SPIRITED PROGRAM
and L. J. Perry best on the nega
tive.
On Friday evening of last week
the most honorable members of
B. T. U. and some who were per
haps not so honorable, assembled
for the first time in their new
hall. A bountiful repast had been
collected to celebrate this event
that looms up large in the history
of this ancient organization. The
members partook very heartily of
pork and beans served in their
original tin containers. Their
various thirsts were thoroughly
quenched by that bright and
aparkiing as well as popular bev
erage, better known to most of
us heav}^ drinkers as “dope.” Then
came the course of bread and
honey. “Gee!” lone fellow ex
claimed, “this here honey am al
most as sweet as th“m there
West Dorm, girls are.” The
pecial appetite for the sweet
things cif life.
The last part of the the even
ing’s program consisted in the
Grand Council, held before the
open fire that sent its radiance
from, a large fireplace that oc
cupies one end of the hall. The
Union decided to confer the first
and second degrees upon the can
didates for these distinctive hon
ors at their next meeting. These
gentlemen will please note that
next meeting will take place Oc
tober 6 at midnight 40°52'33" east
of the Alumni building. Adjourn
ment was theri effected. Every
member was of the opinion that
the new hall will be of great as
sistance in helping the organiza
tion to carry out a more efficient
program of work for the year
1920-1921.

the Philadelphia Navy Yard. It

In Their Usual Way.
The Philogian Society met in
its regular session on Monday
evening, October 4. Two new
members were admitted and the
old goat had some spin. O. B.
Gorman welcomed the new men
to the Phi hall, and the president
followed with a few pointed re
marks.
Mr. H. G. Self opened the pro
gram with current events. He
treated the subject in a direct
manner, making it intensely in
teresting. This was'followed by
a declamation by W. W. Woody.
Immigration was discussed in a
praiseworthy style by Mr. S. R.
Murray. Mr. J. C. Cox gave an
interesting and instructive survey
of the products of South Carolina.
“My Experience as a Teacher”
was the subject of a talk by W. L.
Woody. Mr. Woody gave some
diverting incidents from the
school room. Mr. J. M. McAdams
sketched the life of Edgar Allen
Poe in an understanding fashion,
bringing out Poe’s life in several
phases. L. E. Fesmire entertain
ed the society with a good line of
humor. His jokes had a real kick
in them. R. V. Morris gave col
lege- cuts in a way that made a
great hit.
“Resolved, That Tobacco Grow
ing Should be Prohibited in the
U. S.,” was the query of a stir-
ing debate. S. M. Lynam, M. L.
Patrick and C. L. Walker defend
ed the affirmative, while C. M.
Miller, J. B. Newman and L. J.
Perry defended the negative. The
decision was awarded to the neg
ative. It was decided that H. G.
Self was best oratorically. C. L.
Walker best on the affirmative.
If all the land were washed
down into the ocean, the whole
world would be covered with wa
ter at least two miles deep. The
greatest ocean depth, almost six
miles, has been discovered near
the Ladrone Islands in the Pacific.
The warm waters of the tropics
seem to support a less abundant
life than the cold Polar seas. The
greater intermediate and deep
parts of the ocean are practically
unknown and our knowledge is
limited to the inhabitants of the
surface. Aquiculture is suscepti
ble of scientific treatment, as is
agriculture.—Professor Herdman,
professor of oceanography, Liver
pool University.
MacSwiney knows now how to
sympathize with the moth that
tries to live through the winter
on a 1920 bathing suit.—Nashville
Tennessean.
A gun-trap in a Kingston or
chard went off and shot a boy
who was stealing apples. Had this
gun-trap system prevailed years
ago, the world might have lost
some of its greatest men.—Mon
treal Star.
