BIBLE STUDY GROUP FORMED Enrollment in Progress for the Week Past-The Leaders. DR. CHAMBERLAYNE TO LEAD NEGRO LIFE CLASS "Challenge of the City" Course Also Offered-Students May Yet Join One of the Groups. During the past week the enroll ment of Bible students for the vari ous courses offered by the Associa tion has been in progress. By the end of the week all the groups will have been organized, and at present the prospects for a large enrollment ,S are quite bright. The names of 2 some of the leaders of these groups are given herewith: d Prof. Frank Bradley, Prof. R. F. Bradley, Messrs. A. H. Williams, Alan Johnstone, Jr., I. G. Goggans and W. P. Mills. As the work re quires, other groups will be formed, and other leaders added from time to time. The last part of the pres ent week will be given over to the Mission Study Campaign. The course which attracted so much attention last year-the course on Negro Life in the South--under Dr. Gordon B. Moore, will be' under the leadership of Prof. L. P. Chain berlayne during this session. As soon as the enrollment is completed this group will organize, and the course will be completed by the Christmas holidays. Some 400 men throughout the South last year were studying Dr. Weatherford's book, and the interest aroused by it has certainly started a new era in thou sands of our Southern colleges. Every man who has not taken this course should certainly do so this session, for it will be without doubt one of the most interesting and one of the most profitable things to which a man can give his attention during the college year. Professor Chamberlayne is keenly interested in the negro question, and has read widely upon it, and is in every wvay fitted to (direct p)rofitably the thought of those who study tunder his guid . ance. For those who took the course in Negro Life last year, a course is offered in Strong's "Challange of the City." The name of the leader of this course will be announcedl later. If for any reason any student has not been approached to join one or the other of the Bible Study groups, or the Mission Study group, it will b)e app)reciatedl if lie wvill hand in his name either to Mr. A. H. Williams, Mr. Alan Johnstone, Jr., or Mr. WV. P. Mills. VARSITY AND SCRUBS PLAY REGULAR GAME. Underlings Show Some Strong Re sistance to the Varsity Crew. Big Boys Won 8-.

INFIRMARY RATHER FULL THIS WEEK. The past week has been a very eventful one at the infirmary, ac cor(ling to Mrs. Madden, the ma tron. The usual cases of la grippe, bad colds, headaches and general debilitv arising from change of water, air, food, etc., by the boys off from home for the first time, couple( with the vaccination of the whole student body, has kept the infirmary corps busy. No had cases, except tlhat of Saye, a freshman who was rather badly cut wvIhen he fell against a glass par tition in the gymnasium Wednesday afternoon, have been reported. Be side him, there were six boys, namely: McMurray, Perkins, Lewis, Dean, Manning and 13. B. \Villiams, in the ward Wednesday morning. Their cases were not very bad and most of them expected to be out by Friday morning at the latest. The progress which is being made in the vaccination of the students is gratifying. Mrs. Madden states that they intend, with the assistance of Marshal Dykes, to finish the job by the mid(dle of next week at the latest. COLUMBIA COLLEGE FRESH RECEPTION. News has reached the campus that wvill not only gladd(en the hearts of the freshmen but of the old1 men as well-the Columbia College girls will give their return reception to the freshmen Monday evening. The College for \Vomen faculty have not dlefinitely dlecidled wvhen they wvill give theirs, but say that it wvill lbe some time wvithin the next two wveeks. By common consent nioth ing b)rings the colleges in the city closer together or establishes more friendly relations than (1o these receptions. The one given here Monday evening was one of the most p)leasant affairs imaginab)le andl seemed to be equally annlreciatedl by both boys and girls. H. G. GOGGANS IS ADVERTISING MGR. Seniors to Pay Two Dollars for Pic ture in Annual-To Pay Off Debt. Owing to the resignation of W. H. Scott as advertising manager of the Annual, the student body was called upon Monday morning to elect his successor. To this office -1. G. Goggans was chosen.

Two amendments to the constitu tion of the Garnet and Black were proposed-one adding an extra sen ior editor, the other providilig for election of successors to editors re signed. DR. BURTS' RECEPTION TO BAPTIST STUDENTS. For the last few years since its inauguration the reception given by the pastor of the First 13aptist church of Columbia to the 3aptist students of the university has been conted a pleasure and a privilege to those that attend. The reception ThursdaY, September 28, at the home of Dr. C. E. Burts was in no sense an exception to the rule, and if anything was rather a heightening of it. It seemed as though most of the student body were of the Baptist faith. There may be room to sup pose that in view of the reception and the charity characteristic of the occasion there were present a num her of Baptist extractiqji. But 1no one inquired after dark horses. It looked like a colonial party in the okleti time-the mansion in the style of a hundred years ago, the ladies in filmy stuff on the porticos, the men moving about as shadows to bring out the light of the ladies. It has been remarked that the fruit punch was some of the finest on record, and the other refresh ments were close in for second place. It is everywhere noticeable that the students of Carolina feel a real grat itude toward the big pastor for his interest in this and in so many) other ways. LAW SCHOOL NOTES.

The fact that the mem b)ership) of this dlepartmlent growvs larger each year is the very highest p)roof of the efficiency of tihe work dlone andl a lasting tribute to the able men composing tihe faculty.
