Vauchope would make an ideal college president anywhere." $ CIVIC CLUB HOLDS INITIAL MEETING. Perhaps no meeting yet this ses Sion held iore of interest and impor tance to the University of South Carolina than tile initial convention of the members of the Civic Club in the green room of Flinn Hall Friday evening. 'Tle formation last spring of this organizatidn marked the identification of our University with this movement amnong our nstitu tions of education. These clubs have for their object a stirring up of interest in the affairs of great polit ical iiiiportance and the inculcation in the minds of selected university men of high-based principles of political righteousness and practical ity.

In the marvelous wvorld of the moving picture the University is nowv included by a visit to the campus Thursday mnorning of Mr. Freeman Owens and his machine. Mr. Owens is in Columbia as a p)art of thie exten sive advertising p)lans of the Colum hia Ad Club. Commercial Secretary A. McP. Hamby applreciatedl the p)art tihe U.niversity p)lays in the E;fe of the city by including it in the pic t ure. Several scenes were taken in the quadrangle as well as on the green. DR. MITCHELL ON THE BIBLE BASES Dr. Mitchell in Y. M. C. A. Talk Links These Essentials. THESE PRINCIPLES ALONE MEAN DIVINITY The Progress from One to Another is Logical Perfectly-The Natur alness of Such a Religion. The regular weekly meeting of tie Y. M. C. A. on \Vednesday evening was addressed by )r S. C. Mitchell. By far the largest at tenlance of the year was in evi deice, the piazza being crowded with mIen who could not find seats in the reading rooms, used on these occasions as an auditorium. Dr. Mitchell spoke from the text, Jolhn 8:32, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." This passage contains three great thoughts, not usually considered as being related to each other-the thought of obedience, truth and freedom. This is, however, the logical order of their importance. Seneca says, 'We are born subjects and to obey God is perfect liberty " Obedience and freedom are coinci dent. The free men in the city of Co lumbia are those who obey the city's, State's and nation's laws. \Ve are free from disease only as we obey the laws of hygiene. \Ve at tai mental and spiritual* freedom only as we obey natural and divine laws. The truth is free-who, then shall know it ? Only those who will to know. By the mere exertion of will power, we may secure that knowledge, which means our spir itual freedom. MAYBE HORSFORD CAN BE HAD BACK fi an interview with Marshal D)yc i'm \VWednesday, he stated that as yet there had been no one ap pointed to fill the place of the guar dian of the peace of the campus-the night watchman who disappeared last w eek. F said, however, that lie wishedl to secure the services o)f Mr. WV. WV. H-osford, who at one time held that position, but that probably Mr. 1-os ford had othier p)lans 'in v'iew. Tfhe hope has b)eeni expressed that the eflicienit officer will return to his former post of ORCHESTRA TO ORGANIZE. Announcement was mladle early in the wveek that those trying for p)laces on the orchestra would meet at Mirs. Tw~itchell's Thursday a fternoon to practice anid organiize. TIhe p)ros p)ects for a good orchestra this year are iindeedl bright as there is much new tent on bndr. DR. E. S. JOYNES GIVES COURSE On Saturdays at 11 O'clock, Room 13, Davis College. ENGLISH GRAMMAR AS IT IS ALIVE Noted Scholar Offers Exceptional Class in a Subject Never. Taught Here Before. Dr1-. Edward S. Joynes, )iofessor emeritus of modern languages in the Univ,ersity of South Carolina, is offering on Saturdays in Davis Col lege a very unusual course, both in subject matter and in point of teach ing. The aim of the class, as stated by Dr. Joynes Wednesday in an in terview vith a GAMECOCK represen tativ,e, is to make the dry bones of English granimar take life and rear themselves into the coml)lete and s)lendid form of English as it lives in language. Back to English. Dr. Joynes has been for all of his distinguished life a teacher of lan guage. He is a linguist by instinct and by training. Tiough lie has taught Greek, Latin, French and German, his first love was English, and his mother tongue has claimed his attention all along. Of late years he has devotedi his studies to his old field almost entirely. From his extra ordinary powers and fromi his long experience there has sprung a new conception of English, one never taught sl)ecifically. Scarcely Any Forms. That the English language has, properly s)eakiig, practically no grammar or forms will be shown inl the course of the lectures. There is, excel)t for a few possessives in ref erence to animate objects, no such thing as case in English. In the sentence, "The hat is on the table. table is not the object of "on," there is no such tling as object of a )rel)o sition;- one had as vell say .able is the subject of "on" so far as a case goes, for there is no change in the form of the word to denote the case. English Essentially Simple. The absence from English o)f the forms of v'erb and noun andl adjec tive and the like has miade English a language essentially simple, since its sentences are held together not by an intricate systemi of wireless telegraphy between the wvords, but b)y wordl ordler, by regular seqIueceJ of words and ideas. Dr. [oynes makes the point that this makes English peop)le think in a straight and logical line, and so has an effect on the national character. The class was full at its initial meeting Saturday last, wheni the in troductory lecture was deCli veredl. All teachers from the city and all CAROLINA-CHARLESTON COLLEGE GAME TODAY (Continued from Page One.) with the usual amount of steam, and a warm battle may be expecied. "Reports of Carolina's excellent prospects were somewhat (otubt ful vlen the 38-o Georgia score camle in. However, when it is remei bered that Georgia trimmed Tech last year aid is expected to be a prominent S. . A. A. contender this season, Carolina's trimming might have been worse. Whitner, quarter back, is the captain. Passailaigue, of the Citadel, and vonKolnitz, of the Collkge, are both at Carolina and eligible to play in Saturday's game against the Maroon. However, it is probable that neither of these men will be seen in action on Saturday. "Doc McFadden will referee the game. It is hoped that the other officials will be of the sort to give satisfaction without delaying things. College Park has been put in fine shape, and a big crowd is expected to greet the University on its initial ap pearance here. Admission will be fifty cents to any part of the grounds. The first appearance of the Maroon will call forth a fitting re sponse from the College rooters and a great contest is expected." Coach Neff stated Wednesday night that he would like to take the whole squad to Charleston, and regretted the fact that this would be impossible, and that lie would have to miake the 'varsity (1o full work. TENNIS ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS. The Tennis Club on Monday morning elected the following ofli cers President, -1. G. Goggans; vice-president, M. S. Brohun; secre tary-treasurer, J. IB.
