OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


GOING  Jn  the  February  number,  under  the 

FORWARD  title  "The  President's  Report,"  the 
Review  cited  various  instances  in 
which  the  University  had  shown  unmistakable  evi- 
dences of  increased  power  and  expanding  usefulness 
to  North  Carolina.  The  feeling  which  the  reading 
of  the  report  in  full  produced  was  that  the  current 
of  Carolina's  life  was  running  deep  and  strong.  In 
the  brief  thirty  days  between  MarchlSth  and  April 
15th,  other  events  have  so  added  to  the  total  of  this 
impression  that  it  has  become  a  firm  conviction.  The 
University  is  drawing  nearer  to  the  people  whom  it 
was  established  to  serve,  and  is  being  strengthened  at 
its  very  heart. 

DDD 

THE  DEBATE  Tt  is  generally  conceded  that  North 
CONTEST  Carolinians  have  a  genius  for  argu- 
ment and  debate.  That  is  not  saying, 
however,  that  the  opportunity  for  the  development  of 
this  genius  has  been  adequately  given  those  who 
possessed  it.  In  reality,  this  opportunity  has,  except 
in  a  very  limited  way,  been  withheld,  until  the  Uni- 
versity extended  the  facilities  of  its  societies  and 
Library  to  the  high  schools  and  public  generally  of 
North  Carolina.  The  result  of  this  extension  this 
year,  if  statistics  may  be  relied  upon  to  tell  an  accu- 
rate story,  has  been  the  holding  of  a  state-wide  series 
of  debates  in  which  150  high  schools  participated  on 
March  20th,  in  which  at  least  1,000  boys  and  girls 
debated  either  in  competition  for  places  on  teams  or 
on  the  teams  themselves,  in  which  fully  40,000  North 
Carolinians  heard  the  pros  and  cons  of  the  initiative 
and  referendum  clearly  presented,  and  in  which  164 
winners  in  the  preliminary  contests  spoke  in  Univer- 
sity halls  on  April  2nd  and  3rd  for  the  coveted  Ay- 
cock  Memorial  Cup.  Building  upon  the  success  of 
la-t  year,  the  University,  through  Mr.  E.  R.  Rankin, 
the  Secretary  of  the  Debating  Union,  has  made  per- 
manent the  annual  contest  which  of  necessity  must 
be  the  training  camp  of  the  flower  of  North  Carolina 
high  schools  in  the  accurate  study  and  helpful  discus- 
sion of  problems  with  which  the  State  today  stands 
face  to  face. 


During  the  Summer  of  1913  more  than 


A.   B.   AND 

A-  M-  2,000  North  Carolina  teachers  attend- 

DEGREES  cti    Summer    Schools.      At   least   five 

hundred  of  these  went  outside  of  the 
State.  Of  the  remaining  1,500,  an  even  one  third  at- 
tended the  Summer  session  of  the  University,  and  the 
Review  believes  that  the  University  under  the  limita- 
tions imposed  upon  it,  served  them  splendidly.  How- 
ever, as  brought  out  in  a  previous  issue,  and  as  indi- 
cated in  this  issue  in  a  letter  from  Superintendent 
Archer,  of  the  Selma  schools,  the  University  offered 
a  very  limited  number  of  courses  and  these  led  only 
to  certificates  of  attendance  and,  in  some  few  in- 
stances, to  certificates  of  credit  for  entrance  into  the 
University.  While  affording  an  opportunity  for  the 
thorough  study  of  subjects  required  in  the  high  school 
and  for  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  of  methods  in 
class  room  and  school  management,  the  curriculum 
did  not  contain  advanced  courses  leading  to  the  A.  B. 
and  A.  M.  degrees  and  inciting  teachers  to  work  in 
the  higher  branches  through  a  number  of  years.  At 
its  last  faculty  meeting  in  March,  the  University  up- 
on the  report  of  a  special  committee  on  the  curri- 
culum of  the  Summer  School,  in  an  effort  to  remedy 
this  defect,  authorized  the  accrediting  of  work  done 
in  twenty-two  courses  to  be  offered  in  the  Summer 
school  of  1914  towards  the  two  degrees  mentioned. 
The  taking  of  this  first  step  furnishes  a  second  evi- 
dence of  the  University's  moving  forward  in  its  effort 
to  render  the  maximum  service  to  the  State. 

DDD 

GOOD  ROADS  Although  the  State  press  had  but  little 
INSTITUTE  to  say  concerning  the  good  roads  con- 
ference held  at  the  University,  March 
17-19,  under  the  joint  direction  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina Geological  and  Economic  Survey  and  the  depart- 
ments of  Geology  and  Civil  Engineering  of  the  Uni- 
versity, an  unusually  helpful  program,  in  which 
fifty  mad  engineers  and  contractors  participated,  was 
carried  out.  In  this  meeting  every  resource  of  the 
University  which  could  be  of  service  in  the  tremen- 
dously important  work  of  highway  construction  was 
placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  highway  builders.  Al- 
though a  new  field,  the  University  entered  it  con- 
fidently, determined  to  say  the  helpful  word  on  this

vital  subject  in  so  far  as  it  was  capable  of  saying  it. 
That  it  met  with  success  was  indicated  by  the  hearty 
resolution  of  commendation  passed  by  the  conference 
and  the  proposal  on  its  part  to  make  the  meeting  at 
the  Hill  an  annual  event,

other  straws  which  have  indicated  the  direction  of  the

the  political  platform  maker,  ''points  with  pride''  to 
the  "getting  together"  idea  evidenced  by  the  clarion 
calls  on  the  part  of  reunion  committees  to  classmates 
to  be  present  at  the  Home-Coming  Commencement 
of  1914;  by  letters  from  the  younger  alumni  on  sub- 
jects vital  to  the  University  other  than  athletics;  by 
the  increasingly  larger  number  of  personal  notes  re- 
ceived by  the  editors  from  individual  alumni ;  and  by 
the  action  of  the  Alumni  Council,  an  account  of  which 
is  found  on  another  page,  looking  to  a  closer  co-opera- 
tion between  the  Alumni  Association  and  the  Univer- 
sity in  the  latter's  expanding  work.

NEWSPAPER  ]Sj"0  c]oucl  js  ever  so  dark  but  that  it  has 
HYSTERIA  a  silver  lining.  So  the  University  in 
the  recent  gambling  incident,  the  after- 
math of  which  was  raised  to  the  nth  power  of  sensa- 
tionalism and  colored  beyond  all  recognition.  Out 
of  this  exaggeration,  however,  which  placed  the  Uni- 
versity in  a  false  and  most  undesirable  light,  certain 
facts  shone  into  relief  which  strikingly  demonstrated 
the  absolute  soundness  of  the  growth  of  the  Univer- 
sity's inner  as  well  as  outer  life.    Briefly  they  were: 

The  University  stands  for  true  publicity. 

Before  the  newspaper  correspondent  had  turned 
on  the  "yellow"  which  he  mistook  for  the  light,  the 
student  body  out  of  the  vigor  of  its  inner  life,  had 
organized  a  fighting  lineup  to  stamp  out,  in  con- 
junction with  University  and  town  authorities,  any 
vestige  of  gambling  in  the  University.  And  further, 
instead  of  exhibiting  "mob"  spirit,  it  exercised 
worthy  self-control  in  a  period  of  trying  misrepre- 
sentation. 

The  college  sense  of  newspaper  injustice  grew  out 
of  that  higher  loyalty  than  patriotism — loyalty  to  the 
facts.  And  when  all  the  facts  are  in  it  will  be  found 
that  the  people  of  North  Carolina  love  the  truth  as 
much  as  they  hate  gambling ! 


CAROLINA'S     Jn  an  article  in  the  current  number  of 
TRUSTEE  the  University  Magazine,  Mr.  W.  P. 

SYSTEM  Fuller  gives  a  careful  study  of  .Caro- 

lina's trustee  system.  To  his  very 
great  amazement  Mr.  Fuller  finds  that  Carolina  has 
more  trustees  than  any  other  state  university  in  the 
world,  having  more  in  fact  than  the  state  universities 
of  Arizona,  Arkansas,  California,  Florida,  Idaho, 
Kansas,  Maine,  Nebraska,  Nevada,  North  Dakota, 
Oklahoma,  South  Carolina,  South  Dakota,  and  West 
Virginia — fourteen  states — combined.  He  also 
finds  that  the  tendency  of  trustees  is  to  meet  at 
the  seats  of  the  universities  rather  than  at 
distant  cities,  and  that  members  of  the  boards,  with 
the  exception  of  those  of  North  and  South  Carolina, 
are  elected  by  other  agencies  than  the  legislature.  A 
further  discovery  made  by  Mr.  Fuller  is  that  while 
other  states  formerly  having  systems  similar  to  that 
of  Carolina  have  undergone  marked  changes — that  no 
change  whatsoever  has  been  made  in  Carolina's  sys- 
tem in  forty  odd  years. 


GOOD  ROADS  INSTITUTE 

A  Good  Roads  Institute  for  road  engineers,  road 
superintendents,  engineering  students,  and  all  inter- 
ested in  better  roads,  was  held  at  the  University  on 
March  17-19,  under  the  auspices  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina Geological  and  Economic  Survey  and  the  De- 
partment of  Civil  and  Highway  Engineering  of  the 
University.  The  purpose  of  the  Institute,  that  it 
should  serve  as  a  clearing  house  for  road  building 
problems  in  the  State,  was  aptly  expressed  by  Dr. 
Joseph  Hyde  Pratt,  who  acted  as  chairman  of  the 
meetings. 

The  subjects  considered  were  practical  problems 
connected  with  the  location,  construction,  and  mainte- 
nance of  roads.  The  informal  discussions  which  fol- 
lowed each  lecture  and  demonstration  added  much  in- 
terest and  practical  value  to  the  program. 

A  great  deal  of  interest  was  manifested  in  all  the 
meetings.  There  were  in  attendance,  besides  students 
and  citizens  of  Orange  County,  forty-five  visitors, 
most  of  whom  were  engineers  and  superintendents 
from  twenty-two  counties,  as  far  east  as  New  Hanover 
and  as  far  west  as  Madison. 

