Hundreds OF Miles from home These
Young Fellows Meet on a Common
Ground: They are all
CaroIinians.

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. l6-In the
heart OF New England. just over the
Charles from Boston, the classic old
town Of Cambridge clusters around
Harvard University. Here amid scene
rich in historical and literary asso-
%ciaticn, in the shadow of buildings
hoary with age and ripe in traditions,
gather from year to year nearly
IS, 900 students. From every State in
the Union they come and MANY from
foreign lands. and are jumbled to-
gether into one mighty knowledge
pursuing mass of manhood. Here as
elsewhere men having q common tie
soon seek each other. and so there
are organizations and clubs galore
social clubs, literary clubs, debating
societies.. law clubs, State clubs, and
many other clubs Of many other kinds.
But of them all none are bound to-
gether by a stronger tie than that
which binds the men from the two
Carolinas into a Carolina Club at Har-
ward.
4 more hearty, enthusiastic patri-
otic gathering Of sons loyal to their
Mother States, than that which met in
No. 304 Carnagie Hall on November
second would be hard to find. 1t was
the first meeting of the year. Hun
dreds of miles from home, these young
fellows met on a common ground;
they were all Carolinians. A stranger
dropping among them ".ould not have
realized that he was in staid old New
England, for their minds ind hearts
and tongues We're all intent on things
down home" Nearly all of them
graduates of Southern Colleges. they
naturally turned to those good old
days Of College life-oT ball games be
tween rival colleges and especially of
some great Thanksgiving game in
which Carolina had wallopei Virginia.
Another striking illustration of the
spirit that prevails among the Caro-
linians at Harvard which is fOrcibly
brought out at their meetings is the
interest in the future Of the South, es-
pecially the Carolinas. These fellows
are talking about what they intend to
do when they go back home, for they
are all going back. In a few more
years, there will not only be a Caro-
lima Club at Harvard, but there will
also be a Harvard Club in Carolina.
The meeting OF November the sec
ond was the first business meeting of
the year. and the following officers

The Carolina Club Eas never been
so large. nor has such a hearty. fra
ternal spirit prevailed among its mem
bers as at present. 1t may and does
justly claim to be one of the strongest
State clubs at Harvard.
1t is hoped that the Federation of
Southern Clubs may again have such
a great occasion as it had last spring.
when Ex-Governor Montague. of Nir-
ginia. delivered an address under its
auspices. The Carolina Club in an
ticipation of such an event appointed
Messrs. j. r. McIIissic and b. w. Par
ham to cooperate With committees
from other clubs in bringing it baout.
