Two Dances, Three Baseball Games, Track Meet, Recep tion, Glee Club Concert. The social cabinet had a meet ing last Wednesday relative to the. program for Easter Week. All who were here remember with pleasure the delightful pro gram that was carried out last year, and .every ettort is being made by. the cabinet and the dif ferent committees in charge to make the .one- this year as big a success. On Monday of -Easter 'Week the election of the queen will be carried on between, ten .and twelve o'clock in the morning. Up to this year the election has been carried on in the student body meeting, and has caused more or less friction, However, this year, to remove all this, a ballot-box will be placed in .the Marshal's office and the election carried on just as political elec tions are conducted. According to a motion passed in the student body last year each student is to pay fifty cents each term to the social cabinet for the expense of social affairs. The fee for the second term is now due. Those who have not paid up by Monday morning of Easter Week will not be allowed to vote for the queen. The presidents of the respective classes will appoint committees to collect this fee. The names of those who pay will be given to the managers of election, and only those will be allowed to vote. On Monday night the German Club will give the regular Easter German. Then on Tuesday af ternoon the queen will be crown ed out on the campus. In the evening the Glee Club will give a concert in the chapel. A re ception will be given Wednesday night in honor of the queen. The student body dance will be given in the gymnasium Friday night.

Dr. Wauchope, who is a person al friend to Mr. Greet, and who has seen him present "Taming of the Shrew," gave out the fol lowing statement: "This is the most amusing and delightful of all Shakes peare's farcical comedies. Mr. Greet has the fullest and most original ideas about the great dramatist and presents them in a pleasing style." This same company presented "Everyman" on the campus sev eral years ago. The Columbia literateurs have not ceased to talk about the play, and have looked forward to the return of the company. The students and faculty are especially pleased to learn that Ben Greet will come to Columbia, first, because of the splendid lit erary opportunity, and second, because a percentage of the pro ceeds will go to the Athletic As sociation. Every student of lit erature should avail himself of this great opportunity because of its literary value. All Carolina men will be interested that part of the proceeds will go into the treasury of their association. Double-Header Monday.

PERCY BOYNTON ADDRESSES STUDENTS "Emerson in Concord" Sub ject of Chicago Professor. Auditors Get a Broader Concep ton of Great Writer's Life and Works. Professor Percy H. Boynton of the English faculty of the University of Chicago and head of the Chautauqua Institution summer schools told in a pleas ing manner of the life of New England's philosopher-p o e t, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the quaint pld Massachussetts city of Concord in his lecture, "Em erson in Concord," to faculty, students of the University and Columbia people in the chapel Tuesday evening. A large crowd attended. "Emerson," said Prof. Boyn ton, "confined himself in a pa thetic isolation from those dear to him, or as the philosopher himself says, he possessed a por cupine impossibility of con tact with man." Mr. Emerson took his writing very seriously tho modest withal. Emerson was provencial, using the word "provincial" in the best sen ses. "The records of the philos opher's life are two," said the lecturer,-"his journal and his famous memorial address," and using these as material - for dis cussions the Chicagoan told in a delightfully charming manner of the soul of Emerson and of his reflections on the life of the peo ple in and around Concord. A mong his friends Emerson counted a number of New Eng land writers, among them being Henry Thoreau, the two Alcotts, William Ellery Channing and: that other authpr of note, Na thaniel Hawthorne, whose self conscious silence grew deafening in a short while" as Emerson himself expressed it. The lec ture was withal pleasantly enter-. ing and highly cultural. Attend Association. Dr. Currell, Professors Baker and Wardlaw spent yesterday and today in Florence in attend ance on the State High School Techers' Association. Dr. Cur rell delivered address before the association. Dean Baker is sec retary of the association. Dr. E. L. Green will attend the convention of classi ral litera tures in Nashville Thursday. LAFAYETTE TRIUMPHS OVER CAROLINA NINE Win Series of Baseball Games From University. Two Contests Lost by One Score. Carolina Team Shows up Well. The opening game of the base ball season was played Monday, Lafayette defeating Carolina 1 to 0. The game was a great pitch ers' battle between Adams for the home team and Hammer for the visitors. In spite of the unfavor able weather conditions, there being a high and chilly wind blowing across the field, both torns played in mid-season form. The lone run of the game was scored in the second inning, Hammer winning his own game wiLh a Texas leaguer to left which Richards made a great try for. Hunt was passed and Blackburn attempted to sacri fice him to second. Leach, with a fast and accurate peg, got Hunt at the middle station. Blackburn then stole second and scored when Hammer singled to left field. The Gamecocks twice had ex cellent opportunities to tie the game up, but the necessary pinch hit was lacking. In the second inning Richards lead off with a clean single to left. He then started to steal second, and when Hammer threw wild in an attempt to head him off, he went to third. He was left there. In the seventh with one out, Plaxico singled to centre and stole second and third. But the next two hitters struck out. For Carolina a stop by Walker and a great catch of a foul ball by Capt. Stoney were the field ing features. "Babe" Adams, though a bit wild, pitched a beautiful game, and if the old pinch hit had not wandered off, he would have come out the vic tor. It was a hard game for him to lose. For the visitors the catching of Wright and the box work of Hammer were the outstanding features. The score by innings: R. H. E. Lafayette. .010 000 000 1 6 1 Carolina. . .000 000 000 0 4 0 Batteries: Hammer and Wright; Adams and Stoney. Umpires, Lewis and Harbison.
