From the foothills a of the mountains it is swirling, steadily o forward, gaining in momentum as it t, comes closer. We can discern its pur- i; ple tinges, and we know that it is the s, mighty Hurricane of Furman Univer- h sity. Tomorrow the "high wind" will it blow with all the fury of its being in an b effort to sweep a crimson-crested a Gamecock off the field of battle. The Hurricane is lacking its great pilot, Rawl, sterling quarterback, is un able to play on account of injuries. Carolina men can sympathize with Furman in this respect, for it was at this time last season that the Gamecock eleven was deprived of three of its best men.

Dr. Morse m ade a decided impression upon the ci, ew men and women :n presenting a H ew phase of the honor system. R. He pointed out that a man was not ha )n his honor" just during an examina- Ct on or test, but that the honor system so continually at work and that it M ould be carried out at all times. H "The honor system." he declared, "is :t to be looked upon as nothing more tan an old tradition of an old school, S hat may be dispensed with when the :casion seems necessary." He ex a'ned that many people regarded the :>nor system as a very nice tradition tat was started years ago ty people 10 w dead. That it was a beautiful tra tion, but that it had no place in the 10 odern school when passing or not issing were the questions at issue. 10 his, he asserted, was the wrong at- 11 tude to take in ths matter. 11 He declared that it was much better fail in a subject and fail honorably I'l ian it was to pass and to pass dis :morably. 12 "Even if you fail in one or more abjects," he said in conclusion,"if you 12 in go home and say to your father, )ad, I failed in some of my academic ubjects, but I passed in the greatest 1? st of all-the charter test," then. >u will have that feeling of supreme -12 itisfaction that only the honorable ' in ever experience. 12 --BEAT FURMAN-:1 live New iMembers for Hermes Group r Five new members wvere initiated in the Hermes club Monday.

PRESIDENT OF FENCING CLUB TELLS OF RISE Inauguration of New Officers Is the Occasion for Remarks HAS RAPID DEVELOPMENT Finkelstein Follows Rease as President-17 Men in Tour nament Last Year The Fencing club inaugurated its new officers at its regular meetitg Monday night. William Rease was succeeded as president, by David Fin kelstein. In his exaugual address Mr. Rease traced the growth and development of the Fencing club. Fencing was introduced at the Uni versity only a year ago. It started with two boys taking the foils instead of the regular gymnasium exercise. Soon, however, recruits were added to the original pair, and fencing was rec ognized and placed on the program of the annual gym carnival. It was first introduced to the campus when the Euphradian society put a fencing match on its reception program the day after Thanksgiving. Following this event Mr. Van Metre was induced to order equipement and raise fencing to the rank of a regular gymnasium course. After Christmas new interest was shown in the art and the Fencing club was organized. The purpose of the club was to promote fencing on the campus and in other schools. After securing a charter the club sent a team against the Swamp Fox Fencing club, of Marion, which had been organized two years before. The Carolina club made its first triumph by defeating this club 5 to 4. Soon after this Daniel Reed, wishing sonic sword play for "Romeo and Juli et." called upon the Fenc'ng club. Thus was the club advertised to Columbia. Seventeen fencers, twelve of them club members, went in the final tour nament. Six men, all members em erged for the semi-finals. In the finals, R. B. Hildebrand took the novice championship, A. W. Holler, third place; David Finkelstein, second; and W. R. Rease, first. Professor Rene Stephan is acting as fencing coach th's year. Professor Stephan has had some experience in the art in France and is well able to train a good team. During fair week, Rease and Finkel stein, went to North Carolina and or ganized clubs at the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest and at Davidson. Fur man University already has a club. A committee will go to Georgia and Tennessee next week, to try to organ ize clubs in those states. A Southern Fencing League is planned with the co operat'on of these new clubs. Tihe Carolina Fencing club plans a tournament for Thanksgiving, and ai match is expected wvith North Carolina about December 15. - B3r.-r J-URANx - D)iscussion Material Will Be Sent Out Four bulletins, each describing in de tail one phase of the work of the Bu reau: of Publ'c Discussion, have recent ly come from press.
