Kindergarten At Karolina
Carolina students are a bit unbecomi in their conduct
during chapel exercises every morning. It appears that
there is little or no respect for the hour-- And it seems
that students forget the purpose of the meeting.
The other day a distingished visitor caie to the Uni
versity chapel exercises, and the attitude of the students
gave cause for alarm. During the reading of the Scripture,
the Chaplain was interrupted several times by the loud jab
bering and noise in the lobby of the chapel. The professors

sity. Many medals are given for the encouragement of
public speaking on the campus ; and the literary society
is an opportunity that no student should neglect. Then,
there are the literary society publications, The Game
cock and The Carolinian, affording practical experience
in general writing and newspaper work. So. college life
has something else to afford outside the door of the
classroom work, and the student who gets the most out
of his college career is the student who takes part it
some phase of student activities. The student's activ
ities fee is one of the best investments made in college,
when a student realizes its proper purpose and meaning.
U.S.C.
Dam Site Affords Educational
Opportunity
No student should graduate from the University without
having seen the mammoth earthen dam that it being oon
structed near Irmo, ten miles from Columbia on the Saluda
river. This dam affords an educational opportunity that
should not be neglected by any student that can visit the
scene. The dam is goirlrg to be the largest dam of its ki:id
in the world, and, is attracting world-wide interest. Peo
ple are coming from distant sections of the country to see
it, and yet people ten miles away ignore the magnificent
sight.
Engineering students at the University have already
visited the site as a part of the study in their course..But,
orators, lawyers, doctors and preachers can be benefited
by it just as much as the engineer. More can be learned
there in an hour than can be learned in a dozen books on
the subject. It is knowledge that everybody needs, especial
ly if to be acquired at our own door step.
The Gamecock urges students to take advantage of this
golden opportqnity and visit the dam before they graduate
and leave. An education from the University of South
Carolina is not complete without it.
U.S.C.
Historical Curiosities
The University library is undoubtedly the most inter
esting place on the campus. It is the oldest separate
library building in the United States. In addition to
its avenues and alcoves of books, it,is fast becoming a
museum of interest and of vast historical information.
It contains articles and collections that cannot be found
elsewhere in the world.
Perhaps the most interesting piece of furniture, in
the special fireproof museum room, is an old Chippendale
chair that was found in the basement of the. State
House, and presented to the University by William C.
Preston. In his letter of presentation, Mr. Preston said
that the chair was probably used by the colonial gov
ernors of South Carolina. Tle. museum also contains
a colonial spinet, made in the days of lartha Washing
ton, and the kind that Martha played.
The walls are covered with valuable portraits. Paint
ings of Madison and Jefferson, probably painted by the
p early famous American artist, Gilbert Stuart, are valued
at $100,000. Various busts from Dante to Pickens fre
quent the corridor space.
In the row of museum cases may be. found a beaver
hat that wvas worn by Francis W. Pickens, war governor
of South Carolina. There may also be found pictures
of the ruins of Colunibia after Sherman's march. In
this collection is a p)ictture of the ruiins of Washingtoa
Street Methodist Church, Ebenezer Lutheran, Presby
terian Lecture Room, the Catholic convent, the bridge
over the Congaree river, and many others.
Professor Snowden has done much for the department
in collecting historic relics. An ink-stand used by Fran
cis Lieber during 1835-56 is loaned by Professor Snow
dIemn. A piece of wood from the floating batteries near
Charleston is a petrified relic of interest. Professor
Keith has made a loan of French coins, one bearit.k the
insceprition of Napoleon Emipereur.
Personal letters by war governors, original docu..
ments, shrapnel shells, Eturopean horse casts; an his
toric cane made from the first flag staff on the walls
of Mexico, mounted with the metal of guns captured
when New Mexico was taken; a spear, assegai, utsed by
Zulus of a South African tribe in killing off the tribes;
Eliot's Indian Bible, written in 1865, the only Bible in
the language of the American Itndian; and a painting cf
the University of Sotith Carolina campus in 1820O are a
few of the outstanding things the muse.um contains.
The Gamecock would like to see. the museum grow.
It is in a.fire-proof building and a good place to present
a valuable loan to the University, where It can be of
educational advantage to the s.tyudents. Already, the
musel.im' is a wonderful source, of historical food for
