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.

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.
The first case ordered for trial
by the clerk was that of the Bank
af Charleston vs the Columbia Oil!
Mill Company. The plaintiff wasI
suing for thirteen thousand dol
lars($13,000),alleged to have been
lost by it by the false and fraud
ulent representations made by de
fendent to a third party causing:
or placing in the hands of the said
third party the power to perpe
trate the fraud which was played
upon. The case was a very inter
esting one, and was very ably pre
sented and argued by counsel on
both sides, Messrs. Carl Cook and
F. A. Thompson representing the
plaintiff and H. W. Pearcy and
D. S. Polier the defendent. The

(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.
