Inscription over entrance to the Fourth Estate: "Let him who enters here leave Hope be hind." To read some of our copy one would think that the spirit of Ambassador Count von Durn stuff had permeated the Army of the Pen. HAT-TIPPING A man and an ass have differ ences other than merely the com parative lengths of their ears. A gentleman is distinguished from the ordinary biped of the genus hiomo by the polish his personali ty wears, the smoothness of his contact with others and the gen eral rythm and harmony of all his actions. What we started out to say is this: that' the cus tomn of students tipping their hats to professors is becoming dusty and that we wish to regis ter our feeble protest against this indecorous degeneration. The practice of hat-tipping is a good one and we hope that n Carolina man will in the futul neglect to show to the facul1 the respect which is their du Not all' the professors are thieve nor are they all bad men, tl some students are convinced th; they did not make good mar] because their professors "hat in for them." No, some of ti faculty are very amiable gentl men. All of them are wor speaking to at any rate. Try i AN ECHO Those men who attended "CC lege Night" at the beginning < the session will remembi Coach Edgerton's advice to tI presidents of the literary so< eties about getting men to jo their organizations. He said would force the men to do so( ty work if the faculty shou require every man before gra uation to deliver a public a dress. This suggestion wi commented upon editorially these columns by the former ed tor. Though no such requir ment now exists at Carolina, ti faculty does excuse from writir graduation essays those men wl appear in inter-society contest The University of Tenness4 Orange and White has the fc lowing to say of Dr. Edge ton's suggestion, under the ca tion, "Public Speaking:" "In the University of Soul Carolina there has been initiat( a campaign to further interest: public speaking. It seems r markable that the states of ti states of South which once pr duced the most brilliant orato in the country should at th time in the Nation's history I especially energetic in producir eloquent men. There are mar causes for the dearth of orato: in the South, chief among whi< is the specialization fever whi< has struck Southerners no le: than in the North. Studen seem to think that only the laN yers and ministers in this day < specialization need the art < public speaking. "It is lamentable that such misconception of public speakir exists among our colleges toda: There never will come a time any civilized nation when v can dispenie with the art of pri senting a subject or a propos tion in any phase of activit; whether scientific or literary, i the clearest, concisest and mot forceful style. If such ability not inborn it may .be acquire< "Every profession demands e ficiency in the art of presenti tion. "Realizing this need the Un versity of South Carolina is coi 'templating the plan of req uirir every student before graduati( to make a public speech.
