Dr. Gaines Delivers Mi
Banquet Of South
In welcoming more than 200 n
Caroliniana society banquet Ap
tennial of the old library build
vealed that the building will b
ciety collections. M. L. Bonhai
Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines,
president of Washington and Lee
University, delivered the main ad
dress in which he referred to the
dedication of the library to its new
use as "a notable advance made by
my native state."
In this bank there will be stored
in safety the hard-won accumula
tions of our own people, their lega
cies of courage and enterprise,
achieved wisdom bequeathed to us
for our enjoyment and for our en
riching utilization."
Many Items Donated
Dr. R. L. Meriwether, secretary
treasurer of the society, stated in his
report that 6,500 items of South
Carolina were donated by members
in 1939. The total number of man
uscripts, pamphlets, books, etc. per
taining to South Carolina donated
in 1939 were 10,891.
During the banquet Dr. Patter
son Wardlaw, dean emeritus of the
University school of education, told
of his experiences as a youth when
he first visited the library.
Dr. McKissick in his welcome de
scribed the University of South
Caroliana society as "the most rep
resentative, the most distinguished
gathering that meets in South Car
olina each year."
The old library, which the Uni
versity board of trustees resolved to
be the permanent home of the South
Caroliniana collection, was the first
separate library building at any in
st-tution of learning in America. it
was erected when the University
was named South Carolina College.
The building has been used for
dances, banquets, and even for the
state senate from the close of 1865
to 1868.

Spring Brings
To Achiever
Poetic Fever
Baritone Battle's
Maiden Effort Makes
Gamecock Columns
Spring fever has definitely gone
to the head of at least one Carolina
lad. The chief symptom, poetry
composition. The would-be Long
fellow is none other than God's gift
to a glee club, George Battle, bari
tone. Tuesday p. m., in broad open
daylight young Battle walked into
The Gamecock office, blushed, stuck
out a paw which contained a dirty
slip of paper, turned around and
hotfooted out. The reason for the
sudden exit might be found in the
poem which follows.
We offer it here for the benefit
of poetry lovers.
Spring
Birds, bees, budding trees;
Cupid's darts, captured hearts
Bliss.
Nowhere care nor sorrow.

Fragrant flowers-golden hours!

Miss Brewster,
Explains Youth I
Here in the Southeast up to now
the only knowledge we have had
of the American Youth Hostel
movement is through reading an
occasional article in magazines such
as those recently published in Life
and American magazines.
But this week a welcome visitor
to our campus was attractive Miss
Mitsi Brewster, whose photo was
featured in the hostel article in
American magazine. Miss Brewster
is now organizing a hostel loop
around Atlanta and is seriously
thinking of organizing one in the
Piedmont section of South Caro
lina if enough interest is shown.
But just what is a Youth Hostel
anyway, and what are the purposes
of the movement? Answering the
last question first the purposes are
to give young Americans a chance
to see interesting and picturesque
parts of the country in a leisurely
manner, either hiking or biking, at
as small a cost as possible.

Campus Visitor,
lostel Movement
Youth Hostels are transformed
farms located about a day's hike
apart at which hostelers may spend
the night for 25c each, cook their
own meals, and have a good time
in general.
Though hostels have been estab
lished in the Western European
countries for over thirty years, the
movement in this country is com
paratively young. The first hostel
was organized in 1934 in North
field, Mass. Growth has been rapid
since then, there being 209 hostels
with over 11,000 passholders in this
country.
All Carolina students with an
urge for the open road and a long
ing to hit the hostel trail are asked
to get in touch with Dr. Ed Clip
pard of the English department, a
veteran hosteler who has vacationed
in Europe, in the American Rockies,
and elsewhere where hostel loops
have been established.
