Ah! the Freshness of it all. Now for that fencing match on Davis Field. * ** At least, "The Gamecock" has a good Crow to it this term. If Professor Snowden taught him, would it make budweiser? The slow-moving current of history taught by example; see Dudley. * ** It is certain that Miss McClin tock is the one who put "gal" in gallery. We've warned you Sophomores in advance: war, after all, is only second history. ,: * * Even the gods have no pity on the freshmen. It rained during their first class meeting. * ** There will be no grandstand plays on Davis Field this year, unless something is done about the grandstand. * ** It appears that Going's car wvas going the other night. But you cannot blame the car, it only takes after it's owner. * ** A long, harsh wvhine, a flash of light, and then a bloody con flict. What! German machine guns in action at night? No; would it were, dear friend. But its only fighting mosquitoes at ~3 A. M OUR NEW PRESIDENT. Although our new president has been with us bd't a short time, we have already developed a fervent esteem and reverence for him. He has manifested interest in all college activities and has taken up his new work with considerable grace and ease. Every student who has yet had the pleasure of a personal inter view with Dr. Currell has been deeply impressed with his hearty handshake and broad, deep smile. He has seen written in the presidents' face sincerity and love backed by a steady will. For this, we venerate his name. To make this a memorable year in the history of Carolina we are but to manifest sympathetic cooperation with our new president. FOR CAROLINA'S SAKE. The student body as a whole is indebted to J. Stewart Dudley, who recently became officially connected with the University, in as much as he was the proposer of our new social system. - The formation of this plan, we might say, grew out of neces sity. The committee appointed by the student body last spring will have control of the social side of the students' college life. We firmly believe that since the students will know definitely what to expect when a social feature is posted, more will attend, conse quently a broader social life will prevail. Every student should pay the fee in order that admission to all the social functions be free. Th3 fee is small considering the ben efit the individual student shall find in the improved system. CROWING AT DAWN. In its crude but honest way The Gamecock extends a welcome to every student to the campus of this University whose horizon is studded with lives of some of our greatest men who have served our Southland and our Nation, and others who have just served honestly. Our Collegians, you whom we have associated with in the years gone by, we welcome again your faces to our view because we have grown to know you and to appreciate your presence. Some of us have but one more year to linger here, others two and still others three. Shall we not resolve that this shall be the cleanest and the most profitable year yet known in our college careers? You are needed, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors to take upon your selves the obligations and responsibilities that accompanies leader ships. To the freshmen and others who come to us from other institu tions, we open our doors to you, welcoming you to our various college organizations, welcoming you to our own hearts. We are proud of such a fine bunch of men and we know you will find this to be the best college you could have chosen. We are sure that you will find here a fellowship which is sweet and wholeserne and which will bind you each year. For the new men, who are now for the first time standing alone in the busy world, we admit there are temptations here whici they have not yet known. It will take determination and definiteness of character to avoid these enemies of statesmanship. Allow no one to lead where you would not dare be seen by those dearest to you. Refrain from resting your fortunes, either large or small, on frail Chance. When your mother blessed you with her good bye kiss that was the nearest she knew how to express her confidence in and her love for you. We admonish you not to forget the moral and religious training you have received in your home, but rather give ear to development along those lines in proportion to your mental and physical development. There is nothing gained if y< u star in the class room. on the athletic field or in the society halls, if your character is blasted by dissipation. And by all men who are really interested in your welfare, new man, will advise you to join the literary societies, the Y. M. C. A., and other organizations which tend to enlighten the students and to make them feel that college life is indeed worth wvhile. Football Schedule.