At  the  close  of  the  Institute,  the  following  resolu- 
tions were  voted  upon  unanimously  by  the  visitors: 

(1.)  Resolved,  That  we  wish  to  express  our  thanks 
and  appreciation  to  the  Engineering  and  Geological 
Departments  of  the  University  and  the  Geological 
Survey  for  the  benefits  which  we  have  derived  from 
the  Good  Roads  Institute. 

(2.)  Resolved  further,  That  it  is  our  desire  for 
the  Institute  to  be  an  annual  occurrence.

THE  DEBATING  UNION  STAGES  A  MAMMOTH  CONTEST 


The  Winston-Salem  High  School  Wins  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup  Over  One   Hundred   and   Sixty-two 

Debaters  Participating  in  the  Contest  at  the  Hill 


The  climax  to  months  of  hard  and  clearly  instruc- 
tive work  carried  on  in  Chapel  Hill  and  in  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  other  communities  all  over  North 
Carolina  came  on  Thursday  and  Friday,  April  2nd 
and  3rd,  when  one  hundred  and  sixty  four  debaters, 
representing  forty-one  high  schools,  gathered  in  Chap- 
el Hill  for  the  second  final  contest  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina Debating  Union.  The  coming  of  these  high 
school  debaters  together  with  many  superintendents, 
principals,  teachers,  and  visitors  could  not  be  other 
than  epochal  in  all  the  long  history  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina.  It  was  deeply  significant  of 
the  increasingly  large  part  which  the  University  is 
playing  in  the  life  of  the  people  of  the  State.  For 
two  days  the  campus  thronged  wi.th  visitors  and  never 
did  the  University  extend  a  gladder  hand  to  more 
welcome  guests. 

To  Charles  Roddick  and  Clifton  Eaton,  the  fifteen 
year-old  debaters  of  the  Winston-Salem  High  School 
belongs  the  much  striven  for  distinction  of  having 
won  out  over  the  other  one  hundred  and  sixty-two 
debaters  and  thus  having  received  the  award  of  the 
Aycock  Memorial  Cup.  To  Michael  H.  KernoJle 
and  Miss  Flonnie  Cooper,  of  the  Graham  High  School 
belongs  the  hard  won  honor  of  having  contested  final- 
ly with  the  "Winston-Salem  debaters.  These  two 
teams  were  pitted  against  one  another  in  the  final 
debate  in  Memorial  Hall,  on  Friday  evening,  April 
3rd,  ( Sraham  having  the  affirmative  of  the  query  and 
Winston-Salem  the  negative,  "Resolved,  That  the 
( '(institution  of  North  Carolina  should  be  so  amended 
as  .to  allow  the  Initiative  and  Referendum  in  state- 
wide legislation." 

The  Preliminaries 

The  forty-one  schools  that  sent  their  representa- 
tives to  Chapel  Hill  for  this  final  contest  were  the  ones 
which  had  been  victorious  in  both  of  their  triangular 
debates  in  the  state-wide  contest  in  which  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  schools  took  part  on  March  20th. 
Each  school  sent  both  teams  to  Chapel  Hill  for  this 
final  contest.  The  affirmative  teams  were  divided  into 
four  sections  for  a  first  preliminary  on  Thursday 
evening,  April  2nd,  and  likewise  the  teams  on  the 
negative  were  divided  into  four  sections.  The  schools 
whose  affirmative  teams  won  out  in  this  first  prelimi- 
nary and  thus  were  entitled  to  enter  the  second  pre- 
liminary on  Friday  morning  were:  Graham,  Pleas- 
ant Garden,  Manteo,  Winston-Salem,  Dallas,   Xew 


Bern,  Sylvan,  Statesville.  On  the  negative  the  schools 
whose  teams  made  the  second  preliminary  were  Win- 
ston-Salem, Durham,  Asheville,  Gatesville,  Lumber- 
ton,  New  Bern,  Graham,  and  Churchland.  Inas- 
much as  only  sixteen  teams  out  of  a  total  of  eighty- 
two  made  this  second  preliminary,  a  school  might  well 
count  it  an  honor  thus  to  have  contested  in  the  second 
preliminary.  From  this  number  of  sixteen  teams  the 
Graham  debaters  on  the  affirmative  and  the  Winston- 
Salem  debaters  on  the  negative  were  chosen  for  the 
final  debate  which  was  held  on  Friday  evening,  April 
3rd. 

The  Finals 

Memorial  Hall,  which  for  years  has  been  used  only 
for  exercises  on  University  Day  and  Commencement 
Day,  was  pressed  into  service  for  this  final  debate. 
The  crowd  of  2,000  representative  North  Carolinians 
which  surged  into  the  Hall  filled  it  to  its  capacity. 
In  addition  to  the  four  hundred  visitors  who  were 
present  during  the  whole  two  days'  time,  large  num- 
bers had  come  by  automobiles  and  the  evening  train 
from  Durham,  Raleigh,  Graham,  Winston-Salem, 
Pittsboro,  Burlington,  and  other  nearby  cities. 

Acting  President  Edward  K.  Graham  who  presided 
over  the  dabate  declared  in  his  introductory  remarks 
that  this  meeting  was  the  culmination  of  the  "most 
remarkable  series  of  debates  that  had  ever  taken  place 
in  the  South,"  and  was  "the  most  significant  assembly 
of  people  that  had  ever  gathered  together  within 
the  borders  of  North  Carolina."  That  he  was  justi- 
fied in  this  statement  is  evident  when  it  is  considered 
that  more  than  40,000  people  in  North  Carolina  had 
listened  to  discussions  of  the  Initiative  and  Referen- 
dum, that  600  debaters  had  represented  their  schools 
in  inter-scholastic  contests,  that  1,000  boys  and  girls 
in  the  State  had  prepared  debates  for  their  own  pre- 
liminaries and  for  their  school  debates  on  this  subject. 
A  wonderful  system  of  high  school  debates,  one  that 
served  as  a  model  for  other  States,  had,  he  declared, 
been  built  up  through  the  co-operative  spirit  existing 
between  the  high  schools  and  the  University. 

The  debate  itself  was  cleanly  fought  and  closely 
contested  throughout.  It  was  significant  of  an  epoch 
in  several  ways.  It  was  the  first  time  that  a  woman 
had  ever  appeared  on  the  stage  in  Memorial  Hall. 
It  was  the  first  time  that  a  debate  had  ever  been  held 
in  Memorial  Hall.  Miss  Flonnie  Cooper,  represent-

the  occasion.  In  appearance,  manner,  and  delivery, 
she  was  simple,  sincere,  earnest,  appealing,  and  con- 
vincing. In  argument  she  was  logical.  Added  interest 
comes  to  this  case  because  of  the  fact  that  last  year  her 
sister,  Miss  Julia  Cooper,  was  in  the  preliminaries 
for  the  final  debate  of  the  Union  at  Chapel  Hill  and 
made  a  splendid  speech,  and  that  this  year  another 
sister,  Miss  Myrtle  Cooper,  represented  Graham  at 
Chapel  Hill  on  the  negative  side  and  made  the  sec- 
ond preliminary,  contesting  closely  with  the  winners 
for  the  final  debate. 

Michael  H.  Kernodle  opened  the  argument  for  the 
affirmative  side.  He  defined  the  initiative  as  a 
means  whereby  the  people  can  get  needed  legislation 
which  is  withheld  by  their  representatives.  The  refer- 
endum he  declared  to  be  a  means  of  undoing  wrong 
legislation  enacted  by  the  representatives.  The  initia- 
tive and  referendum,  he  said,  were  in  direct  line  with 
the  democracy  of  the  'New  England  town  meeting. 
The  freedom  for  which  our  fathers  fought  declares 
that  the  people  must  be  given  a  voice  in  making 
laws.  The  initiative  and  referendum  merely  give 
this  right.  The  initiative  and  referendum  are  need- 
ed so  that  the  people  can  reassume  power  delegated  to 
their  representatives  who  have  not  kept  pace  with  the 
progress  demanded  by  the  times. 

Charles  Roddick,  the  first  speaker  on  the  negative, 
made  an  excellent  speech.  He  declared  that  the 
affirmative  must  show  two  things :  that  our  system 
of  government  was  in  need  of  a  radical  change,  and 
that  the  initiative  and  referendum  were  the  correct 
means  for  securing  better  government.     He  said  that 


our  government  responds  now  and  has  always  re- 
sponded to  the  mandates  of  the  people,  and  he  chal- 
lenged the  affirmative  to  show  one  instance  where  our 
government  had  failed  to  respond  to  the  will  of  the 
people.  He  said  that  the  initiative  and  referendum 
were  dangerous  and  impractical  in  a  State  where 
thirty-three  and  one-third  per  cent  of  the  people  were 
negroes  and  where  the  people  stood  so  low  in  educa- 
tion. The  burden  of  proof  must  rest  with  the  affirma- 
tive. 

Miss  Flonnie  Cooper,  the  second  speaker  on  the 
affirmative,  presented  a  growing  need  for  the  initia- 
tive and  referendum,  charging  the  present  government 
with  being  overridden  with  bosses  and  machine  poli- 
ticians. The  initiative  will  prove  a  means  of  securing 
a  corrupt  practices  act,  a  stricter  child  labor  law, 
and  the  direct  primary.  The  referendum  will  hold 
the  legislature  in  check.  The  initiative  and  refer- 
endum will  by  no  means  substitute  direct  government 
for  representative  government  but  will  prevent  repre- 
sentative government  from  becoming  misrepresen- 
tative.  What  the  people  of  North  Carolina  now  have 
in  amendments  to  the  Constitution  they  should  have 
in  state-wide  legislation — viz.,  the  initiative  and  refer- 
endum. Prolonged  cheering  such  as  has  been  seldom 
heard  in  Chapel  Hill  followed  her  speech,  sweeping 
back  and  forth  through  Memorial  Hall. 

