On account of the fact that the
Gamecock is going to press a little
earlier this week than usual the
scores of the B. 1). G's. can not be
printed in this issue It will come
out in the next issue. The attend
ance for this week was a material
increase over the previous weeks.
Two new classes were organized
this week and started with good
membership, one class in East
Woodrow will be taught by
Mr. Dick at nd the other in
Harper will be taught by Mr.
Bell. Altho getting a late
start these classes are enthusiastic
and they promised that they are
going to have good classes just the
same. On account of the impend
ing crash and fracas at the fair
grounds on Th1ursday and the at
tending exhausted state of nerves,
brains an(] bodies of the students
on Friday, the Bible classes will
not meet this week.

The Oath of the University.
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

wVays, we will traiinmit this Ui

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
