WHAT  ARE  YOU  WORTH? 

How  much  money  has  been  and  must  yet  be  invested  in  your  education  to  equip  you  to  become  an 
efficient  producer?  What  is  the  present  value  of  your  life  to  your  estate?  How  can  you  discount  the 
loss   to   your   family,   your   creditors,    and   society — should  you  not  live  to  produce,  repay,  and  provide? 

AS   LONG  AS  MEN   LABOR 

And  as  long  as  men  are  mortal.  Life  Insurance  will  always  be  the  one  instrument  for  nullifying 
the  constant  menace  of  the  loss  of  the  fruits  of  labor  through  Death.  Hence,  nothing  can  disorganize 
or  supplant  it. 

No  substitute  for  Life  Insurance  exists — just  as.  there  is  none  for  fire  insurance.  There  is  no  equal 
way  by  which  a  young  man  can  protect  his  creditors  and  those  who  are  or  may  become  financially  de- 
pendent upon  him.     It  has  no  competitor. 

AMERICA'S  FIRST 

The  NEW  ENGLAND  is  the  oldest  Massachusetts  company  and  the  first  old  line,  legal  reserve 
mutual  company  chartered  in  this  country  for  the  purpose  of  insuring  lives.  It  offers  superior  service. 
Every  provision  and  stipulation  and  precaution  that  can  be  devised  to  safeguard  this  Insurance  and  give 
it  the  richest  potency  is  embodied  in  its  policy  contracts. 

Today  while  you  are  in  sound  health  the  opportunity  is  open  to  you.  Let  us  help  you  to  avail  your- 
self of   its   lasting   and   comforting   benefits.     Toda  y  while  you  may,  see  us  or  write  us.

OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


A  SUCCESS 
COMMENCE- 
MENT  1916 


many   years. 


The  commencement  of  1916  in  the  general  judg- 
ment appears  to  have  been  unusually  happy  and  suc- 
cessful. Judged  by  the  superficial 
standard  of  the  number  of  people  who 
came  to  the  final  exercises  it  was  the 
most  successful  commencement  in 
Memorial  Hall  could  not  hold  the 
crowd  that  sought  admission  on  Wednesday  morning. 
The  number  of  alumni  who  came  back  for  Alumni 
Day  on  Tuesday  was  also  surprisingly  large.  In 
spite  of  strenuous  efforts  to  find  out  in  advance  how 
many  alumni  would  attend  the  luncheon,  the  man- 
agement was  overwhelmed  at  the  last  moment,  and 
was  unable  to  meet  the  extraordinary  demand.  The 
third  section  of  the  commencement — the  dancing  sec- 
tion— was  also  more  largely  attended  than  usual. 
Swain  Hall,  an  immense  floor,  and  used  for  the  first 
time  for  dances,  was  crowded.  More  important  than 
the  size  of  the  crowd  at  these  functions  was  the  happy 
and  optimistic  spirit  that  seemed  to  saturate  the 
whole  affair.  Everybody  seemed  to  be  having  a  good 
time,  and  seemed  to  be  glad  to  show  it. 

DDD 

After  a  hundred  and  twenty  commencements  have 
set  the  seal  of  tradition  deep  into  the  order  of  exer- 
cises, they  assume  an  air  of  immuta- 
bility. Change  is  not  easy,  and  much 
change  is  perhaps  not  desired.  There 
should  always  be  a  few  people,  a  few 
institutions  and  a  few  functions  that  are  fixed  and 
known  quantities,  and  not  subject  to  experimentation 
and  change.  A  wise  man  would  not  experiment  with 
a  commencement  programme  any  more  than  he  would 
with  the  Ten  Commandments.  At  least  not  in  the 
essentials,  nor  with  malice  aforethought.  Fnusual 
things  happen,  however,  in  spite  of  all  traditions  and 
conventions,  and  even  in  commencements  there  is  a 
chance  for  change,  and  for  new  records  being  made. 
One  record  likely  to  be  famous  in  Carolina  annals 
for  a  hundred  years  to  come  was  the  1916  commence- 
ment address.  Tlie  content  of  the  address  was  un- 
usually fine;  but  what  distinguished  it  supremely 
among  a  century  of  competitors  was  its  brevity.  So 
far  as  our  researches  go,  we  find  that  the  long  distance 
record  for  this  event  was  established  some  thirtv-odd

