President McKissick YWCA-YMC Joint To Present Trustees Fiaca4Cmag With New Chapel PlansToBgnDc6 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Z676 Volume XXXVII, No. 10 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER 3, 1913 Founded 1908 YFin Capt. Clippa Building Of McKissick To Pr To Board Of Tr A proposal for the construction lina chapel after the war, financed l be presented to the Board of Trus J. Rion McKissick has announced. The proposal that Alumni and1 friends contribute war bonds now to finance eventual construction of the chapel was made by Capt. Ed win B. Clippard, adjunct professor of English, on leave of absence with the Army in the Pacific area. Captain Clippard enclosed a one hundred dollar war bond "as a pledge of my own faith in the plan." President McKissick expressed extreme gratification at Captain Clifford's suggestion and his gift, adding that he will present the plan to the Board of Trustees at its next neeting. At the last meeting of the board, President Mckissick outlined the need for a new chapel and sug gested that the University seek con tributions for the erection of such a structure as a memorial to Caro lina men who la-e lost i in all wars. Captain Clippard's letter to Presi dent McKissick follows: APO 958, c/o Postmaster San Francisco, Calif. 15 November 1943. Dr. J. Rion McKissick, President University of South Carolina Columbia, S. C. Dear Dr. McKissick: I have a proposal. For a long while, we have been talking about a new University chapel. The time has come for something'to be done about it. Long before I came into the serv ice an idea occurred to me which has grown with time and seems good enough to present to you. Let us start planning and working, not just for a Chapel, but for a CHAPEL OF YOUTH, a building which will glorify Christ through telling of the strength and beauty and joyousness of youth. I have in mind a Gothic struc ture, molded of native stone, with much window space devoted to de picting events of youth seeking, striving, finding and overcoming. Let "Christ ini the Temple" (not necessarily Hloffmann's interpreta tion) be the altar piece; and aroundl it andl from it let there stream a galaxy of high-souled youths set in glass that only the best artists of our world can prodluce. The Tes taments will quickly suggest more figures than can be effectively used. There must be the perfect balance between shadow and brilliance so that each student will carry the memory of the Chapel as a benedic tion and as a Grail. Time will not be of the essence; the structure will come, I am sure, when the Alumni and friends of the University are p)resented with the plan. And my plan is that dona tions be made in the form of War Bonds. Now is the ideal time; \Var Bonds must he bought; each dollar will do0 double service; we are all extremely anxious to end this war and to start building again; and people generally are more acutely aware of the value of Youth than when it is not an "expendable item." As a pledge of my own faith in the plan, I am enclosing a one hmun dred dollar Bond. May it act as a happy lodestone I The best wishes to you, the fac tilty' and the staff for a pleasant '& Christmas Season. Most respectfully yours, EDWIN R.
