THE ALUMNI REVIEW
Volume III
DECEMBER, 1914
Number 3
OPINION AND COMMENT
THE FOOTBALL The 1914 football season is ended.
SEASON Carolina won the decision in nine
events and in the final tenth lost
to Virginia. In spite of the bitterness of this defeat,
the season, when viewed in the large, presents many
elements of success, more by far than any since 1905.
The 1905 team lost several games and won from Vir-
ginia; the 1914: team won every game except that
with Virginia, including those with Georgia and
Vanderbilt. Georgia defeated Clemson and tied Au-
burn. Carolina rolled up a score of 41 to 6 against
Georgia. Vanderbilt was crippled for the rest of her
season by the Tar Heels' gruelling victory, 10 to 9.
Carolina reached top form in the Georgia game and
got into a slump after the Vanderbilt game. She
never quite regained her previous form.
A few things are to be gathered from the experi-
ence of the season. First, spring practice is more
advisable than summer practice. Second, a team
does not have the second nature confidence essential
for uncorking new styles of play that have not been
fundamentally assimilated through intercollegiate
scrimmage. Third, interference is the most import-
ant art in the game of football.
Back of the record of the season stand three men,
Heach Coach Trenchard, a steam engine of energy,
backfield coach Logan Cunningham, and line coach
Arthur Bleuthenthal. One year further back are
Tom Wilson and Tol Pendleton who last fall inau-
gurated the Princeton formation as the basis for the
Carolina system of play. Back of them and shoulder-
ing the load stand the alumni. Their name is legion
and their leaders are Messrs. George Stephens, James
A. Gray, Jr., Albert Cox, and Clem Wright.
Under the direction of these aggressive alumni and
these exceptional coaches we have come a long way
and are stil! moving ahead. From 66 to it was a lonu;
call to victories over Georgia and Vanderbilt. From
these victories it is not a far cry to Virginia. Vir-
ginia del en da est!
The large recepits from the Virginia game, the
wise direction of the resident athletic council, and
the efficient management of Graduate Manager Wool-
len and Student Manager Boushall, all combined to
knock the bottom out of Carolina's athletic debt. The
financial statement represents progress, which in
view of Carolina's heavy indebtedness, was not to be
despised.
The greatest fact of all to be placed to Carolina's
credit was the conduct of the students in Rich-
mond. The moral sentiment of the large body of stu-
dents was strong on the side of a worthy representa-
tion of the University not only on the field but also
in the city.
nan
THE SOCIETIES In its ]Srovember issue. The Re-
AGAIN VIEW carried a summary of an ar-
ticle on the Societies by W. P.
Fuller, of the student body, the conclusion of which
was to the effect that the Societies had lost their place
of pre-eminence in college life and were confronted
with the necessity of immediate, thorough-going re-
organization if they would retain their time-honored
I^osition of influence.
Quite naturally the subject presented by Mr. Ful-
ler has more than one side, and a wide divergence of
opinion has been expressed on the campus as to the
real state of afi'airs. The statement of a view oppo-
site to that given by Mr. Fuller appears on another
page over the name of G. A. Martin, '15, a member
of the editorial board of the Magazine, of the debat-
ing council, and for three years an inter-society de-
bater. He hails from the environs of Winston-Salera
and consequently is a member of the Dialectic So-
ciety.
Without further comment on the subject. The Re-
view wishes to record several observations which
may illumine certain phases of the question. These
are that at present there are 430 members of the
two Societies, 197 belonging to the Phi and 233
to the Di. Among these are, this year, the accumu-
lated products of several score of high school debat-
ing societies who have had preliminary training in
debating in their high school contests. Together with
these are others of that tribe of Freshmen who, in
their genuine native "hankering" after the honors of
debate, soon consume all the material posted in the
Library on the query and then carry on a brisk cor-
respondence with the commissioners and governors of
60
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
various states for first-hand expressions of expert
views. This year that tribe, seemingly, has increased
and it has brought to its aid not only the members
of the student body and faculty who usually give aid
in debate, but it has requisitioned the services of the
faculty advisors and has made the matter of prepara-
tion even more serious than formerly.
In addition to this, despite the defeat of last year,
the Societies have, within the past three years, placed
five out of seven inter-collegiate debate victories to
their credit and they have given life and nurture to
the High School Debating Union, which, so far, is
about the healthiest young idea brought forth on the
campus within the past decade.

