OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


THE  PRESIDENT'S    The    "President's   Eeport,"    em- 
REPORT  'bracing  reports  from   the  Presi- 

dent, the  Acting  President,  and 
various  University  officers  for  the  year  ending  De- 
cember 1,  1913,  presents  an  extended  and  exceeding- 
ly interesting  story  of  University  development.  The 
opening  of  the  School  of  Education,  the  record  regis- 
tration in  the  Summer  and  regular  sessions,  the 
growth  of  the  Bureau  of  Extension,  the  increased 
circulation  of  the  Review^  the  new  lease  on  life 
taken  by  athletic  interests,  the  heartening  spirit  of 
student  and  faculty  co-operation  running  through  the 
whole  gamut  of  University  life — these  are  some  of 
the  matters  embodied  in  the  account  transmitted  by 
the  Acting  President  to  the  Trustees  which  make  the 
report  for  1913  epochal. 

NUMBERS  The    size  of    the    regular    Freshman 

class — 269 — and  the  total  enrolment 
— 875 — naturally  challenge  first  attention.  The  Uni- 
versity has  drawn  to  its  courses  a  splendid  lot  of 
new  men  and  has  held  an  increased  per  cent  of 
former  students.  Erom  a  count  made  one  month 
after  the  opening  of  the  term  it  was  apparent  that 
23  counties  of  the  State  had  sent  10  or  more  students, 
with  Mecklenburg  leading  with  41.  On  the  other 
hand  Graham,  Clay,  Swain,  Transylvania,  Ruther- 
ford, Mitchell,  Polk,  Brunswick,  Dare,  Currituck, 
Stokes,  and  Avery — twelve  counties — were  not  repre- 
sented. A  revised  count,  which  the  Review  contem- 
plates carrying  in  an  early  issue,  will  show  an  in- 
creased number  of  counties  contributing  more  than 
10  and  fewer  counties  contributing  none.  Of  the 
875  students,  all  excejjt  49  are  residents  of  North 
CaroMna. 

DDD 

BUILDINGS  1913  was  pre-eminently  a  building 
year.  Caldwell  Hall,  the  new  dormi- 
tories, and  the  Peabody  Building  were  all  brought 
into  full  service  for  the  first  time.  The  long-needed 
filtration  plant  and  the  new  dining  hall  were  begun 
and  are  now  well  under  way.  When  the  alumni  re- 
turn at  commencement  it  is  confidently  expected  that 
the  water  in  the  spigots  will  rival  that  from  the 
"  Well "  in  clarity  and  purity,  and  that  the  Alumni 
Luncheon  will  be  served  in  the  spacious  New  Com- 


mons. The  reports  of  the  various  deans  and  ofticers 
itemize  the  additional  equipment  in  the  form  of  ap- 
paratus, books,  etc.,  all  of  which  go  into  the  making 
of  an  increasingly  Greater  University. 

DDD 

NEW  FORCES  Important  as  this  material  growth  has 
AT  WORK  been,  the  getting  under  way  of  the 
School  of  Education  during  the  Fall, 
the  upbuilding  of  the  1913  Summer  School,  and  the 
more  thorough  organization  of  the  work  of  the  Bu- 
i-eau  of  Extension,  represent  an  even  more  valuable 
achievement.  Handicapped  in  previous  years  by  a 
lack  of  quarters  and  teachers  for  the  Department  of 
Education,  the  University  has  been  unable  to  give  the 
schools  of  the  State  anything  like  the  full  service  it 
desired.  With  three  new  instructors  added  and  the 
present  equipment,  it  now  has  the  opportunity  to 
realize  the  ideal  of  service  it  has  long  held. 

DDD 

GETTING  IN  The  Review  shares  the  opinion  ex- 
TOUCH  pressed  by  the  Director  of  the  Summer 

School  that  the  Summer  School  of 
1913  was  very  potent  in  bringing  the  University  into 
sensitive  touch  with  the  State.  Several  very  definite 
impressions  were  made  upon  the  teacher-students. 
One  was  that  the  University  was  a  genuine  univer- 
sity capable  of  giving  helpful  instruction.  Another, 
that  it  gave  something  which  heartened  the  teachers 
for  the  task  of  educational  uplift  back  home.  Still 
another,  that  the  University  belonged  to  them,  that 
it  was  theirs,  and  that  its  desire  to  stand  behind 
them  in  their  work  was  thoroughly  genuine.  Strong 
in  this  belief,  they  went  back  to  their  schools  and 
homes  with  the  result  that  wherever  they  are  there 
are  outlets  through  which  the  University  can  touch 
the  life  of  the  State. 

nan 

EXTENSION  Through  the  co-operation  of  the  fac- 
ulty, the  Societies,  the  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation, and  the  Greater  Council,  the  University  took 
a  far  step  forward  during  the  year  "  in  making  the 
campus  co-extensive  with  the  bounds  of  the  State." 
The  quotation  is  from  the  Acting  President's  pro- 
gram of  work  as  given  on  Oct.  12.  Expressed  satis- 
tically,  101  lectures  have  been  offered  clubs,  schools 
and  communities  of  the  State  to  be  given  whei'ever

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


vhej  are  demanded.  One  liimdred  high  schools  were 
brought  together  in  the  Debating  Union  contest  of 
last  March  and  150  are  now  preparing  for  the  com- 
ing contest  in  April.  Five  bulletins  issued  in  the 
Extension  series,  and  totaling  15,000  copies,  have 
been  distributed.  Twelve  correspondemee  courses 
have  been  opeu.ed  to  teachers  and  others  who  could 
not  otherwise  secure  instruction  from  the  University. 
Two  State-wide  athletic  meets  were  pi-ovided  for  Sec- 
ondary Schools.  2,000  letters  were  written  by  the 
various  divisions  of  the  Bureau  of  Extension  in  an- 
swer to  inquiries  for  information,  and  12,000  sej)- 
arate  pieces  of  mail,  including  letters,  bulletins,  leaf- 
lets, etc.,  were  sent  out  during  the  twelve  months 
from  the  office  of  the  High  School  Inspector. 

NEEDED  Certain  needs  of   the   University   are 

BUILDINGS  set  forth  in  the  reports.  Among  these 
suitable  buildings  for  Physics,  Elec- 
trical Engineerino-  Civil  Engineerino-  Geologv, 
Pharmacy,  and  the  Y.  M.  C.  A,  are  most  pressing. 
For  years  the  laboratory  quarters  of  the  departments 
mentioned  have  been  in  the  basement  of  the  adminis- 
tration building  or  in  buildings  poorly  adapted  to  the 
best  grade  of  work. 

nnn 

CORRELATION  ^\^  second  need  mentioned  in  the  re- 
OF  COURSES  j^orts,  one  which  is  fundamental, 
and  to  which  the  attention  of  the 
University  has  previously  been  called,  is  that  of  so 
correlating  the  courses  now  offered  liy  the  University, 
the  Summer  School,  and  the  correspondence  division 
as  to  enable  students  pursuing  them  to  receive  def- 
iE.ite  credits  according  to  the  character  of  the  courses 
taken.  For  work  done  both  in  the  (Correspondence 
and  Summer  courses,  three  or  four  different  kinds 
of  credits  should  be  given.  To  begin  with,  an  arrange- 
ment should  be  perfected  with  the  State  Department 
of  Education  whereby  work  completed  in  certain 
courses  should  entitle  those  completing  them  to  cer- 
tificates which  would  admit  them  to  positions  of  a 
specified  character  in  the  public  schools.  Work  com- 
pleted in  other  courses  should  be  accepted  by  the 
University  for  entrance,  while  work  in  still  other 
courses  should  lead  to  regular  University  credits. 
In  addition  to  this,  as  the  system  is  developed,  work 
extending  over  as  many  as  four  Summer  sessions  in 
graduate  subjects  should  lead,  in  the  case  of  gradu- 
ates of  reputable  colleges,  to  the  degree  of  A.  il.  If 
need  be,  the  courses  leading  to  this  degree  could  be 
confined  largely  to  those  given  by  the  School  of  Edu- 
cation. 

