BASEBALL PRACTICE BEGINS MONDAY Many Vacancies to Be Filled This Year. Every One Who Has Ever Play ed Baseball Is Urged to Come Out. Everybody who intends to go out for baseball will report Mon day, February 15. Sid Smith, the coach, will be here at that time. He wishes to have at least 40 men out, for he expects to have two teams. It is understood that these two teams will cross bats each after noor after practice is under headway. The first team pitch ers will be used on the scrub team and the scrub pitchers on the first team. The field is being put in good shape and everything else will be ready except the fence. A temporary backstop will probab ly be erected at once. Several players have been doing light practice since examinations. Flowers is the only reliable pitcher so far known of, but such an excellent trainer as Coach Sid Smith will probably develop unknown stars. Anybody who has ever played baseball should go out, for there are several vacancies to be filled this year. PRESIDENT CURRELL IS FORMALLY INAUGURATED (Continued from page 1) Bureau of education brought greetings from the commission. He said the University is enter ing upon an epoch of its great est usefulness. Col. Coward of the Citadel historically "unveiled" the new president. He eulogized in most commendable words the life and work of President Currell from the time he entered Col. Cow ard's school at Yorkville, S. C. He made a strong appeal to the young men of the college to strive for a life of noble manhood. EVENING SESSION The evening exercises were held in the hall of the house of representatives with Governor Manning presiding. After a brief wordl of welcome the Governor introduced President Currell, who delivered his inaugurail ad dress "The University and the State." The President paid a trib ute to the new administration, the legislative and executive. He spoke of the new era as "an au gury of better times to come." He treated in patriotic terms the ideal relationship between a state and its university, the functions of one toward the other, and the dependence of eh upon the Assistant Managers Elected. At the meeting of the Advis ory Board Wednesday, the as sistant managers of the track and baseball teams were elected. Waddy Anderson and Dich err are to assist Manager Edpdis in baseball. G. B Templeton and E. A. Cohen will be the as sistant managers of the track team. The board went on record as favoring the new Athletic As sociation between the five state universities, viz., Virginia, Geor gia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina. The Ways and Means Commit tee has recommended to the leg islature $103,000 as Carolina's appropriation. This includes the fence appropriation, but strikes out the law building. character and intelligence of the State's citizenship. "Practically, a state is an organized and rep resentative aggregation of indi viduals. The relation of a state to its various activities should be as intimate and as organic as the relation of a body to its meip bers. If one activity suffers all suffer." Dr. Currell pointed out the fact that only 25 high schools in the State offer a full four year's course of 14 units. This shows how handicapped the University is in requiring 14 units admission. A plea was made for better high schools. "There is a prejudice in some quarters against colleges and uni versities," said President Currell, "but if the college is poor where are the good teachers to come from? The welfare of the State demands, therefore, the higher education of the few just as in sistently as it demands the ele mentary education of the many. "The State owes the Univer sity an ungrudging generous and stable support. Ungrudging be cause the cause is noble. Next to religion education is admittedly the greatest factor in modern civilization. Generous because the terms are greater than those that come from any investment the State can make." After a preliminary review of the relationship between State and University the remarks were more specificalhy directed to the work in the class rooms, and the general appearance of the cam pus and its historic buildings. The President carried his audi ence on a "trip through the 'campus. The University owves something to the State -its very existence. A university that does not serve the State has no reason for its existence. Dr. Currell said the first duty of the University to the State is to make men- --men Iwho shall b)ecome faithful, pa 1p A1 M easure Ti By SAM PRE' Tenement 14, Store at 1417 Main St. Step.La o ( ntERE is titlc; and yct sin C 0 .-Somne For instanarette ()t cheap cigce whk an"d paYWC try a db e l irill'; lust goo b\ende'a and p xt - Th 6500 wiU be - This ad.published before June , inthe $500 Fatima you cn,but I Advertising Con- P.",',wi,, be .test, is the work of '22{"/ Mr. J.
