Since character building is the most important feature of a col lege education it is of greatest impor tance that the matter of the honor system be stressed at the beginning ol the college course. It has been m~ experience that most people,want to b< honest and if they can just get the idea that honor is a part of them anc of their college and that they are ex pected to uphold it, their way will be made much smoother. I cannot dlose without approving the fine tone of your paper. Yours very truly, R. Beverley Herbert. -u. 3. 0. The original name of the District ol Columbia was Conococheague.

The State is now di- t1 vided into 14 Judicial Circuits instead t of the seven old Congressional Dis- t tricts. A vice-president presides over t, the counties of each of these circuits. t There are eight members at large of t the Alumni Council who are elected n for terms of two years each, they t having been elected originally so that a four members are holdovers each year t and four are elected each year. The ; 14 vice-presidents, the eight members t of the council, the presidents and the f executive secretary form the Govern ing Board of the Alumni Association. u Every section of the State of South s Carolina is well represented in the v Government of the Alumni Associa tion. The vice-president of each Judicial Circuit will hold a get-together meet ing of all Alumni residing in the coun- c ties composing his circuit at some time during the Fall and Winter months. The purpose of these meetings will be ti to form permanent Chapters for each Judicial Circuit, and to thoroughly or- d ganize the interest and work of the t former students for the progress of " the University. There are many things nt that the Alumni can do that will be \ of inestimable value to the University in the future, they can best accom- u plish these things by being thoroughly L organized and working together along i an accepted program.