With  the  present  appropriation  of  $2,000  for  the 


Summer  School  and  the  limited  number  of  corres- 
pondence courses  offered,  it  is  probable  that  not  much 
can  be  done,  but  the  fact  that  study  at  Columbia 
University  during  the  Summer  session  may  be  count- 
ed for  an  advanced  degree,  constitutes  one  of  the 
chief  reasons — there  are  others  of  course — why  one 
hundred  jVorth  Carolina  teachers  go  there  annually 
and  many  others  go  to  Knoxville  and  Charlottesville, 
where  valuable  credits  are  also  given,  instead  of  at- 
tending the  Summer  School  of  Chapel  Hill.  Such 
an  arrangement  will  save  North  Carolina  teachers 
money,  in  that  expenses  are  lower  in  Chapel  Hill 
than  in  New  York;  a  serious,  high-minded  body  of 
students  v,-ill  be  brought  to  the  University  for  con- 
tinuous work;  and  the  University  will  have  an  op- 
portunity to  come  into  such  vital  contact  with  prin- 
cipals and  superintendents  now  not  reached,  that  it 
can  exert  upon  the  public  school  work  of  the  State 
a  many  fold  greater  influence  than  it  is  exerting 
today. 

nnn 

A  MEDIUM  OF  Still  another  need,  one  hitherto 
COMMUNICATION  nnexpresed,  has  been  presented — 
the  need  of  a  medium  of  com- 
munication through  which  the  University  can  give, 
direct,  an  account  of  its  work  to  the  people.  This 
need  is  voiced  b_y  the  Schools  of  Ap]ilied  Science  and 
iledicine  \n  relation  to  work  in  various  courses  and 
is  strongly  felt  by  the  Bureau  of  Extension,  though  it 
was  not  expressed.  An  analysis  of  the  publications 
going  from  the  University'  will  show  that  they  are 
(a)  technical  and  scholarly,  like  Studies  in  Philol- 
ogy;  (b)  official,  like  the  Catalogue ;  and  (c) 
special,  like  the  High  School  Bulletin  and  the  Bul- 
letins of  the  Bureau  of  Extension.  The  Rkview,  to 
be  sure,  goes  to  the  alumni  (1,500  of  the  7,000  !),  and 
the  daily  press  recounts  the  purely  news  features, 
but  the  University  has  no  medium  through  which  it 
can  go  directly  to  the  people  by  whom  it  is  supported 
and  to  whom  it  would  render  full  scrxace.  The  an- 
swer to  this  need  is  a  live,  popular,  University  publi- 
cation issued  regularly  and  with  sufficient  frequency 
to  keep  the  work  before  the  people.  If  the  iTniver- 
sity,  through  its  officers  and  teachers,  has  informa- 
tion on  public  health,  on  social  service,  on  munici- 
pal and  State  legislation,  on  public  education,  on 
highway  construction,  on  rural  co-operation,  on  a 
hundred  other  things — if  it  has  information  to  give 
and  helpful  suggestions  to  make,  it  should  not  have  to 
depend  u])oii.  classroom  activities,  occasional  or 
technical  publications  and  academic  discussions,  as 
its  sole  means  of  communication,  but  should  offer 
them  direct  to  the  public  through  a  publication  of 
the  character  indicated. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


ALUMNI  Plans  are  already  under  way  for  a  big 

REUNIONS  reunion  at  Commencement.  The  Alum- 
ni Committee  is  now  in  communica- 
tion with  the  classes  of  1864,  1889,  1894,  1904,  and 
1909  which  are  scheduled  to  hold  official  reunions 
this  year.  Other  classes  are  being  urged  to.  hold 
unofficial  meetings,  and  the  suggestion  has  been  made 
of  bringing  1913  back  in.  full  force  although  it  has 
been  away  from  the  Hill  only  one  year. 

Back  in  1911  when  the  i^lans  for  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  General  Alumni  Association  had  been 
adopted  only  a  short  time,  it  was  fi-equently  pre- 
dicted that  within  a  very  few  years  the  campus 
would  be  dotted  with  alumni  tents  during  Commence- 
ment week  and  that  the  "  old  grad,"  with  "  stunts  '' 
similar  to  those  familar  to  many  campuses,  would 
over-run  the  grounds.  That  has  not  happened  yet, 
but  it  can  be  effected  and  it  would  be  wholly  worth 
while.  Virginia  effected  it  last  year  through  the 
local  committee  and  the  class  of  1908  and  Minnesota 
is  planning  it  this  year  and  will  use  the  class  of 
1904  as  the  organizer  and  director  of  all  alumni 
festivities.  Is  there  a  volunteer  among  the  classes 
of  U.  K  C.  ? 

The  presence  of  1913  on  the  campus  in  June,  or 
any  time,  will  bring  joy  to  alma  mater.     1913's  loy- 


alty and  spirit  constitute  one  of  her  most  cherished 
memories. 

nnn 

PROFESSOR      Xhe  announcement  of  the  election  of 
BRANSON         Prof.  E.  C.  Branson  to  the  new  chair 

of  Applied  Economics  and  Rural  Soci- 
ology is  of  signal  importan/^e  to  the  University  and 
the  State.  It  marks  the  further  committment  of  the 
University  to  the  policy  of  directing  its  forces  in 
those  currents  which  lead  to  the  uplift  and  upbuilding 
of  the  Old  North  State.  It  is  a  further  development 
of  the  plan  of  making  the  University  campus  State- 
wide. 

Professor  Branson  comes  admirably  fitted  for  his 
work.  He  is  a  native  Tar  Heel.  He  is  a  skilled, 
effective  educator.  He  is  a  trained  sociologist  and 
has  first  hand  knowledge  of  the  economic  and  social 
conditions  in  the  South.  He  brings  to  the  University 
an  idea  which  he  has  contriI)uted  to  American  educa- 
tion— the  idea  of  having  students  study  minutely  and 
sympathetically  the  economic  and  social  life  of  their 
own  communities  to  the  end  that  when  they  leave 
college  they  will  go  back  to  their  own  i^eople  to  aid 
them  in  the  right  solution  of  all  their  economic  and 
social  questions.  The  State  is  to  be  congratulated  on 
his  coming. 


THE  Y.  M.  C.  A.  UNDER  REVIEW 


The  Greatest  Need  of  this  Wide-Awake  Institution  is  a  New  Building 


The  work  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associa- 
tion has  continued  its  healthy  growth  of  last  year  in 
taking  several  imj)ortant  forward  steps.  Among  the 
first  in  point  of  time  was  the  reception  to  the  now 
men  which  the  Social  Connnittee,  Philip  Woollcott 
and  Francis  Clarkson,  removed  from  a  fruit  ])inicli 
in  the  Association  Lobby  to  a  reception  by  the  whole 
college  in  the  University  Library. 

The  community  interest  and  sustained  energy  of 
Manager  George  Eutslcr  has  caused  the  book  ex- 
change to  grow  into  a  pretty  big  thing,  doing  busi- 
ness not  only  at  the  beginnning  of  each  term  but 
running  through  the  year. 

Bible  Study  Work  has  l)een  organized  in  :i  \erv 
efficient  way  by  Tom  Boushall,  chairnian.  Tliroe 
hundred  and  twelve  men  have  been  enrolled  in  over 
a  score  of  groups  and  have  met  every  Sunday  witli 
an  average  attendance  of  one  hundred  and  fortv  men 


in  the  dormitories,  fraternity,  houses  and  boarding- 
places. 

Walter  Fuller,  in  the  neighborhood  work,  has  kept, 
the  young  life  of  the  campus  in  touch  with  the  rural 
communitiees  within  a  four  mile  radius.  He  has 
caught  the  true  spirit  of  the  social  service  move- 
ment and  has  made  his  department  not  only  a  matter 
of  the  country  Sunday  school  but  of  boys'  clubs  and 
other  rural  organizations  as  well.  Eighteen  men 
have  helped  him  and  his  lieutenant,  B.  F.  Auld,  iu 
making  this  work  go. 

The  weekly  meetings  on  Tuesday  and  Thursday 
nights  have  been  arranged  in  definite  schedules.  Two 
series  were  given  on  Tuesday  nights  in  the  Fall,  the 
first  devoted  to  the  theme  of  "  College  Men  and  Re- 
ligion," and  the  other  to  North  Carolina  problems  of 
taxation,  education,  morals,  health,  conservation,  con- 
stitution and  religion.  The  Thursday  night  meet- 
ings were  short  prayer  meetings  led  liy  students  who 
discussed  the  temptations  and  problems  of  the  cam-

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


pus.  Six  of  these  meetings  were  given  over  to  the 
study  of  negro  life  in  the  South. 

The  negro  work  has  taken  a  long  step  forward.  Tn 
three  negro  Sunday  schools  students  teach  classes. 
A  night  school  is  conducted  five  nights  in  the  week 
for  the  negro  Iwys  who  are  unable  to  go  to  day  school. 
Ten  students  are  engaged  in  this  work  and  have  an. 
average  class  of  fifteen  boys. 

