Bradley Tells
Of Offer From
Steamship Lines
Inquiry concerning the availability
of five-piece undergraduate college
orchestras for bookings with several
steamship companies next sumner
have been made to Dean F. W. Brad
ley this week.
Several years ago such an orchestra
from the University made a trip to
Europe. It is possible that another
such group may be chosen from the
University for employment next sum
mer.
"Inasmuch as the number of sailings
to which these student orchestral
groups may be assigned is limited
and the steamship lines plan to com
plete their schedules as early as pos
sible, it is advisable that the leaders
of all qualified groups shall advise
me promptly of their definite interest
and availability, together with other
pertinent details requested in the
enclosed sheet," the letter to Dean
Bradley stated.
Full details may be secured from
Deat Bradley's office by anyone in
terested in such a proposition.

Historian Pleased
With Columbia
"Yes, I believe 11 ltfing people do
their own way, and besir!es I like the
expression "y'all"; in fact I use it
myself when I get a chance." That's
what Charles Austin Beard, national
ly known historian of New Milford,
Conn.. said about this southern expres
sloin in an interview giveii last Wed
nesday evening at the Columbia -o
!c, where he and Mrs. Beard are stay
ing this month.
Beard has visited South Carolina
before, but this is his first stop in
the capital city, and lie is very pleased
with the idea of a month's stay here,
away from the cold winds of the
North, the loud noises of big cities,
a constantly jangling telephone. And
about newspapers, lie thinks both the
State and the Record are fine papers;
it doesn't take a whole week to read
an issue like it does the New York
Times and those other big papers.
But there was one thing this elder
ly gentlemen could not understand
about the State: "Why does it al
ways make 'digs' at women, such as
how they are susceptible to flattery,
and how fuss)' they are about their
clothes? Don't we all like for people
to say nice things to us, we men, es
pecially? Say," Beard asked. "do you
suppose the fellow who writes those
'digs' has been walked out on by some
young lady, and is trying to get
even
Before questions could be fired at
him, Beard said lie would rather give
his reason for being in Columbia by
.ilustrating with a story It was at
an open meeting in Edinborough,
Scotland, and everybody that wanted
to could get up and make a speech,
but all the speakers were heckled, no
body listened. Beard asked a near
by Scotchman what the trouble was;
"Weell, I'll tell ye." said he, "Everry
body comes here to teach and no
body comies to learn." But that's not
the way with Beard: He came to Co
lumbia to learn and not to teach;
maybe when he gets to be 93. he'll do
like Oliver W. Holmes said he did,
"just kind of lose interest in improv
ing his mind."
Beard's people are from North
Carolina and he said he still wanted to
know why South Carolinians and
Virginians looked upon North Caro
lina as a "valley of humiliation be
tween two peaks of insulence." As
a parting note lie said he had also
visited Charleston and lie, too, saw
the people there really thotight there
were 48 states And Charleston!!
--c. S. C.
The speaker of the evening will
h)e D)r. William Weston who will
lead a dlisculssion on the subject of
"Adv~ances made in the Chemistry
of Foods."
Students and other visitors are in
v'ited to attend the meeting.
