These two honors alternate between the two so cieties. - U.S.C. - Melton is Host to Campus Celebrities (Continued from Page One) a wise one for he almost reached for his key to soon. Prof. Edmunds. faculty advisor of athletics at the University presented gold footballs to the members of the freshman team. Prof. Ediunds before awarding the footballs, congratulated the teams upon their splendid showing dur ing the past season. They were. lie de clared a pair of the best football teams in the history of the University., Edmunds Makes Athletic Awards As eacah man stepped forward, Prof. player's work during the season. In In presenting Mike Windus, star fresh man end, the first of the silver trophies. Prof. Edmunds introduced him as the "Mayor of Newark". Captain Long was called upon to speak to the guests and while he was searching for "Red" Fulmer freshman captain was invited to say a few words. Coach Stoney said that "Red" had de livered the p)rin1cipal address at the Char leston banquet on the evening after the Citadel game.

Jimmy responded with cheers for the honor guests, the hosts, and the University. Bocock's Measure of Men Coach Bocock concluded the talks of the evening'. Coach congratulated his men for the wvork that they have donc this year. The measure of thei-r ac complishments, he said, is not in the number of games won or lost but in their conduct on the gridiron. The great est contribution of college to a man's life is his personal association, not what honors lhe had attained. Bocock statedI that hi-s idea of athletics was not 'to put out a team of winners but to put out ai clean-hard-fighting team. His mark of the man, he concluded, was based n "howv he played the game" From the balcony the quartet agaili gave a selection, from its verse, evidently from the old ballad "When the Water melons Are Ripe. The Moon is Full. An encore was called for. The evening closed with the singing of "We Hail thee Carolina." - u.s.c. - "Where are you from?" "South Dakota." "My I You don't talk like a South erner." -Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern DR. MITCHELL SPEAKS ON UNIVERSAL PEACE Says "Government Is a Habit" -During Talk at Chapel Monday "Government is a habit," said Dr. S. C. Mitchell in a talk ii chapel, Mon day. "We have reason to be disap pointed with our government's foreign policy. We should re-introduce our youth to Edmund Burke, of whom Woodrow Wilson said, 'I must confess that Edmund Burke made my mind.' In the speech of Dr. Mitchell there were many statements, brief, lucid and forceful on questions of national and interna.tional affairs. Some of them are 'given below : "Just after the War of 1812, in Feb ruary 1815, a man named Jackson-I cannot remember his first name-ad vocated the demolition of all forts on the Canadian boundry. That's why the longest international boundry line in the world is without fort or fleet. "Every week day that passes, Eng land pays the United States $500,000, and will keep this up for 62 years. Is this right? "The atheist is the man who does not believe in the efficacy of truth. The American people is opposed to militarism. Before the World War, the United States army was smaller than the police forces of sereral Euro pean countries. Both the great English speaking nations of the world have developed in themselves, a league of nations each different, yet, alike,-and it is on ly a short step to a world league. "America is going to enter the Lea gue. Why can't the University of South Carolina be, not only represent ed at the World Court conference, but also at Geneva at the summer school of international politics?" - U.s.c. - HYPATIANS HAVE AN IMPROMPTU PROGRAM At the regular meeting of the Hypa tian Literary Society in the Clariosophic Hall Wednesday afternoon an improm ptu programe was given. A debate; Resolved, "That Co-educa-' tion should be generally adopted in Am erican Colleges and Universities." was scheduled but because several of the participants had 'to play in the hockey tcurnament, the debate was postponed until after Christmas. Several childrenis poems were read and impromptu debate was called, Re solved, "That Children are Happier than Grown-ups." There were no judges and on the vote of the Society the two sides tied. - U.S.C. - LIBRARY GETS NOTE WRITTEN BY GEN. R. E. LEE GIFT OF MRS. YOUMAN Sent to Committee of South Car olinians Concerning Martial Law on Coast A letter, written by Geni. Robert E. Lee, has been presented to the Uni versity library by Mrs. Pringle You man of Asheville. The letter was writ ten to a committee of South Carolin ians, of whom Gen. L4e Roy Youmans was a member, in regard to the esta blishment of martial law on the sea coast of South Carolina in 1861. Following is a copy: Headquarters, Coosawhatchie, S. C. 3rd. December 1861 Tro Messrs. William Elliott Ednmund Rhett Committee ect. LeRoy Youmans Gentlemen: I have hadl the honor to receive the Resolution passed by the citizenis of Beaufort Dist: at their meeting Coosa whatchie on the 1st inst: requesting me to establish Martial Lawv on the Seacoast of So Ca. within prescribed limits. The present condition of things in my opinion does not render such a course advisable. There is as yet no operation of the enemy to justify the SCIENTISTS TO AGAIN GATHER AT UNIVERSITY MEETS HERE IN MARCH University Takes Notable Place in Program of S. C. Acad emy of Science Again next year, the University of South Carolina will be host to the South Carolina Academy of Science,. Last year was tlte first meeting of the organi zation, which met here, and the mem bers were so pleased with the arrange ments that it was again selected as he ,place of meeting. The convention will be here March 10, 1926. An interesting program with many new features is being arranged for the meeting. Two sessions will be held, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Last year, the University had a prominent part in the program, several of the professors making talks and students in the science department reading papers. The membership of the academy has now reached 75 and others are being ad ded gradually. The requirements for membership are: "a lively interest in science and a desire to promote and im prove scientific development in the state." Arrangements for the meeting were made at a specitl session of the execu tive committee of the academy held in this city at the call of Dr. F. H. H Calhoun of Clemson college, president. Dr. A. C. Moore of the University fac ulty is a member of the executive com mittee. - U.S.C. Science Shows New Miracles-Mitchell (Continued from Page One) grief, but this was not Christ's purpose. "We must look upon the world, not as made, but in the making. 'Society is a crystalization-the only constant thing is change,' said the Greeks. 'All is charge ; eternal progress ; no death.' "We must take a wider interest in world policies, if we would carry out Jesus' admonition, 'My father work eth even until now, and I, his son work also. I'm not willing to see pictures of five year old children work ing in cotton mills in China.' Mitchell Defines Orthodoxy "Orthodoxy means 'right thinking,' but modernists would render it, 'thou shalt not think.' We are going to emerge from Klu Kluxism and intol erance. "When Christ's disciples questioned his healing on the Sabbath, he answer ed 'Away with speculation. Let us lend this man a hand.' It is characteristic of Jesus to open tip the careers of nen, saying 'Friend, go tip higher.' '-'Desparing of none." This should be the motto of a teacher. The time el ement does not count in achievement. Philosophy Key Of Life "Most of you came up here with a nursery ntotion of religion, learned at your mother's knee. Philosophy opens a new world, and unless your religion can adjust itself to these truths, there is going to lbe a cleavage. Huxley said, 'There are but two things in the world; energy and the law which controls it.' "In a bulletin, published by the Uni versity or North Carolina, 'How the Tenant Farmer Lives in North Caro lina,' it is shown that the average white farmer with a family of five, has an in come of $153 a year. David Coker says that there are millions of white people in the United Staes who get only 12 cents a day." D)r. Mitchell closed his talk with prayer. interruption of the civil lags, and( though many of the citizens of the State are necessarily engaged in mili ary duties, there must still be sufficient to attendl to its civil service. In no part of the Confederacy has it been found necessary to arrest the couirset of the lawvs of a State. I should only be resorted to as a last extremity, which I do not see has yet arrived in South arolina. I am with greatt respect Your Obt. Servant.
