Plowden) Clemson College, Nov. 7.-Last Tuesday afternoon Captain Henry W. Lee, of the military department and assistant commander of the corps of Cadets, was seriously injured in an automobile accident. Capt. Lee, ac companied by idessrs. Rudolph Logan, Wade Woodward, and F. R. Ryan was motoring to Anderson when, in an ef fort. to avoid striking a buggy, he skidded into a large tree by the road side. Capt. Lee was driving at about forty-five miles yi hour when h struck the tree and his large Hud son automobile was completely de molished. Captain Lee and Mr. Rudolph Logan were the only occu pants who were seriously injured. Mr. Logan was kept in the hospital a few days but is better now. Captain Lee had the misfortune of losing his eye. His right arm was broken and sev eral bones in his face were broken. The Corps of Cadets sent a large bunch of cut flowers to Capt. Lee every day since the accident. All the students deeply regret the accident and have expressed a sincere desire for the early recovery of their injured officer. Latest reports from the An derson Hospital, where Captain Lee is being treated, are to the effect that, although his cdndition is very serious, hopes are still entertained for his re covery. When called upon to contribute to the Near East Relief Fund, the Clem son student body responded nobly. Last week the student body unani mously voted to give ten per cent of Clemson's proceeds from the Clem son-Carolina football game for this work. This was a gift from the Cadet Corps to the starving people in the Near East and a very generous offering, too. It is hoped that other colleges and universities will follow Clemson's good example. If this is carried out by others, it is evident that funds for the Near East Relief will be materially increased. Editorial trom "The Spartanburg Herald" "Clemson College's decision to contribute one-tenth of its share of the gate receipts of the Carolina Clemson football game to the Near East Relief Fund suggests a means for greatly augmenting that fund in the South (luring the next few weeks. Should other colleges adopt the idea a substantial amount would be real ized for a worthy cause." It. is not to be doubted that the Clemson plan will be widely welcom ed. Our donation to the Near East Fund will be a real sacrifice and re cognized by the general public. On last Sunday afternoon Cadet J. E. I-lodge, president of the Clarendon County' Club, called a meeting of that organization for the purpose of get ting pictuires of the Clarendon Couinty boys for the 1923 A nnual. We now have seven Clarendon boys at Clem .con. They are: Cadet. JT. E. Hodge of Mannmng, R. F. D.1, of the Senior class; Cad"'t E. D). Plowden of Jordan, of the Ju:.ior class; Cadet J1. HI.

We decided to go to the beautiful Seneca river more than a mile .from the college, for the purpose ,of taking the club pictures. This we (lid and visited several other places of inter est near the college. We were all glad to get together and stroll around for the entire afternoon. Every mem ber of the club was greatly benefitted by this meeting. It brought to us memories of the days gone by when we were schoolmates back 'in dear old Clarendon. It helped us to realize that these days were gone and that we were now men here in this great manufacturing plant called Clemson College, where we were being ground and polished by skilled workmen call ed professors, preparatory to entering into the structure of that magnificent edifice called life.
