Robins and Childs December Two-Five. Weekly Meeting. Mr. James Montgomery of the 6 Columbia Theological Seminary addressed the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting Wednesday evening. The subject of Mr. Montgom ery's inspiring remarks was "'The Mornning Watch." .In the beginning of his re marks the speaker emphasized the importance of prayer. The ideal man of the middle ages was the man who prayed. And we should learn a lesson from those men by making prayer a vital factor in our daily lives. He further pointed out that the war i i Europe is making men all over the world realize the need of seeking help from other than human sources. Mr. Montgomery then told of some of the things we should ask for. We should pray for our enemies as Christ did when he wa,; being crucified on the Cross that there might be given the strength to meet the difficulties of life, and for the forgiveness of sins. In conclusion the speaker em phasized the fact that we should make prayer a definite thing. We should pray not in general but for specific things and peo ple. "If we expect to bring men to Christ thru the meetings to be held here in December, we should noc only pray for the suc cess of the meeting in a general way, but should pray that cer tain specific men should be brought to know God as their Savior." An added attraction of the meeting was the rendition of two vocal solos by Mr. Meigs Stan nard, a University student. These were greatly enjoyed by all present, and the Y. M. C. A. expressed its thinks to Mr. Stannard for his aid in making the program of the evening a suc*-ess. "It is a fine thing to help an individual man or woman, but it is divine statescraft to build up a good custom or break down a ba:k one- that shall control the actions of men long after indi viduals are forgotten. Amos P. Wilder. "Some men are born famous, some acquire fame, and others stand in goo'd!with the news edi tors." DR. EDWIN L. GREEN AUTHOR OF HISTORY Book Gives University Life From 1873 to 1913. Professor Edwin L. Green has completed a history of the Uni versity of South Carolina. The State Company which will pub lish it, expects to have it ready by December; a large part of the manuscript is already in type. This volume will fill a long felt need, as LaBorde's History 1 of the South Carolina College has been out of print many years. Dr. LaBorde wrote the history of the first half century of the Uni versity's life; a second edition published shortly after the au thor's death in 1873 brought the story in outline down to this date. The present history will cover the entire period from 1801 to 1913, the close of Dr. Mitchell's ad ministration. It is based on the records of the trustees and the f iculty, w:th material gathered fro:n many quarters to illustrate every phase of the institution's life. It will be one of the most comprehensive works of this na ture. An outline of the historical de velopment of the University is followed by special chapters on the buildings, lands, library, law school, school of pedagogy, cur riculum, government, student life, honor system, economic val ues, literary societies, lists of of ficers, trustees and faculty (with brief biography), and an appen dix containing papers relating to college cadets, songs and poems, college life, and other rare or in accessible matter. The whole will be closed by a full index. The edition will not be large and will apparently be quickly taken, as a large part has been sold in advance. This book is a monument to the diligent efforts of Dr. Green and his love of history. The U niversity is proud of her histo ian.

Sometime in the not far gone past somebody woke up to the fact that the only thing that could advance the South in foot ball was the better training of prep. school and high school men so that when these men entere(: college they could go into inter collegiate footbali with some idea of the game and thus bring honor to their institutions.
