Minister and Missionary Archibald Campbell, crewman for University of Washington, all round athlete, engineer, explorer, minister and missionary has been spending three clays at the University under the auspices of the University Y. M. C.. A. Mr. Campbell, a fine type of man hood, standing a little over six feet, has made a fine impression on the student body as the new type of mis sionary that the Boards are seeking to send to the foreign countries. During his college clays he was a member of the famous crew from the west which was the first one to give any compe tition to the crack eastern crews. He was engaged in several other kinds of athletics also. . After graduating at Washington he spent some time in Alaska as an en gineer and explorer. After returning to the United States he went to Prince ton University,, and from there to Korea where he served as a missionary. He is now home on his first furlough. Speaking in Chapel, Mr. Campbell said that the mission boards were look ing for the finest men that the college could afford to send out to represent Christianity in heathen nations. He also called attention to the fact that Mohammedanism is growing fast, that it is up to the college men of this age whether another type of culture and religion shall dominate the world or our type. During the day Mr. Campbell has spent his time interviewing students who are interested in going to a For eign field. There at present 8 stu dents at the University who are al ready volunteers and it is to be re menmbered that the University has sent quite a number of men into this kind of work. MOTHER STATE HOLDS CAROLINA GRADUATES Columbia Is the Most Ideal Place of Location for the State University GRADS SETTLE CLOSE BY Not Many Who Are Graduated From the University. Ever Leave the Soil of the Palmetto The wisdom of the founders of the University in locating it at Columbia has long since been abundantly dem onstrated and justified. Columbia not only is the capital and the common property of all the people of the State, but also occupies the geographical center of the State. It is, therefore, most conveniently situated for the greater number of the people. Its central location means the saving of thousands of dollars annually to the people in time and the cost of trans portation. Furthermore, it is an es tablished fact that young men and women very generally settle within the environment that is familiar to them. As a rule they do not wander far from the place in which they are reared or the place in which they have been educated. The central location of the Univer sity, therefore, adds greatly to the upbuilding of the State. South Caro lina has been losing too many of her native born citizens to other States. According to the census of 1920 of those born in South Carolina 305,018 were then living in other States. Among these, according to Who's Who in America, there were 135 per soils of outstanding prominence and ability. Our net loss of native born citizens to other states was 193,942 and our net loss of citizens of out standing prominence and ability was. 87. Students of our institutions of higher learning and more especially those supported by the State should be impressed with the duty and de sirability of settling within the State, but the State itself should do its part especially in the matter of making the compensation of teachers comparable to the salaries paid in adjacent states. The location of the University and the policy now being pursued by it has contributed to keep the great ma jority of its graduates within the State. Of the 134 graduates of the class of 1924 all are now living in South Caro lini elcept 23. Of the graduates who settled out of the State , were non-resident students who returned to their several homes so that South Carolina lost only 14 of the class of 134. Of the 92 gradua tes of the class of 1923 all are now liv ing in South Carolina except 16. Of the graduates who settled out of the State 6 were non-resident stu dents who returned to their several homes so that South Carolina lost on ly 10 of this class. The detailed tabulation of the mem bers of the two classes will be found below: CL.ASS 1924.
