Number  1 


OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


THE  Xlie   119th   session  of   the   Fniversity 

NEW  YEAR  opened  September  11th  with  prospects 
o£  being  the  best  year  to  date  in  the 
University's  long  history.  The  attendance  from  the 
very  first  indicated  that  it  would  go  beyond  all  pre- 
vious records,  and  on  September  30th  it  had  reached 
the  high  mark  of  S5G,  being  19  more  than  the  total 
enrollment  of  1912-13. 

Any  apprehension  which  may  have  been  felt  as  to 
whether  or  not  the  student  body  would  continue  to 
manifest  the  splendid  spirit  which  dominated  the 
Class  of  1913  at  the  close  of  its  stay  on  the  Campus, 
was  completely  dispelled  during  registration  by  the 
perfect  conduct  of  the  student  body.  There  was  no 
bell  ringing,  no  gun  play,  no  once  familiar  admo- 
nition to  "lie  low.''  Instead  there  was  a  cordiality 
of  feeling  which  pervaded  everything  and  a  spirit  of 
forward  looking  which  must  mean  much  to  Carolina 
in  the  year  before  her. 

In  scholarship,  the  average  attainment  of  those  en- 
tering seems  to  have  been  higher  than  previously. 
The  Freshman  Class  appears  to  be  a  promising  group. 
At  the  other  end  of  the  course,  in  the  Graduate 
School,  a 'like  progress  is  evident.  The  number  of 
graduate  students  is  greater  by  11  than  it  has  ever 
been — the  total  39 — and  the  men  taking  advanced 
work  are  exceptionally  well  prepared.  Between  these 
two  groups,  the  other  classes  and  the  professional 
schools  give  promise  of  high  achievement. 

nan 

THE  Coincident  with  the  oiJening  has  been 

ALUMNI  the  presence  in  large  numbers  of  alum- 

ni on  the  campus.  Various  purposes 
have  brought  them  here.  Some  have  come  to  place 
brothers  or  friends  under  the  care  of  alma  mater; 
others,  to  participate  in  the  exercises  of  College  Night 
or  the  fraternity  initiations;  others,  to  express  their 
interest  in  athletics,  and  to  look  over  the  football 
squad;  others,  to  visit  the  "Hill"  before  settling  down 
to  a  years'  duties  in  other  fields — all  to  uphold  alma 
mater's  hands  and.  bid  her  God  speed. 


UNIVERSITY    University  Day,  the  12th  of  October, 
DAY  will  fall  on  Sunday.    That  will  probalv 

ly  mean  tiiat  celebrations  will  have  to 
be  held  on  Friday  or  Saturday  preceding.  The  cele- 
bration here  will  be  held  on  the  morning  of  the  11th, 
Saturday,  with  Hon.  Josei)hus  Daniels,  Secretary  of 
the  Navy,  as  the  alumni  speaker.  But  the  point  is 
that  the  local  celebrations  should  be  held  at  all  events, 
whatever  the  day.  This  is  tremendously  important. 
It  is  vital,  both  to  the  local  associations  and  to  the 
University. 

In  previous  years  the  celebration  meetings  have 
sometimes  been  skipped  because  there  was  nothing 
to  do !  But  there  is  something  to  do,  and  so  much  of 
it  that  another  question  arises,  "Ought  not  the  local 
organizations  to  meet  several  times  a  year  and  start 
something?"  The  University  is  looking  afield.  It 
wants  to  help  upbuild  North  Carolina.  It  wants  to 
touch  the  life  of  the  communities  in  which  its  alumni 
live.  The  local  associations  can  aid  it  in  making  the 
proj^er  connection.  They  can  take  part  in  the  work 
itself.  Let  the  celebrations  this  year  be  forward 
looking  as  well  as  reminiscent. 

nnn 

ALUMNI  Xhe  section  of  The  Review  which  is 

REPORTS  of  greatest  interest  to  the   alumni   is 

that  which  deals  with  alumni  happen- 
ings. Therefore,  let  all  officers — the  secretaries  espec- 
ially— mail  to  the  Alumni  Editor  good  reports  of  the 
meetings  held  on  University  Day.  Individual  alum- 
ni also  are  urged  to  send  notices  concerning  them- 
selves. The  editors  cannot  make  this  section  inter- 
esting without  the  co-operation  of  each  individual 
alumnus.  Furthermore  there  is  no  editorial  immod- 
esty in  sending  notices,  even  if  they  are  about  one's 
self.

^^^  The  vitality  of  the  University  is  ex- 

ACTIVITIES  pressing  itself  this  year  in  the  intro- 
duction of  several  new  activities  and 
th<'  extension  of  former  ones.  Among  the  new,  one 
wiiich  promises  to  be  of  very  great  benefit  to  the 
internal  life  of  the  University  is  the  system  of  Fresh- 
man   Advisors.     The    object    of    the    system    is    to

help  the  Freshman  Class  find  itself  in  such  a  way 
that  40  i^cr  cent,  of  its  meiubershiij — the  ^jrcsent  jjer 
cent. — will  not  be  lost  to  the  University  every  year. 
It  further  contem]ilates  the  more  complete  social  and 
intellectual  upbuilding  of  every  University  student. 
Its  work  will  he  watched  with  keen  interest.

ACTIVITIES  As  outlined  on  another  page,  the  work 
EXTENDED  of  fjie  Bureau  of  Extension  is  to  cover 
more  ground  this  year  than  last.  The 
High  School  Debating  Union  has  been  placed  upon 
a  permanent  basis;  the  Library  will  offer  increased 
service  along  the  line  of  general  iuformation  and 
package  libraries ;  the  School  of  Education  will  con- 
duct a  Teachers'  Bureau  and  offer  correspondence 
courses  for  teachers;  the  Departments  of  Economics 
and  History,  together  with  the  County  Clubs,  plan 
to  aid  those  interested  in  municipal  and  state  legisla- 
tion or  the  improvement  of  rural  economic  and  social 
conditions;  and  the  faculty  as  a  whole  proposes  to 
give  lectures,  upon  request,  for  the  benefit  of  those 
seeking  information  about  general  or  specific  sub- 
jects. The  Bureau  is  hard  at  work  and  good  results 
will  necessarily  follow. 


