The entire student body of the University regret deeply the loss sustained by Mr. J. McMahon Davis, popular member of the Senior academic class, who had the misfortune to 1.ose his father, Dr. J. M. Davis, of North, S. C., in a fatal accident last week. Dr. Davis was an alumnus of the University and his sudden death came as a shock to the student body as well as to his ann. BOARD OF TRUSTEES HOLD MEETING. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) beginning of the next session in September, the present tempo rary arrangement continuing until that time. The classes in the department are now being taught by Dil. W. S. Currell, president of the .university ; J. A. Stoddard, professor of sec-. ondary education, and the Rev. G. Croft Williams, secretary of the State board of public wel fare. Four vacancies remain yet to be filled on the faculty; the two law professorships, an assistant professorship in biology, and an assistant professorship in chem istry. These will be taken up at the June session. The board also took further ac tion against Greek letter frater nities, amending the university matriculation regulations to re quire every student entering the university to sign a pledge stat ing that he will observe the State statute in reference to Greek letter fraternities and similar institutions and, while a student at the university, will not in any way or manner be come a member of such an or ganization. A committee from the Democratic club of the Uni versity of South Carolina, an or ganization formed at the univer sity last year to combat propa ganda in favor of the formation of sub rosa fraternities and sim ilar organizations, waited upon the board of trustees to inform the board that the club ,had re organized last week and to trans mit to the board of trusees a copy of the club's constitution. A special committee was ap pointed to make a careful study of the needs of the university law school. The committee, af ter conferring with the law school faculty and the State bar association, will report back to the board of trustees at the June session in order that its findings and recommendations may be acted upon. It is the purpose of the trustees to take every step necessary to put the law school in the van of such institutions in the South and if any improve ments are necessary it is inti mated that the board will au thorize them at its next meeting. Members of the special cimmit tee are: B. A. Hagood, P. A. Willcox, C. E. Spencer and D. McK. Winter. It is a good rule to endeavor hour by hour and week after week to learn to work hard. It is not well to take up four min utes to do what you can accom plish in three. * * * It is well to learni to work intensive ly.-Chas. W. Elliott. A new application of the honor system h'as been inaugu rated at Cornell University. Hereafter students in the col lege of civil engineering will turn in their own nasnces. SENIOR ENGINEERS INSPECT WATERWORKS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE i.) containing mud and the chemi cals flows by gravity through two pipes into the eastern end of two rectangular; sedimenta tion basins at regular intervals, the timing being controlled by a five-way valve in the dosing house. The lime and magnesia car bonates in the water combine with the aluminum, sulphate forming aluminum carbonate; the latter dissolves water and gives off free carbonic acid and changes into alinunim hydrate, a transparent gelatinous mass, which invelopes the particles of clay in the water; these roll to gether and become larger through adhesion and thus the mud subsides, destroying most of the turbidity of the water. The mud is monthly washed out of the two basins into the sewer through drains at the lowest points of each, near their middle. The water, practically clean now, travels in a sheet from the east end to the west end of the basins, passes through a long -shallow or ifice into a pipe and is conveyed to the filter beds. The twelve operate on what is known as the rapid sand filteration 'system. The filteration station is the newest building in the plant. tI is equipped with a laboratory for making all required tests of the water, with office, library, and with a chlorinating outfit, to kill the possible disease pro ducing bacteria that might escape the coagulating process. Chlorine in liquid form is fed into the water that leaves the filter beds in the ratio of about 26 parts per one million. From the filter the water flows into the "clear well," from which it is drawn by gravity into the pumping station into the park. Here two induction motors drive centrifugal pumps which force the purified water through a venturi meter into the city mains an dthen, when they are full, into the standpipe on Arsenal Hill. The venturi meter is a 24-inch pipe constructed to an eight inch throat and registers the rate of flowv upon a 24-hour auto graphic chart in thousands of gallons per minute. The pres sure at the mains, averaging about one hundred and thirty pounds per square inch, is rec orded both upon a gauge and upon a 24-hour autographic chart, which gives a complete and visible evidence of every va riation the pressure undergoes and thus affords a sensitive check upon the operation o fthe waterworks as a whole. The Department of Engineer ing and the students who made the inspection trip wish to thank Mr. White for his kindness in patiently guiding them and clearly explaining to them the operation of the plant and thus making more real to them some of the basic working principles of hydraulics and water suppl.
