Well, off the record only one death occurred there this year-and that was a pet dog, Trixie, belonging to Mrs. Catherine Quinn, dietitian of the infirmary. A funeral was given him with Dr. Waddell acting as preacher. Plans are now being formulated to remodel the infirmary, making provisions for 50 more beds than rHe now available. The temporary annex will be torn down. An X-ray machine with fluoro scope attachment, a new dark room, and some binocular equipment have recently been bought to bring the equipment up to date. The X-ray machine, which costs $3,000, was paid for by an accumulation of stu dent funds over a period of years. The student surplus is turned back over to the state if not used. There is about $12,000 left after the pur chase of the X-ray equipment and this will be used to remodel the present building. Dr. Waddell reports that he averages taking from one to three X-ray pictures a day. These are mostly of boies. The machine does not make pictures of the lungs for tuberculosis diagnosis but students desiring these made are sent to the Richland County Health Depart ment at no cost to them. The infirmary handles all cases itself except surgical ones. If sur gical need arises, the infirmary pays the surgical and anesthetic fees and the student is responsible for the hospital fee. A nurse is on duty 24 hours a day. Routine m di cine is furnished but special medi cine is bought by the student -at wholesale prices. Patients are charged 50 cents per meal-fruit juices between meals are free. Meals are up to good health stan dards as the physician thinks that good food will sometimes do what medicine won't, and a loss on this end of the business is usually in curred by the infirmary. Laundry service is also free. A part of the infirmary's work The majority of folk. en gaged in the privately-owned, taa-paying, utility field make a career of providing adequate and dependable services avail able for their company's cus tomer.

Dr. Waddell reports that the number of in-patients a month averages 25 except during epi demics. Three years ago an influ enza epidemic brought in from 75 to 100 students and beds were placed in halls and dining room. The only epidemic this year has been one of cats-18 were captured over a period of two days, the cause of which is thought to have made its home there some ten years ago. Only three are left. The staff includes five nurses who are Miss S. Studemire, Miss A. L. Long, Miss S. B. Cash, Mrs. B. Spann, and Mrs. F. Lowe. Other staff members are Miss Z. Dimitri, technician, Mrs. Catherine Quinn, dietitian, and Dr.. H. G. Waddell, physician. A student assistant, Jack Woods, pre-medical major, helps the nurses. He rooms and boards at the infirmary. The present building was con structed in 1908. Prior to its con struction an old house on Main street was used. Mrs. Madden, oc cupant of the house, acted as doc tor, nurse, and performed all duties in general.

The name "Caroliniana," has its origin in the word "Carolina" and the suffix "ana," which means a collection of material related to a particular subject. Since the build ing is now devoted to the univer sity's collection of books, manu scripts, and pamphlets related to the history of South Carolina, the name "Caroliniana" is entirely appropriate. There still remains an unsolved mystery connected .with the Caro Y Nets $500 Fund; Will Serve Coffee Examination Week Y Camp Mr. Bell announced today that the Y made a profit of $500 on the "Redheads" basketball game, all of which has been spent on kitchen equipment for the Y camp. Mr. Bell also said that $10,000 more was needed for camp and that during registration a station in the treasurer's office will be opjen for pledges toward the Y fund to be paid. Marie Edwards Invited all stu dents to the Y Bible discussion groups beginning next semester. They will be led by Doris McClary and held in Flinn Hall. Freshman Council The Rev. William A. Thompson of the Trinity Episcopal Church spoke to the freshman Y council at the Luncheon on Monday. The Reverend Thompson, who is the city missionary for Columbia, spoke on girl-boy relationships. At this meeting it was also de cided to hold a reception in Flinni Hall for the new students on Fri day, Feb. 4. The campus is in vited to attend and greet them.

This is the mys tery of who planned the architec. ture for the beautiful building, the main part of which is practically identical with the library of con gress. The feat has repeatedly been ascribed to Robert Mills, the greatest of South Carolina archi tects, but no proof has ever been given and the university Ias never made such a claim. Tradition on the campus says that it was design ed by a committee of faculty mem bers, but the only accord support ing this tradition says that a fac ulty committee went to Washing ton to study the plan of the Library of Congress. Charles Beck was the contractor and at the completion of the build ing on May 6, 1840, the total cost was estimated at $28,494. In 1927, the fire proof wings were added, but the architecture of the new portions was done so well that very little difference can be detected between the old and the new. In May of 1939, the University Board of Trustees assigned the en tire building to the valuable collee tion of South Carolina books and in December of 1940 established it as South Caroliniana library with Professor R. L. Meriwether of the history department as director. There are about 20,000 valuable and rare books and pamphlets on South Carolina subjects or by South Carolinians in the library's collection. The newspaper collec tion numbers 3,000 volumes dating back to 1820. The manuscript hold ings amount to more than two mil lion pieces. There are also many interesting antiques in the possession of the South Caroliniana library, such as the Chippendale chair of state used by the last of the royal govern ment of the colony. The University of South Caro lina may be turving red with em barrassment over the appearance of some of its structures, but it can certainly feel a glow of pride when thinking of the South Caroliniana library.