ATHLETICS  Predictions  as  to  athletics  for  the  pres- 
ent year  are  not  in  order  at  this  time. 
The  future  will  have  to  show  whether  the  foundations 
now  being  laid  are  good  or  otherwise.  But  here  are 
facts  upon  which  it  is  not  too  much  to  base  something. 
The  alumni  have  become  seriously  interested  in  ath- 
letics generally;  a  jiermanent  system  of  coaching  has 
been  adopted ;  splendidly  qualified  coaches  have  been 
secured  to  train  the  'Varsity;  class  teams,  especially 
the  Freshman  and  Sophomore,  are  being  drilled  with 
a  view  to  the  production  of  'Varsity  material  later 
on ;  systematic  gymnasium  work  is  being  required  of 
all  Freshman  in  order  to  build  up  good  sound 
bodies;  and  the  student  athletic  fee  furnishes  a  basis 
for  proper  athletic  support.  These  things  dught  to 
count  ultimately.

THE  The  Review  faces  the  year  eonfident- 

REVIEW  ]j.     It  made  a  hard  campaign  in  its 

behalf  during  the  summer  and  it  hopes 
with  the  continued  support  of  the  alumni  to  make  its 
second  year  more  eventful  than  its  first.  To  do  this, 
however,  will  require  the  hearty  co-operation  of  all 
the  alumni  both  as  to  material  with  which  to  fill  its 
pages  aud  subscriptions  and  advertisements  with 
which  to  meet  its  expenses.  Aid  in  securing  these 
will  be  helpful. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  CARRIES  ITS  WORK  AFIELD 

The  Bureau  of  Extension  Outlines  Constructive  Plans 

From  a  Bulletin  now  in  the  hands  of  the  Univer- 
sity printer  the  following  announcement  is  taken :

cerning secondary  schools  and  college  entrance  re- 
quirements. 

"For  full  information,  address  The  Bureau  of 
Extension,  .Chapel  Hill,  N.  C." 

All  of  the  work  thus  outlined  is  being  rapidly 
pushed  in  order  that  the  service  may  begin  immediate- 
ly. "Extension  Lectures  for  jSTorth  Carolina  Com- 
munities," being  bulletin  three  in  the  Extension  Se- 
ries, is  now  at  press.  It  gives  the  titles  of  some  one 
hundred  lectures  that  members  of  the  faculty  will 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


offer  to  the  public  on  general  or  specific  subjects. 
This  work  is  in  the  hands  of  a  sn'b-committcc  of  the 
Extension  Bureau  composetl  of  L.  K.  Wilson,  A.  H. 
Patterson  and  M.  H.  Stacy. 

The  .Correspondence  Courses,  the  first  to  be  of- 
fered by  the  University,  will  be  given  liy  various 
members  of  the  faculty  under  the  general  supervision 
of  Dean  Noble,  of  the  School  of  Education. 

The  work  of  the  High  School  Debating  Union 
begun  last  year  by  the  Di  and  Phi  Societies,  has  been 
taken  over,  in  Jiart,  by  the  Bureau,  and  a  sixty  page 
bulletin,  containing  query,  briefs,  and  references,  will 
be  mailed  before  the  fiVst  of  November  to  the  hun- 
dred and  fifty  schools  which  are  members  of  the 
Union.  E.  R.  Rankin  is  in  active  charge  of  this 
work. 

The  county  economic  and  social  survey  work  is  well 


under  way,  the  county  clubs  of  last  year  having  laid 
the  foundation  for  the  enlarged  work  of  this  year. 
The  idea  which  predominates  in  this  activity  is  that 
of  knowing  one's  own  home  county  with  a  view  to 
upbuilding  it.  The  county  clubs  are  being  directed 
in  this  work  by  Acting  President  Graham,  Prof.  Z. 
V.  Judd,  Dr.  C.  L.  Raper,  and  Prof.  E.  C.  Branson, 
of  the  State  jSTormal  School  of  Athens,  Ga. 

Drs.  Rajicr  and  Hamilton  are  in  charge  of  the 
municipal  and  legislative  reference  department;  Pro- 
fesors  Walker  and  Graham  are  directing  the  teachers' 
bureau;  and  the  Library  supplies  outlines  and  pack- 
age libraries  whenever  general  information  is  sought. 

The  complete  committee  is  as  follows:  Louis 
R.  Wilson,  E.  K.  Graham,  N.  W.  Walker,  M.  H. 
Stacy,  A.  IT.  Patterson,  C.  L.  Raper,  H.  W.  Chase, 
M.  C.  S.  Noble,  and  Collier  Cobb. 


ATHLETICS 

The  Foundation  for  Sound  Football  is  Begun 


When  Pendleton  and  Wilson  went  out  to  begin 
the  active  field  coaching  they  found  contrary  to  the 
wild  reports  a  little  more  than  the  usual  amount  of 
crude  raw  material.  Theirs  is  a  big  job — to  round 
out  a  team  ivom  this  untutored  throng  of  ninety  men. 
It  is  not  a  months'  task,  it  will  take  two  years  to 
establish  the  Princeton  system  here  where  there  have 
been  successively  the  Pennsylvania  tactics,  the  Yale 
formation,  and  a  varying  hedge  podge.  Trenchard, 
Wilson,  and  Pendleton  are  s]ilendid  coaches  but  they 
cannot  contravene  an  unyielding  law  of  life  that 
organisms  and  systems  evolve  and  develop  slowly.  It 
is  their  purpose  to  build  for  i^ermanence. 

If  coaching  can  turn  the  trick  then  it  will  be  turn- 
ed in  good  time.  Trenchard,  one  of  the  greatest  ends 
of  all  time,  is  looking  after  the  ends.  Wilson,  an  all- 
American  guard,  is  coaching  the  linemen,  and  Pen- 
dleton, Princeton's  wonderful  halfback,  has  charge 
of  the  backs.  Toward  the  permanent  system  Kluttz, 
of  Davidson,  is  making  an  incalculable  contribution 
in  his  expert  direction  of  class  athletics.  He  has 
special  supervision  of  the  freshman  and  sophomores. 
Two  other  men  are  coaching  the  juniors  and  the  sen- 
iors. In  the  system  that  is  being  developed  now,  the 
alumni  responsible  are  seeking  to  take  what  is  natur- 
ally Carolina's  and  get  out  of  it  all  that  is  in  it,  and 
before  Trenchard's  three  year  contract  is  up  there  will 
"be  another  story  to  tell  that  doesn't  begin  with  sixty 
nor  end  with  nothing. 

