SEMINARY STUDENT LECTURES ON CHINA Mr. Hudson Gives Talk on Life and Customs in China. An interesting address was made to the Sociology class on Wednesday afternoon by Mr. Hudson on the life and customs of the Chinese. Mr. Hudson, who is taking work on the campus, is a student at the Theological Seminary. He is the son of Dr. Hudson, a Pres byterian missionary in China. He told of the five classes of society, the Scholars first, who study the ancient literature and religion, next the farmers, who are given a high place, as theirs is the task of feeding society, then the laborers, who also have a high standing as they shelter society. The merchants stand low because their meth ods are corrupt, and business is mostly cheat and graft. The lowest ranking is given the sol diers, for they are regarded as destructive rather than con structive. He spoke of the enormous labor energy of the Chinese people and cited ex amples of the great walls which required so much labor and time, also the splendid canal system which is the usual way for travel as the roads are very bad. The Chinese, he said, are industrious people, and would become a powerful na tion if their energies would be directed in the right channels. After the address, Mr. Hud son quoted several lines in Chinese to give the class some idea of the language. Co-Eds Want a "Y. W." At a meeting of the Co-ed Association on Tuesday morn ing, Miss Elsie B. Heller, gen eral secretary, from the Na tional headquarters of the Y. W. C. A. gave a short talk on the organization and work of the Y. W. C. A. Until a dormi tory can be obtained it is im possible for the girls to have an association at the University, but it is Miss Heller's plan for the girls to take up Y. W. C. A. work through the Co-ed Asso ciation. Miss Heller has made arrangements to have all in teresting Y. W. C. A. literature sent to the Girl's Study. This will be posted on a bulletin board, where all of the Co-eds will have an opportunity to use it. The girls are very interested in Y. W. C. A. work and are anxious to take it up right away. Fresh. Billups: Let's sweep up this den and move all the furniture-where shall we put the radiator? LAW SCHOOL ENJOYS RARE TREAT. The students of the Law De partment had the pleasure last week of hearing Prof. Daly, of Chicago. This noted lawyer and lecturer gave a series of en lightening and inspiring dis courses on "How to find the Law." His opening address was delivered to the combined Senior and Junior classes on Monday after a brief introduc tion by Dean Thomas. On Tues day Prof. Daly explained to the coming barrister: Amer ican Digest and instructed them how to use it to the best advantage. On Wednesday morning the professor brought out his Reference Books and gave the class the actual prac tice in looking up the law in particular cases. Thursday the classes learned about Cita tors, Annotation, the various kinds of Reports and contin ued their work in the practical problems of finding the latest case in South Carolina on a giv en point of law. Friday the tables were turned and the class became the "learned counsel" and "your humble servant" undertook to answer questions, some irreval ent and some immaterial, fired at him from all parts of the lecture room. Prof. Daly bade the class good-bye with a choice bit of verse expressing the wishes of the Law Associa tion with "may we some time drift together." On Thursday night the mem bers of the Law Association ad journed the Moot Court in order to be treated to Prof. Daly's other address. As he expressed it he only allows himself to speak on two sub jects, and Thursday night the Lawyers heard him on "Scat tered Thoughts," and right well did he stick to his sub ject for his discourse which was largely in verse included every thing humorous, menues of ad vice to the Co-eds to choose well their shipmate on life's journey. Without exception last week was the most enjoyable as well as the most instructive the law school has yet passed, and it was with a feeling of regret thatthe law students saw Prof Daly leave, but with the knowl edge that he has greatly bene fited each member of the school with his instructions on how to find the case in point. I stole a kiss the other night, My conscience hurt alack! I think I'll have to go tonight, And give the darn thing back. --Swanee Pu rple GOODYEAR SHOE HOSPITAL W. D. LEVER, JR., Prop.
