BRILLIANT ALUMNUS CLAIMED BY DEATH (CONTINUED FROM PAUR ONE.) gular debate with the univer sities of Georgia and Tennessee and was a member of the de bating team which defeated Georgetown university in Washington last year. He was a member of the Clariosophic Literary society and was for one term president of the so ciety. He was the winner of the Gonzales oratorical medal in 1913 and winner of the Clar- I iosophic medal for the best de bater in 1911. Despite his I heavy classroom and literary I society duties Mr. Branden- I burg served as assistant libra- I rian for a number of years and I was also secretary of the uni versity alumni loan fund, a po sition which he held up to the time of his illness. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Brandenburg, he is i survived by two brothers, W. I L. Brandenburg and W. A. Brandenburg, and two sisters, Misses Helen and Marguerite Brandenburg. The following resolution i was adopted by the Clarisoso- I phic society. Whereas, God in his allwise providence has seen fit to re- I move from our midst James D. Brandenburg, our beloved for mer student and fellow mem- i ber of our literary society ; and I Whereas, we feel we have ] lost a true and manly friend, 1 because of the way he endear- I ed himself to us through his devoted associations while at tending the University of South i Carolina; and Whereas, we feel we have lost in his death a man whose Christian ideals, ability and character was sure to result in honor and credit to his coun- t try, his alma mater, the Clar iosophic Literary society and to himself and family; Therefore, be it resolved: That we, the members of the Clariosophic Literary society express in this manner our sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Brandenburg and family in this hour of their bereavement, and to let them know that we also feel the great loss that has been thrust upon them and the Clariosophie Literary society ; and Be it further resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, published in The State and filed on record in the Claricsophic Literary so ciety. Committee: McK. Barr, A. B. Horton, W. H. Thomas. The resolutions adopted by the Euphradean society fol low: The Euphradian society wishes to record its tribute to ;he membory of James D. Brandenburg: The force which exalted [ames Brandenburg's life and which made it beautiful was -is love of truth. His brilliant )owers of mind were devoted ;o one end-the discovery of ruth. With him nothing mat ered so much as that sham and alsehood and hypocracy ihould be driven from the barth and that in their places ruth should be implanted. He possessed a wonderful in ellect. His learning was not nerely broad but deep. One ad to marvel not merely at ;he variety of his information, )ut at the depth and thoroness with which he had mastered so nany of the fields of thought. t was characteristic of him ;hat his knowledge was not uperficial. His mind probed ;he bottom of things-it lumbed the depths. A truth :eeker always, he dealt in fun lamentals. And yet the rare quality of is intellect had not destroyed n him a common touch with ;hose of humble endowments. Chere was that in his nature which drew men of high and ow estate to him. In the sa red circle of his intimates were to be found the lowly tnd the unlettered as well as he cultured and the scholarly. ipe learning was no barrier etween his heart and the eart of anyone whose pur oses were clean. The real tragedy of his pass ng is that his native State has ost one whose signal powers vere devoted to her service. kll forces which make for -ight in this world have lost L stalwart champion. The vi ality of his intellect and the )urity of his soul had made iim destined to supreme lead ,rship. God rest his noble spirit ! Committee: G. E. Shand, G. k. Buchanan, M. A. Wright.
