i
E. R. Mclver Coker, member of the
class of 1926, died at the home of his '
parents, Professor and Mrs. E. C. Coker,
on August 31. Young Coker lacked only
five months to receive his diploma from '
the Medical College, where he was a
prominent student.
Dr. Coker was a student of the University
for four years and had a great
number of friends here. He was a member
of a family which has sent most of 1
its sons here. His father, grandfather,
and great grandfather ^ were all University
men, and were long active in
campus and Columbia life.

A marriage of interest to many
University students was that of Miss
Mayre Wall ,and D. Haye Eargle, '
which took place in Tulsa, Okla., dur- j
ing the first part of the summer. 1
Both Mr. and Mrs. Eargle are South I
Carolinians and both are graduates of 1
Carolina, Mrs. Eargle being a prmni- '
nent member pf the class of 1930/ ind '
Mr. Eargle that of 1926. Mrs. Eargle
is a former associate editor of The ''
Gamecock and a member of Alpha
Kappa Gamma and Zeta Tau Alpha.
The couple are making their home
in Tulsa, where Mr. Eargle is connected
with an oil company.

AUTOGRAPHS GIVEN
FREELY
Three Upperclassmen Make Great
and Unusual Collection
x ___
Just as a preliminary intelligence
test, about 300 freshmen/Were asked to
sign a sheet of paper before going into
the chapel to receive instructions as to <
the details of matriculation. They all '
signed without question, and more
would have signed had there been time, t
It all came about in this wise: three \
upperclassmen, finding the iron benches i
on the campus too small to hold three, I
decided to get three chairs from the 1
chapel. Then one of the master minds
suggested that they get a bridge table 1
to rest their feet on, and the next
logical thought was to place the bridge '
table near the entrance to the chapel '
and collect autographs.
About 300 names were secured, but
it would take up too much space to
go into all the gruesome details. Should
anvone wish to che?k up on the figures,
however, the complete list is to be
found in The Gamecock, waste basket
if the trash man hasn't stolen it. ,
The signatures of many outstanding
personalities in high school circles ap- ;
pear on tjie list, which goes to show
that even the most brilliant freshmen
are slightly belqw normal.
Several uppe^lassmen started to ,
sign, not knowing whether it was a
petition for shorter hours, a protest
a&ainst such cubistic enigmas as semester
fees, or just another station (
to be gone through in the process of
matriculation. O tempora, O mores,
O Hell!

Annual Orientatijjfti Outing Held
At Camp Barstow By
* Y. M. C. A.
The Freshman Orientation Camp, held
at Camp Barstow under the sponsorship J
of the Y. M. C. A., came to an end on
September 15, after four days of a pleas- '
ant and instructive outing. 1
The program, prepared by a committee 1
with Jack Hall as chairman, featured a <
number of talks on different phases, of
college life. Among the upperclassmyi
to speak were Yates Williams, Nigel
l<eagu-:, Wilson Weldon, John White,
and representatives of practically every 1
organization on the campus.
An address of welcome was delivered {
by President Douglas, in which he told
the new men of the benefits to be gained
from college life. Dr. Josiah Morse spoke
on "Why Go to College?"
Professor Bradley, a leader in'the 1
honor movement last year, spoke on "The
Honor System," in which he explained <
it to the new men. R. G. Bell, executive
secretary of the "Y," discussed "Voca- j
tional Guidance." Dr. Isadon: Schayer
made his usual speech to the freshmen
on "Wine, Women and Song."

The power of sti|dents should never j

The school was made possible largely
hrough a gift of $150,000 from the Gen:ral
Education Board, a Rockefeller
Foundation, founded by John D. Rockefeller
in 1902. It represents the accomplishment
of an ambition towards which
Dr. Douglas and other officials have been
working for several years.
During the summer months Dr. Douglas,
Professor Crow, dean of the School
Df Education, and J. Carroll Johnson,
the architect in charge, visited several
cities in Alabama, Georgia and other
states, to inspect schools of a similar
nature. They were delighted to find that

