We are grieved to hear of the i"ness of 0. K. McDaniel, a member of the class of '14, who has recently been taken to the McLeod Infirmary in Florence to undergo an operation for ap pendicitis. McDaniel had been engaged in teaehing in the Inman school just two weeks when he was taken sick, and was compelled to give up his work. During the sum mer he was with the music bunch in northern Iowa, where he worked manfully fos nearly two months. We want to assure our old "pal" that he has the sympathy and best wishes of those he left behind when he went out of thrse walls last spring. We wish for him a speedy recovery followed by a successful year in teaching. JUST THINK. The two Literary Societies con jointly have more than seventy five new men on their rolls. As far as our recollections reach back, this is the largest single enrollment the Societies have ever had. The largeness of the number, like giving money for charitable purposes,2 is not judg ed by the number already joined but by the number still out side the halls. We are still more suprised that there are more than one hundred men in this University who do not spend their Saturday evenings in the Society halls. All the old men of last year remember reading a letter by Dr. Edward S. Joynes, printed in these columns late in the session. In this letter he snpo,e of th Literary Societies as the pride of old South Carolina College and of the State at large. In this con nection he wrote: "Now, with the growth of the University, and especially with the broaden ing scope of modern education, in terest in the Literary Societies in stead of languishing, should in crease." We hope as the new men come into the halls they will feel free to "wax eloquent,'"seizing every opportunity to appear on the program. We might also add that it is incumbent upon the varsity mem bers to allow the initiants a chance, and to make the pro gram their highes interest. THE BIBLE CLASSES. The University has for many years had an instutition as one of its constituents to which a large majority of the men have not lent their friendliest and har tiest cooperation, and an organi zation with which many of the men have avoided affiliation. A divided house cannot stand. What would be the result if a single man on a debating team shirked his duty or failed to measure up to his duty; what would be the consequence should two or three men in a gridiron contest pull back or hinder? Sordid failure would be the in evitable sequel to such action. Fellows, so it is in each and every walk of life, however, trivial or mediocre. Cooperation is without a condition indespen sible to progaess. As it is well known we have this year a new Y. M. C. A. Secretary, who is truly a zealous worker. A man whose efforts and endeavours in our be half merit support. Mr. King has inaugerated a plan for hand ling Bible classes this term at our Association. In the last two years we have been operating Bible and Mission Study classes, and with some notable success, but the men failed to enroll lib erally. We want to make this session a recod breaking year for the Y. M. C. A., and to have no less one hundred and fifty in these classes. Some will advance the complaints that "I am to busy" or "haven't the time," but the classes adjourn at 8:15 o'clock, meeting immedi ately after supper. Very few men begin studying before 8:15 o'clock. To come in a claas fol lowing supper and spend a free discussion for a short time on the Blble will be broadening and edifying. Some will object to taking part in that no credit is given for same, but does a man come to college for credits alone-they are insignificant to your training-no, he is here for profitable instructoin, it matters not from whence or where it W' A "sheepskin' I show the got, but his brali D show the value "sheepskin-" Ad o in' alone cant quality an* pop1 but VELVET'S 4 . does give us son to advertise.7 VELVET, The Smoothest -'s Burley de Luxe with , .10c tins and 5c mel a E! = PINFEATHERS At last they have Usher-ed in their president.

We're going to make a grand stand on Davis Field, and that's an end of it. It's glorious to be a Freshmen: one may even nominate himself for an office. There is one blessed thing about being a Freshman: just step up to chapel and you can get a free bath. Judging by the number of their meetings the Freshmen must have as their motto "In union there is strength." In looking over the psychology class we notice that some of the men who had Morse last year now have remorse. The Carolinian goes to press this week. It would probably be a good idea to suppress some of the stuff that goes with it. *ss* You can say what you please about The Gamecock, but it is plain that a crowd of fellows think it's worth fighting over. Students will not conduct these classes as has been tried with failure, but men versed along theological lines and pro fessors.
