To the majority of ug, howev er, to those who care more for their personal corpfort than, for past performances, this reform is most gratifying, and it is this majority that, is loudly praising the results achieved. Certain, it is that'for the present, at any rate, steam heat fills a very de sirable need in oui- progressive work. ANCESTOR WORSHIP. Here at Carolina we ure trying to do what so many other South ern colleges have tried to do; that is, "to live an impossible present upon a glorious past." We have been ardent and faithful wor shipers at the shrine of memory and of fame; we have reared our proudest structures upon the moss-covered vaults of those who went before us and we have attempted to reconcile modern conditions with ancient goods. Doubtless this is all very good, very true -and very noble. We have an heritage as proud as any institution of learning in the United States. In those days when, the Master of Monticello hitched his own- horse at the hitching post of the White House; in those days when the chival rous heart of the South reflected itself in its'feudal like oligarchy, when brocade, damask and broad cloth swept the ancestral halls, when love and life ran free and high and men and women danc ed gaily to the music of life's dance, in those days it was that the fame of the University of the Palmetto State was highest and her praises were sung in cabin and in the White House, by lowly plowmen and the -head of the nation. Then it was that Cooper, the Liebers, the Lecontes and those other great teachers In this ins'titution pour ed out the fountains of their comprehensive knowledge.. But the days of '61 seemed to have had a blighting influence up6n us. Never have we regain ed our pristine glory, Never since then has our standard vfaved so triumphantly in the clear breeze of victory and no more is the name of Carolina a byword and a talisman to the people of the United States. It i4,.g ut,ou4,~iee, end o the Jn'vrait ce mdre th60Ofty pedestal wher-e ee io stood: Here there, r ay be no Calhouns, -o- McDufies, rid Le gares bit there are loyal sons of South Ceolina. Itis to us' that the waving,banner bokons. We need no great leaddnr t. cheer ud with his, presences. Youth is ours, strength is ours, hope is ours and with these three quali fications any road\is open to us. We must succeed! The memory of our sires demands it. If we 'but gird on the armor for the conflict,. if we but enter that conflict with the firm and avowed purpose of victory, the, laurel chaplet will rest upon our brows before the sun of even our lives 'has set. And therefore it behooves us at present to begin this mighty *ork. Not iti the ditfn ' 4d dis tant future but in the great and mighty NOW. Such opportuni ties come but once in a lifetime. Shall we fail to grasp this oppor tunity and leave it to others to achieve where we have failed? If we do,. then shall we be un worthy the name of loyal Caro linians.
