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.
