In the cotton m ill not only was he solving the problem of funds for the ensuing year in college, but he was sacrificing an inborn senti ment. His nature called for the life of the out-ofdoors, for the green woods and the streams. .His aunt says he was passionately fond of music, of flowers and of beautiful scenery. But these he put aside, and forced himself .within the hot. walls of the mill that he might secure an education. His first move " upon entering the University was. to. secure a job. He sought. thel.ef-llep .Committee of tlie'faculty and was engaged as a waiter at University Inn. Thus he earned his daily bread. Hiss tuition was paid by a Cameron' Scholarship. His room was given' him free by a member of the faculty. He worked hard during-; his short stay in the University; and endeavored to take full advantage of'the opportu nity he had made) for himself.

Only by four years at college can one get those prin ciples of business honesty, broad view, and trained thinking so necessary to SUCCeSS. .:': V . J. Dr. Herty spoke on "The Other Things' in College Life". Studying and work are the main things, Dr. Her ty said,, but there are almost countless other things in college, all of which lead to the development of the all round man. Dr. Herty urged each man to get some definite idea of which one of the many phases of college life he wanted to take up. If a man would concentrate his mind, this 'other thing' would not interfere with the main busi ness of studying. Dr. Herty's final words were, "Be a mixer boys, bean all-round man, and college spirit will follow." To this excellent talk Mr. J. C. Lockhart responded. His sub- jeet was "Unity", on which topic he irave 1912 some straight talk. "Let the class be a unit," he said, let each find out what he can do, and then do it. Then we can meet fittingly the in creased powers anil responsibilites of the next two years".

Mr. Noble then announced his subject one that appeared to him he said the subject of Waists (applause), big waists and slim waists (prolonged applause). Al though Mr. Noiile seemed mildly dis tressed at the laughter his innocent words caused, he went straight ahead with his speech. As he spoke of some possible failures among the band, Billy Noble deeply impressed .everyone who heard him with the truth b.f his words. "Don't waste the things around you; watch and sec; don't waste your brains. The man who wins is the man who does. Carolina does well to fall into line.
