Much is expected of these men, and they have the full Dr. Charles W. Kent Spoke in Chapel. Dr. Charles W. Kent delivered an interesting lecture to the students in chapel Wednesday. After an introduction in which Dr. Kent paid a tribute to the Uni versity of South Carolina, especially to its splendid progress during the last few years, he announced as his subject, "The Challenge of the Century." For an hour he pointed out the progress that this country had already made in its forwardness, and said that it could be characterized in four distinctive marks. First, this century is a century of complexity. No man can live alone in this world. The century is so interwoven by cur rents of activity that have destroyed simplicity of living that it makes it impossible for a man to devote him self exclusively to any one thing. Second, it is a century of democracy. He illustrated this by the very recent history of nations in Europe and other countries. Third, it is an age of machinery. An age demanding intellectual training. The age in which the mechanical labor system predominates the manual labor sys tem. Fourth, it is a century of in ternationalism, in which it is getting more and more impossible for a State to live separate and indepen dent. Co-operation must be the key note of each nation as well as each State. After giving these characteristics he pointed out the needs of efficient men to meet its demands. A large part of the world's efficient work is being done by college men and the college men should train themselves for efficiency. Again he said the progress of the South depends on individuality. A man can only grow great by under taking great things. He predicted for the South a future of unexcelled opportuiity, and said that the young men should recognize the South's obligation to the nation and that the college men should consider the obli gation as their own.
