, Alu j! ? Funeral Servici For Hop A. Buried . In Elmwood Many Mourn Loss Of Beloved Alumnus; Bishop Finlay Conducts Services The funeral services for Hope Henry Lumpkin, '04, were held at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon at Trinity Episcopal Church. While these services were held here similar services were held in Grace Episcopal Church, Madison, Wisconsin, of which Mr. Lumpkin was rector. The services here were conducted by the Rt. Rev. Kirkman G. Finlay, D. ?>., bishop of the upper diocese of South Carolina, and by the Rev. Henry D. Phillips, D. D., rector of Trinity Church. Following the funeral services the interment was held in Elmwood cemetery. The pallbearers were: James G. Holmes, James H. Fowlcs, J. Edwin Reiser, B. Lucas Webb, Christie Benet, Edward S. Cardwell, Dr. E. L. Green, O. Frank Hart, and Judge M. S. Whaley. Mr. Lumpkin held a number of charges and for five years he was Missionary at Fairbanks, Alaska. For thirteen years he was' rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Madison Wis. He was a 33rd degree Mason and a Knight Templar. He was the first Commander of the farthest north commandery ih the world, Fairbanks, Alaska. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity as are his three brothers, Alva M. Lumpkin, Morris C. Lumpkin, Bryan H. Lumpkin. His parents were originally of Georgia, but came to Columbia when Mr. Lumpkin was a small boy. Among the many expressions of sympathy and regret upon the death of Mr. Lumpkin none were more sincere and comprehensive than that of his friend Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin. He described Mr. Lumpkin in these words: "'The Rev. H. H. Lumpkin was the most selfless and Christian man I have known. Ms a communicant of Grace Church, I knew him as a pastor whose personal counsels were always marked by breadth and depth and richness. I knew him in the informal and intimate relationship of a small dining club made up of men of university and of city. Always and everywhere he was at once a man of God and a man among men. A devoted son of the church, he never allowed the externals of religion to obscure its essence. He would have been a profound spiritual power among his fellows had he never preached a sermon or administered a sacrament, for he was BAKER'S DI "Quick Service With DRUGS, CANDIES, El 2000 Main Street The HOPKINS MAP Y< "WE SELL IT P.

This last appears to have been an exposition held by the city of Columbia. "Those who have rooms in the new dormitory enjoy baths in the same building," we also learn from the "notes." "The total enrollment so far this year is 571. This is the high water mark in the history of the institution," said Dr. Currell, in an article written for The State of February 18, 1916, in which he pointed out that the increased enrollment was proof that the University had gained in the esteem of the people. Much enjoyment may be had from glancing through the volumes of this collection of clippings and to see plans of the University officials that have since been realized and other the faith that they had in the institution.

The many friends of Nelson Fortson, varsity guard on the football team and junior in the School of Arts and Sciences, will regret to learn of the death of his mother.

