Alumni
Alumni Trail
The meeting of the alumni of Chesterfield,
Marlboro, Dillon, Florence,
Marion, Horry, and Darlington
counties held last week in Florence
is another step up the ladder of a
majority representative alumni association,
for which Barney A. Early
and George Bell Timmcrman have
struggled so hard.
This meeting was the first of a
series of meetings of the alumni to be
held taking the counties in South Carolina
in groups. It is expected that
the alumni of the University will become
better organized as a result of
these gatherings.
Once the alumni succeed in uniting
in a concerted body, much influence
and strength can be exercised by them.
The Alumni Association could then
back the various activities of the University
in such a manner that material
benefits would result.
It can truly be said that the best
representatives of a university or college
are its graduates. It is upon
them that the judgment of business
and professional men rests concerning
their school of higher education. Think
what even one-half of the alumni,
which would be two thousand men of
experience and ability, could do for
South Carolina.
An adequate stadium would then be
only a question of time. A press bureau
would be an established fact.
Needed improvements would be seen
on the campus. A greater enrollment
would naturally follow a co-operative
and enthusiastic spirit on the part
of the alumni.
'1 he present Alumni Association is
young. Already notable steps have
been taken towards a real body of
graduates that will in all ways represent
the University to its best advantages.
Only one thing at present is
holding the association back and that
is a small membership. It has been
stated before that district meetings
are being held to secure a larger enrollment.
Interest is being stimulated.
Graduates, skeptic at first due
to early failures to form an association,
are gradually being led to the
fold.
One desire of the Alumni Association
is to emphasize a well-rounded
University curriculum and field of activity.
Many alumni are prone to regard
football as the biggest thing at
Carolina, but the emblematic Gamecock
crows in other directions also.
Professional societies, debating
teams, tenement discussion groups
Young Men's Christian Association,
vocational guidance, drama and music,
are also among the feathers of the
rooster. The male species of t lie
poultry family is at his best when he
meets fowl opponent.
"Things happen then," the alumnial
(adjective slaughtered from alumni)
worker of the soil will tell you. "Let
the Alumni Association be the tough
young rooster and watch the feathers
fly."

PROFESSOR RIDES
BOG-US STUDENTS
Picks Up Two Non-College Students
Who Borrowed Rat
Caps To B^m More Easily
Kindness of heart and a desire to 1
aid students of the University proved
the medium for substantial eye-openings
of one of the members of the
faculty last Saturday afternoon who
picked up two lads wearing rat caps.
He carried them nearly to Sumter before
learning that they did not attend
Carolina, but had merely borrowed the
caps to aid in bumming rides.
After having inquired the tastes of
the rats apparent in classes and Having
them express in glowing terms
their love for his own courses the !
professor became even more solicitous
in his inquiries. This soon brought '
out the fact that the symbols of
rathood had been borrowed, which
opened the instructor's eyes to many
facts connected with modern travel.

MRS. BROCKMEN
SPEAKS ON CHINA
TELLS OP Y WORK ABROAD
"To help make men of character is
the aim of the Chinese officials in the
Chinese Y. \1. C. A.," declared Mrs.
1' letcher Brockman to the University
Y. M. C. A. in chapel Sunday night.
"Many Chinese Y. M. C. A. secretaries
have refused important government
and business positions so that
they might remain in the Y service.
In this position they believe that they
can be of more service than in any
other. To them only one thing matters?to
develop men of strong character
for China."
"Since its humble beginning about
thirty years ago, the Chinese Y. M.
C. A. has undergone severe hardships
but by the grace of God it has survived.
Now some of the most prominent
men in China were either formerly
or are now in Y service."
"When we first arrived in China
thirty-two years ago, there was no
Y. M. C. A. The controlling power
was a group of men, the socalled
literati or scholars, who were not
familiar with anything less than two
thousand years ago.
"The Manchu dynasty who sponsored
this group was overthrown in
1U00 and the literati group lost their
power. Modern methods of education
were sponsored by the new government.
This change in government resulted
in the organization of the Y.
M. C. A. in China."
Mrs. Brockman said that China
needs more Y. M. C. A. men sent out
from America. Instead many of the
Y men are withdrawn each year be:ause
of lack of funds to keep them
in China.
1 his talk opened a series of lectures
mi foreign activities to be delivered
in the University chapel each week,
according to R. G. Bell, Y. M. C. A.
secretary of the University. Every
1 uesday night Bible discussion groups
will meet in every other tenement to
make a study of the Y. M. C. A. work
in China. These discussions are expected
to supply collateral interest in
the Sunday lectures.
