The State University is in most cases the leading college in the State. This is true of West ern State Universities and it is true of Southern State Universi ties. To bring it nearer home t, us, it is true of Carolina. 13oth students and faculty visit i.ig other institutions in our State have been gratified to know that this is true. Should we pause to think of it, this a most natural situation. Those who have larger oppor. tunities, of them more is retlui; ed. Carolina being located in the Capitol City, al''ords the students a broad field for study ing governmental, moral and re ligious conditions. Be&ng in di reet contact with the larger forces at. work in the State we should be able to equip ourselves for better service than those who do not have those privileges. Consequently many of the col leges in this State look to Caro lina as their model and as their leader. We should not fail to realize that leadlership is always accomi l)anied1 b.y responsibility. If it is trute, and it is true, that the University is regarded by many schools in the State as the lead er we should be careful to prove ourselves worthy of their respect b)y condulctinug our many activi ties in a creditable mann(er. SANS ADIEU. Today the administration of the staff ele -ted last spring to edit TIhe Gameocnk exvnhe.n nd the new corps of editors so well selected by the societies joins that regiment of students who have had the privilege of being, connected with Carolina's sweek ly. There are three kinds of pleas ures attached to every happy in cident in life: to wit, the pleas ure of anticipation, the pleasure of realization, and the pleasure of remembrance. Our connection with The Gamecock has been a pleasureof realization for thepast six months and tomorrow it will be a pleasure of remembrance. The pleasures of anticipation we did not experience, as we did not aspire to the position which we felt we did not deserve and the duties of which we felt keenly our inability to perform. The pleasure of realization has been genuine to us. We have not failed to realize to the ut most the responsibility that rest ed upon us and our obligations to the literary societies to which we are indebted for the privilege of serving them in our humble and strictly limited capacity. It has been a pleasure because we have been given an opportunity to show to the societies our ap preciation of the benefits deriv ed from our associations with the members. We have endeav ored to make The Gamecock a journal which should represent weekly every organization on the campus, bearing news of every phase of college activity. We have earnestly desired that it be I a weekly of the students, for the students and by the students, laying special emphasis on the imlSortance of students other than the staff contributing their talent for the support of The Gamecock. We also have en deavored to present, such news as could he found first hand, in a readable manner to the students, alumni and others in whose hands a copy perchance might fall. It is not for us to deter mine just how far we have sue ceeded. But we can testify that our elforts have been honest, and our purpose has been pure, and our benefits have been many. Tomorrow, we shall think of our connection with The Game cock as a pleasure of the past. Memory after all is one of the greatest things we possess. There has grown up within us a profound love for "The Bird,'" and we are glad that it is our privilege to sub)mit its im mediate future to a staif at whose head is a man in whom we all re cognize strong literary and mana gerial ability. We feel sure that our successors will make Tfhe Gamecock a greater suiccess and a more powerful factor than we have ever known.