Clifton  Eaton  was  the  second  speaker  on  the  nega- 
tive. His  purpose  was  to  show  that  the  initiative 
and  referendum  would  not  work  practically.  He  said 
that  when  the  direct  vote  of  the  people  had  first  killed 
prohibition  the  Legislature  educated  the  people  by

means  of  the  Watts  law  to  the  stage  of  passing  the 
state-wide  act  against  liquor.  He  declared  that  the 
initiative  and  referendum  were  in  reality  direct  de- 
mocracy, and  that  direct  democracy  could  not  exist  at 
the  same  place  with  representative  government.  If 
the  power  of  the  Legislature  were  curtailed  or  if  the 
power  of  final  action  were  taken  from  the  members, 
fit  men  would  not  sit  in  the  General  Assembly. 

The  rejoinders  were  spirited  throughout.  Each 
speaker  showed  his  native  ability  as  a  thinker  and  his 
power  to  combat  his  opponents'  argument  on  the  spot. 
The  applause  by  the  large  audience  was  frequent  and 
prolonged  throughout  both  the  main,  speeches  and 
rejoinders. 

While  the  judges  were  making  up  their  decisions, 
Mr.  M.  H.  Stacy,  Acting  Dean  of  the  University, 
presented  the  Cups  and  Medals  to  winners  in  the 
Inter-Scholastic  Track  Meet  which  had  been  held  on 
Friday  afternoon.,  April  3rd.  The  trophy  Cup  for  the 
school  winning  the  largest  number  of  jDoints  was 
awarded  to  the  Friendship  High  School,  of  Alamance 
county.  The  Cup  for  the  school  having  the  winning 
team  in.  the  relay  race  was  awarded  to  the  Graham 
High  School.  Silver  medals  were  presented  to  all 
winners  of  first  places  in  the  meet  and  bronze  medals 
were  awarded  to  all  winners  of  second  places. 

The  decision  of  the  judges  stood  four  to  one  in 
favor  of  the  negative.  Mr.  W.  S.  Bernard,  Associate 
Professor  of  Greek  in  the  University,  in  behalf  of 
all  the  Carolina  inter-collegiate  debaters,  presented  in 
appropriate  terms  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup  to  the 
winners,  Charles  Roddick  and  Clifton  Eaton,  of  the 
Winston-Salem  High  School.  He  told  the  affirmative 
speakers  that  they  had  nothing  to  regret  but  on  the 
other  hand  much  to  prize  for  their  hard  fight  kept  up 
all  the  way  through.  He  told  the  negative  speakers 
of  the  obligations  which  the  winning  of  the  Aycock 
Memorial  Cup  entailed.  He  paid  high  tribute  to 
Charles  B.  Aycock  and  to  the  old  Di  and  Phi  Socie- 
ties which  have  provided  in  a  democratic  way  train- 
ing for  thousands  of  members.  It  is  the  spirit  of  the 
Di  and  Phi,  he  declared,  which  expresses  itself  in 
the  High  School  Debating  Union. 

Immediately  following  the  presentation  of  the  Cup, 
the  large  audience  adjourned  to  the  Library  where  a 
reception  was  tendered  by  the  Societies  in.  honor  of  all 
the  visitors.  The  reception  afforded  an  opportunity 
for  a  general  handshaking  and  a  mingling  together 
which  was  thoroughly  enjoyed  by  every  one. 

The  high  school  debating  committee  served  as  a 
central  committee  in.  the  entertainment  of  the  visitors 
to  the  Hill  for  this  occasion.  The  members  of  the 
faculty  served  as  judges  in  the  preliminaries  which 
lasted  until  the  small  hours  of  the  night,  and  they 


also  entertained  the  twenty-four  young  lady  debaters, 
who  came  from  as  far  east  as  Manteo  and  as  far  west 
as  Piney  Creek,  in  Alleghany  county.  The  students 
of  the  University  responded  splendidly  to  the  occa- 
sion in  a  hearty  desire  to  give  the  visitors  a  good 
time.  They  gave  of  their  time,  money,  and  pleasure 
to  this  end.  The  program  of  entertainment  for  their 
two  days'  stay  included  the  Carolina-Hampden-Sid- 
ney  baseball  game,  automobile  rides  generously  pro- 
vided by  owners  of  automobiles  in  Chapel  Hill,  trips 
to  the  Pickwick — Chapel  Hill's  classic  picture  show, 
— the  Inter-Scholastic  Track  Meet  on  Friday  after- 
noon, and  the  reception  Friday  night  after  the  final 
debate.  A  standard  pin  for  debaters  of  the  Union 
has  been  adopted,  and  this  was  on  sale  during  the  two 
days  of  the  contest.  A  pennant  emblematic  of  the 
High  School  Debating  Union  is  now  being  prepared, 
and  will  be  ready  for  distribution  within  a  few  weeks. 

The  High  School  Debating  Uxion 

The  High  School  Debating  Union  is  a  permanent 
affair.  It  has  come  to  stay,  and  it  is  one  of  the  very 
biggest  things  that  have  ever  happened  along  in  the 
history  of  the  State  of  North  Carolina.  There  is 
universal  praise  of  the  Union  from  all  sources.  One 
principal  gave  as  his  opinion  before  the  final  contest 
was  held,  "I  do  not  care  especially  which  side  wins  or 
what  school  is  awarded  the  Cup,  but  take  it  any  way 
that  you  will  the  Debating  Union  is  a  wonderful  vic- 
tory for  North  Carolina  of  today  and  the  future." 
A  superintendent  writes  "the  Debating  Union  is  a 
splendid  success.  Keep  up  the  good  work  and  always 
count  on  me."  The  superintendent  of  the  Winston- 
Salem  schools  says,  "The  winning  of  the  Aycock 
Memorial  Cup  is  the  greatest  honor  that  has  ever 
come  to  our  schools."  With  such  a  splendid  spirit 
of  co-operation  existing  among  the  school  men  of  the 
State,  the  committee  at  Chapel  Hill,  which  has  al- 
ready begun  to  plan  for  another  year's  contest,  thinks 
that  it  has  solid  ground  for  the  hope  that  every  secon- 
dary and  high  school  in  North  Carolina  will  be  en- 
rolled in  the  Union  for  the  next  great  annual  state- 
wide contest  in  1915. 

The  following  schools  were  represented  in  the  final 
contest:  Durham,  Winston-Salem,  Pleasant  Garden, 
Piney  Creek,  Glen  Alpine,  Boonville,  Apex,  Holly 
Springs,  Kinston,  New  Bern,  Warrenton,  Graham, 
Lucama,  Statesville,  Asheville,  Bethania,  Belmont, 
North  Wilkesboro,  Troutmans,  Lumberton,  Marsh- 
ville,  Dallas,  Atkinson,  Stem,  Lenoir,  King,  Mt. 
Ulla,  Sylvan,  Whi takers,  Pikeville,  Mason's  Cross, 
iChurchland,  Snow  Hill,  Sparta,  Belhaven,  Manteo, 
Gatesville,  Stoneville,  Clinton,  Leaksville,  and  Went- 
worth.

FRIENDSHIP  WINS  INTER-SCHOLASTIC  TRACK  MEET 


Seventy-five  Athletes  from  Thirteen  Schools  Contest 


The  second  annual  inter-scholastic  track  meet  of 
North  Carolina  was  held  in  Chapel  Hill  on  Friday 
afternoon,  April  3rd,  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Greater  Council  and  General  Alumni  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation of  the  University.  The  meet  was  carried  on 
speedily  and  was  one  of  the  'best  meets  generally  that 
have  ever  been  held  in  Chapel  Hill.  Thirteen  schools 
were  represented  as  follows:  Gatesville,  Hillsboro, 
Huntersville,  Sanford,  Washington,  Asheville,  Ba- 
leigh,  High  Point,  Friendship,  Oak  Eidge,  Graham, 
Lucama,  Leaksville,  and  seventy-five  athletes  partici- 
pated in  the  different  events. 

The  Friendship  High  School,  of  Alamance  county, 
led  in  the  meet  with  27  points  and  thus  was  awarded 
the  trophy  cup,  which  in  the  meet  last  year  was  won 
by  the  High  Point  High  School.  Oak  Eidge  and 
Graham  came  next  with  13  points  each,  Ealeigh 
with  10  points  stood  next,  Hillsboro  made  9  points, 
Washington  8,  Huntersville  5,  High  Point  3,  Ashe- 
ville 2.  A  special  cup  was  offered  for  the  school  win- 
ning the  relay  race,  and  this  was  awarded  to  the 
Graham  team.  All  winners  of  first  places  in  the  meet 
received  silver  medals,  and  all  winners  of  second 
places  received  bronze  medals. 

The  University  enjoyed  having  these  young  ath- 
letes here  as  much  as  she  enjoyed  having  the  high 
school  debaters.  They  were  entertained  while  on  the 
Hill  by  the  different  county  clubs,   and  everything 


possible  was  done  for  their  pleasure.  The  effect  of 
holding  the  inter-scholastic  meet  annually  has 
already  been  seen  in  a  greatly  increased  interest  in 
track  athletics  in  schools  all  over  the  State.  This 
Meet  is  a  part  of  the  regular  high  school  activities  of 
the  University,  along  with  the  Debating  Union,  the 
Football  Contest  which  was  carried  to  such  a  suc- 
cessful conclusion  last  Fall  and  the  Baseball  Contest 
which  is  being  initiated  this  Spring. 

The  records  made  in  the  different  events  together 
with  those  winning  places  are  as  follows:

THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL  GOES  FORWARD 


Credits  for  the  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  Degrees  Will  Hereafter  be  Given 


The  announcement  of  the  University  Summer 
School  for  June  16-July  29,  1914,  has  just  been  is- 
sued by  Director  X.  W.  Walker.  The  scope  of  the 
work  for  the  approaching  session  has  been  greatly  en- 
larged and  the  various  departments  much  strengthen- 
ed.    Special  work  has  been  planned  for: 

1.  Teachers  of  primary  grades. 

2.  Teachers  of  grammar  grades. 

3.  High  School  teachers  and  principals. 

4.  Superintendents. 

5.  Teachers,  superintendents,  and  others  wishing 
to  pursue  courses  leading  to  the  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  de- 
grees. 

