Enterd at Columbia, S. C. postoffice November 20, 1908 as second class mail matter. Columbia, S. C., March 14, 1916. Previous question-%whatyou mieanl ? In the words of Prof. Frierson, the Northern youth ought to go South well it all depends. Kind friend, if you are going to invite one of us mess-hallites on Sunday, we insist that it be the evening meal---there's a rea son. We'd like to say that there are several righty dead members on the campus that haven't been unearthed and carted off. Coyness: that invisible, intan gible, irresistible, multifarious compound that often breaks up a perfectly good game about the second inning. With the Mexican situation picking up and the discovery of a mighty nice skeleton on the campus, it won't take much more to flush this campus hospital corps to the woodls. CAN'T OTHERS HELP? In last week's GAMECOCK wvas a brief outline of' the work (done by some of the students of the University as teachers in night schools. This work is car ried on mainly under the auspi ces of the Y. M. C. A. Tis work by the- students aside from their regular college (duties is indicative of the ex tendled influence of the Y. M. C. A. But the real significance runs' deeper and is more far reaching than it would appear at first sight. It not only shows that the work of the Y. M. C. A. is having a direct in fluence in the life of the cam pus, but shows that the stu dents are coming to a more thorough realization that the op portunities of college training is not merely for the benefit of those enjoying the advantages, but impases a corresponding duty in regard to those to whom the privelege is denied. There are many boys and girls in and around Columbia who have the power to be developed, but do'not have the opportunity. The students who are assisting in carrying on the work of the nightschools are helping bring the opportunity to a few. But there are many others. There are five hundred stu dents at the University. Surely there are more than a half doz en men who can afford to give 'a a few hours of their time each week. OUR CONTRIBUTION Aside from the curiosity aroused by the finding of a hu man skeleton in the clay of the campus, it brings to the stu dents the fact of their ignorance of the history of the institu tion. Practically every student of the University knows the date of its founding, few know any-' thing, if anything very little, of its history. Doubtless few men knew that the ground over which we walk had been used as a burial place less than a half' certury ago. Those who give1 any attention to South Carolina history would know that the dor mitories which we occupy were used as a hospital during the' Civil War, but that is only inci dental to the history of the in-' stitution itself. To appreciate the relation one has to his state, that one must know something of its history. To appreciate the true relation of the University, the student must know the history that lies behind the institution as it stands. The history of the University is not merely a record of the happening on the campus and in connection with the 01(1 build ings that have stood here since the founding of the institution. These form only a part. The lives of the men who spent; their college days within these walls, and their influence and work in the State in which they lived, forms the most interest ing part of the University's his tory. History is always in the mak ing. Life is what we make it. History is what men make it.