FEATURES 


years  ago,  and  stands  at  three  hours  and  twelve  min- 
utes. We  have  been  told  by  a  thoroughly  reliable 
alumnus  that  he  heard  this  speech  for  the  first  fifty 
minutes,  went  home  and  ate  a  hearty  meal,  took  his 
customary  nap,  then  returned  to  Memorial  Hall  and 
heard  twenty-five  minutes  of  eloquent  peroration. 
This  speech  was  pronounced  "a  wonderfully  great 
commencement  address,  though  perhaps  a  trifle  long, 
in  view  of  the  other  elaborate  exercises."  Whether 
this  is  truly  the  long  distance  record  may  be  in  dis- 
pute; but  the  loving  cup  for  brevity  was  presented 
to  Secretary  McAdoo  in  1916,  for  a  compact,  intelli- 
gent, pertinent  gem  of  a  commencement  address  that 
covered  the  course  in  eighteen  minutes. 

[Tip  to  tradition  and  to  all  aspiring  orators:  A 
good  way  to  make  a  speech:  make  it  short!] 

DDD 

Another  pleasing  feature  of  the  1916  commence- 
ment was  furnished  by  General  Julian  S.  Carr,  of 

the  class  of  1866.  This  was  the 
THE  JULIAN  fiftieth  anniversary  of  General  Carr's 
FELLOWSHIP    graduation,    and    he    celebrated    the 

event  in  a  manner  characteristic  of 
his  loyalty,  his  generosity,  and  his  wisdom.  He  en- 
dowed, with  a  gift  of  four  thousand  dollars,  the  Julian 
S.  Carr  Fellowship.  This  fellowship  is  to  be  awarded 
each  year  to  a  member  of  the  rising  junior  class  or 
senior  class  who  has  shown  by  the  high  quality  of  his 
college  work  that  he  is  worthy  of  help,  and  who,  dur- 
ing these  first  two  years,  has  earned  his  own  way 
wholly  or  in  large  part.  It  is  estimated  that  this 
fellowship  will  yield  annually  enough  to  pay  all  of 
a  student's  actual  expenses. 

nan 

The  gift  is  wisely  given,  and  the  conditions  make 
ir  certain  that  it  will  be  worthily  bestowed.  Literally 
hundreds  of  boys  all  over  the  State 
are  now  asking  for  help  of  any  sort 
that  will  enable  them  to  enter  the  University:  they 
wan<  scholarships,  loans,  jobs — anything  that  will 
give  them  a  start.  Before  the  new  term  opens  there 
will  be  three  hundred  boys  that  will  ask  for  a  job 
waiting  on  a  table  at  Swain  Hall.  Only  forty  can 
be  accommodated.     Then-  will  be  two  hundred  ask-

ing  for  tuition  scholarships.  Practically  no  scholar- 
ships remain  open.  One  hundred  and  fifty  men  who 
have  made  good  in  the  first  year  or  in  the  second 
year  in  college  will  drop  out  because  of  lack  of  funds. 
Fellowships  for  the  use  of  juniors  and  seniors,  and 
scholarships  for  freshmen  and  sophomores  are  greatly 
needed,  and  can  be  so  placed  as  to  assure  tremend- 
ously productive  results. 

