C., Jan. 22, 1917 Prof. Chamberlayne. Since the last issue of The Gamecock, a calamity has be fallen the University in the death of Prof. Lewis Parke Chamberlayne. Our loss is the State's loss and the State's loss is humanity's loss. Much has been said of this noble man and much more could be said, but the following tribute by a committee from the student body says what all feel: "Lewis Parke Chamberlayne was a scholar. He will be re membered in University and college circles for his mastery of the ancient languages. But scholarship with him was not an end in itself, a thing to be acquired for its mere posses sion. The interests of his mind were as broad as humanity.The real passion of his heart was for better social order where injustice and inequality could not exist and where the hum blest of men would have the opportunity to achieve. "His students admired him for the breadth and compass of his many sided mind; they respected him for his rugged honesty; they loved him for his genuine interest in and sym pathy with them and their problems and difficulties. A student struggling with adver sity in any form found in him friend and counsellor. Ripe scholarship was no barrier be. tween the hearts of the two. "Lewis Parke Chamberlayne has gone. All forces that make for good in this world have lost a stalwart champion. Hypocri sy and cynicism oulnio e+ ist in his presence. Student ideals of honor have been strengthened and reinforced since he lived among us for a season. The University is a better place because he has passed this way." Members of the faculty adopted the following resoli tion upon the death of their col league: "Profoundly shocked by the sudden death of our beloved associate, Lewis Parke Chai berlayne, we, the members of the faculty of the University of South Carolina, wish to ex press our appreciation of the brilliant talents, the schoary attainments and the sterling character of our late col league. "Professor Chamberlayne came to the University in 1910 to succeed the late Prof. Charles W. Bain, to whom as his former teacher he was at tached by the strongest ties. He at once impressed all with the remarkable depth and breadth of his learning. While his peculiar field was the clas sics, he was widely read in his tory and was a most interested student of modern sociological problems. Into the church and the charitable activities of Co lumbia he entered with the full force of his enthusiastic r.ature. "lie encouraged and promot ed the literary efforts of the students and was a frequent contributor to their publica tions. His literary taste was very fine. The products of his pen which appeared often in prominent magazines receiv ed high praise and flattering notice. Especially commended were his translations from the classics. "The broad human sympa thies and warm heart of Pro fessor Chamberlayne made him a host of friends and en deared him especially to those with whom he was intimately associated. Every member of the faculty feels that in Pro fessor Chamberlayne's death he has suffered a personal loss. To the bereaved wife and fami ly we extend our fullest sym pathy." The University Press. Another effort is being made to secure from the legislature money to repay Dr. Green and D)r. Moore the loan made the University when the University Press was established. The ob ject is to have the printing~ plant become State property. No demand madec upon the leg islature is more just than this. For some time all the Universi ty bulletins and catalogs, as well as office supplies, have been printel on theampus, this having been made possible solely th ough the generosity and loy,ity'of these gentlemen. With a little effort the print ing plant can be made an im portant adjunct to the school of journalism. That depart ment whose work is now large ly theoretical could he made practical once the two are cor related. Students might be required to know the rudiments of practical printing, thus gain ing some knowledge of how a written word is going to look in Irint. While most authorities do not say practical knowledge of printing is a requisite to suc cessful journalism they are agreed that such a knowledge is highly desirable. The Gamecock hopes the State will pay back to these gentlemen the money it has borrowed through the trustees. If the war continues there will he ny necessity for a new building for girls--they can have complete possession of those here now. Most anyone can get in the first class these days, and with much less competition than formerly.
