(USC "We Hail Thee, How /t Came T By CARROLL GILLIAM Of the thousands who have sung the "Alma Mater" over the years since its introduction, few know either its origin or its author. The first appearance of the present hymn in a college publi cation was in the November, 1911, issue of "The Carolinian" under the title of "Carolina, A Student Hymn" by Dr. Gerald A. Wau chope, while in the same year that magazine carried a poem "Caro lina, Our Alma Mater" M.A.S. According to Dr. H. C. Davis, an other was written by Dr. Reid Smith entitled "Here's to Thee," and another of Dr. Snowden set to the music of "Santa Lucia." Evi dently since 1912 the alma mater as we know it became popular. A contributor to many con temporary publications, Dr. Wau chope had a deep literary feeling. Once, during a visit to England, he penned a sonnet to William Wordsworth at the grave of that poet which was later found there by the caretaker. He also brought to Columbia a twig from a tree planted by John Milton from which a pen staff was fashioned. An interesting incident in his career occurred on a rainy and gloomy day in April. Dr. Wau chope was in charge of a pagcant celebrating the 350th anniversary of the birth of William Shake speare. Costumes were ordered which arrived at the station C.O.D. and the station master poetically answered a request for them: "I'll have my thousand guilders first." The costumes were left in the station while a hastily convened meeting of the faculty, after con sidering the ill effects of the weather on the attendance at the pageant, 'consented to cover the costs with a note..

Carolina "- And > Be Our Hymn dressed in the costumes and went about living advertisement. Fortunately by afternoon the sky was bright with sunlight and a perfect spring day had settled upon the campus. Needless to say the pageant was a financial suc cess to the relief of Dr. Wau chope and company. Dr. Wauchope and his wife, who lived in the residence now named in their honor believed in a personal relationship between the professor and the student. In those days the student body num bered only some five hundred stu dents and feeling of unity was encouraged by such entertain ments as the Halloween parties given by the Wauchopes.

Not Local Housewife Offers To Care For Vet's Child Can you imagine answering a telephone and hearing an unfa miliar feminine voice say that she wants a baby? Well, that's ex. actly what happened last week in the Gamecock office, and after listening to much sputtering and questioning from this end of the line, the lady finally explained that she just wanted to take care of a baby. "My name is Mrs. Johns," she said. "I am a veteran's wife and I have a little 10-month-old girl. I know that several mothers would like to accept employment if they could get someone to care for their children. There are probably such cases on the Uiniversity campus, and if there is a need, I am willing to help some veteran and his wife in this way."

Speaking on "Freedom of the Press," Mr. Lofton stated that as rar as news writing was concerned .ruth becomes falsehood unless it ias the strength of perspective.

"Freedom of the press does not nclude freedom to suppress part f the news," Lofton went on to say. "This freedom is the right Af the public, but the privilege of the newsman-a privilege that should not be abused." Johns and found her to be a petite, red-haired young woman.