AUTOMATIC The president of the University of
INCOME Michigan evidently does not have to
PRODUCER give himself special concern over what
the appropriations committees of the
legislature will or will not give the institution over
which he presides. The matter takes care of itself,
while the president and his co-workers, assured in
advance that the growth of the State will result auto-
matically in an increased income, go about the real
work of the University — service to the people.
The Review rejDrints in its entirety the following
editorial note taken from the Ifovember number
of the Michigan Alumnus in which the method of
securing increased income is clearly set forth. No
wonder the editor could use the word "happy" or
even "happiest" while his pen was conveying the de-
lightful intelligence to the "old grads" !
"One of the happiest of the features in the devel-
opment of the University is its method of financial
support by the State. To correspond with the Uni-
versity's growth there is a continual increase in the
wealth and resources of the State, made available at
once through the three-eights of a mill tax. This,
supplemented by the not inconsiderable percentage
from the student and hospital fees and by occasional
but very necessary gifts of various sorts from alumni
and friends of the University, makes up the total in-
come.
"While the capital of endowed universities, when
wisely and conservatively invested, always shows a
tendency to shrink, the state university, supported
by a mill tax, finds its capital constantly increasing
with the growth of the State. The increase of $192,-
000 to the annual income of the University resulting
from the're-equalization of the property in the State,
made by the State Board during the past summer,
is a case in point particularly pleasing to the friends
of the University. The total valuation of property
in the State, according to the tax commissioners, has
increased from approximately $2,288,000,000 in
1912 to $2,800,000,000 in 1914, resulting in an in-
creased income to the University from $858,000 in
1912 to $1,050,000 in 1914. This, together with ap-
proximately $400,000 from student fees, including
the increase in students this year, $30,000 from the
Summer Session, and approximately $200,000 from
the hospitals, as well as about $35,000 from various
minor accounts, gives the University an income for
the present year of $1,930,000."
□ DD
THE FIRST A few years ago several members of
$100,000 the faculty were seated in a railway
car when another member joined the
group with the announcement of a rumored gift of
a half million dollars for the University. Without
waiting for a verification of the truthfulness or false-
ness — it was false — of the rumor, the group proceed-
ed to the discussion of the way in which the money
could be spent to the best advantage by the University.
What to do with the first quarter of the first $100,-
000 was the key question of the discussion.
The Review does not know of any source from
which a gift is to come, it wishes that it did. But it
does not think that the discussion of University needs
is beyond the range of fit subjects for its considera-
tion.
■ nan
GOOD Xo begin with, and this might not
APPEARANCES require SO very much money, a part
of the fund might be devoted to the
improvement of the physical appearances of the
University, both within and without. The Review
does not deprecate the wisdom, the care, the artistic
sense which have evidenced themselves in the im-
proved greensward of the Summer Campus, the per-
manency of the recent campus walk-ways, and the
genuine, joy-forever quality of beauty which every-
where expresses itself in the arboretum. In fact,
these are the very sort of things which The Review
would like to see more of, to see sju'eading to every
section of the campus, even to the back of Memorial
Hall and the environs of the Power Plant and the
Old Commons !
Within doors it would not stop with an occasional
vase of chrisanthemums or fall leaves in the library,
and the well kept woodwork and floors of Davie Hall.
It would like to see the Library floor covered, in whole
or in. part, with a material which, when stepped
upon, would not start echoes vibrating similar to
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
61
those originating in Memorial Hall, but would rather
enable one to go about the quest of books in customary
library quiet. It could also wish, not only when visi-
tors pass this way, but always, that the keys of the
piano in the Chapel might be re-ivoried and the
Chapel itself might j^ass through a renovation or
transformation so complete as to leave it roomy and
airy, and bright, a tit place for the daily and public
gathering of University bodies.
The Review also remembers the old days when
the only lavatories possessed by the University were
under the old library. The present gymnasium and
the bathing facilities of the new dormitories mark a
far advance over the equipment for similar purposes
ten or only five years ago. But with this very great
improvement, The Review could wish that through-
out the entire University this important sort of
equipment measured up in quality, in maintenance,
and in appearance, to the standard usually prevailing
in institutions not so seriously cramped in income as
the University.
There may be no point, whatsoever, in these obser-
vations. And yet The Review feels instinctively
that the University, on account of its meagre funds,
and obviously against its manifest desire, is forced
to set for its sons standards in these particulars less
true and high than should be set for men upon whom
the task of community building in large part must
be laid, and from whom, if from anybody, the State
has a right to expect fine civic leadership.
nnn
LETTERS jn view of the fact that The Review
rarely receives letters for publication
concerning University affairs, imagine the delight
which it necessarily experienced upon the receipt of
the following note, the date line and author of which
are not given, but which The Review considers one
of the most thoughtful expressions any publication
could receive :
"I suppose it is no longer a novelty to have people
tell you how well they think of The Review, but
every time I see it I feel proud that U. N. C. is get-
ting out such a first-class publication.
"I will try to keep up my little illustration fund,
so let me hear when you Jieed more money for this
purpose.
"If you are sending out any gratuitous subscrip-
tions I would like to have you send The Review to
the Reading Room of the Southern ^fannfacturer's
Club, Charlotte, and if you have no free list let me
have the bill for this subscription."
UNIVERSITY Recent news dispatches bring the
PRESIDENTS pleasing information to the University
that Dr. William J. Battle, of the
class of 1888, and for a number of years Dean of the
University of Texas, has been, upon the resignation
of President Mezes, appointed Acting-President of
that institution.
With this appointment of Dr. Battle, the Univer-
sity finds itself the furnisher of the heads of the
three leading State Universities of the South: Dr.
Alderman, of Virginia, Dr. Battle, of Texas, and
President Graham, of the University.
Dr. Battle graduated from the University in 1888,
studied later at Harvard University, and has fill-
ed the office of Dean of Texas with marked efficiency
for several years. The University finds great pleas-
ure in the new honor which has come to him.
nnn
THE NEWS The News Letter, the latest publication
LETTER issued by the University through the
Bureau of Extension, has appeared for
the fifth time and, seemingly, has settled down to a
work of genuine usefulness in carrying to the public
the findings of the North Carolina Club and many
notes of special interest concerning the work of the
various departments of the University. Its recep-
tion by individuals as well as the press of the State
has met with instantaneous and hearty approval, and
it bids fair to serve the University most admirably
in connecting it with the life and thought of the en-
tire State.
At present four thousand copies are being issued
weekly. It will be sent free to any alumnus upon re-
quest, and the management will be glad to receive the
names of persons who the alumni think will be in-
terested in receiving it.

