STUDENTS GATHER HISTORIC PAPERS JOURNALS AND LETTERS Collection Of South Caroliniana Much Valued By History Department In a recent report to the President of the University concerning acquisitions of South Carolina material by the library, special attention is called to the work of several students. John Bolt Culbertson, whose hobby long has been the nosing out and preservation of such papers, has been especially active in this campaign, sending down during the past summer about sixty letters of' the Confederate War years. He has his eye on other material, but is somewhat handicapped in the pursuit by attendance requirements of his classes. W. I. Latham has presented to the library a number of letters or business papers of the Confederate period and a diary of a Furman student of the decade preceding. J. W. Pitts has deposited the account book of John Rogers of Orange Hall, Union District, covering the years 1822-1829. W. B. Lowrance has contributed several pieces, and Miss Mary Neal Baker, one of the graduate students in history, has assisted in locating material. The students of the University have an opportunity to render service to the institution and the state by watching for such papers. Any South Carolina newspapers and letters prior to 1876 are almost certain to be worthwhile contribution.?, in either small or large quantities.

Look at me, I just graduated from high school. For some reason I am not getting noticed as I should. I crack just lots.of good jokes, especially when around girls, 'cause I want them to focus their attention on me. I began saying pretty things about the opposing society before I joined, for ll thought it sounded great. I enjoy saying smart things about my teacher. VVhy, they are not near as good as I had in high school. This is the dumbest Senior Class I ever saw. They don't seem to know what \it's all about. Just wait until I get a Chance to tell them a few things. In high school they all looked up to me and did what I said and I think they ought to here, too. Someone told me I had better keep my mouth shut until I learned a little about college life, but I don't need any advice from anyone, 'cause I'm the Freshest Freshman Gink. ?Orange and Blue.
