In ancient days the young men of Athens were required to take an oatlh of loyalty to the city of their birth. The students of the lni versity of South Carolina might take suchl anl oathl to thlemselves to be loyal to thleir alma mater. Thie following is tile oath withl tile wordl "University" substituted for "city."~ "We will never bring disgrace to this, our UnIiversity, by any act of dIishlonesty or cowardiice. We will fighlt for the ideals and1( siacred things of tile U niversity, both alone and with many. WVe will reveire and1( obey the lUiver sity's laws and1( we wviii (10 our best to incite Ia like reverence and1( re.s p)ect inl those abiove us who( are prone to ainnuli thlem or set them at nought.

Thus, inl all these wVays, we will traiinmit this Ui versity, not only nlot less, b)ut greater, better andl more beautiful thnan it was trnnsmitterl tno us. IN REGARD TO THE UNIVERSITY 'I'he I T,iversity of South Caro linlit was chartered ill 1801 as tile South Carolina C(ollege. the third State i'versit y inl the U'nited States. Inl tle iniids of its found ers it wis to edlulcate the voutls of the State and unite up-coultry and low-coiltry into ole harimo 0iouis whole. South Car-olina be (ame,111 remia ricbly honiogeneouls. This result was in large measure, if not chiefly, due to the South Carolina College. In Carolina were gathered the choice intellects of South Caro lina's sons. whether rich or poor. for the State fostered talent wher ever found. h'luis it was enabled to inake up for its small size and in the nation to ocvnpy a conuand ing position. From 1824 South Carolina led the South, and the alunni of the college. with views of government fashioned in their student days, led the State. Who shall say that they did not lead her well? They manifested their faith at Fort Sumter; sadly the remnant limped home from Apo Iattox. New founders, alumni of the old college, secred a charter for the University of South Carolina, which opened its doors in Janu arv 1866 only to he Closed sevenl years later in the black despair of reconstruction. The alumni of this brief period have beel the State's foremost citizens. When the mol,-e,-v was agae: es tablished in 1880, there was appa rent the saie high purpose of citizenship in its founders and the same high resolve in the young men who have sought her halls of instruction. Time nor space suif fices to give the naimes of teachers and stuidents familiar in the hoiseholds (of the State because of their service to their fellow men. II tiger could say of the yoNIg M Dufflie in the louise of Represen tatives that the State would be well repaid for aill tile money She hald spent on the college, if it had educated only eor-ge 'McDuif fie.