FROM MURPHY Great success is attending the ef-
TO MANTEO forts of the University to encour-
age public discussion in North
Carolina. Already two hundred and twenty-five
schools have enrolled in the North Carolina Debating
Union, and indications are that the enrollment will
reach 250. Triangles are being mapped out now for
the debates which will be held throughout the State
next March. The list of entries includes the schools
of Manteo and Murphy, and all manner of schools
between these two historic points.
The enrollment of students in the University for
the fall term has reached 982. This is the largest
enrollment in the history of the institution.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
LECTURES FOR 1914-15
Ex-President William Howard Taft, Ambassador Romulu S. Naon, Dr. John Dewey, and
Others are Included in the Schedule
The first task to whidi the University, in common
with other colleges and universities, devotes itself,
is the training of men in the discovery and acquisi-
tion of truth by means of study in the class room and
through investigation in the laboratory. In addition
to this it desires that its students shall have an oj^por-
tunity to feel the tug and undertow of the best in
contemi>orary thought whether relating to State, or
national, or international affairs.
To this end during recent years it has brought to
its lecture ijlatform through the McNair and faculty
lectureshiiJ foundations, and through other special
means, an increasingly large number of men tho-
roughly competent to speak of many significant move-
ments in contemporary thought and life. The list in-
cludes such names as those of President Woodrow
Wilson, Ambassador James Bryce, Dr. David Starr
Jordan, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, President Arthur T.
Hadley, President Charles W. Eliot, Dr. Karl Kath-
gen, Roosevelt Exchange Professor from the Uni-
versity of Berlin, Dr. Soshuke Sato, Exchange Pro-
fessor from Japan, Mr. Albert ISToyes, Mr. Edward
Markham, and President George Vincent; and the
conviction, on the part of those v?ho have heard the
messages brought by these authoritative speakers, is
that through their utterances the University has given
the student hody an unusually splendid opportunity
to catch the drift of present day world currents.
EX-PEESIDENT TAFT TO LECTURE
The policy for the present year provides for a fur-
ther increase in general lectures of the character indi-
cated. Among these will be a series of three to be
delivered by Ex-President William Howard Taft, on
the American Presidency. These lectures for this
year are made possible through individual subscrip-
tions, hut it is hoped that the series may be placed
on a permanent foundation and that annually lec-
tures may be delivered upon the general theme of
American Citizenship. The lectures this year will
he delivered on March 17, 18, and 19.
SOUTH AMERICA
The opening of the Panama Canal and the crisis
in American trade incident to the Great War. have
turned the thought of America to her neighbor to
the South. Today as never before, South America is
a country in which Americans, and especially South-
erners, are greatly interested. Its history, its manners
and customs, its government, its commerce and trade,
all are matters of deepening interest to us. To clar-
ify and direct this interest Ambassador Eomulu S.
Naon, of the Argentine liepublie, and member of
the A. B. C. Mediation Board, will deliver three
lectures upon his country and the establishment of
hel]>ful relations between the two Americas.
MCNAIE LECTURES
The John Calvin McNair lectures delivered in
previous years by Dr. F. H. Smith, of the University
of Virginia, Dr. Francis L. Patton, of the Princeton
Theological Seminary, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of
Princeton, President Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale,
President David Star Jordon, of Leland Standford,
President George Vincent, of the University of Min-
nesota, will be delivered in early February by Dr.
John Dewey. Dr. Dewey is professor of psychology
in Columbia University and the author of a large
number of scholarly books on ethical, psychological,
and philosophical suhjects.
SOTJTHEEN EXCHANGE FOUNDATION
As announced in the October Review, a new lec-
tureship for the purpose of giving wider currency to
the productive thought and scholarship of Southern
Universities has been established, with the result that
prominent members of the faculties of Virginia,
North 'Carolina, South 'Carolina, and Vanderbilt, will
deliver series of exchange lectures during the winter
and early spring. Dr. F. P. Venable is to represent
the University at South Carolina, and Prof. William
Thornton, Dean of the School of Engineering at the
University of Virginia, will deliver the series at
Chapel Hill.
NORTH CAROLINA A NEW TOPIC
Some ten years ago, during the period in which
the Modern Literature Club of the University flour-
ished, the subject of North Carolina literature was
frequently made the topic of discussion from the
platform, and visitors such as Dr. Edwin Mims, Dr.
Benjamin Sledd, and the late John Charles McNeill,
were frequently heard. Under the auspices of the
North Carolina Club, arrangements are now being
concluded whereby a series of from three to six lec-
tures will he held during the year in which economic

and social conditions in North Carolina will be dis-
cussed by North Carolinians prominent in these spe-
cial fields.
The program of this series, together mth details
concerning the dates and subjects of all the lectures
to which reference has been made above, will be given
•out later "by the University. All the lectures will
be oiJen to the public and as in previous years a
large number of visitors from the State will be pre-
sent.
CAROLINA-VIRGINIA GAME
The Final Game of the Season Goes to Virginia 20 to 3
After a season of unbroken victories Carolina met
defeat at the hands of the University of Virginia
Thanksgiving Day in Eichmond in a game fiercely
fought through four quarters but ending in the ach-
ing score of 20 to 3. This annual Southern classic
reached its highwater mark of championship interest,
inter-state rivalry, and spectacular accompaniment.
Nearly 15,000 people saw the game. Seats were tax-
ed beyond their capacity, standing room was packed
to the limit ; men and boys were perched on top of the
grandstand, on roofs of houses, fences, poles, and
every other available sitting, standing, and hanging
place within the viewpoint of the human eye.
The eyes of the South were turned to Richmond
for the issue of this contest between the two univer-
sities that stood pre-eminent in their Southern circle.
The people back home awaited with eager spirit the
news from Broad Street Park as a hundred wires
flashed their various message of disappointment and
joy into the towns and villages of two states. Five
thousand North Carolinians, with much of the per-
sistent faith and more of the spontaneous enthusiasm
of the Vermont Democrats, rolled into Richmond
town to stand by and pull for the White and Blue.
There has never been such an aprising of the alumni
— may their tribe increase! Hanging to straps on
street cars, dashing about in automobiles, lining the
streets, grouped at corners, jammed into hotels, were
luindreds and hundreds of Virginia and Carolina
alumni, and everywhere were thousands and thous-
ands of chrysanthemums speaking in colors of yellow
and white the loyalty of hearts ever generous in vic-
tory and never conquered in defeat.
Among the notable Carolina alumni present were
Secretary of the Na\^, Josephus Daniels, Governor
Locke Craig, and President Graham. Virginia's
president, Dr. Alderman, one of Carolina's truest
sons, was prevented from being present by the con-
dition of his health just recently restored. John
Skelton Williams, member of the Federal Reserve
Board, Virginia alumnus, joined Governor Stuart in
welcoming to Richmond the Tar Heel governor and
his uniformed staff.
Besides the array of old football stars of Carolina
and Virginia, many athletic figures of nation-wide
name gave unusual distinction to the game. Tom Wil-
son, line coach at Wisconsin, Tol Pendleton, backfield
coach at Princeton, Emmons, quarterback coach at
Princeton, Hart of Princeton, who broke his neck in
scrimmage and whose life now hangs by a muscle,
were present in full force for Carolina. By adding
to these Billy Reynolds, Carolina's coach in the later
nineties, and the present staff of Trenchard, Cunning-
ham, and Bleuthenthal, an almost complete Princeton
team was made up, largely All-American. Several
Carolina ex-captains were at the game, Winston, who
was in the scrimmages, and Foy Roberson, Lonnie
Abernathy, and Will Tillett, who were on the side-
lines. Not to be omitted among those also present
was the dashing Tyrus Raymond Cobb, athlete non-
pareil.
It is a great occasion, this Carolina-Virginia game.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
SHOWING METHOD OF NUMBERING PLAYERS
SCRIMMAGE, VIRGINIA S BALL
The student send-off, the record mass meetings, the
crowded, enthusiastic excursions, and the storming
of the city by the gay-liearted legions, young and old,
fair and unfair, are incidental by-play to the big
game certain to afford its electric thrills from whistle
to whistle. The crowd-stirring patriotism, the feeling
for the colors, and the pull of a cause keep this event
supreme in South Atlantic athletic interest above
every question of continuous defeat and matches and
overmatches.
The morning was Carolina's. Her sons captured
the Jefferson Hotel at a pace set by the student band.
Director Eoyster, Chief Cheerer Coggins, and their
powerfully lunged cohorts sounded the remotest re-
cesses of the far carrying hotel. The afternoon was
Virginia's douhtfully during the iirst half, decisively
during the second.
At 2 :28 Captain Tayloe shook hands with Captain
Gooeh and at 2 :30 over 10,000 hearts were suspended
as Winston sent the ball sailing high to Virginia's
ten yard line. Early in the first quarter Gooch
fumbled a punt and Cowell recovered in Virginia
territory. Tandy failed by a narrow margin at a
drop kick from the forty yard line. A little later
Bridgers intercepted a forward pass and came back
forty-five yards, the longest run of the game. Tandv
again failed to send the ball over the goal bar.
Soon after the second quarter began, Mayer plung-
ed his way through Carolina's stubborn defense for
the first score. Barker kicked goal. Carolina's only
score came in this quarter. Winston by a brilliant
run had placed the ball in threatening distance of the
goal. Tandy from the thirty-five yard line sent the
ball between the uprights. The half ended Virginia
7, Carolina 3.
THE INTEEMISSION
Between halves Governor Craig made a rousing
speech to the Carolina bleachers and Secretary Dan-
iels promised to vary the Carolina attack by calling
into action his submarines. All the while the two stu-
dent bodies featured the occasion. Set off against
each other they sent volumes of cheers and songs
across the field, clashing in the air above the con-
tending teams.
THE SECOND HALF
At a critical point in the third quarter Carolina
held Virginia for downs in Virginia territory. Foust
for Carolina standing close to the sidelines punted
down the field but the ball went out of bounds just
beyond the scrimmage line. Mayer soon went over
for the second touchdown. Barker kicked goal. Vir-
ginia 14, Carolina 3.
FOURTH QUARTER
In the fourth quarter Carolina got down into Vir-
ginia territory and the fourth attempt at a drop kick
went wide. Virginia followed this up by marching
straight down the field and sent Mayer over for his
third touchdown. Barker failed to kick goal. Vir-
ginia 20, Carolina 3.
Thus the game ended.
A SUMMARY COMPARISON
Virginia's great strength consisted in the terrific
line-punching of Mayer and the dazzling running
and masterful generalship of Gooch. The Virginia
attack was simple and straightforward hut finished
to perfection. Carolina's generalship was overshad-
owed by the clear thinking Virginia field marshal,
and her interference was disappointingly ineffective.
The shift formation was blocked by Virginia and
Winston and Tayloe hardly had a chance to get away
at their full going value. Coleman broke through
guard and stopped plays at the source. Virginia's
tackles and ends smothered end runs and off-tackle
plays. On defense, Tandy, Parker, and Homewood,
stood out above any players on the field. Parker
strengthened his name as one of the greatest defen-
sive backs in this section. Homewood time and again
crashed to pieces Virginia's formidable interference
and nailed the runner at the scrimmage line. Gooch
and Homewood were the towering figures of the

