Dudley, or Gus, having made up his mind onlj a tew minutes beforehand, hurriedly boarded the train at Union, and allowed him- self to lie put off at Clemson. Though a g 1 student. Dudley has pursued a somewhat erratic college course. He smokes his cigars, and moves nonchalantly along until examina- tions arrive: then his nervous temperament gains complete control over him. until he has passed them .ill successfully. Be what you really are. says this care-free, restless, im- pulsive youth, as he goes whistling and dream- ing his way through college. Having taken lessons under a Jew, Gus knows good clothes SO well that he will some day make a fortune in the gents ' furnishing business. Tn all probability he will spend the rest of his days in undisturbed and secluded bachelorhood HERMAN COLLINS BEATY, Georgetown. pray you, tarry; pause a day or trvo. Corporal.

Herman left the city on the Sampit in September, ] ( 07, to cast his die with the Class of 1911, and he has been casting his dice with this class ever since; for, although he has been several times absent from us in body, he has always been present in spirit. At the date of the present writing, Herman has not yet fol- lowed his annual habit of applying for in- definite leave of absence The literary depart- ment of The Chronicle has found Herman an invaluable contributor, although most of his choicest literary work leaves the college in the care of a two-cent stamp. His unbounded nerve assures for him a future of substantial success. 17

Here comes the inexpressible — the only Quaker in school. When moved by the spirit. however, Hutch is said to be very fond of playing — we shall let you guess what. On rare occasions he is said to have ideas of his own. The absence of conversational proclivities oh the part of the Dutch, and his habitual sphinx-like expression, are said to be in part traceable to his youthful diet of green per- simmons and wild cherries. He is said to have the lowest-geared pair of pedal extremities in the corps of cadets having been known to take ten steps forward without gaining any ground.

Wilson, that ' s all. Heboid, another great man is come from Union. True, Charlotte, . C, the city which is ever seeking the honor of being the scene of momentous events in history, lias put forward its claim as the city of his nativity; but to the people of Union belongs the credit — if there is any credit — of effecting, in part, the civilization of this raw product of the Old North State. His smiling, florid countenance bet kens a sunny disposi- tion, which to know is but to like. Wilson ' s ability to take things as they come is one of bis most noticeable characteristics. Having seen the range of Wilson ' s business ability, we have nothing to fear with reference to his future well-being 16

This bud of Renins (?) and flower of chivalry ( ! ) sprang into being in the pleasant hamlet of Rowesville, and grew up among the rosebuds of that flowery land. In the fall of 1907, he was transplanted to Clemson. to blossom forth, and waste his sweetness on the ' ' esert air. That is the way the poet puts it. His roommate, however, would say that he wastes his desert air on Sweetness. ' ' Fill him with oysters, stick a good cigar in his receiver, call the name of some pretty girl, and you have the jolliest Laddie in barracks, and a true Boone companion as well.

Our vocabulary does not contain words of sufficient variety and exactness to enable us to give a fitting description to this blue-eyed, fair-haired Saxon. It has been suggested that we allow the man to speak for himself. Toots has had that privilege ever since he has been at college, but has never yet availed himself of it. lie believes that actions speak louder than words, and acts accordingly. To test him upon this point, poke two fingers suddenlj into his ribs. Although he looks to be the perfect type of Mellin ' s Food boy. take him any way you please, Toots is a man. There is onl} one person who can handle him. and she dors it w ith her eyes. 18
