Tribute Paid To One
Shrouded In Mystery
(CONTINUED FROM PAQE ONE)
This is followed by an illegible
Latin sentence.
Where were his father and mother
when he died? Who was the "father,
sole survivor of an only son?" Was
he Jean's father or a gentleman whose
only son had died? These questions
arise and remain unanswered as part
of the tragedy.
Professor E. C. Coker at the University
has written the following words
as a memorium to Jean and encouragement
to the students at the University:
Brave Spirit, sleep on !
The sinking sun which sheds its
quiet glow upon this slab, and
sinks behind old Congarec's western
bluff, has seen old Earth
swing round full five score times
since rest did conic to thee.
One hundred times and more a
restless, eager band of youths has
come to Carolina to seek the
knowledge thou didst come to
find. 'Perhaps thy overzealous
mind has left a wrath of influence,
a hovering breath that flits
among the campus rooms, and
gives to those who follow thee an
unsensed stimulus to urge them on,
and keys them to a more successful
race for learning.
What history thou hast missed 1
How many of those choice fellows
who with tender hearts removed
thy bones to this now
sacred spot, left Carolina's sheltering
walls to leave their bones upon
Virginia's battlefields, giving
their lives, too, to that great zestful
struggle to further the cause of
freedom.
As out of thy grave, fattening
upon thy remains, grows this great
oak, may we of 1934, new runners
. in the race, taking fresh courage
from thy example, hold high aloft
the torch of truth. May we keep
faith with thee, Calm Spirit, and
carry on to win the goal denied to
thee.

One Student Criticizes
Lowering Of Wall
To The Editor of The Gamccock !
Why did they take down the top of
Carolina's traditional wall? Among the
opinions advanced by reputable commentators
is that the workmen were
friends who, having no appreciation of
the beauties incipient in bricks 200 years
old, attacked the landmark out of pure
miliciousness. The former Gamccock
Football lineman, Firpo O'Dell, who
with a heavy pick-ax over his shoulder,
directed the fiends, was thought
of as the "Arch-fiend."
But now behold how the unintelligent
fiend has metamorphosed into and
ingenious Empire builder with a benign
interest in the welfare of his
Alma Mater. For what has happened
to the old bricks that he and his "fiends"
piled up and cleaned? They are being
diverted into a use that would make
those old alumni who witnessed their
erection cither moan in their graves
or grin so broadly that their coffins
would split open with the strain.
Some time ago the University had
a machine shop. It was not a very big
machine shop, it had only dirt for a
floor foundation, but it was the pride
of the campus mechanics. Gradually
however, as the machines grew older
and the space allotted to them more
inadequate, they were allowed to rust,
and their shed was permitted to lose
its erstwhile spruce appearance.
So now Roosevelt has come along
and given our University enough men
to build two or three machine shops,
but not enough money to buy bricks for
foundations. However, those who tell
the fiends what to do found that it
would be a good idea to take down the
old machine shed and some parts of the
walls, and use the bricks which a handmade
generation paid for and put up
for the purpose of enclosing the cleaned
and modernized engines of the machinemade
generation.
Not only the walls were taken down,
but also the old shops and sheds which
had been put under separate roofs as
the growing University taxed the capacity
of the old shops. Most of the
bricks arc being ysed for foundations.
The new shop will occupy the space
behind the Canteen where two shops
and single shed used to stand. Work
has not started on the walls.

In a duel with Charles Dickinson,
Andrew Jackson wore an oversize coat
and Dickinson misjudged the location
of his adversary's heart.
What would the world think of me
and of Greece, if Insult died of heart
disease??Nicolas Moutzourides, Greek
minister of interior.
People accept gold because it looks
good to them.?Henry Ford.
"Hysterical" State Map
Drawn By Oeisberg
Drawing of his third and most
"compleat", "hysterical" map of South
Carolina has been recently finished by
Irving F. Geisberg, Columbia artist,
who has taken some art work at the
University of South Carolina since his
graduation from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1929 in fine arts.
This map was preceded by the one
which appeared on the inside cover
pages of the 1932 Garnet and Black,
University yearbook, and another
which was shown at the university
art exhibit last year. This third map,
an improvement over these two, is
along the same lines, but includes additions
and more elaborate sketches.
On thjs map west is referred to as
"I'm No Angel" and east, represented,
as west, by an angel, is denoted as
"Me Neither."
Columbia is marked by the words
"Driest Spot in S. C." Charleston
is pointed out by "Here the Ashley
and Cooper Rivers Form the Atlantic
Ocean." The Camden toll bridge seen
as a place where a man poking his
head out from a cabin flying the pirate
flag yells "Fifty Cents" to an automoblilist,
who replies "Sold!"
Mr. Geisberg, who is a native Anderson,
has been art editor of the South
Carolina University yearbook and the
Carolinian, University monthly magazine.
He is now doing commercial
art work in Columbia.

I send the American people my government's
and my own most cordial

of Cuba.

of the Harvard Law School.
Eradicate poverty by getting rid of

No noe but a cross-eyed man can

Turpin.

Scientific Kitty G-oes
Into New Profession
By Phillip Space
Roxannc has discovered her profession?
A former boarding house cat, she
was formerly interested in serving excellent
meals, but this became boring
to an intelligent cat.
So Roxannc decided to change her
habitat b>r moving over to one of the
campus tenements. This came about
after long meditation as the residents
were not of her sex.
As many students were going to
laboratory the first evening after her
arrival, Roxannc decidcs to go along,
thinking that she might find something
interesting.
While a famous chemistry student
was doing a careful experiment, expecting
to make a discovery, some one
pulled the meddlesome cat's tail. Now,
the scientific world gets a break?
Roxannc turns over a chemical into
the nearby experiment.
The student, heartbroken and anguished,
decidcs to continue his testing.
There! He thought he lijad discovered
something, but, not so.
After all, the scientific kitty must
be watched.
Be careful, chemist 1
