Rather than being the abusers of the Literary Societies, the Game cock was, in those days the child of the Literary Societies. We found learned discourses on the protective tariff, and the necessity for the 'solid South'. But our grand-dad dies had their lighter sides too. Viz. the following poem under the rather inapt title "Foolishness." "The melancholy days have come. The saddest of the year; A little hot for whiskey straight, A little cold for beer." In attempting to conjure up a picture of Carolina life from 1908 to 1917 we finally hit on that of a titanic struggle between a gallant Carolina football team, battling bravely but valiantly against a heavier and luckier foe, with leather-lunged Clariosophs and Euphradians waging an equally ti tanic struggle between the halves. Meanwhile off in dim, remote parts of the campus less husky students were composing by candlelight things like, "Mid pleasures and palaces Though me may roam, When the stomach is empty There's no place like home." Incidentally, some of our present Navy gripers may be interested in this 1914 mess hall comment; "None but the brave can stand the fare." Evidently the greatest event in the decade on which we are dwell ing was the 1912 Clemson-Carolina football game won by the powerful Gamecock eleven 22-0. Something akin to hysteria swept through the campus and evidently through the Gamecock staff, for they came out with an eight page issue which con tained exactly two stories not about football. One was on baseball, the other, track. The issue contained five cartoons, thren articles on the game, two on the immortals who won it, and a review of the season. It was the only issue we have noticed that did not contain a list of "The Sick or Near Sick" or the doings of the Literary Societies. IThe editorial columns of this Iperiod were filled with editorials on school spirit, and terse one-line comments suchi as, "Alford's Buick is certainly a blessing", "What hap pened to all those beautiful mus taches of last spring". "Get in there and fight, Gamecocks!" or "The name of 'Frowsy' has of late be come unpopular. It has been re placed by that of 'Angel Face'. What strange twists these nick names will take!" The 1914 Gamecock had an envi able business staff. One of their issues contained not quite one and a half pages of news and two and a half pages of ads. The casual 1943 reader leave. with a general impression that those students twenty years before him~ really got their money's worth out of a $40 tuition, $18 fees, and $8a year room rent.

Phone 5017 D I THg CL ASSROOM SChuck N ROTC Acquire "Quaint" Hats By a V-12 Student (Obviously) It was quite a shock the other morn ing to walk out on the cool and lovely campus and see a iew hunch of Navy men on thiAr way to classes. "Egad," we muttered, "this Navy business is getting out of hand." We got quite a bit of enjoyment from this groep however. They had on rather quaint looking sailor hats with a blue hand around the top. Probably what made them look quaint was the ap pearance that most of the hats had just been dumped where they now reposed by a playful zephyr. None of them looked as though they really bclonged. Thus we, considerahly surprised to learn that the wearers of these blue caps were the ROTC men. \We hardly recognized our friends among them, shorn of their dignity and of ficer's caps. We had always been simewhat in awe of that thin little hand of gold. but now we realized that there was really nothing so awe 'me about the ROTC. as a matter of fact some of then looked decidedly innnv. While the V-12's had been gainiing proliciency in the intricacies of putting the proper corners on sailor hats and setting them at the proper jaunty angle, ti.- ROTC's had been lazily dumping the;- still caps -In their heads, and the latter's inex perience showed rather badly. It looks as thoutgh the last laugh will go to the ROTC. nevertheless. We understand that they are being '-ned rcplendent khaki's that will ea-ily restttre them to their former pi,ition ot campuls glaimio'ir os, if they ever get a chance to ncar them. Ih m ecr, until Captain Needham ha a change of heart it looks as though ther will have to be content to strut their khaki's in front of their mirrors and roommates.

Fre quent visitors are genealogists who come in search of information such as that found in the Giessendanaer record which is a register of the birth, baptism, marriage, and death of All members of the parish of two Orangeburg ministers, kept be tween 1740 and 1760. This is the oldest register of its kind known to have been kept in any inland sec tion. Two single collections stand out as being the largest and most valu able; those of B. R. Tillman and of D. C. Heyward; the former being largely composed of the letters and manuscripts of Governor Tillman, and the latter containing the slave register of Governor Heyward's father. This is the record of the birth and death of every slave, clothes issued to each one, and also the amount of work expected of each. Also in this collection is the original manuscript of "The Seed of Madagascar". These collections however are not open to the public at present for obvious reasons, and will not be opened until after the death of the immediate families of the two. Probably one of the most valu able volumes in the library is Mark Katesby's "Natural History of Car olina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands", which was published in 1771.

This point seems to be characteristic of all the printing done in the early days; for example, there is a copy of Trot's Laws in the library which is the earliest bit of printing on record in South Carolina. It was published in 1738 and the red print is still very bright on paper which seems to be a'LAe to take the abuse of another two centuries.