DDD 

Two  of  the  reunion  classes  made  gifts  to  the  Uni- 
versity a  feature  of  their  home  coming.     Nineteen 
eleven  presented  the  President  with 

?9™?911GIFTS  a  c'lieck  for  ei%ht  hundred  and  sixty 
dollars,  and  pledges  for  the  next  re- 
union; 1906  presented  a  check  for  one  thousand  dol- 
lars. Both  of  these  gifts  were  turned  over  to  the 
rapidly  rising  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  The  class  of 
1905,  the  originator  of  the  plan,  sent  additional 
checks  to  the  Treasurer,  bringing  its  subscription  to 
a  total  of  nearly  thirteen  hundred  dollars. 

DDD 

The  class  of  1910.  the  youngest  of  the  alumni  fam- 
ily, celebrated  its  arrival  with  two  proposals,  novel 


NINETEEN 
SIXTEEN 


among   our   alumni    classes.      It   pre- 


sented the  University  with  an  endow- 
ment policy  for  twenty-five  hundred 
dollars,  that  matures  in  ten  years.  At  its  tenth  year 
reunion,  it  will  turn  over  this  sum  to  the  college.  In 
addition,  each  member  of  the  class  agreed  to  make 
the  University  a  beneficiary  in  his  will  of  some  sum 
between  one  hundred  and  one  million  dollars.  There 
are  something  less  than  one  hundred  men  in  the 
class.  The  idea  is  not  that  many  men  in  the  class  can 
afford  to  will  the  whole  million ;  but  that  any  man  in 
the  class  can  affoi'd  to  will  a  hundred.  The  class  ex- 
pressed the  belief  that  the  man  of  small  means  would 
gladly  leave  a  small  amount  if  he  thought  he  could 
do  any  good  with  it.  The  Alumni  Fund  offers  the 
way. 

A  man  of  faith  in  the  class  believes  that  the  class 
can  create  a  tradition  to  the  effect  that  every  Caro- 
lina man  will  leave  the  University  at  least  one  hun- 
dred dollars  (through  the  Alumni  Fund)  ;  a  man  of 
arithmetic  in  the  class  discovered  that  if  a  thousand 
men  would  leave  a  hundred  dollars,  it  would  mean  as 
much  in  money  and  more  in  spirit  than  one  man 
leaving  a  hundred  thousand. 


President  Edward  K.  Graham  has  gone  to  Cam- 
bridge, Mass.,  to  represent  the  University  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  new  buildings  for  the  Massachusetts  Insti- 


tute of  Technology. 


When  all  is  said  and  done,  and  with  all  due  re- 
spect to  whomever  and  whatever  respect  is  due,  it- 
must  be  finally  admitted  that  the  real 

ABo'uT^mf  feature  of  tne  1916  commencement 
was  the  reunion  of  1911.  The  class 
of  1911  admitted  it  before  they  came,  and  they  made 
good  on  it.  They  took  no  chances  on  having  a  fine 
time:  they  brought  it  with  'em.  For  a  large  part  of 
two  days,  they  owned  all  of  the  campus  and  the  town, 
including  a  large  sized  tent,  a  local  orchestra,  an  un- 
limited amount  of  good  humor,  a  miscellaneous  as- 
sortment of  interior  and  exterior  decorations  (in- 
cluding seventy-five  sailor  suits,  red  socks,  etc.,  as 
per  illustrations). 

The  whole  community  is  indebted  to  1911.  It  will 
be  hard  to  wait  five  years  for  them  to  come  back  again. 

DDD 

What  made  the  1911  reunion  a  genuine  success 

was  prepa redness.     Every  little  boy  in  the  class  now 

knows  what  that  means.    What 

£?J?£TTTX*lA?.:  .  „„ it   means   in   class   reunions   is

LOOK!  that  somebody  has  to  take  hold 

of  the  class  organization  early, 

write  letters,  form  a  committee  on  programme  and 

organization,  and  see  to  it  that  the  reunion  will  be 

worth  coming  to. 

These  classes  are  due  for  reunions  next  June: 
1916,  1857,  1867,  1887,  1892,  1897,  1902,  1907, 
1912. 

