NEW FIELD DEDICATED WITH QUIET CEREMONY (Continued from page one) t which the fall dress. of the women gay- a note of color, ipc:tme very quiet as the governor spoke. "As chairman of the board of trus tees of th;. University or South Caro lina, ;t is my pleasure to welcome this la.g. anc ence, not only to this con test of strength and skill which is about to begin, but also to the formal open ing of this splendid athletic field," Governor McLeod said. "I believe in many sports ; in the dev.:lopment of the physical man and :te culture of that spirit of true shopts manship which finds a i'la'e not only in college life, but in the game of life itself. "Having clearly in mind the motives which actuated the late president of the University; remembering with ad miration his manliness; his patriotism; his love of his native state with his abiding affection for Carolina, I pre sent to the University and to the peo ple of South Carolina Melton Field." At the conclusion of Governor Mc Leod's speech, Miss Henrietta Melton, sponsor of the field and youngest daughter of the, late Dr. Melton, and Dean L. T. Baker, as acting president of the Uilversity, raised two standard, to the tops of rest, ctive flag.staff'. Then Miss Melton pulled the ;jrds that slowly let unfurl a broad banner upon which was MELTON FIELD in garnet and black. The band started playing tht "Aina Mater" and the entire assemblage joi ed in singing "We Hail Thee, Caro lina." The strains of music swept across the field, urged on by thousands of voices singing more than a mere school song; it was a song that stood for many things. The Carolina stands followed the song with cheers; the team ran onto the gridiron and Caro lina's new "Melton Field" was dedi cated. It was one of the drean' :i Doctor Melton to see the University properly and aucquately equi,)ped w" .it ath letic field. He wor'-cd tow.tr- t*la e".d tirelessly-and Saturday, had he been present, he would have seen ni:. d1rea.n realized. One s'gnificant fact having to d with the naming of the field, in honor of the late Doctor Melton is especially worthy of mention. The petition to the board of trustees that the field bear the name of Melton emanated not from the board, nor from the faculty (though both of these organizations favored such action) but from the stu dent body itself and especially from those interested in sports. Doctor Melton never missed a foot ball game and rarely was absent from other University athletic contests. It was the n'ght after the Clemson-Caro lina game of 1925, which Doctor Mel ton attended, that there dleveloped the malady which p)roved fatal It was on the field, dluring practice and after games, that he dIrew peculiar ly ne ar many of the student.- he talk e'd ta them with that freedom and la.ck of formality almo,.t inmouscible' o1 attainment elsewhere. ife was a great lover of sports--clean sports helda a high place in his ;egr l--but-: studlents knew without :,ny .. .rt of dloubt that it was the b)oys engaging in the sport that Doctor Melton was con cerned about. With h'mi it was not "The game's the thing," but "The hoy in the game is the thing." His fatherly attitude, his unfailing store of optisism when things had gone awry on the field his enthusiasm and his genuine dlevotion t'o clean sports was dleeply appreciated by the students and the petition presented to the board as to (he naming of the field was but a token of this appreciation. It is planned to erect a memorial arch, probably between the two ticket offices at the grotunds to Doctor Mel ton, on which will be inscribedl thed name of thie field. As the Clariosophic Literary society erected, exactly one hundred years ago, a monument on the campus in memory of the first president of this state in stitution, Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, thec school now plans to erect a maemorl gateway to Dr. Melton at the entrance~ to the fieldl which heare his name.
