Wells Chosen for Game cock Editor, L. N. Connor Carolinian Editor. At a joint meeting of the Clariosophic and Euphradian Literary Societies, the publish ers of the two student publica tions, The Gamecock and The Carolinian, on last Friday morning, A. L. Wells was chosen to be editor of The Gamecock and L. N. Connor edibor of The Carolinian.

The business and circulation staffs are elected for the entire school year. Mr. Wells is an efficient newspaper man, and The Gamecock will be a live college weekly under his direction. Mr. Connor is likewise an excellent magazine man, and a good judge of short stories, essays, sketches and the type of liter ary work that make up a mag azine. Messrs. Wells and Connor have contributed great ly to the success of The Game cock and Carolinian during past years.

Chitty, '11, is teach ing school in Olar.

ON NORTHERN TRIP. Trinity College and University of North Carolina Emerge Victors. In the first two college games of the season, Carolina's ba! ketball five were turned back the losers. The games played were with Trinity College at Durham, N. C., and the Univer sity of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, and were the first of a series of five games played by the Gamecocks on a trip into North Carolina and Vir ginia. No official. accounts were received of the remaining games in time to be published in this week's Gamecock. Trinity proved to be too much for the Gamecocks, win ning the game with consistent passing and steady handwork. The Methodists started the game with a rush, the first half ending with the score 15 to 4. For their part, the Gamecocks started the second half with a rush, but failed to carry on, the final score being 40 to 12. The second game of the trip went to the University of North Carolina by the socre of 34 to 15, the Tarheels showing more speed and cleverer passing than did the Gamecocks, who were somewhat slow and trust ed to long shots, many of these failing to fall thru the cage. Foy shot three long goals. Carolina's lineup in both games was as follows: Sparkman, L. F. Wallace, R. F. Foy, C. Vaughan, L. G. Waite, R. G.

WILLCOX MAKES SPEECH. One Hundred Twentieth Anni versary Observed at Ban quet Last Thursday. A great foregathering of men mnd women, to whom South Car olina is more than any other 1 State and the "capstone of South Carolina's educational system," the University, more than any other educational institution was the banquet in the Jefferson Ho-! tel last Thursday night, cele brating the 120th anniversary of the founding of Carolina. Stu leit, professors, alumni, trus tees, members of the general as sembly, citizens of South Caro lina- -all were -impressed with glory of the University's age, the purity of its traditions, the value of its service in the past,! its aspirations and promise for the future. The spirit of the meeting, the opinion of each of the 300 men and women pres ent, was aptly epitomized in the words of the principal speaker, I'. A. Willcox, who gave as his belief that "the Lord could have made a better State University and put it in another State-but He simply didn't do it." One hundred and twenty years ago the University was chartered and 116 years ago it first opened its doors to the youth of the State.

Educational Leadership. "The University is the place, Governor Cooper, the first speaker, said, "to which the State looks for educational lead-1 erjhip. There is its responsi bility and its opportunity." Gov ernor Cooper recounted the in-' stitution's triumphs of the past pointing out that the State could not afl'ord to take a backward' step when making provision for "those unborn." "The business of, the University," the governor said, "is education. The hope1 of the State is education. It is not only the hope of the present but of the future for education is the very basis of a happy peo (ONNUfiiiED ON IAO 3.)a W. T. C.

The following letter to Gov ernor Cooper by a former trus Lee of the University, our be loved and honored Dr. W. T. C.
