Monday afternoon. The organization
has suffered a great loss this past
year, in the Professor Ben Hodges has

zations. It will be in the Euphradian
hall at 8:00 p. in. The Euphradian
society will hold their preliminaries on
Friday, February 16 at 8:00 o'clock.
It was decided that a joint society
session would be called for Tuesday,
February 12 in order to pick a chief
marshal and a committee to select
judges for the contest. Other matters
were discussed and among these, the
replacing of the debater's medal which

Roddey of Rock Hill. It was decide

sidering this matter) would be asked
to report at the joint meeting tonight
and then definite action taken looking
toward the replacement of this medal.
It is understood that the medal will ;)C

HISTORY CLUB
HELD MEETINC
DR. HARRIS GIVES PAPER
Honorary History Fraternity
Discussed
The graduate History Club held its
regular meeting last Friday night in
the history room at Davis Clollege. Dr.
Harris, the new president, presided
Under the head of business the club
took up the consideration of the report
of the committee to investigate the poe
sibilities of turning the club into an
honorary history fraternity affiliated
with the national organization. After
the report was read it was decided to
leave the club as it is and to submit
the plan to the history department of
the several colleges in the city. Th'
History club is composed of people in
terested in history in the various schoo!s
of the city and for that reason coulil
not go bodily into a fraternity- It is
suggested that those interested in his
tory in the university that would like
to establish a history fraternity confer
with the history department.
After the above business was con
cluded Dr. Harris, the new member of
the history department, addressed th..
clhb on "Medicine in Colonial America."
The paper was very humorous and de
livered in )r. Harris' entertaining
style. The subject. matter afforded
iany citations of superstition and Ie
licfs that were funny to say the least.
The paper went some length into the
cImposition of various cures of the 17ii
century. It also brought to light th".
extent in which New hngland especiall v
wai bound up in superstition and witch
crait.
Believe this ornot, but the difference
between a flapper and a traffic cop'
when he says stop, he means it.

Little Nothings I
By S. E. B.
Is the present age. an age of safety
and sanity? I say no. Two inc.tents
can be stated that will corroborate my
seemingly broad statement. Just the
other day I read that a man was try
ing to rid himself of the scum of the
earth, in other words he was taking a
bath-don't get excited the cutrains
are up. :As I was going to say, that
futile creature of this earth slipped on
a piece of soap and was drowned,
In anther place a piece of coal filled
with a diabolic hatred for its persecutor
jumped headway out of the furnace,
striking the fireman in the temple.
Con'c on gang, let's join Rousseau and
his crowd and back to ature we will
go. Even though a boa constrictor
should coil in our pathway and pre
tistoric animals lurk in the back ground
dl we need is a stout cudgel. Who is
ifraid of a poor little boa? Never again
will soap hurt us-who wants a bath
.:hlow?
Isn't is funny how a little girl with
aughing blue eyes-they may be brown
r gray-can turn the world upside
:own and make it take a couple of
lips? Of course, you know I am talk
ibout your world. Wlten we are feel
ng down and out and would like to
'kick the bucket" just one smile will
hrow us into estasy. Again. "Alas l
he love of women lIt is known to be
t'lovely and fearful thing." But per
taps it is better said, unsaid. Queen

Miss Wall told the society that she
had heard from three colleges, wish
ing to debate the girls of the Univer

Miss Wall urged that the girla take
more interest in debating so that our

at these schools, but that we send the
very best debaters.