SECRKTARY DANIELS AND GOVENOR CRAIG SPEAKING BETWEEN HALVES
Virginia played her secondary defense to meet
Carolina's end and oti' tackle plays and Carolina fail-
ed to take advanta;j,e in open play. Carolina played
her secondary defense to meet the open game and
Virginia played a close, straight game. Carolina's
big mistake was the persistent effort to S3ore by drop-
kicks instead of trying to win by tovichdowns.
All in all it was a hard fight, a great game, and the
best team in the South won.

CAPTAIN TAYLOE
David Tayloe o*' the first year medical class has
been elected captiin of the 1915 football team.
Next season will make Tayloe's third year on the
team and his second year as 'Varsity Captain. In
electing him to succeed himself his teammates con-
ferred ujiou him an honor of unusual distinction.
Tayloe is one of the foremost halfbacks in the South
ard he has been the choice in several All-Southern
selections.

The other Carolina men who have figured in All-
Southern and All-South Atlantic make-ups are
Homewood, Winston, Tandy, and Jones. The At-
lanta Constitution placed Tandy at centre and Win-
ston at end. The Richmond Neivs Leader chose
Tandy, centre; Homewood, end; Jones, guard; and
Tayloe, half-back. The All-State team included six
Carolina men, Tandy, Tayloe, Winston, Homewood,
Kamsey and Jones. The list also included Huske in
case he should don a uniform this season. Huske did
come out for the Virginia game and fought a good
THE CLASS SEASON
The class football season was a close contest for the
championship between the sophomores and seniors.
Both of these teams defeated the juniors and fresh-
men by large scores and tied each other in a to
game. The seniors won the deciding game by the
score of 7 to 2, and copped the coveted championship.
This is the first time that a senior team has won the
championship beyond the memory of the present col-
lege generation.
The all class was selected by the two class team
coaches as follows : centre, Craig, guards, Harrell and
Smith, tackles, Little and Wilkins, ends, ]\Ionroe and
Whitaker, quarter and captain, Woollcott, halves,
Coleman and Fitzgerald, and fullback, Nance. Ran-
son was chosen as utility end and back.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
DR. EMERSON ON THE HILL
Dr. Isaac Emerson, to whose generosity the Uni-
versity owes so much, 'has been in Chapel Hill this
week completing plans for tlie building of the ath-
letic field for which he has donated a large sum. He
brought with him the blue prints of field, track, and
grandstand. The new field will include the present
lone and probably some of the adjacent territory to
the south. Drainage, surface soil for sodding, will
all be provided for. It is possible that the grading
for the new field will begin shortly after Thanksgiv-
ing; at any rate it will be in readiness for the base-
ball season. On the north side there will l)e two
large concrete grandstands, separated by the Presi-
dent's stand. Under one grandstand will be dressing
and shower rooms for the teams. The whole field
will be constructed according to the most improved
methods, and will be a great asset to the University.
The College is most deeply indebted to Dr. Emerson
for his generosity, and is proud of him as one of her
most distinguished sons.-

