C., FRI DAY, SEPT. 30, 1927 NO.2 FOOTBi University Has Formal Start Last Friday Dr. Douglas, Miss Johnston and Dean Baker Welcome Old and New Students STRESS RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS "Ask Yourself Why You /Are Here," Says Dr. Dougl4s in Address The formal opening of the University for the term of 1927-28 was held in chapel last Friday. The building was filled nearl'y to its capacity. The ma. jority attending were new men, this bein1 the day for freshman attendance. Several members of the faculty were present, the speakers being Dr. D. M. Douglas, president of the University, and Dean Baker. A short address was given by Miss Johnston of the campus Y.W.C.A. After the opening doxology Dr. Douglas cordially welcomed the ntw and old students to tl University. At the beginning he mad it clear that the school would not be used as a win ter resort. "I hope you have a pleas ant and profitable year. But only a self-examination will permit this," he said, "each of you thoroughly examine yourselves. Ask yourselves why you are here, and begin the year right. Some' of you have probably come iti tending to have a good time. It can be had only if your conscience is clear: No self-respecting person can enjoy himself in the face of self-con demnation." The president stressed particularv the first four years in college as the most important period of one's life. "There are two ways of training one's self," se said, "intellectual prepara tion and physical preparation. The intellectual training is needed to meet confronting questions; the physical to keep your intellect open and+to make it easy to learn. These four years are the formative period; preparation is necessary. Do not forget your spiritual and moral life either. Spiritual and moral values are far greater than in tellectual ones. At this institution we stand for religion as well as your home. It is our duty to continue your home training." He stressed religious affairs as an important asset to a successful training. Dr. Douglas said that the purpose of our education is not a selfish motive, but for service. "This institution is sponsored by the state and our educa tion should be for service. If your idea of education is merely self-inter est you are wrong. The state attempts to build and train leaders with the money that it invests in this institu tion.

"Pap" Early, Carolina alumnus, has returned to our campus after many years of varied experience along many lines, as full time alumni secretary. The Carolina Alumni have not had a full time secretary for many years, but at a meeting last June in Columbia, they decided to adopt- plans for a more aggressive association, and due to the fact that Mr. Early has had so much experience along these lines, and also due to his ability, he was un animously elected to lead this growing association. Life's History Barney A. Early was born at Early's Cross Roards in Darlington County in 1886. He spent most of his boy-hood days in Florence County where his family had moved. He entered the University of South Carolina in 1902, where he took a prominent part in all college athletics, football being 'his major sport. After finishing college he returned to Florence where he was engaged in the lumber business for a period of eight years. While in the Pee Dee section he was successfully engaged in many businesses ranging from the cot ton trade to the brick business. Also while in Florence he coached all High School athletics from 1914 to 1920 as a hobby along with his other business and received no pay from the school for his services. He put Florence high school on the athletic map by giving both his time and money freely. Dur ing his stay there he turned out four State championship football teams and one championship baseball team from that school. All his teams were strong contenders for the State pennant. It Was also while at Florence that he established the old Pee Dee Athletic Association, from which plan the pres ent State High School Athletic As sociation has grown. He has done more to put high school athletics on a higher and more wholesome plane than ahy other man in the state.
