Receives Rare
Giant Fungus
g'The department of biology at the
university has recovered a speci
men of hedgehog mushroom which
measures almost a foot in width
and a foot and a half in length,
Dr. W. E. Hloy, head of the de
partment, has announced.
The giant fungus, whose scienti
fic name is "Hericium erinaceus,"
was presentedi to the department
by Mrs. W. S. Parrish, a teacher
in Cayce grammer school. It was
brought to school by one of her
pupils, as part of a class story
of various kinds of plants
The specimen is the largest one
thus far recordied by the univer
aity. It grows on both living andl
dead trees. Instead of the flat,
plate-like gills of the typical
mushroom or toadstool, hericium
has long, fleshy "teeth." This
spiny appearance led to the com
mon name of hedgehog mushroom.

Crow Speaks
At Meeting of
PhiBetaKappa
Dr. Orin F. Crow, dean of fac
ulty, urged a greater emphasis on
basic research in the arts and
sciences at an anniversary observ
,Ance of the founding of Phi Beta
Kappa sponsored by the university
chapter of the national scholastic
fraternity.
University students with out
standing academic records attendeu
as special guests of the chapter.
Dr. Crow said that research must
precede every progressive step.
"Almost half a century elapsed
between the discovery by Einstein
of certain fundamental physical
principles and their application in
the development of the atomic
bomb," Dr. Crow stated.
Dr. Irene Dillard Elliott, presi
(lent of the university chapter of
Phi Beta Kappa, called for a state
wide campaign "to discover, recog
nize, and promote scholarship in
every possible way. South Carolina
is moving forward in the economic
sphere and is now in a position
to consider doing for its gifted
children what is being done for
normal and handicapped children,"
she said.
"Only the free mind can learn
with success," Dr. Crow stated.
"Today we have two kinds of
bigotry, the bigotry of tradition
and the bigotry of novelty. In one
instance there is adherence to an
idea because it is traditional, and
in the other case, adherence be
cause it is new. We should seek
a golden mean between these two
extremes.
"There is a necessary conflict
between happiness and intellectual
pursuits. The founders of Phi Beta
Kappa, who gathered this night
177 years ago in Raleigh Tavern
near the campus of William and
Mary College, were a convivial lot.
I wish to enter a plea for the
humanizing of knowledge. To do
this we must first humanize the
scholar. We must give .him a
status, and we must recognize his
economic contributions as well as
his personal value to out cultural
worth. Schools and the means of
education are beyond price in the
development of civilization," he
conc.luded.

Playhouse were speakei from
Furman and Carolina. Immediately i
after registration, the visiting I

comed on behalf of the university
by Mr. W. H. Ward, Director of
the Extension Division, and Alton
Brown, president of the University
Players, acted as student repre
sentative in greeting the visitors.
- Participants in the workshop
program were Dr. Dorothy Richey
of -Furman's Department of
Speech, who lectured on "How to
