ing. In 1917ln nearly one-sixth OF
the students were women. The grow.
ing popularity Of the university
courses with the citizens Of Columbia
is especially noticeable. In 1914 a
home for girls was begun on Marion
Street and continued on the corner
OF College and Pickens till 1918. Last
June the board took decided step
forward when they assigned to tho
women the western wing Of DeSaus.

Miss C.. j. Sullivan and Mrs. NJ. l..

LII. B. by the university. the first wo-
men in South Carolina TO receive this
degree. The legislature Of 1918 allow

So the year 1913 was epocha in tho
history Of womaf,hood in the urivor.

women lawyers will become greater

building. will be finished by The open

the most complete and attractive class
room buildings in the state.
Under the direction Of the new
school Of Applied Science various bus
mess courses will be offered. such as
bookkeeping, accounting, stenography,
typewriting. mechanical drawing and
kindred subjects. These will provo
most attractive to women when so
many avenues Of business opportur-
ity are opening to them. Notwithstand-
tions the majority OF women will in
the future, as in the past, turn In
stinctively to teaching. Nowhere in
the state are there better pedagogical
opportunities than at the university
whose school of education. under the
wise guidance Of Dean Patterson
Wardlaw, has long held a deserved.

A Call to Sacrifice.


"The call for mon on ths Western
battle front Is imperative and can not
be ignored by cur people" said Gov.
ernor Manning III speaking Of the war.
Governor Manning has just returned
to the city from Northern points ana
has had opportunity during his alb
sence to confer with officials who are
intimately acquainted with the situa,
tion in Europe
"Our people should be prepared no
regard should be taken Of personal
convenience; we must subordinate our
own ambitions and desires and hopes
to the call Of our government. Men
are needed not only on the Western
front but in Russia. and the Russian
situation will be dealt with before
Germany will be in mood to discuss
peace. All the resources in the shape
Of men and munitions and guns that
can be gotten together are needed.
"Our people will be patient. This
state knows what it is to sacrifice:
we have done SO before; we can do
so again." continued the governor.
Some Of the local boards report
that irmen are called now from farms
and other industries. it means loss.
That is regrettable; the government
realizes 1t; the war department feels
II keenly. But the first thing to do
Is to win this war.
we must realize that the call is
for men and men and more men
and when our people realize what is
expected of them. they will not dis
appoint our government and our sis
ter states"
Governor Manning has been notified
that the government can furnish the
state reserve militia with $50 modern
army rifles. The old Sprignelds will
be returned and will probably be re.
issued to colleges and military
schools
