If James Wood-row to the
Mills would the Morse Black
burn?
If a Minna would swallow a
Pearl would Henri-et-to?
The gym suits are most be
coming, indeed, and Prof. Black
burn is to be envied, perhaps.
The co-eds didn't meet Wed
nesday, having postponed it to
go to chapel and hear Dr. Bald
win.
The co-eds have good muscles;
they can wheel the piano sans
screeches from Mr. Blackburn's
office into the practice hall.
We are glad to say that Miss
Hudgins is on the road to recov
ery, and we hope to see her re
sume her studies soon.
The varsity girls went to gym
nastics twice this week. They
are delighted with the thrilling
exercises, and realize how much
the co-eds of former years have
missed in not having had this
advantage.
'The girls enjoy the Folk danc
ing but are especially enthu
sed over the basket-ball. If
Prof. Blackburn turns his back
for a moment, or recollects that
he has forgotten something after
which he goes, they all scramble
for the ball, and he has to call
them to order again.
Noted Journalist Speaks.
''Prof." J. II. Elkins last week
addressed the students of Claf
lin Umversity on, "Black hoises
in newspaper work.."
"Prof." Elkins is a recognized
authority on journalism, having
lately resigned the deanship of
the school of journalism of Co
luinbia University.
The students who heard "Prof."
lfkins were so much impressed
with the need of "dark" re
iorters that many of them now
have it as their highest anbi>tion
to work on The Rlecord.

Life at U. S. C. When Lafayette
Visited Columbia, 1825.
When Lafayette visited Co
lumbia in March, 1825, a com
pany of cadets was formed from
the students of the South Caro
lina College. An old newspaper
report says: "In line were the
South Carolina cadets. There
were 40 or 50 of these young
men, commanded by Cadet Capt.
Savon. They had a striking uni
form, a dark grey, swallow tail
coat and white trousers. The
head dress was the peculiarly
shaped cap or chapeau of that
day. The white duck trousers
were gathered at the knee by a
band of black ribbon an inch wide,
with streamers hanging down
the outer seam and falling to the,
ankle. Long trousers, known as
'Lafayette pants,' had then sup
planted the knickerbockers
which Lafayette wore when .n
American soldier. The cadets
wore powdered queues of the
colonial style."
This was the beginning of the
company of College Cadets which
existed except for a short time
of thirty pears. It was disband
ed in 1857, but reorganiz.d in
the fall of 1860 for the coming
conflict.

now teaching at Cartersville, S.
C. spent the week-end on the

THANKSGIVING DANCE
FOR SPONSORS
Student Body Dance After The
Thanksgiving Game.
In honor of the Carolina and
Citadel sponsors, ,the university
student body will give a dance
Thanksgiving evening in the uni
versity gymnasium. A large
crowd is expected. The admission
will be reasonable for those who
dance and free for those who
merely wish to look on.
The entire Citadel corps will
accompany the team to Columbia
and the cadets have been invited
as Carolina's guests for the even
ing. The brass buttons and gray
uniforms will add color to the
setting.
Much interest has been mani
fested in the dance. Because of
the many visitors whom it would
inconvenience, dress suits have
been discarded, and the affair
will be distinctly informal.
Dainty cards have been arrang
ed forand dancing will begin at
9 o'clock in the gymnasium.
We have no idea ofrgoing down
to Chattanooga, Tennessee since
Miss Pankhurst has visited that
place.
