mmESIDENT BYRD MAKES ADDRESS Lectures to University Students on "Immortality." "Immortality" was the subject of an address delivered on Wed nesday night, October 19th by Dr. S. C. Byrd, president of Chicora College, before the stti dents of the University of South Carolina at the regular weekly meeting of the University Y. M. C. A. It has become the fashion of late, Dr. Byrd pointed out., for many persons of the ilk of 11. o. Wells to write that there is no other world than the present, no other life than the one now being lived. Mu1ltitudesi, though they never put their disbelief in words, have no "practical" belief in the immortality of the soul, Dr. Byrd said. Science contends, he said, that since the immortality of the soul can not be demonstrated, the theory that men live forever should be denied. There are, how ever, Dr. Byrd pointed out, many things in science that would indi cate the probability of immortali ty: the indestructibility of matter, the conservation of energy and the fact that though the individual dies the race is immortal. Science, he said, can not prove immortali ty; it can not disprove it and stu dents must therefore search else where for the solution of the prob lem. The soul of man, Dr. Byrd said, has many fundamental desires among them: a desire for all truth a desire for perfect beauty and a desire for perfect goodness. None of these goals are obtained in the present existence. "Always every thing is short of perfection," Dr. Byrd said. "Perfect truth, per fect beauty and periect goodness do not exist in this world. We must therefore look to another and a better. Those who hold to the dictum that one life at a time is sufficient, have at best a poor and unsatisfying philosophy." Maurice Matteson added no lit tle to the enjoyment of the after noon in his rendering of a solo, Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. held its regu lar meeting Monday afternoon in the Y. W. rooms. The devotional services were condlucted by Misses Mary Graydon and Marguerite Abel. Mr. R. G. Bell of the Uni versity "Y" addressed the girls on "An Influential Life" taking as a slogan All for Christ. After thme business, a social half hour was spent together, the Social Com mittee presenting a unique stunt, and later serving a light sup per. The social hour which is a feature of every Y. W. meeting creates a great deal of "college life" for the girls who have very little opportunity to meet on the UNIVERSITY BAND HAS ORGANIZED. The University Band is inak ing excellent progress under the efficient leadershii) of Mr. J. 0. Lanham, a senior lov student.