THE ALUMNI REVIEW

NOT ON THE BRINK OF RUIN
Editor, Alumxi Eeview :
Sir: — An outsider reading the article on the so-
cieties published in the November number of the
University Magazine and reprinted, in part, in the
last numher of The Alumni Keview, would be led
to believe that the Dialectic and Philanthropic So-
cieties are on the brink of ruin and play a very uu-
imjwrtant role in student activities at the University.
And the University alumni who have read the article
must think that great transformations have recently
taken place in the University if the societies have
lost so much prestige and power and have degenerate
ed into organizations which exjiend ninety-nine per
cent of their energy in revolving their machinery and
only one per cent in actual work. But such is not
the case.
Last year one of the societies did pass through a
rather critical stage and the trouble was admittedly
caused by negligence on the part of the officers of
the society. The other society has at no time within
the last three years felt any lack of interest. Her
attendance has been conspicuously good. There have
been no wrangles or serious dissentions among her
members. Financially she is in first class condi-
tion. Upon inquiry I find that the crisis in the other
society is passed and that she too has begun to work
in fine style.
The conclusion reached in the article after numer-
ous unsubstantiated statements is that the only thing
left to the societies is to devote themselves exclusively
to debating. But debating is not the sole aim, nor,
in the opinion of many, is it the main aim of the
societies. Many men voluntarily go to society who
rarely participate in the debates; yet those men are
oftentimes the societies' most loyal members. The
association of the fellows in society is worth fully as
much as all that is learned in the art of debating.
The parliamentary rules learned in society are inval-
uable to many. And there are other benefits derived
from the societies by those who attend and take a
proper interest in the work.
It is stated in the article, "During the last three
years the losses of the societies have been appalling."
Wliat are those losses ? In numbers ? We have more
members than ever before. In interest? There is
today more real, genuine interest in the societies'
work than there has been at any time in the last
three years. In success on the platform ? In the
last three years Carolina has participated in seven
inter-collegiate debates and has won five of them.
She won from Pennsylvania, Tulane, Vanderbilt,
Virginia, and Johns Hopkins, and lost one to Vir-
ginia and one to Johns Hopkins. Those losses oc-
curred last year, and we think that they were due
in great part to neither the men nor the system. Ob-
viously those "appalling losses" are highly imaginary.
The societies are on firm bases and are doing excellent
work.
And what is proposed to take the place of our
present societies'^ The conclusion of the article is
that the societies must reorganize "with a limited
membership carefully chosen." Limited to what
number ? By whom, and by what standard, shall the
members be "carefully chosen" ? Limited to one hun-
dred members? But suppose one hundred and one
want to join, which hundred shall be taken and which
one shall be left ? How can the members be carefully
chosen? Who knows how much interest a freshman
has in real society work until he is given a chance?
Shall we take those who are already good debaters?
But if we begin with the finished product, the socie-
ties have no work to do. We begin at the bottom. If
anyone has anything in him he is given a chance to
show it time after time before an audience of a hun-
dred men. In the society the fratemity-man and the
non-fraternity-man, the rich and the poor, the worker
and the drone, the talented and the untalented — ^all
meet on equal footing and each man stands for what
he is worth. Merit and merit alone is recognized and
rewarded. jSTo one is excluded from membership.
Instead of maintaining such a society as this we are
asked to reorganize and each year allow only a limit-
ed number of privileged characters to have the honor
of becoming a member of society. But this will hard-
ly be done ; for fully ninety per cent of the societies'
members believe that, although organizations have
their place in college, still no such "closed shop" af-
fair should or will ever usurp the place of the Dia-
lectic and Philanthropic Societies.
The great objection to the proposed reorganization
is that no such change is needed ; and if such a change
were needed, we would call for something besides an
organization whose membership would be limited to
a few experts. The writer of the article says the
trouble is organic and that it is the surgeon's knife
that is needed and not the "pills of the orator." But
the doctor has wrongly diagnosed the case; what he
thought to be a severe case of chronic appendicitis is
nothing more than a light attack of indigestion. The
societies are not wrong in principle.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
THE UNIVERSITY AT THE TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY
The University, through her faculty aud alumni,
took an important part at the meeting of the State
Teachers' Assembly in Charlotte in November.
Prof. M. C. S. Noble, Dean of the School of Edu-
cation, presided over all of the meetings as president
of the assembly. He delivered his presidential ad-
dress on Thanksgiving evening.
Prof. N. W. Walker jiresided over the sessions of
the State High School Principals, and presented sev-
eral papers before the various bodies of the assembly.
Other members of the faculty who attended the
meetings and presented papers were: Dr. L. A. Wil-
liams, Dr. H. W. Chase, Prof. E. C. Branson, and
Prof. Zebulon Judd.
Alumni other than members of the faculty present-
ing papers were Messrs. T. W. Andrews, of Reids-
ville; A. T. Allen, of Salisbury; Dr. J. Y. Joyner,
and L. 'C. Brogden, of Raleigh; A. Vermont, of
Smithfield ; J. S. Wray, of Gastonia; Harry Howell,
of Asheville ; and R. A. Merritt, of Greensboro.
Miss Mary Owen Graham, a member of the faculty
of the University Summer School and a sister to Pres-
ident E. K. Graham, was elected president of the
assembly for the ensuing year. Mr. R. H. Wright,
'97, president of the East Carolina Teacher Train-
ing School, was elected vice-president; and Mr. E.
E. Sams, '98, of Raleigh, was re-elected secretary of
the assembly.
Mr. A. T. Allen, '97, of Salisbury, was elected
president of the association of city superintendents ;
Mr. J. S. Wray, '97, of Gastonia, vice-president; and
Mr. Harry Harding, '99, of Charlotte, secretary.
Dr. J. Y. Joyner, '81, was re-elected president of
the association of county superintendents.
DR. HAMILTON RECEIVES DOUBLE HONOR
Dr. J. G. de R. Hamilton, Alumni Professor of
History in the University, was the recipient of two
high honors within the week of December 1-5. At the
meeting of the State Literary and Historica. Asso-
ciation held in Raleigh, December 1 and 2, he was
awarded the Patterson Cup in recognition of the dis-
tinctive merit of his "Reconstruction in North Caro-
lina," and at Williamsburg, Va., on the night of De-
cember 5, he was elected a member of Phi Beta Kap-
pa by William and Mary College.
Dr. Hamilton is the fourth member of the faculty
or alumni association of the University to receive the
Patterson cup, those preceeding him being Dr. K. P.
Battle, Mr. R. D. W. Connor, and Dr. Archibald
Henderson. Dr. Edwin Mims, formerly of the fac-
ulty, was awarded the cup, but previous to his con-
nection with the University.
Dr. Hamilon's election to membership in the par-
ent chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was in keeping with
the custom at William and Mary of bestowing this
special honor upon students and authors not con-
nected with the institution in recogtiition of distinct-
ive work in the fields of literature and history.
SHIP SUBSIDIES
The latest bulletin issued by the University is
Extension Series No. 11, entitled Ship Subsidies.
This bulletin is intended primarily for the use of
debaters in schools having membership in the North
Carolina Debating Union, and secondarily for the
use of any person in the State who has need for it.
It contains 72 pages of valuable material on the
ship subsidy question which is to be debated by the
schools next spring. A brief, with outlines on both
sides, is given, together with a complete statement
as to the present condition of the American merchant
marine and the subsidy policies of the various coun-
tries. Articles favori.ng the subsidy policy and writ-
ten by Messrs. W. L. Maiwin, J. H. Gallinger, W.
P. Frye, Theodore Roosevelt, and others, are reprint-
ed in the bulletin. Opposed to this policy appear
articles taken from the writings of Messrs. J. C. Wat-
son, T. E. Burton, Gustav Kustermann, E. Y. Webb,
and others.
THE MEMORY OF GEN. WILLIAM R. DAVIE IS
HONORED
Incidental to the meeting of the North Carolina
State Conference of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, the General Davie Chapter, of Durham,
on Tuesday afternoon, November 2nd, presented to
the University and to the State, a memorial in honor
of General William R. Davie.
The exercises, which were attended by the Chapter
from Durham and fifty or more delegates to the State
Conference, together with faculty, students, and mem-
bers of the community, were begun by an invocation
by Rev. W. D. Moss, of the Presbyterian church.
Mrs. J. F. Wily, of Durham, presented the mem-
orial, which was accepted by President Graham.
Mrs. Wm. N. Reynolds, of Winston-Salem, regent
of the State organization of the D. A. R., spoke in
behalf of the whole State and told of the interest
which North Carolinians took in the event.
The memorial is in the form of a beautiful, simple,
granite seat which has been placed north of the "Da-
vie Poplar." It was unveiled by Masters Edward
Graham, Jr., and Eugene Morehead Wily.

