Not because THE GAMECOCK is bankrupt, but be cause these worthy aspirants for the bar have something to say to the students before the year is. out. It is with the greatest pleasure that we turn next week's publication over to them. For Carolina the year about to close has been a great one. Last September the future loomed big and bright. The past year, as we re view it now, standing on the thresh hold of May, has given all that Sep tember promised, and more. With an increase of students over last year's enrolment, the indications were from the first for a banner year. Everything pointed to a greater Carolina. This year Carolina for the first time engaged in inter-collegiate de bate. Defeating two strong North Carolina colleges in the only meets held, we were heralded far and wide as a college strong in oratory. Al though we did not get the decision in the State oratorical contest, our representative pushed the winner of the medal so close for first place that one not well versed in the fine arts of oratory would have been unable to render a decision. In athletics Carolina has clone wvell. Although wve have broken no records, we have madle some of our contestants sit tip and take notice. What wve have lost in scores has been more than overbalanced by what we have gained by the inipressions wve hav'e made on our visitors. Many have been the remarks made by members of visiting teams of the uinbountded courtesies shown them while on the Lampus. Teams that we have defeated have left us, think ing not of the dlefeat wve had admin istered but of the genuine Southern hospitality ext ended them while they were our guests. In no less a manner have we madle a reputation for being supporters of our team at all times. The snappy, whole-souled cheering that always goes on, on the side line, has gained for us a right to claim the gameness of that bird that signifies our base ball and football aggregation. Not only when the score was on our side has this support from the student body been in evidence, but at times when our opponents seemed to have the best of it the thunderous rooting from the side line told the players on the field that four hundred men were with them in victory or defeat. Such spirit as this is what makes our vis itors think with pleasant anticipation of the time when they will meet us again on our home lot. It is the duty of every man on the campus to hold high the 'record our institution has gained in the past. In doing what you can to make Car olina bigger and better each clay, you give to the future of your college more than can be purchased with silver or gold. Let us resolve with a greater determination to sink deeply in our being that oft-repeated toast that every freshman knows ere he finds himself on the campus: "Here's to Carolina. May she ever be right ; but, right or wrong, Caro lina !" Owing to the interference the stu dents offer to the players when they throng along the side lines, the man agement has found it necessary to have them occupy the grand stand. This is a good idea. Not only be cause it is considerate of the visitors, but it also gives our own catcher a better chance to go after pop flies aroun( the rubber. But now that you are in the grand stand. don't for get at exciting moments that you are not on the side line and indulge in boisterously jumping about and hug ging the man next yon. Rememiber that the grand stand is practically al ways crowded with ladies and the congested state of affairs make things rather disagreeable for them when you frantically try to do an Indian war dance on about a square foot of space. Another thing that could well be dispensed with- is the hammering of the seats with "dope" bottles. This is very annoying to those around you and should be re frained from. Try and use your lungs more and your limbs less and none of the ginger and snap will be lost from Carolina's characteristic Law Students Here from Other Colleges. Messrs. Henry and D)eShay of WVashington and Lee University and Messrs. G. F. VonKolnitz and R. C. Siegling of Charleston have been on the campus for several clays. T1hese gentlemen are here to take the law examination to be admitted to the har in South Carolina. Mr. Von Kolnitz is a brother of Alfred Von. Kolnitz, captain of next year's foot ball team, wvho is a member of the innior lawv class. Law Alumnus Visits His Alma Mater B. J. White, an alumnus, has been in Columbia several clays visiting among the friends of his college (lays. Mr. White was formerly sec retary to Judge Woods, but is now assisting Mr. W. F. Dargan of Dar lington in law. Judge Woods spoke in the highest terms of Mr. White and his delightful association with him. Mr. Guerard, also a Carolina man, is now Judge Woods' secretary. Mr. Guerard was held in the highest es teem by his classmates. We wish for him the greatest success in his chosen profession.