Half  of  last  year's  squad  are  back  eager  to  have  a 
part  in  remaking  a  Carolina  eleven,  Capt.  Abernathy, 


tackle,  Huske  and  Ilomewood,  ends,  Tayloe,  half,  and 
R.  Abei'nathy,  full.  The  closest  contests  are  be- 
tween R.  Abernathy  and  Tandy  for  centre  and  Orr 
and  Lord  for  quarter.  Ervin,  Cowell,  Ramsey,  Pope 
and  Burnett,  and  Edwards  make  up  some  of  the 
other  most  promising  material. 

Wliile  the  coaches  are  patiently  on  their  jobs 
it  is  the  part  of  Carolina  men  to  discount  extrava- 
gant talk,  back  up  the  athletic  committee  in  their 
purpose  to  keej)  true  to  the  eligibility  requirements, 
and  ask  for  results  not  later  than  November,  1914. 


CAROLINA  DEFEATS  WAKE  FOREST  7  TO  0 

Wake  Forest's  pej}  kept  Carolina's  weight  from 
jjushing  across  the  goal  line  but  one  time.  In  the 
second  quarter  Tayloe  got  within  striking  distance 
and  went  over  in  a  brilliant  dash.  In  the  first  quarter 
Carolina  got  near  the  goal  line  and  lost  a  good  chance 
on  a  fumble.  Daniels  of  Wake  Forest,  broke  into 
Carolina's  other  chance  to  score  by  turning  an  inter- 
cepted forward  pass  into  a  touchback.  Wake  Forest 
never  seriously  threatened  Carolina's  goal  line.  Tay- 
loe and  Ervin  played  brilliantly  for  Carolina.  Dan- 
iels, Carter,  and  Trust  did  exceptionally  good  work 
for  Wake  Forest. 

On  the  whole  the  game  was  a  disappointment.

CAROLINA  MAKES  15  POINTS  AGAINST  VIRGINIA 
MEDICAL  COLLEGE 

Carolina  showed  a  very  decided  improvement  in 
the  game  against  Virginia  Medical  College  on  Octo- 
ber 4.  The  effect  of  a  week's  training  by  Trenchard, 
Pendleton,  and  Wilson  was  seen  in  a  more  smoothly 
working  machine  and  a  better  fighting  spirit. 

The  score  was  15  to  0  in  favor  of  Carolina.  A 
tonchdowa  was  made  in  the  first  quarter,  Ervin  carry- 
ing the  ball  across.  Another  was  made  in  the  third, 
Ervin  again  carrying  the  ball  over.  Tayloe  tried  for 
goals  both  times,  succeeding  the  first  and  missing  the 
second.  In  the  fourth  quarter  a  safety  by  Carolina 
made  the  score  15.  Lord  started  tbe  game  as  quarter, 
was  succeeded  by  Allen  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
second,  and  was  sent  in  again  in  the  fourth.  With 
practice  Lord  and  Allen  will  both  develop  into  cap- 
able generals.  Orr  was  sick  and  was  unable  to  get 
in  the  game. 

The  best  playing  was  done  by  Ervin  at  full  and 
Homewood  at  left  end.  The  line  as  a  whole  held  fast 
and  made  openings  for  the  backs  when  needed ;  the 
playing  of  Tayloe  and  Pope  was  steady  and  consistent 
throughout.  For  the  opponents  the  best  playing  was 
done  by  Tyler,  at  center ;  Walker,  at  left  tackle ;  and 
Euttrell,  at  quarter.  The  visitors  had  a  lot  of  husky, 
heavy,  and  capable  material,  but  lacked  practice  and 
coaching. 

Carolina's  line-up  was :  R.  G.,  Homewood,  Tennent,  and 
Harris ;  R.  T.,  Capt.  Abernethy,  Kernodle ;  R.  G.,  Johnson, 


McCall;  C,  R.  Abernethy,  Higgins;  L.  G.,  Cowell,  Andrews; 
L.  T.,  Ramsey,  Edwards ;  L.  E.,  Huske,  Long,  Love ;  Q.,  Lord, 
Allen;   R.  H.,   Pope,  J.   Burnette;   L.  H.,  Tayloe,   Rcid ;   F., 

Ervin,  Fuller.  The  officials  were :  Referee,  Broughton,  of 
Raleigh;  Umpire,  Kluttz,  of  Chapel  Hill;  Head  Linesman, 
Manning,  of  Durham.

HIGH  SCHOOL  FOOTBALL  CONTEST 

With  the  object  in  view  of  encouraging  the  play- 
ing of  football  in  the  high  schools  of  North  Carolina, 
the  General  Alumni  Athletic  Association  of  the  Uni- 
versity has  made  plans  for  a  state-wide  contest  among 
the  high  schools  this  fall.  The  chief  hindrance  to 
successful  college  football  in  the  State  heretofore  has 
been  the  lack  of  experienced  men.  Only  a  very  small 
percentage  of  the  present  Freshman  Class  of  the 
University,  for  instance,  have  ever  played  football, 
and  it  is  with  the  hope  that  more  of  our  high  schools 
can  be  induced  to  put  in  footlball  that  a  plan  for  a 
contest  is  submitted  to  them. 

The  plan  for  the  contest  is  briefly  this : 

1.  For  this  year  the  contest  shall  be  open  to  public

selected  for  the  fiual  contest,  and  while  ou  the  ''Hill" 
these  teams  will  be  entertained  by  the  Association. 

These  plans,  it  will  be  seen,  will  not  interfere 
with  any  games  already  scheduled.  A  school  will 
simply  go  ahead  with  its  regular  schedule,  and  if  on 
Nov.  loth  no  games  have  been  lost  and  as  many  as 
three  have  been  won,  then  it  will  be  entitled  to  enter 
the  competitive  contest  with  other  schools  of  the  same 
record  for  the  trip  to  Chapel  Hill.  The  committee 
at  Chapel  Hill  will  arrange  the  schedules  for  this 
competitive  series. 

