ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL EXERCISES HELD Talks by Mr. DeWitt and Prof Rucker. Chapel exercises on Monday were set aside for memorial services to Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. DeWitt, chairman of the Roosevelt Memorial Associa tion in South Carolina, conduct ed the services. Mr. DeWitt briefly stated the purpose of his asso ciation and made a few re marks about the character of the late president. The address on Theodore 4 Roosevelt was delivered by Prof. E. Marion Rucker, of the , Law School of the University. i He stated that Roosevelt left two impressions on us all. One, c as a politician and another as cd a patriot. It was not his pur pose to discuss Roosevelt as a politician, but to consider him as a true patriot. Prof. Ruck er said that there were few of us in S. C. who admired his politics, but every American must admire the great man for his real red-blooded Ameri canism. He had the interest of his country at heart and his love for it was surpassed by none. We honor his memory, not as a president, but as a man; not his policies, but his character. Prof. Rucker said that no man had more influence in preparing the minds of the American people for the war with Germany. From the very beginning Roosevelt advocated the side of right and justice against Germany. He never ceased urging the nation to throw its weight in the scale against the powers who thought that Might could conquor Right. No man (lid more to build up a real red blooded America who was not afraid to cast her lot on the side of right. After Prof. Rucker's ad dh'ess, Mr. DeWitt told a few incidents of Theodore Roose.. velt's life which cast a light on the true character of the pa triot. -The (lay wvas the anniversary of the former president's birth and memorial services were held in all schools thruout the n?at ion.

He is well versed on banking, ac counting, insurance, general economics, rural economics, and other studies found in a financial school.

He is a man of excellent physique and will doubtless take a keen interest in athletics at the university. President McVey of the Uni versity of Kentucky sends the best recommendations to Dr. Currell for Professor Olson.
