BASKETBALL TEAM ROUNDING INTO FORM Last Year's Varsity and Many New Men Out. Attractive Schedule Has Been Ar ranged by Manager Greenfield. Season Opens Jan. 8. Basketball is the center of athletic interest, now that football is no more. The squad works out strong every afternoon under the instruc tion of Coach Driver, who is round ing the men into shape for the com ing season, which will open on January 8, 1913, with a trip into North Carolina and Virginia. The Schedule. Manager Greenfield has only been able to partially map out the sea son's schedule. Wofford will be met in Spartanburg January 8, Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the 9th, Washington and Lee and V. M. I. at Lexington, Va., the 1oth and i th. Clemson will probably play here about the 5th of February, and a return game will be given Wofford during the sea son. Newberry and Davidson, though no dates have yet been set, will find places in the list. It is rather unfortunate that the Virginia trip falls so near the holidays and examinations, but no other dates could be arranged. Coach Driver is working the squad hard and every afternoon sees a lively scrimmage. The practices are fast and snappy and show lots of pep and ginger. Every manl seems determined to cop a varsity job. Old Heads Back. All of last year's varsity is back and from present indications the team will be practically the same as last year's. Capt. Rhea and -anahan are back on the job as forwards and are showing good form in goal throniing and field work. Poole, last year's center, is showving the goods in the same 01(1 way, and Stoney, Fitzmaurice and Danner are fighting to win out as guardls. Dick Reeves, Elmer Wa ing and Seay are pushing for posi tions. Good material is found also in Brohun, Carey, Boling and Dunn. Everybody is showving more in terest in basketball this year than ever before, and the presence of a few fellows on the sidle lines each afternoon shows that this interest is not confined to the squad. The fellows as a wvhole are realizing that b)asketb)all isn't exactly a "sissy". game. They are seeing that it savors somewhat of football and( is a pretty vigorous kind of exercise, after all. Chancellor Barrow Speaks in Chapel. A brief history of the origin and growth of the modern university was given in the chapel Monday morning by Chancellor Barrow of the University of Georgia who was in the city acting on the Rhodes scholarship committee. The speaker showed that the uni versity has existed since Biblical times and spoke of the college edu cation of some characters mentioned in the Bible. The idea of the uni versity which prevailed at that time was a place of learning where the individual acquired physical and mental development and a high de gree of culture. The purpose of the university was limited in that it looked to the perfection of the individual who came within its in fluence without attempting to make of him an agent for social good. \Vith the prevalence of the Chris tian ideal of service the university fell into line, realizing that it had failed of its purpose if it had not created a spirit of altruism in the mind of the student. This, said the speaker, is the high ideal of the modern university. President's House. This house, at the head of the campus, was erected in 1807 at a cost of $8,ooo, according to the plans of Captain Wade. Porticoes were added in the front and rear, and the roof was raised in 1856 in accordance with Mr. Niernsee's plans. The original front can be seen in the picture of the campus about 1820 now in the library. The presidents of the university have made their homes in this build ing. In 1863 and 1864 Mr. Daniel Heyward rented it from the college authorities. When Sherman reached Columbia it was occupied by the chief surgeon of the hospital-the college buildings had been used for a general hospital from June 25, 1862. After the burning of Colum bia this house became the home first of Mr. W. F. DeSaussure, then of other homeless citizens. When the university was established in i866 Professors Sachtleben, Darby and Melton lived here. It was rented by the radicals for ninety-nine years to the normal school authorities, who used it in connection with Rutledge College for a normal school. Presi (lent WV. Porcher Miles occupied it after the reopening of the institution in 188o. A fter President Miles Dr. WV. B. Burney lived in it for one year. Since 1883 the presidents have lived here.
