Culbertson preceded the FEATURE Carolina's Progress Notable Since 1900 Comparison of Annuals for 1900 And 1927 Shows Striking Development Fair idea of the growth of Carolinia since 1900 is obtained by comparisgn of the Garnet and Black of that year and that of 1927. The difference is especially striking in the development of athletics, rise of clubs and erection and remodeling of buildings. Twenty-eight years ago there were 12 faculty members. Last year there were 67. In 1900 South Carolina Col lege had only three schools-the aca demic school, law school and graduate school. Now there are the academic school, school of commerce, school of education, school of engineering, school of journalism, school of law, school of pharmacy and the graduate school. In 1900 there were 21 seniors, 26 juniors, 33 sophomores and 98 fresh inenmen in the academic school; 12 seniors and 15 juniors in the law school; and seven graduate students, Natural Songsters Return to Campus Ornithologists See Their Idols in Bright Colors Once More Not the birds of Killingsworth, to be sure, but our very own Southern varie ty of birds is with us again. From the majestic oaks which line our his toric campus, our plumed fellows send forth happy songs vibrant with the joyousness of merely being. Soon af ter the winter frosts and with the first peep of early spring, the enormous in flux makes the campus seen the mecca of the songsters. From the assured and intelligent manner of some, we know they are the old-timers-those who liked us well enough to return ; others, lacking the self-confidence and knowledge of their relatives reveal by their temerity a recent advent into the world. And.they are all here-starlings in abundance, the familiar sparrow, the cheerful ce dtr wax-wing, the minature kinglet, occasionally an erudite owl, the melo dious lark, the modest hermit thrush -in fact, all the choicest idols of the ornithologist or nature lover. Their bright garb betrays a love of fashion as well as a love of music, for we see the most brilliant reds, the loveliest hues of blue, an enticing bit of yellow, a (lignified black, a modest brown-but herein lies a secret: those who knowv say the most b)rilliant plum age belongs not to the female of the species. butt to the male. These gay minstrels who come back to find their homes . destroyed and weather-beaten are mlodels of endlur ance anid perseverance for a dlisillu sionedl world. ~With stout hearts and very wise eyes, they smile benignly on humanity,. and with constant chirping and twittering begin courageously to rebuild what they spent half a life tmue building. 'With every Carolina sun these wvimged nmusicia ns begin anew to enrich the life of sonme Carolina son by their joyous caroling that today .spring is com1ing-tomorrowv-it :s here!,, Barron Bridges and Roy Lister, up 1-olding the affirmat ive dlefeated H.
