A. upon "Christ as a Stain less Man." Three reasons were given for the assertion that Christ was a perfect man; first it w\as ad mitted even by his enemies; secondly the four gospels portray him in this light, and thirdly he himself claimed that lie was sinless, even though "tempted in all points like as we are." In conclusion the speaker emphasized the point that it is the duty of every man to keep himself "iunispotted froi the world." CAMPUSGRAMS H-enry Fellers of the class of 191 1 is in Columbia.

HERE LAST SATURDAY Dr. Philip VanNess Myers Spoke on "International and Intranational Ethics' to Large Audience. Dr. Philip VanNess Myers, of the University of - Cincinnat.i, a noted historian and scholar, with whom practically every student of the University is acquainted through his text-books, spoke in the chapel last Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Dr. Myers chose as his subject "International and Intrana tional Ethics." To say that the address was a scholarly effort is needless. The people of Columbia and the students of the various colleges of the city were so eager to hear him that the chapel was crowded to overflowing, many being forced to stand, al though the lecture was at a most in convenient hour. Dr. Myers discussed a topic which is at present occupying much of the public mind-peace and war. He is an ardent supporter of universal peace and impressed thoroughly upon the minds of his hearers the. horrors of war and the joy of peace. f South Carolina 1801 in the Capital City wing departments of study: is courses of study in Lan -ading to the degrees of A.
