Almost any (lay now that the thermometer rises above zero this cry of supplicat'on is heard rising over the campus. Nothing more or less is the matter than that there is no hot water to be had for the important tasks of shav ing and bathing. Compla'nts have been frequent and, though we be lieve that cold showers are good for the health, but have found that it is not good for the removal of good old Columbia dirt, we think that the marshall, or who has charge of such matters should provide hot water at all hours and every (lay, hot or cold. Therefore, we be seech thee, in the name of cleanliness, which is next to Godliness. and in behalf of the sanitation of the world in general. that your hear our plea. - U.S.c. - Name for New Building A new science building has been started on the Uni versity campus offering an opportunity to the students of the sciences to pursue' their course with increased facility and better results. But no name has been decided upon for this new build ing and the Gamecock thinks no name could be more ap propriate for a science building than that of a scientist. The Gameco'k suggests Sims College as the appropriate designation for the University's new science hall. James Marion Sims was born in the Lancasted dis trict, South Carolina, January 25, 1813. He was graduat ed from the University of South Carolina in 1832 and continued the study of medicine in Charleston and in Philadelphia, and received his M. D. degree from Jef ferson college, in Philadelphia, in 1835. From that time until 1853, he resided in Montgomery, Alabama, estab lishing in 1849, a private hospital, specializing in cases of vesico-vaginal fistula, a disease of women, thought, up to that time to be incurable. It would be too long to go into details of- Dr. Sim's remarkable contributions to medical science, especially in the field of gynacology. It will be sufficient to say that he founded in 1857-58, the Woman's Hospital for the State of New York, the first institution for the treat ment of the diseases pecul'ar to Women in New York state. In 1861, he went to Europe to study hospital design and was triumphantly welcomed throughout the contin ent. Many of the leading hospitals, attended by surgeons of world-wide reputation, pressed him to perform opera tions. The governments of France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium conferred decorations upon him as a public benefactor. From France he received the Order of the Knights of the Legion of Honor; from Belgium the Order of I,eopold ; from Germany, the Iron Cross. For his services as organizer of the Anglo-American Ambulance corps in the Franco-Prussian war, he was given one thousand francs to purchase delicacies for the inmates of h's hospital by Marshal McMahon. Dr. Sims published over 80 papers covering numerous angles of surgery. He was the first surgeon to use silver sutures in surgery in place of the old silk thread. How ever, the field of obstetrical surgery owes more to Dr. Sims than any other. Is It not, therefore, appropriate that a building, de voted to science, be named after one so eminent in the greatest of sciences-life itself ? Should not the name of the man, who of all the graduates of this University has contributed most to the sum of human happiness, be kept fresh in memory by a living pulsating, active memorial; a building, in which the facts of life are learned ? - I.s. c. - THE FORUM Library A ntiques It was wvith1 a iceling of p)ridle and exultation that we, loyal sons of our Alma -Mater,-- saw our libraries recorded as the "pride of the University" ini an article appearing in tihe Gamecock last week ;for indeed thley are our p)ridle, otur joy and the source of our h'ghiest inspiration -golhte.
