The winning of so great an honor in oratory came as a very fitting end to what has proven one of the great est years in the history of Carolina. This year the University defeated Davidson in debate at Rock Hill in flie Winthrop auditorium, then a week later was awarded the decision over Trinity in debate at Durham, N. C. In the South Carolina State Oratorical contest Ashton Williams won second place. Mr. Allan won an honor for his University equally as great as the honor he has won as an individual. A significant feature of this year's oratorical contest is that in no in stance except one has the same man been in two contests. Ashton \Vil liams participated in the Davidson debate and represented the Univer sity at the meeting of the State Ora torical Association. .Mr. Allan received his A. B. de gree at Davidson where, during his four years' stay, he won several medals in oratory. He is now one of the most popular members of the junior law class. Ir. Allan this year won the coveted Roddey niedal of fered for the best debater in college byI Mr. Roddey of Rock Hill. He is a member of the Euphradian So ciety. His home is Charleston, S. C.

Smith explained how~ the land had to be treatedl before the seed were sown andl how to care for the crop) until harvested. The students were shown ov'er the Fairwvold dairy, one of the most modlern and up-to-date (hairy build ings in the State.
