kinds," he'continued. "The first

or anything else that tends to
produce a continued tenseness.
The second kind is the predis

or any condition that makes it
easy for a mental sickness to de

The speaker said that 12 per

many beds as all other diseases
combined, more than twice as
many cases were to be found
outside of institutions. -

Arboretum Has Bright Prospects
For Adventures
Boggy Cow Pasture Reclaimed
in 1903; Is Now Most Inter

By Sarah Dalton '
The arboretum, which most of
the older students have come to
take as a matter of course, prob
ably one: of the most interesting
courses they are ' taking, still
holds great prospects as a realm
of adventure fori the new stu

The name itself, Coker Arbo

Coker must .have taken some
part in bringing about its exist
ence, but it does not reveal the
fact that he alone is responsible
for it. At the time when Dr.
Coker visualized his arboretum
the present site was no more
than a boggy pasture wherein
dwelled Gov. Swain's cows.
In 1903, however, undaunted
by the nature of its inhabitants,

Significance
The name arboretum signifies
a place where all trees capable

oi growing in tnat climate are
planted. Technically, this name
does not apply to our arboretum
because, due to the moisture
many native plants are unable to
survive there.
But this is not a
matter of great concern, for the

requisites. Juniors must rank in
the upper eight per cent of their
class scholastically, and seniors
