Though the work has had its trials and tribulations, it has been a pleasure. We thank the students for the honor bestowed upon us in giving to our trust T i l GAm ECOCK for the past term. We feel that the new staff is capable of giving it good attention, and will serve the paper most elii ciently. May their work be as pleasant as ours has been and may they meet with unbounded success. Southern College Press. One of the notable events at the University next week will be the meeting of the delegates of the Southern College Press Association. These men are the journalists of the various Southern colleges and em body the highest ideals that prevail in student life. It is a body of men that should be shown every possible courtesy, and the student body, in dividtually and cllectively, will honor itself in entertaining them. The name "Carolina" has always been synonymous with "hospital ity," and the men of the University will not be derelict ini their dluty toward the dlelegates. Each should devolve upon himself, as a commit tee of one, to mlake these metn feel that they are among friends and not stranigers ini a strange land. No higher tribute can be p)aidl to the men of the University than to have it saidl of them: "Carolina men are the embodiment of the spirit of fraternal friendship." 'High in its ideals, profound ini its scholarship, imperial in its in tellectumal strength, Carolina has vindicated its position ill the world of letters; so also she has and wvill stand a citadel of courteous fellowv ship to man. Men of Carolina, when this delegation is with us, let not the gospel of sunshine depart from us, but emulate the example of the past and place another mile post of Carolina spirit in the march of the years. The college press is doing a momentous work in helping to instill the democracy of life, in con traversion of the aristocracy of intellect, into the college men of the nation. The leaders of today were the college men of yesterday, and they have brought into their work and into their leading the ever-broadening and ever-quicken ing spirit of democratic humanity. The true college men think little of putting their shoulders to the wheel in comradeship with the tillers of the soil or the workman at the forge-his friend and, mayhap, his teacher. Of course it is problem atic the exact influence the press has in the shaping Spirit of the College, but it is one of the forces making for the appreciation of an education, not so much for educa tion's sake but for the good its )ossession will (o the world. The men who will be here next week will be the representatives of this press, and should so be honored. So, men of Carolina. be ill) and doing, show your spirit and give every one a good, jolly time. But, wvhat's the use; we know you will (10 it. C. F. W. 4 At least one of our number has acquitted herself most creditably in the past few days, and that one is Miss Ottie Lee Rast, who gave her graduating recital in piano on Monday evening last. Miss Rast's programme was one of dillicult numbers, and the manner in which she rendered them showed both effort and talent. This is the first of a series of recitals to be given between now and the close of the college in June. The Pa/ietto is to be rep)resented at the Press Association in Spar tanburg by Miss Rebecca Walker, who is an executive committeeman; Miss Dora Gray, Miss Agnes -aynesworth, the editor-in-chief for next year; Miss Elejy Wylie and Miss Annie McCown. \Ve hope that this meeting in Spartan burg wvill be as much of a success as the one held at Clemson College last year. To say the least, we are all slightly depressed by the indications whilch p)oint to the coming hot weather, which is, in truth, wvell on its wvay. As 'The State observes, we are all beginning to look around for our electric and Palmetto fans, and wondler how we ever had the face to compllain even wvhen the ground was snowv-covered. We scarcely (hare look into the future, and our only hope is that we will be able to exist until Jne. We enjoyed having Dr. Smith, who delivered several lectures at the University, with us at chapel time Tuesday morning. Dr. Smith expounded an old adage to us-"All things come to him (or her, as the case may be,) who waits." We had never thought seriously of being a waitress or accepting waiting as our vocation in life, but this throws a new light on the subject, and in all probability we will be found waiting! A. G.