In  not  allowing  the  scope  of  this  contest  to  take  in 
the  private  and  denominational  high  schools,  it  was 
Ijy  no  means  meant  to  disregard  them.  It  was  simply 
impossible  at  the  late  season  to  plan  out  a  contest  that 
would  include  them,  also.  Then,  too,  games  between 
the  leading  preparatory  schools  and  the  different  class 
teams  of  the  University  have  already  been  arranged 
by  the  Greater  Council  through  T.  C.  Boushall  as  a 
committee. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  plan  will  receive  the  support 
of  the  school  men  of  the  state,  and  that  by  it  football 
playing  in  the  secondary  schools  can  be  encouraged. 
The  active  sujiport  of  the  alumni  in  getting  the  local 
high  schools  interested  will  be  a  great  helji  to  the 
committee  at  Chapel  Hill.  All  correspondence  should 
be  addressed  to  Mr.  C.  E.  Ervin,  secretary  of  the 
committee. 


was  such  a  wonderful  success.  The  Union  which  was 
organized  by  the  Dialectic  and  Philanthropic  Lit- 
erary Societies  of  the  University  involves  a  state- 
wide contest  in  debate  among  the  secondary  schools, 
with  the  winning  teams  under  certain  conditions  com- 
ing to  Chapel  Hill  to  contest  for  the  championship 
and  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup.  This  year  the  Uni- 
versity takes  over  in  large  part  the  financial  side  of 
the  movement  and  purposes  to  do  all  in  its  power  to 
make  its  success  and  accompanying  benefit  to  the 
high  schools  complete. 

The  query  that  has  been  selected  for  all  the  schools 
having  membership  in  the  Union  is:  "Besolved,  That 
the  Constitution  of  North  Carolina  should  he  so 
amended  as  to  allow  the  Initiative  and  Referendum 
in  state-wide  legislation." 


DEBATING   UNION   GROWS 

Definite  plans  are  being  made  by  tlie  University 
for  the  continuation  and  extension  of  the  High  School 
Debating  Union  of  North  Carolina,  which  last  year 


THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL 

The  session  of  the  Summer  School  for  1913  was  the 
largest  and  best  in  all  its  history.  The  attendance 
i-eached  even  500,  being  37  greater  than  in  1912. 
In  addition  to  this,  48  pupils  from  the  village  were 
enrolled  in  a  model  practice  school  conducted  by  the 
University  in  the  Peabody  Building.  Of  the  500 
students,  112  were  men  and  388  women.  Of  the 
entire  enrollment  4G4  were  teachers,  24  were  stu- 
dents preparing  for  college,  and  12  miscellaneous. 

The  session  brought  out  several  significant  facts. 
The  l)iggest  of  these  was  that  the  teachers  of  the 
State  are  realizing  that  the  University  is  their  Uni- 
versity. Loans  of  books  from  the  Library,  services

given  ty  individual  instructors  and  other  similar  ser- 
vices have  helped  convey  this  idea  and  it  is  becoming 
generally  accepted.  They  are  beginning  to  look  to 
the  University  for  increasing  aid  and  guidance  in 
constructive  educational  work. 

Another  was  the  very  great  usefulness  of  the  Pea- 
body  Building  as  a  center  for  the  work  of  the  School 
of  Education.  The  building  is  splendidly  adapted 
to  the  needs  of  the  Summer  School,  and  the  mere 
gathering  together  in  one  building  for  recitation 
purposes  of  some  three  to  five  hundred  students  at 
one  time  was  inspiring  in  itself. 

The  classroom  work  of  the  school  was  an  improve- 
ment over  that  of  former  years,  and  the  per  cent  of 
college  trained  teachers  present  ran  far  above  that 
of  previous  sessions.  Sixteen  schools  and  colleges  of 
the  State  had  delegations  ranging  from  six  to  sixty 
in  number,  and  other  colleges  wei'e  represented  by 
smaller  delegations. 

The  spirit  of  play  was  also  delightfully  evidenced. 
It  was  manifested  in  no  neglect  of  duty,  but  by 
hearty  participation  in  dramatics,  music,  fetes,  and 
social  events  which  were  inspirational  as  well  as 
recreative.  It  helped  give  proper  proportion  to  the 
whole  work  of  the  school  and  added  to  its  otherwise 
decided  success.

THE  NEW  DINING  HALL 

On  Septemher  6th  the  contract  was  let  to  W.  B. 
Barrow,  of  Kalcigh.  for  the  erection  of  the  new  $50,- 
000  Dining  Hall  for  the  Uliiversity.  Contrary  to 
ju-evious  announcement,  the  building  is  to  be  located 
on  the  site  of  the  Gore  or  Patterson  residence  almost 
directly  opposite  the  Educational  Building. 

Work  has  already  been  begun  with  a  view  to  com- 
pleting the  new  hall  hy  May  20  of  next  year  in  order 
that  the  alumni  luncheon  for  1914  may  be  held  in  it, 
and  that  it  nmy  be  used  for  the  succeeding  Summer 
School. 

During  the  summer  the  Trustees  added  Dr.  L.  R. 
Wilson  and  Prof.  W.  D.  Toy  to  the  building  com- 
mittee. 


GOOD  WISHES 

To  a  servant  of  the  University  abroad  in  search  of 
his  health  the  best  wishes  of  the  community  go  out. 
The  presidency  of  any  college  is  a  wearing  position 
and  particularly  so  during  periods  of  rapid  expan- 
sion. The  thirteen  years  which  have  seen  Doctor 
Venal)le  at  the  head  of  this  institution  iiave  seen 
growth  in  every  direction,  healthy  and  encouraging. 
To  his  lot  it  has  fallen  to  build,  in  large  part,  the 
present  physical  University,  to  set  high  standards  for 
it,  and  to  bring  it  to  a  position  where  it  is  able  to 
serve  the  State  directly  and  in  an  increasingly  large 
way.  By  what  struggles  he  has  accomplished  this 
work  only  he  knows ;  and  that  he  should  feel  the  strain 
is  no  more  than  one  could  expect.  His  search  for 
rest  and  the  restoration  of  his  health  is  but  a  prepara- 
tion for  the  continuance  of  what  to  him  is  a  lahor  of 
love.  May  he  find  the  rest  he  seeks  and  return  to 
carrv  the  work  forward. — Tar  Heel,  Sept.  18.

