The regular routine of class work
ami study was dispersed with yester
day at Ooker Ocdlego that the faculty
h rul students might have the entire day
to, pay tribute to the -memory of the
founder and benefactor of the- College.
?Since Major C*>kerV? death It had been
tho custom to bring back On this oc
casion some -pergonal friend of his.
This year the college was particularly
fortunate in having Mr Joel I Allen, of
Dillon, who has heen a friend and co?
*Y>rker of Major Coker's wince the con
ception of the Welsh Neck High School*
Mr Allen spoke with earnestness and
restraint of hi** association with Ma
jor Ooker. He told of his profound
i mproKsinn of the greatness of the man
when he f54r?t mot him and of his keen
admiration for him as he grew to know
him better and saw at a closer range
his generous diaporsltlon, his modesty,
and sincerity. Mr Allen said as Ma
jor Ooker unfolded his plana llor a1
school here In. HartsvlHe he ma hilled
at the breflth at his view amd _hto In
sight into the educational condition*
existing at that time in this section J
of the state. The delight thai. the kind
(benefactor took In the pUint was
review**! briefly ami his growing ln
ifcer&t as he saw the old high school
become the new college. The speaker
paid tribute to those who had. helped
Major Ooker in his noble enterprise,
knowing how dearly he cherished these
friends and how he would wish men- ]
tion made of their Inspiring, and sym
pathetic interest. The chaipel service
had heen opened with the singing of
the beautiful college sopg Alma Mater
and closed with the singing of a hymn.
After the chapofl service it has been
the custom for the students and faculty
to place flowers on Major Coker's
?rave. The student procession this
year was led by Miss Willie '* Bell
Mac-key, of Camden, of the" senior class,
iteturnlng from tbe cemetery the pro
cession was led through the ' beautiful
garden of the old Coker home where
Major Ooker h?<l delighted to have
the college girls linger 'a-ijd where they
have always gone on this day to honor
his memory.
At It :30 o'clock the basketball gam?>
was played which was to decide what
cftftss would poetess this year the right
to held the D R Coker cup. At six
o'clock twenty -Hive members -of the
Ilartsville Chapter of the Alumtyatf As
sociation and a* number of other
friends of the College were guests at
dinner. ' Among the guests was I>r
Sparks W Melton, of Virginia, who
was the speaker of the evening. Tli^
college flamMy was surprised and de
lighted with a beautiful riilver service
presented by Miss Josephine Erwin,
President of tlie Hartsvlile Chapter, as
a gift from this chapiter to tlie College,
and received in behalf of tlie College
by Dr Bikes. Tlie dinner was given
under the auspices of the Executive
, Board of tlie jJtmtent SelMJovernment
Assoc hit ion, and the members present
ed in action a little comedy-with-a
moral portraying some of the trials of
the board. Miss- .Louise W a twn , of
Greenwood, president of the Senior
Class, impersonating the executive
board showed real ability in acting.
Dr Hikes called on the captain of
the senior bas&et-liall team, Miss Jen
. nie Lee Dew, of Latta, S. C., to come
forward -to receive the D R Coker cup
which the senior class had won in the
morning game.
At 8.30 the student body clad in
white marched into the chapel to listen
to the address by Dr Melton. After
ringing the Alma Mater, Mr Hall,
director of music, rendered a beautiful
?election* on the organ. Dr Sikes with
a few gracious words of welcome pre
sented Dr Melton as a friend he had
long desired to bring to the college.
The audience although led to erpect
much was not disappointed. The mew
sago presented in a most earnest and
inspiring manner a possible solution
for the political and social (problem of
today in the future development of
our spiritual lives. The speaker
showed that the tragedy that came to
our American homes because some- of
the loved ones sleep on Flanders Field
was not the only tragedy of the great
war. The political and economic
situation of the time was itself tragic
in the effect it had on the still living
young men and y<?ung women whose
early manhood and womanhood came
under such abnormal conditions. Vari
