VALE.
With this issue the present
staff gives up the duties of edit
ing The Gamecock. 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."
