OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


THE  UNIVERSITY'S 
APPROPRIATION 


Another  session  of  the  Legislature  has  ended  with 
the  result  that  the  University  is  to  have  for  the  bien- 
nium  11)15-16  a  total  of  $145,- 
000  annually,  being  the  same 
total  amount  received  during 
the  years  1913-14,  with  a  difference.  The  specific 
purposes  for  which  this  amount  is  to  be  used  are: 
for  maintenance  $115,000;  for  permanent  improve- 
ments $30,000.  Of  the  total  $60,000  for  permanent 
improvements  for  the  two  year  period,  $40,000  is  to 
be  applied  to  outstanding  notes  for  the  University 
Inn  and  the  grounds  upon  which  the  new  dormitories 
and  Peabody  Hall  stand.  The  remaining  $20,000 
is  to  be  used  in  repairing  the  present  buildings. 

While  the  total  amount  received  is  $40,000  less 
annually  than  that  asked  for — $125,000  for  mainte- 
nance and  $60,000  for  permanent  improvements — 
and  while  the  total  is  also  no  greater  than  it  was  for 
the  past  two  years — $20,000  being  taken  from  the 
$50,000  previously  given  for  permanent  imjjrove- 
ments  and  added  to  the  $95,000  heretofore  given  for 
maintenance — the  net  resTilt  is  that  the  University 
will  have  $20,000  more  annually  to  put  into  its  daily 
work,  and  it  will  be  able  to  pay  off  indebtednesses 
which  are  at  present  drawing  interest  to  the  amount 
of  $2500  annmilly.  This  of  course,  means  the  possi- 
bility of  expansion  internally,  but  it  admits  of  no 
possibility  whatsoever  during  the  next  two  years  of 
any  external,  physical  growth. 

From  many  points  of  view  the  action  of  the  Legis- 
lature is  exceedingly  favorable.  The  most  pleasant 
feature  connected  with  the  appropriation  is  that 
seemingly  it  was  given  gladly.  The  only  i-eason  why 
more  was  not  given  was  because  the  revenues  of  the 
State  would  not  admit  of  it.  Again,  the  additional 
$20,000  for  maintenance  means  the  possibility  of 
greater  work  and  better  work  within  the  University. 
From  other  points  of  view,  the  results  are  to  be  re- 
gretted. President  Graham  had  asked  for  the  mini- 
mum required  for  the  conduct  of  the  University  upon 
the  present  basis  of  growth  and  efficiency,  and  in  so 
far  as  the  request  was  denied  to  tliat  extent  the  Uni- 
versity will  be  limited  in  the  service  which  it  is  ready 
to  give  the  State  and  which  the  State  so  greatly  needs. 
The  most  regretai)le  feature  however,  is  incidental 
to  rather  than  inherent  in  the  appropriations.  As  The 


Review  sees  it  the  failure  of  the  Legislature  to  adopt 
a  thorough-going  revision  of  the  revenue  laws  of  the 
State  means  inability  on  the  part  of  the  State  in  the 
future  to  give  adequate  support  not  only  to  the  Uni- 
versity but  to  many  of  the  institutions  which  are 
striving  to  serve  the  State  in  its  general  upbuilding.

Under  the  exceedingly  appropriate  heading  "Our 
Tribute,''  the  Tur  Heel  has  expressed  for  the  Uni- 
PROFESSOR  WIL-  ^'erstiy  its  genuine  delight  inci- 
LIAM  HOWARD  dent  to  the  three  lectures  upon 
the  presidency  delivered  by  Pro- 
fessor William  Howard  Taft,  of  Yale  University, 
and  its  very  great  pleasure  in  having  him  as  its  guest. 
The  "Tribute"  follows: 

"A  person  who  can  face  a  college  audience  and  de- 
liver three  lectures  on  politics  and  go  away  carrying 
the  good  wishes  and  unanimous  praise  of  that  college 
is  a  man.    Mr.  Taft  did  that  very  thing. 

A  college  audience  is  the  most  critical  audience  in 
the  world.  It  has  the  intolerance  of  youth,  the  pride 
of  intellect  and  ennui  of  the  too  often  amused.  A 
college  community  attends  a  nine  months'  long  chau- 
tauqua.  Every  grammatical  slip,  the  smallest  illogi- 
cal statement,  the  first  dull  or  commonplace  remark, 
the  least  partisanism  brings  its  instant  condemnation. 
Yet  former  President  Taft  ran  this  whole  gauntlet 
and  came  out  unscathed,  unruffled,  and  wearing  his 
ever  present  smile. 

The  Tar  Heel  hereliy  registers  what  a  whole  col- 
lege has  already  informally  bestowed — a  vote  of 
thanks  for  being  allowed  to  listen  to  and  do  homage 
to  the  good  sportsmanship  and  good  comradeship  of 
our  former  President." 

nnn    ' 

The  circle  of  influence  of  the  High  School  Debat- 
ing Union  has,  in  the  three  years  of  the  Union's"  ex- 
istence, rapidly  enlarged,  and  in  the 
contest  for  1914-15,  which  culmi- 
nated on  April  9  in  the  victory  for 
tli(!  Wilson  High  School,  embraced  91  counties,  250 
schools,  1000  debaters,  and  a  total  audience  of  from 
50,000  to  75,000  North  Carolinians. 

Tlie  phenontenal  growth  of  the  union  focuses  at- 
tention upon  its  real  significance  to  North  Carolina.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


This,  as  The  Review  understands  it,  is  many  sided. 
Boys  and  girls  are  being  trained  in  the  weighing  of 
facts,  in  reaching  conclusions  concerning  important 
questions  of  the  day,  and  in  presenting  these  facts 
and  conclusions  in  a  forceful  way.  In  doing  this, 
every  boy  and  girl  participating  in  the  debates  dis- 
covers that  all  the  facts  relating  to  the  question  must 
be  brought  under  consideration  if  the  conclusions 
reached  are  to  be  final.  All  the  facts  can  be  found 
only  through  the  use  of  library  and  informational  re- 
sources. Consequently  the  value  of  a  library  in  the 
study  of  any  and  all  questions  of  interest  to  a  com- 
munity is  demonstrated.  Again,  school  and  commun- 
ity interest  is  aroused  in  every  school  which  has 
membership  in  the  union.  Possibly  the  most  import- 
ant result  of  the  event  is  that  from  50,000  to  75,000 
persons  receive  a  clear-cut,  forceful  picture  of  the 
subject  under  debate. 

No  word  of  commendation  for  the  originator  of  the 
union  or  for  those  whose  labor  has  resulted  in  mak- 
ing it  the  power  it  is  is  necessary  here.  They  have 
their  abundant  reward  in  the  positive  consciousness 
that  they  are  directly  aiding  in  the  training  of  a  fu- 
ture generation  of  strong,  thoughtful  leaders,  and  that 
they  are  contributing  largely  to  the  general  educa- 
tional development  of  the  citizenship  of  today. 


CHARLES  WES 
LEY  BAIN 


The  death  on  Monday,  March  15th,  of  Professor 
Charles  Wesley  Bain,  head  of  the  department  of 
Greek  since  1910,  brought  poignant 
sorrow  to  hundreds  of  friends  and 
former  students  throughout  the 
South  and  a  sense  of  profound  loss  to  the  University 
to  which  during  the  past  four  years  and  a  half  he 
had  rendered  splendid  service.  The  fact  that  he  was 
so  suddenly  removed  while  seemingly  in  the  midst  of 
his  labors,  and  at  a  time  when  even  larger  service  and 
wider  influence  lay  before  him,  deepened  if  possible 
the  sense  of  this  loss. 

Viewed  in  the  light  of  scholarship.  Professor 
Bain's  attainments  in  the  ancient  languages  and  lit- 
eratures were  widely  recognized  of  the  highest  order. 
As  a  teacher  he  possessed  the  power  not  only  of  mak- 
ing clear  the  subjects  which  he  taught  but  the  finer, 
rarer  power  of  inspiring  his  pupils  with  a  love  for 
them.  As  a  man  and  member  of  the  University  he 
was  impatient  of  all  sham,  generous  and  fair  in  all 
his  dealing,  wise  in  all  his  counsel,  sympathetic,  cour- 
teous, loyal,  true.  Scholar,  teacher,  friend,  he  gave 
freely  of  his  rich  life  to  all,  and  in  his  passing  the 
University  loses  one  of  its  most  useful  members  and 
the  State  and  South  a  distinguished  scholar  and  gen- 
tlemen.