Two  hundred  and  five  dollars  have  been  sent  to 
date  to  the  Xew  York  office  for  the  Barnett  mission 
fund.  Chairman  House  and  his  assistant.  Collier 
Cobb,  Jr.,  expect  to  send  another  large  check  later  in 
the  term.  This  fund,  which  goes  into  the  work  of 
Eugene  Barnett,  at  the  great  student  centre.  Hang- 
chow,  China,  will  perhaps  go  further  in  its  perma- 
nent results  both  actively  and  reflexly  than  any  equi\-- 
alent  amount  of  money  that  goes  from  Chapel  Hill 
this  year.  A  new  and  deeper  impulse  is  given  the 
work  here  by  this  giving  to  the  needs  of  young  China 
and  the  sympathies  of  the  student  body  are  -widened 
with  the  vision  of  the  mission  movement  which  seeks 
to  save  the  world  through  the  ideals  and  personality 
of  Christ.  The  enthusiasm  of  the  five  Kansas  City 
delegates  has  not  only  called  attention  to  the  value  of 
the  Barnett  fund  but  has  also  awakened  interest  in 
the  whole  Student  Volunteer  Movement  for  the  evan- 
gelization of  the  world. 

The  financial  system  of  the  Association,  which 
was  put  on  a  good  basis  by  Treasurer  Lee  Wiggins 
last  year,  has  been  reorganized  with  even  greater 
efficiency.     Dr.  L.  R.  Wilson,  of  the  faculty,  at  the 


request  of  the  general  secretary  and  the  student  treas- 
urer, consented  to  serve  as  active  advisory  treasurer. 
All  monies  however  small  are  checked  out  by  the 
treasurer  and  countersigned  by  Dr.  Wilson.  Every 
bill  is  scrutinized  by  him  and  paid  u]ion  his  approval. 
Receipts  are  also  given  for  all  monies  received  and 
are  required  for  all  monies  paid  out. 

Whether  the  Association  will  come  out  even  or  not 
cannot  yet  be  said.  Many  improvcMuents  have  been 
made  in  the  appearance  and  the  upkeep  of  the  build- 
ing and  aggressive  moves  have  been  made  in  the 
conduct  of  the  several  departments.  The  integrity 
of  the  financial  system  and  the  soundness  of  the  work 
itself  are  due  to  the  fine  spirit  of  co-operation  be- 
tween the  faculty  and  the  students.  The  members  of 
the  faculty  have  given  their  thought  and  money  to 
the  success  of  the  work  and  the  students  have  worked 
gladly  and  tirelessly.  President  J.  E.  Holmes  has 
about  him  a  splendid  cabinet  of  workers  in  H.  S. 
Willis,  W.  P.  Fuller.  T.  C.  Boushall,  R  E.  Parker. 
F.  0.  Clarkson,  .J.  E.  Turlington,  G.  W.  Eutsler,  R. 
B.  House,  P.  W.  Woollcott,  .T^\.  Holmes,  L.  H.  Ran- 
son  and  C.  E.  Ervin. 

Everywhere  the  need  is  felt  for  a  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
building  costing  not  less  than  $75,000  and  equipped 
to  be  a  real  student  centre.  The  present  cabinet 
started  quietly  in  October  a  movement  which  looks 
to  the  erection  of  such  a  building.  Seventy-five  thou- 
sand dollars  sounds  like  a  dream  but  the  need  is  big 
enough  to  make  the  dream  come  true  in  the  present 
college  generation. 


LITERARY  SOCIETY  ACTIVITIES 


Four  Hundred  Students  Train  for 

The  month  of  February  finds  the  "  Di  "  and 
"  Phi  "  Societies  in  the  midst  of  their  debating  ac- 
tivities and  preparations  for  this  year.  In  the  matter 
of  inter-collegiate  debates,  a  ti'iangle  has  been  formed 
consisting  of  the  University  of  ISTorth  Carolina,  the 
University  of  Virginia,  and  Johns  Hojikins  Univer- 
sity, for  a  triangular  debate  on  April  18th.  The 
query  is  "  Resolved,  that  the  political  interests  of 
the  United  States  demand  the  abandonment  of  the 
Monroe  Doctrine."  Each  University  will  put  out 
two  teams,  one  on  the  affirmative  and  the  other  on  the 
negative.  Carolina  will  have  the  negative  against 
Virginia  and  the  affirmative  against  Johns  Hopkins. 
The  debates  will  all  be  held  on  neutral  grounds ;  Car- 
olina and  Virginia  will  meet  at  Baltimore,  Carolina 
and  Johns  Hopkins  at  Charlottesville,  and  Virginia 
and  Johns  Hopkins  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Already  a  representative  number  of  students  arc  at 


Leadership  in  Public  Discussion 

woi-k  preparing  to  enter  the  preliminaries  for  these 
debates.  Any  student  of  the  University  who  is  a 
member  of  either  society  is  eligible  to  enter  the  pre- 
liminary contests.  Usually  those  who  compete  for 
places  on  the  teams  come  from  the  Junior  and  Senior 
classes,  and  the  Law  School.  In  the  thirty-seven  de- 
bates that  have  been  engaged  in  by  Carolina  with 
other  Universities,  from  Pennsylvania  to  Tulaue  and 
Vanderbilt,  twenty-seven  have  been  victories  for  Car- 
olina. Out  of  the  last  twelve  debates,  only  one  has 
been  lost.  The  winnin.g  of  a  place  on  a  debating  team 
is  an  honor  that  is  highly  prized  and  much  striven 
for  by  University  students.  The  debates  themselves 
are  events  that  are  not  surpassed  in  importance  and 
universal  interest  by  anything  that  happens  on  the 
campus  during  the  course  of  the  year.  The  debates 
this  Spring  with  Virginia  and  Johns  Hopkins  are

being  looked  forward  to  with  eagerness  by  the  student 
body. 

HIGH   SCHOOL   ACTIVITIES 

Just  at  this  time,  too,  interest  is  gathering  not 
only  in  Chapel  Hill,  but  all  over  the  State  in.  the  ap- 
proaching State-Avide  contest  of  the  High  School 
Debating  Union.  The  effect  of  the  extension  of  the 
societies'  work  last  year  to  the  high  schools  is  seen  in 
an  active  interest  in  debating  in  almost  any  school 
that  might  be  selected  in  ?^orth  Carolina.  Already 
one  hundred  and  fifty  high  schools  have  enrolled  in 
the  Union,  and  have  been  arranged  in  triangles  for 
debates  on  March  20th.  All  the  schools  which  win 
both  of  their  debates  in  this  contest  will  send  both 
teams  to  Chapel  Hill  on.  April  3rd  to  take  part  in  the 
final  contest.  To  the  school  winning  out  finally  will 
be  awarded  the  Aycock  ilemorial  Cup,  the  prize 
which  has  been  generously  contributed  to  the  Union 
by  the  inter-collegiate  debaters  of  the  University. 
This  cuji  was  awarded  last  year  to  the  Pleasant  Car- 
den  High  School,  of  Guilford  County. 

The  query  that  will  be  discussed  by  all  of  these 
schools  is,  "  Eesolved,  That  the  Constitution  of  North 
Carolina  should  be  so  amended  as  to  allow  the  Initi- 
ative and  Referendum  in  State-wide  legislation."  A 
considerable  amount  of  material  on  this  question,  in- 
cluding one  sixty-page  extension  series  publication 
devoted  exclusively  to  a  study  of  the  Initiative  and 
Referendum,  and  several  thousand  Congi-essional 
speeches  and  documents,  has  been  sent  to  the  schools 
from  Chapel  Hill.  The  sup])ort  given  to  the  move- 
ment by  the  school  men  and  the  active  interest  in 
debating  and  discussion  of  public  questions  all  over 
North  Carolina  are  an  abundant  justification  of  the 
wisdom  of  the  Societies  in  extcmding  their  work  to 
the  high  schools  which  form  the  lower  part  of  the 
State's  educational  system.  Every  school  is  intent 
upon  bringing  the  Aycock  Cup  home,  and  there  is  no 
doubt  but  that  a  warm  and  interesting  contest  will  be 
staged  in  Xorth  Carolina  on  the  dates  of  March  20th 
■A\\i\  April  3rd. 

THK    SOCIETIES   ON    THE    CAMPUS 

The  inter-collegiate  debates  rest  for  their  support 
and  for  the  training  of  their  participants  upon  the 
inter-society  and  intra-society  debates.  There  ar(> 
three  inter-society  debates  held  every  year.  These 
are  the  Soph-Junior,  held  in  December;  the  Fresh- 
Soph,  held  in  A])ril ;  and  the  Commencement  debate, 
held  on  Tuesday  night  of  Commeiicement  week. 
These  debates  are  usually  close  and  always  warmly 
contested.  At  present  the  interest  centers  mostly  in 
the  Fresh-Soph,  and  the  Commencement  debates. 
Two  Juniors  from  each  Society  represent  their  So- 
ciety   respectively    in   the    ComniPTicement    debate. 


