NOTED TRAVELER HEARD BY STUDENTS Raine Gives Illustrated Lecture on Alaska to Large Audience Edgar C. Raine, noted travel er and entertaining speaker, gave a lecture in the University chapel Monday night on "Alaska, the Land of the Midnight Sun," The travel talk was accompanied by two hundred colored views of the most beautiful scenes of "The Frontier Wonderland of the World." The lecture was eminently capable of handling his subject. He is said to know more of Alas ka by actual contact with all parts of it than any other man in the world. * Not only did he pack an outfit over the Chilcoot Pass in 1897, during the stam pede to the Klondike, but he has traveled into every town and village in the Territory once a year for the past six years as a representative of the United States Treasury Department. The lecture can be no better summarized than it was in an advance bulletin which stated: "Mr. Raine takes his audience through every town in Alaska and several villages in Siberia; presenting the Northland in all its wondrous beauty and scenic granduer. The beautiful 'Inside Passage' terminating in the in-. comparable Lynn Canal; the lofty, snowcapped mountains rising from the sea to dizzy heights; impressive glaciers and picturesque water-fall; the seal,i reindeer, caribou and walrus herds; Eskimo igloos, and Si berian Mazinka houses; Totems with their legends; the hardy Eskimos in their Omiaks and Ky aks: quaint Aleuts in their native dress; Queen Obleka in her rein deer Parka; whaling with the natives at point barrow; the' "Midnight Sun;" the Northern Lights; the customs and history of an inteesting country. An hour and a half of enter tainment filled with views of compelling interest, of thrilling experiences, of absorbing stories illustrative of the fascinating life of the Northland.

Woods of the circuit court of appeals, deliver a series of ad dresses on the various branches of the law. Two of the lectures on "Justice", and "Reform in the Law", have been given. The addresses are made at 9:30! each morning in the law room. They are on purely technical phases of the law, and students are urged to ask questions after each lectur. PRESIDENT CURRELL ADDRESSES STUDENTS Those who attended the regu lar weekly meeting of the Y.M. C. A. Wednesday evening had the pleasure of hearing an interest ing and inspiring address on "Christian Warfare", by Dr.W.S. 1 Currell, president of the Univer sity. 1 Dr. Currell began his address i by saying that everything worth,: while must be fought for. The speaker said, "If we put on the I armor of God we are ready for, his service". He continued his address by i stating clearly the true meaning 4 of the difserent parts of God's i armor. He said, "We must put on < the helmet of salvation to protect1 our minds from all evil. Secondly, I he continued, "We must wear the girdlQ of truth. You can build on i anything except a lie. We want I to be true to our bodies and true I to our souls, so that God can build a real cornerston. against the storms of time. "The most important piece of armor", said the speaker, "is the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God." He advised every man present to store up in his mind passages ft om the Scripture ] as these could be used in times of temptation as a sword to cut out the very heart of evil. Dr. Currell concluded his ad dress by making an earnest plea for the men to encourage outside students to take part in Christian work. LAW NEWS The Law Association was called to order at its usual hour Thurs day, October 19. After disposing of what business there was before the Association, it was immedi ately resolved into the moot court, with Chief Justice Rucker and as sociate Justices Harrison and Wil der presiding.

(Apologies to Mr. Robert Inger ~oll.)I A little while ago I stood at thel Carolina-Clemson game, ,k magnificent affair of garnetl and purple; [ gazed upon the field of honor, where countless battles had been fought. [ leaned over the fence, and thought of the career of the greatest team of modern history. saw the Clemson team coming C from the field of strife ;in 1909, in a blaze of glory. saw them in 1910; saw them in 1911, when they trod upon the Game Cock and mingled the purple and yellow with the tears of the Carolina supporters; saw them in 1912, in defeat and disaster pushed back by elev en warriors, clutched like; wild beasts, banished to Clemson; saw them escape in 1913 and re take their honors by the'. force of their genius; saw them in 1914, 1915, 1916. knd I thought of the paupers: that they had made, )f the tears that had been shed for their glory, )f the curses that had been heaped upon their heads, knd I said, I would rather have been a Carolina supporter and worn a linen duster in the winter, [would rather have gone penni less for months, would rather have been that poor Carolina supporter, andI gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust,. 'han to have been a supporter of that terrible machine of force~ and murder, known as the* CLEMSON TEAM. (By an alumnus who has been VISITING CARDS. 50 FOR 75c. 524 Main St. Phone 1831 Tom Hook.
