COLUMBIA,.S.C., NO.DAY, NOV1v1BHR 14,1924 UnIVLMiI IUln IN ON ENGINEER'S SPEECH PERDUE MAN LECTURES Society Has Representatives In South Carolina at Cleinson, Citadel and Carolina. Monday night, (November 10th) punc tually on the stroke of eight-thirty as announced beforehand, Dean A. A. Pot ter, who is dean of engineering at Pur due University, Lafayette, Indiana, deli vered a lecture over radio from station WDKA, Westinghouse Lobratory, Pitts burgh Pennsylvania, on the subject "The Engir"eering College and The Public Welfare." A number of interested faculty men bers and engineering and science stu dents of the University of South Caro lina had the pleasure of hearing this lec ture from the loud-speaker and head-sets in the Physics Laboratory, the tuning in being done by Dr. A. C. Carson, pro fessor of. physics at the University. Dean Potter, who is the president of the Society for the Promotion of Engi neering Education, the only organization in the United States devoted to engineer ing education, stated, amond.other inter esting things, that "-The efforts of the Board of Investigation and Co-ordina tion, appointed by this Society to study wherein the engineering colleges could so improve curricula and methods as bet ter to co-ordinate the production of en gineering graduates with the demands of industry, were meeting with pronounc ed success, especially during the year since October 31st, 1923, when the Car negie Corporation set aside a sum of $108,000 for the purpose of making Pos sible a study of engineering education under the direction of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Educa tion." Dean Potter also said that the ideal purpose of fitting the engineer to learn to control both the material and the hu man problems that arise in all engineer ing tasks was gradually beginning to ')e realized, and that the engineer was bet ter learning in the training of the engi neering college of today the ways to live and to love than ever before in the histo ry of engineering education. In South Carolina, individual repre sentatives of the Society's program are to be found at Clemson College, The Citadel, and The University of. South Carolina, the personnel being Professsors E. L. Clarke, L. S. LeTellier, and Per ry M. Teeple, respectively the University being also an institutional member and one of sixty-one institutions co-opera ting with the Society in the investiga tions now being carried on as to engi neering education. Reports of the pro gress made are appearing nithly in the official publication of the Society, the Jotvrnal of Engineering Education, which contains in each issue much in formation of practical value to all uiem bers of the teaching profession and also to practicing engineers whose contact with engineering students is not limited to that of employment only. The annual meeting of the Society will be held at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., mn Junec 1925. -U.s.c. CO.EflS ELECT OFFICERS There seenms to have beep a misunder standing in the minds of some of the students oni the campus as to our Fresh man Class organizataion in the Woman's College. TIhis is only an organizatioun for the convenience of the girls in the dormitory and will not interfere in any way with the organization of the Fresh man Class as a whole. We all mean to b)e' on hand for the election of class of ficers on Saturday and expect to do our (lead level best to show the up)per-class men and faculty that we are the best Freshman class that has ever been to CAROLINA HAIL! Hail, Alma Mater I Grant us Thy blessing! Youthful, improvident Still vainly guessing Where may we look for Light, Save in thy loving eyes? Show us the way of Truth; Coifound her enemies! One hundred years and o'er, Loud sing our gleemen High and low, rich and poor, Thousands of freemen Here learned to serve the State, Deep to enshine Her In their heart's simple creed; "Love Carolina I" Now on Fame's bead-roll Shine they in story; Time shall extol their deeds, Increase their glory; Gist, how we rode to death, Joyous and fearless; Elliott, on Sumter's walls I Hampton, the pearless! Master Benefica, Radiant of beauty, Give us thy benison; Teach us our duty; Be thou our oriflamme Guarding and warning, As through the Night we march On to the morning! One of the most beautiful of our Caro lina Alma Mater songs has been lost sight of for several years, and is not familiar to the present students of hie University. It was written by Professor Yates Snowden on the occasion of the celebration of the University's Founders' Day in 1912. This song should certain ly be revived, and learned and sung by every student at Carolina. Vhen Dr. Snowden was in Italy seve ral years ago a certain Neapolitan air from the opera 'Santa Lucia' was a favo rite song of the day. He heard it where ever he went,-on the streets and in the hotels, sung by rich and poor, young and old, by every little 'rag-tag, bobtail, and hoho,' as he characteristically expressed it. The (lay that lie left Naples, as lie stood at the door of his hotel throwing coins to the urchins who trail the tourist in that region, these youngsters were singing it. When he sailed down the bay, the men on the boat also were singing it. The lilting cadence of the melody hatut ed him. He could not forget it. He con ceived the idea of writing a students' song to the tune and "Carolina. Hail !" was the result. Mrs. Lieze F. Lockwood adapted the music to the words, and the song signed "Innominato" was sung on Founders' Day by the students of the University. As a strange coincidence Mr. Bradley and Mr. Cook who were studying abroad at the time wrote Dr. Snowden after, hearing of his song that thousands of German students were singing the same tune. Dr. Snowvden's song is exquisite in words, sentiment, and music. In beau ti ful phrasing the writer has inlterp)reted the historic spirit of the institution, which for a hundred yea'rs has shown her sons "the way of truth,''' and has taught thou sands to serve their state as through the Night they "march on to the morn ing." Every University student who hears "Carolina, Hail I" wvill love it. Virginia Wauchope. -U. s.c."