THE  TAFT  LECTURES  ON  THE  PRESIDENCY 


Former  President  William  Howard  Taft  Delivers  Three  Lectures  on  the  Presidency 


Professor  William  Howard  Taft,  former  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States  and  now  a  member  of  the 
faculty  of  the  Yale  Law  School,  was  the  guest  of  the 
University  during  the  week  March  17-19,  and  inau- 
gurated what  it  is  hoped  may  be  made  permanent 
a  series  of  lectures  on  phases  of  American  Govern- 
ment and  Citizenship. 

The  special  phase  of  government  treated  by  Pro- 
fessor Taft  was  the  American  Presidency,  the  broad 
theme  of  his  discourses  being  "The  Presidency:  Its 
Powers,  Duties,  Responsiliilities,  and  Limitations." 

In  his  first  lecture,  Professor  Taft  considered 
especially  the  veto  power,  the  relation  of  the  cabinet 
to  the  president  and  to  Congress,  and  the  method  or 
lack  of  method  employed  in  making  appropriations 
for  carrying  on  the  work  of  the  government.     He 


strongly  advocated  the  budget  system  in  transacting 
the  government's  business,  thought  it  advisable  that 
cabinet  members  should  appear  in  Congress,  advised 
that  amendments  to  the  constitution  should  be  made 
only  after  the  most  careful  consideration,  and  called 
on  all  Americans  to  stand  by  President  Wilson  in  the 
hour  of  crisis  with  which  the  government  is  now  con- 
fronted. 

The  appointing  power  of  the  president,  wider  e.x- 
tension  of  the  civil  service,  laws  more  considerate 
of  the  rights  of  aliens,  the  president's  power  to  make 
war,  were  subjects  discussed  in  the  second  lecture. 
Professor  Taft  jokingly  admitted  that  the  popularity 
of  a  president  bore  a  rather  decided  ratio  to  the  num- 
ber of  offices  to  be  filled,  and  urged  that  the  time  and 
energy  of  the  president,  through  an  extension  of  the 


178 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


GLIiirSES  OF  I'ROFESSOR  TAFT  ON  THE  CAlil'US 


scope  of  the  civil  service,  should  be  withdrawn  from 
the  consideration  of  petty  appointments  and  devoted 
to  the  serious  duties  incident  to  the  presidential  of- 
fice. In  concluding  his  second  address  he  spoke  in 
special  praise  of  the  permanent  government  em- 
ployees who  are  rarely  in  the  limelight  but  through 
whose  ability  and  fidelity  to  duty  the  great  work  of 
the  government  is  carried  on. 

Professor  Taft  prefaced  his  third  lecture  with  a 
happy  reference  to  his  stay  in  Chapel  Hill  and  fe- 
licitated the  University  upon  the  fact  that  President 
Graham  was  to  be  officially  inaugurated  as  its  presi- 
dent and  leader  on  April  21st.  In  this  lecture  he  dis- 
cussed particularly  the  pardoning  power  of  the  pres- 
ident, the  establishment  of  a  court  of  international 
arbitration,  and  the  president's  very  extensive  pow- 
ers in  all  matters  involving  the  nation's  foreign  policy 
and  relations. 

During  his  stay  in  the  village  Professor  Taft  par- 
ticipated in  a  number  of  social  and  campus  activities. 
Following  his  first  lecture  he  was  the  guest  of  Presi- 
dent Graham  and  the  faculty  at  a  faculty  smoker  held 
at  President  Graham's  residence.  On  the  18th  he 
was  the  guest  of  the  law  school  before  which  he  de- 
livered a  special  lecture,  and  on  the  19th  he  spoke 
to  the  members  of  the  University  Debating  Union. 


After  the  last  lecture  he  was  the  guest  of  the  Dur- 
ham Bar  Association  at  a  special  banquet  given  in 
his  honor. 

JUDGE  PALMER  TO  SPEAK 

Contrary  to  previous  announcement,  the  bacca- 
laureate address  on  June  2d  will  not  be  made  by  Sec- 
retary of  the  Treasury  McAdoo,  but  by  Judge  A. 
Mitchell  Palmer,  formerly  a  member  of  the  House  of 
Representatives  from  Pennsylvania  and  now  a  judge 
of  the  Court  of  Claims  of  the  District  of  Columbia. 
Mr.  McAdoo  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  Univer- 
sity before  the  date  of  the  meeting  of  the  Interna- 
tional Finance  Conference  had  been  determined,  but 
on  the  fixing  of  that  date  found  that  the  commence- 
ment date  was  in  unavoidable  conflict. 


COMMENCEMENT  ADDRESSES  SCHEDULED 

Announcement  is  made  by  the  Bureau  of  Exten- 
sion that  the  following  professors  will  deliver  com- 
mencement addresses  during  the  spring:

WILSON  WINS  THE  AYCOCK  CUP 


In  a  Splendid  Contest,  in  Which,  from  Start  to  Finish,  1000  Boys  and  Girls  from  250  Schools  in  91 
Counties  Participated,  the  Victory  Goes  to  Misses  Lalla  Rookh  Fleming  and  Ethel 

Gardner,  of  the  Wilson  High  School 


The  third  amiual  final  eoutest  of  the  High  School 
Debating  Union  of  Xorth  Carolina  was  held  in 
Chapel  Hill  on  April  8th  and  9th.  Misses  Lalla 
Rookh  Fleming  and  Ethel  Gardner,  representing  the 
Wilson  high  school,  were  the  successful  contenders 
for  the  Aycock  ilcmorial  Cup.  In  the  final  debate  in 
Memorial  Hall  they  won  the  decision  over  Stewart 
Cowles  and  Cowles  Bristol  representing  the  States- 
ville  high  school.  The  query  was  "Resolved,  That 
the  United  States  should  adopt  the  policy  of  subsi- 
dizing its  merchant  marine  engaged  in  foreign 
trade."  The  Statcsville  debaters  had  the  affirmative 
side,  and  the  Wilson  debaters  the  negative. 

In  many  respects  this  contest  was  the  most  notable 
of  the  three  final  contests  which  have  been  held  since 
the  Debating  Union  was  organized.  For  the  first 
time  the  cuj)  was  won  by  two  girls.  The  number  of 
schools  taking  part  in  the  finals  was  larger  than  had 
been  the  case  any  previous  year.  The  debaters  from 
one  high  school.  Almond,  of  Swain  county,  traveled 
331  miles  to  reach  Chapel  Hill,  and  the  debaters  from 
another  school,  Manteo,  of  Dare  county,  traveled  280 
miles.  In  co-operative  efi^ort  on  the  part  of  students, 
professors,  and  others  in  Chapel  Hill  regarding 
entertainment  for  all  visitors,  the  contest  was  marked. 
The  debaters  and  other  visitors  had  a  thoroughly  en- 
joyable and  profitable  time,  and  they  went  away  with 
the  heartiest  good  wishes  for  the  University. 

THE    PRELIMINARIES 

One  hundred  and  ninety-six  debaters  representing 
49  schools  took  part  in  the  final  contest.  These  de- 
baters were  all  successful  in  their  triangular  debates 
on  March  26th. 

The  teams  on  the  afiirmative  were  divided  into 
six  sections  for  the  first  preliminary  Thursday  night, 
April  8,  and  likewise  the  teams  on  the  negative  were 
divided  into  six  sections.  From  each  of  these  sec- 
tions two  teams  were  chosen  for  a  second  preliminary 
Friday  morning,  April  9tb.  The  schools  which  had 
teams  making  the  second  preliminary  on  the  affirma- 
tive were :  Statcsville,  Jamestown,  Manteo,  Pinnacle, 
Burlington,  Winston-Salem,  Ivaleigh,  Carthage, 
Waynesville,  Elise,  Lincolnton,  and  Louisburg.  The 
schools  having  teams  in  the  second  preliminary  on 
the  negative  were:  Wilson,  Piedmont,  Cool  Spring, 
Hendersonville,  Raleigh,  Lincolnton,  Lowe's  Grove, 


Manteo,  Burlington,  Black  Mountain,  Carthage,  and 
Lumberton.  The  schools  having  teams  in  the  second 
preliminaries  both  affirmative  and  negative  were : 
Manteo,  Burlington,  Raleigh,  Carthage,  and  Lincoln- 
ton. 

