cessful ever held at this institution
says Prof. J. A. Stoddard who is to be
as he has been for the past five years
director of this phase of the Univer
sity's work.
The faculty of the Summer Schoo
is to be larger than that of last year
for a considerable increase in the num
ber of students is expected. Since i
was reopened in 1920, the increase eacl
year has been tremendous and it ha:
grown from 67 in that year to 526 is
1925. No doubt the enrollment for th<
coming session will exceed 650.
In order to care for this expecte
and almost certain increase severa
new -professors have been engaged
The faculty will number 52, not includ
ing special lecturers and instructors.
In addition to many of the regular
faculty members, the Summei Schoo
has been fortunate in obtaining a con
siderable number of South Carolinian
who are noted for their work in the
field of education.
Some of these have taught at prev
ious summer schools but several wil
teach at Carolina for the first time this
summer.
Have Prominent Teachers
Among the list are Prof. H. S. Ed
munds of Sumter High school, Maj
J. D. Pulp who is now State High
School. Inspector, W. H. Hand, super
intendent of the Columbia city schools
and Miss Kate Wofford, superintend
ent of education in Laurens county
and at present, the president of the
State Teachers Association.
One of the most noted of those wh<
will teach at Carolina this summer i
Dr. S. M. North, State High schoo
Inspector in Maryland.
Of especial interest to Carolina stu
dents is the fact that Professor Park
inson, now working for a Ph. D. a
Peabody, will be back and will teact
at the summer session.
E. M. Smith, a Carolina graduat<
now at Parker High, Greenville, wil
also instruct as will Dr. G. P. Voigt.o
Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio,
Mr. Voigt received his degree o
Doctor of Philosophy from Carolini
last year and is one of only three met
to hold that degree from the Univer

Burton has taught English and lect

GIRLS CLASH ON MARCH 12
High School Week in April
Declaimers Reduced From
100 to 18
The championship of South Crrolina
high school basketball will be deter
mined next Friday night in the gym
nasium, when the winner from the up
per districts will play the winner from
the lower section. Last year, Charles
ton won over Parker in a close game.
The following Friday, March 12, the
girl's basketball championship will be
decided.
Then, on April 21, 22, 23, High School
Week will be held at the University,
with students from all over the state
assembling to compete in track, debate,
declamation, expression, English, Lat
in, stenography, and athletics.
Contrary to the rule of the past few
years, in the declamation, expression,
and track, the winners from each dis
trict will be represented rather than
the individual schools as before. In
declamation and expression, the num
ber will be cut down from approximat
ely 100 to 18. On the other hand, in
the debating, nine teams will cone
where four have been coming befcre.*
There will also be an increase in the
number trying for stenography, and
typewriting.

The University Extension Depart

details. At the present time, Professor
Orin F. Crow is acting head of the de

is president of the Association, and J.
D. Fulp of Columbia, is secretary.

Mr. MacFarren is a rather large

During World War-Was
on Allied Conference
General T. Howard Bliss, one of the
three ranking generals during the
World War, will arrive on the cam
pus March 11, and will stay over thri
the next day. General Bliss comes to
speak on international relations clubs
in universities. Dr. Clarke, Dr. Ball,
and Dr. Snowden will have charge of
the arrangements, and it is probable
that the general will speak to the stu
(lent body at chapel period, March 12.
These international clubs are being
formed to promote an interest in
world affairs, and no one is probably
more capable of bringing such news
than General Bliss. He was a member
of the Allied Conference and the
American Commission to negotiate
peace.
Lewisberg Pennsylvania is the birth
place of General Bliss, and after finish
ing the public school, he attended the
University of Lewisburg, now Buck
nell. He graduated from the United
States Militery Academy and the Unit
ed States Artillery School. Later he
was conferred the LI.. D. by Bucknell.
He served as an attache to Madrid
and was in the Porto Rico campaign
and the Mexican rebellion. In Septem
ber, 1917, he was made chief of staff
with full rank, but in December was
automatically retired from service by
law.

The sis who have left the sick list

S ORGANIZE
TION TO MAKE
E COMPETITION
Invitations Issued Several Weeks
Ago Responded to by Four
Colleges
PLANS STATE CONTEST
University to Be Host to First
Contest-Coker College Girl
Elected President
The co-ed glee club of the Univer
sity of South Carolina has taken the
iniative in forming an organization
which has been long needed among the
women's colleges of the state, an as
sociation of Women's Glee Clubs of
South Carolina. Several weeks ago
they sent out an invitation to all the
women's glee clubs in the state to join
in an organization among the girls
similar to the boys association which
has been functioning for several years.
Nearly every college in the state an
swered the approved plan either by
letter or telegram, if they could not
send representatives to the first meet
ing.
At the first meeting held Thursday
afternoon in Mr. Matteson's studios, at
which he presided, there were present
delegates from Lander college, Coker,
Columbia and Carolina.
Mr. Matteson stated that the pur
pose of the organization is to develop
student leadership and to foster among
the colleges of the state a common
bond in music as we already have in
athletics and other college activities.
The glee clubs need such an organi
zation to bring then in closer touch
with each other and every member
will surely receive some definite good.
Not More Than 30
Each club entering into the associa
tion shall consist of not more than
thirty members, and not less than
twenty, one of whom shall be leader.
A director of music or coach must ac
company each group. Those eligible to
the glee club are all undergraduate
students or special students. Each club
shall sing three numbers; one of the
club's own choice which must be se
lected and presented to the board Qf
directors before December 1st of each
year. ;This is to be a standard classic,
The next shall be the prize song se
lected by a committee, selected by the
board of directors, two members com
ing from each college in the associa
tion. Then each club shall sing a col
lege song, either the alma mater or
some "peppy" college song.
The executive committee of the col
lege holding the competition shall have
the power to select three judges from
out of the state, but they must be ap
p)rovedl by all the competitors. In
judging the contest the judges shall
give to the choice song thirty points,
to the p)rize song fifty points, and
twenty to the college song. The mer
its to be considered are: ensemble, in
terp)retation, tone, diction and pitch.
Scores Separate:
Each judge making a separate score,
and giving only the prize and honor
db)le mention to one. Every club is to
receive its individual score immediate
ly after the performance. On the even
ing before the concert the governing
boardl shall meet and draw lots for the
ordled of appearance. A deposit of five
dollars membership fee is to be made
by all clubs to carry on the business
of the association.
It is not yet (decided whether it will
be possible to have a meeting this
spring because there is such a short
