VOL. VI. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., FEBRUARY 8, 1913. No. 15. CAROLINA MOPPED UP WITH CLEMSOM TIGERS Gamecocks Romp Away With Basketball Championship. 39 to 18 Was Score of Furious Fight Between Rival Beasts. The Stars. Clemson looked like a Friday's hash at a side street boarding house after the basketball tussle in the Carolina gymnasium Thursday night. The game was maneuvered with lightning speed all the time, every point being fought for. Things were pushed into high gear around the baskets, for Clemson's guards were there with the preventa tive measures, and shot with some success. Kangeter and John Erwin were probably the best of the Tiger quintet, Kangeter getting into effec tive wrestles many times. Jim Rhea, with his characteristic speed and accuracy, made brilliant passes and shots time after time. Burnett Stoney was rampant about the bas kets, always there with the physical force as well as the skill. Hanahan got away with some grandstand dribbling in all parts of the game. The first half saw Carolina with 14 to Clemson's 9. In the second the Gamecocks came stronger still, until there was little left to the vis itors. Clemson has had a wonderful season, having won all games but this, in which she forfeited also the State championship. The team went to Atlanta Friday morning.

Mitchell, their presi dent, was adopted by a unanimous vote. The resolutions were sent to Dr. Mitchell by the student body. They are as follows: "University Campus, Feb. 5, 1913. "Dr. S. C. Mitchell, President Uni versity of South Carolina: "Whereas charges intended to be serious have been preferred against you by one high in authority, and have brought upon you the unpleas ant notoriety of being summoned before a legislative investigating committee, and "Whereas it is the unanimous and enthusiastic opinion of the student body of the University of South Carolina -that these charges were made for the purpose of bringing about legislation adverse to the uni versity, and "Whereas we know that your conduct throughout in reference to the Peabody fund has been open and above board, and determined by a purpose to upbuild not only the uni versity but the entire educational system of the State: "We, the students of the Univer sity of South Carolina, wish to cx press to you our absolute confidence in your management of the univer sity, our loyalty to you and our un bounded admiration for the work which you are doing against opposi tion that would discourage others; firmly believing that you will be shortly and speedily vindicated be fore the thinking people of the State and that your good work will con tinue unimpaired.

CAROLINIAN CRITICISM BY ACADEMIC JUNIOR General Review of Our Literary Mag azine-The February Number. In comparing the issue of The Carolinian of the month of January with both that of January 12 and November, it appears that the for mer is a trifle lacking in number of contributions. But every one ought to know that it is quality first, quan tity afterward, that we must have; just as in golf, it is "direction first, then distance." So, everything con sidered, there should be no adverse criticism in that respect. To begin at the beginning, the splendidly gotten up picture of our beloved Dr. Wauchope makes up in every particular for the lack of the picture of the team that beat Clem son found in the November issue. The sketch of the life, achievements and influence of the head of our School of English is not only the most accurate and enlightening un dertakings of its kind that has ap peared recently, but it gives that keen insight into the writer's own philosophy and portrays vividly the subtle and otherwise latent tie that binds the writer to his favorite pro fessor. The eight and ten-line stanzas which together compose the impres sionistic little poem entitled "Barren is the Winter," undoubtedly lack something in their versification, as well as a complete omission of "the good old summer time." Otherwise if might be almost comparable to Thompson's "Seasons"; so for fear that the unknown author will take this too seriously, may it he added that such lines as: "The wet, wild, brown leaves to and fro" remind one very forcibly of the strong, homely, Anglo-Saxon lines of Shakspere; while "Let the leaf he (lank, and the white mist grope" savors not a little of that king of "Beauty in Sound" Edgar Allan Poe. "The Sacrifice on Granite Shelf", by John Stuart Dudley, is a little story for any college man to be p)roudl of, and for any college pub lication to seek after. It contains more local color and better dialect than anything yet seen in The Caro linian.

Dr. Mitchell's Progressive Adminis tration Has Pushed Enroll ment Steadily. "The university passed her 500 mark yesterday," was the statement made by Dr. Mitchell in chapel Tuesday morning. This is the larg est enrollment in the history of the university, and as the second term has just begun it is hoped that the number will still be increased. The progress has been gradual and con stant for the past five years. In 1912 there were 443 students enrolled; in 1911, 416; in 1910, 340; inl 1909, 298, and in 1908, 278. As regards the particular schools the law school has made a greater increase than any other. In 1906 there were only 28 students enrolled in this depart ment, whereas now we have 97 en rolled. This great increase in the differ ent departments is largely due to Dr. Mitchell's wise and progressive administration. When he first took up the duties of president four years ago there were only 298 students, whereas now we have over 500. This shows an increase of over 40 per cent. (luring his administration. Not only has he been the means of increasing the enrollment, but through his aid the courses have been extended and enriched, more professors have been added to the list and better facilities for study have been intro(luced. The univer sity is now offering a helping hand to the people throughout the State as never before. The professors of the various departments are always willing and readv to serve the peo ple of the State by giving practical lectures on the vital subjects of the day. Practical bulletins on subjects such as good roads, public health, common schools and better farming are pllblishled and (listributed throughout the State by the univer sity. The finishing touches have been put on the new (dormitory and( already the building is filled. Thlere was a r-ush for the nlew roonms and( nmuch rejoicing by the lucky ones. The nleedIs of the other buildinigs hav'e been emph)lasIized by the con veniences of the new building, wvhich is clean, bright and airy, andl whichi p)rovidles for the comfort and hecalth of the stuldents inl every wney
