- A LAMENT. The type of publicity giver to certain recent events whicl took place on the campus, easi. ly explains the unfavorabl( criticism of Carolina which h frequently heard throughoul the entire State. Articles wer( printed under blazing headline in the. various newspapers 01 the State-articles, whicl would wreck the reputation o1 any college in existence. State. ments were made that showed an ignorance of conditions or the campus. These statementf could have only originated either in the too vivid imagina tions of over-zealous reporterf or the ill-utterances of disloyal connections of this institution. It is a deplorable fact thai the leading newspapers o1 South Carolina can find noth ing to fill their *columns othei than unsubstantiated reporti which will prove extremely det. rimental to the interests of th( institution which stands at th( head of the educational systerr of the State. It were far bettei to ignore the existence of th( college entirely rather thar give it such undesired and un called for publicity. It were fai better for the University and those of its connections, wh< are responsible for some oJ these statements, that the3 transfer their activities to in stitutions to which the allegi ance they have not given Caro lina can be given. It has become a fad in Co lumbia for the young ladies t< "treat" a soldier every day Two Carolina freshmen, dis tinguished members of the R 0. T. C., were standing in froni of the Rivoli Theatre yesterda3 when they were accosted b3 two girls. They were asked il they had seen the pictures Whereupon they replied yes. 0: course, neither had really seei the pictures, but both wer< broke, and naturally carec nothing about seeing it. The3 didn't know of the "fad" an( consequently were very muel embarrassed at the audacity o: the young ladies. This is not f joke; it's a fact. It doesn't -pa3 to be behind times these days. The baseball team of th4 University of South Carolinu will have practice games oi Saturday, Wednesday an< Thursday. The games in th< order named will be playe< with the Base Hospital team the Medical Detachment, an< the 48th Infantry, all of Camj Jackson. It is not known wh< will make up the team for thi University, but it is very prob able that all will have a chanci at some time during the game HIGH SCHOLARSHIP. In the pamphlet entitled "Does It Pay," which Dr. Reed Smith recently published, he de votes a chapter to a discussion of scholarship in high school and college. The entire bulle tin is well worth reading, but this chapter is of special inter est to college men. Dr. Smith, by means of statis tics gathered on alumni of leading universities in this country and England, shows that the college man who takes a high stand in his classes has a much better chance of "mak ing good" in after life than the mediocre student. Statistics show that of the high honor graduates of Oxford, one-half became men of distinction be fore middle age, whole of the graduates who had been only average students, one out of ten won distinction. Similar results were. obtained in a study of the alumni of the oth er universities. At Carolina we don't pay much-attention to high scholar ship. The fellow who studies hard is usually considered a back number, and he gener ,ally abandons this unpopular course after his freshman year. "I"-is the "gentleman's grade" at Carolina. So far as we know, the Uni versity gives no special en couragement to high scholar ship. Although many medals are given for oratory and de bating and block letters for athletics, there is no induce ment, no stimulant for a man to stand first in his studies. The only satisfaction a fellow gets is to see "a star" by his name on the bulletin board. We thoroughly agree with Dr. Smith that high scholar ship is worth while, and we would like to see the students take a different attitude to ward their studies.