THE   FINAL  DEBATE 

Memorial  Hall,  which  in  recent  times  has  been  re- 
quisitioned for  use  in  the  final  debate,  was  filled  to 
its  capacity  on  Friday  night,  April  9th.  A  crowd 
estimated  at  2,000  and  composed  of  debaters,  teach- 
ers, principals,  superintendents,  and  other  visitors, 
students  and  members  of  the  faculty  of  the  Univer- 
sity, and  citizens  of  Chapel  Hill,  was  present. 

President  Edward  K.  Graham  presided  over  the 
debate,  and  E.  R.  Rankin  was  secretary.  C.  E.  Mc- 
intosh, a  member  of  the  Class  of  1911,  now  chief 
clerk  in  the  State  Department  of  Education,  Raleigh, 
presented  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup  to  the  winning 
team  in  behalf  of  all  the  University's  inter-collegiate 
debater's.  The  young  debaters  were  given  prolonged 
cheering  as  they  walked  to  the  stage  and  took  their 
seats.  A  Xorth  Carolina  flag  and  a  United  States 
flag  formed  an  appropriate  background  for  the  stage. 
The  Aycock  Cup  stood  directly  in  the  center  be- 
tween the  affirmative  and  negative  speakers. 

President  Graham  expressed  a  high  sense  of  satis- 
faction that  the  University  had  as  her  guests  repre- 
sentatives of  the  high  schools,  "\^^len  the  University 
sees  you,"  he  declared,  "she  sees  herself  and  sees  an 
occasion  that  represents  Xorth  Carolina.  She  sees 
Xorth  Carolina's  hopes  and  aspirations  on  this  oc- 
casion more  than  on  any  other.'' 

THE    SPEAKERS 

The  first  speaker  on  the  affirmative  representing 
the  Statcsville  high  school  was  Stewart  Cowles,  15 
years  of  age.  He  asserted  that  the  three  factors  in 
the  nation's  life  are  farming,  manufacturing,  and 
commerce.  The  Government  has  protected  its  farm- 
ing and  manufacturing,  but  lias  neglected  its  com- 
merce. On  account  of  the  lack  of  ships,  all  of  our 
industries  have  been  hampered.  Our  nation  should 
no  longer  depend  on  foreign  nations  to  transport  its 
products.  A  subsidy  of  $10,000,000  would  be  most 
effective  in  Iniildiug  up  our  marine. 

The  first  speaker  on  the  negative  representing  the 
Wilson  high  school  was  !Miss  Lalla  Rookli  Fleming,

16  years  of  age.  She  outlined  the  argument  of  the 
negative  thus :  First,  the  policy  of  subsidy  is  wrong 
in  principle;  second  it  cannot  effectively  build  up  a 
merchant  marine;  third,  there  are  other  methods 
which  will  bring  the  desired  results;  fourth,  these 
methods  are  desirable  and  right  in  principle.  The 
policy  is  wrong  in  the  first  instance  because  it  is  a 
form  of  class  privilege,  involving  a  gift  of  money 
taken  from  all  the  people  and  paid  to  an  individual 
or  corporation.  Subsidies  destroy  initiative  and  pri- 
vate enterprise,  and  can  never  build  up  a  marine. 

Cowles  Bristol,  17  jears  of  age,  was  the  second 
speaker  on  the  affirmative.  He  pointed  out  that  93 
per  cent  of  our  trade  is  now  carried  in  foreign  vessels 
and  reiterated  that  three  great  forces  are  at  work  in 
the  nation's  life.  The  man  of  commerce  has  been  neg- 
lected in  our  scheme.  A  great  merchant  marine  is 
needed  and  is  essential  for  the  completion  of  our  eco- 
nomic system.  Ship  subsidies  would  promote  our 
foreign  commerce  and  make  possible  the  assertion  of 
our  economic  independence.  We  could  adopt  the 
subsidy  policy  at  a  comparatively  small  cost,  $10,- 
000,000  a  year. 

Miss  Ethel  Gardner,  17  years  of  age,  was  the  sec- 
ond speaker  on  the  negative.  She  advocated  other 
methods  than  the  subsidy  policy  for  building  up  the 
marine.  A  free  ship  policy,  the  free  labor  policy  in 
employing  seamen,  and  a  revision  of  antiquated  navi- 


gation laws  were  recommended.  Unnatural  restric- 
tions have  kept  our  marine  from  having  its  normal 
growth.  With  the  removal  of  these  restrictions,  the 
marine  will  grow  of  its  own  accord. 

The  rejoinders  were  spirited  on  both  sides  and 
showed  the  ability  of  the  young  debaters  to  think 
quickly  and  express  themselves  forcefully. 

The  decision  of  the  judges,  Messrs.  H.  H.  Wil- 
liams, L.  P.  McGehee,  W.  S.  Bernard,  F.  P.  Gra- 
ham, and  E.  A.  Greenlaw  stood  unanimous  for  the 
negative. 

In  presenting  the  Aycock  Cup,  C.  E.  Mcintosh 
paid  tribute  to  the  High  School  Debating  Union  as 
an  evidence  of  the  increased  and  enlarged  activity  of 
the  University.  In  the  name  of  their  elder  brothers, 
the  inter-collegiate  debaters  of  the  University,  he  pre- 
sented the  Aycock  Cup  to  the  Wilson  team.  He 
pointed  out  that  each  debater  present  was  a  winner 
even  though  his  name  should  not  be  inscribed  on  the 
Aycock  Cup. 

Immediately  after  the  debate  a  reception  by  the  ■ 
Literary  Societies  was  tendered  all  visitors  in  the  Li- 
brary.     This  proved  an  enjoyable  part  of  the  pro- 
gram, affording  as  it  did  an  opportunity  for  a  general 
mingling  together  in  good  fellowship.

the  final  contest,  praise  should  be  given  for  the  spirit 
of  co-operation  found  everywhere.  The  members  of 
the  faculty  acted  as  judges  in  the  preliminaries  and 
the  final  debate,  and  entertained  in  their  homes  the 
29  young  ladies  who  came  representing  their  schools 
as  debaters.  The  students  acted  as  ofiicers  for  the  de- 
bate preliminaries  and  entertained  the  boys  and  men. 
They  co-operated  heartily  in  giving  the  visitors  a 
good  time.  The  baseball  management  provided  com- 
plimentary tickets  for  the  Carolina-Bingham  game. 
Automobile  owmers  furnished  rides  for  the  visitors. 
The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  gave  its  building  and  the  time  and 
energies  of  its  officers  to  the  Debating  Union.  The 
great  success  of  the  contest  is  due  largely  to  the  co- 
operation found  every^vhere. 

THE  HIGH  school  debating  union 

Since  its  organization  in  1913,  the  High  School 
Debating  Union  has  met  with  a  remarkable  success. 
It  has  infused  new  life  into  the  school  system  of  the 
State.  It  has  been  decidedly  beneficial  to  the  de- 
hater,  his  school,  his  community,  and  the  University. 

In  1913,  3G0  debaters  representing  90  sr^hools  in 
45  counties  took  part  in  the  contest.  In  1914,  GOO 
debaters  participated  representing  150  schools  in  61

PROFESSOR  CHARLES  WESLEY  BAIN,  A.M.,  LL.  D. 


Pi'ofessor  Charles  Wesley  Baiu,  head  of  the  de- 
partment of  Greek,  died  at  his  home  on  Franklin 
Street  on  March  the  fifteenth.  A  few  weeks  before, 
he  had  successfully  withstood  a  very  severe  attack 
of  dilation  of  the  heart,  and  at  the  time  of  the 
second  attack  had  so  far  improved  in  health  that  he 
liad  expected  to  be  able  before  long  to  resiime  his 
college  duties.  His  sudden  death  was  therefore  all 
the  greater  shock  to  the  whole  community. 