MRS. L. O. MANGUM DEAD
Mrs. Laura Overman Mangum, widow of the late
Rev. A. W. Mangum, Professor of Philosophy in the
University, and mother of Dr. C. S. Mangum, of the
Medical faculty of the University, died at her home
in Chapel Hill at four o'clock on the morning of
November 3rd. Her illness had been of considerable
duration and her death was not unexpected.
The loss to the community in the death of Mrs.
Mangum is profound, as for many years in her home
and churdh she had exerted a fine influence upon the
life of the University and village alike.
Mrs. Mangum was a sister of Senator Lee S. Over-
man and Messrs. Ed and Charles Overman, and
mother of Dr. C. S. Mangum, Mrs. N. H. D. Wilson,
Mr. A. W. Mangum, and Miss Juliette Mangum.

THE UNIVERSITY IN LETTERS
Henderson, Archibald. The Changing Drama.
New York, Henry Holt & Co., 1914.
Not many readers of the Charlotte Observer of ten
or twelve years ago realized that certain articles by
"Erskine Steele" were prophetic of a brilliant career.
One's indifference to new subjects is frequently the
result of ignorance which he has no desire to cure.
Academic criticism is only too apt to take refuge in
well established names — too conservative to take up
with new authors. Many of us were not willing to
be impressed even when this same critic began to
write on modern dramatists for the leading magazines
of the country. When these were collected in book
form and were in turn followed by volumes of biogra-
phy, there were still those — the present reviewer
among the number — who refused to be interested, and
who were impressed rather with the critic's advocacy
of radical thinkers and radical principles of art. They
found it easy to criticize the immature and somewhat
affected style and were disinclined to see that a young
man had found for himself a distinct field of literary
criticism. Such indifference on the part of even his
colleagTies and friends would have reacted on a man
less determined and less resourceful than Archibald
Henderson. He knew what he was about — while
some of us must make atonement in the belated recog-
nition of a talented critic of cosmopolitan propor-
tions.
After many years of diligent study of modern Eu-
ropean dramatists, years of travel which gave oppor-
tunity for the first-hand study of the modern theatre,
Professor Henderson now presents this remarkable
volume — at once an interpretation of the contribu-
tions and tendencies of the modern drama and a pene-
trating and brilliant exposition of modern life and
thought. To those already conversant with the writ-
ings of these dramatists this book serves to organize
disconnected impressions and ideas. To those who
have not yet waked up to the fact that we have had
for the past fifty years a distinctive period in dra-
matic and even literary history, it is extremely sug-
gestive of "fresh woods and pastures new."
Professor Henderson is himself a realization of the
dramatic critic, for whom he modestly hopes to pre-
pare the way — "liberal in spirit, catliolic in taste,
who will set forth deliberately, clearly, and without
prejudice, the history of the contemporary drama
from the period of Ibsen down to the present mo-
ment." Throughout the volume we have an exhibi-
tion of "creative criticism as applied to the new forms
and the display of a more catholic spirit in judging
the original, experimental art work of today." Along
with his comprehensive knowledge, his maturer judg-
ment, and artistic taste, he has overcome the chief de-
fects of his early style and has attained at last a clear-
cut and individual medium of expression. There is
not a dull page from beginning to end ; for it is real-
ly a life-like history of the modern drama.
It is difficult in so short a space to summarize a
book which is itself so succinct a summary of a great
wealth of material. The modern drama, which has
been so largely determined by the new cosmopolitan
spirit, by science, by democracy, and by social and
industrial problems, has several distinct types, all of
which are concisely characterized and illustrated
by Professor Henderson. We have "The Drama of
Immediate Actuality" as compared with the Roman-
tic drama • — people of our own day speak in the
language and the thought of the present to such an
extent that an audience or a reader becomes easily
identified with the characters in the play. In the
"Drama of Ideas or Intellectual Content" dramatists
have awakened thought through emotion and have be-
come the heralds of new ideas — the prophets of tlie
future. In the "Social Drama" modern society with
its conventions and characters plays a most important
part, whether we consider the social comedy of Shaw
or the social tragi-comedy of Ibsen. In Greek tragedy
THE ALUMNI REVIEW

