Since the first day of January the Law School of the Univer sity has had many additions to its classes. Dean Thomas re sumed his duties at that time and the students are now hard at work. During the first term there were nine seniors and eleven juniors, total twenty. Since that time the new regis trations have brought the num ber of law students up to thirty seven, eighteen of which are seniors and nineteen juniors. The students are finding that the new law school building gives them unusually fine facili ties for pursuing their studies. The dean ofthe law school has been giving a special course upon the nature and sources of the laws of a modern State, also a course on law books and how CHAPEL TO BE ERECTED. In Honor of Heroes. Among the acts passed at the last meeting of the general as sembly of the State of South Carolina was an act providing for the erection of two build ings as memorials to the South Carolinians who rendered serv ice in the great world war; one of these buildings being dedi cated to the white the other to the colored race. Each of these buildings is to be constructed under the supervision of a spe cial commission. One will con sist of the governor of the State as chairman, ex officio; R. I. Manning, ex-governor, as vice chairman, and 14 other mem bers to be appointed by the gov ernor, two from each congres sional district, of whom some shall be women; the other is to consist of seven members to be appointed by the governor of the State. These commissions are to pro cure money for the erection of these building by soliciting con tributions from the citizens of the State. When they have clo lected as much as they deem necessary, the sum of $100,000 will be appropriated to each commission from the State treasury. The memorial building for the whites is of especial interest to everyone who is interested in the University, as this building is to be erected on the Univer sity campus. This memorial hall is to be one of the most ar tistic buildings in the State and will very probably rival the State capitol. Tablets, bearing the names of every Carolinian who sacrificed his life in the world war, are to be placed in various parts of the building. The plans for the construc tion and use of the building have i not been made yet, but it is cer tain that it will be used as a chapel and very probably as an administration building. It is possible that the literary society halls will be transferred to this; structure, however, this, is only conjecture. Miss Wil Lou Grey of the State Illiteracy Commission lec tured to Professor Gunter's class on Rural School Problems at its last meeting. A number of stu dents from Columbia' College joined this class at this meet ing. Misses Bessie Taylor and Kate Wofford have entered the University. Miss Wofford is an honor graduate of Winthrop. She is registered in the law school. HABENICHT McDOUGALL CO.
