T ' , V, y-y Visitor Makes Speech Here Talks On Cecil Rhodes Sir Francis Wiley States Purposes Of Scholarships Left By Briton To promote a better understanding among English speaking peoples and to found so great a power as to render wars impossible were the purposes that Cecil Rhodes, one of the most famous Englishmen of the last century, had in mind when he left in his will the 96 Rhodes scholarships to Oxford to the United States, Sir Francis Wiley, former secretary to the Rhodes Scholarship institution set forth in a speech to the upperclassmen in chapel recently. Sir Francis Wiley during his visit to ,the University was entertained by the Rhodes scholars in Columbia. The four who were at the lecture and who later gave the visiting Englishman a luncheon were: Prof. Joseph Stokes, Prof. Joseph Norwood, and Irvine F. Belser and Frank McGowan, Columbia attorneys. His hope of a better understanding between the United States and England made him leave scholarships to the United States. It wa3 surprising that he left 1)6 scholarships to this country and only 60 to the whole British Empire. Chart Shows Large Increase (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ing to above 200. During this period the University was closed twice, once during the Civil War and again during the Reconstruction. In the session of 1899-1900 however the enrolment reached the two-hundred mark to stay and since that time there has been a steady growth. It was not until 1896 that women were admitted to the University and in 1898 the first woman graduate was Irene Dillard, now Mrs. C. B. Elliot, dean of women at the University. The first graduating class in 1806 consisted of one person and it was not until 1921 that a class numbered over a hundred. The size of the graduating class fluctuated even more than the size oi the Student Body, sometime sinking to the zero point and always subject to sharp changes. The grand total of students registered in the University from 1804 down to the present time is 42,043 of which 36,506 were registered during the regular term and 5,537 during the summer school. Of been given to women and 4,788 to men. and 9,452 were women. Up to 1931 the University had bestowed 5,509 degrees of which 721 had been given to women and 4,788 to men During its history the University has given 182 honorary degrees all of which were to men. By far the most popular has been the Bachelor of Arts degree 3,105 having received it as compared to the 869 that have received the degree of Bachelor of Laws.

Balf SEE OHARU Famous Harpist Draws Applause Appears In Chapel Mildred Dilling Gives Perlormance Before Enthusiastic Audience Miss Mildred Dilling, the internationally famous harpist, appeared at the chapel last night before an audience that enthusiastically received her I performance. Due to the fact that | there was also on this evening an entertainment on the regular student activit.es ticket, Miss Dilling's hearers were not as numerous as one of her talent and fame deserved, but those present expressed their appreciation by prolonged applause. To many she offered the first opportunity of hearing that instrument which is now almost obsolete; the harp. Her mastery of this instrument is unquestioned and she played with feeling and intelligence. Her program was varied and wellrounded and her selections showed off every facet of the harp's potentialities. Miss Dilling's virtuosity and mastery of technique are amazing. She has played two command performances before Former President and Mrs. Hoover and was selected to first broadcast via radio the sound of the harp in its native land, Ireland. Miller Offers Religious Data According to a recent survey of 2,300 college undergraduates, information was gained to support a claim that university life increases the interest of young persons in religion. This claim was presented by the Rev. John W. Miller, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Ohio State University, before the annual meeting of church workers in colleges of the Teacher's Pet ] Aston Dr. Bradley Says "Spitz" Is* Extremely Talented And Fond Of Company By Mary Ford "Aw, he's just a teacher's pet," said Dr. Bradley s class to the individual who was scolding those members who were late. But the dingier just kept on barking and wagging his tail. He was proud of the epithet. The little white dog who follows Dr. Bradley around quite in the classical manner of Mary and the Lamb, is as much of a faculty dog as one small Eskimo Spitz could well be. He was purchased by Dr. Bradley's daughter from Dr. Guy Lipscomb, taught to beg by Dr. Coleman, considers Madame Dennee his best friend, and helps Dean and Mrs. Motley do their entertaining. "Beaubeau wants to go to the University, ' said Dr. Bradley, assuming that gentle tone all animal-lovers use towards their pets. "He likes to play around on the campus and he loves football. He darts madly backwards and forwards in the stands when I take him to a game. Last winter when Dr. Bradley wa"2 conducting a coach-class at night, Beaubeau used to wheedle his way in whenever possible, and stand guard at the door, barking furiously at tardy members. Dr. Bradley classifies him as "the unrestrained type." "We got Beaubeau when'he was just a little round white ball of fluff," he recalled. "He belongs to my daughter Jane, who goes to the University High School. He is of the Samoyede family, although smaller than most of them, and is about two and one-half years old." Beaubeau has a well-developed taste for any kind of candy, particularly chocolates, he welcomes Madame Dennee, a frequent visitor to the Bradleys, with frantic glee, centering DRUG CO, 75* n Street NIGHT .L 3TORE" (ewelry 1 i UNA SEAL our Company IS STUOKEY New Soap To Discard Rings Copenhaver Reports ? i Process Found At U.

