NOTES Of INTEREST
FROM CLEMSON COL[EGE
(By E. D. 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

. 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. '