THE  UNIVERSITY  IN  LETTERS 

Tlie  publication  of  Esther  Wake  or  The  Spirit  of 
the  Begulators:  a  play  in  Four  Acts  (Edwards  and 
Broughton  Printing  Co.,  Ealeigh,  N.  C,  1913),  by 
Mr.  Adolpli  Vermont,  Superintendent  of  Schools  at 
Smithfield,  N.  C,  possesses  a  dual  significanee  in  the 
history  and  literature  of  North  Carolina.  During  his 
incumbency  as  Instructor  in  Romance  Langiuiges  at 
this  University,  Mr.  Vermont  demonstrated  his  tal- 
ents and  his  versatility  in  various  directions,  especial- 
ly his  skill  as  a  linguist  and  his  dramatic  sense.  It 
was  no  surprise,  then,  when  in  the  smnmer  of  1912 
Mr,  Vermont  produced  bere  bis  own  play  of  Esther 
Wake,  then  in  manuscript.  The  play  was  the  out- 
come of  a  suggestion  of  Professor  N.  W.  Walker, 
who  urged  Mr.  Vermont  to  write  a  play  based  upon 
North  Carolina  history,  to  be  presented  before  the 
Summer  School,  of  which  Mr.  Walker  was  director. 

I  was  present  at  that  first  performance,  the  setting 
for  which — the  east  entrance  of  the  old  University  Li- 
brary— was  entirely  ideal,  and  at  the  same  time  thor- 
oughly suitable,  theatrically  as  well  as  esthetically.  It 
was  fortunate  that  Mr.  Vermont  pratically "tried  out" 
bis  play  before  giving  it  enduring  form  in  print.  For 
the  original  production  revealed  the  many  signs  of 
-a   garrulous    opening   of   long- 


tbe    'j)rentice    hand- 


winded  exposition ;  unpruned  exuberance  of  figure, 
metaijhor,  and  "poetic''  sentiment;  a  thoroughly  un- 
motived  transfer  of  affection  from  "  villain "  to 
"hero" ;  and,  most  serious  fault  of  all,  an  inconclus- 
ive, inartistic  ending — a  full  stop,  which  was  not  a 
conclusion.  Susceptible  to  suggestion  in  the  proper 
sense,  quick  to  seize  the  truth  of  an  exposed  weakness 
and  to  remedy  it,  the  author  conscientiously  studied 
his  problem  anew  in  the  light  of  expert  criticism 
which  he  had  sought  in  several  directions. 

Again,  in  the  summer  of  1913,  Mr.  Vermont  pro- 
duced his  play  before  tbe  University  Summer  School, 
but  this  time  from  the  printed  work  itself.  The 
work  as  re-written,  exhibits  a  remarkable  transforma- 
tion from  the  first  version.  For  Mr.  Vermont  demon- 
strated that  he  not  only  realized  the  weak  points  in 
his  first  version :  he  knew  bow  to  remedy  them.  This 
is  not  to  say  that  tbe  play  is  free  from  defect;  it  is 
to  say  that,  in  its  present  form,  it  is  built  to  withstand 
criticism  and  does  so  with  commendable  success. 
Most  conspicuous  of  the  improvements  are  the  end 
and  the  beginning.  The  spectator  is  brought  into 
contact  with  the  play's  "action"  quickly — instead  of 
having  to  listen  to  the  meanderings  of  octogenarian 
garrulity.  As  for  the  conclusion,  the  alteration  is 
transforming.  In  his  first  version,  the  author  gives 
us  only  an  individual  tragedy;  or  at  least,  with  every 
intention  of  giving  us  something  more,  be  failed  to 
draw  together  his  threads  at  the  end  in  sucb  a  way 
as  to  make  that  larger  import  predominant.  There 
is  at  once  strength,  nobility,  and  historic  accurracy 
in  tbe  final  "gallows  speech"  of  Pugh;  and  in  it  the 
author,  in  responding  to  suggestions,  concretizes  and 
epitomizes  the  meaning  of  his  own  play — and,  as  I 
take  it,  the  meaning  of  Pugh's  sacrifice,  the  meaning 
of  the  popular  uprising  known  in  history  as  the  Regu- 
lation.   Says  Pugh  to  Tryon : — 

"Sir,  I  love  the  hills  and  the  light  that  is  upon 
them.  I  have  listened  to  the  rush  of  the  rivers,  the 
song  of  the  pines,  and  I  love  their  music.  They 
would  hush  their  voices,  and  the  hills  would  hide 
their  crests  in  darkness,  should  their  freeman-sons 
bow  down  before  a  master.  Son  of  England,  we, 
too,  are  Saxons.  We  have  learned  the  law  of  liberty 
from  the  lips  of  our  fathers.  They  brought  this  law 
with  them  from  their  Saxon  bomes,  and  their  love  of 
freedom  grew  in  the  untrammeled  forest,  on  the  un- 
spoiled plains,  under  the  expanse  of  our  wide  heavens. 
On  our  necks  there  is  no  place  for  the  foot  of  tbe 
tyrant.  Our  Saxon  hearts  know  love,  they  do  not 
know  submission — .  Your  battle  has  but  begun: 
unless  you  put  away  from  you  your  faithless  Coun- 
selors, unless  you  and  England  treat  the  Colonists

as  freemen,  not  only  Carolina,  but  the  East  and  the 
South  will  array  itself  in  war  against  your  scarlet 
soldiers.  Alamance  prophesies  your  defeat:  the  blood 
you  shed  is  martyr  blood,  from  every  drop  will  spring 
a  race  of  men,  undaunted  and  unconquered.  The 
echoes  of  our  battle  will  be  heard  on  all  this  Conti- 
nent, the  groans  of  the  dying  llegulators  will  be  a  call 
to  arms  to  the  young  American  race." 

Mr.  Vermont's  play  possesses  dual  significance.  It 
undoubtedly  possesses  real  merits  as  a  work  of  liter- 
ature. It  furnishes,  moreover,  a  really  conspicuous 
examjDle  as  a  pioneer  in  the  field  of  the  historical 
drama  with  North  Carolina  setting.  Mr.  Vermont 
cleverly  turns  tradition  to  his  own  ends,  for  the  sake 
of  achieving  the  richest  contrast,  and  making  the 
confiict  as  sharp  and  clamant  as  possible — notably  in 
following  certain  pseudo-historians  in  the  error  that 
the  presiding  judge  dismissed  Fanning  on  the  pay- 
ment of  "one  penny  and  costs."  In  reality.  Fanning 
was  convicted  of  extortion,  resigned  his  office,  and 
sentence  was  postponed  until  the  most  expert  legal 
and  judicial  opinions  of  the  day  were  summoned.  In 
utilizing  his  "iJoetic  license"  as  a  dramatist,  the  au- 
thor was  entirely  within  his  right;  and  the  result, 
though  a  violation  of  history,  is  dramatically  logical 
and  effective.  Indeed,  the  play  concerns  itself  with 
a  character,  Esther  Wake,  now  believed  to  be  wholly 
mythical.  My  own  researches  into  this  period  have 
brought  out  the  interesting  fact  that  Edmund  Fan- 
ning was  the  declared  lover  of  the  lovely  and  fasci- 
nating Amelia  Johnston,  daughter  of  William  John- 
ston, of  Hillsborough,  who  was  a  near  relation  of 
Governor  Samuel  Johnston.  The  gold  and  ivory 
miniature  which  Fanning  presented  to  this  young 
lady,  during  the  days  of  his  ardent  courtship,  is  still 
carefully  cherished  by  one  of  her  descendants,  as  is 
also  the  image  of  the  fair  Amelia. 

