GENERAL THOM?SCN Some men are always patriots General Henry T. Thompson i one of these. When the Uni versity authorities decided to be gin the military training cours immediately, Gen. Thompson was their unanimous choice as in structor. When, however, they offered to pay him for his ser vices he refused to accept it, saying that he considered it hi, patriotic duty since in that way he would be helping his country. MILITARY TRAINING The prompt and hearty re sponse of the students to the cal for a military training course is futher evidence of the burning ozeal and patriotism that has al ways marked South Carolinians. The remarkable number who signed pledges of their intention to prepare themselves for prog able eventualities shows that they are true and loyal offspring of the sturdy stock of ('onfeder ate patriots. The Gamecocks have always been known for their sense of loyalty and state pride. In the great conflict between the Sec tions they rallied to the cause of the Confederacy. Of the Soutih Carolina troops on the border the University had more men than any other college, altho we have never had military training. In addition to the state pride inherited from fathers of the days of the Confederacy and of IIampton, the men of Carolina have bloo,d coursing thru their veins that burns with a natura sense of honor and love for a democratir republic. Ours is a leritage of religious and politica. freedom, and the sons of South ('arolina will ever hold them selves in readiness to maintain the ideals and institutions of a peace-loving and honor bound nation. It is with this spirit that our student body stand(s behiind a movement which prepares us to answer the call of duty. It is not surprising to know how the Gamecocks stand in this national movement of preparedness. We cannot fail to makespecial mention of that old time love of state and country, always found in the women of our land, mani fested in the consecration of our co-eds in the service of the Red Cross relief work. F'or several weeks the co-eds have been or gniz'/ed in to a study group p)re paratory to olferinug their srv vices to the great cause of nattionial freedom andl the dlefenise of nia tional honor.