Professor  Bain  was  born  in  Portsmouth,  Va.,  in 
186-i.  After  preparing  at  Gait's  school  in  Norfolk 
and  at  McCabe's  school  in  Petersburg,  he  pursued  his 
collegiate  training  at  the  University  of  Virginia.  In 
1896  he  received  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts  from 
the  University  of  the  South.  He  began  his  career  as 
teachei'  in  a  private  school  in  Savannah,  Ga.  He 
then  taught  in  the  Rugby  high  school  of  Louisville, 
Ky.,  and  later  was  classical  master  at  McCabe's 
school.  From  1895  to  1898  he  was  head  master  of 
the  grammar  school  at  Sewanee,  Tenn.  In  1898  he 
was  called  to  the  chair  of  Latin  and  Greek  at  the 
University  of  South  Carolina,  where  he  remained 
until  in  1910  he  accepted  the  headship  of  the  depart- 
ment of  Greek  at  the  University.  In  19i;»  the  LTni- 
versity  of  South  Carolina  conferred  upon  liim  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws,  and  in  the  same  year  he 
was  made  an  honorary  memlier  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
by  the  chapter  at  the  University  of  Virginia. 

Professor  Bain  was  a  member  of  the  Classical  As- 
sociation of  the  Middle  West  and  South  and  of  the 
American  Philological  Association.  Recently,  when 
a  plan  was  on  foot  to  form  a  Southern  Classical  So- 
ciety, he  was  chosen  by  his  colleagTies  in  the  South  as 
chairman  of  the  committee  on  organization.  For 
several  years  he  was  an  active  member  of  the  socio- 
logical conference  established  by  the  Jeanes  Fimd 
for  the  study  of  the  negro  problem  in  the  South. 

Professor  Bain  was  the  author  of  the  First  Latin 
Book  of  the  Gildersleeve-Lodge  Series,  a  book  which 
immediately  after  its  pul)lication  took  rank  with  the 
very  best  on  the  market.  In  1895  he  published  with 
Ginn  &  Co.  an  excellent  edition  of  Book  VT  of  the 
Odessey  and  three  years  later  brought  out  Book  VII. 
In  1902  he  published  with  Macmillan  «&  Co.  an  ad- 
mirable and  widely  used  edition  of  selected  poems  of 
Ovid.  He  contributed  the  article  on  classical  litera- 
ture to  the  Encylclopaedia  Americana.  The  last 
thing  from  his  pen  was  a  complete  and  thorough  re- 
vision of  his  First  Latin  Book,  which  he  saw  through 
the  press  just  a  few  weeks  before  his  death.  He  was, 
further,   a   contributor  to  the  American   Jnurnal  of 


PhUoJoyy,  the  Nation,  the  Scwaiiee  Review,  and  the 
Studies  in  Fhilology  piiblished  by  the  University. 
His  writings  are  all  stamped  with  the  marks  of  the 
most  thorough-going  scholarship  and  his  expression 
is  characterized  by  a  fine  lucidity  and  accuracy  of 
statement.  His  leaning  was  toward  Greek  sj-ntax, 
and  in  this  field  of  investigation  he  was  especially 
distinguished.  The  following  is  quoted  from  his 
former  master  and  colleague,  Mr.  Gordon  McCabo : 

"When  my  old  master,  the  ilhistrious  Hellenist, 
Dr.  Basil  L.  Gildersleeve,  ably  assisted  by  Prof. 
Gonzalez  Lodge,  was  bringing  out  in  1894  the  re- 
vised and  enlarged  edition  of  his  Latin  grammar  (the 
best  textbook  known  to  me  in  either  English  or  Ger- 
man for  advanced  students  of  the  Latin  language), 
the  early  proof  sheets  were  submitted  to  me  and  to 
Prof.  Bain  for  suggestions  and  advice.  These  proof 
sheets  were  minutely  gone  over  liy  both  of  us  and  re- 
turned with  that  frank  criticism  that  genuine  scholars 
always  welcome.  Prof.  Bain's  labors  were  especially 
valuable  in  this  revision,  and  page  after  page  of  the 
work  as  it  stands  today  (notably  in  the  'Syntax') 
bears  witness  to  the  lu'cadtli  nnd  accuracy  of  his 
scholarship." 

Professor  Bain's  activities  as  a  member  of  the 
University  faculty  were  extremely  varied  and  valu- 
able. He  was  sometime  member  of  the  general  ex- 
ecutive committee,  and  during  the  current  session  he 
had  been  elected  to  the  advisory  committee  of  the 
Dean  which  administers  the  discipline  of  the  Uni- 
versity. He  had  served  on  the  athletic  committee, 
the  catalogue  committee,  the  committee  on  public 
lectures,  and  on  many  others  of  importance  in  the 
conduct  of  the  University's  atfairs.  In  all  matters 
which  laid  demands  upon  him  for  time  and  thought 
he  was  a  generous,  conscientious  worker,  full  of  con- 
structive suggestions  and  of  enthusiastic  plans  for  the 
progress  of  his  department  and  of  the  University. 
He  was  at  all  times  accessible  to  colleagues  and  to 
students,  and  identified  himself  with  the  many  social 
and  intellectual  organizations  which  play  so  import- 
ant a  part  in  the  life  of  the  campus. 


WOODARD  AND  WEIL  TRUSTEES 

Two  new  trustees  of  the  University  were  elected 
during  the  closing  days  of  the  last  General  Assembly. 
They  were :  Graham  Woodard,  of  Wilson,  a  member 
of  the  class  of  1900,  to  succeed  F.  A.  Woodard,  re- 
signed, and  Leslie  Weil,  of  Goldsboro,  a  member  of 
the  class  of  1S95,  to  succeed  E.  R.  Wooten,  deceased.

PLANS  FOR  REUNIONS  ARE  ON  FOOT 

Extensive  preparations  are  being  made  in  Chapel 
Hill  and  by  the  various  classes  scattered  over  the 
State  and  nation  for  the  class  reunions  which  will  be 
held  during  the  approaching  commencement.  The 
University  always  extends  a  hearty  welcome  to  the 
classes  holding  reunions  and  desires  this  year  to  have 
an  especially  large  number  present  representing  each 
class. 

The  classes  which  will  hold  reunions  this  com- 
mencement are  1914, 1910,  1905, 1900,  1895,  1890, 
1SG5.  The  reunion  committee  of  the  University  has 
sent  letters  to  all  members  of  these  classes  urging  a 
full  attendance.  Every  member  of  each  class  is 
urged  to  be  present.  Nineteen  nine  and  nineteen 
thirteen  set  the  pace  last  year  when  they  had  45  men 
and  50  men,  respectively,  present  for  their  reunions. 
The  word  is  flung  out  to  the  classes  this  year  to  sur- 
pass this  record. 

Tuesday,  June  1,  is  Alumni  Day.  It  will  be  given 
over  entirely  to  the  alumni.  In  the  morning  there 
will  be  the  general  alumni  meeting  featured  by  the 
address  of  Mr.  E.  D.  W.  Connor,  of  Ealeigh,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class  of  1899,  and  the  reunion  exercises  of 
the  diii'erent  classes.  Each  class  will  have  twentj' 
minutes  at  its  disposal,  and  will  be  represented  by 
one  or  more  speakers 

In  the  afternoon  a  baseball  game  Ijetween  two  of 
the  classes  will  be  played.  During  intermissions  of 
the  game  the  alunnii  "stunts"  will  be  given.  It  is 
hoped  that  each  class  will  work  up  a  separate  "stunt," 
or  something  of  the  kind,  for  presentation  at  this 
time.  During  the  evening  the  various  classes  will 
hold  banquets,  dinners,  or  smokers  at  difFerent 
points  on  the  campus.  These  gatherings  will  prob- 
ably prove  the  most  enjoyable  features  of  all  for  the 
men  present. 

All  who  expect  to  be  present  for  the  reunions  are 
asked  to  notify  E.  R.  Rankin,  of  the  reunion  com- 
mittee, Chapel  Hill,  to  that  effect.  The  Carr  build- 
ing and  possibly  other  doi-mitories  will  he  turned 
over  to  the  classes  during  their  stay  on  the  Hill. 