Special  courses,  as  indicated  by  the  announcement, 
will  be  offered  in  Primary  Methods,  Grammar  School 
Methods,  Secondary  Education,  the  Common  School 
Branches,  Arithmetic,  Algebra,  Geometry,  Trigono- 
metry, English  Grammar,  Composition  and  Litera- 
ture, History,  Physics,  Chemistry,  School  Gardening, 
Agriculture,  Botany,  Geography,  Geology,  Plays, 
Games,  Story-telling,  Public  School  Music,  Drawing, 
Latin,  Greek,  German,  Educational  Psychology,  Ex- 
perimental Education,  School  Supervision,  and  Li- 
brary Administration. 

In  order  to  keep  the  school  abreast  with  the  needs 
of  the  teachers  of  the  State,  twenty-two  of  the  courses 
offered  will  be  opened  to  those  who  wish  to  do  work 
leading  to  the  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  degrees.  In  this- 
way  it  will  be  possible  for  those  who  are  under-grad- 
uates  to  secure  college  credits  of  from  three  to  four 
hours  during  the  session  and  for  graduates  of  stand- 
ard colleges  to  secure  the  A.  M.  degree  for  four  Sum- 
mers' study.  The  courses  thus  offered  are  centered 
chiefly  around  the  regular  work  of  the  School  of 
Education,  and  will  be  increased  later  as  occasion  de- 
mands. 

Among  subjects  to  receive  special  emphasis  are 
those  of  Agriculture,  Nature  Study,  Botany,  and 
Agricultural  Chemistry.  Dr.   T.   E.   Turlington,  of 


the  Farm  Life  School  of  Craven  county  will  be  in

Plans  have  also  been  made  for  holding  two  con- 
ferences for  the  benefit  of  rural  life  workers  and  high 
school  teachers.  These  will  fall  in  the  week,  June 
22-27,  to  be  known  as  Rural  Life  Week,  and  will  be 
participated  in  by  many  visitors  in  addition  to  those 
in  regular  attendance  at  the  Summer  School.  Among 
those  expected  to  take  part  in  the  conferences  are 
Dr.  Liberty  H.  Bailey,  of  Cornell,  Prof.  E.  C.  Bran- 
son, of  the  State  Normal  School  of  Athens,  Ga.,  Mr. 
Clarence  Poe,  Hon.  W.  A.  Graham,  and  Mrs.  Jane 
McKimmon,  of  Raleigh. 

Provision  is  being  made  for  the  opening  of  the 
University  dormitories  and  the  new  Dining  Hall,  and 
from  advance  requisitions  for  rooms  indications  point 
to  the  most  significant  session  in  the  history  of  the 
school.

What  The  Review  Has  Longed  for  Has  Happened— The  Alumni  Begin  to  Write 


HOW  THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL  CAN  HELP 

Editor,  Alumni  Review: 

Sir: — The  Summer  School  of  the  University  now 
offers  two  courses :  one  to  help  those  who  are  to  enter 
college ;  another  to  help  teachers  who  feel  their  lack  of 
preparation.    This  latter  course  leads  to  a  certificate. 

Judging  from  the  numher  of  teachers  from  North 
Carolina  who  attended  the  Summer  School  at  Colum- 
bia University  last  summer  and  summers  previous 
to  that,  there  is  quite  a  demand  within  the  State  for 
more  advanced  courses  of  study  at  our  University 
Summer  School.  If  one  hundred  can  afford  to  go 
from  North  Carolina  to  New  York  City,  then  five 
hundred  could  attend  the  summer  courses  at  Chapel 
Hill.  I  believe  they  would  do  so  provided  the  courses 
were  offered  by  experts, — men  who  are  nationally 
known. 

Of  course  there  is  a  difficulty  in  knowing  just 
what  the  teachers  want.  We  all  know,  or  think  we 
do,  what  they  need.  They  no  doubt  need  instruction 
or  reviewing  in  Mathematics,  English,  Latin,  Greek, 
etc.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  a  great  many  of  them  want 
instruction  in  the  actual  handling  of  a  class.  They 
want  to  see  an  expert  teach  a  reading  lesson  in  the 
third  grade,  and  then  hear  an  expert  like  Dr.  Mc- 
Murray  discuss  the  good  and  bad  points  of  the  work. 
They  want  to  see  the  Montessori  methods  in  opera- 
tion; above  all,  they  want  a  good  deal  of  practical 
demonstration  with  the  theory  that  is  usually  given. 


We  want  to  install  a  domestic  science  department 
in  the  school  in  our  town  next  year.  One  of  our 
teachers  has  had  some  work  in  this  but  is  desirous  of 
attending  a  school  this  Summer  and  studying  the  ar- 
rangement of  the  domestic  science  course.  We  are 
writing  letters  to  find  the  nearest  school  offering  a 
course  worth  while. 

Drawing  must  be  taught  in  the  public  schools:  but 
public  school  teachers  say  that  the  usual  summer 
courses  do  not  help  them  much.  I  understand  that 
they  teach  "art"  instead  of  drawing. 

So  it  is  with  writing. 

But  to  return  to  the  present  courses  offered  at 
Chapel  Hill, — I  think  that  if  courses  were  offered 
leading  to  all  degrees  except  Ph.  D.,  more  of  us 
could  induce  teachers  to  attend, — not  just  one  sum- 
mer, but  for  consecutive  summers. 

It  seems  to  me  that  enlarging  the  scope  of  the 
summer  work  is  right  in  line  with  the  University's 
present  policy  of  carrying  the  college  into  the  State.

WHY  NOT  AN  ALUMNI  CATALOGUE? 

Editor,  Alumni  Review: 

Sir: — Among  the  needs  of  the  University  as  set 
forth  from  time  to  time  there  is  one  which  has  not 
been  mentioned, — at  least  in  the  Alumni  Review. 
This  need,  while  not  altogether  pressing,  if  supplied,

THE  RALEIGH   ROAD 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW

would  work  as  one  of  the  agencies  toward  cementing 
the  interests  of  the  alumni,  and  help  to  produce  a 
stronger  alumni  feeling  such  as  is  absolutely  neces- 
sary to  keep  them  more  actively  behind  that  institu- 
tion. 

One  of  the  first  signs  of  new  life  among  the  Uni- 
versity forces  was  tiie  organization  of  the  alumni. 
This  was  felt  to  be  absolutely  essential  in  ushering  the 
University  into  a  life  of  new  and  modern  usefulness, 
for  it  was  felt  that  the  alumni,  the  permanent  repre- 
sentatives of  the  University  sent  out  among  the 
communities  of  the  State,  were  the  ones  who,  by 
their  efforts  and  by  their  representation,  could  prepare 
the  field,  viz.,  the  people,  to  expect  great  things,  to 
hope  for  great  things,  and  to  co-operate  for  great 
things  from  the  logical  and  actual  head  of  the  State's 
educational  forces. 

It  was  felt,  and  accurately  so,  that  the  alumnus 
could  be,  properly  inspired,  a  strong  crusader  against 
forces  of  prejudice  which  have  existed — not  so  much 
by  his  boasting'  of  his  institution,  but  by  his  conduct, 
by  eliciting  the  comment,  "He's  a  graduate  of  the 
University,  too." 

The  Alumni  Review  was  one  of  the  mediums  for 
inspiring  the  alumnus,  for  impelling  him  to  righteous 
self  conduct,  for  making  him  an  exponent  of  the  best 
things  for  the  public,  as  much  as  for  keeping  him  in- 
formed of  his  alma  mater.  Verily,  from  such  infor- 
mation from  '"home,"  monthly  though  it  be,  he  should 
feel  the  flow  of  ideals. 

I  do  not  believe  an  alumni  catalogue  would  be 
better  than  this — it  could  not  be  as  good.  Yet,  as 
one  of  the  agencies,  and  all  of  us  are  more  susceptible 
to  two  agencies,  or  three,  or  four,  than  to  a  lesser 
ntunber,  an  alumni  catalogue,  modern,  handy,  and 
too  handsome  to  be  lost,  would  act  as  quite  an  in- 
fluence toward  keeping  strong  an  interest  in  the  in- 
stitution. 

That  is  the  main  value  of  it — though  right  now, 
since  I  think  on't,  I  would  like  to  know  where  I 
could  write  one  of  the  best  friends  I  had  while  in 
school,  and  I  suppose  nobody  in  the  State  could  give 
me  the  address.     An  alumni  catalogue  should. 

The  volume  I  suggest  should  contain  the  names  of 
matriculates,  class,  degree,  present  occupation,  and 
address  or  notation  of  death.  Printed  on  thin  paper 
in  small  type,  with  plain  but  substantial  binding,  it 
should  prove  serviceable.  Corrections,  of  course, 
should  be  made  at  intervals  to  keep  the  publication 
modern. 


THE  DEBATING  UNION  STIMULATES 

Editou.  Alumni  Review: 

Sir: — For  two  reasons,  Mr.  Editor,  I  wish  to  take  oc- 
casion to  point  out  the  High  School  Debating  Union's 
merit  as  a  stimulator  of  interest  in  debating  among 
the  boys  in  the  different  high  schools  over  the  State; 
first,  because  I  hope  that  such  a  discussion  of  the 
High  School  Debating  Union  may  be  of  assistance 
tn  those  interested  in  literary  society  work  in  the 
high  school;  and  second,  because  I  think  that  it  will 
be  a  source  of  gratification  to  other  alumni  to  know 
that  the  Union  does  serve  such  a  worthy  purpose. 