the individual struggles against fate, in the Eliza-
bethan there is the conflict of diverse elements within
the individual man, while in modern tragedy we have
the conflict of the individual with society. Tragedy in
human lives may he due to heredity, to environment,
and to social institutions and customs which have lost
their significance for the human spirit. The influence
of science is best seen in the "Drama of Pure Natural-
ism," which reached its climax in Hauptmann and in
some of Ibsen's plays.
It may be readily seen, then, that the modern
drama is a direct outcome of the modern life —
that its subject matter therefore appeals to all who
would understand the social, political, and religious
tendencies of today. Corresponding to this change in
subject matter is a change in the technique of the
di"ama. In the disciission of this technique Professor
Henderson shows himself a literary critic of marked
ability. The question as to what tragedy is, the sub-
stitution of prose for poetry as a medium of expres-
sion between characters, the use of animated dialogue
as opjxised to the monologue, the abolition of the solil-
oquy and the ''a.side," the leading character's opin-
ions fulfilling the function of the old Greek Chorus,
the substitution of commonplace men and women for
the conventional hero of the old drama, the changes
wrought by modern stage-craft, are all discussed and
illustrated by the author. There was never a better
illustration of the futility of judging any new foiin
of literature by old standards of criticism than is the
author's exposition of the vital connection between
the subject matter and the technique of European
dramatists. In this part of the volume he has done
exactly the same sort of critical work as did those
who found a proper basis for the judgment of the
Shakespearian drama as compared with the ancient
drama. Once more we have a striking illustration of
Mr. Howell's remark that no good old thing should
ever be allowed to stand in the way of the good new
thing.
Tlie final impression of his interesting and com-
pelling volume is, that all thoughtful men must reck-
on with the changing drama — this latest manifesta-
ion of creative genius. One may not agree with the
critic or with any particular dramatist's point of view
— one may even refute and condemn the views of life
suggested by Ibsen, Brieux, and Shaw. Professor
Henderson himself shows more of a disposition in
the volume than in some of his previous writings to
judge rather than to advocate them as wise interpret-
eis of life. Be that as it may, he has (!Stabli.shed be-
yond per-adventure that the modern drama has a
significance, an individual or .social \-aliie, that can
no longer be minimized by anyone who would under-
stand what modern life is in all its bewildering com-
plexity. Edwin Mims.
One of the activities which has given marked dis-
tinction to the administration of the United States
Bureau of Education during the incumbency of Dr.
P. P. Claxton, has been the dissemination, through
carefully prepared monographs, of information con-
cerning many phases of modern educational develop-
ment and practice.
In the preparation of these special bulletins, Caro-
lina, through members of its faculty and alumni, has
had a conspicuous part. Since 1912 "County
Schools for City Boys," by William S. Myers, now
a professor at Princeton, "History of Public School
Education in Arkansas," by Stephen B. Weeks, now
of the U. S. Bureau of Education, "Cultivating
School Grounds in Wake County, N. C," by Z. V.
Judd, now of the University, "Training Courses for
Rural Teachers," by R. H. Wright, President of the
East Carolina Training School, and "The Georgia
Club," by E. C. Branson, now of the University,
have appeared.
To this list has just been added as bulletin No.
20 for 1914 "The Rural School and Hookworm
Disease," by Jno. A. Ferrell, M. D., Assistant Di-
rector General of the International Health Com-
mission, Washington, D. C. The bulletin comprises
43 pages and eight plates. It presents in detail the
work which is being done throughout the States in-
fected toward the eradication of the hookworm and
it shows the exceedingly close relation of good health
to educational progress.
Plate No. 1 of the bulletin, which shows where
county dispensaries have been operated in affected
States, conveys the information that North Carolina
has provided for more county dispensaries than any
other State in the list, leading with a total of 96.
Mississippi follows next with 62, while Virginia and
Kentucky stand at the bottom with 24 and 19 re-
spectively.
Dr. Ferrell oliserves that inasmuch as the rural
public school has been the source of infection from
which the disease has spread, it must be made the
center from which an organized fight against it and
in behalf of rural sanitation in general must be di-
rected.
The publication of this bulletin will give stimulus
to all movements looking to better public health in
rural sections and represents, on the part of Dr.
Ferrell, the extension of the splendid work he did
for North Carolina while he was in charge of the
State's Campaign against the hookworm.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE PRESS
PRESSING THE EXTENSION WORK
One of the most important and f ar-reacliing of the
activities of the State University is its extension
work. This is the part of the University that reaches
the people, and in these days of moonlight schools any
educational facility that touches the rank and file is
of moment and peculiar interest.
It is not surprising that the extension department
of the University has decided to publish a news-
paper to get in closer touch with the folks its wants
to help. Through regular visits from a weekly news-
paper the vital relation of the highest State educa-
tional institution to the North Carolina public will
be kept constantly to the fore and it is certain that
the extension bureau will find this a more satisfac-
tory use of the printed page than the publication of
bulletins at irregular intervals.
The extension work of the University has always
appealed to us as a work of vast possibilities and of
immense value to the University in the way of
strengthening it with the people to whom of covirse
it looks for continued support. It is gratifying to
know that practical, modern methods are to be follow-
ed to the end that the sphere of its usefulness may
be wide.
The News Letter should prove a welcome addition
to the press of the State, and that it will be welcomed
into the homes into which it may fi'iid its way is 'be-
yond doubt. — News and Observer, Nov. 15, 1914.

THE UNIVERSITY'S NEW LIFE
Another new departure of the University of North
Carolina in the direction of general uplift and de-
velopment work is in the publication of a weekly pa-
per caller The University News Letter. Through it
will be given the progressive literature of the day as
related to North Carolina, and it will in particular
further the interest of the recently originated county
club idea. The University seems to be making fine
pi'ogress in its determination in extending its campus
limits to the boundaries of the State in every direc-
tion; in putting the culture of the University center
at the command of all the people of every sort and
kind; in relating, adjusting, and adapting its activ-
ities to democratic needs in North Carolina, in a
State-wide ministry of service. Evidence is constant-
ly multiplying that the University of North Carolina
has entered upon a policy of activities perhaps the
most useful in its history. — Charlotte Observer, Nov.
16, 1914.
OUR UNIVERSITY
To the casual observer it has seemed for several
years that a new spirit is permeating Chapel Hill.
Whatever the cause, the apex of the state's educa-
tional system seems to be in charge of men who are
making an energetic effort to make it the property of
the people in a broader sense than has ever been the
case before. We think that they will succeed. Men
with the breadth of vision, the earnestness and the
energy that these have shown usually do succeed. We
believe that it is only a matter of a few years before
the average North Carolinian unconsciously will
cease referring to "the University" to say instead "our
University." — Greensboro Daily News, Nov. 26,