In  the  effort  to  make  the  reunions  largely  attended 
and  successful  in  every  respect,  the  reunion  com- 
mittee at  Chapel  Hill  has  asked  representatives  of  the 
various  classes  to  act  with  it,  as  follows:  1914,  Oscar 
Leach,  Chapel  Hill;  1910,  W.  H.  Ramsaur,  China 
Grove,  and  D.  B.  Teagiie,  Sanford;  1905,  Frank 
McLean,  115  East  Tlst  St.,  Xew  York  City,  and 
,1.  K.  Wilson,  Elizal)eth  City;  1900,  W.  S.  Bernard, 
Chapel  Hill;  1895,  Harry  Howell,  Asheville;  1890, 
Dr.  J.  I.  Foust,  Greensboro;  1865,  H.  A.  London, 


Pittsboro.  These  men  will  act  as  special  commit- 
tees to  work  up  large  attendances  of  their  respective 
classes,  and  to  map  out  programs  covering  the  stay  of 
their  classes  on  the  Hill.  They  will  be  glad  to  hear 
from  all  of  their  classmates  interested  in  the  re- 
unions.

COMMUNITY  RALLY 

A  joint  conunnnity  meeting  of  the  students  in  the 
Orange  County  Club,  the  ladies  of  the  town  Com- 
munity Club,  and  the  citizens  of  Chapel  Hill  and 
Carrboro  was  held  the  night  of  March  24th  in  Gar- 
rard Hall.  It  was  a  community  rally  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  Orange  county  survey.  This  survey 
will  be  one  of  the  most  complete  and  significant  sur- 
veys made  any^vhere  in  the  country  this  year. 

Mayor  W.  S.  Eoberson  presided  over  the  meeting. 
Mr.  H.  B.  Marrow,  president  of  the  Orange  County 
Club,  in  a  brief  address  stated  the  object  of  the  meet- 
ing. Clear  and  forceful  talks  were  made  by  Dr.  E. 
A.  Abernathy,  Mrs.  Joseph  Hyde  Pratt,  president 
of  the  Community  Club,  Mr.  Marion  Fowler,  chair- 
man of  the  industrial  committee  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A., 
Rev.  K.  H.  Riggs  and  Mr.  Pearson,  of  Carrboro. 
Prof.  E.  C.  Branson,  the  guiding  spirit  of  the  move- 
ment, was  called  upon  and  in  a  short  summary  ad- 
dress, indicated  the  possibilities  for  progress  wrapped 
up  in  the  survey  in  all  the  fields  of  country  life  and 
community  welfare.  The  people  in  Hillsboro  and

AN   ALUMNI   CATALOGUE   NEEDED 

Editor  Ai.uma'i  Review: 

SiK : — There  are  a  number  of  needs  of  the  Univer- 
sity which  are  more  obvious  and  apparently  more 
pressing  than  that  of  a  general  catalogue,  as  for  ex- 
ample, the  problems  of  housing,  teaching  and  caring 


for  the  rapidly  growing  student  body,  the  work  of 
the  extension  l)ureau,  and  other  things  with  which  we 
are  familiar,  but  the  need  of  a  general  catalogue  is 
one  which  is  constant  and  increasing.  The  fact  that 
the  University  has  been  able  to  get  along  without  it 
up  to  the  present  is  simply  another  commentary  on 
her  marvelous  resourcefulness  and  ability  to  get  good 
results  out  of  inadequate  equipment. 

The  future  growth  and  welfare  of  the  University 
depend  largely  upon  the  alumni,  and  it  is  of  the 
highest  importance  that  they  be  kept  mindful  of 
their  alma  mater's  interest  in  them  and  her  depend- 
ence upon  them.  The  possession  of  a  general  cata- 
logue would  be  a  vast  assistance  in  keeping  in  touch 
with  them  and  in  carrying  out  any  purpose  which  de- 
jjended  upon  their  co-operation  and  contributions. 
The  success  of  The  Alumni  Review  in  reviving  in- 
terest in  the  old  boys  shows  clearly  what  can  be  done 
in  this  direction. 

Apart  from  the  usefulness  of  such  a  catalogue  to 
the  University  itself,  would  be  its  value  as  a  contri- 
bution to  the  historical  and  reference  books  of  the 
State.  North  Carolina  has  suffered  greatly  in  pres- 
tige and  renown  as  compared  with  other  states  be- 
cause its  events  and  achievements  have  been  chron- 
icled with  less  care  and  completeness.  A  general 
catalogue  of  the  graduates  and  students  of  the  Uni- 
versity from  its  beginning  to  the  present  time  would 
certainly  be  a  step  towards  preserving  and  rendering 
accessible  information  which  would  otherwise  con- 
tinue to  mould  in  musty  files  and  archives.  Of  course, 
the  longer  this  work  is  delayed,  the  greater  will  be 
the  difliculties  attending  its  accomplishment ;  records 
become  misplaced  and  forgotten,  vahuible  papers  are 
frequently  tlirowm  away  as  worthless,  and  there  is 
always  a  danger  of  fire  destroying  what  cannot  be 
duplicated  or  replaced,  especially  when  records  are 
not  preserved  in  fireproof  vaults. 

As  there  are  no  funds  available  for  this  purpose 
from  the  legislature,  it  appears  that  the  alumni  will 
have  to  provide  the  money  and  the  University  do  the 
work.  As  a  beginning,  I  suggest  that  subscriptions 
for  the  catalogue  be  solicited  from  the  alumni.  This 
could  be  done  without  any  expense  for  postage  and 
printing  by  inserting  in  The  Alumni  Review,  the 
Tar  Heel  and  the  Magazine,  a  blank  coupon  to  be 
signed  and  returned,  the  signer  subscribing  to  the 
work  at  a  stated  price.  Along  with  the  subscription 
coupon  could  be  printed  another  one  pledging  the 
signer  to  contribute  to  the  expense  of  the  work  also. 
If  proper  attention  were  called  to  these  subscription 
blanks  editorially  in  the  publications  printing  them, 
there  would  doubtless  be  a  generous  response.     It

could  then  be  ascertained  what  additional  funds 
would  be  required  to  do  the  work  and  arrangements 
made  accordingly.  I  should  like  very  much  to  sub- 
scribe for  at  least  one  copy  of  the  catalogue  and  con- 
tribute something  towards  the  expense  of  getting  it 
out. 

Hoping    that  a  definite   beginning    may   be    made 
soon,  I  am, 

Sincerely  yours, 

Lawrence  S.  Holt,  Je.,  '00.

CAROLINA  6— OAK  RIDGE  3 

Carolina  defeated  Oak  Ridge  in  the  opening  game 
at  Chapel  Hill  March  26th  by  the  score  of  6  to  3. 
Williams  was  on  the  mound  for  Carolina  and,  though 
the  day  was  damp  and  chilly,  he  showed  strong  evi- 
dence of  his  old  form.  Bailey  made  a  pretty  catch 
in  centre.  Bruce,  Bailey,  and  Lewis  led  with  the 
stick.     Both  teams  fielded  well. 


CAROLINA  1— WAKE  FOREST  0 

In  the  first  college  game  of  the  season  Carolina 
defeated  Wake  Forest  March  29th  by  the  score  of  1 
to  0.  The  game  was  close  and  exciting  at  every 
turn.  Carolina  outhit  by  a  good  margin  but  it  was 
Trusts'  stumble  after  a  long  fly  from  Hornig's  bat 
that  enabled  Lewis  to  cross  the  plate  from  second 
with  the  solitary  run  of  the  game.  Shields  and  Ellis 
both  pitched  gilt-edge  ball.  Shields  was  unbattable 
in  the  pinches.  Woodall  caught  a  beautiful  game 
and  Zollicoffer  made  a  circus  catch  in  far  right. 

Summary :  Three-base  hits — Ellis ;  two-base  hits 
— Trust;  sacrifice  hits — Ellis;  base  on  balls,  off 
Shields  3,  off  Ellis  1 ;  struck  out  by  Shields  8,  by 
Ellis  5 ;  left  on  bases,  Carolina  3,  Wake  Forest  4 ; 
umpire,  Caddell ;  time  of  game,  Ih.,  50  m. 


CAROLINA   AND    AMHERST   DIVIDE   HONORS 

Carolina  and  Amherst  broke  even.  In  the  first 
game  Carolina  outhit  Amherst  but  Amherst  outplay- 
ed Carolina.  Errors,  a  wild  pitch,  and  poor  base- 
running  told  the  story  of  Carolina's  defeat.  Patter- 
son led  at  the  bat  and  Pope  loosened  a  paling  on  the 
left  field  fence.

