B. T. is a typical representative of an ideal man, intellectual, physical, and moral. His appear- ance is tall and commanding, his fo rehead is broad and smooth, indicating his depth of intellect. His eloquent discourse and oratorical ability are so pro- nounced that we naturally think of him as a second Bryan. His physical ability has enabled him to show us a few things in athletics. His strength and tenacity have made him a socd athlete. B. T. has sought a golden mean in everything at college. He has been a diligent student, a moderate sport, a splendid athlete, a creditable orator, and a good, moral stu- dent, w ilh these experiences and natural endow- ments, he goes forth to enter the ranks of the in- numerable host. In view of his evident inclination to the profession of law, we can not but believe that lasting success will be his earthly reward.

ERNEST WILLIAM CARRIGAN, A.B Society Hill, S. C. He was just the quiet fyind, whose natures never vary. Entered College. 1910.

' ll- ' 12; Sec- retary-Treasurer of Class, 13-14; Business Manager of the Collegian, ' 13- ' I4; President of the Student Body, ' 13- ' 14. Ernest is one of the handsomest members of our class. He is erect and well proportioned. He wears a clear and pleasant expression. He is one of the sane students who says that it is more important to assimilate well the grains of knowledge than to con- sume an indigestible amount. While he has not always made high marks, he has done good work. Ernest is a man who does not believe in disturbing other people either by his tongue or presence. He rarely visits your room, but is always glad to have you call. He is quiet and reserved. He has en- joyed the rare experience of being untrammeled by love affairs. Easily and gracefully he has passed through his college career. Armed with his dip and experience he will enter the multitudinous ranks of mankind as a banker, and spend his life in keep- ing the trusts (funds) of his fellowmen.
