Now is the call of the Turtle
taub heard abroad in the land.

son's colors are purple and YEL
LOW.

Clemson has to come to the
fair. We have them with us
always.
As to that game, we should
worry a dam site and build a
mill on it.
Some guy remarked that the
two co-eds in first math were a
good pair of Carolina supporters.

We would like to ask the co-eds,
who in class are never "here"
but "present," why the circum
locution ?
Did you notice that the num
ber of brass buttoned cadets who
receive smiles from our co-edu
cation department was about as
small as the gathering of Con
federate veterans at the Sher
man memorial exercises? Some
spirit in that gazelle-eyed,
creamy complexioned bunch, eh?
It's a lead pipe cinch that
somebody put the go in Goings.
Can it be possible that Monte
Garlo has a branch office for col
ored gents in the president's
hack yard?

ADIEU
With this issue the present staff
bows its adieu to the patrons of
The Gamecock. We lay down
the editorial pen.with a feeling
of relief mingled strongly with
regret. Work on the paper has
been filled withpleasure and been
teeming with anxiety. We feel
that we have filled the editor's
chair without credit to ourselves
or to the paper but we conscien
I tiously say that we, have done
our best.
The Gamecock is fortunate in
having as its next editor a man
of recognized literary ability and
it is with a feeling of confidence
that we turn over to him the
sheet from which we have deriv
ed so much pleasure and profit.
EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR
An exhibit of the University
of South Carolina at the State
Fair was conspicuous for its ab
sence. Clemson College was ad
vertised in every nook and cor
ner of the Fair Grounds. The
fact that this has, been the case
for several years doubtless in
some measure accounts for the
rapid increase in the number of
freshman registering each year
at that institution, while the in
crease at Carolina has not been
near so large. It is only natural
that people gathered at the fair
and seeing Clemson on every
hand with never so much as an
intimation of the University's ex
istence, are influenced in favor
of the more prominent college.
It is true that the Agricultural
and Mechanical College has the
better of the University in ma
terial to exhibit. The concrete
results of their manual classes
are things that can be exhibited.
But while the University has no
such finished products there
must be something brought out
on the campus that could go to
make a booth at the fair. Why
could not the bulletins gotten
out by the University from time
to time be arranged in some
attractive way and distributed
widely among the sight-seers?
Such bulletins as that written by
Dr. Mitchell on "The Ideal of
The State University" and the
one by Prof. Holmes on "Good
Roads" would preset to the
people the University in one of
its most importat phases.
We realize the tardiness of
this editorial, but in spite of its
being late for this year we hope
that at the next fair the Uni
versity will not be entirely out
of sight.
AN EDUCATED MAN
Every man who enters the
University has some kind of ideal
before him, some purpose which
he means to accomplish during
his stay on the campus. Some
men make the obtaining of a de
efforts, others come for athletic
honors, others reputation in ora.
tory, others literary attainmeni
and still others come for an edu
cation. The latter aim is the no
blest a college man can have.
Education does not consist of
knowledge mined from the bed.
rock of text books 4r gleaned
from the lectures of' class room.
It is a composite experience
which, as far as the University
student is concerned, can only
be obtained from the combinatior
of various phases of college life.
In our opinion the man who con
fines himself to study and comes
out at the head of his class will
not be as well educated as the
man who broadens out into the
many parts of college life and
stands fifteenth.
We would not encourage any
man to neglect his class work, but
no more would we wish to in.
fluence him in placing this class
work within a sacred shrine and
holding it above all other things.
Class duties should not clair
more than half of a student's
attention. This is their due,
their pound of flesh, and the
rest of his attention should be
paid to the more practical and
equally important side of educa
tion.
Let this other half be taken up
by society, in its broad and nar
rower senses; athletics, literary
work, literary societies, the the
ater, and other phases of student
life, and the man will come out
of college a broader, more well
rounded man than he would ii
he paid undue attention to aca
demic work.
THE LADIES OF THE CAMPUS
The co-eds of the university are
not as integral a part of the in
stitution as they should be. They
take part in too few p1 a,es of
university life. Having no organi
zation of their own and being as
sociated in very few things with
the male constituent of the stu
dent body, the young ladies are
not members of the student body;
they are merely students at the
university.
The Gamecock feels that the
co-eds should show more Caroline
spirit. They should attend the
football games and other athletic
events less infrequently than they
do. Some years ago there was a
regular literary society for co.
eds. We would indeed like to set
this old custom revived. But i
their minds do not turn to litera
ry themes, it would not be a bad
idea for them to organize in some
way, say a sewing circle, a gos
sip club, a suffragette convention,
or one of the other usual excuses
ladies of the present time use for
convening and discussing the la.
test modes, etc.
There is just one thing more
we would like to mention here,
The Gamecock and The Caro.
linian receied hardly a sinh
subscription from the ladies who

This shows markec' indifference
to the march of e- ents on the
campus.

on the campus. We 'mrl.v wi'

the members of th ''female. de

(This editorial was written be
fore the Clemson grme, and we
are glad to see that one of its
suggestions was carried out on
Thursday. The young ladies are
to be highly commended for at
tending the Clemson game in a
body and for sitting in the Car
olina reserved section of the
bleachers. This action showed
true loyalty to Carolina, and we
hope it is the beginning of what
will be a custom in lhe future.)