It  is  an  object  lesson  which  Mr.  Vermont  has  given 
to  North  Carolina.  May  this  excellent  work  and 
effective  play,  based  upon  local  and  State  history, 
inspire  others  in  North  Carolina  to  work  in  the  same 
unexploited  region.  May  this  wonderful  history  of 
ours,  only  slowly  and  painfully  emerging  even  as  his- 
tory to  the  light  of  common  day  and  unsullied  truth, 
become  animated  with  the  spirit  of  the  poet  and  the 
di'amatist,  and  live  again  in  literature  for  the  in- 
sjiiration  an<l  edification  of  those  who  are  to  come. 

The  tangible  results  of  the  McNair  Lectures  for 
1911-12  now  stand  before  us  in  printed  shape,  in  a 
little  volume  issued  by  the  Yale  University  Press, 
under  the  title:  ''Some  Infiuences  of  Modern  Philo- 
sophic Thought,"  by  Arthur  Twining  Iladley,  Presi- 


dent of  Yale  University.  In  one  of  his  chapters,  the 
author  endeavors  to  make  clear  the  sense  in  which  he 
employs  the  term  "philosophy."  He  protests  against 
the  narrowed  conception  of  i)hilosophy,  especially  as 
held  in  the  United  States:  tlie  holding  of  philosophy 
to  be  essentially  subject-matter  for  the  professed  psy- 
chologist. Although  he  does  not  say  so,  Mr.  Hadley 
takes  much  the  same  view  as  does  Mr.  Chesterton  in 
the  matter.  Every  thinking  man,  be  he  man  of  letters 
or  man  of  affairs,  more  or  less  consciously  arrives  at 
some  reasoned  views  of  life  which  may  be  termed 
philosophy.  He  desires  to  "get  a  system  of  working 
hypotheses  which  shall  satisfy  our  instincts  without 
conflicting  with  our  experience."  In  this  way,  every 
logically  reasoning  individual  arrives  at  some  prac- 
tical form  of  "philosophy"  that  "works"  for  him. 
Mr.  Hadley,  at  the  very  outset,  demonstrates  himself 
to  be  a  thorough-paced  pragmatist ;  and  a  study  of  his 
little  work  shows  that  he  is  consistently  pragmatistic 
throughout. 

These  lectures,  viewed  from  one  standpoint,  may 
be  regarded  as  a  simple,  clear  and  engaging  account  of 
the  main  streams  in  modern  thinking — in  science, 
politics,  ethics,  and  "poetry"  in  the  wide  sense  of 
literature.  But  beside  accomplishing  this  compara- 
tively easy  task  of  historical  exposition,  the  author 
has  sought  to  reveal  the  vital  principles  and  energies 
underlying  and  giving  rise  to  these  modern  types  of 
thinking — in  his  own  words,  "to  show  the  concrete 
causes  which  led  different  groups  of  students  and 
men  of  affairs  to  be  interested  in  these  successive 
philosophies  one  after  another." 

In  science,  he  points  out  that  the  work  of  the 
scientists — the  "natural  philosophies" — of  a  hundred 
years  ago  was  one  of  enumeration,  classification,  and 
record.  The  symbol  of  that  time  was  the  museum 
rather  than  the  laboratory.  A  study  of  forms,  of 
strata,  of  elements,  meant  a  description  of  them,  a 
careful  record  of  them  arranged  in  orderliness  and 
system.  During  the  last  century,  the  newer  ideas 
slowly  gained  ground.  The  phenomena  and  their 
properties  continued  to  be  studied;  but  the  scientist 
dug  deeper,  and  sought  to  disclose  the  underlying 
causes  and  forces  which  gave  rise  to  these  phenomena. 
The  effort  was  persistently  directed  with  one  aim :  to 
formulate  the  laws  governing  the  behavior  of  these 
phenomena.  The  contribution  of  Darwin  was  epochal, 
because  he  explained  the  life  history  of  the  type  as 
well  as  the  life  history  of  the  individual.  And  the 
author  goes  on  to  point  out  the  far-reaching  applica- 
tion of  the  Darwinian  theory  of  natural  selection,  not 
only  to  animal  and  vegetable  physiology  but  also  to 
history,  to  philosophy,  to  ethics.  Indeed  he  makes  the 


14 


THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 


rather  remarkable  assertion  that  "the  application  of 
the  Darwinian  theory  to  political  history  is  clearer 
than  its  application  to  natural  history,  and  its  succes- 
sive steps  can  he  traced  far  more  surely."  Even  in 
religion,  he  maintains  that  the  Darwinian  theory  has 
"reintroduced  ideas  of  law  which  Comte  would  have 
characterized  as  metai)hysical,  and  has  nuido  room 
for  ideas  of  God  which  Comte  would  have  condemned 
as  theological."  As  a  pragmatic  thinker,  he  accepts 
the  theory  that  "the  right  is  that  which  will  prevail 
in  the  long  run." 

