Dispensary Beats Druggist Average Filled Prescriptions Reach 5200 In 1940 The student health dispensary is doing a big business-bigger in fact, than the average American drug store. During the school year i: 40, the dispensary, a part of the pharmacy school, filled 5,200 pre scriptions as compared with an av erage of 41,593 for the drug storcs of the nation in the year 193. Professor Robert XV. Morrison, registered pharmacist anI director of the dispensary, said that it served the double purpose of supplying me(licine for the infirmary and giv ing pharmn acy studets the practical eperience they need. Only seniors Nare allowed to work there; howvever, vand a registered piharmacist is al ways in charge. Professor Morrison said the dis pensary also supplies all lininents, antiseptics, and( other medical prep arations to the univer-sity athletic association at a price nmech cheaper than could be obtained e sewhere. Since 1937, the dlispens-ary has practically doubled its work each year. Figures obtained for the p)eriod of September 15, 1940 to February 25, 19P41 indhicate that the increase will continue.

Brown, chairman of the English (cpartmctnt of Duke University an niouncing scholarships to students of the University of South Carolina as well as other southern institutions.

Stipend of $Soo is offered, less $:too tuition fee. No teaching duties are required. Awards will be made on the basis of scholastic record, intellectual and personal considerations for careers in scholarship. Students are expect ed to continue their work for three years. Renewal of tenure after the first year of graduate study at Johns Hopkins university will be depen dent on maintenance of high stan dard of work. Since the founder of Johns Hop kins refrained from prescribing the course of study to be included in its program, the trustees and faculty are free to undertake experiments unique in America. Emphasis is laid on graduate study and research. Attempts are mae(l to adopt the best practice- of the European universities to the Ieeds of a democratic society. In addition to the new scholar ships, two Johnston awards with stiPlends of $1,500 each for post docterate study and research in any depart Ment of the university are oflered.

AfRRO0/ Group State Are Bought i Carolina Room And Current Problems; tanding State Figures y LoUis Carolina have been purchased trolina room. They are, "South ries, and "Through the Years e Theus Obear. "South Carolina" traces the his tory of the Palmetto State, with all its contradictions and charm, to the problems of the present day. The Up country and the Low-country and the more recently developed central section around the capitol is de scribed. Calhoun, Robert Hayne, William Gilmore Simms, Andrew Jackson, Moses Lindo, "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, and, more recently, Julia Peterkin, Hervey Allen and other interesting South Carolinians -vital figures in the State's history -are integrated into the story. "Through the Years in Old V Winnsboro" was written by Kath crine Theus Obear, who came to Vinnsboro in 1855, a child of three. Her father was a New England Episcopal minister who came to South Carolina for his health. He was also a teacher, as was his wife, his sister-in-law, and his daughter Katherine. Miss Obear's book proved that she is keenly alive to the problems of today. She writes with charm, vigor, and conversational intimacy. She loves interesting places and in teresting people, good books, dogs and cats. The book is not filled with or dered statistics, or academic con clusion, but is the story of Winns boro and her people. It is as South ern as the "cotton boll" and as American as a family reunion. It has been largely from the small town that we have derived those combined qualities which we call the American way of life. y Mon. Tues.