To  the  best  speaker  on  the  winning  side  in  this  debate 
the  Bingham  IMedal  is  awarded.  Beginning  in  1912, 
the  Carr  Medal  in  oratory  has  been  contested  for  dur- 
ing Junior  Week  by  two  Juniors  chosen  in  compe- 
tition from  each  Society'.  The  places  on  all  of  these 
teams  are  filled  in  competitive,  preliminary  contests. 

Besides  these  inter-society  contests,  a  Freshman 
Deliate  is  held  separately  in  each  Society.  In  both 
societies  the  final  speakers  are  selected  in  competiti\'e 
contests.  In  the  final  contest  in  the  Philanthropic 
Society  there  are  two  speakers  to  a  side,  and  the  man 
making  the  best  speech  is  awarded  a  prize  of  ten  dol- 
lars. The  Dialectic  Society  provides  for  four  speakers 
to  a  side,  and  gives  a  distinctive  gold  clasp  ]nn  to  the 
man  who  makes  the  best  speech. 

Regular  debates  are  held  in  the  two  Societies  on 
Friday  and  Saturday  nights  of  each  week.  Only  the 
si^eakers  are  required  to  attend  the  Friday  night  meet- 
ings. Membership  is  not  compulsory,  but  notwith- 
standing this  fact,  the  greater  number  of  the  students 
join  one  or  the  other  of  the  societies  and  find  in  them 
what  is  considered  by  many  as  the  best  training  pro- 
vided at  the  University.  From  early  times  those 
from  the  East  have  joined  the  Philauthroi)ic  Society, 
and  those  from  the  West  have  joined  the  Dialectic 
Society. 


UNIVERSITY  LECTURE  COURSE 

In  this,  the  second  year  in  which  the  University 
has  supplied  a  course  of  public  lectures  for  the  benefit 
and  i^leasure  of  students  and  faculty,  the  com- 
mittee has  again  sought  to  secure  variety  of  in- 
terest, as  well  as  high  excellence  in  subject  at 
presentation.  Owing  in  large  measure  to  the 
alterations  in  the  dates  originally  set  for  the  Japan- 
ese Exchange  Lectures  and  the  McNair  Lectures,  it 
was  found  difficult  to  secure  open  available  dates  for 
the  University  Lectures.  The  lectures  which  have 
already  been  delivered  are  Joel  Chandler  Hams  and 
the  Uncle  Remus  Stories,  by  Mr.  R.  T.  Wyche,  Pres- 
ident of  the  National  Story-Tellers  League,  on  No- 
vember 24,  1913;  and  Dr.  Gaillard  Hunt,  Chief  of 
tlie  MSS.  Division,  Library  of  Congress,  on  .lanuary 
16,  1914.  On  March  25,  the  famous  physician  and 
popular  writer.  Dr.  Woods  Hutchison,  will  speak 
here;  and  in  May,  Dr.  Joseph  A.  Holmes,  Director 
of  the  Bureau  of  Mines,  who  has  recently  visited 
Alaska  in  the  interest  of  the  U.  S.  Government,  will 
speak  on  "  Our  Great  Northwestern  Empire."  A 
consistent  and  prolonged  effort  has  been  made  to 
secure  Alfred  Noyes,  one  of  the  greatest  living  poets ; 
and  the  hope  is  still  advanced  that  he  may  visit  the 
institution  this  Spring.

University  acting  in  his  stead  and  by  his  request)  and  with 
the  approbation  of  the  Director. 

3.  A  student  who  was  in  attendance  upon  the  University

University  is  a  representative  student  and  enjoys  special 
honor  in  thus  representing  the  Universit}',  this  privilege 
shall  be  withheld  from  any  student  whose  scholastic  standing 
is  discreditable.  A  preliminary  report  of  the  scholastic

quire a  pledge  in  writing  of  the  applicant,  certifying  on  his 
honor  that  he  has  never  accepted,  directly  or  indirectly, 
remuneration,  compensatory  gift,  valuable  consideration,  or 
promise  thereof,  for  his  athletic  services,  and  that  he  is  in 
the  proper  and  strict  sense  of  the  word  an  amateur  player  in 


collegiate  athletic  sports,  before  the  Committee  endorses  his 
application. 

10.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Graduate  Manager,  the 
Head  Coach,  the  President  and  the  Treasurer  of  the  Athletic 
Association,  the  members  of  the  Athletic  Council,  the  Direc- 
tor of  the  Gymnasium,  and  the  Manager  and  the  Captain  of 
the  team  concerned  to  furnish  the  Faculty  Committee  on 
Athletics,  on  request,  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  each 
member  of  an  athletic  team  is  above  their  suspicion  as  to 
liis  eligibility  to  represent  the  University  as  an  amateur  player 
before  such  player  shall  be  allowed  to  take  part  in  any  contest. 

11.  No  student  who  has  been  a  member  of,  or  substitute 
member  of,  the  football  or  baseball  team  of  another  college

said  term. 

Note  I.  The  term  "substitute"  is  interpreted  to  mean  a 
student  who  has  taken  part  in  two  or  more  inter-collegiate 
contests. 

Note  2.  The  term  "college"  is  hereby  interpreted  to  mean 
any  college  named  in  Table  28  of  the  Report  of  the  U.  S. 
Commissioner  of  Education  for  1902,  which  has  not  fewer 
than  150  male  students  of  collegiate  grade  recorded  in  the

college  year  preceding  the  applicant's  entrance  into  the  Uni- 
versity.

sity, and  who  receives  remuneration  therefrom,  shall  be  a 
member  of  any  athletic  team   representing  the  University. 

13.  The  maximum  period  of  eligibility  for  baseball  and 
fuotball  shall  be  four  years.  In  estimating  the  period  of 
eligibility  the  years  of  baseball  and  football  shall  both  be 
taken  into  account ;  but  in  no  case  shall  a  player  be  charged 
with  four  years'  athletic  work,  unless  at  least  four  calendar 
years  have  elapsed  from  the  time  he  entered  upon  his  first 
intercollegiate  contest,  omitting  from  the  calculation  any 
sessional  intermission  by  non-attendance.  In  case  the  player 
does  not  participate  in  either  baseball  or  football  during  a 
college  session,  such  session  shall  not  be  counted,  but  if  such 
player  does  play  on  either  the  baseball  or  football  team  dur- 
ing any  intermediate  session,  this  shall  count  as  if  the  player 
had  played  on  both  teams  during  such  session. 

14.  No  student  of  this  University  shall  be  eligible  for  any 
athletic  team  who  shall  have  played  upon,  or  been  a  member 
or  substitute  member  of  any  of  the  professional  or  league 
teams  in  Classes  A,  B,  C,  and  D,  in  the  publication  of  the 
American  Sports  Company.  To  the  list  of  professional  teams 
thus  prescribed  shall  be  added  all  league  teams  in  any  state 
or  states,  which  the  leading  university  of  such  state  or  states 
declares  professional  and  from  which  it  debars  its  own 
players.

15.  The  Faculty  Committee  on  Athletics  is  directed  to  as- 
sume responsible  charge  of  the  details  of  the  Athletic  situation 
and  to  permit  the  playing  of  intercollegiate  games  with  such 
colleges  only  as  express  a  general  conformity  with  the  code

12.  No  "coach"  not  an  alumnus  and  no  "trainer"  not  an 
officer  of  the  University,  shall  be  employed  for  the  purpose 
of  instructing  or  training  any  athletic  team  in  this  University. 

13.  The  members  of  any  athletic  team  may  be  allowed  not 
more  than  eight  days  leave  of  absence  from  the  University 
for  the  purpose  of  engaging  in  athletic  contests;  but  no 
student  who  is  a  member  of  more  than  one  athletic  team  shall 
be  allowed  more  than  sixteen  days  during  the  entire  season 
for  such  purpose. 

14.  "Training  tables"  for  football,  baseball,  and  track 
teams   are  hereby  abolished. 

15.  No  student  of  this  University  shall  be  eligible  for  any 
athletic  team  who  shall  have  played  upon  or  been  a  member 
or  substitute  member  of  any  of  the  professional  or  league 
teams  named  in  classes  A,  B,  C,  and  D,  in  the  publication  of 
the  American  Sports  Company.  To  the  list  of  professional 
teams  thus  prescribed  shall  be  added  all  league  teams  in  any 
state  or  states,  which  the  leading  University  of  such  state 
or  states  declares  professional  and  from  which  it  debars  its 
own  players. 

16.  The  terin  "college"  as  used  in  the  Faculty  Regulations 
concerning  athletics  is  hereby  interpreted  to  mean  any  college 
named  in  Table  28  of  the  Report  of  the  U.  S.  Commissioner 
of  Education.  In  case  such  faculty  fails  to  distinguish  be- 
tween students  of  collegiate  and  preparatory  grade,  the  presi-

or  to  authorize  an  official  decision  of  the  members  belonging 
to  each  head. 

