WILL -BE HERE UNTIL FURMAN IS VANQUISHED Two Sophomores Take Solemn Oath Between Themselves to Stick by Alma Mater CANT BE LONG NOW Many Refuse to Join in Pact Wishing to Graduate Per Schedule "Fellows," it was- Bert Karick, -of Summerville, president of the sophomore class speaking,' -"I back any of you down to stay at Carolina until we beat Furman." The grotM of boys in room four tene ment 22 stopped their idle talk and look ed in astonishment at this sophomore who has seen the Gamecock team go down before the Hurricane for the last two years. No one spoke, scarcely any one moved. Then, before the group re alized what was happening, Gerald Preacher, of Ridgeland, an engineering student thrust out his hand, "I'll take you on that Bert," he said quietly with determination in his voice, "and I don't mean maybe. I'll stay here until a Car olina team frocks the Furman team and makes that Hurricane a gentle little breeze." The tension in the air snapped. Every one was talking at once. Suppose a member of the graduating class of / l*st year had made that strange pact- five years ago he would still be meeting classes. Sdippose Carolina did not beat Furman for the next ten years, stranger things than that have happened. A thousand questions were askted the boys' who had made the resolve. "We don't care," they said in ""ison, "we'll be here vheh the'next 'Gamecock team beats a Furman team and we don't think it will be so loNg. The boys and Coach Lightsey have had poor luck this year. So many injuries and all. Just wait, we'll beat 'em next year." . The boys in the room wandered out. A solemn oath had been taken and they had witnessed it.

Doctor Parkinson spoke on the func tion of the liberal arts college, setting forth what. it must do to continiue to. receive the confidence and support of the American people. "No institution in our whole social system has received such impressive votes of confidence with the passirig of time as the higher institutions of learning." "As to the Presbyterian college of South Carolina," he said, it is a liberal arts college and therefor an institution confronted with-all tie probilerfs of con flicting educational philosophy and prac tice that puzzle other liberal *rts col leges. In addition to bieing an education al institution, the Presbyterian college of South Carolina is a church institution. This means that all of its activities, aims, pm'noses..and plans must be considered from the viewpoint of the church which supports- It; that its whole program of service must be made to conform not only to ,the genergIy accpted secular staridards butt to the liikh standards of Chris,tianity as well.". .
