Lip.,comb, head of the chemistry department; Dr. J. W. Dawis, of the chemistry depart ment; Dean S. M. Derrick of the School of Business Administration; and Dean W. H. Callcott of the graduate school. Guests included outstanding stu dents of the university and of the high schools in the Columbia area. The annual public meeting is held to encourage scholarship among university and high school students. Jeter said that one reason that scholarship has been made unat tractive is that "the pay scale for brains hasn't been high enough." Another reason, he said, is that the scholar has been caricatured and ridiculed by "dumbbells" in order to rationalize their own in ability. The speaker told the story of a young French nobleman, Jean Marie de Dondorcet, who, though coming to ruin and finally death, left a' manuscript describing the liberation of science from the shackles of superstition and ex pressing the belief that after 100 years of free education and liber ated knowledge, all the social prob bems of his time would have been solved; and that out of the French revolution wvould conme tremendous goodl for all mankind. "Never has courage been more manifest than in this Swan Song of Condorcet, who sawv in the in strument of his personal destruc tion the instrument for the re building of a better world," Jeter said. "It seems to me," he added, "that same spirit has been evi denced times without number by the young people of our own land. They have found in the turmoil of the war . . . in the instrument of their own destruction the instru ment for the building of a better world. I have heard a lot of gloomy prophecy in recent years about how the advent of the atomic bomb heralded a return to the dark ages, of how there will be an eclipse of civilization, but some how or other I can't believe it-so long as we keep the books and read the books that record the progress of the human race. Let us forget the books, let there be a blackout of literature, in the turmoil and the problem of this post-war world, and there is no catastrophe too dire to befall us." Jeter offered this advice: "There's a great happiness in be ing a student-keep on trying; get all the formal education you can, but study whether you get much CO6BURE The Business Men Choice at Quality ali Original Try One of Our And You'll Be 1317 SU1N Nae Door to t a MC XuP mO Cnc inni News' in of the Carolina Alumni Associa d by the American Alumni Council ot the financial needs of the uni by Ralph Lewis, alumni secretary "the council's national director of i Kappas That s To Be Based lect And Faith insurance executive, told the of Phi Beta Kappa and as "If there be any hope for this a used on men and women of iversity's School of Education, ided.

MIrs. Keith's survey of eating habits and subsequent corrective measures are outlined in a report to Mrs. Louise P. C'le, head of the university's department of homemaking, and former instrue tor of Mrs. Keith. Mrs. Keith's program is being conducted with the co-operation of the school lunchroom and the teachers of all grades above the second. She launched her program with a survey of the eating habits of the students. The survey dis closed that only 18.5 per cent had a fair diet; and 41.7 per cent had an outright poor one. These fig ures compare with a national av erage of 38 per cent with a good diet. The nutrition and health pro gram includes planned menus, class discussions of food values, recording child participation, regu lar weighing of pupils and hot lunches in the school. Although the program has been under way scarcely two months, gratifying results already are be ing observed, Mrs. Keith reported. Every participating child has gained weight; one reported that her mother now gets the children up to eat breakfast with her; three have had tonsils removed; and other defects have been corrected. A further check on results is planned near the end of the school year. Emphasizing the importance of educating South Carolinians to the value of correct eating habits, Mrs. Cole cited a btudy made sometime ago by Dr. Julian P. Price of Flor ence which disclosed that 19 per cent of the patients of a represen tative group of doctors in the state showed evidence of malnutrition. Taking this group as a fair cross section of the state's population, one out of every five patients who consult a physician is underfed, scientifically speaking. ifs the nlew FOTO-RIL Fn.LE .F ...
