SOCIETY SWEARS
IN NEW PRESIDENT
UNUSUAL ADDRESS HEARD
John Bolt Culbertson Departs
From Ordinary In
Inaugural Speech
With a program featured by the inauguration
of new officers for the coming
term the Clariosophic Literary Society
held its regular meeting last Tuesday
night. J. J. Mack is the retiring
president and John Bolt Culbertson succeeds
him in this most important office.
In his exaugural address, Mack briefly
reviewed the progress of the society
during the last term, and expressed a
deep appreciation to the members for
the fine spirit of cooperation which
they showed to him in working for the
good of the Clariosophic. In his inimitable
oratorical style he sought to impress
upon the members the magnitude
of their duty to their historic organization.
He closed his speech by exhorting
the Clariosophics to always take the
youth in Longfellow's poem, "Excelsior,"
as an example in their work as the mcmbers
of a literary society.
Joli.. Bolt Culbertson delivered one of
the mos. unusual and constructive inI
augural addresses heard in the Clario
sophic hall in many a day. Very frankly
he outlined the shaky position which the
literary societies held on the catnpus to
I day and in catidid words told the memv
bers just how they are to be blamed for
; V the present situation. He reviewed the
; history of the society and pointed out
how gre?at should be its influence on the
'.lUl-'H campus. He then entered into tf?e con,
, I structive part of his speech and outlined
..'./.'I a plan whereby/ the literary societies on
.1 the campus might not only regain that
I part of their prestige which they have
I lost but might also advance to heights
I of importance heretofore unattained and
I come to be of unlimited service to the
^ I student body and the Universty of South
Carolna.
In addtion to the speeches of the new
,I and retiring presidents, a distinguished
r:::1 alumnus of the society, John J. Mc''
I Mahon, gubernatorial candidate of last
- >' year, being a visitor in the hall, delivered
I a brief address to the members, commending
them on the progress shown
by the Clariosophic Society in recent
years.
ACCIDENT OCCURS
I AT PRESSING CLUB
No One Injured As Boiler Of
Gamecock Club Explodes;
New One To Be Installed
Soon
Sounding throughout the whole
campus, the steam boiler of the Gamecock
Pressing club exploded Thursday
afternoon at 3:00 o'clock. Excessive
steam pressure caused the vessel, which
has a capacity of about 25 gallons, to
be blown into a worthless mass of
metal. As the boiler sides burst, steam
and hot water were shot up into the air
for many feet. No students were pass- 1
ing in the vicinity, fortunately. 1
Students from every corner of the 1
campus were attracted to the scene of
the miniature disaster within a few
minutes.
Coach Stoney, manager of the pressing
club, stated that a new boiler would
be installed at once in order to handle
the work easily.

Trees On Greet
Commemor
Many students and visitors( at the Uni- ]
versity have doubtless seen the trees
planted in a row from behind Melton
Observatory along Green Street to
Pickens and along Pickens to LeConte
College, and wondered at their origin.
These trees were planted as a memorial
to the war dead of the students
and alumni of the University of South
Carolina. They were planted April 29, 1
1919, and dedicated in the following
program:
Invocation, Rev. E. A. Penick, Jr.;
Greeting, President Currell; Song,
Quartet; Poem, Miss Mary Louise 1
Jones; Song, Quartet; Memorial Ad- '
dress, Rev. Thornton C. Whaling; 1
Music; Procession to LeConte College; 5
and Dedication of trees to the dead. 1
The trees were dedicated one to each J
of the war dead. Reside each tree is a 1
small slab of granite, With a bronze engraving
to the man in whose memory 1
the tree was planted. The names include '
many of the most prominent ones in
South Carolina and neighboring states. !
In 1927, there was erected a marble 1
monument by the American Legion '
Auxiliary. It is located directly behind '
Melton Observatory and on it is in- 1
scribed the following: '
"Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria
Mori. '
"These trees were planted in memory !
of the students and alumni of the Uni- 1
versity of South Carolina who gave '
their lives for their country and hu- '
inanity on the Mexican Border and '
in the World War, 1916-1918. Erected by J
the South Carolina Department of the 1
American Legion Auxiliary, May 30, 5
1927. 'There is a true glory and a true
honor, the glory of duty done, The honor ^
of integrity of principle'?Robert E

Biography Of Sumter Again
Thwarted; Manuscript Lost!
Fate seems to intervene in each in- i
stance when some biographer attempts to <
write a life of General Thomas Sumter. ]
The sixth attempt was frustrated when
Dr. Anne King Gregorie, graduate of
1929, who was the first person to re- ceive
a Ph.D. in( history at the University,
had her manuscript, a "Biogra- j
phy of General Thomas Sumter," stolen
from the back of her car in Charleston.
The theft occurred week before last
just as she was ready to have it published.
This event is remarkable in the fact
that during the last century five people
have attempted to publish such a biography,
but due to some accident, have
never succeeded in doing so.
Miss Gregorie's biography is the outgrowth
of the thesis with which she
won her degree two years ago, and on
which subject she has been continuing
her study for the last two years. Due to
the failure of the first five biographers,
Miss Gregorie had no reference volumes
to be guided by in writing her biography,
and now she has lost the only existing
copy. 1