In  our  work  with  the  societies  here  in  the  Charlotte 
High  School  we  have  found  the  High  School  Debat- 
ing Union  of  immense  value  in  stimulating  interest, 
and  the  recognition  of  just  one  thing  in  the  mental 
makeup  of  the  ordinary  high  school  boy  I  am  sure 
will  enable  any  literary  society  director  to  make  of 
the  Union  a  very  effective  stimulator.  The  average 
high  school  boy  has  not  grown  up  to  the  place  where 
he  possesses  mental  self-reliance.  The  high  school 
boy  may  think  that  debating  is  a  good  thing,  but  when 
he  looks  about  him,  he  sees  that  athletics  and  many 
other  things  come  in  for  more  attention,  applause — 
reward ;  and,  consequently,  he  goes  in  for  these  other 
things.  He  hasn't  the  requisite  amount  of  mental 
self-reliance  to  go  in  for  debating  on  his  own  "hook," 
with  practically  no  one  standing  behind  him  to  urge 
him  on.  The  Union  can  abundantly  remedy  this 
trouble.  Let  your  high  school  boy  know,  more  than 
this,  make  him  feel  that  the  University — and  our 
University  sounds  big  to  the  high  school  boy  these 
days — thinks  enough  of  debating  to  spend  time  and 
money  to  organize  a  debating  union  for  high  school 
boys,  and  the  boy's  one  time  faint  idea  that  debating 
is  a  good  thing  becomes  a  conviction.  The  problem 
of  stimulating  interest  in  debate  is  then  solved.  The 
High  School  Debating  Union  backed  by  the  Univer- 
sity's prestige,  and  expressive  of  the  University's  in- 
terest in.  the  boys  of  the  State,  supplies  the  amount  of 
encouragement  and  backing  necessary  to  make  our 
high  school  boys  go  in  for  debate  with  vim  and  deter- 
mination. 

A  stimulator  and  a  tonic  is  what  the  Debating 
Union  has  been  to  our  society  work  here  in  the  Chai"- 
lotte  High  School;  naturally,  therefore,  we  feel  very 
grateful  to  those  who  have  labored  so  faithfully  to 
make  the  Union  the  success  that  it  is. 
Yours  very  truly,

CAROLINA  1,  WILLIAM  AND  MARY  0. 

Carolina  won  from  William  and  Mary  March 
26th  by  the  score  of  1  to  0.  The  game  was  feature- 
less save  for  the  pitching  of  Shields,  a  mere  lad  in 
the  freshnian  class.     The  lone  tally  was  on  an  error.

The  two  to  five  errors  account  largely  for  the 
five  to  two  score  in  Wesleyan's  victory  over  Carolina. 
Slow  work  in  right  field  enabled  Lambert  to  round 
the  bases.  Cornwell  lifted  the  ball  into  the  woods 
back  of  the  left  field  fence.  Johnson's  hitting  was  a 
feature.

Vermont's  outfield  took  a  pretty  game  from  Caro- 
lina to  the  amount  of  3  to  2.  Spear  had  good  stuff 
and  back  of  him  played  three  fielders  who  were  either 
there  or  thereabouts  both  coming  and  going.  Williams 
showed  great  undeveloped  pitching  strength.

his  old  form.  Hubert  Bailey  totalled  six  bases  out 
of  five  times  at  the  bat.    Rousseau  who  had  been  laid

THE  CATALOGUE,  1913-14 

The  changes  in  the  University  Catalogue,  just 
off  the  press,  indicate  clearly,  and  with  the  brevity 
of  a  catalogue,  the  direction  and  the  extent  of  the 
recent  growth  of  the  institution. 

There  are  two  new  chapters,  one  entitled  the  School 
of  Education,  the  other  the  Bureau  of  Extension.  The 
former  sets  forth  all  the  activities  of  the  newly  form- 
ed normal  branch  of  the  University,  explains  the  re- 
quirements for  the  teacher's  certificate  which  is  given 
for  specialized  work  in  the  regular  course  for  the 
bachelor'^  degree,  ami  outlines  the  various  courses  of 
instruction.  The  curse-  of  Prof.  L.  A.  Williams  are 
offered  this  year  for  the  first  time.  The  other  new 
chapter  is  a  summary  of  the  work  of  the  University 
Extension  Department.  It  contains  a  brief  state- 
ment of  the  public  service  performed  by  each  of  the 
-even  sub-divisions  of  the  Bureau,  gives  a  list  of  the 
lectures  offered  by  the  Faculty,  and  announce-  the 
correspondence  courses  at  present  given.  Only  from 
such  a  summary  a-  this — which,  by  the  way.  will  be 
reprinted  from  the  catalogue — can  one  form  an  ap- 
proximate idea  of  bhe  extent  of  the  work  and  of  the 
general  participation  in  it  by  nearly  all  members  of 
the  faculty. 

Throughout,  the  courses  "f  instruction  have  under- 
gone such  revision  as  continuous  growth  each  year 


tes.  The  newly  created  Department  of  Elec- 
trical Engineering,  under  Prof.  I  I  has  been 
separated  from  the  Department  of  Physics  and  ap- 
-  in  a  different  place  in  the  catalogue.  The  entire 
announcement  of  the  courses  in  Electricity  has  been 
revised,  and  new  courses  have  been  add  h  the 
undergraduate  and  graduate  section-.  Changes  are 
also  to  be  found  in  the  Department  of  English,  where 
Prof.  Greenlaw's  courses  are  announced  for  the  first 
time,  and  in  the  Department  of  German,  where  addi- 
tional courses  are  given  by  Professors  Brown  and 
Ehyne.  In  the  Department  of  Mathematics,  Prof. 
Henderson  offers  a  new  course  in  Analytic  Geometry, 
and  in  the  Department  of  Zoology  Prof.  Wilson  an- 
nounces a  course  for  High  School  teachers. 


THE  FACTS  IN  THE  GAMBLING  INCIDENT 

Through  the  holdup  of  a  check  at  a  local  bank,  a 
"crap"  game  was  discovered  in  which  were  involved 
six  students,  the  track  trainer  ami  several  citize  - 
the  town.  The  students  were  immediately  dis- 
missed from  College,  the  trainer's  conn, 
with  the  University  instantly  ceased.  and 
four  of  the  students  and  the  others  involved 
were  bound  over  to  court  ami  fined  from  ten 
to  twenty  dollars.  In  Sunday's  papers  a  long  story' 
appeared  playing  the  case  up  in  a  spectacular  manner. 
At  mail  time  students,  as  is  their  custom,  gathered  at 
tin-  postoffice.  When  one  of  the  student-  saw  that  his 
name  had  been  published  in  some  of  the  state  papers 
for  participating  in  a  crap  game  he  went  over  to 
the  correspondent,  put  his  hand  on  his  shoulder,  and 
asked  for  an  explanation.  The  students  standing 
nearest  induced  this  student  with  little  effort  to  leave 
the  correspondent.  Xot  a  single  blow  was  pass 
This  incident  was  sensationally  colored  up  in 
terms  by  the  correspondent.  There  were  students 
and  professors  in  the  postoffice  as  a  part  of  the  "mob" 
who  did  not  know  that  anything  had  happened.  The 
anger  that  was  naturally  felt  by  some  was  not  even 
suggestive  of  mob  violence.  The  postmaster  and  his 
assistants  who  were  in  the  postoffice  the  whole  time 
diil  not  know  that  anything  had  happened.  Only  a 
small  number  of  students  knew  that  anything  was 
said  to  have  happened  until  they  saw  it  glaring'  in  the 
newspapers  next  morning.  The  overwrought  ruis- 
representations  have  run  their  own  course.  The  facts 
stand  out  in  unbroken  clearness  that  the  heart  of  the 
University  was  never  mure  vigorous  and  sound  and 
clean,  and  that  the  student  behavior  in  the  postoffice 
was  in  keeping  with  the  most  orderly  year  the  Uni- 
versity has  known  in  this  and  perhaps  in  any  college

CAROLINA'S  LATEST  LAWYERS 

By  furnishing  twenty-seven  out  of  the  total  num- 
ber of  forty-seven  men  who  passed  the  law  examina- 
tion at  Raleigh,  February  2,  1914,  the  University 
Law  School  has  again  shown  that  as  a  law  school, 
few  schools,  if  any  at  all,  have  it  beaten.  It  is  also  a 
noticeable  fact  that  twenty-seven  out  of  twenty-eight 
of  the  appliqants  from  Carolina  passed.  The  one 
who  failed  to  pass  had  failed  to  pass  here  and  had 
not  received  a  certificate  as  had  the  other  twenty-seven.

CAROLINA'S    RECENT    ELECTRICAL    ENGINEERS 

Students  in  electrical  engineering  at  the  Univer- 
sity have  recently  given  splendid  account  of  them- 
selves. J.  M.  Labberton,  '13,  formerly  assistant  in 
electrical  engineering  in  the  University  is  an.  instruc- 
tor in  the  educational  department  of  the  Westing- 
house  Electric  and  Manufacturing  Company.  He 
writes  that  Carolina  men  in  the  student  apprentice 
company  at  the  Westinghouse  shops  rank  third  in 
training,  the  only  other  students  ranking  higher  be- 
ing those  from  the  very  highly  specialized  engineer- 
ing departments  of  Cornell  and  Purdue.  Thad  Voils, 
'12,  is  an  electrical  engineer  for  the  Westinghouse 
Company  in  Cincinnati.  A.  R.  Martin,  '12,  is  a  sales

CLIPPINGS  FROM  THE  PRESS 


CIVIC    EDUCATION    THROUGH    DISCUSSION 

['Commendation  of  a  very  high  order  has  been 
given  the  basic  idea  of  the  Bulletin  on  Public  Dis- 
cussion and  Debate  recently  issued  in  the  Extension 
Series.  This  commendation  comes  from  the  United 
States  Bureau  of  Education  in  the  form  of  a  circular 
letter  addressed  to  .educators  and  social  workers 
throughout  the  entire  United  States,  having  been 
written  by  Arthur  W.  Dunn  under  the  direcri.ni  of 
the  Commissioner  of  Education. — Editor.] 

The  arousing  of  a  State-wide  civic  consciousness 
and  civic  interest  among  young  and  old  by  means  of 
discussion  of  live  questions  of  local  concern  in  the 
schoolhouse  and  at  the  country  cross-roads,  is  the 
undertaking  of  the  University  of  North  .Carolina. 
The  University  stands  on  the  doctrine  of  Wendell 
Phillips  that  "agitation  is  education.  Agitation  is 
marshalling  the  conscience  of  a  nation  to  mold  its 
laws." 

