ULMER PLANS Y. M. PROGRAM OF NEXT TERM PROFS. LEAD CLASSES Problems of This State to Be Discussed at Meetings Second Term A course in Christian Citizenship is planned by the University Y.M.C.A. fot the first six weeks of the spring tern according to an announcement made his morning by T. Ulmer, chairman-ol the committee on Christian education The classes are to be run on much the same program that was carried out ir the Bible classes, with the exceptior that the classes are to be lead by mem bcrs of the University faculty this time instead of by students.

SNYDER SPEAKS TO PHI BETA KAPPA (Continued fron Page One) In speaking of the early initiations of the society he said that the new members were told that they were, 'Men hidden from an outside world and were free from scholastic laws. They could speculate with the freedom of inquiry.' They compared their so ciety to a tree, which they said was "grafted on the stump of virtue, rooted in the soil of friendship and nourished by literature." "They finally dropped all except the literature," sa;d Dr. Snyder, "as the friendships could take care of them selves and the Dean of the school would have to look out for the morals and virtues, but only noe's self can look out for scholarship." The charm of an organization lies in its secrecy he said, pointing out that practically all campus organizat*ons were secret to some degree. "By tak ing the sentimentalism of brotherhood and adding to it secrecy," he added, "you have the nucelus of all our or ganizations and fraternities." He ex plained that Greek letters added a lot to an organization and made is seem more of a secret nature. The alumnus of a college thinks first of the athletic ability of his Alma Ma ter and then secondly of scholarship, lie stated. In a very touching way he told of a fooiball game that he had attended between his Alma Mater and another prominent Southerni team. Dr. Snyder related that his Alma Mater was- defeated by a very large score but even as the last whistle was blowing he could hear the game rooters from his old school calling for a touchdown in that way that makes one thrill to be long to such a group. He said that he understood perfectly the feeling that an alumni has in the matter of athletics but that scholarship should be given more prominence. "Scholarship must forever be the primary object in college life," he said. Everything should be secondary to the spirit of scholarship. Scholarship should be the chief activity and al though all cannot achieve it all should recogn,ze it. "It is the business of the campus to help every man in the way he is to go and to adjust himself for that work in to which he is going. This can be achieved only through the virtues of scholarship and the interested pursuit of knowledge, which should be an ac tivity on every campus.

He paid a tribute to Dr. Douglas and eugol'zed the Late Dr. Melton in the in the closing words of his speech, end in with these remarks: "if Carolina finds its soul to be scholarship it will help Wofford, P. C., Furman and all the other colleges in the state, as they look to Carolina for leadership. There should be unshaken fide'l'-ty in scholarship." Prof. 0. L. Keith, secretary of the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa gave a very short but interesting history of the chapter at Carolina. It was also his duty to show the number of deaths in the local chapter. This he did while the audience stood reverently to pay homage to Ambrose E. Gonzales, El bert Marion Rucker and William Davis Melton. Dr. George Armstrong Wauchope, president of the local chapter, made his annual report and related the happen ings of the national organization at its sesqui-sentennial meeting, where Dr. Wauchope represented the University. Selections by the Men's Glee club added to the program, after which the benediction was pronounced by Dr. Douglas and the meeting came to a close. - U.s.c. First Rat-Do you file your finger nails?
