The men of the Second South Car olina regiment, now at-El Paso, feel keenly disappointed in not reciving orders to leave the border duty, which has evidently become irksome, in view of the recent departure of northern and western troops eor their home stations.

The men of the Second regi ment, while inclined to do their duty without undue bitterness, feel that it is only right that they should not be discriminated against, as many of them are fearful of business and fi nancial troubles upon their rturn. The following letter, dated Decem ber 19, has been received in Charles ton from one of the militiamen in El Paso, in which the statement is made that the boys of the Second deserve to be sent home, and their return should be ordered: "Well, once again we were keenly disappointed today when the publish ed orlers for the return of 16,000 troops failed to include any of the South Carolin units.

"We feet. greatly disappointed thi mornin at not being included in th 16,000, and. feel that we are not get ting a' square deal, for, with the ex ception -of the Pennsylvania guards men ho received orders this morning our South Carolina troops have beer on the border longer than any of th others sent home. .We had though that the policy of the war departmen was to send home troops as they wer( pronounced 'trained.' This was ap parently the course followed last sum mer. The Rhode Island cavalry wa; sent home after three months' train ing. The Massachusetts calalry war returned after three months, and va rious regiments of infantry were re turned after the three months' period "So when our three months was ui we began to look for orders and hav been looking in vain ever since. And apparently, we are mistaken in think ing that efficiency and seniority o service are the points .now considered in returning troops to their home sta tions. All of our units have been pro nounced 'fit' by regular officers time after time. And we have completed our full course of traveling: drills rifle range, hike, maneuvers and bor der patrol. The Second patrolled the border for two weeks and the cavalry had a five weeks' course in that ardu ous duty. "We all feel that we have sat tight long enough, and that now it is aboul time our people back home did some, thing towards procuring our return The boys for the most part have ab solutely lost interest in their work. "A square deal is all we desire Northern troops are sent home, and lately practically all of the western troops were returned to their hom< stations; and now as the senior south ern units here we feel that it is oui time to be sent home. We have al ready been in El Paso for foui months and one week, and that is far longer than most of the Northerr troops were kept in the service. "Many of us have lost our posi tions, our business and business op portunities. In the infantry the men as a rule, are younger, and many are students, but the members in the cav alry are mostly professional men farmers and in business for them. selves, and they have suffered heavily financially by their protracted period of service here.

C. e The University of South Carolina Is the only State University in the s outh that has no endowment. This institution, therefore, is entirely de - pendent on annual legislative appro - priations for maintenance and future - -.evelopment. There is never any dif , ficulty about ordinary maintenance t but development is necessarily slow, a as South Carolina is not a wealthy State and as the demands upon the S'agislature are numerous and insist ant. Such an institution as ours, therefore, must be partly dependent - upon its alumni if we are to keep pace with-the rapid strides of modern . igher education. There are five ordinary ways by which our alumni can contribute to the deve:opment of their Alma Mater: (1) By the establishment of an en :owment fund; (2) By the erection in.:iviclually or collectively of an dw.urni b.ilding on the campus; (3) 'y special donations for the embel ish:ment of the grounds and build n..s; (4) By supporting, in part, th.etics; (5) By gifts to the Alumni Loan Fun l. It is of the last that e shall speak in this article reserving comment on the others in subsequent contributions to your journal. The Alumni Loan Fund as created February 1904 to meet the needs of poor but worthy students of the Uni versity. During the eleven years of it activity (1904-1915) $30,000 have been lent to students. "The active part of the fund has been paid out four times and recollected three times," as we learn from the bulletin prepared by the very competent ad aninistrator, Professor F. W. Bradley. rhere are about fifty regular annual contributors. A few others have con tributed sporadically. The largest total contribution was $2,602.25 (in 1910) the smallest $31.50 (in 1912. As there are about 3000 living alumni it will be seen that the number of .ontributors is exceedingly snaI I. If the alumni averaged $5.00 apiece an nually the contributions to this fund would amount to $15,000 a year. As only $100 is ever loaned to any one applicant, this would mean that 150 young men and women would be en ibled annually to complete their edu 2ation in addition to those who had Already secured loans from the per .nanent fund. When these young peo .le graduate they naturally become :he warmest friends of the institution and the most generous contributors ;o the fund to which they owe their .igh educational training. But bet ter far the State is enriched by an increasingly large number -f highly educated citizens to aid in guiding her future career. It is said that Alexarder Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confeder acy, educated out of his private funds sixty young men most of hon rendered valuable service in' ifter life to the great commonwealth of Georgia. Surely there is no bene faction that reaps larger returns. than one that helps to fit men for a :areer of usefulness and (distinction in ife. The interest on such a fund is not to be measured in dlollars and :ents but in souls andl social service, the value of which is beyond comp lute. Personally I feel keenly the im portance of timely aid to the strug ler after the higher things of the intellect. My owvn father could not have gradluatedl in I1832 at the Uni .-ersity of South Carolina had it not been for the generosity of a wealthy gentleman in Southern South Caro-. .inai and an opplortune loan fr om the \i.i Fund of Washington andl Lee .nersity enabled the wvriter to comn '" his college cour~se. I feel it hen'y, therefore, when a young mnin -ce .ipelled to forego altogether the .iatage of college training because of lack of funds or for the samie rea son has to leave the University be fore hie gradluates. There are pa thietic cases of this kind every year, not to speak of the larger numiber who suffer in silence from the unful filled dlesire for a higher edlucation. In spite of these facts benefactors continue to build memorials and con tribute funds for the adlvaaceme~nt of various ediucational interests-all adl mirable objects of munificence in themselves ;but comparatively few have realizedl the implortance of mak ing men of character and education always the finest aassete of any com monwealth. By means of the Alumni Loan Fund which has beent in exist ence only twelve years, seven njnais ters, 49 teachers, 14 lawyers, six leg..I islators, 34 business nien, four mnag istrates, two doctors and three county superinteadents of education have been enabledI to compIleite their college careers. Two hundred andI thirteen have been aidied altogether and 20 are being helped this year. This is' P. fine showing and should encourage every alumnus to do all in his power to enlarge and perpetuate a fund that does so great a service to the Univer sIty and to the State. W.