The  second  game  was  an  air-tight  pitching  en- 
gagement. Shields  and  Goodridge  to  the  fore.  Bruce 
and  Swasey  featured  in  the  field  work.  Goodridge 
hit  a  desperate  three  base  hit  but  died  on  third.

CAROLINA— WINSTON 

The  annual  Easter  Monday  games  in  Winston 
resulted  in  a  dogfall  between  the  Varsity  and  the 
Twins.  Currie  held  Clancy's  men  to  six  hits  but 
lost  by  a  close  score.  Carolina  batted  hard  and 
generally  in  the  second  and  Williams  pitched  stingily.

Carolina  defeated  Davidson  in  Charlotte  the  Tues- 
day after  Easter  by  the  score  of  7  to  3.  Shields  was 
steady  with  men  on  and  had  better  all  round  support 
than  Groome.

and  Woodall.

CAROLINA    TAKES    THE    SECOND    FROM    VIRGINIA, 
HAVING  LOST  THE  FIRST 

Before  a  record  crowd  in  Greensboro  Saturday 
April  10th  Virginia  defeated  Carolina  by  the  score 
of  5  to  2.  Shields,  who  had  shown  reliability  and 
headiness  in  the  previous  victories  over  Amherst, 
Wake  Forest,  and  Daivdson,  was  away  off  form.  His

balls  with  stuff  on  them  would  not  break  over  the 
plate  and  those  which  went  over  without  the  jump 
and  the  break  were  smashed  to  the  outer  regions. 
Williams  commissioned  for  relief  in  the  third  inn- 
ing, held  the  heavy  hitters  well  in  hand.  In  the 
ninth  inning  with  the  air  electric  with  the  undying 
Carolina  song  "I'm  a  Tar  Heel  Born,"  Carolina 
started  such  heavy  stick  work  that  Coach  Ryan  had 
another  pitcher  warming  up.  Zollicoffer,  safe  on 
first,  overslid  third  base  when  Bailey's  two-bagger 
was  shot  back  to  third  from  centre.  Edgerton,  sent 
in  by  Coach  Doak  as  a  pinch  hitter,  promptly 
doubled,  scoring  Bailey.  Hornig  singled  scoring  Ed- 
gerton.    Pope  hit  to  third  and  was  out  at  first.

Umpires   Adkins    and    Sisson.      Attendance,    5.000. 

The  size  of  the  crowd,  the  splendid  dance,  and  the 
gala  reception  on  all  sides  were  due  in  considerable 
part  to  the  Junior  Athletic  Committee  of  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce,  John  W.  Umstead,  Jr.,  '09,  chair- 
man. 

Carolina  came  back  Monday  in  thrilling  sticking 
fashion  to  the  quantity  of  8  to  5.  With  the  score 
in  the  third  inning  3  to  1  against  her,  Carolina  came 
in  from  the  field  to  the  accompaniment  of  unceasing 
singing  and  cheering  and  straightway  pounded  and 
pushed  five  men  around  the  bases.  Woodall,  Bruce, 
and  Hornig  hit  savagely  through  the  game.  Bailey 
and  Lewis  fielded  beautifully.  Marshall  Williams, 
save  for  occasional  wildness,  was  complete  master  of 
the  game  at  every  turn. 

Flannagin  was  replaced  by  Gammon  who  stopped 
the  heavy  hitting  but  not  the  scoring.

JUNIOR  WEEK  FESTIVITIES 

Ajjril  8,  9,  and  10  are  marked  as  gala  days  in  this 
gala  year,  packed  with  its  Taft,  Mott,  and  What-nots. 
Into  these  three  days  were  crammed  the  delightful 
Junior  Week  Festivities  and  the  significant  high 
school  debate.  Five  hundred  visitors  were  here  to 
add  to  the  gaiety  of  nations  and  judges.  The  high 
school  debater  a:nd  the  Junior  Week  girl  made  us 
turn  aside  for  a  moment  from  French  I  and  Eng- 
lish IV — gave  us  pause  to  forbear  those  ills  we  have 
and  fly  to  joys  we  knew  not  of — to  know  no  more, 
aye,  there's  the  rub  for  in  this  dearth  of  spring  no 
girls  will  come ! 

Class  theatricals  and  Junior  Prom,  tense  mind  and 
free  heart,  eloquence  and  laughter  all  had  their  hour 
upon  the  stage  and  then  were  heard  some  more. 
Juniors  declaimed  and  promenaded ;  the  Freshmen 
ran  through  "The  Perils  of  Paul ;"  the  Sophomores 
gave  a  "Chapel  Hill  Cabaret"  scene  in  which  Wil- 
lard  made  a  240  pound  Chocolate  drop;  the  Juniors 
went  down  with  the  "Titanic  in  Haw  River"  and  the 
Seniors  climaxed  it  all  by  a  musical  comedy  that 
stands  unique  among  class  stunts.  And  all  the  while 
ship  subsidies  resounded  to  judges  and  skirts  swished 
and  swirled  to  music. 

SENIOR  STUNT 

The  Senior  Stimt  made  the  biggest  hit  of  Junior 
Week.  It  was  an  operetta  of  the  first  water  ingen- 
iously conceived,  handsomely  staged,  and  attractive- 
ly presented.  There  was  not  a  dragging  moment;  it 
went  with  a  bound  all  the  way  through.  The  make- 
ups, the  takeoffs,  and  the  lines  were  true  to  form. 
The  title  of  the  stunt  was  "The  Pill."  The  heart, 
soul,  and  brain  of  the  play  was  W.  Doub  Kerr  who 
directed,  coached,  and  lived  it — and  incidentally 
played  the  part  of  the  gypsy  mother  to  a  finish. 

Mr.  Graham  Harden  played  the  title  roll  admir- 
ably. His  voice  was  sympathetic  and  his  interpreta- 
tion was  good.  Miss  Margaret  Berry,  a  Senior  Law 
Student,  played  the  part  of  the  Co-ed  and  gypsy 
princess  and  elicited  frequent  rounds  of  ajiplause. 
Other  personae  were: 

The   College  Bull Fitzgerald

DR.   BATTLE  PROVIDES  FOR  A  FUTURE  PRIZE 

Former  President  K.  P.  Battle  has  recently  hand- 
ed the  president  of  the  Xorth  Carolina  Historical 
Society  the  following  self-explanatory  letter : 

To  THE  Hon.  President  of  the  Xoktii  Cakolina 
Historical  Society  : 

Sir:  I  ask  the  acceptance  by  yonr  Society  of  a 
hermetically  sealed  tin  box  containing  a  copy  of  the 
catalogTie  of  one  of  America's  largest  department 
stores  in  which  are  descriptions  and  pictures  of  prac- 
tically all  articles  used  now  in  the  industries  and 
avocations  of  the  United  States.  This  gift  is  on  the 
following  conditions : 

The  box  is  to  be  opened  in  1965,  A.  D.,  and  again 
in  2015,  A.  D.,  and  a  student  designated  by  the 
President  of  the  Society  shall  write  a  thesis  on  the 
changes  of  the  preceding  semi-centennial  jieriod.  I 
request  my  descendants  of  those  dates  to  pay  $50 
(fifty  dollars)  to  the  writer  of  the  thesis.  I  have  no 
doul)t  that  such  payment  will  be  duly  made,  as  I  have 
now  seven  children  and  grandchildren,  married  and 
doing  well,  who  agree  to  this  proposal.  As  I  have 
also  four  great-grandchildren,  it  is  almost  certain  that 
my  descendants  will  lie  numerous  fifty  and  one  hun- 
dred years  hence. 

That  the  changes  will  be  great  and  important  in 
the  articles  in  use  in  1965  and  2015  may  be  gathered 
from  the  fact  that  the  railroad  system,  telegraphs, 
telephones,  the  machines  worked  by  electricity,  air 
craft,  submarines,  and  hundreds  of  other. inventions, 
have  been  made  practical  since  T  was  born,  and  most 
of  them  within  fifty  years. 