17.  The  term  "substitute"  is  interpreted  to  mean  a  student 
who  has  taken  part  in  an   intercollegiate   contest. 

18.  The  Faculty  Committee  on  .\thletics  is  directed  to  as- 
sume responsible  charge  of  the  details  of  the  athletic  situation 
and  to  permit  the  playing  of  intercollegiate  games  with  such 
colleges  only  as  express  a  general  conformity  with  the  code  of 
rules  adopted  by  this  faculty.  The  term  "general  conformity" 
is  interpreted  to  mean  conformity  in  regard  to  period  of 
residence,  maximum  period  of  eligibility  and  amateur  stand- 
ing. 

If).  The  maximum  period  of  eligibility  for  baseball  or  foot- 
ball shall  be  four  years.  In  estimating  the  period  of  eligibility 
the  years  of  baseball  and  football  shall  both  be  taken  into 
account ;  but  in  no  case  shall  a  player  be  charged  with  four 
years'  athletic  work,  unless  at  least  four  calendar  years  have 
elapsed  from  the  time  he  entered  upon  his  inter-collegiate 
contest  omitting  from  the  calculation  any  sessional  inter- 
mission by  non-attendance.  In  case  the  player  does  not  par- 
ticipate in  either  baseball  or  football  during  a  college  session, 
such  session  shall  not  be  counted,  but  if  such  player  does  play 
on  either  the  baseball  or  the  football  team  during  any  inter-

mediate  session,  this  shall  count  as  if  the  player  had  played 
on  both  teams  during  such  session. 

THE   KULES    COMPAEED 

A  comparison  of  these  regulations  shows  the  de- 
sired identity  in  the  three  essential  requirements  in 
regard  to  the  period  of  residence,  maximum  period 
of  eligibility  and  amateur  standing.  The  regulations 
concerning  the  period  of  residence  exhibit  a  slight 
difference.  Virginia  requires  an  athlete  from  an- 
other college  to  have  been  a  student  at  Virginia  five 
months  in  the  preceding  year  in  order  to  qualify  in 
the  current  year.  Carolina  requires  such  a  student 
to  have  registered  for  his  residence  within  one  week 
after  the  opening  of  the  spring  terui  in  order  to 
qualify  in  the  current  year.  This  dilference  is  due 
to  the  difference  in  the  time  of  the  commencement  of 
the  spring  term  and  means  that  at  Virgiuia  the 
athlete  must  have  registei'ed  by  Januai-y  twelfth  and 
at  Carolina  by  February  the  fifth  of  the  preceding 
year. 

The  other  points  of  difference  grow  out  of  less 
material  requirements  adapted  to  the  particular  con- 
ditions of  each  institution.  The  Virginia  athletic 
system  is  so  well  established  as  not  to  need  a  profes- 
sional coach.  Carolina  is  in  the  process  of  establish- 
ing the  Princeton  system  and  Princeton  coaches  are 
indispensable  to  its  establishment.  Virginia  has 
abolished  the  training  table  for  all  forms  of  athletics, 
Carolina  still  retains  it  for  football.  Other  less  im- 
portant differences  have  to  do  with  the  consent  of 
parents  or  guardian  to  a  student's  participation  in 
athletic  contests,  the  definition  of  a  substitute,  and 
the  number  of  days  for  which  leave  of  absence  is 
granted  during  a  season. 

On  the  important  point  of  scholarship,  the  differ- 
ence is  in  the  definiteness  of  the  requirement  in  the 
Carolina  regulations.  The  scholarship  requirement 
at  Virginia  debars  a  player  for  class  standing  that  is 
discreditable  in  the  opinion  of  the  president  and  the 
faculty  and  futhermore  applies  the  residence  rule 
to  students  who  enter  with  credits  amounting  to  less 
than  ten  units.  The  scholarship  requirement  at  Car- 
olina debars  a  player  who  has  not  jjassed  on  eight 
hours  of  work  in  the  previous  year  or  who  is  deficient 
in  a  majority  of  his  studies  in  mid-term. 

The  adoption  of  these  rules  mark  an  advance  in 
representative  sport  at  Carolina.  However,  we  are 
not  abreast  of  Vanderbilt  and  Georgia,  two  of  our 
coming  rivals  and  leaders  in  the  athletics  of  the 
lower  South.  A  glance  at  the  regulations  of  the 
Eastern  universities  and  at  the  rules  of  the  Western 
Conference,  shows  how  far  Virginia  and  Carolina 
have  yet  to  go  in  order  to  secure  the  highest  guaran- 
tees of  pure  sportsmanship. 


In  the  S.  I.  A.  A.  the  nine  months  rule  against 
athletes  from  other  colleges  is  in  force  and  fourteen 
units  are  required  for  any  first  year  man  to  be  elig- 
ible. In  the  representative  universities  of  the  East 
and  the  West,  onJy  undergraduates  are  eligible  who 
have  completed  a  full  year's  college  work  in  residence 
the  i^revious  year  and  the  maximum  period  of  eligi- 
bility is  limited  to  three  years.  Scholarship  require- 
ments are  enforced  for  failure  the  jirevious  year  and 
for  deficiency  in  the  term.  Little  or  no  concession  is 
uiade  for  laboratory  work.  Training  tables  are 
abolished.  Soliciting  athletes  by  any  athletic  official 
of  the  college  is  ahsolutely  under  the  ban.  Amateur 
athletics  is  promoted  at  every  i^bssible  point.  All 
over  the  country  there  is  a  forward  movement  for 
cleaia  and  representative  sport. 


INTER-SCHOLASTIC    ATHLETIC    CONTESTS 

Announceuieut  has  been  made  of  two  events  which 
will  prove  important  in  the  athletic  life  of  Xorth 
Carolina  secondary  and  high  schools  this  Spring. 
These  are  the  second  annual  inter-scholastic  track 
meet,  to  he  held  at  Chapel  Hill  on  April  3rd  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Greater  Council  and  Alumni  Ath- 
letic Association  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina, 
and  the  first  annual  championship  contest  in  baseball, 
to  be  held  at  Chapel  Hill  on  some  date  to  be  deter- 
mined later,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Alumni  Ath- 
letic Association  of  the  University. 

All  secondary  schools  of  North  Carolina,  however 
supported,  are  eligible  to  send  representatives  to 
contest  in  the  inter-scholastic  track  meet.  The  events 
of  the  meet  will  be:  One-hundred-yard  dash,  440-yard 
run,  880-yard  run,  one-mile  run,  120-yard  low  hur- 
dles, high  juni]),  broad  jump,  pole  vault,  twelve-pound 
shot  put,  twelve-pound  hammer  throw,  and  a  relay 
race. 

AWAED   CtJPS 

To  the  school  which  wins  the  largest  number  of 
points  a  championship  cup  will  be  awarded.  This 
cup  at  present  is  in  the  possession  of  the  High  Point 
Pligh  School,  the  winner  of  the  meet  last  year.  The 
school  which  wins  the  relay  race  will  be  awarded  a 
cup.  To  every  contestant  winning  a  first  place  in  any 
event,  a  silver  medal  will  be  awarded,  and  to  every 
contestant  winning  a  second  place  a  bronze  medal 
will  be  awarded.  All  contestants  coming  to  Chapel 
Hill  for  the  meet  will  be  entertained  by  the  students 
of  the  University. 

BASEBALL    CONTEST 

For  this  year  the  championship  contest  in  baseball 
is  open  only  to  public  high  schools,  city  and  rural. 
The  committee  at  Chapel  Hill  will  arrange  a  series

of  games  in  a  preliminary  contest  for  all  high  school 
baseball  teams,  city  and  rural,  which  have  up  to  and 
including  May  2ud  won  as  many  as  four  games  from 
teams  representing  schools  of  similar  rank,  and  have 
not  been  defeated.  To  be  eligible  to  enter  this  pre- 
liminary contest  a  school  must  fulfill  the  requirement 
of  having  won  four  games  and  lost  none. 

Throug'h  the  process  of  elimination  in  this  prelimi- 
nary contest,  two  teams  will  be  selected  which  will 
come  to  Chapel  Hill  to  play  the  final  game  for  the 
State  championship.  The  General  Alumni  Athletic 
Association  will  bear  all  expenses,  including  trans- 
portation both  ways  and  hotel  bills,  of  the  two  teams 
selected  for  the  final  contest,  and  will  provide  enter- 
tainment for  these  two  teams  while  they  are  on  the 
Hill.  This  final  game  will  be  jjlayed  some  time  in 
May,  the  exact  date  to  be  determined  later,  after  con- 
sultation with  the  high  school  men  and  teams. 

