interesting data concerning the early 8,
year# of this institution.
In addition to the trustees' minutes, ! b<
there is also contained the original act pi
to establish the college. It' was established
because: "Whereas, the proper v<
education of youth contributes greatly S
1 to the prosperity of Society, and ought I p
always to be an object of Legislative tl
attention, And whereas, the establish- tc
ment of a College in the central part of tl
the state, where all its youth may be in
educated, will highly promote the in- v
struction, the good order, and the S
harmony of. the whole community." I ci
1 The act also empowered the trustees J g
' to draw from the state, treasury the sum
of $50,000 to be used for the erection of
a building suitable for the needs of the
college. The comptroller was author- lc
ized to pay to the trustees $6,000. each t(
year. for the payment of . faculty sal- ^
aries and \ht maintainance of the col
il??- . S ' /
The 'first meeting of the board was
held in Charleston on February 12, |
1802. As/ a quorum was lacking, the
meeting was put off until tbe'following I
Sunday when the first actual session tc
was held. n)
Among the men at this first jmeetirib I ^
were Drayton, Rutledge, Marshall, ^
, Grimke, Bay, Johnston, Tfezevant, L
Charles C. Pinckney, Taylor, De- L,
V saUssure and Wade Hampton.
Governor Drayton was elected preoi- q
1 dent of the board over C. C. Pinckney g
.by a majority of four votes. The onljr. ^
> other business contracted was the ap- Q,
pointment of a committee to fix a suit- j ^
able seal for the new college. . a
Acceding to th*| minutes of the No- I g<
vember meeting of 1803, the president I _
of the collefge was to receive two thou- I
sand five hundred dollar per year; the a
professor of Mathematics and Natural 1 c

. mob to enhance the artistic triumph of s
? the Paision Play, which proved a a
I record-breaker, playing a fpll week to t
nearly capacity houses.^ However, to J''
1 misquote a childhood classic the "at-1 \
r mosphere" was "hooted and slurred t
I and ready to hide" frequently enough J <
-I before the run was over to be grate- i
?I ful for any notice, nice or otherwise. J i
- The Record was a real comfort with I
-1 its refreshing albeit unnecessarily ful-11
t some comment wherein it was diffi- j
f cult to distinguilh the principals from 11
t the local recruits.
-1 The former were all superb in their J?
I roles, altho Christus and Johannes I
- naturally dominated the stage, with 1
d the two Marys giving adequate and 11
sympathetiq support. Below stairs John 11
was the mob mania, getting a grand 11
rush from cburt-ladies and slave-1'
'?I girls alike. I J
! St. Johq in his native Freiberg is a J1
l I medical student of twenty-six sum- I'
. I mers and a corresponding number of I
. winters. He seems to be qUite versa- 1
tile, having taken up the study of art '
during his first year in this country, I
I 1928, before he leaned to understand !
I the people, and when time hung heavy '
J on his artistic hands. Now, however, I1
d he has learned the natives better, and
r- challenges the fact that he knows '
e them better than most i of the extras,
e among whom it is undecided whether
a he concurs in the opinion of- another
:t member of the cast in calling them
"sly Americans," for 'which translation
e I we are indebted to one of our adept I'
fl I German; students whose repertoire I
e ranges from being a populace to ah
n dancer at Herod's court.
Among his other accomplishments
y John grows his own, and indeed his
? flowing locks far from detract from I
his intriguing type of male beauty.
In an address which he made to the
r I students at Wardlaw Junior High he
a I gave an interesting description of J
n Freiberg and the attitude of the par8
ticipants to their parts. He spoke of
b? Mr. Fassnacht's "adorable and lovely"
I portrayal of the- Christ, which part has I
3. been taken by his forebears for eight
f- generations, being handed from father
it to son for nearly two centuries. Und
I fortunately, Mr. Fassnacht has no I
le | sons to succeed him, altho it is prob|e
I able that Saint John, who is his pres- I
d ent understudy, will be the next
11 Christus. But Adolph Fassnacht is I
is still going strong in spite of the fact
that he has been playing the part ever
since a year before John's birth, hav5.
pn8 first taken it at the age of twenty-J
y two.
John regrets that he has only inherited
his present role from his I
_ I father.
m J Mr. Fassnacht and hjs wife, who I
I plays the part of the Virgin Mother, I
I have two daughters, one of whom
I studies voice in New York, although
I Kshe is undergoing a thyroid operation
I in Washington at present. She is the
II original Mary Magdelene of the cast,!
I although this part was expertly taken
| J by her understudy. Another member of
II the cast on the sick list is the Saint
| Peter who played for the first perI
formanccs, but who later left for a
I Baltimore hospital to be treated for
| diabetes.
The donkey, which plays an im- J
| portant part in the "Hosanna" scene,!
| deserves a whole paragraph to him-1
I self for his cellar role at one of the
j matinees when he secured attention
| by a "let us bray" motif ^ith an asllinine
outburst below stairs.
Several parties were given for the
I cast, at which Mr. Dean, who is reI
sponsible for bringing the play to CoI
lurnbia, reports that the hosts very ,
I considerately refrained from offering J
I the players drinks. The director of the r
I Palmetto Players is also the proud
I possessor of as personal letter from
I Mr, Fassnacht accepting the invitation
I to play the City Unlimited. He has
| also secured a promise from the artist
I that he would donate some autoI
graphed pictures to be hung in the
| new auditorium.
.There were many campus lumin|
aries in the production, including ProI
fessor Walsh, Professor Bass and the
I Hon. Robert H, ("Punk") Atkinson.
Joe Faulk's terpsichorean skill was
| denonstrated entr'acte down stair? and
I pre-curtain on the stage. Joe is quite
| adaptable, showing his dramatic
I ability both through the flowing robes
| and thick underbrush of St. Thomas
| and his manly torso through the inI
terstices of his temple guard costume.
I Besides being a rare experience in
1 having such close contact with the
I compelling personality of Adolph FasI
snacht, who is considered the leading
I portrayer 6f Christus in the whole
I Freiberg troupe, which includes in all

