University of South Carolina Libraries
UNIVERSITY'S NEEDS Appropriations Requested of the Legislature Discussed. The urgent need of a larger appropriation for the University is recognized by anyone who vis its the campus. The student body is 'larger than ever before in the history of the institution, the enrollment for the second term being about 535. This in crease in number will necessitate greater elass room and dormi tory accomodation. The school of education is bad ly in need of better quarters and equipment. The faculty of this department unites with the board of trustees for an appropriation of $17,000. The law school has grown very much within the past few years. This year the enrollment is over ninety. Of this number seventy are college graduates. At pres ent the law classes meet in a dingy room of a dormitory built long before the war. This class room is poorly lighted and venti lated, and in regard to space, wholly inadequate. A law build ing with law library and class rooms is a crying need of that department. Without these fa cilities the efficiency of the de partment cannot be maintained. The Steward's Hall, which was extended last year, is still inad equate. This fact is shown by the number of students that are accomodated there. Out of 500 who attend the University not over half board at Steward's Hall. The heating plant, which was installed last year, reaches only two buildings on the campus. Economy, as well as convenience, demand that the system be ex tended to all buildings on the campus as soon as possible. Literary Societies Elect.

McMaster on "Insur ance as a Profession." Mr. Mc Master is South Carolina Com missioner of Insurance. Mr. McMaster began by defin ing a profe.s'oi as a work which involves mental rather than man ual labor. And no definite lines can be drawn between the va rious professions for the object of each is to serve mankind in its own way. So insurance is a profession in that those who en gage in the business contribute to the welfare of mankind. In deed, the speaker justified insur ance by saying that insurance is the fulfillment of that command given to all men, "Bear ye one another's burdens." The speaker then took up the various forms of insurance, ex plaining especially life and fire insurance. In discussing life in surance Mr. McMaster explained fully the State Life Fund law, which he advocates so strongly. He spoke of the evils that have existed in insurance and how they have been eliminated. He held that insurance is not a gambling scheme as some are prone to regard it, but that it is a great profession and that some of the most brilliant and influen tial men engage themselves in this profession. It is a profes sion which must give every man a square deal, the poor man as well' as the rich. He showed how the insurance companies are help ing the mauufacturers' employ. ees as well as the manufacturer. It was made clear that the far mer as well as the merchant en joys the benefits that insurance companies offer. In concluding Mr. McMastei stated that the insurance busi. ness is one in which great gooc can .be done, and insurance is a great profession when practicec fairly and Justly. Mr F. W. Cappelmann wil give the second lecture of the se ries next Wednesday evening al 7:15 o'clock. Campusgrams. Tommy Gilland has re-entered the University. T. P. Hoger, Jr. has returned to Carolina.