Hoping    that    you    may    be    able    in    health    and 
strength  to  assist  in  opening  the  box  in  1965,  I  am 
Very  truly, 

Kemp  P.  Battle.

THE  UNIVERSITY  IN  LETTERS 

Cape  Fear  Cheonicles.     By  James  Sprimt,  Ral- 
eigh: Edwards  &  Broughton,  lOl-i. 

Under  the  above  title  Mr.  James  Sprunt,  of  Wil- 
mington, a  trustee  of  the  University  and  founder  of 
the  Sprunt  Historical  Publications  of  the  University, 
has  recently  brought  out  a  most  attractively  printed 
and  interesting  volume  concerning  the  Cape  Fear 
River  and  the  Cape  Fear  section  in  general.  The 
follovping  contributed  review  gives  in  detail  the  char- 
acter of  .the  volume : 

Mr.  Sprunt's  business  sagacity  and  energy  have 
created  an  extensive  commerce  at  Wilmington,  and 
he  is  widely  known  as  the  greatest  cotton  merchant 
in  the  world.  In  his  early  manhood  he  served  the 
Confederate  cavise  as  a  purser  on  a  blackade  runner 
and  had  a  career  on  the  sea  full  of  perils  and  adven- 
ture. Treasuring  these  memories  he  has  delighted 
in  tales  of  blockade-running,  and  he  has  heretofore 
made  several  interesting  publications  covering  war- 
time experiences  on  the  Cape  Fear  River. 

The  present  volume  is  a  contribution  to  North 
Carolina  literature,  more  extensive  in  its  design  and 
of  a  higher  order  than  any  of  his  previous  work.  It 
is  not  only  entertaining  and  full  of  interest,  as  a  lit- 


erary performance,  but  it  is  an  important  addition  to 
the  historical  literature  of  the  State. 

Some  account  is  given  of  every  event  of  conse- 
quence occurring  on  the  Cape  Fear,  and  Mr.  Sprunt 
has  increased  the  intrinsic  value  of  his  work  by  in- 
cluding many  documents  written  contemporaneously 
with  the  events  or  by  persons  conversant  with  the  de- 
tails. The  book  abounds  in  entertainment,  and  here 
and  there  one  finds  delightful  humor.  Mr.  Sprunt's 
composition,  especially  considering  his  business  ca- 
reer, is  remarkable  for  its  ease  and  grace;  his  style 
is  excellent,  while  the  diction  is  singularly  pure  and 
free  from  blemish. 

The  opening  chapters  of  the  volume  treat  of  the 
explorers  on  river  travels,  and  the  distresses  that 
brought  to  an  unhappy  end  the  first  colony  at  Charles- 
ton, on  Old  Town  Creek.  Then  follows  the  perma- 
nent settlement  at  Brunswick  by  the  Moores,  and, 
later,  the  birth  of  Wilmington  and  the  rapid  inflow 
of  population. 

From  the  narrative  one  observes  that  among  the 
first  planters  were  many  men  of  wealth  and  culture, 
so  that  there  was  a  notable  difference  between  the 
early  days  of  the  settlement  on  the  Cape  Fear,  with 
easy  and  frequent  communication  with  England,  and 
the  conditions  that  entailed  hardships  on  the  settlers 
in  the  remote  frontier. 

Orton  and  other  residences  of  similar  elegance 
were  at  once  erected,  while  extensive  libraries  bear 
witness  to  a  social  life  remarkable  in  a  new  clearing, 
glimpses  of  which  are  found  in  apt  quotations  from 
the  writings  of  Colonel  Waddell  and  Mr.  McRee. 

Beginning  with  the  return  of  Mr.  George  Davis 
from  the  abortive  Peace  Conference  in  February, 
1861,  Mr.  Sprimt  portrays  most  admirably  the  pa- 
triotic action  of  the  Cape  Fear  people  throughout  the 
Civil  War.  In  this  he  speaks  with  personal  knowl- 
edge, and  thorough  sympathy ;  and,  so,  likewise  in  his 
account  of  the  blockade-running.  That  episode  in 
the  history  of  Wilmington  has  no  parallel  elsewhere, 
and  no  one  has  presented  it  so  comprehensively  and 
masterfully  as  Mr.  Sprunt  has  done. 

Many  of  the  minor  incidents  in  the  life  of  the  com- 
munity, having  local  interest,  also  are  presented; 
such  as  the  appearance  of  the  Prometheus,  the  first 
steamboat  on  the  river;  the  visits  of  Presidents' 
Washington,  Monroe,  Polk,  Filmore  and  Taft:  of 
Clay,  Webster,  and  Edward  Everett,  and  the  honor 
paid  the  remains  of  Calhoim  and  of  General  McKay. 

Knowing  the  benefits  the  railroads  have  brought, 
]\rr.  Sprunt  gives  ample  space  to  their  first  introduc- 
tion and  to  their  remarkable  development;  but  he 
realizes  that  the  chief  factor  in  the  commerce  of

Wilmington  is  the  Cape  Fear  River,  and  his  work  is 
full  and  elaborate  in  describing  the  development  of 
navigation  on  the  river. 

Mr.  Sprunt's  conception  of  a  local  history  has 
proved  to  be  an  admirable  one,  and  he  has  been  emi- 
nently successful  in  the  execution  of  his  design.  He 
has  written  an  entertaining  and  instructive  volume, 
which  is  not  only  a  credit  to  the  State  because  of  its 
literary  merit  and  handsome  dress,  but  a  work  of 
such  intrinsic  historical  value  that  it  will  certainly 
be  treasured  by  svicceeding  generations.

Mixed  Preterites  in  German.     By  0.   P.  Rein. 
Johns  Hopkins  Press,  1915. 

The  alumni  and  other  friends  of  the  University 
will  note  with  interest  the  recent  publication  of  an 
important  book  by  a  member  of  the  University  fac- 
ulty. This  is  Mixed  Preterites  in  German,  by  As- 
sistant Professor  O.  P.  Rein,  of  the  German  depart- 
ment. 

Dr.  Rein's  book  is  published  as  No.  5  of  the  series 
Hesperia,  appearing  simultaneously  in  Germany 
(Goettingen,  Vandenhoeck  &  Ruprecht),  and  Balti- 
more (The  Johns  Hopkins  Press),  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Professor  Hermann  Collitz,  Professor  of  Ger- 
manic Philology,  Johns  Hopkins  University. 

The  purpose  of  this  monograph,  which  was  pre- 
sented to  the  faculty  of  Johns  Hopkins  University 
as  a  thesis  for  the  doctor's  degree,  is  to  trace  to  its 
origin  the  occurrence  of  strong  preterites  ending  in 
-e  in  1.  and  3.  singular,  indicative ;  and  to  deter- 
mine, to  some  extent,  the  geographical  distribution 
of  such  forms  throughout  the  various  periods  from 
the  earliest  recorded  usage  (11th  century)  to  the 
present  time. 

The  importance  of  a  thorough-going  investigation 
of  this  phenomenon  is  obvious  from  the  fact  (as 
noted  in  the  Introduction)  that  no  historian  of  the 
German  language  has  given  it  adequate  considera- 
tion. 

In  the  Introduction  the  general  statement  is  made 
that  the  presence  of  this  superfluous  -e  depends  to 
some  extent  upon  whether  the  document  under  con- 
sideration exists  in  manuscript  or  in  printed  form. 
Again,  in  early  texts  it  is  difficult  to  determine 
whether  the  form  in  question  is  indicative  or  sub- 
junctive, because  the  characteristic  marks  of  these 
modes  were  often  confused. 

Having  stated  the  problem  and  the  limits  of  his 
investigation,  Dr.  Rein  proceeds  to  tabulate  at  con- 
siderable length  (92  pages)  the  results  of  his  exami- 
nation.    From  the  literary  monuments  of  al)Out  900 


years  are  exhibited  the  instances  of  the  forms  under 
consideration. 

This  collection  of  material  furnishes  the  basis  of 
all  deductions  concerning  the  prevalence  and  com- 
parative frequency  of  the  -e  preterites.  It  involves 
the  careful  reading  of  a  large  mass  of  literature,  the 
accurate  determination  and  classification  of  the  oc- 
curring forms.  It  is  to  be  noted  incidentally  that  the 
-e  forms  are  shown  to  be  most  frequent  in  the  per- 
iod 1600-1700. 

