Dr. Babcock Trades Law For English By FRANCES TUTTLE When students Deg to get into a class, that really speaks highly of a course and its professor. That is the case as semester after se menter Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the English department, has to limit the number of students in his "I Want a Word" classes. Dr. Babcock has been at Caro lina for 20 years. A Virginian by birth, he says there is no finer place for a Virginian to live than South Carolina. He was studying law when asked to teach English at William and Mary college. He desired to be a criminal lawyer or a surgeon, but these desires have been more than compensated for in his fame as a writer. Dr. Babcock is not only a pro fessor, but also an educator. He is highly interested in a better uni versity. He was instrumental in getting paved walks on the cam pus, and his initials are found in one of the walks. This may be thoaght strange, considering the fact that he prefers to walk on the ground whenever possible. This year he planned the carol ing at Christmas and made ar rangements to have oranges dis tributed to the needy children in Columbia. His humanitarian in terests go beyond the university. He and a group of men have stocked a lake in wvhich only boys will be allowved to fish. -Kappa Alpha Holds Annual Convention For Actives, Alumni Kappa Alpha actives and alumni met in their annual convention Wednesday, February 3, in the Crystal room of the-Columbia hotel.

First Chapel' Is Outgrown By Students By MARY DENNY University Chapel was the first >uilding planned in' the establish. ment of the South Carolina Col. lege. It was to be the center of a .wo-winged dormitory called Rut Icdge College. This building was the first to be completed and was used at the opening in 1805. In 1855 a new chapel wias corn fleted. Dr. Thornwell preached in it for the first time and found it badly constructed for the trans. mission of sound. In fact, it re echoed. The old chapel had to be resorted to in spite of its small. ness. Even today an auditorium to accommodate a fair-sized audience is missing. The new chapel was remodeled into a gymnasium. Then in 1865 the old chapel burned and was re built that same year. From the close of 1865 to 1868 the house of representatives sat there. When the students enlisted in the Confederate service, the gymnas iun, then called College Hall, be came part of a military hospital. The first recorded case of dis cipling resulted in dismissal for bad behavior in the chapel. Strict regulations were imposed upon the students regarding daily prayers held in the chapel. On week days they were required to rise as early as five o'clock in the morning while Sundays gave them an hour's grace. Evening prayers were held at five. Gradually these limitations were lifted until today students optionally attend services held there every Sunday evenings Last spring, a rheostat for dim ming and brightening the lighting system was added to the chapel. Recently chimes were installed by the "Y." They are played every Sunday for a quarter hour before vespers.
