Dr. Foster is speaking this week at the University of Georgia. The Uni versity is having such a great time with him that they telegraphed Mr. Bell asking him to postpone the meet ing for another day so they could keep Dr. Foster for another meeting. However, the schedules were printed and arranged and the request could not be granted without a great deal of confusion. Following is an extract from a letter received from the Uni versity of Georgia. "Dr. Foster's first meeting was at the First Presbyterian Church, Sun day morning. The meeting was well advertised. The Fraternities were in vited to attend in a body and six or eight availed themselves of the op portunity. There were more people present than we could get into the church. The same thing was true of the night service at the First Baptist Church. -verybody in Athens is talking about Dr. Foster and his great mes sage. He has reached a number of students and professors who claim to be liberal in their thinking." At Athens they have arranged for a Forum for students who would like to ask questions. This same thing will be arranged at Carolina if there is a demand for it. He is to take over an average of three class periods a day while here. - U.s.c. - Buy Senior Invitations Now Saturday Last Day.

IN SESSION OF 1896 MRS. 0. L. KEITH FIRST University Was Confined to Four Walls-Davis and LeConte Not Built In 1895, when the legislature passed the bill admitting co-eds to the Uni versity, then the South Carolina Col lege, it was with hearty disapproval among the professors and boys. It was considered only an experiment. Frances Guignard Gibbes, now Mrs. Oscar L. Keith, was the first woman to be enrolled in the institution. When it was known that she wanted to enter the college, Dr. James Woodrow, presi dent of the institution, wrote a letter of disapproval to her father, saying that it was very unwise to send her there. However, she came in order to receive instruction needed to pur sue a literary career. More Co-eds came the next year, making seven or eight in all. They, feeling the responsibility of the expe rinent, and unwilling to let the boys get ahead of them, made the goal for their marks-"the double star" which was the highest that could be made. The campus at that time was con lined to the four walls. Davis and LeConte colleges were still undreamed of. The chemistry and physical labo ratories were in the "Old Science Hall" -now the remodeled gymnasium. There was only one room which the girls could call their own for study. It was in West De Saussaure. The library was their most frequently used study place. The Co-eds were required to attend chapel at nine o'clock every Monday morning and report "Yes" or "No" in regard to going to church the day be fore. A sorority was formed and the meet ings were held in West De Saussure. It is said that the initiations at that time were severe. - U.

SOuTH CAR( OF CHEMISTRY ARE IPS BY FIVE UNIVERSITIES ARE DOWLING AND M'KEE Now Doing Graduate Work Here And Instructing in Chemistry -Dowling to Princeton f. I. Dowling of Saluda, graduate student in science at Carolina, has ac cepted a teaching fellowship to Prince ton to work on his doctor's degree and will leave for the Tiger City the mid (ie of September, according to an an nouncement made exclusively to THE GAMECOCK last evening by Dr. G. F. Lipscomb of the Department of Che mistry of the University. Dowling, an instructor in Chemistry, received his B. S. at Carolina in 1924 and is a candidate for M. A. in Chem istry this June. He was also offered fellowships at Maryland and North western Universities. These awards were made last week by the Depart ment of Chemistry on a basis of grad uate and research work done under Dr. Lipscomb. A member of the South Carolina Academy of Science Dowling relivered a paper at the recent meeting in Col umbia on "A study of the effect of Hydrogen and Nitrogen upon the life of cotton." At present Dowling ex pects to be at Princeton next year to teach undergraduate classes but there is a possibility that he will remain at Carolina another year to finish some research work if he is unable to com plete it by mid-summer. in this event he will go to Princeton the following year. A. H. McKee, better known on the football field as Buddy, was offered fellowships to Lafeyette, Princeton and Yale at the same time as Dowling's offer was made known, but up to the present time has not accepted any of these. McKee is also a member of the Aca demy of Science and at the recent meeting delivered a paper on "Catalitic Organic exidation ,with salts of Vana dium." He is a graduate of Columbia High where lie specialized in Chemis try, received his B. S. at Carolina in 1923 and will receive a M. S. this June. It is understood that McKee may remain at Carolina another year to finish his research in the field upon which he delivered his paper to the Science group,. in such event he will go to one of the Universities offering him a fellowship the following year. The offer of tlies- fellowships to University of South Carolina grauates is proof of the high scholastic esteem held or the University throughout the country and speaks well for the Department of Chemistry, of which every full professor is a Ph. D. The faculty oi this department are G. F. Heidelberg and W. A. Whitesell, Johns Lipsconib, Princeton; W. B. Burney, Hopkins. Tlhe Departument of Chem istry also has the most complete lihra ry in the South adnd one of the b)est in the country. Graduates in Chemistry at Carolina have madle a name for themselves in the Chemical world and many have responsible positions wvith bilig com pamies. of course the Gamecock orchestra will furnish the music. Many out-of towvn guests will be present and we amll are looking forward o May 7th with much pleasure." |LINA |