In  the  iield  of  politics,  Mr.  Hadley  aligns  himself, 
for  the  most  part,  with  the  views  of  Burke,  Mill  and 
Morley,  rather  than  the  views  of  Carlyle  and  liuskin. 
Carlyle  wanted  men  to  follow  the  hero,  but  gave  no 
directions  for  finding  him;  whilst  Mill,  with  prag- 
matic prevision,  insisted  that  in  order  to  find  your 
hero,  all  roads  should  be  left  open  for  his  arrival. 
In  ethics,  we  are  warned  against  the  rabid  individual- 
ism of  Nietzsche,  his  ethical  anarchy,  as  well  as  the 
rationalistic  or  sensualist  variations  of  that  philoso-' 
phy  in  Loria  or  D'Annunzio.  Instead,  he  openly 
espouses  the  ])hilosophy  of  James,  which  makes  per^ 
manence  the  criterion  as  to  whether  a  thing  is  right 
or  wrong.  Without  absolute  standards,  the  praguia- 
tist,  it  is  clear,  has  all  the  ethical  problems  of  life 
vastly  complicated  for  him.  It  is  not  an  easy,  nor 
in  all  cases  a  possible,  thing  to  discover  "the  direction 
in  which  the  universe  is  working;"  and  his  analysis 
of  the  situation  may,  not  inconceivably,  be  an  erron- 
eous one.  The  most  pungent  and  fertile  remark  of 
Mr.  Hadley's  is  made  in  this  connection  when  he 
says:  "I  would  rather  take  the  ground  that  we  hold 
the  belief  that  has  preserved  our  fathers  as  an  intui- 
tion and  act  on  it  as  an  instinct."  And  he  ventures 
to  predict  that,  ten  years  hence,  every  thorough-going 
pragmatist  will  say  that  what  we  know  we  know  by 
instinct,  and  that  the  use  of  the  intellect  is  a  confes- 
sion of  ignorance. 

The  least  successful  of  all  the  chapters  is  that  en- 
titled Recent  Poetry.  It  amounts,  in  sum,  to  a  hearty 
laudation  of  the  tone  of  Kipling  and  the  spirit  of 
Browning.  His  indication  of  the  relation  between 
Blake  and  Shaw  is  sound  and  acute,  without  being 
at  all  original ;  but  he  betrays  the  superficial  view-  of 
Shaw  in  accepting  the  popular  estimate  of  him  as  a 
mere  protestant  against  convention,  failing  to  discern 
the  deeper  implications  of  such  an  essentially  re- 
ligious and  mystical  work  as  Major  Barbara.  Mr. 
Hadley  finds  his  golden  mean  of  right  living  between 
entire  repression  of  the  individual  and  entire  disre- 
gard of  social  conventions — ^^an  eminently  conserva- 
tive position,  to  be  sure.    He  insists,  as  a  sociologist. 


that  the  needs  both  of  the  individual  and  of  society 
must  be  realized  concurrently.  "We  must  balance 
the  claims  and  demands  of  diiferent  kinds  of  men 
and  women  and  the  value  of  ditferent  kinds  of  social 
order."  ]\Ian  must  have  the  fortitude  for  the  strug- 
gle, the  needful  inspiration  to  give  him  courage  to 
accept  its  obligations  and  its  burdens.  The  finer  note 
of  these  lectures  is  caught  in  this  paragraph : 

"For  after  all  the  lesson  which  observation  teaches 
to  the  man  of  brains  is  the  same  that  instinct  has 
taught  the  gentleman  for  many  ages  past:  that  in  any 
conflict  which  is  worthy  of  the  name  strength  counts 
for  less  than  intelligence,  intelligence  for  less  than 
discipline,  discipline  for  less  than  self-sacrifice;  or,  to 
put  it  in  positive  words,  that  unswerving  devotion  is 
the  thing  that  counts  for  most  of  all." 

This  little  book,  despite  its  occasional  one-sided- 
ness,  the  confident  assertion  of  Socialism's  failure, 
its  somewhat  limited  if  thoroughly  consistent  method 
of  interpretation,  is  sane,  clear,  forthright,  inspiring 
— an  adequate  justification  of  the  wisdom  of  the 
McNair  Lectureship.  A.  H. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  SENDS  GREETINGS  TO  THE  ALUMNI 

To  the  Alumni  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina: 

Fellow  Alumni: — ^The  University  has  nothing 
but  good  news  for  the  Alumni  at  the  beginning  of  her 
119  th  year. 

xVt  present  there  are  85 R  students  registered.  This 
exceeds  the  total  for  the  whole  of  last  year,  and  is  the 
largest  registration  in  the  history  of  the  college.  Good 
feeling  and  aggressive  interest  and  co-operation  on 
the  part  of  every  member  of  the  community  to  pro- 
mote the  welfare  of  the  college  has  made  a  notable 
beginning  to  what  we  confidently  believe  will  be  a 
great  year. 

The  contribution  of  the  Alumni  toward  bringing 
this  about  has  already  been  important.  Their  splen- 
did work  is  putting  athletics  on  a  sound  basis  is  felt 
not  merely  in  athletics  but  in  all  jshases  of  University 
life.  We  want  all  of  our  Alumni  so  to  extend  and 
deepen  their  interest  that  they  will  be  thoroughly  in- 
formed about  the  details  of  the  whole  of  University 
life:  what  the  college  is  doing,  what  its  standards  are, 
what  its  standing  among  other  colleges  is.  Then  we 
want  intelligent  criticism  and  sitggestion. 

Some  big  things  we  have  started  recently  are:  the 
wider  development  of  the  school  of  Education,  the 
high  school  debating  league,  high  school  athletic  con- 
tests, an  organized  faculty  lecture  bureau,  extension 
correspondence  courses,  and  a  municipal  and  legisla- 
tive bureau.  Detailed  statements  of  plans  for  mak- 
ing the  University  of  direct  and  maximum  service  to

all  the  people  of  the  State  will  appear  in  the  papers 
aud  in  the  bulletins  of  the  Bureau  of  Extension. 

University  day,  October  12th,  falls  on  Sunday. 
The  celebration  at  Chapel  Hill  will  occur  on  Satur- 
day, the  11th,  at  eleven  o'clock,  A.  M.  ilr.  Josephus 
Daniels,  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  will  deliver  the  ad- 
dress. We  hope  that  every  Alumni  Association  will 
hold  a  meeting  on  either  the  10th  or  11th  and  have 
every  member  present. 

Perhaps  it  would  be  a  good  plan  to  give  these 
meetings  the  nature  of  conferences  on  University 
aifairs,  for  the  purpose  of  making  constructive  sug- 
gestions to  the  University  authorities,  and  devising 
ways  of  helping  the  University  throughout  the  year. 

Would  it  not  be  a  feasible  plan,  as  well  as  a  big- 
plan,  if  the  County  Alumni  Association  should  meet 
a  number  of  times  during  the  year  and  make  them- 
selves clubs  for  the  discussion  of  local  questions  of 
education  and  social  welfare  in  the  county?  The 
University  men,  organized  as  they  are,  could  work 
wonders  in  raising  the  standing  of  the  State  in  some 
of  the  national  lists  of  statistics.  We  hope  you  will 
give  this  idea  full  consideration  in  your  meetings. 
The  University's  usefulness  to  the  people  could  be 
greatly  increased  by  the  definite,  organized  co-ojiera- 
tion  of  our  County  Associations  in  working  out  their 
everyday  practical  problems. 