During  the  summer  the  alumni  office  will  get  the 
addresses  of  the  men  in  these  classes,  and  it  wants  to 
get  the  active  assistance  of  all  of  them  in  getting 
every  man  in  all  of  them  back. 

DDD 

All  indications  point  to  a  record  breaking  attend- 
ance in  the  summer  school,  which  opens  just  as  this 

NEW  STUDENTS      '^   ^    \°    *""?  ^    'm    f 

regular  session,  which  opens  the 

second  week  in  September.  The  last  issue  of  The 
Review  gave  helpful  suggestions  to  the  alumni  who 
know  of  boys  who  want  to  come  to  the  University,  but 
lack  the  means.  Full  information  is  given  in  that 
article  about  the  help  the  University  can  offer  such 
boys.  The  demand  for  help  far  exceeds  our  ability 
to  meet  it ;  three  times  as  many  worthy  boys  apply  as 
can  be  helped.  The  alumni  have  a  fine  opportunity  to 
help  here. 

The  alumni  can  be  of  the  greatest  possible  assist- 
ance, too,  in  the  matter  of  seeing  that  boys  in  their 
neighborhood  who  are  going  to  college  get  the  proper 
sort  of  information  about  the  University;  and  in 
seeing  that  boys  of  ability,  who  ought  to  go  to  the

University,  are  not  diverted  elsewhere  by  some  trivial 
inducement. 

ODD 

This  is  the  last  issue  of  The  Review  for  the  cur- 
rent session.     We  will  meet  you  once  more  when 
1916-17  opens.     We've  had  a  wonder- 
ABOl'T  THE    folly  fine  year  in  the  University,  and 
ITSELF  we've  tried  to  tell  you  about  it,  and  to 

keep  you  posted  on  what  is  going  on. 
We  haven't  succeeded  as  well  as  we  mean  to  succeed 
in  making  The  Review  reflect  the  life  and  activities 
of  the  University ;  but  we  mean  to  keep  trying  all  the 
time  to  do  that,  and  we  are  confident  that  with  your 
continued  help  and  co-operation  we  can  succeed. 
Alumni  publications  sometimes  do  succeed ;  more 
often  they  fail.  The  Review  has  been  greatly  en- 
couraged by  two  things:  one  is  that  it  has  paid  its 
way  on  a  reasonable  subscription  charge,  and  the 
other  is  that  a  large  proportion  of  its  subscribers  have 
said  that  they  like  it,  and  get  more  than  their  money's 
worth.  We  will  not  be  satisfied  unless  our  subscribers 
do  get  more  than  they  pay  for.  You  can  help  The 
Review  be  what  you  would  like  it  to  be,  in  three  def- 
inite ways:  (1)  by  writing  suggestions,  criticisms, 
and  brief  articles  of  interest  for  it;  (2)  by  telling 
other  alumni  about  it,  and  telling  us  about  them; 
(3)  by  paying  your  subscription — that  up  to  this 
moment  you  may  have  forgotten.     Au  revoir. 


THE  BACCALAUREATE  SERMON 

The  baccalaureate  sermon,  preached  on  Sunday, 
May  28,  by  Bishop  J.  H.  McCoy,  of  Birmingham, 
Alabama,  was  the  beginning  of  the  one  hundred  and 
twenty-first  commencement  of  the  University,  a  com- 
mencement that  was  noted  for  the  large  crowds  pres- 
ent, the  enthusiasm  and  loyalty  shown  by  the  alumni, 
and  the  renown  of  the  chief  speakers. 

Taking  as  his  subject  Saint  Paul's  address  upon 
Mars  Hill,  Bishop  McCoy  preached  a  masterly  ser- 
mon on  the  infinite  relationships  of  human  life.  His 
text  was:  "For  in  him  we  live  and  move  and  have 
our  being." 

