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.

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.