OSCAR KEITH
IN SOUTF
i Prof. O. L. Keith, head of department
of Romance Languages, made an extensive
tour of Europe this summer aj the
head of a sightseeing tour. There were
no persons of local interest with \Dr.
Keith, although he says they were all
very interesting and charming people.
Everything was ideal except the weather.
To use his own words, "Professor Keith
uid his party were continually besieged by
mow, rain and ice during their entire stay
in Europe. Pitiful reports of the drought
at home made us long to return to a dry
climate?but # not too dry," he amended
.juickly.
Dr. Keith and his party sailed from
New. York June 13 on the "Conte de
Biancamanu," of the Lloyd Sabaudo
L,ine, and so dense was the fog that it
took fourteen hours to clear the harbor.
After a ten-day voyage, with a short stop
it Gibraltar, they arrived at Naples: "...
which is, and always will be the land of
dreams?in a few weeks to be transformed
by storms and earthquake* into
a land of nightmares." Rather good
that?dreams and nightmares 1
"Our tour included the classic trip
through Italy with a short excursion
into.France via Nice; then back to Italy
and Switzerland, followed*by excursions
into Apstria and Bavatfa."
In the latter counjry they attended the
Passion Play at Oberammagua, which
lasted eight hoars. Dr. Keith pronounced
it extraordinarily fine and entirely free,
so far as he could ju^ge, of the commercialism
of which it ha* been accused. It
is even more impressive than in 1922,
which is the first time it was held since
the war. Incidentally, the professor

Discussion of Honor Principles
Will Occupy First Four
Meetings
A new departure in the traditional 1(
campus discussion groups will mark the J
beginning of the season for the Y. M. C.
A. on the campus this fall in that the
"Y" co-operating with the Y. W. C. A., c
will turn their first four meetings to the c
Honor Committee and the Faculty for a a
series of discussions on the honor idea t<
at the University. Dr. Josiah Morse in c
conjunction with the other members of
the Faculty Committee 011 the honor a
principle have prepared a series of talks v
and discussions to be used in the various ti
groups. ' t;
The Y. W. C. A. in a meeting last s
spring planned to organize * similar n
groups, meeting at the same time in th^
various sections of the woman's campus d
and sorority houses. The Faculty Com- s
mittee plans to get groups in the frater- e
nities as well. In this manner it is the hope v
of the Faculty Committee to reach every ^
student with a clear discussion of the n
reason behind the honor principle, some n
of its history, and how it works at the j:
present time. The committee feels that a
large part of the trouble'in the past has n
been on account of the fact that in recent
years incoming classes have not been im- Sl
bued with the principle. The Faculty n
Committee is composed of Dr. F. W.
Bradley, chairman; Dr. Morse, Dr. a
Bruce Coleman, Dr. R. K. Foster, and *
R. G. Bell.
The classes will be organized on next
Tuesday night, September 30, and will r
hold the first regular meeting on October 11
7. The classes will follow the usual plan
of competition, with a feed for the win- a
ning class and all members who have attended
all meetings of the group. k

has established a record by portraying
the role of Christus three times. Anton
is now too old to play the part, which is
now being taken by his cousin Alois who,
however, according to Professor Keith,
is not as fine as Anton, who is now leading
the chorus. When asked if he thought
that Alois might not improve by the
next performance, the French instructor
smiled and retorted, "But that will be
ten years." He changed this later by
remarking that they were discussinggiving
it again in 1934, which will be the
tri-centennial of its inauguration.
"One of the most interesting experiences
of my whole summer happened at
Anton Lang's. We could not get in for '
supper one night and were waiting outside
until the door would be opened,
when we saw Anton come out of the
dining room followed by Ramsay Macdonald
and his daughter. This was the
first tirmS since the war that a British
premier has set foot on German soil,
and this visit was of course unofficial."
From the scene of the play, the professor
and his party visited most of Germany,
including the leading cities and a
trip up the Rhine to Fast Baden and
on to France. Arrived in Paris, it was
discovered that a leader was needed for
a group whose former guide had left.
So Professor Keith went to Interlaken,
Switzerland, to collect them, and in this
way made a rather extensive tour of
Western Europe. In fact,.he was so
busy traveling he had no time to study,
he declared, as he nonchalantly lit a fag
