Not in Hof Water
"We want hot water:" "Give us hot water," are two
yells which have become prevalent on' the campus lately
and may well be added to the varsity cheers. 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.

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 ?

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.
What great university -wouldn't b)e p)roudl of posess
ing tihe oldlest separate lib)rary building ill America such
as we have, conltaining works of historic and tradlitionlal
value, and maliny othler antiqlu'ties of inestimable worth
whlichi can only he 'omp)laredl to the ant:quity anld ob
soleteness of the system b)y whlich it ftunctions. Truly,
these heritages should be -treasured and preserved intact
and( in dletail--not so munch tIle b)ooks and cultural re
mains of bygone ages whlichl call be found .at any cross
road(s inl tile neighborhoodl as the system andl the'service
whlichl 's always to be had at a moments notice, and
which still continues to perform its work effectively and
efficiently, regardless of its having passed its nme<l eval
g,lory and splendlor.
Thlen too, being intensely patriotic, one dare no' let
an op)portunity pass for tak'ng note of the stillnless atnd
solemnlhity which prevails1 on.. all pecagionsram, atmlos.
