VoL. VII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., FEBRUARY 21, 1914. No. 18
APPROPRIATION BILL IS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Passed Entire as Committee
Had Recommended.
Total Appropriation is About
$2,000 Less Than That
of Last Year.
After standing a bombardment
of amendments aimed at most of
its principal provisions; the por
tion of the Appropriation hill
containing the items for the Uni
versity of South Carolina, carry
ing a total of $134,931. 19, passed
the House and is now on the cal
endar of the Senate. The Senate
will make such changes as it sees
fit, and after these are thrashed
out in a committee of free confer
ence the bill will go to the gov
ernor.
The most interesting item in
the bill is -the one making
provision for the erection of a
$4O,Ou0 law building. The move
menit to get a modern law school
on the campus was begun three
years ago by the law class of
1912. The enthusiasm that
marked the launching of the
project did not all die out and to
thes" early organizers belongs
much of the credit for the appro
priation of the present sum. It
was pointed out on the floor of
the IHouse that although the law
school has over 1O() members, it
has only one class room, and this
is old and shabby in the extreme.
h'lhe fact there is only one class
room makes it almost impossible
to arrange a satisfactory sched
ile, this being especially trouble
Sme1 during examinations. The
law school has grown faster than
any other lelartment of the Uni
versity during the past few years
without any increase whatever
either in iaculty or equipment.
$4, 74() is appropriated - for the
im)rovement of the mess hail.
This money will be used to com
plete the program of enlargement
and improvement begun last
year.
Provision was made for an
additional instructor in the de
partment of Civil Engineering.
Thllis instructor will probably be
one of the graduates of the de
partment and will enter upon his
duties next year.
In an added provision the trus
tees are empoweredl to receive
any gifts or bequests that might
be madle to the University in the
next year. It is providled, how
ev er, that nothing shall be re
ceivedl entailing' an add(itlonal

Point Towards the State
Championship.'
Last Saturday night in the

was hard fought from the start.
At the end of the first half the
score stood Carolina 12, Furman
I ten. But in the second half
Furman weakened, while Caro
lina showed great improvement
and rolled up points with com
parative ease.
Both teams seemed abou t even
ly balanced; none excelled their
teammates very materially, al
though Drake did good work for
the Furmanites, and in the last
few minutes of the game Brooker
did some beautiful goal throwing
for the Gamecocks.
The teamlis lined up as follows:

DR. N. B. EDGERTON
ADDRESSES Y. M. C. A.
Makes Interesting Address
on Medicine.
Says Medical World Needs Men
Who are Studious and Well
Prepared.
Dr. N. B. Edgerton gave the
third of the great life-work lec
tures before the University Y.
M. C. A. Wednesday night. He
spoke on the practice of medicine
as a life work.
Dr. Edgerton said: In the
study of medicine, one must
throw himself with all the enthu
siasm that he can muster into
the prof'ession, working continu
ally; in other words to get a run
ning start and keep it up. lie
mentioned the fact that there
were 277 medical colleges in the
civilized world, 112 of which are
situated in the United States.
In these co leges are many men
who are insufliciently prepared.
Likewise among the practicing
physicians there are many who
re not sl(liuiently preparedl.
They, said he, have not the pow
;'r of figuring things out for
themselves, and in order to make
a living, many become quacks.
He continued: Medicine is an
art and a science. An art be
;-ause it relates to something to
be done, and a science because it
relates to something to be known.
Because there is something to be
lone and something to be known
all the time, men must be stu
diouls not only in college but even
more so in after life.
It takes five years of prepara
tion to become a thorough eluip
ped doctor, four in college and
,ne in the hospital. There is no
Dther profession with more ave
nues for doing good. There are
always olportulnities for doing
gLood open to the physician some
times closed to others.
He conparel the field of medi
,ine to the rolling equipment of
a railroad, saying that many doc
tors were nothing more than box
ears to he thrown into the trash
heap when they were no longer
useful; others, he said, were as
passenger coaches, others as
piullman cars, while still others
were magnificent steam engines,
really (loing things in the field of
medicine. These last named1 are
he k(ind that the medlical profes
sion needs. HeI mentioned the
commonly known quacks as the
kind that medicine does not needl.
BASEBALL PRACTICE
BEGINS WITH A VIM
Artists of the Diamond Cover
Davis Field.
Many Men, Old and New, Out
for a Place on the Team
Uniforms Ordered.
Regular baseball practice be
gan Wednesday afternoon with
about thirty-five men on the field.
Coach Guerrant gave a call for
the candidates in a talk before
the student body Monday morn
ing. He said that no one on the
team ever has his place cinched,
under him, and the man with the
goods is the man who will get a
place. He mentioned the fact
that at least eight varsity men
will not return to Carolina next
year, and for the team of next
year material must be developed
this season.
Carolina is fortunate in having
a number of old varsity men in
school. Fritz Vonkolnitz will
play his third stellar season at
Carolina this yer.' Pig .John
Mills, and "Babe" Adams, both
varsity pitchers of last year, will
be on hand to do their share of
the twirling; Capt. Edens, Shul
er. Rudisill, and Horton, of last
years infield; Watts, Barksdale,
McGowan, and Langston, of the
outfield, are all eagei' for the
fray. Many new men on the
field give promise of making
some one hustle for a job.
Uniforms for the team have
been ordered. The material is
white with a black pin stripe.
The sleeves are three quarter
length piped in garnet. The V
neck is garnet. On the front of
the shirt is a gamecock done in
garnet, and a garnet C is on the
sleeve. The stockings are black
with a deep garnet stripe, and
the caps are black. The coat
sweaters, roll collar style, are
deep garnet, and some of them
have the black English C, which
is given to those making their
letter in baseball. Those with
the C on them will be worn by
men who have formerly made
their letters.
It is exactly a month from
Monday before the first game of
the season with Lafayette. La
fayette always has a strong team,
but we also have a few ba!l
play'ers and they are going to
have a job) on their handls when
they tackle the Gamecocks on
March 23.