MOEE   INTEREST  IN   FOOTBALL 

The  championship  contest  in  football  which  was 
carried  to  a  successful  issue  last  fall  was  highly  en- 
couraging and  resulted  in  deei)ening  the  interest  of 
quite  a  number  of  high  schools  in  football.  The  con- 
test in  football,  the  track  meet,  and  the  contest  in 
baseball  are  a  natural  part  of  the  University's  larger 
activities,  particularly  in  the  high  school  life  of  the 
State,  and  they  are  ranked  along  with  the  High 
School  Debating  Union,  in  which  already  more  than 
150  schools  are  enrolled  for  a  state-wide  debating 
tourney  this  Spring. 

The  committee  which  has  in  charge  the  matter  of 
arranging  these  contests  is  composed  of  !N".  W.  Walk- 
er, chairman ;  E.  R.  Rankin,  secretary ;  T.  G.  Tren- 
chard,  C.  E.  Ervin,  Oscar  Leach,  and  2^.  J.  Cartmell.

the  Charlotte  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  two  games  by  the 
scores  of  42  to  32  and  52  to  29.  It  was  really  a  game 
of  Charlotte  against  Charlotte.  Four  of  the  six  Car- 
olina players  were  Charlotte  lads,  the  Long  brothers, 
Carey  Dowd,  and  Preston  Andrews.  The  long  reach 
of  Edwards  and  the  shooting  of  Mehane  Long  and 
Dowd  ran  up  the  score  for  Carolina.

MEETING  OF  THE  TRUSTEES 

The  mid-winter  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
was  held  in  the  Governor's  office  in  Raleigh,  January 
27th,  at  11  A.  M.,  a  large  number  of  the  Board 
and  Acting  President  Graham  being  in  attendance. 
The  following  business  was  transacted. 

The  reports  of  the  President  and  Acting  President, 
conveying  the  reports  of  all  the  officers  of  the  Uni- 
versity, were  presented  and  received.  The  work  of 
the  University  thus  summarized  showed  the  largest 
attendance  in  the  University's  history  and  evidenced 
progress  in  every  department. 

Upon  the  presentation  of  a  letter  from  the  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  asking  for  permission  to  apply  to  John  D. 
Rockefeller  for  $50,000  for  a  new  Y.  M.  C.  A.  build- 
ing, a  resolution  was  passed  pledging  a  sum  of  $600 
annually  to  the  maintenance  of  the  building  in  the 
event  it  was  secured. 

Professor  H.  H.  Williams,  of  the  Department  of 
Philosophy,  was  granted  a  year's  leave  of  absence, 
beginning  September  1,  to  spend  in  study  at  North- 
ern universities. 

Athletics  and  the  Bureau  of  Extension  received 
consideration.  It  was  decided  that  the  matter  of 
resuming  athletic  relations  with  the  A.  &  M.  College 


and  all  other  athletic  questions  involving  eligibility 
rules,  schedules,  etc.,  should  be  left  entirely  in  the 
hands  of  the  faculty.  A  formal  resolution  was  passed 
in  commendation  of  the  work  of  the  Bureau  of  Ex- 
tension. 

$2,000  was  approi^riated  for  the  maintonanco  of 
the  Summer  School  for  1914.

be  similar  to  that  in  which  he  has  been  engaged  in 
Georgia  where  he  originated  the  ''  Georgia  Club  "  or 
"  Know  Your  Homo  State  Club  "  idea  and  gave  it 
such  practical  form  that  it  is  being  widely  adopted 
throughout  the  country.  His  courses  in  the  Uni- 
versity will  be  intensive  studies  of  the  resources,  con- 
ditions, and  tendencies  in  North  Carolina's  economic 
history,  studied  county  by  county.  His  work  will 
supplement  the  present  efficient  work  in  political  sci- 
ence and  economics,  and  Avill  extend  the  University's 
influence  directly  in  helping  sympathetically  and 
scientifically  the  various  counties  in  the  State  in  the 
•solution  of  local  questions.

studies  at  this  University  and  the  University  of  the 
South  Carolina,  has  spoken  before  the  Xorth  Caro- 
lina Teachers'  Assembly,  and  has  delivered  a  series 
of  lectures  before  the  students  of  Columbia  Univer- 
sity. His  M-ork  in  the  field  of  rural  sociology  has 
been  so  distinctive  that  he  has  been  asked  to  serve 
on  various  commissions  of  the  Federal  Government 
and  his  work  with  the  student  groups  of  Georgia  has 
been  made  the  subject  of  a  special  bulletin  issued  by 
the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Education  under  the  title,  "  The 
Georgia  Club.'' 


THE  UNIVERSITY  MAGAZINE 

Under  the  editorship  of  W.  P.  Fuller,  the  Uni- 
versity Magazine  is  this  year  a  genuinely  up-to-date, 
forceful  college  monthly.  It  will  hold  its  own  with 
any  other  monthly  which  reaches  the  exchange  tables 
in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

The  January  nunibor,  attractive  in  cover  and  typo- 
graphy, contains  three  papers  which  are  of  decided 
interest.  The  first  summarizes  the  views  of  religion 
held  by  twenty-one  Juniors  and  fifteen  Seniors;  the 
second  presents  an  admirable  statement  of  the  reasons 
why  the  faculty  committee  on  athletics  can  be  trusted 
to  do  the  right  thing  in  the  administration  of  rules  for 
gridiron  and  diamond  contests;  and  the  third  treats 
historically  and  pictorially  of  the  ups  and  downs  of 
the  Magazine  itself  since  its  beginning  in  1844. 

In  the  last  article,  nine  covers  under  which  the 
Magazine  has  appeared  are  reproduced ;  the  names  of 
those  who  were  instrumental  in  founding  and  re- 
vivifying the  publication  from  time  to  time,  are 
mentioned ;  and  a  running  story  of  its  life  is  given. 
Many  a  former  editor's  name  appears  in  the  history, 
and  its  reading  by  former  students  whom  the  "  Di  " 
and  "  Phi "  honored  with  editorial  offices  will  prove 
of  peculiar  interest. 


DRAMATIC  CLUBS  EASTERN  SCHEDULE 

The  University  Dramatic  Club  is  again  preparing 
to  put  on  its  annual  production.  This  year,  in  an 
effort  to  retain  the  humor  and  general  hilarity 
which  characterized  last  year's  production  of 
"■  What  Happened  to  Jones,"  and,  at  the  same  time,  to 
raise  dramatics  to  a  higher  jjlane  and  produce  a  j)la'' 
worthy  of  a  University  organization,  "■  The  Magis- 
trate "  by  Arthur  W.  Pinero  was  chosen  for  presenta- 
tion. Sir  Arthur  Wing  Pinero  stands  out  as  one  of 
the  most  eminent  of  living  English  dramatists,  and 
bis  play  ''  The  Magistrate  "  is  in  no  way  unworthy  of 
its  author.  It  is  one  of  his  most  characteristic  com- 
edies,— full  of  humor  and  sparkling  with  wit. 

Mr.  W.  P.  M.  Weeks,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  who 
played  "  Prof.  Goody  "  in  last  year's  production  of 
■'  What  Happened  to  Jones,"  is  playing  the  title  rule 
(if  "The  Magistrate."  Those  who  saw  last  year's  play 
will  probably  recall  with  pleasur-e  the  portrayer  of  the 
irrepressible  "  Jones,"  Mr.  Chas.  L.  Coggin,  of  Salis- 
Iniry,  JST.  C.  He  is  this  year  playing  '"Colonel  Lukyn," 
the  role  played  by  John  Drew  in  the  first  American 
production.  Several  others  of  last  year's  cast  are  in 
this  year's  play.  The  members  of  the  cast  are :  W. 
D.  Kerr,  Greensboro;  H.  C.  Conrad,  Pfafftown;  W. 
B.  Pitts,  Charlotte ;  H.  J.  Eenn,  Oxford ;  J.  M.  Cox, 
Hertford;  J.  F.  Pugh,  Elizabeth  City;  C.  A.  Bose- 
man,  Enfield;  H.  M^Blalock,  Raleigh;  E.  B.  Marsh, 
Salisbury;  J.  E.  Hoover,  High  Point;  il.  R.  Dunna- 
gan,  Yadkinville,  and  J.  A.  Capps,  Shelby. 

