MEMBER CLASS OF '90 VISITS IN COLUMBIA William Walter Hentz, an old grad in the class of 1890 of the University, was a visitor on the campus the past week. He is now a resident of Okla homa City, Okla., where he is a successful lawyer and mer chant. Mr. Hentz met only one member of the faculty who was teaching at the time of his graduation, J. J. McMahan, who was then an instructor in German. He was accompanied on his visit to Columbia by Mrs. Hentz and a young son, W. W. Hentz, Jr. Mr. Hentz thinks Columbia has made remarka ble progress since his residence here. At that time Columbia boasted not a skyscraper, a paved street or electric car. Mr. Hentz went from here to Pomaria where his father yet lives at the old home place. .i He visited in Columbia at the i3 home of W. P. Houseal, his 6 uncle, 1717 Hampton Street. 1 ENROLLMENT FIGURES SHOW BIG DECREASE y The dean's office has classi c fied the students enrolled for the first semester, the total number being 363.

RGGS LETTER FROM REFO SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE News from France is rare, being usually in form of official dispatches and short pei sonal notes with dates and p,..ces dedeleted. For this reason we letter from one we know is in teresting. Henry B. Refo, a student last year in the junior class, now a member of engi neering corps doing valiant work somewhere in France, has written to his brother here and from his letter the follow ing optimistic excerpt is tak en. There are 14 other Caro lina men in his company, among whom are Brasington, Pigg, Rentz and others: "We are having the time of our life here. Work, eat and sleep is the order of the day, while we learn French at the remarkable rate of half a word a month. There is just one objection we all have to France and that is that the peo ple speak French. Otherwise everything is 'chicken.' And speaking of chicken-that just reminds me that there are a few 'spring chickens' over here but American 'chickens' for me. I want one I can talk to." Clemson Wilson was a visit or here last week. George Robertson C. E. 1913 is doing work in connection with the macadamizing of the streets of Camp Jackson. Prof. Victor E. Rector, spoke at Camden on January 19.
