings so many
to see the truth.
Dr. \Veathe'rford also gave a short
talk on Bible study to the men who
meet every Sunday for that puirlpse,
anl brought home to them the tie
cessity of a regular an(l careful
study of that great book for the (e
velopment of real character.
Dr. Weatherford left early Tues
day morning for New York, a(I we
can onl regret that the visit was so
short, but lio)e that next year we
may be more fortunat-e in this re
speCct.
Track Meet at Clemson..
L,ast Monday Carolina's hefty
track team went down in defeat be
fore the fast and well t.rained crew
of Clemson College. While the
score was 98 to 19 against our team,
tihe experience wvas what was needed,
and altogether the trip could be
counted succ.essful. For Carolina,
R. E. Monckton took second in the
100 yards (lash, Harth second in half
mile, Green third in 220 dlash and
second in 220 'hurdles, Watson third
in pole vault, Kollock third in hig'h

and Kollock third in brona ium.

run of the mile race in the fast time
of.15:08. The two High School track
