Cashier DAVID R, COKER ADDRESSES STUDENTS Requirements of Success Was His Subject Last Tuesday Morning. The Requirements of a Life of Achievement Given. At the assembly hour ', aesday morning in the chapel hall Mr. David R. Coker of Hartsville, S. C., addressed the student body on the subject, "Requirements for Suc cess.'' An examination of the careers of successful men shows that they possess certain characteristics that, in a large measure, accounts for the success that is theirs. Requirements for a life of achievement are: health, character, mental power, educational equipment and an opportunity to make good. As John Locke has said, "A strong mind in a strong body is a short but full description of a liappy state in this world. lie that has these two has but little else to wish for and he that lacks either of them will be but lit tle better for anything else that he may possess." 8. 44A. A* * * .46* % C.F.W. It seems that none of our at tempted entertainments met with success during the past week. Miss Bancroft's recital was postponed on account of rain and will probably be given some time after Christmas. \We heard, however, that at least one young Carolinian, and perhaps more, ventured around in spite of the weather. We see that there are still some among us who are willing to risk anything once. We admire the spirit, and take this opportunity of reminding those daring spirits that they may have the pleasure of attending this recital early in the coming year. Ve were disappointed in our Junior play as well as in the recital. "Nance Oldsfield" was to be given in the chapel Monday night by the Juniors, btit one of the cast was called away on account of the illness of her father and so it was impos sible to give the p)lay. W\e regret the unfortunate circumstances v'ery much. It may be said with safety that the p)lay wvillhe on our pro gramme after the Christmas holi dlays. And that reminds us. Christmas isn't so very far away. This is probably more significant ithan <it sounds, for I'm afraid we do not realize it yet. In fact, I may say and I sp)eak from experience-t hat the truth wvill dawn upon us abott the time we arrive at our homie towvns "the clay before." But we are rejoicing in an era cly very acceptable gift "with the corn plliments of 'the Board'." So from present indications things will be quite deserted around here about Thursday night. And mighty glad we'll be to get home. We wish you all the joy and good times of the season. A. G. Mc. CAMPUSGRAMS T. M. Ross and P. L. Wright, graduates of the University of South Carolina, class of 1911, were visitors on the campus for several days. They have been teaching in the same school, in a South Georgia town. The Euphradian Society has added six handsome pairs of cur tains to their hall, taking the place of ones which had become dilapi dated. The new curtains are green, matching splendidly with the color scheme of the room and adding much to its appearance. Last Saturday night the last meetings of the Euphradian and Clariosophic Literary Societies were held, until after the Christmas holi (lays. The next meeting will be held on the first Saturday night after the re-convening of school, which will be January 6. ALAN JOHNSTONE ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A. "Christmas" was the subject of an address delivered by Alan John stone, Jr., president of the Y. M. C. A., at the weekly meeting of that organization in Flinn Hall Wednes day evening. Mr. Johnstone said in part: "Christmas is not merely a season of gift-making, nor of hilarity, nor of home-coming. But in our think ing the season should serve to revive the principles for which He, in whose name we celebrate it, stood. "The standard of social service that He set should have due empha sis. For in t!'s lay, in the midst of our complex social system we can not over-exaggerate Christian ideals. "From the way in which He met the problems of His day we should learn to deal wvith those of our "By is simpile and unaffected love for all classes of humanity we should be indedl to broaden our sympl~athies. "In short, to college men Christ mas should serve primarily to bring to mind the great phlilosophy of life that Jesus gave to the world.'" Hokus: Do0 you expect to spend a pleasant Christmas?