"It  is  only  in  the  amplitude  of  our  dwelling  place, 
the  reach  of  our  relationships,  that  we  measure  our 
life,"  said  Bishop  McCoy,  in  beginning  his  sermon. 
Later  lie  declared:  "Toil  have  never  inventoried  the 
reach  of  man's  relationships  until  you  reach  his  spir- 
itual relations,  his  religion,  which  brings  him  into 
contact  with  the  divine.  It  looks  as  if  we  are  provin- 
cial in  our  relations,  our  attachments;  yet  there  is 
that  strange  contradiction  that  God  has  put  into  the 
heart — that  longing  for  all  spaces." 


Vesper   Service 

On  Sunday  afternoon  at  6  o'clock  a  vesper  service 
was  conducted  on  the  campus  under  the  Davie  Poplar 
by  Rev.  W.  D.  Moss  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of 
Chapel  Hill.  The  setting  was  beautiful  and  the 
service  inspiring.  The  vesper  service  took  the  place 
in  the  commencement  program  of  the  sermon  before 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  which  has 
occupied  a  place  in  previous  years. 


SENIOR  CLASS  EXERCISES 

On  Monday  morning,  May  29th,  at  10:30  o'clock 
Gerrard  Hall  held  a  well  filled  audience,  which  had 
gathered  to  hear  the  senior  class  day  exercises.  An 
hour  before  this  time  the  seniors  had  marched  to 
chapel  for  prayers  with  Dr.  Kemp  P.  Battle,  of  the 
class  of  1849.  For  seventy  years  or  more,  Dr.  Battle 
has  witnessed  the  various  classes  go  out  from  the 
University  campus  into  their  life  work.  In  giving 
advice  to  the  seniors,  Dr.  Battle  said: 

"If  you  want  to  succeed  in  life,  whatever  you  pro- 
fess to  do,  do  well.  The  great  word  upon  which  suc- 
cess depends  is  reliability.  Get  the  respect  and  con- 
fidence of  your  community  and  then  you  have  re- 
liability." 

Permanent   Officers 

Permanent  officers  of  the  class  were  elected  as  fol- 
lows :  President,  F.  F.  Bradshaw,  of  Hillsboro ;  Sec- 
retary, H.  B.  Hester,  of  Hester;  Treasurer,  G.  C. 
Royall,  Jr.,  of  Goldsboro.  A  committee  on  perma- 
nent organization  was  appointed :  W.  B.  Umstead,  of 
Bahama,  chairman ;  R.  B.  House,  of  Thelma :  and 
F.  0.  Clarkson.  of  Charlotte. 

Gift   Presented 

The  gift  of  the  senior  class  to  the  University  was 
presented  by  S.  C.  Pike,  of  Liberty.  It  took  the 
form  of  an  endowment  insurance  policy  which  will 
mature  in  ten  years,  the  value  of  the  policy  to  be 
$2,"i00.00.  An  annual  fee  of  four  dollars  will  be 
collected  from  each  member  of  the  class  to  secure 
this. 

In  a  stirring  farewell.  President  F.  F.  Bradshaw 
emphasized  the  place  the  University  held  in  the 
minds  and  thoughts  of  the  seniors,  and  the  love  and 
loyalty  for  Alma  Mater  which  each  member  should 
keep  with  him.  He  also  urged  upon  the  class  the 
compelling  duties  of  citizenship  ahead  of  them. 
Mangum  Medal  Contest 

The  seniors  then  turned  the  meeting  over  to  Pres- 
ident Graham  who  presided  at  the  Mangum  Medal 
contest.  The  representatives  of  the  class  in  this 
contest  with  their  subjects  were:  W.  B.  Umstead,  of 
Bahama,  —  "National     Self-Consciousness     in     the

