The 1940 report of the Society showed that there was a total mem bership of 240, an increase of 19 over the previous year. During 1940, receipts from dues and additional contributions for the year were $588,000. With this amount, the University has bought 122 South Carolina items. The outstanding acquisition in this list is the church register of the two Orangeburg ministers, John Ulrick Geissendanner and John Geissendanner, covering the years 1737-1760. This record, beginning with the first days of the settlement of the Orangeburg community and writ ten partly in German, partly in English is one of the most valuable manuscripts in the state. It has been published, but no printed version can serve the pur pose of the original nor (1o justice to it. Another purchase of unusual interest made with dues oi mei bers is the set of four plantation books of Dr. Isaac R. Motte show ing the daily task of each slave for the years 1850, 1854, 1856. All the items thus purchased with dues of members have been marked with their names. Some of the collections of the Society date back as far as 1703. The list of 1941 acquisitions is not available for publication until after the meeting of the society when the members will be informed of them. Last year the speaker at the an nual meeting wvas E.

Missionary Speaks To YMCA And YW Miss Catherine Smith, young mis 4ionary who appeared at several neetings on the University campus last week, spoke at the general mneeting of the Young Women's Christian association Thursday in the lobby of~ Wade Hampton Col lege. She also addressed a joint YW and YM luncheon. Miss Smith was graduated from Dhio Wesleyan college in 1940. The ncxt year, she was sent to Japan to teach in a missionary school for girls. Most of her talk was devoted to her experiences there and im pressions of Japan. About her Japanese students, she said, "I was impressed by two things about them-their eagerness for education and their versatility. Nobody ever cuts class unless lhe's on his deathbed." She criticized the general hatred >f the Japanese in this country, say ing, "In America we know only one side of culture, and we're so con vincedl of its superiority, we don't ipprcciatc any other." "The majority of Japanese do not want this war," she went on, "just is the majority of Americans do not want it." The slowness of the people in Ja pan bothered her for a while, she said, "but I soon camne to realize hat, in an industrious man, slowness lives a quality to the work and nakes each day more worthwhile." Miss Smith went on to say that he student volunteer movement, of which she is a member, is part of lhe YMCA and YWCA. "Two ele nents are involved in it," she said, 'world fellowship and missionary vork abroad." A missionary is >oorly fed and clothed, she contin ted, but "fellowvship compensates or food and clothing." r RAIN ING 'ONE, PARTICULARLY AND WOMEN PECIAL CLASSES ;iness CoIliege -: Telephone 5951 WM.

J. Ulmer wanted to know upon being awakened by someone opening his room door by means of a coat hanger. Carlyle Holladay should have been in bed, but he wasn't. No, it seems that the somnambulist, who resides in Preston, had got ten out of bed, opened his room door and gone out into the hall. At least that is where he found himself upon awakening. "Where am I? That's strange, how did I get out here? How am I to get back into the room? I don't want to wake Ulmer. He never would understand." Borrowing a coat hanger from Mitchell Palles and Warren Leitner, -he set to work on the door, finally opened it. ,Now to return the hanger, then to the room again, and to bed. But there trouble broke out anew. As Holladay was tread ing the homeward path, sleep again overtook him. Meanwhile mystified Ulmer watched his roommate stumble over a nearby chair, circle the bed, and crawl in from the back. "That's a funny way to get in bed. Wonder what he has been doing?" mused A. J. "Hmmm." Say Holladay, What's wrong with you?" But the only answer was a loud snore. 6oker Says Clean Cc Soost Student Moral 'larios Propose New Constitution The Clariosophic Literary society wung full force into the first read ng of a newly proposed constitu ion Tuesday night.

Impus Will Help To le And Save Money Urges Students Not To T arl ow a upu ro. auUdUU "Students can boost morale by helping to keep the campus clean," Prof. E. C. Coker, chairman of the faculty committec on grounds and gardens, said yesterday. Not only will it result in a bet ter attitude toward the University, but it will release sonme of the money spent for upkeep of the campus for more imlpor tant wax need1s, he points out.
