Y. M. C. A. NEWS "Spirit, Mind, Body." Mr. H. K. Bosmajian, an Ar menian, gave a lecture on his na tive land to a large audience of students at Flinn Hall Thursday evening. Mr. Bosmajian is a native of Armenian Turkey. He came to this country in 1886 as a student, and on account of the religious intoleration of his country could not return to it. For the past few years he has been traveling over America giving lectures mainly to college students on the political, religious, and social conditions of his country. At several intervals in his lecture he rendered selections on the pic calo, flute, and fife, and his talk was filled with wit and humor. He also sang several songs in his native tongue. The address was one of the most entertaining that has been given at the University this ses sion and was enjoyed by all who heard it. Letter From Dr. Joynes. "Mr. Editor of THE GAMECOCK: "I had the good fortune to hear this Monday morning, February 28, the address of Mr. Rose, representing the United States Department of Commerce, before our student body. I regard it as a great privilege, enjoyed by our studenth, to hear from time to time such addresses by men of experience and distinction in the various fields of life. These ad dresses are educational, in the very best sense. When Mr. Rose spoke of the importance, in a commercial sense, of learning to speak Span ish, I was reminded of an inci dent in my own life, which I have more than once related. In 1886 1 was called to the chair of Modern Languages in Washington College, now Wash ington and Lee University. Gen eral Robert E. Lee was its presi dent. In my first interview with him, he asked: "Can you teach Spanish?" and added: "Spanish is destined to be the most impor tant of all the modern languages to our people." Time has long since vindicated his prophecy. Germany captures the trade of South America because she sends out young men qualified to speak the language of those countries, and every educated German, as a rule, speaks at least one language besides his own often more than one. This is one of the se crets of Gernman power. Our' own University has now an exceptionally' strong depart mient of modern languages, andl I hope that the opportunities for learning to speak, as well as to read, especially Spanish and Ger man, may be more and more ap preciated by our students." "Edward S. .noyn. " "TOMMY" McMILLAN COACHES CITADEL Well Known Carolina Man, and S. A. L. Player to Train Citadel Players. The Citadel baseball practice began Monday with "Tommy" McMillan, a former Carolina star, as coach. For several seasons "Tommy"1 was the star shortstop for Caro lina, both while in the Academic and Law Department he was a star member of the Gamecock nine, in field work and with the stick. He was one of the best base runners Carolina had. During the summer vacations he played several seasons in the Carolina League. After getting his LL. B. in 1913 he was with the Charleston Club in the South Atlantic League and practiced law in the winter. In 1915 he gave up the game so that he might give more time to his legal profession, as a member of the firm of Heyward & McMil lan in Charleston. Passing thru Columbia a few days ago, Coach McMillan, said; "we have a bright outlook at the Citadel; and expect to put out a corking good team."
