Effort Mado To Familiarize Studexi

neotion With Stude
"You can feel the 'atmosphere' of
the University every time you' hear
the word Carolina. The past, its
honorable traditions and memories
speak to you from the walls, the buildings,
the trees," declared Professor
Harry C. Davis in addressing the
freshman class Wednesday morning
in chapel.
"Have you felt the atmosphere of
past days as you have entered the library
or read a word here and there
of the weathering inscription on
Maxcy's monument? Do not the walls,
the trees, the buildings, the names, say
some one thing to you that convinces
you that these are not walls, trees,
buildings, alone. When Lausanne was
touring the states, he entered this
campus, and said, at last atmosphere,
you will always feel it when you say
Carolina!"
Professor Davis quoted several
source books where one might go and
find much interesting material on the
Venerable traditions of the college. He
.mentioned the fact that Lafayette was
made an honorary member of the
Euphradian Literary society and that
the Clariosophic Society erected the
monument to our first president, Jonathan
Maxcy. The Grecian columns;

After describing the Maxcy monument
and the incidents of historical ^
ci
note connected with it, he related g
several interesting and amusing hap- jpcnings
of former student life here.
One of the exams given to a group
of students asked for the name of the ^
textbook, which counted five points, ^
and a discussion of the text, which ^
counted 95 points. The students were
often required to stand by the professor
while reciting and to bow ^
stiffly when they left the room. The
class rules were very exacting. A
passing student of that time would be
termed a "shark" today. Entrance re- ^
quirements were so strict that the enrollment
fell from 237 in 1849 to 122 C'
in 1853. ^
Professor Davis cited several in- p
cidents where graduates of the University
had gained national recogni- f,
lion.
He will lecture soon on the athletics S(
at the University. j,

Watch For Meteorites ?

E. C. Coker, professor of Astron- ?

Dunn, Davis, Turner, and Dukes, went ^
to Laval's golf course Tuesday night
out toward the airport, to observe ^
what they were hoping would be a
display of meteorites. They were on
the course from 11:50 to 3:10. They
saw 49 meteors, only two or three of
which could be classed as brilliant. t]
A Mr. Whittle carrier for The State, s;
said that he saw a very brilliant meteor C

Development In S. 0. Says
Professor
"The marked increase in business
as been the most important develop- t
lent in South .Carolina during the b
ast year," Dr. Samuel M. Derrick de- d
larcd recently before a meeting of n
outhern economists in Atlanta, Ga. g
)r. Derrick attended the meeting as \
representative from the University. Vi
"The best business barometer we if
avc is our business license taxes. ^
ind for the last three months they f(
ave shown an increase in revenue of
3 per cent over the corresponding
eriod last year. The gasoline' tax tj
2venue, another index has increased g
bout 12 per cent during the last ?
uarter over the same quarter of last s,
ear," he asserted. 1
He pointed out that with the ex- t,
option of a few small concerns, every a
otton mill in the state is operating a)
ill time, that is, two forty hour shifts M
er week.
"Of more than passing note is the p
ict that from the various federal re- 0
ef funds South Carolina has already v
ecured 18 million dollars and is ask- ^
ig for 10 million more. These funds a
ave in no small measure helped main- Q
lin business. The business of the
tate is receiving considerable impetus \x
rom the large increase in the number t(
f federal employees connected with ^
lie federal agencies concentrated in
lolumbia," he asserted.

The quiet decorum of Dr. Bass' 8

roken last Thursday morning by a
ithcr unusual statement t>y liie doctor ?
imself. The students, who were listen- a
ig as well as could be expected to an n
arly morning discourse on Anglo- a

lieir reveries when the professor
almy said that his grandfather once R
illed three deer with one shot of an
Id muzzle-loading blunderbuss.
It seems that this mighty hunter c
ame upon a herd of the wary animals
I an open field; with the patience of
lunchausen waiting for the drove of

is time until two of the biggest bucks t
acked horns in a death struggle and v
nother crossed between them?then

)r. Copenhaver Addresses Scientific
Society On Deuterium
Oxide
"It might be that some day deuerium
oxide will be of tremendous
iological importance. This cannot be
etermincd until there is more experilental
evidence. Chemists and bioloists
in the large laboratories of
rale, Princeton, and other leading unicrsities
are now experimenting to find
:s action on plants and animals, said
)r. J. E. Copenhaver, associate procssor
of chemistry at the university.
In the course of his talk on Deuirium
Oxide and some of its properies,
at the meeting of the LeConte
cientific society last Friday evening,
)r. Copenhaver explained that this
ubstance is an isotope of hydrogen,
'he deuterium atom is approximately
wice as heavy as the hydrogen atom,
nd when combined with the oxygen
tom it forms deuterium 'oxide, or heavy
rater.
Deuterium oxide is very scarce at
resent, said Dr. Copenhaver. Only
ne-half pint has been prepared. Its
alue is? $150 per gram, or $150,000 per
uart. Its boiling point, melting point,
nd density are higher than those of
rdinary water.
It has been suggested that deuterim
oxide might be used as a drink
o raise the temperature of the body,
ut this use has not been determined.

For Y Vespers
The subject discussed at the Vesper
crvices last Sunday night was "The
Vays and Means of Creative Living"

residing.
Jacqueline Emerson was in charge

The reasons for putting Christ first
n our lives, as discussed by Dr.

i his scheme of things, because of
lis supremacy in the realm of intelict,
because without Him there is no
nduring morality, and because of our
ced of Him as a personal Savior.

"I am excitcd about this 'program

November 21. ^
"This is a brand new idea and I H

Rare Volume
^ems Of P. J. Malone
iven To South Carolina Room By
Poet's Daughter. SoldierPoet
Highly Praised
# ?
A rare volume of the poems of Peter
ihu Malone of Charleston has just
jen presented to the South Carolina
>om of the library by his daughter,
/hen only sixteen he enlisted in the
irst South Carolina Cavalry Regient,
which a year later took part in
ie battle of Gettysburg. The boy
)ldier was severely wounded in the
st desperate charge, and 'Was left on
je field by the retreating army. The
ill was never removed, and long after
e war caused his death.
Doctor Wauchope, who examined
ie book, says that Malone was be3nd
question a true poet with the
vine gift of song, a latent genius like
hatterton, "the inheritor of unfulfilled >
nown." A cursory reading of "First
ove,? "Long Ago," "The Message
om the Sea," "The West Wind,' and
3oethe and Fredirica" convinced him
at the soldier-poet possessed unusual
ilcnts as a word-painter of the beaues
of nature, and could write lyric
:rse of exquisite grace and harmony.
These poems, Miss Malone tells us,
rst appeared in the Charleston Courr,
The Southern Magazine, and other
:riodicals. George H. Sass praised
lem as poetry "of the highest, purest
uality," and Frank L. Stanton deared
that "Malone's work will live if
ie world can find it."
