'he wrong time of the year for that
'ticular type of vegetation, so we had
e content with green grass.

a lad of 12 summers, I suggested

saw most of the city in the
man's open car. Churchill
where the famous Kentucky
y is run, was the first point of in
st. The track is 1.8 miles long and
stands will seat approximately
.00,000 people. Morris told us that an
average of half a millon people usually
attend this annual classic. He said
that the cheapest seat is $5.00 and box
seats often sell for as much as $300:00.
Admission to the park is $5.00. All
around the outside of the structure are
posted the names of winning horses
since the tracks were opened.
"We viewed the Kool, Spud and
Twenty Grand cigarette factories and
at each place a sample package was
given us. By the way, if any of you
prefer Twenty Grands I will gladly
give you the remainder of the pack
that I didn't smoke.
Many Distilleries
"Louisville probably has more dis
tilleries in it than any other city in the
country. There are 121 distilleries and
four breweries. A large delegation,
sponsored by the convention, went
through four of the distilleries and one
of the breweries.
"Unlike many states, Kentucky al
lows whiskey to be sold openly. I mean
'by that, it is sold in drug stores, etc.,
a'nd one may find a bar in every block.
"I was extremely amused by the
ignorance of some Yankees. Perhaps
50 per cent of the delegates have never
seen cotton growing. One young lady
from New York nearly went mad with
joy when she saw a cow. This may
seem queer to you, but imagine your
self being shut up in a city like New
York all your life.
Far From Home
"The representative from Walla
Walla, Washington, traveled the
fartherest distance in getting to the
convention. Before he gets back to his
university he will have traveled approx
imately 5.000 miles. If nothing hap
pens, he should get there tomorrow.
"It was interesting to note how many
of the northern delegates were Demo
crats and how many of them stood up
for Roosevelt. The University of Kan
sas's representative contended that
Landon will not get a third of the
votes in his own state. Even Repub
lican editors were confident that
Roosevelt will come through with fiy
ing colors. There is much more in
terest in politics in the North than there
is in the South. Usually, when one
delegate met another, he would ask,
"Democrat or Republican?"
Many Girls Present
"I was happily surprisedl to find that
meewere a number of young ladies
a. the convention. I expected to find
a bunch of book worms among the
itors and a hatch of high pressure
cemen among the business manag
Intstead, I found congenial, jovial
college people.

mayor of the city, Herbert Agar,
author and columnists; "Dusty" Mit

Phelps, president of Winthrop College;
and John B. Kennedy, NBC announcer
and former editor of Colliers.
"We had an exceptionally good time.
I hope that you will get to go to a
convention sometime."

Green Eyes
ProveNothing
"There is dio established rule that a
person with green eyes will be abnormally
jealous, or that a person, with red hair
will have an ungovernable temper," Dr.
Kershaw Walsh, professor of Psychology
at the University asserted.
"The popular conception that red hair
is a sign of a fiery temper and that the
color of the eyes is related to the in
dividual's personality is sheer mythology,
but there is more foundation to the view
that a high forehead is an indication of
higher intelligence," Dr. Walsh said.
It was pointed out a definite correla
tion between intelligence and a high
forehead has actually been established.
An outstanding exception to this es
tablished rule was Anatole France whose
head was oaly iwo-iids the aIialal
size.
Dr. Walsh stated that, "There is a
difference in the intelligence potentiali
ties of different races. However, cer
tain individuals of certain races can go
as far in intellect development as indi
viduals of another race."

Sumter Man
Oldest Grad
The distinction of being the oldest
living alurunus of the University goes t
to Rev. A. G. Townsend of Sumter. 1
Upon the death of Dr. Charles W.
Hutson in May, 1936, at the age of
)4, the honor of being the oldest alum
ius automatically fell on the Rever
:nd Townsend. Doctor Hutson of I
he Class of 1860 was buried at the I
arolina cemetery in New Orleans, La.
The oldest alumnus of the Univer
;ity keeps a cane which is handed a
lown to him by the heirs of the de
:eased predecessor. The daughter of
he late Doctor Hutson returned the
lumni cane and it will be delivered
o Reverend Townsend within the next
ew days.

New Biography
"George McDuffie," a biography in
>ook form, written by Dr. Edwin L.
,reen, head of the department of An

It was said of Mr. McDuffie, that
'if the South Carolina college had ed