United  States'" ;  F.  O.  Clarkson,  of  Charlotte, — ''The 
Soul  of  Mexico";  S.  C.  Pike,  of  Liberty, — "Amer- 
ica's Growth  of  Freedom."'  The  honor  of  winning 
the  medal,  the  announcement  of  which  was  made 
Wednesday  morning,  fell  to  W.  B.  Umstead. 
Exercises  Under  Davie  Poplar 
At  5  :30,  under  the  Davie  Poplar  the  closing  ex- 
ercises of  the  senior  class  were  held.     The  exercises 


were  presided  over  by  the  class  president  and  were 
witnessed  by  a  large  assemblage.  The  program  was  as 
follows :  class  history,  S.  C.  Pike ;  class  statistics,  W. 
B.  Umstead ;  class  prophecy,  W.  C.  Rymer ;  last  will 
and  testament,  T.  C.  Linn,  Jr. ;  class  poem,  R.  B. 
House.  The  pipe  was  passed  around  and  nineteen 
sixteen  gave  place  to  nineteen  seventeen  as  leaders  of 
the  campus. 


ALUMNI  DAY 


The  Alumni  Returning  in  Large  Numbers  Find  the  Day  the  Biggest  and  Happiest 
Occasion  in  Recent  University  History. 


Tuesday,  May  30th,  was  Alumni  Day  and  it  was, 
in  fact,  as  the  alumni  committtee  had  hoped  that  it 
would  be,  the  "biggest,  happiest  day  of  commence- 
ment." Scores  of  alumni  returning  for  their  vari- 
ous class  reunions  and  for  the  other  features  on  the 
program  for  the  celebration  of  Alumni  Day  found  on 
the  "Hill"  what  they  were  looking  for — many  of 
their  old  comrades  and  friends  and  a  real  good  time. 
No  day  in  the  recent  history  of  the  University  has 
been  so  thoroughly  enjoyed  from  first  to  last  as  this 
Alumni  Day. 

The  exercises  of  Alumni  Day  were  begun  with  the 
class  reunions  at  10:30  o'clock  Tuesday  morning  in 
Gerrard  Hall,  Hon.  Francis  D.  Winston  presiding  in 
his  usual  happy  style. 

Class  of  1866 

General  J.  S.  Carr  was  the  only  member  of  the 
class  of  1866  present,  the  other  living  members  of 
the  class,  Senator  W.  R.  Webb,  of  Tennessee,  and 
A.  F.  Johnson,  of  Clinton,  being  unable  to  attend. 

He  was  introduced  by  Judge  Winston  as  the  "loyal 
son  of  the  old  University  and  devoted  father  of  the 
new." 

General  Carr  expressed  the  great  love  which  he 
had  for  his  alma  mater,  saying  that  the  call  of  "Come 
back  to  Carolina"  was  stronger  than  anything  which 
had  reached  him  on  the  Pacific  coast.  He  referred 
feelingly  to  the  fact  that  ten  diplomas  from  the  Uni- 
versity hung  on  the  walls  of  the  Carr  home.  He 
adjured  the  young  men  present  that  "we  old  alumni 
are  committing  into  your  hands  the  greatest  trust  in 
North  Carolina." 

Class  of  1886 

The  class  of  1886,  celebrating  its  30-year  reunion, 
was  back  in  a  goodly  company  and  in  a  great  good 
humor.  For  this  class  Rev.  N.  H.  D.  Wilson,  of 
Goldsboro,  who  was  valedictorian  upon  the  gradua- 
tion of  his  class,  spoke.     He  referred  to  the  loyalty 


of  the  members  of  the  class  of  '86  and  to  their  ac- 
complishments since  they  left  the  campus  walls.  The 
members  of  the  class  present  on  the  stage  were  Rev. 
N.  H.  D.  Wilson,  Goldsboro;  W.  N.  Everett,  Bock- 
ingham:  Clem  G.  Wright,  Greensboro;  Dr.  L.  J. 
Battle,  Washington,  D.  C. ;  W.  S.  Dunston,  Birm-

Manning,  Chapel  Hill ;  W.  H.  Carroll,  Burlington ; 
R.  L.  Stroud,  Ctfapel  Hill ;  G.  B.  Patterson,  Maxton. 
%+  +  Class  of  1891 

