University of South Carolina Libraries
Perhaps one of the most attractive and enjoyable features of the Teach er's Meeting, held in Columbia, March 21, 22 and 23, was the delightful din ner which was given for the Uni versity of South Carolina Alumni and Alumnae in the Woman's College dining hall Friday evening. The dining table was most artistic ally decorated, the Garnet and Black color scheme being carried out. .T. J. Jolly, President of the orgahization, introduced the following speakers of the occasion: Dr. D. M. Douglas, President of the University, who spoke on the growth of the University, but stressed "scholarship" rather than "growth." Dr. Douglas stated that an unworthy student was usually a derelict, and needed weeding out before they be came an obligation to the State. Preceding the President, B. A. Early, Secretary of the Alumni As sociation, was introduced. Mr. Early stressed the work of the Association, and added that no drive was being made for money, but that the efforts of the Association were, at the present time, directed to membership, as, only through number could the Associa tion be a vital factor and important force of the University and State. He concluded with a hearty welcome from the Association to the teachers. The next speaker, John J. Mc Swain of Greenville, stressed the ne cessity of an educational building, and concluded with much praise to Doctors Morse and Wardlaw as pro fessors of the University. Following Mr. McSwain, the poet laureate of South Carolina, Marion Boyd Camack, superintendent of the Ware Shoals schools, delighted the gathering with recitals of his poems. Mr. Camack is very worthy of being called, "The John Whitcomb Reiley" of South Carolina. The neact speaker of the occasion was James Henry Sullivan, of Lau rens, one of the University trustees. He too stressed the need of an educa tional building, and concluded with favoring outside contributions toward this movement. PROMINENT MEN VISIT CAROLINA DOUGLAS HOLDS INSPECTION Members Of General Educational Board Of New York Inspect Carolina During the past week, the Uni versity was inspected by Dr. Trevor Arnett and Jack Davis, both members of the General Educational Board of New York. The visitors were shown buildings and other equipment of the University by Dr. Douglas. The in spection was very thorough and in cluded visits to most of the depart ments and colleges. The Board of ficials would not comment on the reasons for their visit, but it is known that they have been interested in the University for some time and it is thought that they may be considering a substantial gift. Dr. Douglas, according to The State, has been in correspondence with the Board for the past few months, and is entertaining hopes that Carolina may be allotted funds from the foundation. Immediately after their tour of in spection was over, Messrs. Arnette and Davis left the city. They gave no information as to when the results of their survey would be made public, nor whether the school was to receive any money. ---.3.c. SMOKING 'EM OUT? Two small boys, staring in a barber shop window of London, earnestly looked on as the barber went over his customer's hair with a singeing torch. "Blymey, Bill" one of the'm ejacu lated, "he's looking for 'em wid a lighet " t Nm It was a$ this point that Dr. Ward law made a most delightful talk, which was enthusiastically received. After a most delightful meeting, the gathering adjourned, in order that those present could participate in other festivities of the evening. About 100 former students attended this dinner. William A. Barber, of the Class of '89, a former Attorney General of South Carolina, but now one of the most prominent lawyers of New York City, has been most successful in winning a case of wide interest, the Child's Case. An effort was made by certain clients of Mr. Barber's to con trol the present chain of restaurants, in New York City, known as the Child's Restaurants. Darlington will hold a district meet ing of the Alumni of the University of South Carolina there Thursday, April 11 at 8 o'clock at the American Legion building.

Laval-Head Coach of the University and others. There will also be a special musical program. All Alumni interested in attending, please notify Charles E. Sligh, President of the Darlington County Alumni Association. A fine meeting is being planned by Messrs. Early and Sligh. Dr. George Harris Webber, an Alumnus of' the University, was recently named a Fellow in the South Carolina Academy of Science, of which he was a charter member. This is the second honor that has been conferred upon this former Caro lina student this spring. Dr. Webber was recently named as a delegate to the National Education Conference to be held from July 26th to August 3rd, 1929, at Geneva, Switzerland.

EUPHRADIAN HAS GOOD PROGRAM MANY SPEAKERS HEARD Weldon And McDavid Win Inter esting Debate Over Pugh And Atkinson The meeting of April 2nd of the Euphradian Literary Society saw a program that contained speeches on varied subjects. J. J. Brown gave a very interesting declamation, the sub ject of which was "Flanders Field." W. F. Pitts spoke on "Science in the Twentieth Century," and M. T. Yates chose as his subject, "The Artificial Man--A Product of Science." The witticisms, given by M. L. Hicks, were unusually good and were very much enjoyed. The subject for debate of the even ing was: Resolved: "That the United States should lend financial and ma terial aid to the Mexican Government in the present revolt." The affirma tive, represented by Griffith T. Pugh, Jr., and Robert H. Atkinson, lost the judges' decision to the negative, up held by Wilson 0. Weldon and John McDavid. Messrs. Hampton, Crowson, Hall man and Owens were elected mem bers of the society. Booger: "I meta girl last night who had never been necked!I" Foggy: "Gosh, introduce me to her. I'd like to meet a girl like that my self." Booger: "Well, she isn't like that now!" The trouble is that those who drink at the fountain of learning immediately want to begin to spout.
