Honor Men May Expect Longer
Lives Than Athletes, According
To Statistics
"Honor men" at the age of 22 have
an expectation of life two years greater
than that of athletes, according to a
study of the subsequent life history of
38,269 men graduated from eight Eastern
colleges in the classes of 1870 to 1905.
The study, conducted by the Industrial
Department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, reveals that "athletes"
have an expectation of life of 45.56
years, just a trifle less than the general
group of "graduates," with an expectation
of 45.71 years.
A distinctly better record is made by
the "honor men," who surpass the general
average by just over two years,
with a score of 47.73 for their expectation
of life. This figure surpasses the
highest mark made in any national life
table for males; the table for New Zealand,
1921-22, which holds the record for
* > longevity, shows an expectation of 46.91
for males at age 22, almost a year less
than the "honor men."
"These latter make, indeed, an excellent
showing," the Statistical Bulletin
says. "Is this because mental and physical
fitness tend to^go together? Or, is
it because it is difficult for a man to
excel in scholarship unless he is in
good physical conditions.
~ "Probably both these causes contribute
in bringing about the observed ef;
IK feet. As regards the athletes, their
I record possibly may come as a surprise
I to some. So much has been said
I of the beneficial effects of physical
exercise, that one would perhaps have

On Sociology
Edgar Dale Publishes Sociology
Article In National
Bulletin
It is not possible to carry out complete
sociological studies in every community
to insure the formulation of curriculum
programs in terms of the needs
of the community, Edgar Dale says in
an article in the Educational Research
Bulletin, in the May issue.
The teachers and administrative officers
who know the deficiencies of their community
and recognize the social forces
operating therein can plan their curriculums
far more intelligently than those
who have not given the time and effort to
this research, he says.

Geology Prof
Writes Article
Julian Petty Of The University
Publishes First Article
On Pedestal Rock
Professor Julian J. Petty, of the Geology
department of the University, in
what seems probably the only article
ever written upon pedestal rocks occurring
in humid regions, was the author of
a recent article entitled "Pedestal Rocks
of Granite in the Southern Piedmont,"
which was published in the October issue
of the Journal of Elisha Mitchell Scientific
Society.
Professor Petty took as his special
field, "pedestal rocks in the Piedmont
plateau." He found that one of the pedestal
rocks most perfect in form lies
about four miles south of Winnsboro,
S. C. Another lies about two miles
southwest of Heath Springs. Others occur
in the granite area north of York,
S. C.
Professor Petty divided pedestal rocks
into two groups: in one type, the pedestal
is an integral part of the mass above
and below, no clear-cut fractures or
changes in rock character having brought
about a difference in rock weathering;
in the other type there is a separation of
upper and lower parts, the result being
a balanced or perched rock.

Lab Equipment
Found In Attic
Laboratory equipment which was used
over a century ago, was discovered in
the attic of LeContc College recently,
by Dr. J. 1?. Copenhaver, professor of
chemistry.
Much of the glasswork, which consists
of large distilling flasks, old retorts,
and separatory funnels, was found
in the stock room of the late Dr. W. B.
Blimey, head of the chemistry department
for half a century.
Some of the equipment is so old that
Dr. Copenhaver has been unable to name
it. The relics arc on display in the
chemistry lab.

University Alumnus
Resigns Post
W. C. McGowan, graduate of the
University of Columbia resigned as
chairman of the Richland County Red
C.ross chapter Wednesday afternoon
because of ill health.
Mr. McGowan had served as chairman
for a year, and it was with regret
that the board of directors of
the organization accepted the resignation.
He felt that due to his health
he was not able to give the chapter
enough of his time, especially during
the present emergency.

"In point of fact, they did not even
come up to the general average for all
graduates, including honor men, although
there must necessarily be some degree of
selection, students of relatively feeble

of things excluded from this group. In
spite of this, the entire group of athletes
fell below the average.

Biography Of
Turner Now
Being Written
Dr. Wienefeld Author
Biography Written On Request Of
American Council Of
Learned Societies
A biography of Edward Raymond
Turner, the historian, is now under preparation
by Dr. Robert Wienefeld of the
history department of the University.
The biography, undertaken on the request
of the American Council of
Learned Societies, will be included in
the American Biographical Dictionary to
be published by Scribner and Sons.
From 1911 to 1924 Mr. Turner was
professor of history at the University
of Michigan, from 1924 to 1925 at Yale
University and from 1925 to 1929 at
Johns Hopkins University, where death
ended his distinguished career.
The author, Dr. Wienefeld, is admirably
fitted to write the biography as he ,
received his degree of Doctor of Philosophy
at Johns Hopkins, while Dr. Turner
was there. Until he came to the
University a year ago, Dr. Wienefeld
was head of the history department at
Converse College.

Yujiro heki SaytJie Wi.hed
To Study Southern Cu*. <
toms And People
."Co-education is a good idea," said. '1
Yujiro Iseki, Student attach^ at the
Japanese embassy in Washington who
is attending the University this year, I
and for the first time in his life is at- vf
tending a co-educational institution.
Mr. Iseki, who came here straight '*3
from Japan registered as a special W
student in the junior class. He at- 1
tended the University of Tokio which with
10,000 students, is the largest in I
the Orient. He has studied English
v for ten years and can write and read 1
it with facility l\ut has some little dif?
ficulty in understanding spoken En|*S
lish unless it is spoken slowly and dis*??
tinctly. He speaks with a slight accent.
In Mr. Iseki's opinion co-education S
is the greatest difference between the S
University of South Carolina and the |P
University (of Tokio but he thinks it $
will be introduced into his country.
"When I was told in Washington 1
that Columbia had about 50,000 people
I expected it to be much larger and
busier that it is. When I arrived at
the station I was disappointed. However,
I found it calm and beautiful."
Mr. Iseki gave as his reasons for
choosing the University of South
Carolina instead of some other $
American school, that all of his friends f
went North, so he wanted to come i
South and study customs. Also, he |
was told that the climate was mild
and the people kind. Japanese students
can study in either the United
States or England. He chose this
country instead of England, because v||
he considers it the center of world iVii
economics and economics is one of
his chief interests.
Concerning the American opinion
of Japanese Mr. Iseki expressed the
opinion that those Americans who
stay in Japan for any length of time
are very pro-Japanese. In the United
States there is, however, an unfavorable
attitude toward the Manchurian . V *
question. The young attach^ attributes
this to the newspapers' stand
on the question bdeause he believes
the newspapers form the public
opinion.