wo thousand players, the hundred odd
itudents who participated in the play
ind ranged in characterizations from
ingels to thieves, including priests,
vaffcrgirls, populace, Roman solders,
ilave-girls, temple-guards, dancers
ind ladies yof the mob and court were
reated to a free preview of
'Whoopee" last Saturday night,
vhich was rather a compensation for

EXCHANGES
The University of Mississippi also believes
in clipping the heads of all freshmen.
Last Monday the annual event took
place. The freshmen were herded into
rooms and cries of pain and humiliation
were heard as raven hair, blonde hair,
md red hair mingled on the floor. Every
type of cutlery was used from xtiny manicure
scissors to big shears.
Possibly it wouldn't be a bad idea if
the hjtfr of the freshmen of the University
of South Carolina were clipped every
year. As it is the Carolina freshmen despise
to wear their rat caps. If their
heads were shaved they would only be
too glad to wear them to keep their bald
heads covered from the eyes of the fair
co-eds.
Tests made by students of the University
of Minnesota. co-operation with
radio station KJ>TP have proved that
students carv do their best studying when
listening to jazz music on the radio. Less

distraction was found to prevail when
the loud speakers were vibrating than
when absolute silence reigned in the student's
room.
The University of Iowa launched a
new school of letters this fall, a school
believed to be the first project of its
kind in the history of education in the
United States.
Under the direction of Professor Norman
Foerster, well known for his work
in humanism at the University of North
Carolina, the new school has placed all
the languages in one group, and the organization
for the study of languages and
literature has been outlined much in the
same way treatment is given to subjerSs
in . the schools of religion, journalism,
and similar University departments.
All of the University's language
and literature departments are participating
in the program.
Found guilty of "recruiting and subsidizing"
athletes the University of Kansas
has been eliminated from the Big
Six Conference. James Bausch, halfback,
who received honorable mention on some
of the All-American football teams last
year, was the "subsidized" athlete. Phil
Borello, former Kansas City high school
star, who attended Notre Dame part of
last year, was the "recruited" athlete.
