"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. "Shucks." said one as

American institutions the laughing stock
of the world," Doctor Payne declared.
"The development of physical strength
has been made a substitute for the de

and advised a "housecleaning within."

Doctor Parkinson spoke on the func

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

J. F. Cooper, the speaker of the eve
HVing, had as his subject "The Modernist
Movement in Art." He traced the de
velopment of French art from the 19th
century to the beginning of the Modern
ist movement in Cezanne, with brief
characterizations of the schools of neo

Cooper showed several black and white