"With  a  record  of  emphasis  upon  debate  from  its 
founding  in  IT'.».">,  the  University  has  gone  about  it 
to  systematize  ami  universalize  discussion  of  every 
conceivable  question  of  vital  local  interest,  not  only 
by  the  youth  of  the  State  in  the  high  schools,  but  by 


adult  organizations  of  farmers,  of  women,  or  of  any 
other  available  group. 

For  some  years  graduates  of  the  University  have 
established  debating  clubs  in  the  schools  where  they 
have  gone  to  teach,  members  of  the  facility  have  ans- 
wered communications,  and  materials  have  been  sent 
to  all  parts  of  the  State  from  the  University  library 
and  the  State  library  commission.  Recently  a  high 
school  debating  union  was  organized,  including  more 
than  one  hundred  schools,  to  conduct  State-'wide 
debating  contests. 

As  a  part  of  its  extensive  plans  in  this  direction, 
the  Extension  Bureau  of  the  University  has  just 
issued  a  manual  on  Public  Discussion  and  Debate 
"to  stimulate  discussion  of  public  questions  chiefly 
by  high  school  students,  but  also  by  community  clubs 
and  public  organization."  This  manual  suggests  a 
large  number  of  questions  of  immediate  interest  in 
north  Carolina.  A  considerable  number  of  the  ques- 
tions are  analyzed,  arguments  pro  and  con  being 
given.  References  arc  given  to  easily  available  mater- 
ial, much  of  which  may  be  obtained  by  application  to 
the  University,  to  the  library  commission,  or  to  public 
offices.  In  addition  to  this,  instructions  are  given  as 
to  how  to  organize  for  such  discussions  and  how  to 
conduct  them. 

While  some  of  the  questions  suggested  for  discus- 
sion  are  of  national  significance,  the  chief  value  of 
the  work  of  the  University  lies  in  the  way  it  focuses 
attention  upon  real  problems  of  immediate  local  con- 
cern. For  example,  it  is  ''Resolved, 

"That —  — County  should   provide   a  medical 

inspector  of  schools ; 

"That  all  county  officers  in County  should 

be  nominated  through  a  legalized  direct  primary; 

''That  the  stockman  is  a  worse  enemy  to  the  forests 
of  North  Carolina  than  the  lumberman ; 

"That  the  town  of should  establish  a  tax- 
supported  library ; 

"That  it  is  expedient  for County  to  in- 
crease the  salaries  of  its  public  school-teachers  at 
least  25  per  cent ; 

"That,  the  farmers  of should  form  a  co- 
operative marketing  association." 

These  are  only  illustrative  of  a  wide  range  of  sub- 
jects. 

The  manual  points  out  that  ''public  discussion  in. 
North  Carolina  during  the  past  decade  has  under- 
gone a  most  desirable  change.  Emphasis  hitherto 
placed  largely  on  things  political  and  national,  is  be- 
ing placed  on  questions  affecting  the  every  day  life 
of  North  Carolina.  To  make  this  change  even  more 
far-reaching,     every     North     Carolina     community 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW

should  resolve  itself  into  a  community  club  and  de- 
vote itself  seriously  to  the  quiet,  persistent  study  of 
its  economic,  social,  educational,  and  religious  prob- 
lems. 

''The  plan  of  organization  and  the  method  of  pro- 
cedure in  such  clubs  should  be  simpler  than  of  school 
societies.  Their  object  should  be  open,  frank,  earnest 
discussion.  The  building  up  of  a  strong,  constructive, 
community  spirit,  and  the  community  interest  should 
be  a  second  object.  Out  of  such  discussions,  charac- 
terized by  such  a  spirit,  will  inevitably  come  the  solu- 
tion of  problems  upon  which  the  welfare  of  the  com- 
munity absolutely  depends. 

"If  a  place  of  meeting  is  the  only  obstacle  in  the 
way  of  the  formation  of  such  a  club,  the  local  school- 
house  can  well  be  used  for  this  purpose.  It  ought 
to  be  widely  used  and  made  the  real  social  center  of 
the  community." 


UNIVERSITY'S  VITAL  RELIGION 

The  Observer  cannot  pass  by  without  commenting 
editorially  upon  the  news  dispatch  in  yesterday  morn- 
ing's paper  which  gave  in  detail  the  work  of  the  Y. 
M.  C.  A.  of  the  University  for  the  negroes  of  Chapel 
Hill.  Under  the  auspices  of  the  Association  a  series 
of  lectures  was  given  upon  North  Carolina's  negro 
problem  by  members  of  the  faculty,  and  thereupon 
a  department  was  established  by  the  young  men  for 
the  study  of  the  problem.  The  work  of  this  depart- 
ment has  been  to  make  a  careful,  house-to-house  in- 
vestigation into  the  living  conditions  of  the  negroes 
of  the  village ;  to  conduct  Sunday  schools  for  them ; 
and,  most  important  of  all,  to  carry  on,  five  nights  out 
of  the  week,  a  night  school  where  negro  boys  who  work 
all  day  can  receive  instruction  in  the  elements  of  edu- 
cation. 

In  oldeu  times  the  religious  work  of  college  stu- 
dents consisted  in  listening  to  lectures  by  spectacled 
professors  upon  the  battles  of  the  Book  of  Joshua  and 
in  reciting  the  names  of  the  Kings  of  Israel  with  the 
dates  of  each.  But  nowadays,  the  spirit  of  democracy 
has  crept — crept  back — into  religious  work.  Within 
their  Y.  M.  C.  A.  organizations  the  students  conduct 
Bible  classes  of  themselves,  for  themselves  and  by 
themselves  and  the  inspiration  which  they  receive 
from  these  self-conducted  classes  is  so  great  that  it 
expresses  itself  in  practical  work  such  as  that  now  be- 
ing carried  on  at  the  University.  The  secretary  of 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  of  the  University  is  Mr.  Frank  P. 
Graham  of  Charlotte,  the  son  of  Prof.  Alexander 
Craham.  Under  his  leadership  the  University  Asso- 
ciation is  becoming  the  leading  student  Association 
of  the  South.  We  congratulate  him  and  bid  him 
Godspeed  in  his  work. — Charlotte  Observer,  March  2. 


THE  HIGH  SCHOOL  DEBATES 

At  the  high  school  debates  to  be  held  in  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  towns  in  the  State  on  Friday  night  of 
this  week  thirty  thousand  North  Carolinians  will 
hear  discussed  by  six  hundred  youthful  debaters  the 
question  of  the  initiative  and  referendum.  These  de- 
bates will  be  of  great  interest  not  only  to  the  speakers 
themselves,  but  also  to  the  listeners  who  are  going  to 
hear  matters  of  instructive  value.  The  occasion  is 
the  holding  of  the  preliminary  debates  in  the  second 
annual  contest  of  the  North  Carolina  Debating  Union, 
conducted  by  the  Dialectic  and  Philanthropic  Lit- 
erary Societies  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina. 

North  Carolinians  are  unusually  well  informed 
about  political  problems,  and  they  like  to  discuss  and 
hear  discussed  governmental  questions.  The  success- 
ful organization  of  those  among  the  rising  genera- 
tion who  are  interested  in  public  speaking  and  poli- 
tical thinking  into  a  Debating  Union  is  a  fine  means 
of  allowing  the  youth  of  the  State  to  inform  itself 
carefully  and  fully — and  to  instruct  their  elders,  too, 
perhaps — in  regard  to  problems  of  government  thai, 
although  they  do  not  have  to  be  settled  tomorrow,  will 
surely  come  up  for  decision  in  the  life  time  of  the 
majority  of  those  who  speak  on  Friday  night.  It  will 
lead  to  saner  and  more  jirogressive  political  thinking. 
Training  for  leadership  in  the  settling  of  such  prob- 
lems as  the  initiative  and  referendum  is  certain  to  be 
the  result  of  this  movement  organized  by  the  Literary 
Societies  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina,  which 
by  means  of  this  are  rendering  a  distinct  service  to  the 
State. — News  and  Observer,  March,  ISth. 


UNIVERSITY    FACULTY'S    REACH 

One  of  the  most  interesting  features  of  the  presi- 
dent's report  just  issued  from  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  is  the  section  which  records  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  University  faculty  during  the  past 
year.  The  facts  given  in  this  section  show  an  extra- 
ordinary activity  on  the  part  of  the  faculty.  One 
hundred  and  sixty-one  addresses,  largely  of  a  popular 
nature,  have  been  given  by  these  gentlemen  in  North 
Carolina  in  the  past  12  months,  and  61  articles  and 
books,  the  latter  of  a  more  scholarly  nature,  have 
been  published  as  well.  In  addition,  the  faculty  has 
published  five  numbers  of  the  Elisha  Mitchell  Scien- 
tific Journal,  three  numbers  of  the  James  Sprunt 
Historical  Publications,  two  volumes  of  Studies  in 
Philology,  four  numbers  of  the  High  School  Bulletin. 
These  are  regular  publications  issued  throughout  the 
year.  We  doubt  if  any  faculty  in  a  college  south  of 
Baltimore  can  show  so  large  an  output. 

In  this  connection  the  Observer  will  call  attention 
to   a   new   department   recently  established   at   the

University.  It  is  the  department  of  Applied  Eco- 
nomics and  Rural  Sociology.  This  department  will 
make  a  direct  and  scientific  study  of  the  economic 
and  sociological  conditions  of  North  Carolina.  The 
object  of  its  work  will  be  to  discover  and  devise  ways 
in  which  rural  conditions  in  North  Carolina  can  be 
bettered.  This  is  a  kind  of  University  extension 
work  that  appeals  to  us  strongly.  We  hope  that  great 
good  will  come. — Charlotte  Observer.  February  22,

TWO  HELPFUL  AGENCIES 

For  the  benefit  of  the  many  North  Carolina  boys 
and  girls  and  older  persons  who  write  The  Progres- 
sive Farmer  for  material  to  help  them  in  debates  or 
the  preparation  of  speeches,  we  wish  to  say  that 
we  unfortunately  do  not  have  material  to  offer  in  such 
cases,  but  we  are  glad  to  mention  two  public  agencies 
that  can  help  them  and  will  do  so  gladly  and  freely. 
These  are  the  Bureau  of  Extension,  University  of 
North  Carolina,  Chapel  Hill,  N.  C,  and  the  State 
Library  Commission,  Raleigh,  N.  C.  The  Library 
Commission  will  furnish  books  and  magazines  bear- 
ing on  the  subject  you  indicate — the  borrower  to  pay 
postage  both  ways — and  the  University  Bureau  of 
Extension  will  give  specific  information  and  general 
help  when  desired.  Our  Farmers'  Union  brethren 
will  often  find  it  worth  while  to  consult  both  these 
agencies  in  arranging  programs  for  local  or  county 
meetings. — Progressive  Farmer,  March  7,  1914. 


