I am broke Do not misunderstand me, dear friend-thinking that I am destitute of good health, of sound mind, of strong body, nor suppose that the bone of my back, commonly called the spinal column, is frac tured, or any other of those mar -owry structures of my frame. Quite the contrary, I am men - tally, bodily, and bonily well. I have no disposition to envy the - strongest mule in existence, for altho I am not as strong as a mule, yet my muscle power is not a jot less than it ought to be. But, when I say that I am broke, I have reference to the condition of my wallet, my "tight-wad" bill fold, my little leather case of many apart ments, or, in other words, my own dear pocketbook. Some lovesick swain is prone to call his "swaina" my own dear," but I prefer to apply that appella tion to the ithing nearest my heart-the thing which carries that coin, kale, greenbacks, "nails," or whatever you wish - to call it, that will get you whithersoever you so desirest to go and which will purchase a ticket by which you mayst be admitted to a little uptown cafe or restaurant. I say these two items can he filled by the con tents of that pocketbook of yours, but these are not all by any means. Where the term came from, the term or word, "broke," which they use when you are destitute of funds, coin, or the wvherewi thall to go somewhat or to purchase something to eat, as mentioned above, is utterly outside of my range of compre hension to find out, discover, or uncover. And since my range of comprehEnsion is something less thain zero right at this time, I am more helpless than ever. But the word is with us and I supT)ose it means to stick around for qui'.e a spell. At any rate, I am broke. It is evening, wvarm, and the birds are sweetly calling me away from my studies. I did not have the slightest inclination to study when that obsolete idea first slid into the baickdoor of my skull ar.d entered my certex, that la byrinith of passages in the skull or under it called the gray mat.. ter of the cerebrum. I have no overstocking of this socalled gray matter, allow me to add. Well. how can I force (lull knowl edge int) that poor gray mat ter when I hear the birds tweet ing so sourly. I slam the book down towards the table. I am a bad shot. The table is missed by a hundredth of a yard and I am forced to bend or incline my body at an angle of thirty degrees, more or less, to scoop the book up from the floor. It immediately finds a resting place on the table. Then I recollect that I am broke. What a bril liant and at the same time dark recollection! Those houses where "Fatty" Arbuckle, Charles Chaplin, and all those pretty little girlies hang out might just as well be barred with iron bolts. I cannot ob trude myself within those sweet ly swinging doorways. Those little booths or arbuths where such luscious productions of southernmost Africa hang sus pended, where those grassy green apples from North Car olina and New York lie expec tantly for someone to caress them with his or her cheesey colored teeth could just as well gone unmanufactured. Nor was there any use of those concoc tions which they concoct at so called concoction fountains ever being concocted. For I. am broke. Entirely. Ah! I have it!-I will drop down and see Alice. I start to singing and brushing my hair. I adjust my tie. When sudden ly it occurs to me, that this is the other fellow's night out with A lice and besides-I am brok ! A bsolutely ! Oh per fidious thought. Why will it ncA va cate and absent itself from my cortex. There is only one re course. I pick up my English Parallel and begin readling ''The G arden of Allah," a book highly recommended by my professor in English. I am so entranced that the thought of being broke abruptly leaves my mind and I readl far into the night and into the book also. I am broke no longer. It is a new day and that much-looked for check has protruded itself into my hands. I am happy again. I whistle so loudly that people stare and wonder. But -"No one but God and I know what is in my heart." DID YOU KNOW THAT T1he University was founded i n 1801 ? i t was founded un der the title "South Carolina Colleie ?" T he first sess'on opened on January 10, 1805? There were only two professors to handle the students, Prof. 11axcy and Prof. Hanford? WVhen the college closed in July of that year there were 29 stu dents in school? That the wall around the cam pus was built in 1835, with a height of nine feet, but was cut down in some places, in 1883 to its present height? TIhat the Maxey monument was unveilded in 1827 by the Clariosophic Society? The de signer was Robert Mills. That the name of the Univers ity has three times been "South Carolina College," ,three 'times "University of South Carolina" and that from 1880 to 1882 it was called the "Agricultural P- d Mechanical College?" That the first edition 'of the Annual came out in 1899? That the Carolina colors were selected in 1895, when a pen nant of that .color was given to the captain of the football team by the mlembers of the family of Dr. J. William Flynn, who was professor and chaplain at the University until 1906?