Before  the  Review  comes  from  press,  the  play  will 
have  had  its  premiere  in  Ohapel  Hill  (February  6th) 
and  will  have  been  jiresented  at  the  State  formal, 
Greensi)oro  (February  7th).  The  manager  of  the 
Club,  ^Ir.  J.  S.  Bryan,  has  succeeded  in  arranging 
the  following  engagements  for  the  eastern  trip  in 
February:  14th,  St.  Mary's,  Raleigh;  I7th,  Wilson; 
18th,  Eastern  Carolina  Training  School,  Greenville; 
]9th,  Newbern;  20th,  Wilmington;  and  21st,  Clinton. 

The  western  trip  will  be  taken  in  A2:)ril,  and  will 
probably  includ(!  Salem  College  (Winston-Salem), 
Charlotte,  Salisbury  and  Statesville. 


CALIFORNIA   CHALLENGES    CAROLINA 

The  Carolina  Uebating  Union  has  recently  had  the 
unex|)ected  pleasure  of  considering  a  challenge  for  a 
series  of  two  debates  with  the  Law  School  of  the 
I'^niversity  of  Southern  California.  It  was  pi'oposed 
that  the  debate  for  1914  be  held  in  Los  Angeles,  in 
which  city  there  is  an  extensive  x^orth  Carolina  Club, 
and  that  the  second  be  held  in  1915  in  North  Caro- 
lina. Engagements  with  other  rivals  at  home  made 
it  imfwssiblo  for  the  Union  to  close  the  contract.

CLIPPINGS  FROM  THE  PRESS 


Resolutions  couiiueuding  the  University  were  pass- 
ed as  follows  by  the  Farmers'  Union  and  its  Edu- 
cational Committee  at  the  Union's  meeting  held  at 
Shelby  iu  December. 

By  the  Union: 

Whereas,  we  note  with  pleasure  that  the  State  Board  of 
Agriculture  has  recommended  that  the  Governor  set  apart  a 
week  in  next  November  as  "Civic  Service  Week,"  for  holding 
local  fairs,  county  school  rallies,  meetings  to  discuss  plans 
for  county  and  neighborhood  improvement,  etc. ;  and  the 
Board  has  recommended  a  conference  of  various  State  insti- 
tutions and  departments  to  consider  plans  for  working  to- 
gether more  effectively  than  ever  before  in  service  to  the 
people  of  the  State,  therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  we  hartily  endorse  both  suggestions  and 
offer  the  co-operation  of  the  State  Union;  and  that  a  com- 
mittee of  three  be  appointed  to  bring  this  action  to  the  atten- 
tion of  the  Governor  and  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 

By  the  Educational  Committee: 

(i.)  We  congratulate  the  State  Union  at  large  upon  the 
splendid  success  it  has  achieved  during  the  past  year  along 
educational  lines.  Perhaps  nothing  has  been  done  in  the 
last  quarter  century  that  will  have  so  far-reaching  an  effect 
upon  the  pattern  and  te.xture  of  the  fabric  of  our  citizenship 
as  the  six-months'  school  law  and  the  compulsory  attendance 
act,  both  of  which  owe  their  passage  to  our  organization. 

(2.)  Especially  do  we  commend  the  State  University  for 
its  recent  effort  along  the  line  of  Country  Life  Work. 


THE  WOMEN'S  CLUBS  CONFER 

The  annual  mid-winter  Council  meeting  of  the 
State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  met  in  Chapel 
Hill,  January  15th  and  16th,  upon  the  invitation  of 
the  Community  Club.  The  General  Secretary  of  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  John  S.  Cansler,  as  a  representative 
of  the  Greater  Student  Council,  met  the  visitors  at 
University  Station.  The  University  kindly  offered 
the  use  of  the  Peabody  Building  for  meetings.  Re- 
ports from  the  officers  of  the  Federation,  from  chair- 
men of  all  departments,  and  of  special  committees 
were  presented  for  discussion ;  and  the  May  meeting 
in  Fayetteville  was  j^'l'^iim'^tl  in  detail.  The  out- 
standing features  of  Dhese  reports  were  the  plea  for 
the  establishment  of  winter  gardens  and  kitchenettes 
in  schools  by  Mrs.  Carter,  Chairman  of  Household 
Economics,  and  the  plan  of  Mrs.  Lingle  to  bring  into 
the  State  a  lecturer  from  the  ^National  Civic  Asso- 
ciation, who  would  deliver  an  illustrated  lecture  on 
civic  improvement,  form  Junior  Civic  leagues  and 
get  the  children  to  work. 

The  Community  Club  held  a  large  meeting  in  the 
Peabody  Auditorium  Thursday  night  at  which  excel- 
lent talks  were  made  by  Miss  Fries,  President  of  the 
Federation,  by  Mrs.  Lingle,  Chairman  of  Civics,  and 
by  Mrs.  Hook,  Chairman  of  Economics.  Fri.day 
night  a  very  beautiful  reception  was  held  in  the  li- 
brary at  which  members  of  the  Council  had  an  op- 
portunity of  meeting  members  of  the  faculty  and  of 
the  Community  Club.  Mrs.  J.  H.  Pratt  gave  a  lunch- 
eon on  Thursday  and  Mrs.  Archibald  Henderson  on 
Friday  and  on  Friday  afternoon  Dr.  Battle  gave 
much  pleasure  by  taking  the  ladies  over  the  campus. 


THE  MUSICAL  CLUBS'  EASTERN  TRIP 

The  Glee  and  Mandolin  clubs  of  the  University 
took  a  three  day  trip  in  the  Eastern  part  of  the  State 
during  the  second  week  in  December.  They  visited 
Goldsboro  on  December  11,  Wilson  on  the  12th,  and 
Raleigh  on  the  13th.  At  each  place  they  were  given 
a  most  cordial  welcome  and  jolly  time  by  the  Alumni 
and  citizens  of  the  town ;  it  would  be  hard  to  say 
where  they  had  the  best  time. 

In  Goldsboro_,  Tom  jSTorwood  and  Guy  Dortch  man- 
aged the  business  part  and  so  well  had  they  performed 
their  task,  that  a  large  and  enthusiastic  audience 
greeted  the  boys  in  the  Opera  House  with  hearty  ap- 
plause for  each  numlaer  presented.  After  the  per- 
formance the  boys  stormed  a  Methodist-bazaar  and 
bought  all  the  chicken  salad  and  boudoir  caps  that 
could  be  had. 

Blake  Applewhite  and  Jim  Hackney  chaperoned 
the  troupe  at  Wilson.    By  the  kindness  and  generosity

of  the  Atlantic  Christian  College,  the  concert  was  held 
in  its  auditorium.  A  goodly  portion  of  the  audience 
was  composed  of  fair  co-eds  whose  generous  applause 
inspired  the  boys  to  do  their  best. 

Saturday  morning,  December  13,  the  musicians 
took  Raleigh  by  storm.  At  the  station  they  were  met 
by  Joe  Boushall  who  escorted  them  to  the  Capital 
Club  where  they  were  entertained  till  dinner.  In  the 
afternoon  they  were  invited  to  a  dance  at  the  Country 
Club  where,  needless  to  say,  a  most  delightful  time 
was  had.  The  concert  was  given  in  the  Auditorium 
and  though  it  was  not  filled,  those  who  were  present 
atoned  for  this  fact  by  the  warm  reception  they  gave 
the  musicians.  It  was  unfortunate  that  the  girls  from 
St.  Mary's  were  detained  'by  an  entertainment  of  their 
own ;  but  the  fair  ones  from  Peace  and  Meredith  were 
present  in  large  numbers. 

At  each  place  the  towns-people  entertained  the 
boys  in  their  homes  who  in  turn  have  only  words  of 
the  highest  praise  to  tell  of  the  hospitality  received 
in  every  case. 

The  Clubs  will  take  their  Spring  trip  during  the 
last  week  of  February  and  expect  to  visit  Winston- 
Salem,  Greensboro,  Hickory,  Lenoir,  Gastonia,  and 
Charlotte.  The  following  is  the  personnel  of  the 
clubs :

It  is  the  purpose  of  this  department  not  only  to  publish  all 
timely  facts  of  interest  about  alumni — changes  of  residence 
and  occupation,  marriages,  deaths,  meetings,  achievements, 
etc..  but  also  to  trace  alumni  of  whom  the  University  and 
their  classmates  have  no  record  since  their  leaving  college, 
thus  bringing  the  class  histories  up  to  date.  Therefore  items 
of  information  are  solicited  from  all  alumni  and  their  friends 
but  especially  are  the  secretaries  of  the  associations  and 
the  secretaries  of  the  classes  requested  to  keep  the  editor 
informed.  Notes  on  a  few  alumni  in  each  city  or  county

GASTONIA 

On  the  evening  of  Tuesday,  Dec.  30,  the  alumni  of  Gaston 
County  met  at  a  banquet  at  the  Falls  House,  Gastonia,  and 
organized  the  Gaston  Alumni  Association  of  the  University 
of  North  Carolina.  The  banquet  was  informal,  the  spirit  of 
comradeship,  humor  and  song  prevailing.  The  University 
songs  were  printed  in  full  in  a  neat  programme.  Mr.  A.  G. 
Mangum,  '93,  was  toastmaster  and  admirably  happy  in  intro- 
ducing the  speakers.  Mr.  John  G.  Carpenter,  Law,  '04,  of 
the  local  bar,  extended  a  hearty  welcome  to  the  visiting 
alumni  present.  Mr.  George  B.  Mason  spoke  on  the  sulijccl 
of  "Athletics  at  Carolina." 