But  whether  this  or  some  better  idea  meets  your  ap- 
pi'oval  we  want  the  assistance  of  every  Alumnus  in 
making  this  a  year  of  great  achievement  in  every 
field  of  University  endeavor.  Start  it  off  with  a 
rousing  celebration! 

Our  two  main  ideas  for  the  year  arc:  to  bring  the 
institution  into  more  symi^athetic  touch  with  the 
Alumni,  and  to  make  University  influence  directly

timely  filets  of  interest  al>out  ainmni — ehangos  of  residence 
and  oeeiipation,  marriages,  deatlis.  meetings,  achievements, 
etc..  lint  also  to  trace  alumni  of  wliora  the  University  and 
their  classmates  have  no  record  since  their  leaving  college, 
thus  bringing  the  class  histories  up  to  date.  Therefore  items 
r)f  information  are  solicited  from  all  aUimni  and  their  friends 
lint  especially  are  the  secretaries  of  the  associations  and 
tile  secretaries  of  the  classes  requested  to  keep  the  editor 
informiMl.  Notes  on  a  few  alumni  in  each  city  or  county 
and  class  contributed  e^■ery  month  will  be  greatly  appreciated. 


NEW  YORK  NOTES 

A  daughter  was  born  to  A.  Marvin  Carr  in  August.  The 
naine  of  the  newcomer  is  Mary  Evelyn.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Carr 
reside  at  122  East  82nd  Street. 

A.  W.  Haywood,  Jr.,  continues  with  Nicoll,  Anable  &  Lind- 
say at  31  Nassau  Street.  This  is  one  of  the  leading  law  firms 
of  New  York  City;  the  senior  meinber,  Mr.  Nicoll,  was 
forinerly  District  Attorney  of  New  York  County. 

The  New  York  alumni  are  at  present  very  much  inter- 
ested in  the  proposal  to  elect  Dr.  Charles  Baskerville  Presi- 
dent of  the  College  of  the  City  of  New  York.  Dr.  Basker- 
ville is  thought  to  have  a  good  chance  of  being  selected,  on 
account  of  his  notable  services  to  the  institution  in  developing 
his  own  department.  George  B.  McClellan,  former  mayor, 
and  William  H.  Maxwell,  City  Superintendent  of  Schools, 
are  the  others  most  prominently  mentioned  for  the  City  Col- 
lege presidency. 

T.  Holt  Haywood,  who  remains  with  the  commission  firm, 
Victor  &  Achelis,  makes  frequent  trips  to  the  South,  where  he 
visits  the  cotton  mills  whose  output  is  handled  by  his  firm. 

Holland  Thompson,  in  addition  to  his  teaching,  is  active 
as  a  writer  for  the  magazines.  His  series  of  articles  in  the 
Rcviciv  of  Reviews  attracted  wide  notice,  and  he  was  one  of 
the  chief  contributors  to  the  Book  of  Knowledge,  a  reference 
work  which  has  had  a  tremendous  sale  not  only  in  this  coun- 
try but  in  Canada.  Mr.  Thompson  lives  at  102  Waverly  Place, 
in  the  Washington  Square  section. 

The  game  of  golf  has  captured  a  great  many  of  the  New 
York  alumni.  James  A.  Gwyn,  F.  A.  Gudger,  A.  Marvin 
Carr,  R.  H.  Graves,  Louis  Graves,  Louis  Rountree  and  Dr. 
Charles  Baskerville  are  some  of  the  most  enthusiastic  de- 
votees, though  it  is  not  on  record  that  any  of  them  has 
achieved  distinction  at  the  game.  Their  brother  alumnus  in 
Philadelpliia,  Cameron  B.  Buxton,  is  one  of  the  best  golfers 
in  the  country. 

Quincy  Mills,  of  the  Evening  Sun  is  one  of  the  ef- 
fective political  reporters  in  New  York.  He  is  assigned  to 
the  City  Hall,  but  covers  the  entire  political  field.  He  is  a 
clever  and  accurate  writer,  and  has  the  gift  of  making  friends 
among  the  men  who  are  the  sources  of  real  news. 

James  A.  Gwyn  has  been  doing  some  important  work  upon 
a  new  publication  issued  by  the  American  Law  Book  Com- 
pany. Mr.  Gwyn,  at  the  present  writing,  is  again  taking  an 
active  part  in  arranging  for  the  annual  dinner  of  the  New 
York  alumni.

'  pv"SU5INE5S  MEN  are  of  two  classes— the  "HAS-BEENS"  and  the  "IS  NOWS".    The  "HAS- 

y<      BEEN5"  are  the  antiques— the  fellow  who  looks  through  the  business  telescope  from 

J  D)     the  wrong  end,  whose  vision  Is  so  limited  he  can't  keep  out  of  the  way  of  the  street 

cars  nor  the  automobiles;  In  plain  vernacular,  he  Is  asleep  at  the  switch. 

The  "IS  NOW"  Is  the  real  thing:     He  Is  the  fellow  that  "plays  ball",  the  fellow  who  Is  alive 
to  the  main  chance,  who  knows  a  good  thing  when  he  sees  It,  who  always  grasps  an  oppor- 
tunity the  moment  It  knocks.

Many  Elements 
of  Strength 


There  are  many  factors  in  the  streng-th  of  this 
institution,  not  the  least  of  which  is  the  nature  of 
its  policy  and  control. 

Its  policy  is  conservative  but  at  the  same  time 
progressive.  Therefore  the  condition  of  the  institu- 
tion has  always  been  sound  and  its  growth  satisfac- 
tory. 

There  are  other  elements  of  soundness 

IN  THE  WACHOVIA  BANK  AND  TRUST  CO. 

Among  them  are:  Large  capital  and  undivided 
profits,  the  large  number  of  safeguards  provided  by 
the  State  banking  laws,  including  examinations,  re- 
serve requirements,  etc.;  a  board  of  directors  thor- 
oughly conversant  with  its  duties  and  active  in  the 
performance  of  them. 

In  addition  to  all  these  things,  this  bank  derives 
strength  from  the  strength  and  confidence  of  its  de- 
positors, many  of  whom  have  been  customers  of  the 
institution  for  years.
