Univ. Treasurer
Ends Long Life
MANY FLORAL TRIBUTES
George H. Huggins For Many
Years City Postmaster And
Later Treasurer Of Univ.
George H. Huggins, for many years
the beloved treasurer of the University,
died Tuesday evening, December
17th. Mr. Huggins was 69 years old
and his life was one of great service
to Columbia and to the University.
He was city postmaster for a number
of years, taking up his duties as
treasurer shortly after the conclusion
of the World War.
The funeral was held at the Trinity
Episcopal Church Wednesday. A
large crowd was present at the services
and the floral tributes were extremely
beautiful, the wreath from the
University faculty and students being
particularly outstanding.
Dr. D. M. Douglas paid high tribute
to Mr. Huggins when he said: "In
the first place lie loved the University
and was an outstanding example of
loyalty to it and to those he served.
Everyone he served had perfect confidence
in both his ability and loyalty.
"In the second place, he was an
example of efficiency. Nothing was
small in his sight. Everything had to
be done promptly and exactly right.
When the state auditors examined his
books, I hadn't the slightest fear but
that they would find everything in
perfect condition, which was always
the case.
"In the third place, he was an example
of Christian courtesy. He loved
his church but also loved everybody
else's. He was firm but always polite,
always ready to serve but never willing
to violate a rule. Everybody who
did business with him had perfect
confidence in him, and though their
wishes might not always be granted
his courteous manner always forestalled
resentfulness.
"Ever since I have been president
of the University I have leaned very
heavily 011 him for advice and guidance
in handling the finances of the
University and will solely miss his
wise counsel. He was honored and
loved by every member of the faculty
and student body, and we feel that
more than a mere treasurer has been
taken from the University.
"For the last six years, he had been
training his successor, Frank F. Welbourne,
who has been appointed to
take his place, subject to confirmation
by the board of trustees."
CHEERIOS TO END
SEASON IN HIGH
MANY LETTERS RECEIVED
, To Cheer Boxers And Basketeers
In Special Section Of Field
House
According to a recent announcement
by Nigel League, head cheer
leader, the plan of organized cheering
during the football season will be
continued during the boxing and
basketball seasons. A new feature
will probably be added in that arrangements
are under way to have the band
take a regular part in the activities.
v A section of the field house will be
marked off and designated for the
"Cheerios" and all loyal Carolinians
are asked to sit in this section.
The formation of an organized
cheering section, under the name of
the Cheerio, originated during the past
football season, under the supervision
of Mr. League. Much good has been
accomplished in the effort to give
I University teams the backing that
they deserve. Many letters of favorable
comment have been received from
all sections of the state, and several
alumni have expressed the hope that
the system will be improved further.
Mr. League, when interviewed by
a Gamecock reporter, said: "Presentation
of Cheerio emblems have been
deferred until after the conclusion of
the basketball and boxing seasons and
can still be won by loyal Cheerios at
these games. We do not propose to
let up in our efforts to give the Gamecocks
the best support of any college
teams in the state. We are not at
all discouraged in the degree of cooperation
received in the past and
have hopes that it will be even improved
in the future."

can come by the Y office and
get his ticket.
The course this year, from reports
of the leaders, has been one of the
most interesting that the Y has conducted.
The subjects were based on
a method of developing character.
Some of the subjects were as follows:
what is Christian character, courtisy
honesty, sportsmanship, unselfishness,
dependability, the source of all character.
The method followed was
to learn to do the things we practice
doing lhe members of the groups
picked out particular situations in
which they thought there was weakness
and then tried to practice doing
the right thing in those situations
realizing that after all the control of
character came through a powerful
love of Christ typifing the love of God
FORMER STUDENT
IS FOUND IN N. (
Severed Connection With Unive:
sity Last October Due To
Bad Health
Miss Marie Wise who disappear*
last Saturday night about 8:30 fro
her home in Aiken has been found
, a tourist camp in Henderson, N. <
Miss Wise, formerly a student at tl
University, severed all connection wi
this institution on October 10 la
due to the necessity of reparing to
sanitarium because of ill health. SI
hitch-hiked this far, and was cor
pletely exhausted. Miss Wise is
Catholic and when this was dete
mined the Rev. O'Mara a priest
Henderson was sent for, and she w
carried to the rectory there und
the care of a nurse.
On the receipt of information di
closing her whereabouts, her brothc
Leo Wise, and the Rev. George Die
of Aiken left for Henderson to escc
her back home.
Miss Wise's family had made va
attempts to locate her all throuf
Saturday night, Sunday, and Sund;
night. Her disappearance was broa
cast over a Charlotte radio static
Sunday night. The news that she hi
been found ended the two-day peri*
of unrest in the Wise home and w
received with great relief on the pa
of her family.
The parties with whom she w
riding remain unknown. They r
ported to the Rev. O'Mara that si
was ill and left her in his care. Mi
Wise is expected to return to Aik
sometime Tuesday if her conditi*
permits.
Marie Wise, a sophomore, myste
ously disappeared from her home
Aiken Saturday night January 5. I
extensive search has been made ai
as yet no trace of her whereabon
has been found.
Miss Wise withdrew from the Ui
versity on October 10, due to
health, and since that time had be
under the care of a physician. Si
spent some time in a sanitarium
Asheville and since her return
Aiken was undergoing treatment ai
was under physicians orders to r
main quiet until spring. The fami
had noticed no change in her con*
tion or attitude toward her confin
mcnt, although she did seem to
annoyed with so much inactivity.
Saturday night around 8:00 o'clo
her mother, Mrs. S. A. Wise, who w
upstairs, heard the front door sla
and upon investigation found that h
daughter had disappeared. Immei
ately a search was made of the si
rounding neighborhood but no tra
could be found. The girl was in
very weakened condition and it
believed that she walked only a she
distance before she was aided
someone in her mysterious get-aw;
Investigators found that she carri
none of her belongings with her c
cept a coat.
A very short while after ner d
appearance was discovered it w
learned that she received a telepho
call at the home of her aunt acrc
the street. It was reported that t
call came from Columbia but later
was found that no call had been ma
for Miss Wise from here.
Police of Aiken are now worki
on the case and authorities in otl
cities have been asked to aid in t
search.
