Flashes
One of the most unusual occurrences
in the first semester examinations held
recently at the University of South
Carolina was a night examination held
on French. This is one of the few times
in the history of the University that an
examination was held after dusk. Judg
ing from the marks made by the students,
the light of the moon must have had a
good effect on them.
The new wings to Thornwell college
at the University of South Carolina will
be numbered 21 and 24 1-2 according to
J. M. Cantey, marshal at the University.
Tenement 25 has been so numbered for
years and to number the new wing "25"
would necessitate changing four others.
Miarshal Cantey said that this change
would probably be effectedl in the future
but IIo t soon.
What has happened to tenements 8 and
13 at the University of South Carolina?
One can start at tenement 1 and continue
through seven and studdenly discover that
the next tenement is number 9. lIe can
then coil ntie through 12 and discover
that the next building is tenement 14.
Tenement 21 disappeared years ago hut
has reappearedl in the form of teni. 21 in
the new buildings.
C'lemnson scouts are as prevalent in Co
