Professor Uses New Expression That an old expression may be new to some people was the experience of Dr. Josiah Morse in his Social Psychology class this week. In illustrating the importance of seeing the important, the professor used he expression, "throwing out the baby with the bath." The class was amused at the novelty of the phrase, and after the lecture someone inquired as to its origin. "Oh, it's just an old expression," replied Dr. Morse. No one had heard it, however, and a search of all the books of quotations in the library was fruitless. U. 8, C.

In handwriting suggestive of one who is careful of the formation of his letters, the message as received this week was as follows: 7321 Panola Street New Orleans, La. Sept. 23, 1931. President L. T. Baker University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina Dear Sir: , Many and fervent thanks to the faculty and my brother alumni for the honor they have done me in telegraphing me so cordial a birthday greeting. The sweetness of its sympathy is worth all the fame I have missed iu life. , In return I can only wish them a longer and even happier life than has been my lot. The only real regret I have for my own part is that so large a part of it has been in exile from my native State, always loved by me more than any other land.
