Professor Aycock Was Member of Honorary Frater nity LAW PROF. WAS POPULAR Was a Native South Carolinian Aid Also a Carolina Alumnus At a meeting of the Blue Key frater nity held last Monday night, the follow ing resolutions were drawn up concern ing the death of the late William Thom as Aycock. former dean of the Univer sity Law School and honorary member of Blue Key fraternity: "William Thomas Aycock, the victim of an automobile accident last August, was a member of our fraternity, a schol ar, and a gentleman who was the em bodiment of 'high thought seated in :a heart of courtesy' and who represented the highest ideals for which Blue Key stands. "Born in Rockingham, N.C., February 1868, of a family distinguished in the political annals of our Sister State; the the son of a South Carolina mother, he was brought when a boy to Sumter coun ty, and thence came to South Carolina College. "The broad acres and wonderful cot tonfields of the Aycocks' at Wedgefield, were the wonder of the countryside and excited the admiration even of strangers passing on train,, and all his !ife Wil liam Aycock was more or less of an agriculturist, altho devoted to that jeal ous' mistress known as the Law. "To distinguish him from his brother, who was of lighter physique, he was known to his intimates on the campus as "Large" Aycock and, as happens not in freqrently, the soubriquet stuck to him all his after life; and surely, it was well applied in his case, for to the end of his useful career he was 'large' in his sympathies with his fellow man, in his grasp of social and political condi tions, in his knowledge of the law. "Therefore: B3e it resolved, that the Order of Blue Key, in common with his colleagues on the University faculty, his brethern at the Bar, the city and State he loved and served, deplores the death of William T. Aycock, struck down in his golden prime, in the full vigor of his intellectual manhood. "Resolved that the members of this fraternity tender to his aged father, widow and children, their deepest sym pathies, and )ereby dedicate a page of our records to his name and memory."

Music Department To Form Orchestra Meeting to be Held Monday Night to Settle Rehearsal Hour Due to a feeling that there is much good material on the campus, which, if organized, would work well together as a symphony orchestra, the Department of Music has undertaken this organiza tion. A meeting will be held in the Univer sity chapel next Monday night, October 22, at 7 o'clock and plans will be made for a definite rehearsal hour. Miss Free man, violin teacher in the Department of Mtsic, will be present to enroll the members and assign places in the orches tra. Anyone who can play and does not possess an instrument may rent one for a nominal sum through the department. Players of the violin, viola, 'cello, dou-. ble bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet or trombone are eligible. A good drumnimer is also needed. The work of the orchestra will be so organized as not to interfere with that of the band in any way. It is hoped that a large number will avail themselves of this opportrnity. ALUMNI ASSOC.

Both of these were declared illegal and the fans slowly resumed their seats amid groans and curses.
