President McKissick 4 To Present Trustees - CAmpain With New Chapel Plans Bgin C.p6 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Z676 Volume XXXVII, No. 10 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CARAOIiNA, DECE MBER :3. iis oned10 Y in Capt. Clippa Building Of McKissick To Pr To Board Of Tr A proposal for the construction c lina chapel after the war, financed b be presented to the Board of Trusl J. Rion McKissick has announced. The proposal that Alumni and 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 wvar 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 meeting. At the last meeting of the hoard, 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 lo lina men who have lost their lives in all wars. Captain Clippard's letter to Presi dent McKissiek fol!o ws: APO 958, c/o Postmaster San Francisco, Calif. 15 November 1943. Dr. J. Rion McKissick, President University of South Carolina Columbia, S. C. r Dear Dr. McKissick: I htve 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. t Long before I came into the serv ice an idea occurred to me which t has grown with time and seems e good enough to present to you. Let I us start planning and working, not 1 just for a Chapel, but for a 1i CHAPEL OF YOUTH, a building which will glorify Christ through telling of the strength and beauty u and joyousness of youth. t I have in mind a Gothic struc- t ture, molded of native stone, with much windtow space devoted to de picting events of youth seeking, striving, finding and overcoming. t~ Let "Christ in the Temple" (not ' C neccessarily 1lloffmann's interpreta- ~ tion) be the altar piece; and around ,n it and from it let there stream a galaxy of high-souled youths set in p glass that only the best artists of ' our world can produce. The Tes taments will quickly suggest more I figures than can be effectively used. s1 There must be the perfect balance a between shadow and brilliance so tI that each student will carry the b memory of the Chapel as a benedic tion and as a Grail.F T1ime will not be of the essence; the structure will come, I am sure, when the Alu mni and friends of the University are presented with the plan. And my p)lan is that dona tions be made in the form of WVar Biondls. Now is the ideal time; War Bonds must be bought; each dollarj will do0 double service; we are all extremely anxious to end this wvar and to start building again; and peopile 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 hun dred dollar Bond. May it act as a happy lodestone I The best wishes to you, the fac ulty and the staff for a pleasant SChristmas Season. Most respectfully yours,. EDIN B.

"You are eligible, and you are in vitedl, to attend the conference. If it happens to be convenient for you to be present, certainly yon can travel to the meeting with a clear conscience, for the program will be devoted largely to the subject of mail for men in the armed forces andl that is regarded as second in importance only to the things the men in the service are consuming --food, gumns, munitions."
