Mr. Lever made it clear that he was choosing a dangerous sub ject but he thought it an approp riate one for young men prepar ing for life to consider. At the conclusion of his ad dress the speaker was given "fif teen" by the students. The audi ence joined in singing "A Health to Carolina." - This was the first formal open ing in the history of the institu tion and dec-larel by Dr. Cirrell to be the most auspicious. The following new professors were in troduced and made brief remarks: Prof. J. B. Corrington, associate professor of biology; J. McB. I)abbs, associate professor of English ; associate professor H. N. Edmunds, of the law school, and the Rev. L. L. Carpenter, chaplain and professor of Bible. S THE THRONE Defeats Erskine in Game alunni and supporters on the sideliines, who made themselves known by much yelling and ad vice. The Carolina squad en tered after the Erskine aggrega tion, and led by Captain Gres sette, trotted over to their place by the bleachers. Then came the short and snap py signal practice of both teams, this being stopped by the shrill notes of the referee's whistle. At last the time had come ! The two teams had lined up, Carolina receiving and Phillips kicking ofl. The "tee" upon which he placed the ball was of iinusual heighth, the ball being about a foot from the ground. And when lie put his mighty foot against the pig skin, the ball rose and seemed shot from a gun. But it soon found a home, nestled1 ini the arms of a Garnet and Black warrior. From then on, the outcome of tihe gamie was in dloubt, for tihe fact that Phillips might at any time get away for a long run was enough to keep tihe sp)ectators upl in tihe air-.

Dean Frierson nade the first address of welcome to the new students in which he struck the keynote of the year's work. "We the faculty welcome you, not as teachers, but as fellow-students, because a true lawyer never ceases to be a stud ent." All present were impressed by the sincerity of Professor Fri erson's talk. The next speaker was Professor Rucker, the idol of the law school. IIe "purposed" not to talk much as they were going to hear from him later on. New law students are certainly in for a treat to hear Prof. Rucker lecture as he has the reputation of being one of the best speakers in the South. Professor Aycock was then in troduced.