BRANSON    FOR   NORTH    CAROLINA 

About  the  'best  educational  news  for  the  State  this 
month  is  the  announcement  that  Eugene  C.  Branson, 
former  President  of  the  State  Normal  School  of 
Athens,  Georgia,  will  become  professor  of  applied 
economics  and  rural  sociology  in  the  University  of 
North  Carolina. 

Prof.  Branson  is  an  educational  pragmatist.  He 
studies  conditions  even  more  ardently  than  text-books, 
and  makes  his  class-room  work  function  in  the  every- 
day economics  of  living.  Through  the  new  chair  of 
applied  economics  and  rural  sociology  in  the  Univer- 
sity, he  will  introduce  a  new  and  vital  element  into 
the  educational  work  of  the  State. — 'North  Carolina

ALUMNI  REVIEW  IS  OUT 

The  Alumni  Review,  published  by  the  University 
of  North  Carolina,  is  out  in  its  second  volume  and 
fifth  number.  It  is  one  of  the  finest  college  publica- 
tions that  ever  came  out  in  this  country.  One  of  the 
leaders  is  a  splendid  article  by  Dr.  C.  A.  Smith,  of 


Charlottesville,  Va. 

"  I  find  the  Alumni  Review  intensely  interesting 
and  congratulate  you  heartily  on  its  insides  and  out- 
sides."

a  welcome  visitor." 
Wilmington,  N.  C. 

"  The  Bureau  of  Extension  is  doing  a  wonderful 
work  both  for  the  University  and  the  State.  In  car- 
rying out  its  program  of  service  it  is  advertising  the 
University  in  a  worth-while  capacity  to  a  great  many 
folks  who  have  held  an  hostile  opinion.  And  it  is  a

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW

AN  EXECUTIVE   SECRETARY    FOR  THE  ALUMNI 

The  Alumni  Council  at  a  meeting  in  Durham  on 
March  the  10  th  resolved  to  lay  before  the  Board  of 
Trustees  and  the  Geneial  Alumni  Association.  *.t 
their  respective  meetings  on  June  the  2nd,  a  definite 
request  to  create  jointly  an  office  whose  incumbent 
shall  be  known  as  Executive-Secretary  of  the  Alumni 
or  by  some  more  appropriate  title. 

The  Council  will  recommend  that  this  officer  be 
made  a  member  of  the  University  faculty  and  be  re- 
quired to  reside  at  Chapel  Hill  and  devote  all  his 
time  to  the  duties  of  his  office.  His  functions  as 
secretary  of  the  Alumni  shall  be,  for  example,  to  as- 
sist in  the  organization  of  new  county  and  city  alum- 
ni associations ;  to  suggest  and  aid  in  furthering  acti- 
vities of  organized  associations;  to  collect  data  about 
widely  scattered  and  now  lost  alumni,  data  for  the 
publication  of  a  General  Catalogue  of  the  Alumni, 
perhaps  the  most  poignant  need  at  present  in  Univer- 
sity activities,  from  the  view  point  of  both  efficiency 
and  sentiment;  to  publish  the  Alumni  Review.  His 
functions  as  an  officer  of  the  University  are  to  be  de- 
termined by  special  need  as  interpreted  by  the  Exe- 
cutive. For  example,  there  is  an  insistent  demand 
for  a  man  unhampered  by  academic  duties  to  man- 
age the  machinery  of  the  Extension  Lectures  Bureau 
and  a  bureau  for  the  supply  of  teachers  to  schools. 
He  should  be  the  genera]  field  agent  of  the  University. 
Suffice  it  that  there  is  multifold  work  sufficient  to 
tax  the  ability  of  a  very  capable  man.  Much  of  this 
work  is  now  being  done  by  the  teaching  members  of 
the  faculty,  at  a  loss  in  efficiency  in  the  lecture  room 
and  other  purely  academic  activities,  as  well  as  a  loss 
to  the  extension  work  itself  from  unavoidable  lack  of 
concentration. 

The  Council  will  recommend  that  the  salary  of  the 
officer  be  paid  partly  out  of  a  general  fund  contribut- 
ed by  the  alumni,  partly  by  special  appropriation  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  proper  division  to  be  de- 
tenu i nod  upon. 

The  qualifications  for  such  an  office,  it  is  clear,  are 
very  high.  Its  incumbent  should  be  an  alumnus  of 
the  University,  well  acquainted  with  its  history  and 
keenly  sensitive  to  its  traditions  and  to  the  North 
Carolina  -pint.  Energy  and  enthusiasm  might 
bring  failure  without  tad  and  self-restraint.  He 
will  rub  elbows  with  the  besl  of  scholars  and  be  en- 
tertained in  the  homes  of  the  plain  people  of  North 
Carolina.  It  will  be  in  bis  power  more  than  any 
others  to  interpret  the  University  to  the  people  and 
create  for  it  possibilities  of  new  usefulness  to  them. 

All  the  while  there  will  be  the  crowding  details  of 


his  office  calling  for  the  very  highest  business  efficien- 
cy.  There  is  such  a  man  somewhere,  the  demand  for 
his  is  insistent.  Will  the  trustees  and  alumni  bring 
the  two  together  ?  It  will  cost,  but  every  cent  thus 
spent  will  firing  dividends  eventually,  not  in  cents 
but  service. — W.  S.  B. 


ALFRED  NOYES 

A  notable  occasion  in  the  mental  life  of  the  student 
body  was  the  reading  of  his  own  poems  by  Alfred 
]SToyes  on  the  evening  of  March  25.  The  episode 
marks  a  new  step  forward  in  our  attitude  towards 
literature  and  the  life  of  the  spirit.  Surely  it  is  a 
matter  of  signal  moment  to  all  of  us  that  a  poet  can 
come  here  and  be  greeted  by  an  audience  that  reached 
to  the  roof.  To  everyone  there  that  night,  something 
not  less  inspiring  than  the  impetuous  poetry  of  Noyes 
was  the  collective  sense  of  the  crowd,  its  unit  charac- 
ter. How  often  is  the  effect  of  a  public  occasion 
spoiled  through  indifference,  half-heartedness,  or  ill- 
concealed  boredom  '.  There  was  no  hint  of  this  at  the 
reading  by  Noyes.  It  is  doubtful  if  Noyes,  anywhere, 
ever  encountered  a  more  intelligently  responsive  au- 
dience. Such  a  spirit  is  a  genuine  asset — its  value  to 
the  University  cannot  be  calculated.  It  unites  us 
here  with  the  best  everywhere — it  sets  the  standard 
to  which  it  is  most  desirable  for  us  always  to  measure 
up. 

This  is  no  place  for  an  appreciation  of  Noyes.  It 
is  enough  to  say  that  he  comes  to  us  with  a  sort  of  ag- 
gressive  challenge,  which  rings  out  with  all  the  bouy- 
ancy  of  virile  manhood.  He  gives  us  a  man's  poetry: 
robust,  red-Wooded,  forthright.  He  didn't  "read" 
his  poetry:  he  said  it.  He  gave  it  to  us  as  he  felt  it 
and  as  he  had  created  it — surely  the  most  significant 
confession  of  that  brief  hour.  Aside  from  form  and 
content,  poetry  thus  presented  carries  a  distinct  char- 
acter-message. When  poetry  thus  presented  is  rich  in 
both  form  and  content,  the  message  goes  straight  to  the 
whole  man.  T  think  that  is  the  secret  of  Xoyes :  he 
appeals  to  the  whole  man.  Significant  of  the  atti- 
tude of  the  students  are  these  truly  important  words 
in  the  Tar  Heel  editorial:  "Let  a  real  poet  speak  to 
you  and  he  lifts  you  out  of  yourself  by  the  power  of 
his  own  soul.     No  University  man  can  now  think  of 

poetry  us  necessarily   feniini r  mystical  or  nol  to  be 

understood." — A.  H. 


THE  TAR   HEEL  OF  AGE 
On  February  23  the  Tar  Heel,  organ  of  the  Ath- 
letic  Association   of  the  University  and  publication 
of  the  student  body  (>f  the  University,  completed  its 
twenty-first  year.

W.  S.  BERNARD    '00,  Alumni  Editor 


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 
hut  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 
and  class  contributed  every  month  will  be  greatly  appreciated.

in  communication  with  their  respective  class  secretaries  and 
with  W.  S.  Bernard,  Chairman  of  Committee  on  Class  Re- 
unions, Chapel  Hill,  N.  C.

Carolina  friends  have  visited  the  armory  on  Madison  Avenue 
to  see  the  manoeuvers  of  his  troop.  They  have  also  had  the 
pleasure  of  loafing  with  him  at  the  Squadron  Club  nearby.

the  University  on  Monday  and  Tuesday,  June  1-2  at  the  time 
of  commencement.  You  and  all  the  members  of  the  class 
ought  to  be  there.  Make  the  right  decision  now  and  send 
word  that  you  will  be  present  at  the  reunion.  Also,  don't 
fail  to  send  some  "dope"  about  yourself  for  publication  in 
the  class  record  which  should  be  distributed  before  you  come

campus  as  some  of  the  other  classes  are  planning  to  do?

nimously reached  two   conclusions: 

First :  That  there  never  has  been  a  class  reunion  at  Chapel 
Hill.  There  have  been,  and  in  fact  are  every  June,  lots  of 
near-reunions,  pseudo-reunions,  mock-reunions,  but  as  for  a 
real,  thorough-going,  everybody-present  reunion — the  kind 
where  a  fellow  can  jam  against  the  man  who  jammed  him 
at  Commons,  stick  the  man  who  stuck  him  at  Eubanks,  and 
loaf  again  with  the  whole  crowd  around  the  well — there  never 
has  been  one. 