Mrs. Conn is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. LeGrand . Guerry, and is well known in Columbia social circles. After graduating from Davis High School, she entered the University and would have been a junior this year. Mr. Conn was educated at the Georgia School of Technology and .is now with the General Motors Acceptance Company. The couple will live in Norfolk, Vu. where Mr. Conn is now located. Scott-Wald Of interest to University students was the marriage last Saturday of Caro Lamar Scott of Columbia to Emil Wald, Jr. of Richmond, Va. The marriage was solemnized at high noon in the First Baptist Church in Columbia. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left by automobile for a trip which they will take before they go to live in Richmond where Mr. Wald has a position with the Virginia Insurance Rating Bureau. Mr. Wald is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Wald of Columbia. After graduating from Davis High School he attended the Banks School and the University of South Carolina. For the past four years he has been with the Rating Bureau in Richmond. Mrs. Wald is the only daughter of Mrs. Lemual Scott and the late Mr. Scott of Columbia. She was educated at Chicora College at Columbia and at Virginia College in Roanoke, Va. Hildreth-Walker Miss Frances Eloise Walker of Columbia was married Tuesday, October 11 to Lawrence Clyde Hildreth formerly of Louisville, Ky. but now of Columbia. The ceremony was performed in the Washington Street Methodist Church in Columbia with a large number of friends and relatives attending. After the ceremony the bride and groom left on a bridal trip from which they will return after ten days. Upon their return they will live at 2216 Terrace Way, Columbia. Among the bridesmaids were Eloise Milligan and Juddy Knox, both co-eds at the University. Evelyn Walker, sister Ball's Book Co By Dr. 1 Professor Emeritus Of The Histoi Of South Carolina Di By Promin< By Philip "A truly line book," were the words of praise used by Dr. Yates Snowden, professor emeritus of the History department of the University, in his commendation of Dr. William Watts Ball's new book, "The State That Forgot,? South Carolina's Surrender to Democracy." When questioned further, Dr. Snowden added: "Whether or not you are convinced by Dr. Ball's conclusions and opinions, for it is a pessimistic wail of woe from start to finish, the facts lie presents demand attention from every thoughtful South Carolinian and especially from real students, for the state has not an abler editor, or the University a more devoted alumnus! "The book is a gold mine for anecdotes and good stories, in spite of the gloomy, political outlook, for Ball smiles through his tears, so to speak, and covers the whole state. It will equally interest the student from the 'Dark Corners' of Edgefield and Greenville, from Wildcat or Catarrh, from Ilell-llolc or Too-gadoo, for Ball is not Up-country nor Lowcountry?he is a South Carolinian to the finger tips." In addition to Dr. Ball's book, there have been other books from our alumni which have appeared at about the same time and which Dr. Snowden calls to attention. "As I have already considered Ball's book, elsewhere, it might be well to note several other works from our alumni which have recently appeared, all which I have not read but which I warmly recommend. "The most entertaining of them is the profusely illustrated volume, "South Carolina during Reconstruction," by Francis B. Simkins, collaborating with Professor Woody. Dr. Simkins, who graduated in 1918, I believe, is well known to many students because of his notable life of B. R. Tillman. I would commend his liberality in sending a complimentary copy of his last book (a v . *? .1 . bbbs ii ri'i "i i11 1 g-gggggBgggee Alumni May Order Seats For Contest Can Reserve Choice Seats In Center Of Field By Mail For Game In Nov. Members of the Alumni Association of the University for the fiscal year, 1932- 1 1933, are entitled to order four seats, in* their own name, in the alumni sections for the football game between Carolina and Louisiana State University, to be played in Columbia November 5. The alumni sections are near the center of the field on the Carolina side and are among the most desirable in the stadium. As this date has been set aside as Homecoming Day, alumni arc urged to mail their orders in as early as possible. Sale will be conducted by mail from the Athletic office under the rules contained in letters sent out by the Alumni Association. This is the fourth football season that members of the association have been able to make their reservations for good seats at the home games. This courtesy lor members of the association was obtained by George Hell Timmerman, president of the association; and Barney A. Earley, executive secretary, through the cooperation of the Athletic Association. It has proved its worth many times. Officers of the Alumni and Athletic Associations feel that in giving members the privilege of ordering good seats to the games that they are extending a deserved courtesy to those alumni who have manifested enough interest to join the association. The same plan is being worked successfully in all of the leading colleges and universities of the nation. It has proved very popular to those alumni who arc getting service unknown three years ago.

His book still attracts marked attention. "Dr. J. Harvey Rogers, who graduated here in 1906, or 1907, and is now on the faculty of Yale, is the author of two notable works which have been highly commended by the critics. (1) 'Speculation on the Money Market' and (II) 'Process of Inflation in France.' Since the appearance pi the work on 'Money by Col. William L. Trcnhohn, (one of our anti-bcllum alumni!) Comptroller of the Currency under Cleveland, I know of no authoritative works on finance by South Carolinians until these works of Dr. Rogers appeared. "H. C. Brearlcy, Ph. D. (now a member of the faculty of Clcmson College) a graduate of the University in 1920, last year wrote a notable work on 'Homicide In The United States,' a doctor's dissertation at the University of North Carolina. It has been favorably acclaimed by all the critics, and is a credit to Southern scholarship." As to other noteworthy contributions to South Carolina literature Dr. Snowden continued. "I have not, you note, referred to notable works by members of the present faculty, as?Dr. Callcott's valuable historical works on Mexico, and Dr. Derrick's definitive 'Centennial History of 'the South Carolina Railroad.' Neither of those eminent scholars arc among our alumni." Dr. Snowden then conclusively stated: "I doubt if there is any 'mute in glorious Milton' in our student body, but that we have some historians and scientists in embryo, I make no doubt. Rogers, Simkins, and Brearley have set the pace! Next!" v. . o. * Recent Graduate Goes To California School Miss Rachacl Thomas of Marion, who graduated from the University of South A - S.t ' .
