Alumni Comment Former Governor Richard Man ning Jefferies, '10, in his message to the General Assembly, January 12, 1943: "Even in times of grave na tional emergency when every en ergy is bent to preserve national safety it is necessary to keep edu cational problems clearly before our citizens and for all of us to realize that a free government cannot,long exist unless its citizens are educated. " . . . I am sure that during the war the general assembly will con tinue reasonable support for the state-owned colleges in order that they may be held together to pro vide the right type of education now to its children who can attend but above all to preserve and protect them for the enduring work which they will do when peace shall conic again." Governor Olin DeWitt Johnston, '23G, 24L, in his inaugural address as he was inducted into office for the second time, January 19, 1943: "Cunning foes, educated in their own sinister ways, are trying to undermine and destroy the very tenets of our democratic way of life. The great guardians of our democ racy are our schools, our teachers, and our educational leaders. Not only our safety, but also our pros perity, depends upon an enlightened and educated citizenship. "All of our institutions of higher learning have been greatly helped by having their plants enlarged by the State of South Carolina partici pating to its fullest extent with the federal government. We must not let these institutions be forgotten during the war, for immediately after the war they will be called up on to full capacity to care for stu dents." Orin Lang Hogan, Jr., '39A, '41L, now with U. S. Atlantic Fleet, Am phibious Force, Landing Craft Group, in a letter dated Dec. 17, 1942: "Thanks again for the copies of the Gamecock, which you have been sending me so regularly. I arrived in New York recently after a long voyage and as the result of reading one oi the Gamecocks that was waiting when I arrived in port I learned that my old friend Joab Dowling ('39A, '41L) was working there. We spent two days together and had a wonderful time talking about old times at Carolina. That was the first time we had been to gether since we were graduated. Mrs. W.
