Letter from Dr. Joynes.
Editor of TiE GAMECOCK:
Only last night I mailed you a
postal card, regretting that since
Dec. 14 I had received but'one copy
of THE GAMECOCK, and begging
that the omissions might be supplied.
This morning, Feb. 5, I received the
issue of Feb. i. I cannot afford to
miss TiE GAMECOCK. I read it
with pleasure for its literary interest,
and with respect, as the expression
of the sentiment and opinion of our
student body, which is an important
factor in the life of our university.
I hope to receive the paper more reg
ularly hereafter. In Rostand's great
play, "The Chanticler," the game
cock imagined that his crow "made
the sun rise." While our "GAME
COCK" cannot claim so august a func
tion, it is at least a voice of cheer,
and a note of warning, which we
cannot afford to neglect.
In the issue of Feb. 1st, which has
just reached me, there are two arti
cles, of kindred character, which I
wish especially to commend.
The first is the regret, expressed
by the editor, at the "poor show"
made by the faculty in .the great
parade of last week. I am, as you
know, physically unable to walk in
such a procession, but from a car I
noticed this slim attendance, as oth
ers doubtless did. Your criticism is
well taken, and I hope that every
member of the faculty who was not
present, unless detained by other im
perative duty-will consult his own
conscience. How can we expect
the students to represent, on such oc
casions, the dignity and the power
of the university if the faculty does
not set them the example?
Especially would I also commend
the editorial on "The Personal Con
tact Business." It is greatly to be
regretted that there is not-I know
not why-that frequent and close
personal contact and association be
tween students and our teachers,
which would be so good for both and
so helpful to the life and influence of
the university itself. It is the great
est regret of my old age that in my
retirement I am cut off from that
personal acquaintance and associa
tiop with students in which I once
so much delighted. Therefore, it is
that I am pleased that they should
seek me, wvhenever I may offer coun
sel or assistance. I have no greater
pleasure than such calls-they help
to keep me from growving older, by
renewving my sympathy with youth
and life.
,Your editorial on this subject is
p)ertinent andl opportune. I may
venture to adId that the first approach
to a closer association must come
from the p)rofessors themselves, as
students naturally shrink from such
ap)proach, unless invited. Yet it
wvouldl be unjust not to add that one
cause of this seeming professional
seclusion is the excessive amount of
the faculty. Yet, I am sure, there
is not one of them who would net
welcome the opportunity of la.cger
personal contact with our students.
Let us hope, Mr. Editor, for more
favorable conditions hereafter;, and
meantime, let us all read, aid' heed,
THE GAMECOCK.
Respectfully,
Edward S. joynes,
Professor Emeritus.

The many friends of H. C.
Brearley will be sorry to learn that
he had to discontinue his second
term studies oin account of trouble
with his eyes. Mr. Brearley was a
good student, and took part in every
phase of college life during his stay
here. He was a member of the Soph
omore class, and has been on the
staff of THE GAMECOCK since the
first part of his freshman year. He
will be missed both by the faculty
and students, and will be welcomed
back at the beginning of next ses
sion. -
