Alumnus Writes. The following is a letter ad dressed to the editor of THE GAMECOCK from Mr. Broadus Mitchell, A. B. 13' and former editorin-chief of The Gamecock. Mr. Mitchell is now a student at Johns Hopkins University: "Editor of The Gamecock -Sir: The formation at the University of a group for the study of social ism is cause for congratulation. The step can mean a very great dedl to the institution and to the State of South Carolina. Dr. Laidler, in a note to me from Atlanta, spoke enthusiastically of th-e prospects for the organi zation, and appreciated the atti tude of the University communi ty as indicated in the cordial re ception which he had at the hands of faculty and students. "It is not necessary that the members of the club should be socialists, or that the study pur sued should lead them to become socialists, in order that the first order of benefit may result. The meetings should aim to develop an attitude of mind in treating social problems; they should show the fallacy of attacking symptoms rather than causes; they should exhibit society as an organism, a unit, a closely re lated whole, and should dispel any conception based upon the belief that people, except in a limited sphere, act independently of one another. The tendency, so obvious everywhere, toward palliatives rather than basal cor rectives should be made to as sume its proper place of a re stricted and essentially tempo rary usefulness. "Especiallyin the South, and in South Carolina, is the necessity for .a comprehensive grasp of social problems apparent. The recent and striking manifesto, if I may call it such, of the Uni versity Race Commission upon the subject of lynching is an illustration of the position to which we are coming. It must be seen that back of a lynching lies a social condition highly pathological - the individual lynching is merely the tempo rary eruption of the surface that indicates the existence of the fundamental disorder lying be neath. To this disorder we are addressing ourselves with more and more intelligence, knowi edge, determination and bravery, andi( with less and less indiffer (ence and fatal prejudice. And so it must be with many other stumbling blocks in the way of progress for the South. "Socialism best serves as a back ground for such thinking. It may be brought close or allowed to recede to a distance, but so long as we. project our social pro posals agaimst it as a screen, a new attitude of mind cannot fail toremet-ge. "san alumnns anone retin-n ing his interest in student af fairs, I wish for the movement every success, and bespeak for it the interest and support of the University community. Nor can I end this long letter without making a bow to THE GAMECOCK and hoping that the paper will be first in encouragement of all that the newly inaugurated or ganization may stand for.
