Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1907, Vol. 10 Great as have been his achievements, Mr. Watts has shown himself to be greater still in his recognition of the great advantage wealth gives when used properly. He has so dispensed large sums of money to institutions in North Carolina and Virginia, that his generosity has benefited a larger number of individuals, perhaps, than any other benefactor today. The name of Watts is perpetuated on such campuses as Davidson College, Elizabeth College, and Union Theological Seminary by handsome and modernly equipped build ings which are indispensable to the wide usefulness of these several institu tions. Besides, he gave a magnificent Hospital to his home city and has always been on the alert to bestow the blessings of his means on needy humanity. Such has been Mr. Watts' successful career and such his broad and generous appreciation of his unlimited opportunities for doing good. North Carolina may justly feel proud to call him her citizen.

Download or read book Taps 1916 Vol 9 Classic Reprint written by Clemson University and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taps, 1916, Vol. 9 From his first days in College, he took a first place in every kind of work and every phase of college life; and, best of all, he took a first place in the hearts of those who knew him - students and teachers. Everybody always liked Little Dave, in spite of his insistence upon reporting persistently every breach of regulations he saw while on any sort of responsible duty. And that, in a military school, is a supreme test. Most of us respect a man for doing his duty, even at our expense; but it is not very easy to be fond of him in such circumstances. In the classroom, in the Literary Societies, in military matters, in the various forms and phases of college pleasures, such as they were in those early days, he easily stood first, a man to be noticed of teachers and students. At a time when Senior Captain was the highest cadet office, he filled that trying position in such a way as to win from all commendation and admiration. Graduating from the agricultural course in February, 1898, Mr. Henry remained at Clemson several months taking special work in Chemistry. Then he was away, in Athens, Ga., for a while, doing chemical work; but he returned to his alma mater, in 1899, to accept a position in the Chemistry Department, where he has been in continuous service ever since, having been in turn instructor, assistant professor, and now for a number of years associate professor. During all these years he has been a faithful and efficient worker, a strict but lovable teacher, and a man whom to know is surely to admire. Clemson College and Clemson students have never had a friend more loyal to their interests, more eager to serve them, and more able to do a man's share in the multiple duties and opportunities of such a college as ours. An enthusiast in college athletics, and interested always in the various other pleasures and activities of student life out side of the routine, he has always encouraged and fostered all that is wholesome and beneficial for the development of young men. In fact, were it necessary to sum up his official and unofficial attitude and efforts during the nearly two decades of his life here since graduation, it could best be done in-the three significant words, the students' friend.

Download or read book Tipyn O Bob Vol 14 written by Janet R. Grace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tipyn O' Bob, Vol. 14: October, 1916 To begin the year with a confession and a discovery: in college we do not learn most from our teachers or from each other - at least directly but from ourselves. We are comically eager to talk about ourselves, to show what we are among our kind, and we soon find that this needs exact analysis. We are not to-day as we were yesterday. Strangely our points of view, even our principles, are changing. We are appalled, perhaps, but certainly interested. We realize how ephemeral is an opinion and wonder if it be worth while taking a position in which we did not stand last week and from which we shall probably recede before the term is out. Tip believes that the development of character during four years of college is largely brought about through the conflict of opinion. We are all inexperienced and, from that standpoint, our ideas are all equally worth less. But we are crowding each other into shape, and, most of all, we are learning to make decisions where there is no older person to advise or correct. Therefore we claim indulgence, remembering always that we speak only to one another. We are confident as being sincere, and our faith is the good faith of common citizenship. When asked by anxious parents if there is any hazing in her college, the loyal Bryn Mawr undergraduate is always very much shocked and replies without hesitation that no such thing exists. In fact she feels rather heated at the suggestion. But if this lofty attitude of denial is justified, what is it which causes the almost constant friction existing between the Freshman and the Sophomore classes? Every year the Same thing has occurred; it will occur this year, and possibly may continue to occur in spite of the illuminating suggestions of this editorial. When the Freshmen see the Sophomores trying to break up their class meeting, trying to get their Parade song by fair means or foul, trying to break through their line in the hockey field, they naturally will take up the challenge, and will seek retaliation of some sort. They may find a rearrangement of the sheets on the Sophomores' beds of peculiar interest, or they may, do their best to arouse a general class antipathy, which will break loose some where in the realm of athletics. Then the Sophomores who have gained some wisdom perhaps, yet have not quite reached that almost superhuman degree attained by Juniors and Seniors, will get their feelings hurt, will inquire in injured voices how the Freshmen could have thought, etc. And to what is all this due? It is due to a few relics of a former system, relics so sacred that it seems almost sacrilege to mention them in this connection. We shall do so, however.
