Columbia wants a slogan. We
always have felt that that square

Rock Hill is one town that seems
to extend the glad h:nul to college
students. A\ pr.ess association, an
intercollegiate dlebate andI a State
oratorical contest const itute a clean
sweep) of all such galther-ings hlel
within this State.
TIhose who adnmire thle muscular
rather- than the high brow type of
man may find somec justilieation for
their- viewvs in the wvordcs of Carly'le,
who saidl of an athletic friend: "HeI
stood bare, not casedl in coat of mail.
He grappled face to face and heart
to heart like a giant wvith naked
things. Tlhis after all is the sort of
man for me. I plead guilty to valu
ing such a man above all other sorts
of men."
A Letter.
We acknowledge with pleasure
the receipt of the following letter:
Dear "Bird"--It is my wish to
contribute to the columns of the
Gamecock something that may be
of interest to its student readers.
Let Ime say something at the start
of the treatment accorded Southern
men at Harvard: all, students and
professors, hold out a glad welcome
to them. Tlcre is deep planted in
the New Eigland brain an admira
tion for the (ualities of warmth
and geniality that characterize our
sect ion. Once Southerners at the
larger institutions were the excep
(ion, but the number of our men
wlh) now are at studv in the North
is surprising. The majority of
Southern men enter the law school,
and their recent record has been ex..
cellent. President I.owell expressed
to ie his warm hope to increase the
number of un(lergradlate South
erners here.
.\nother topic in which all
are interested is the status of the
negro at this universitV. lie is ac
corded official equality, takes the
same courses, patronizes tle same
(lining halls, uses the same student
clubs, and is allowved to try out for
athletic teams. There is no negro
on the football 'varsity, although
one, Cable, is on the sluad. Much
speculation was aroused here as to
the possibility of an attempt by the
Harvard tea iii to use Cable in the
Vanderbilt game, but I ant sure
I larvard will always so recognize
the tone of Southern teams as not
to (1o suclh. There are at least four
negroes in the law departm-lent.
As to college spirit there is little
here of the type we are used to in
the South. At the earlier football
ganies no cheering was had at all
by 1 larvard, although more interest
is shown at the later, larger con
tests. Ilarvard has one yell, the
energy )einigc expended on their
songs. of which they have a splen
did collection.
A word as to the type of
law student here. Virtually every
other man one meets seems to
be the first honor graduate of sonic
college or university: thle depart
mtent is a veryv "clearing house for
(lie selected b)rainis of our country."
Temen colme from everywvhere
in thle United States and several
from abroad.
Let tme congratulate the GAME
coc K upon its preCsent snappy, tnew
sy aperne All the Carolina
mren here send( greetings and esteem
to t he Utniversity.
Very truly,
F. Wm. Cappeltmann.

Flinn hall wvill not interfere with the
operation of the Coeg cae
Poe-em of Passion.
By C. F. LUMMIS.
It was many and many a year ago,
On an island near .the sea,
That a maiden liverl' whom you
mightn't knoW
By the name of Cannibalee;
.\nd this maiden, she lived with no
other thought
Than a lassioiate fondness for
me.
I was a child and she was a child
Tho' her tastes were adult Fijce
Iit she loved with a love that was
more than love,
My yearning Cannibajee,
With a love that could take me roast
or fried
Or raw, as the case might be.
.\n1d that is the re-ison that long ago,
Tn that island near the sea,
I had to turn the tables and eat
l v ardent Cannibalee
Not really bec-iuse I was fond of
her.
Bit tI check her fondness for me.
But the stars never rise but T think
4)f the size
Of my hot-potted Cannibalee.
.\nd the m14oon1 never stares but it
brings me nightmares
()f my spare rib Catnnibalee;
.\nd(1 all the night-tide she is restless
inside.
Is my still indigestible (linner
helle bride,
in her pallid tomb, which is me,
[In her solemn sepulcher, me.
