NRMANCANR\i,I 01 IS EDrR OF-HE DILY CALIF ,ONKAN/ @A.eP. -Coker Continued From Page One life and character was his course in liberal education at the University, here he graduated in 1891 after our years of training under such eat teachers as James Woodrow, ajor Sloan, Means Davis, and thers of a great faculty. "His education here was not so ch vocational as enlightening and Itural. It developed and cultivated ie scientific attitude of mind, the hility to think, creative imagina on, good taste and the apprecia ion of beauty in life and nature. hese are the traits and qualities he often manifested and applied in is life activities. "He chose farming as his vocation nd pursued it zealously and found atisfaction not so much in material rofit as in the achievement of suc s in solving problems and in con ributing to the welfare of his coun ry and the prosperity of its citizens. "To each generation since its ounding one hundred and thirty even years ago, the University has ven a brilliant group of leaders n war, statecraft, jurisprudence, ed cation, and theology. The para ount issue of this generation is so ial and industrial. "No citizen has contributed more ward the solution of contemporary roblems than David Coker, the cientist, scholar, organizer, and lover f nature and beauty. In recogni ion of his worth, the Faculty of the niversity, in 1916, awarded him the cMaster medal, given occasionally o an alumnus in honor of his out tanding service to the State. The niversity of North Carolina and he College of Charleston each con ferred the LL. D. degree; Duke Uni versity, the Doctor of Science degree. "The results of research in the Coker laboratories are followed close ly by scientists of all nations. "You have here," commented a prominent visitor, "one of the most remarkable agricultural experiment stations in the whole world, headed by one o f the greatest leaders in agricultural improvement, surrounded by a notable staff." "Dr. Coker viewed his alma mater as an experiment station for the de velopment of human resources and the dissemination of knowvledge. The progress of the University in ability to realize these worthy ends is large ly due to the advice and guidance of this great alumnus during his long and useful service on its Board of Trustees." Also speaking on the radio pro gram was Frank Wardlaw, head of 'the University news service who gave ~a few preliminary remarks about Dr. Coker, and George A. Buchanan, Jr., editor and publisher of the Colum bia Record who gave more details of his service to the state of South Carolina. He served as a trustee of the Uni versity until a few months ago, when ill health caused him to resign. He was a trustee also of Coker College. Honorary degrees bestowed upon him included a Doctorate of Science from Duke University in 1930, a Doctorate of Laws degree from the University of North Carolina in 1932, and later the College of Charles ton also awarded him an LL. D. in recognition of the value of his work, the University of South Carolina awarded him the McMaster Medal several years ago. Dr. Coker was twice married. His first wife, Mrs. Jessie Ruth Coker, died in 1913, leaving five children. In August, 1915, he married Mar garet May Roper, of the Department of Commerce. -7. ..

Bids Sought For Hardware Bids for new hardware for dormi tories and classroom buildings are now being called for, it was stated this week by J. A. Chase, dean of administration. Dean Chase out lined the University's program for improvements earlier this year. Among other improvements, much work is being done to the field house. The building is being equipped with a new and improved lighting system, Dean -Chase said, looking forward to the Southern Conference boxing tournament next season. Dean Chase also called attention to the fact that the old metal smokestacks, which have served the University's heating plant for more than fifteen years, have been taken down, and the new brick chimney, built 1"i'st summer, is being used. -Radio Continued From Page One versity faculty and two other South Carolinians whose interests are di rectly in line with the problem be ing considered.

The need for this was shown in the fact that the present chapel is hopelessly inadequate for student body use, and that numerous denomi national groups were futilely ask ing for accommodations which can not be supplied. Pointing out that the sum of $37, 500 appropriated by the legislature last year for repairs was insufficient, Dean Chase asked for a grant of $50,000 this' year. Even this amount, it was asserted, represents only one-fourth of the amount necessary to put the Univer sity physical plant in first class con dition. "Every attempt has been made to prepare this request in keeping with the financial ability of our state and with the willingness of our citizens to support the higher education of their children," Dean Chase added. Aiding in presenting the request were Hon. Edwin G. Seibels, chair man of the Board of Trustees, F. F. Welbourne, treasurer of the Uni versity, W. H-.
