He, having high aspirations, early entered the Prep class of Clemson College, then under the domain of King Sease. His application to work was ideal and his advancement satisfactory. He, however, for various and sundry reasons, dropped out of college for a period of several years. When he finally re- turned, the call to the colors broke into his col- lege career, and he was forced to leave again. Chap. after securing his discharge, again turned bis eyes Clemsonward, and is now an honored member of the present senior class.
