The University Press is bust
getting out the second edition of
Dr. Reed Smith's "The Participle
and Infinitive in -Ing." This val
uable monograph has attracted
considerable interest among stu
dents of English grammar, and
the demand for it has exhausted
the first edition of 3,000 copies.
Certainly there is every reason
why C. F. W. should be incor
porated.as a part of the Univer
sity. The University should em
brace in its scope every young
woman of the state, and not leave
that task.to the Individual stu
dents, though we are willing to
do our part.

Dr. Reed Smith, of the de
partment of English, is prepar
ing a treatise entitled "Written
Analysis." The University will
issue it as an extension bulletin.
It is believed that "Written
Analysis" will be as great an ad

ture as Dr. Smith's former bul
letin, "The Participle and Infini
tive in -Ing."
The first name of the hero of

tem we intend to;:'a our power
of the press. The Gamecock is
of course a Unive'ity publica
tion and It is only with -Universi
ty problems that we shall attempt
to deal.' We shall not advocate
iconoclastie' measures nor shall
we attempt to reform the cam
pus. The old e+llege is pretty
good still, without any of us try
ing to give it a black eye by
howling bloody murder. If there
is any reform which seems nec
essary, of course. we shall advo
cate it, and if one wishes to use
the -pages of The Gamecock in a
legitimate way, the privilege is
always open, to' him. We a1l
attempt to'give the best of col
lege news and to present it in a
manner interesting not only to
the men on the campus but to
alumni and outsiders as well.
"COLLEGE SPIRIT."
We have heard much of college
spirit since we have been in col
lege and have attempted to ana
lyze it. But we found this im
possible. College spirit is too
broad, too general a term to be
defined or inclosed in any set fig
ure of speech.. The other night,
however, we saw a splendid ex
ample of college spirit. It was
the noble self-sacrifice of a man
who stayed from beginning to
end of the Davidson preliminary
and who DIDN'T HAVE TO. When
8 o'clock, the hour to commence
hostilities, came, this gentleman
was on hand. The first speaker
arose and held forth. The gen
tleman gazed and. listened.
Came Dean Baker and Prof.
Rucker. Dean Baker was snag
ged to keep time upon the speak
ers. The second speaker pre
sented his views to the broad em
pyreau. Prof. Rucker rose and
slipped through the door. Dean
Baker and the judges gazed aft
er him with lacklustre faces and
sorrowing eyes. Ah, Liberty,
how sweet thou art! Once mnore
brilliant apostrophes sounded
through the chamber. An at
mosphere of somnolence descend

who had college spirit and who
Was not a contestant sat and lis
terred with rapt attention and
eyes fastene'd on each speaker.
All during that trying period of
one hour and forty minutes' that
gentleman endured the pain of
being an auditor and even seem
