The Greeks called their marines 'Eptbatac"
They were fighting board ships Of war
Rome also had its fighting aboard ship and
they were called classic rii-mtes." In Eng

The name of marines applied TO the Eng

Percy was made commander Of the whole force
But the duties of the men-at-arms became diff
ferent with the introduction of naval ordnance
and soon after that period the small arms men
were taken aboard ship, and they have been

What was true of the
recruit in the days OF
Cuba and Porto Ric1
is also characteristic
of the recruit Of to-
day, with the differ
ence that he asks for
service in China, and
considers Manila too

The desire to go ~

been the cause of the
increase in recruiting
in the marine service.

immediate cause of death, for ready

CLEMSON COLLEGE DlSBANDS.
The Students Go Home on Account OF the
Appearance OF Scarlet Fever.

Tho Clemson College students all left
for their homes last Monday morning,
the Immediate cause of tho diSbanding
of thccollege being the development Of
a case of scarlet fever in tho hospital.
The young man who has tho disease is
Cadet q. ID. Levy, Of Sumter. 1T has
been known for two weeks that there
were number Of cases at Ncwry. The
authorities at Clemson rcdoublcd their
rigid precautions, and it was thought by
establishing strict quarantine there
would be no danger of getting the dis
ease there. Dr. Rcdfcarn, the college
surgeon, watched closely every slight
indisposition and had any young man
who was even slightly unwcl to report
to tho hospital. How Mr.. Levy con-
tractcd the disease is not known. DR..
Rcdfearn decided OH Sunday that Mr..
Levy had scarlet fever. DR.. Hardin, a
prominent physician OF Washington, ID.
O., who is visiting his father, Col NJ. B.
Hardin, concurrcd in this opinion.
What to do was serious question. 1t
was thought to bo n serious matter to
disband;a more serious one not to. At
most institutions where the student body
is scattered it would not be necessary to
disband, but where there are 47G students
i'll one building, tho case is different.
Not to disband meant about 500 cases.
TO disband meant possibly only one
probably Il dozen. After careful consid-
Grafton of the matter, the authorities
decided to give the students leave of
absence until notified to report for duty.
1t was thought best to suspend immcdi-
atcly because the disease would spread
until it would have been necessary to
suspend little later anyway, when thorc
would be danger of spreading tho fcvcl
elsewhere.
The corps of cadets was assembled in
tho college chapel, and DR.. IIartzog OK
planned the existing conditions. DR..
Rcdfcarn gave advice as to what should
be done if any one developed case.
Since tho Christmas holidays arc so near,
not moro than two or three weeks work
will be lost. During this vacation the
barracks will be fumigatcd and every
means of contagion removed.
