Mr. Dyches' Resignation.
The announcement of the resig
nation of Mr. Dyches from his po
sition as marshal of the University
has aroused on all sides expressions
of deepest regret. Honored, beloved
and respected by all those who came
into close personal contact with him,
his withdrawal from the scene of his
duties here comes as a blow to those
of us who have learned to respect
him for his judgment and tact, to
admire him for his geniality and
friendliness, and to love him for his
ready sypiatliy.
Mi r. Dvches brought into the exer
cise of that part of his duties which
usually preceded or followed an in
terview with the authorities a degree
of tact which retained for him the
admiration of those who had re
cently felt, or were soon to feel, the
strong hand of discipline. There
was' never the slightest wavering
from the rigid course of duty, but.
somehow, the culprit felt that Mr.
1Dyches' heart of hearts was beating
in sympatly for himself.
However, this is the gloomy" side
of the activities of the marshal. As
"superintendent of grounds and
buildings"--this appears in the cata
logue-Mr. Dvches was ever ready
to perform any reasonable service
for the students. Freshmen have
besought him to lix their fireplaces,
sophomores have asked him to have
made for their own personal use a
few extra bed slats, juniors have
reqluestel assistance in installing
lighting apparatus. and seniors have
respect fully petitioned aid in locat
ing lost canes or derbies, and not
once have thev been refused.
So it is not surprising that the
announcement of the resignation of
Mr. Dvches has awakened the regret
of every student. ''he best wishes
of the entire student body go with
him to his future home near \Val
laceville.
Sunday Afternoon Lectures.
The students of this university
who missed the lecture on wvorld
peace by Dr. lh,omas Green, deliv
ered under the atispices of the city
Y. M. C. A. two weeks ago in the
theatre, failed to hear one of the
miost eloquent and instruct ive ad
dlresses before an audience in this
city in many years. Those p)resent
acquired a grasp of the peace situa
tion in every country of the wvorld,
told in a most thrilling and interest
ing manner. America's moral duty
in taking the lead by declaring for
dlisarmanment was forcibly dIriven
home.
No student of the univ'ersity can
afford to miss a single oneC of this
series of Sunday afternoon lectures.
Tlhe best platform speakers of
America come here and their mes
sages are dlelivered absolutely with
out cost. It is a rare opportunity
for culture which every student
shonurd eagerly emhraee.
Letter From Graduate About the Big
Game.
The following letter explains it
self :
Bennettsville, S: C.,
Nov. 4, 1912.
Dear Mr. E?ditor:
Please allow me room in v'our
columns to express my appreciation
and congratulations to the football
team and to say a word to my other
friends at the University.
It has been a great pleasure for
me to note the victories of Carolina
and not one time do I think she has
lost to her discredit. On last Thurs
day Carolina won her greatest vic
tory since I have known the mean
ing of "U. S. C." \When I con
gratulate each and every member of
the team I am sure I express the
feelings of hundreds and hundreds
of other Carolina men throughout
this and other States.
First of all, I wish I could have
been on the team; next, I wish I
could have been there to see the
game, but since other duties claimed
my time, these pleasures were denied
me. This, however, did not alter
my lovaly to my alma mater, as my
heart was with. the boys on the grid
iron, my spirit was with the boys
in the grandstand and my love was
with Carolina. She won and I am
thankful. I only wish now that I
could give each member of the team
and the coach a hearty handshake
and feel the weights of the star
players on nmy shoulders.
I am teaching and working on
athletics in the lennettsville high
school. Our little team won a game
by a score of 27 to 6 the day a fter
Carolina's victory. I am well pleased
with my work and like the town very
much, although I am kept very busy.
T notice the enrollment for this year
is greater than ever before-482.
Over half of these, by far, I claim
as my friends and would be glad to
hear from them.
Yours for Carolina,
-oyt Watson.
