ENGINEERINCASOCIE1Y J. N. Arthur, Mdtor i On last Monday evening Bob King entertained .the senior en gineering studente and Prof. Seibert at dinner. Everybody ate to his satisfaction, but the feast had just begun. After the dinner,. cigars were served. Besides the fact that there were no ladies present, another pleas ant feature was that there were no toasts or speeches. English related his experiences on the chaingang; last summer. JOhnson told of his work on the canal, while Prgf. Seibert dreamed of a meridian.' This was a birthday party, in honor of Bob King's .brother. Y. M. C. A. Meeting. A special program consisting of a mission rally was given at the Y. M. C. A. on last Wednesday" evening. - Dr. J. O. Reavis was . the main speaker and delivered the first..address, 'The Impor 3 tance of Studying Missions'. "True feeling is the tempera vi ture of thought," said the speak 6 er, 'and our interest in missions .5 is aroused only to the degree . that we invest the 'capital of . thought' in its literature. Over three hundred fresh, strong books have been written in the last two years on this subject, and there is a large field for the in vestment.of this kind of capital." This mission literature, which I is ever increasing, puts us in di rect touch with world move ments. .Our views are made larger and our sympathies are broadened as we become acquain ted with the undertakings of this great field. The lives of men have been molded and liter ally changed by the reading of a single mission book, such as the 'Life of Livingston." The study of such lives as these inspires us to a larger vision, to a larger life in this world for the great God- i service. After the eloquent address of Dr. Reavis each of the leaders of the six courses gave a brief outline of their text books that would be used. Then a com mittee canvassed the dormitories and signed up 11g men. When this total was estimated the can vass was not complete. Steam Heat. The Legislature refused to grant the full amount of money' asked for by the University of South Carolina for the extension of the heating system to both Thornwell and LeConte colleges.

Several of the records which have been es tablished are very little below the inter-scholastic records of the United States and the mana gers confidently hope that other records will be'brought still near er that goal. Prof. J. B. Coleman and Physi cal Director Blackburn have just had printed the rules and regu lations of the High School Meet. This bulletin is now being mailed out to every high school in the State. It gives also instructions about training and anything ne cessary for the forming of a track team. Met Here.
