C.F 'ROFESSOR TABER BACK FROM ISLAND 4akes Report On Puerto Ricean Earthquake Stephen Tabor, professor of geology t the University of South Carolina, as recently returned from Puerto tico where he went in the company f Dr. H. F. Reid of Johns Hopkins fniversity to investigate the series of arthquakes occurring on the island ctober 11 and 24. Professor Taber said that he and Ir. Reid found the quake and the oth r disturbances since that were were aused by vertical displacements along he fracture of the bed of the ocean ear Borinquen at the northwest cor er of the island. The jar of the earth .used by the displacement in the bed f the ocean originated an Immense ?a wave ,according to Professor Ta er, that reached a maximum height f 20 feet. The wave destroyed much roperty on the coast of the island. prooting cocoanut trees, small houses nd drowning inhabitants in its wake. rofessor Taber said the total damage mounted to over $2,000,000 from the irthquake and sea wave. The quake id more damage in the western part f the island, although it was destruc ve in all parts. Dr. Reid and Professor Taber com lied a preliminary report of the dis irbances which was given to Gov. rthur Yager of Puerto Rico. In the 2port they state that the immense mount of damage and loss of life as caused mainly by poorly con ructed houses, which crumbled un er the least pressure or jar. The re ort recommends the erection of bet 'r houses. According to their report, over 300 ves were lost by the earthquake and a wave. Dr. Reid and Professor Ta er advised the governor that the re nt disturbances of October 11 and 2' cre not unnatural and similar dis irbances might again occur in the fu re. An oficial report will later b iv(n to Newton D. Baker, secretary war, at whose request the investi ition was made, and will be transmit d to Governor Yager by Secretary aker. Professor Taber spoke interestingly his trip to the island and said h. ad Dr. Reid were royally eatertained every town they visited, which in uded practically all of any size. ovcrnment officials aided the geolo ists in every way possible. The in abitants of some towns were panic ricken and had fled from the towns open country to avoid being in ouses if other disturbances were to :cur. Professor Taber said their at [val had been awaited with much im itience by the Puerto Ricans, many whom thought they had becn scn: stop further earthquakes. While on is investigation tour Professor Taber [sited Virgin Islands, purchased sonic me ago by the United States from enmark. Professor Taber has resumed his ats work at the university. CORRECTS ERROR. The statement was reccntly made by ie press that the University of South arolina was not among the accredit I schools recognized by the West oint Military authorities and the But 'au of Education at Washington. resident Currell immediately took ec matter up both with the West oint authorities and the Bureau of dlucation and was told that the uni ersity had been on thir list of ac -edited schools sincen 1910. COOPERATIVE PLAN BEGINS SECOND TERM Limited Number Of Men Can Register Arrangements have been completed to allow a limited number of students to take the cooperative engineering courses planned last year. These courses were to have been inaugurated at the beginning of the first semester but the establishment of the Student Army Training Corps and other causes necessitated a delay. Under this plan technical students will be allowed to work one half of their time during their attendance at the university thereby giving them in valuable first hand training. Two men will be assigned to each job, one working the first month while the oth er attends the university. They will alternate at the end of the month until they have finished the course. The university repeates the subjects taken so that the man during his month of work does not return to find that he is hopelessly behind in his studies. Cooperative courses in engineering are not new and are already well de veloped in a number of our universi ties and without a single exception are very successful. Cincinnati uni versity started ten years ago with about thirty men and at the present time there are about five hundred in cluded in the cooperative engineering courses in that institution. Men desiring admission to these cooperative courses should communI cate with M. Goode Homes, dean of the cngineering school of the univer sity. Full information concerning the pian can be obtained by writing J. 0. Van Meter, director of the university extension department, for Bullct.n No. 68 which contains a lull account of the course and subjects offered. PROFESSOR BRADLEY AT PEACE CONFERENCE Fcrmer University Professor Now Captain Overseas. Capt. Francis W. Bradley, for' e ly professor of modern languages and a graduate of the University of South Carolina, appears in a picture in the magazine section of the Sunday N"w York Times, under the title, "The American Armistice Delegates at Spa, Belgium, the former German em peror's headquarters, and now the seat of the representatives of the bel ligerents charged with carrying out the terms of the armistice." Captain Bradley is with the armis tice commission as interpreter or as he puts it in a recent letter to a friend at Carolina, "I have been sent hero for the purpose of interpreting but I have also absorbed some other duties." The commission at Spa is composed of tcn members and Captain Bradley is seen in the upper row of the picture with three other American officers. Fricnds of the former professor WI'l dloubtless be pleased to know that he has been attached to such an im portant commission invested with power to carry out the terms of ar mistice with the Germans. Professor Bradley attended the first train-n camp at Oglethorpe and was comnuis sioned first lieutenant at the con.:lu sion of his course of training. He was scnt to France early after he received his commission and has seen hard ser vice in tha country and elsewhere. He was only recently promoted to a cap taincy.