Second :  That  what  it  takes  to  have  a  real,  thorough-going, 
everybody-present,   etc.,   etc.,   reunion,  Naught  Nine  has  got. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


143 


The  President,  Willie  P.,  has  appointed  a  reunion  committee 
and  the  undersigned  is  a  member.  We  have  decided  that  the 
first  gun  to  be  fired  in  the  campaign  for  our  real  reunion 
is  a  first-class,  breezy,  newsy,  Bulletin  telling  Who's  Who  in 
Naught  Nine  and  What  He's  Done.  We  have  engaged  the 
finest  literary  talent  in  the  class — and  therefore  in  the  world — 
to  write  this  Bulletin,  but  he  is  now  worrying  the  Committee 
to  death  calling  for  copy.  What  we  want  you  to  do  is  to 
fill  out  the  enclosed  blank  giving  the  information  about  your- 
self. All  the  questions  are  self  explanatory  except  possibly 
the  last  one.  What  we  want  in  answer  to  this  question  is 
any  interesting  item  of  news  about  yourself  that  you  would 
like  to  know  if  it  had  happened  to  the  other  fellow — anything 
from  the  most  recent  murders  you  have  committed  to  the 
number  of  times  your  girl  has  turned  you  down.  You  will 
readily  recognize  that  as  far  as  furnishing  real  intersting 
material  for  the  Bulletin  is  concerned  this  question  is  the 
most  important. 

You  may  have  some  natural  reserve  about  answering  the 
questions  about  yourself,  but  please  pass  up  your  reserve  and 
answer  the  questions  fully.  Otherwise  it  will  be  utterly  im- 
possible to  get  out  a  good  Bulletin.  If  you  want  to  know 
about  the  others  you  have  got  to  do  your  part  and  let  them 
know  about  you. 

We  are  enclosing  also  a  list  of  all  the  members  of  the 
class.  Please  go  over  this  list  and  give  us  the  same  informa- 
tion about  the  others,  or  such  of  them  as  you  know,  that 
is  asked  about  yourself.  This  is  extremely  important  and  we 
certainly  hope  you  will  be  willing  to  help  us  out  in  this  re- 
spect to  the  limit  of  your  knowledge. 

Please  mail  everything  back  to  me  at  once.

—Nineteen  Eleven  is  taking  time  by  the  forelock.     From  the 

following   paragraphs   taken    from   the   letter   written   by    R. 


G.  Stockton,  chairman  of  the  reunion  committee  of  the  class, 
it  is  evident  that  the  "old  grads"  will  see  something  new  under 
the   sun   at  reunion  time,    1916. 

"Although  the  first  reunion  of  the  class  of  191 1  will  not 
be  held  until  1916,  the  following  men  were  appointed  by  the 
president,  W.  A.  Dees,  in  January,  1913,  to  make  arrange- 
ments to  celebrate  the  first  "Home  Coming"  of  this  class: 
C.  E.  Mcintosh,  E.  J.  Wellons,  I.  C.  Moser,  Kenneth  Tanner, 
R.   G.   Stockton,   Chr. 

"Notwithstanding  it  is  over  two  years  before  the  members 
of  10,11,  augmented  in  numbers,  will  advance  on  Chapel  Hill, 
this  committee  has  already  begun  to  devise  ways  and  means  of 
making  this  event  a  great  occasion.  One  novel  idea  is  now 
being  considered  by  the  committee,  which,  if  carried  out,  will 
alone  make  this  reunion  one  that  no  member  of  the  class 
can  afford  to  miss."

1913 

— Greetings !  With  the  approach  of  Spring  there  has  come  a 
wide-spread  demand  that  the  class  of  1913  hold  a  one-year 
reunion  this  commencement.  It  is  hoped  that  by  this  meeting, 
held  before  many  of  our  fellows  have  moved  out  of  the  State 
and  at  a  time  when  but  few  will  be  kept  at  home  because  of 
a  new  wife,  we  may  further  cement  the  feeling  of  brotherhood 
formed   in  undergraduate   days  and  give   a   firmness   to   our

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


class  organization  that  will  serve  as  a  sustaining  strength  to 
the  University  in  all  of  her  endeavors. 

The  president  and  the  secretary  of  the  class  have  therefore 
called  a  reunion  for  Tuesday,  June  2nd,  commencement  of 
1914,  and  have  appointed  the  committee  named  below  to  make 
all  plans  for  it.  Arrangements  will  be  made  for  a  smoker 
and  other  features  of  entertainment  that  will  bring  back  vivid- 
ly remembrances  of  college  days.  Your  co-operation  with 
this  committee  in  making  suggestions  and  in  writing  promptly 
of  your  expectation  to  attend  will  aid  materially  in  the  plans. 

We  hope  that  every  member  of  the  class,  no  matter  whether 
he  received  his  degree  last  Spring  or  dropped  out  after  the 
Fall  term  of  his  freshman  year,  will  attend  this  reunion. 
1913  made  a  record  during  its  undergraduate  days  that  has 
been  rarely,  if  ever,  equaled,  one  such  as  called  forth  from 
the  editor  of  the  Alumni  Review  the  remark,  "The  loyalty 
and  spirit  of  1913  constitute  one  of  Alma  Mater's  most  cher- 
ished memories."  It  is  highly  fitting  that  our  class  should 
initiate  the  movement  of  one-year  reunions  and  it  is  in- 
cumbent upon  us  to  make  the  affair  a  complete  success  and 
set  a  high  standard. 

In  order  to  insure  complete  success  your  presence  is  needed. 
Please  notify  E.  R.  Rankin,  secretary  of  the  reunion  com- 
mittee, of  your  plans  to  be  present,  and  make  any  suggestions 
that  may  occur  to  you.  If  any  one  has  not  replied  to  the 
list  of  questions  sent  out  last  fall  by  Secretary  Wiggins,  it 
is  hoped  that  he  will  do  so  at  once,  so  that  the  statistics  of 
the  class  will  be  full  and  reliable. 

The  University  expects  every  one  of  her  sons  to  do  his 
duty:    Let's  every  one  be  present  on  Tuesday,  June  2nd,  1914.

Nathan  Bryan  Whitfield 

Colonel  Nathan  Bryan  Whitfield  died  at  his  home  on  North 
Queen  street,  in  Kinston,  N.  C,  on  March  21,  after  long 
suffering.  Death  was  due  in  part  to  a  stroke  of  paralysis 
suffered  several  years  ago,  from  which  he  at  one  time  was 
apparently  greatly  improved,  but  recently  relapsed.  Colonel 
Whitfield  was  more  than  70  years  old  and  was  one  of  Kin- 
ston's  best-known  citizens.  Dr.  Wm.  Cobb  Whitfield,  a  son, 
of  Pitt  county,  and  three  daughters  survive. 

Colonel  Whitfield  was  a  native  of  eastern  North  Carolina. 
His  father,  Maj.-Gen.  Whitfield  of  the  North  Carolina  militia, 
and  at  one  time  famous  state  senator,  operated  the  first 
steamer  on  Neuse  river.  Colonel  Whitfield  graduated  from 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  in  the  class  of  1857.  He 
served  in  several  public  offices,  including  that  of  representa- 
tive in  the  General  Assembly  prior  to  the  war  between  the 
states.  In  the  field  against  the  northern  forces,  he  served 
as  the  commanding  officer  of  the  Eighth  North  Carolina 
regiment,  principally  engaged  along  the  coast.  After  the  war, 
Colonel  Whitfield  was  at  various  times  a  county  commissioner, 
representative  from  Lenior  county  to  the  Legislature  and 
instrumental  in  educational  matters  of  state-wide  import. 
He  was  for  many  years  the  senior  warden  of  Holy  Innocents 
Episcopal  church,  president  of  the  county  Farmers'  Alliance 
and  president  of  the  Farmers'  Mutual  Fire  Insurance  asso- 
ciation, of  this  county.

Hon.  B.  F.  Grady,  A.  B.  1857,  died  at  his  home  in  Clinton, 
N.  C,  on  March  6.  He  was  born  in  Duplin  County  in  1822. 
He  taught  in  Duplin  County  for  two  years  after  graduation 
and  was  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Austin  College,  Hunt- 
ersville,  Texas,  i8s9-'6i.  He  served  in  the  Confederate  Army 
in  Cleburne's  Brigade.  After  the  close  of  the  war  he  settled 
at  his  old  home  as  a  planter,  served  in  the  State  Legislature, 
and  was  member  of  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  1891- 
'95.  He  was  author  of  "The  North  Against  the  South,"  a 
book  discussing  the  constitutionality  of  secession.

Sir: — Permit  me  to  inform  you  of  the  death  of  two  mem- 
bers of  the  class  of  1859,  to  wit: 

Rev.  Calvin  N.  Morrow  died  in  Orange  County,  N.  C, 
March  i4,  1914,  in  the  82nd  year  of  his  age.  Ordained  to 
the  Presbyterian  ministry  in  1863,  he  gave  more  than  half  a 
century  to  preaching  the  Gospel  in  North  Carolina  and 
Florida. 

Frank  P.  Long  died  in  Jackson,  Tenn.,  March  27,  1914,  in 
the  77th  year  of  his  age.  He  was  for  many  years  in  the 
railroad  service.

We  are  all  praise  for  the  fellow  who  can 
win!  By  the  by,  you  fellows  started  a 
winner  a  few  years  ago.  We  first  offered 
Fatima  Cigarettes  for  sale  in  the  college 
towns.  We  put  excellent  tobacco  in  this 
smoke — we  watched  you!  Quick  enough 
you  discovered  them,  and  that  the  tobacco 
was  likable,  and  from  this  small  begin- 
ning they  have  kept  going"  all  over 
this  big  country  until  today  they  are  the 
biggest  selling  cigarette  in  the  U.  S.  A.! 
Plain  package,  but  20  choice  ones.
