F. Crow, dean of the University school of education. The d course will be taught by Mrs. Arney o R. Childs, dean of women. The course has been reinstated in H the summer school after a lapse of several years because of the growing t interest in th work of deans of girls tl in the high schools of South Carolina. g An incraesing number of high schools have appointed deans of grils, advi sers of girls, or counselors in the last a few years.

Delivers Address On "Sportsmanship;" Bob Hemphill Presides Declaring that if you can play the art of a good sportsman on all oc asions there is little doubt that you vill be successful in your chosen field, 'resident William P. Jacobs of Pres yterian College delivered the keynote ddress at the Spring Omicron Delta Cappa tapping exercises in chapel yes erday morning. Twelve students and wo honorary members were taken into he national honorary leadership fra ernity. Doctor Jacobs, who has identified iimself with the drug, textile, and printing industries and has shown con iderate interest in athletics, said that F sportsmanship could be injected into mployers and employees there would e no industrial strife. State Needs Sportsman "What we need in the United States nd the State of South Carolina is not hampions half as much as we need portsmen," the speaker declared. "It s illogical for small institutions to try o compete with darge schools on a >arity, or for disproportionate states o attempt equality in economic and neial advancement. We should make he large institutions of the country ealize they are meeting small teams hat play honestly, vigorously, and portsmanlike. "At Presbyterian College we don't >ropose to meet other schools Onl a >arity. We lose most of the games >ut impress our opponents with the act that we are scrappy and aze true portsmen." Unsung Heroes As a general example of one of the iighest types of sportsmanship, Presi len Jacobs pointed out that all the reat football heroes won their record ecause some unselfish teammate andled the interference while they cored touchdowns and received the cclaim. The exercises were opened by Rob rt W. Hemphill, president of O. D. K., vho introduced the Rev. F. Ray Rid lie, pastor of Shandon Presbyterian hurch, for the invocation.
