WOULD STOP PROFANITY IN STUDENT MEETINGS P. K. Smith Calls Attention to Useless Language Employed in Vigorous Discussions. To the Editor of The Gamecock: From what I can learn, for a long while the students of the University, through their invet erate slackness, have tolerated the profanity so freely indulged in at the student body meetings. What does a man come to col lege for? Not only does he come to college to learn from text books, but he comes to develop the highest culture and refine ment. The new man takes very few of his notes of cultural edu cation from text books and pro fessors, but receives nine-tenths of his culture from his fellow students, and especially the stu dent leaders. When the leaders deviate from the hightest path of refinement and self-respect, it minimizes and shatters the ideals of new men and of those men who particularly look up to the leaders for examples. So have. a few of our leaders deviated too much. How many of our most forward men addressed the stu dent body with -no less than I twenty per cent of their vocabu 't.'Y consisting of profanity?

Depressing, to say the least, the effect of "football" profanity, in the student assemblages, must be on the moral and ambitious first year man; and should be just as repulsive to the upper class men who have the proper respect i- thinselves and those at home. r mn the floor comes not p>m .,sion. but from mere shortage )i vocabulary. When a man gets upon the floor and profanity begins at intervals to emanate from his lips, you can spot him as a man without a sufficient hold on Noah Webster's book to express his thoughts, and, also, as a man who uses his cursing vocabulary for emphasis. \Vhat about the man who hails from a godly home and has been taught to turn his back on pro fanity? He is in all probability going to think that this indul gence is all right because his fel lowv collegians are the offenders. I had a friend, a graduate of Le land Stanford, to tell me the other (lay that he led a straight life, while at college, and in higher athletics, for the express purp~ose of setting good examples for the men who looked up to him.
