Dean Recalls I
With Li]
The recent passing of Sir Thomas
Lipton, famous Irish Sportsman and
English tea merchant, who had tried
in vain many times to win the "Yacht
Cup" with his famed ships, .the Shamrocks,
reawakened memories of a meeting
that William Dean, the Director of
the Palmetto Players had with the
famous man, while returning to New
York in 1923, j^fter an engagement in
England.
"While returning on the White Star
liner, the Cedric, it was decided, due
to the bad state of weather, to get up
some entertainment on the ship. I
was in charge of getting up the various
things and had occasion to ask Sir
Thomas, who was aboard to act as
a judge in a baby and mother contest.
"In making the final decision. Sir
Thomas said that he had never seen
so many good looking mothers with
children and made an unanimous decision,
awarding a silver spoon to all
eleven mothers in the contest. "During
the rest of the trip he was constantly
sending delicacies to the
i mothers in the third class cabins and
candy to the children."
After the landing Mr. Dean received
a letter from Sir Thomas, congratulating
him upon his excellent handling
of the entertainments on ship and presenting
him with an enameled gold
brooch, with a green Shamrock IV on
it.

Engineers Meet
, With Floridians
The University of South Carolina
will be represented at the student activity
conference of the American Institution
of Electrical Engineering
which meets soon at the University of
Florida. Local engineering students
will compete against schools east of
the Mississippi and south of Virginia.

schools are at present found in the
South.
Wardlaw college is to be the name
of the main structure of the new education
building according to a resolution
passed by the board of trustees
at its September meeting; in honor of
Dr. Patterson Wardlaw, retired, head
of the School of Education.
The auditorium will be called Drayton
hall in appreciation of the services
of Governor John Drayton in founding
the University of South Carolina,
and of his early advocacy of free
schools. Governor Drayton recommended
the establishment of the South
Carolina college in 1801, which developed
into the University, as an amplification
of his message of 1800,
strongly urging the establishment of
free schools. Drayton hall was the
name of the country home of the Draytons.
%
Pcabody gymnasium will be the
name of the gymnasium after Southern
education's first great philanthropist,
George Peabody of 'Massachusetts,
London, and Baltimore.
Several of the city school systems of
South Carolina were founded with
Peabody' money, as was also Winthrop
Training school. When the corpus
iof the Pcabody fund was distributed
about twenty years ago, the
sum of six thousand dollars was given
to the University as a nucleus for the
erection of a building for the School
of Education. The interest on this
fund was to support scholarships ir
the School of Education until a sufficient
amount could be raised to erect
a suitable building.
Over the main entrance of the new
building will appear the words
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, UNI
VERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
This title will serve to unify anc
identify the entire group. All of th<
titles will be placed over the entrance!
in handsome bronze letters.
