It will show the people of Columbia and of South Carolina that the Uni versity is capable of starting and carrying to a successful finish anything that is of material value to the University. This will inspire confidence in the college and will be of great value in the future in insuring closer cooper ation between the people and the University. Alex R.

Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, of Chicago, was a distinguished vis- - itor on our campus last week and - appeared before the weekly Y meeting, where he rendered a most interesting and instructive talk on Cexology. A well filled hall greeted the speaker and he gave a heart to heart talk on a subject of great iinportance to all young men. It will be - remembered by many that Dr. Hall gave this lecture two years ago in the Uni versity chapel, but his recent visit was none the less valued and his timely remarks and ad vice will be wisely taken. It was indeed with interest and at tention that students listened to him arid resolved to henceforth be more thoughtful of their sur : roundings and habits. Dr. Hall's address will be well remembered and appreciated. tory this year with ten mem bers-.in the senior class, several of whom are doing work with - the highway diepartmen~ already. ~ Joseph Murray, liL.