WHAT THE THIRTEEN CLUB FINDS
The subject for discussion at a recent meeting of
the Thirteen Club, composed of business and pro-
fessional men of Tarboro, was "The University
of North Carolina: A Modern State University."
The paper on this subject was presented by W. S.
Howard, '97, a trustee of the University. The ex-
tension activities, the high scholarship, and other
things entering into the make-up of the Modern Uni-
versity were discussed at some length. The members
of the club, says Supt. H. B. Smith, of the city
schools, were unanimous in their approval of the
work which the University of North Carolina is do-
ing for the State.
THE DEBATING UNION
A stimulator and a tonic in general is what the
North Carolina Debating Union is proving for de-
bating interests in the public schools of the State.
With only four speakers to be chosen in each instance,
thirteen boys are entering the preliminary contest
for places at Bryson City; thirteen at Waynesville ;
twenty at Winston-Salem; and practically the entire
high school at Belmont. The superintendent at Con-
cord says that he has no difficulty whatever in getting
all candidates necessary for any kind of public per-
formance, from his sixth grade up.
PHARMACISTS HOLD MEETING
The William Simpson Pharmaceutical Society is
proving of much interest to Pharmacy students in
the University. Meetings are held each week and
papers are read on subjects of interest to students
in this departmc'nt. The officers of the Society are
President, W. W. Allen; Secretary, F. J. Fisher;
Treasurer, J. L. Henderson.

THE UNIVERSITY MODIFIES ITS ELECTIVE SYSTEM
Last year the faculty adopted important changes
in the Elective System of Junior and Senior years,
which go into effect during the present session. The
plan now in force distributes the electives over these
general groups of study, and the only requirement
of a Junior or a Senior in the courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Arts is that he shall elect at
least one course from each group. With the multi-
plication of departments and courses in the last few
years there has been an increasing loss of concentra-
tion of study. An investigation undertaken by the
Curriculum Committee revealed the fact tliat a ma-
jority of Juniors and Seniors were electing courses
in as many as eight, and sometimes nine, different
departments. In order to encourage special study in
at least one chosen field and at the same time to re-
tain the wholesome distribution now in vogue, the so-
called group system of electives was adopted. Brief-
ly the new plan is as follows:
All departments of study are grouped under three
divisions: 1. Language and Literature; 2. Philoso-
phy, Political and Social Sciences; 3. Mathematics
and Natural Sciences. Before the close of the sopho-
more year a student will henceforth be required to
choose, in accordance with his taste, ability, and
professional purposes, one department under one of
these divisions for concentrated work. In the chosen
department or in one closely allied with it, he will
take a minimum of six hours or a maximum of nine
hours in each of the two remaining years. The
choice of the particular courses within the depart-
ment will be made only after consultation with the
head of the department. In addition to these six or
nine hours, he will elect for Junior year at least one
course in each of the other two general divisions.
One of these two courses is to be followed in Senior
year with a second course in the same department.
Presidents some weeks ago. Dr. Capen has spent
the greater part of November and December in the
State for the purpose just mentioned.
Only those institutions are visited and classified
that ask for accredited relations with the State Board.
It is gratifying to note that practically all the pres-
idents of the higher institutions have expressed their
cordial appreciation of the plan proposed by Dr.
Joyner and their willingness to co-operate with him
in this constructive effort. On his visit to the dif-
ferent institutions Dr. Capen has been accompanied
by Prof. N. W. Walker.
The plan proposed by Dr. Joyner is unique in that
it contemplates a more complete survey of higher
education than has yet been attempted in any State.
The Bureau of Education has made partial surveys
in two or three other States, thoiigh in no instance
has the survey been so comprehensive as the one pro-
jected for North Carolina. The plan is not to limit
the granting of credit simply to the colleges of stan-
dard grade, as is shown by the following sentence
taken from Dr. Joyner's letter:
I may add that it is not my plan simply to confine
the credits for all grades of certificates to standard
colleges, but to grant such credits for good work in
institutions of lower rank for certain classes of certi-
ficates. We, of course, have in North Carolina many
institutions doing high grade work that lay no claim
to being standard colleges, and it is our desire to rec-
ognize such work and to give due credit for it.
STATE COLLEGES ARE TO BE CLASSIFIED
State Superintendent Joyner has undertaken to
classify the higher institutions of learning in North
Carolina for the purpose of establishing a basis on
which the State Board of Examiners may grant cred-
it for State teachers' certificates. Dr. Joyner has
asked the United States Bureaii of Education to as-
sist his office in the examination and clasification of
the higher institutions, and the Commissioner of Ed-
ucation has detailed Dr. Samuel P. Capen, specialist
in higher education for the Bureau, to visit the col-
leges of this State for the purpose of looking into their
work and classifying them as proposed in Superin-
tendent Joj-ner's letter, which went to all the College
SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE Y. M. C. A.
Twenty-five Bible Classes meet every Sunday at
12:30 in the dormitories and fraternity halls of
the University. The total enrollment is over 350
and the average attendance is over 150. Ten stu-
dents conduct a night school for the negro working
boys five nights in the week. These young teachers
go out in pairs and give instruction in the ele-
mentary subjects of arithmetic, grammar, spelling,
history, and geography. The rural sunday schools
which are manned by University students are very
lai'gely attended. A good number of the boys in
these Sunday schools have been organized into a
corn growing clubs. The Boy Scout clubs of Chapel
Hill and Carrlwro have plans for friendly rivalry
in athletic and debating contests. Once a week a
student religious meeting is held. Prof. Chase spoke
Tuesday night on "The Power of Habit."
Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, of the department of Eng-
lish, has in press for early issue a collection of
English letters.

TEACHER-ALUMNI BANQUET AT CHARLOTTE
Brimming full of the spirit of progress which character-
izes the work of the University, and expressive of a con-
stant loyalty to alma mater, was the banquet of the alumni of
the University of North Carolina, here attending the Teachers'
Assembly, which was held in the Masonic Hall from 6 until
8 o'clock yesterday evening. Prof. M. C. S. Noble, dean of
the School of Education of the University, acted as toast-

casion humorously and well. Present for the banquet were

Mr. E. C. Branson, professor of rural economics and socio-
logy in the University.
In saying that the alumni of the University of North
Carolina were "nearer to their alma mater and to one an-
other than the alumni of any other institution of which he had
any knowledge," Mr. Harry Howell voiced the spirit of
brotherhood which existed throughout the gathering.
The alumni were strong in their approval of the adminis-
tration of President E. K. Graham and of the extension
work of the University including its High School Debating
Union which has already enrolled 200 schools for a great
debate next Spring. The University was given a God speed
in its plans for a State-wide ministry of service, extending
to every community, and to every person in North Carolina.
