Mills, exective secretary of Flinn Hall, last week made a trip to Greer to deliver his lecture on Palestiiie. Though he has formerly acted in the capacity of lantern man ager, Wilfrid Officer was unable to accompany Mr. Mills on this trip on.account of a recent case of the measles. Mr. Mills, looking to the success of the Students' Volunteer Confer ence at Due West March 1-3, left the University Thursday morning for Clemson, Furman, Erskine and Newberry Colleges. According to Scipio *Brisbane, the master will be absent until Monday morning. Monday night the class in Dr. Motte's "Decisive Hour of Christian Missions" will meet at Flini Hall. Dr. J. 0. Reavis will make a short address to the members of the class. A Letter from a Graduate of the . Class of 1907. To the Editor of THE GAMECOCK: The man out of college is always interested in the view-point of the man in college. IHe likes to know how the citizenship of scholasticism regards his particular line of en deavor. Therefore it may be as sumed that the converse is true that the college man is interested to some extent at least in what the alumni are thinking. To me, a graduate of the years when the University was emerging, under the tutelage of faithful lead ers, into its prlesenlt p)osition of men tal affluence and philanthropy, the developments of the past fewv years have been of great interest. I have wvatched the steady growth of the sp)irit of helpfulness-of help fulness to the outsidle world-which, quiescent in my coll.ege days, has now attainedl portentous proportions. That spii-it is the offspring of the broader zeitgeist wvhich has included men and nations. Akin to the movement for universal peace is she brotherly sympfathy of the modern uiniveralty man for his comradIes of Believing this, I venture to offer my hearty congratulations on the wvork that the University is doing in every branch of endeavor. In its strictly scholastic lines, in its exten sion work, in its broader grasp of social problems, in its reaching after the best of things political, in its wholesome distribution of energy among a wide variety of objects, in these, the University is making for the ideal of what should be %he evo lution of our fathers' thinking and striving. John S. Reynolds. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 22. THE SICK Ashton H1. Williams has been ab sent from the canipus for a matter of several days with grip in the in firmary. His case is not especially severe, and it is probable that he will be back on the campus shortly. Wade Manning is on the list with the sick, but his health is generally good. and nothing can hurt him for long. Claude Smith had \Vednesday a little operation for ingrowing toe nail, which, though not painful now. will have him on crutches for a time. He will, however, be all 0. K. for baseball early practice. J. W. Wilbanks is at work again after a spell of sickness. Douglas McKay Spoke to Y. M. C. A. on Promptness. Doug. McKay, old Carolina foot ball star and always friend of the studen\ body, spoke in Flinn Hall. Wednesday night with his text "Promptness." His point was that promptness in everything, not only attendance on classes and meeting of engagements, but promptness in decision, is the greatest need of col-, lege men today. His talk was up to-date in every sense, and presented new and striking aspects of college life. Mr. McKay is not so long out of college that he is not on to all the little curls of the thing, and he delighted the audience present to hear him. Mr. Lee H-. Thomas is an aspi rant for a p)osition on the city fire dlepartmuent. Mr. Thomas' ability is unqjuestionedl and as he is too slowv to catch a cold, getting wvet (which also would cause no serious danm age) would not stand in the way to his ambition. 1His p)etition is signed by such illustrious and notorious characters as Pelican \Vatson, Bull dlog Mace, Country Moore, Seven Ball Mullins and Frowvsy Bill, wvhich in itself assures success.
