We are going to give Clemson Warren-J. The Hornet almost stung the Tiger, didn't "she"? Some people understand "col lege bred" to mean a four year's loaf. Bath tickets may be purchased by the freshmen from any of the upper classmen. Newberry comes for her an nual trouncing next Saturday. Let's not disappointher. The preacher's words that cause least confusion Are. "now in conclusion." Dr. Currell is reading the sto ry of Joseph in chapel now. We'll have to confess we find it mighty dreamy.4 An exchange says that fashions; now seem to be regulated by the distance from the ankle to the skirt. We are in favor of a wide latitude in styles. HEO I ns us to our duties, fo the nonths laid aside for more or ess enjoyable activitfes.' 'Along Nith the veterans of - other rears the steps of recruits are teeping pace. To both of these me extend a hearty and heart elt welcome. It seems to be an established ind unchangeable custom, that ye should take up most of our editorial space of our first issue riving advice to the new men. An investigation of the files of rHE GAMECOCK will disclose this ,act. For several reasons we mill spare the freshmen this rear the intolerable tasks of tak ng again what they have un ioubtedly had forced upon -hem many times previous to his. In view of our own obser iation, however, of the uiter 'ailure of many well-meaning natriculates to receive at college xhat they undoubtedly should iave we would do wrong, we >elieve, if we did not use what small influeuce we might have in tttempting to impress upon :hose few influen2ed by us, the ife upon which they have just mtered. Too much stress cannot be aid upon a good start, and to 5et a good start means to start ;tudying. Study generates in :erest, and once started interest renerates study. It is in college hat man writes the index to the ook he will develop in after ife. The foundation he lays in 2ollege is an example of the <ind of material he will build riis character in later years. The development of mind, body, and soul is necessary in 2ollege life and the neglect of iny one of these is inconsistent. rake an active part in some Form of athletics, join the Y. M. 3. A. and Bible classes but don't neglect your studies. Many men iave gone thru school success fully and kept up this threefold ictivity and proved that it is ssential to a really delectable !ollege career. We have the opportunity for 'he laying of this basic structure >f our lives. It is up to us to nake the best we can of it. The ;unshine is here, be warm or ,old as you will. The future of -he individual man and of the state wviil be determined by the education men acquire. Now s the time, the opportunity is nere, both are rapidly passing. Mr. A. S. Williams, a member >f class '15, is now at Boston [ech. Two hundred cop)ies of Prof. WIcCutchen's bulletin on the Tor :en's System of Land Registra ion were recently ordered by he Un iversity of New Yor. of alaffe " it)!i of led41g Wil hive to a$ it, whether tey wish or not, that the moral and spritual:side of college life is' it stressed as much here as at de nominiational schools. D no understand, however, that we wish to disparage the work of our efficient Y. M. C. A. secre tary and. the cabinet, for such is far from being the case. We daresay that no college or uni versity hAs a more consecrated and energetic secretary or a more conscientious cabinet. The fault does not lie with them. It is al most impossible for this small group of men to maintain any degree of interest among all the. members of a student body as large as ours. In view of this fact, a body of about fifty men consisting of stu dents prominent in every college activity have united for the pur pose of cooperating with the Y. M. C. A. in a campaign for bet ter morals on the campus. The campaign is not to last a week or a month, but the whole year. These men have agreed to sacri flee time and pleasure and to work toward this end consistent ly. The plan is a good one and deserves our commendation.

Wright, an alunmus of Carolina and at present a member of the junior law class, delivered the regular address.
