Farewell.
With this issue the present staff
of TmE, GAM COCK gives up the
task and turns it over to the new
editors. 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

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. McC.
