It is with a feeling somewhat akin to sor row that we lay down our pens, step out of the editorial sanc tum and bid the incoming staff: "Hail, brethren, may success crown your efforts." We have endeavored to ex press in these pages all the news of the University. We have at tempted to express the concen sus of opinion of the majority of the men on this campus. So far as lay within our power we have attempted to correct some of the evils that exist on this campus. We have not endeavored to go outside the realm of collegiate life because we believed that it was the duty of a college paper to express the collegiate thoughts, ideas and ideals. We have at tempted to make The Gamecock as interesting as possible. If we have failed of our aim, we can but say, we did our best; if we have succeeded, in our success lies our reward. However that may be, we bid farewell. Farewell to the pleasure and sorrow of it all, the wine and vinegar, that is ever the portion of those who dwell in the domains of the fourth es tate. Farewell to all this, and -to you incoming staff, Hail! May success crown your efforts and may glory place the laurel chap let on thy brow. Once and for all we turn our backs upon the mass of copy and cry with the sweet est of Roman lyricists, "Atque in perpetrutn, frater, Ave atque Vale." SOCIETY WORK. ?orthe-pst two.oree ye we;have ditard y;: ie cib. Euphradian and Clariosophic, be moaning the fact that the two societies are not doing the amount of work that they , shoUld do. This may be tru',; but 'there is still no reason why' these men should not do the work and bring the societies back to their pristine glory. These two insti tutions of the college are too old, too highly respected and too se cure to sway at the knocks. of some procrastinating fellows who would not give a good word for the best of all affairs. It is not true that the societies are,not accomplishing their pur pose. There has never been a time in the history of the college when they .have exerted more in fluence than at the present time. It should be the desire of every member of the two societies to do their utmost to rear them still higher on their pinnacles of glory. EXAMINATION TIME. Well, here we are all back, ready' to start the same old weary grind. Doubtless it is with heavy hearts that most of us return. We know that the parting kiss she gave us bound her to us for ever and a day; that she will be ours till the sands of the desert grow cold and that she doesn't care so much about education; all she wants is us. But, these woes and wailings, this burden so heavy to bear is a crip compared to the one we are going to run up against in about two weeks. The day of judg ment approaches. Servant are ye ready? Examination time draws on apace. Once more in the hall of learning, the glow of the mid night lamp lights the weary toil er on his way toward the Pierian spring. Even in that secluded spot, where learning has hereto fore been a crime, Monte Carlo, the wind brings premonitory whispers of impending doom. In those chambers of iriquisi tion the professional sanctums, the executioners are preparing their most fiendish implements of torture, and their ghoulish laughter fills the nights and days with awful sounds as they float over the poor victims of their deadly skill. Watchman what of the night? Now is the time for all good men to cast aside the flesh-pots of Egypt, to look no more on the wine that is red, to draw the veil of seclusion about their august heads and to retire into the shades of the past, to delve out the lore of Xenophon, of Aeschylus; to find 0 Quie'ites why one Catiline is guilty of high crime and mis demeanor, to travel the light some course of the banque of Petiojus, to elucidate - wher,g, a otf Corneille wa ,ujiiy io 1l ar emj 'to 'weep o 8r'the e ro* "f "melia Gallotti' and to climb through the 4 z nioun tains with Heinricleinez, to 4iscover' wherein 'the Assize 'of .larendob affected the popula tion of Charleston, to laugh with Fallataff, sigh with Ophelia, plot with lago, slay with Othello, to help unravel the tangled skein of "Childe Harold to - the Dark Tower Came," to take Vee-nial trips thro'the Pleistocene period, to illustrate the principle of Ar chimides, to resolve H20 into its component elements, and thefe are even some poor, deluded, misguided mortals who are re solved to track the demon X ino his lair and slay him withoht mercy. To each and every one of these, we send our heartfelt sympathy. With them we throw ourselves upon the footstool of mercy, turn our backs upon the gilded paths of procrastination and join our still small voice to the mighty chorus, "Lords, bs ,x erciful to us poor sinners."