Professor  Marvin  H.  Stacy,  02,  acting  dean  iif  the  Uni- 
versity, was  the  guest  of  honor  and  the  principal  speaker  of 
the  evening.  Professor  Stacy's  subject  was  "The  Obliga- 
tions of  the  University  to  the  State."  He  compared  the  old 
ideal  of  a  University  as  emljodied  by  Ezra  Cornell  in  the 
institution  which  bears  his  name  with  the  newer  ideal.  The 
present  day  University  will  not  only  furnish  opportunity  for 
instruction  and  investigation  in  any  line  of  work  and  study, 
but  must  devote  itself  to  the  social  service  of  the  State, 
extending  its  influence,  its  specialized  knowledge,  in  immediate 
service,  to  every  nook  and  corner  of  the  State.  The  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina  had  passed  through  a  wonderful 
transformation  during  the  past  fifteen  years  in  material  equiji- 
ment,  size  of  student  liody  and  faculty,  but  above  all  in  its 
realization  of  its  dut\-  to  the  State  and  the  people  out- 
side its  campus.  The  University  was  realizing  this  new 
awakening  not  simply  on  paper  but  by  far  reaching 
activities;  the  creation  of  the  Department  of  Education;  the 
extension  of  the  Library  in  making  it  accessible  through 
express  and  parcel  post,  through  its  bulletins  and  book-lists 
of  special  subjects;  the  extension  of  the  lecture  courses  and 
the  creation  of  the  correspondence  courses ;  the  organization 
of  the  High  School  Debating  Union  and  other  activities

GOLDSBORO 

The  annual  banquet  of  the  Wayne  County  Alumni  Associa- 
tion of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  was  held  on  the 
evening  of  Dec.  30  in  the  Elks'  Club  of  Goldsboro.  An 
admirable  feature  of  this  meeting  of  the  Association  was 
the  presence  by  invitation  of  many  students  of  the  county 
and  city  High  Schools.  The  credit  for  this  idea  seems  due 
to  the  Wayne  County  Club  at  the  University  and  might 
he  imitated  by  other  Associations  with  valuable  results  to 
the  University  and  to  the  prospective  college  students. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW

Mr.  Matt  H.  Allen,  'o-(,  presided  as  toastmaster,  tactfully 
postponing  speechmaking  until  cigars  and  coffee.  This  plan 
of  procedure  not  only  lessens  formality  but  gives  opportunity 
for  renewing  auld  acquaintance  and  sharpening  reminis- 
cences. 

Mr.  Wm.  S.  Bernard,  'oo,  of  the  University  faculty  was 
the  lirst  speaker,  his  subject,  "The  Newer  University  in 
Social  Service  to  the  State."  He  said  that  a  new  birth,  a 
new  ideal  had  come  into  University  activity  with  the  en- 
thusiasm of  a  religious  revival,  quickening  faculty  and  students 
alike.  This  ideal  was,  in  the  apt  words  of  Acting  President 
Graham,  "To  make  the  campus  co-extensive  with  the  State," 
to  distribute  and  apply  the.  knowledge  and  methods  already 
gained  in  the  laboratories  and  lecture  rooms  to  the  imme- 
diate and  imminent  needs  of  the  people,  to  render  services 
in  civic,  rural,  social  and  educational  endeavor.  This  was 
no  sentimental  ideal  or  typewritten  programme,  but  already 
a  well  oiled  piece  of  machinery  turning  out  results 
under  the  brand  University  Extension.  University  Extension 
comprised  thus  far   six  phases  of  activity: 

1.  Correspondence  Courses  on  any  subject  offered  to  any 
qualified  to  take  them. 

2.  Lectures  by  members  of  the  faculty  on  any  subject, 
delivered  anywhere  in  the  State  free  of  all  charge  save 
traveling  expenses. 

3.  Access  to  the  University  library  by  means  of  express 
and  parcel  post. 

4.  The  Statewide  High  School  Debating  Union  organ- 
ized by  the  Students  of  the  University. 

5.  The  Inter-high  school  football  and  track  athletic  con- 
tests, also  a  student  endeavor. 

6.  The  County  Clubs  at  the  University  and  their  aim  to 
render  service  to  their  respective  counties  by  "social  and 
economic  surveys."  But  however  much  or  little  the  definite 
service  rendered,  the  great  fact  for  congratulation  was  the 
giving  back  to  the  State  in  heart  and  purpose  her  greatest 
institution. 

Mr.  Bernard  was  followed  by  Coach  T.  G.  Trenchard,  of 
the  University,  who  gave  a  short  history  of  the  year's  endeavor 
in  athletics  on  the  Hill  and  outlined  the  purposes  and  needs 
of  the  Athletic  Management.  He  dealt  particularly  on  the 
handicaps  which  University  teams  carried  in  competition  with 
the  University  of  Virginia. 

Professor  M.  C.  S.  Noble,  '81,  devoted  himself  to  entertain- 
ing the  banqueters  with  his  inexhaustible  fund  of  humor  and 
reminiscence. 

Other  speeches  were  made  at  the  call  of  the  toastmaster  by 
Rev.  N.  H.  D.  Wilson,  'Sfj;  Mr.  Don  C.  Humphrey,  '06,  on 
the  value  of  the  University  Extension;  Mr.  K.  C.  Royall, 
'14,  in  behalf  of  the  Wayne  County  Club  at  the  University 
for  co-operation  on  the  part  of  the  Wayne  Alumni.

—Professor  W.  S.  Bernard  of  the  faculty  of  the  University 
delivered  an  address  before  the  banquet  of  the  Wayne  County 
Ahimni  in  Goldsboro.  N.  C,  on  Dec.  30.  Mr.  Bernard  also 
spoke  at  the  Business  Mens'  Banquet  of  Pitt  County  held  in 
Greenville,  on  the  evening  of  Jan.  I.  His  subject  was  "The 
Test  of  a   County's  Wealth." 

—This  comment  by  Herbert  Reed  ("Right  Wing"),  sporting 
editor  of  "Harper's  Weekly,"  in  the  issue  of  December  20th 
will  be  of  interest  to  the  alumni  of  the  University,  particularly 
to  those  who  knew  Ernest  Graves  as  a  Carolina  fullback. 

"The  victory  over  the  Navy,  taking  into  consideration  all 
the  brands  of  football  played  by  the  West  Pointers,  belongs 
first  to  the  team,  and  second  to  purely  Army  coaching.  It 
is  true,  of  course,  that  the  .Army's  head  coach  was  influenced 
to  some  extent  by  his  football  schooling  at  Harvard  Uni- 
versity, but  it  must  be  remembered  that  Lieut.  Daly  was  also 
a  remarkable  player  while  a  cadet  at  West  Point,  and  that 
his  chief  assistant,  Capt.  Ernest  Graves,  was  a  product  of 
the  same  school,  although  like  his  chief,  thoroughly  in  touch 
with  Harvard  football.  The  theories  of  line  play  promul- 
gated by  Capt.  Graves  are  known  in  Boston  as  'Graves'  Bible.' 
He  has  set  his  mark  on  football  as  indelibly  as  any  other  man 
who  has  ever  played  the  game."

HY  MAKE  A  WILL 


If  j'ou  have  accumulated  propertj-  during 
your  lifetime  you  will  wish  to  bestow  that 
propertj' in  certain  ways.  To  do  so  the 
maUing  of  a  will  is  necessary. 
The  careful  planning,  drawing  and  execu- 
tion of  a  will  is  the  most  solemn  act  of  a  man's  life 
and  one  that  a  man  should  never  overlook.  If  this 
important  matter  is  neglected  then  the  courts  will  do 
what  the  individual  should  have  done.  It  will  ai> 
point  an  administrator  of  your  estate. 

In  taking  this  action  the  court  will  do  what  it  be- 
lieves to  be  right,  but  during  life,  or  after  death,  no 
tliinking  man  wants  another  to  determine  how  he 
will  dispose  of  his  accumulations. 

It  is  important  that  you  make  a  will,  and  it  is  also 
important  that  in  the  will  you  name  a  prudent  and 
able  executor.     VVhv  not  name  the
