McCall of the Education department. _ In two of the classes tested, composed ^ of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the median score of 5.7 was made, rcpre- st senting a neutral position on the part of most of the students. The statement which received the ai highest score (10.8) was; "Inherently a the white man and the negro are equal." Valued at zero was the extreme atli- (] tudc; "I place the negro on the same js social basis that I would a mule." A jj| second extreme was voiced in; "No ft negro has the right to question the illegal killing of one of his own race." s< Next to the top in liberality was the w sentiment; "The negro should be given is the same educational advantages as the d< white." tc Fraternity News Ellsworth Vines, famous tennis player, stopped at the Sigma Nu house for a few minutes last week as lie was passing through 011 his way to Florida.

A. thesis in the University of South Carolina library entitled "Crime and its Punishment in South Carolina before the Civil War," by T. W. Bowen. The law then could hang a man on suspiciati alone. For minor offenses, there was the whipping post; and for crimes of a more serious nature, maiming, branding. and the gallows. Kvery pirate captured was sent to the gallows. I here being only a few jails and no penitentiaries or prison farms, capital punishment was the only sort inflicted. Once for horse-stealing, a man was branded with a hot iron 011 both cheeks and his forehead and then his ears cut with a dull knife," said Mr. Bowen in an illustration quoted from the writings of an eye-witness.