Copenhaver in a talk ] given before the LeConte Scientific So- 1 ciety last Friday. J The credit for the discovery of the piocess for making this soap is as yet ' undetermined, though Dr. Homer Atkinson and the students at the University ! of Wisconsin have been working on it a long time. 1 The soap can be made from cotton- 1 seed, and is treated with sulphuric acid, both of which substances arc obtainable in South Carolina. Dr. Copenhaver said in regards to this soap: "This new way to manufacture soap is , going to be one of the greatest revolu- , tions in soap in a long time. The price , v'ill at first be a little high, but the eliminr.tion of the time-worn ring around the bath-tub will be a great inducement to ( purchase this kind of soap. "The companies which will probably have patent control are the Proctor and Gamble, the Allied Dye and Chemical . Co., and the duPont Company." , Dr. Copenhaver gave many interesting ] incidents in the history of the development of the manufacture of soaps, both , here and abroad, while speaking on this subject. tr. s. c. north central conference, in session in Columbus, Ohio, last December 30. 1 Mr. Miller, who has been gathering his evidence for the last three years, j laughed at talk that "campus influences destroy student's interest in religion."

He is never disappointed, because there is always something for him in that receptacle. Asked whether Beaubeau could beg, Dr. Bradley looked indignant, "Beg? I should say so. Here's how he does it," and the head of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature ' gave an imitation. "When he looks like that," he declared, "you can't refuse him anything. He's irresistible." He likes company, and more than . that, wants all the affection that's dis- ! tributed around. "I can't even pat my , own son on the back any more," declared Dr. Bradley.

SYLVAN 1500 MAIN STRUT Corner 1 Pago Five ssion Works e Report Soon Dr. Ball Is Chairman Each Of Three Sections Of Commission Headed By S. C. Educators Undeveloped water power sites, topographic maps, and bridge construction are the divisions on which the State Water Power commission is working to complete its report by the last of March, according to T. F. Ball, professor of electrical engineering, and chairman of the commission. The report has been divided into three parts, each member taking one of the sections, to hasten the completion. Besides Professor Ball, L. S. LeTellier, professor at the Citadel, and Dean S. B. Earle of Clemson College are serving on the commission. Possible undeveloped water power sites in the State have been placed in the hands of Prof. L. S. LeTellier of The Citadel. He is also writing an introduction to the report. The need of a completion of the topographic survey in South Carolina is being written by Dean S. B. Earle of Clemson College. The State is somewhat behind in its mapping of topographic features which makes it exceedingly hard to give accurate date in many cases. Cooperation with the United States Geological Survey is being had for obtaining data on stream flow to facilitate the work on the line of bridge construction, flood control, and power dam sites. The Federal Government will put up a dollar against every one raised in the State for such work. It was pointed out that South Carolina is not nearly so well mapped as some of the neighboring states. Suggestion concerning a permanent Water Power Commission will be compiled by the three members of the Commission jointly. It is the desire that some commission be established for continuous work along this line. The report with some suggestion for reforestation in South Carolina will be edited and published by Professor Ball. This report will be handed over to Representative W. L. Daniel, Greenwood, and will be given consideration in the State Legislature. Dr. W. HTCaUcott To Serve On Committee Dr. W. H. Callcott, professor of History at the University has been asked by the Social Science Research Council to serve on the committee dealing with the Latin-America field. This research council spends large sums each year on fellowships and scholarships for research work on a wide range of subjects. The LatinAmerican committee is to work on appointments of men to go to countries in that district to study their government and history. Those selected for the research work are usually holders of either Ph.D. or M.A. degree. u. a. o.