Following  this  presentation  of  material  are  given 
at  length  the  opinions  of  the  older  German  gram- 
marians concerning  the  correctness  of  the  -e  forms. 
The  chief  opposition  to  these  forms  is  found  in  South 
Germany. 

In  another  section  are  given  the  views  of  scholars 
who  offer  an  explanation  of  the  mixed  preterites.  Dr. 
Rein  holds  that  all  of  these  views  contain  elements 
of  truth,  but  that  none  are  adequate.  In  his  final  sec- 
tion giving  his  own  conclusions,  he  states  that  his 
treatment  of  mixed  preterites  does  not  attempt  to  ad- 
vance a  special  theory  for  explaining  the  origin  and 
development  of  these  forms.  But  in  objecting  to  ex- 
planations otherwise  offered,  he  presents  considera- 
tions based  on  the  historical  development  of  the  Ger- 
man preterite,  which  lead  to  the  belief  that  the  mixed 
preterites  are  due  to  natural  tendency  in  language 
unity  and  sjonmetry  of  inflection.  Under  this  tend- 
ency the  1.  and  '?>.  persons,  singular  of  the  strong 
preterite  indicative  received  terminations,  so  as  to 
make  them  conform  to  the  general  sclieme  of  tense 
inflection. 

Even  from  this  brief  notice  it  will  be  seen  that  this 
special  study  is  a  thorough  piece  of  work.  Its  broad 
scope,  careful  deductions,  and  scholarly  method  will 
commend  the  work  to  the  consideration  of  scholars. 


NEW  WORK  FOR  THE  UNIVERSITY 

Among  the  speakers  who  have  visited  the  Univer- 
sity recently,  no  one  has  spoken  more  pertinently 
about  North  Carolina  and  its  future  than  Bion  H. 
Butler.  In  a  recent  number  of  the  Neivs  and  Ob- 
server he  wrote  as  follows  concerning  the  Univer- 
sity's participation  in  forward  movements  in  the 
State : 

One  thing  that  is  noticeable  about  the  educational 
advancement  of  North  Carolina  is  the  departure  into 
new  lines  all  over  the  State.  It  is  possible  that  this 
thing  of  making  education  more  applicable  to  the 
needs  of  the  people  has  something  to  do  with  the 
increasing  interest  in  the  schools. 

Along  this  line  is  tlie  extension  work  the  Univer- 


190 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


sity  at  Chapel  Hill  is  undertaking.  The  county  club 
work  seems  to  be  exciting  an  interest  all  over  the 
State,  and  because  the  woi-k  outlines  things  of  local 
interest  and  jjertains  to  real  problems  the  people  seem 
to  be  taking  a  hand  in  the  tasks  and  are  reading  and 
thinking. 

I  have  half  an  idea  that  North  Carolina  is  heading 
toward  a  development  in  education  about  on  a  par 
with  the  development  it  is  pushing  forward  in  all 
other  directions. 

THE  COUNTY  CH'B  STUDIES 

The  county  study  that  is  outlined  by  the  University 
for  county  work  is  an  innovation  in  educational 
practice  as  miich  of  the  extension  work  is.  The  cen- 
tral force  of  the  county  study  clubs  is  the  North 
Carolina  Club  at  the  ITniversity.  The  intent  of  the 
club  is  to  arovise  an  interest  in  every  county  that  will 
result  in  the  study  of  county  and  State  affairs,  the 
comparison  of  each  coiinty  with  all  the  others  and  of 
the  State  with  other  States  to  see  wherein  the  counties 
and  the  State  might  make  greater  progress. 

Probably  the  work  that  is  represented  by  the  Dur- 
ham county  schools  and  by  the  county  study  in  the 
University  clubs  is  the  most  important  thing  in 
North  Carolina  at  the  present  time.  Like  enough 
the  University  is  doing  on  a  wider  scale  what  the 
county  schools  are  doing  in  their  more  restricted 
sphere. 

Unfortunately  the  University  is  not  so  situated 
that  the  resident  of  each  district  can  extend  its  work, 
for  the  districts  can  have  a  voice  in  how  much  can  be 
done  by  the  district  by  saying  how  much  they  will 
contribute. 

A  THAXK  YOU   MA^AM   ,TOB 

The  University  county  club  work  is  a  sort  of  thank 
you  ma'am  job  on  the  side,  and  a  small  fund  for  post- 
age and  similar  kindred  incidentals  aboiit  covers  the 
amount  that  may  be  expended  on  it.  But  that  will 
be  remedied  in  time,  and  meanwhile  the  stimulus 
given  the  counties  will  have  started  them  on  their 
own  route  toward  broadening  the  educational  facil- 
ities of  the  schools  of  their  districts. 

THE  UJs'IVERSITY  NEWS  LETTER 

The  University  is  printing  a  weekly  paper,  the 
News  Letter,  which  it  is  sending  out  to  the  papers  all 
over  the  State,  and  the  geniuses  who  get  it  up  seem 
to  have  a  sort  of  second  sight  in  their  faculty  of  find- 
ing pertinent  material  concerning  the  progress  and 
development  of  the  State  and  the  counties.  They  go 
into  everything,  from  the  amount  of  meat  each  county 
buys  from  Chicago  to  the  attendance  at  the  moon- 
light schools. 


A   DE_A10CEATIC    UNIVERSITY 

A  feature  about  the  University  work  is  that  it  is 
of  the  same  democratic  character  as  the  farm  bulle- 
tins that  are  issued  by  State  and  Federal  agricultural 
departments,  bringing  every  subject  into  the  field  of 
the  student  who  is  disposed  to  read  or  listen  to  lec- 
tures. 

For  instance  the  professors  of  the  University,  who 
go  to  the  counties  to  lecture  without  any  further  cost 
than  the  payment  of  their  traveling  expenses,  take  up 
such  things  as  the  relation  of  geology  to  the  soils, 
water  supply,  crops,  etc.,  giving  to  geology  a  prac- 
tical application  that  the  ordinary  man  can  compre- 
hend and  feel  interested  in. 

The  botanist  deals  in  things  that  include  bacteri- 
ology for  the  housewife,  the  professor  of  history  re- 
fers to  the  local  community  as  a  field  for  the  historian 
and  possibly  nothing  comes  nearer  the  mark  than 
Prof.  Walker's  lectures  on  how  to  meet  the  newer  de- 
mands on  the  school. 

THE  STATE  IS  AROUSED 

All  these  things  go  to  show  that  the  school  system 
of  North  Carolina  is  undergoing  some  marked 
changes  as  well  as  making  progress  from  the  Uni- 
versity clear  down  to  the  primary  school  at  the  cross 
roads,  and  all  show  equally  plain  that  the  State  is 
aroused,  in  all  sections,  and  on  every  social  plane. 


THE  LEONARD  C.  VAN  NOPPFN  LECTURESHIP 

Leonard  C.  Van  Noppen,  A.  M.,  class  of  1892, 
Queen  Wilhelmina  Lecturer  on  Dutch  Literature  at 
Columbia  University,  has  begun  a  series  of  lectures 
at  Eutgers  College,  in  the  historic  old  Dutch  town  of 
New  Brunswick,  New  Jersey.  The  first  lecture  on 
"The  Dutch  Renaissance,"  February  18th,  was  at- 
tended by  a  large  and  appreciative  audience.  Oth- 
ers are  to  follow  at  short  intervals  during  the  re- 
mainder of  the  session. 

It  is  notable  that  the  benefits  of  this  lectureship, 
founded  only  about  a  year  ago  at  Columbia,  have  been 
extended  already  to  many  colleges  and  universities, 
including,  besides  Rutgers,  Amherst,  Clark,  David- 
son, Oberlin,  Michigan,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  and 
Johns  Hopkins. 


DR.  SMITH  PRESENTS  WAR  PAPER 

Dr.  C.  Alphonso  Smith  has  presented  the  Univer- 
sity Library  with  a  complete  file  of  the  Frankfurter 
Zeitung  published  in  Germany.  The  file  begins  with 
the  outbreak  of  the  war  and  continues  to  date,  con- 
taining a  complete  story  of  the  war,  from  the  Ger- 
man point  of  view.