For  an  exhibition  of  original  humor  and  native  wit 
the  palm  of  th'e  reunion  exercises  must  go  to  Senator 
G.  H.  Currie,  of  Clarkton,  known  to  his  classmates 
as  "Punch,"  spokesman  for  the  class  of  1891.  He 
made  a  ten-minute  speech  shot  through  with  humor, 
jests,  and  witty  comment,  which  brought  forth  thun- 
derous applause  from  the  audience.  Members  of  the 
class  of  '91  present  were:  G.  H.  Currie,  Clarkton; 
N.  A.  Currie,  Clarkton;  Dr.  C.  S.  Mangum,  Chapel 
Hill;  Wm.  J.  Andrews,  Raleigh;  G.  M.  Graham, 
Durham;  Van  Wyck  Hoke,  Raleigh. 
Class  of  1896 

For  the  class  of  1896,  celebrating  its  twentieth 
year  anniversary,  with  a  good  delegation  present  and 
with  enthusiasm,  George  Stephens,  of  Charlotte,  was 
spokesman.  He  gave  a  brief  sketch  of  every  member 
present.  Those  present  on  the  stage  were:  George 
Stephens.  Charlotte;  J.  S.  White,  Mebane;  J.  H. 
White.  Graham ;  F.  F.  Bahnson,  Winston-Salem ;

ingham,  Charlotte ;  R.  T.  Wills.  Greensboro ;  Wescott 
Roberson,  High  Point. 

Class  of  1901 

The  class  of  1901  came  next.  Dr.  R.  O.  E.  Davis, 
of  Washington,  D.  G,  presided,  and  E.  C.  Willis,  of 
North  Wilkesboro,  was  spokesman.     Those  present

reunion  in  great  style  throughout  commencement  but 
especially  on  Alumni  Day.  President  W.  A.  Dees,  of 
Goldsboro,  presided  over  the  exercises  in  Gerrard 
Hall.  "One  hundred  men,"  Mr.  Dees  said,  "gradu- 
ated in  the  class  of  1911,  and  not  one  has  died  since." 
Secretary  I.  C.  Moser,  of  Burlington,  introduced  his

Class  of  1915 
The  class  of  1915  was  represented  by  President 
R.  G.  Fitzgerald,  of  Hillsboro,  as  spokesman.     He 


said  that  though  young  the  class  of  1915  was  strong 
in  its  love  for  alma  mater.  Among  the  members  of 
this  class  present  were :  R.  G.  Fitzgerald,  Hillsboro ; 
T.  C.  Boushall,  Raleigh;  A.  H.  Carr,  Durham;  R.

Alumni  Conference — The  University  and  Progress 
At  12:30  an  informal  alumni  conference  on  the 
topic  "The  University  and  Progress"  was  held.  Pres- 
ident Graham  lead  in  the  discussion  of  this  topic.  He 
gave  a  brief  review  of  the  main  happenings  of  the 
University  year  and  spoke  of  the  serious  problems 
confronting  the  University  in  its  growth  and  devel- 
opment. He  spoke  of  the  University  student  as  the 
most  important  person  connected  with  the  institu- 
tion. Fifty  per  cent  of  the  students  earned  fifty  dol- 
lars or  more  towards  defraying  their  expenses  during 
the  past  college  year.  The  University  professor  must 
be  paid  a  higher  salary,  he  declared.  The  true  test 
of  a  professor's  worth,  he  said,  is  productive  scholar- 
ship. 

President  Graham  discussed  the  question  of  main- 
tenance. The  point  raised  was:  How  widely  ser- 
viceable, and  how  genuinely  great,  and  how  success- 
ful does  North  Carolina  wish  her  University  to  be- 
come. It  was  more  thon  one  hundred  years  after  the 
founding  of  the  University  before  a  building  on  the 
campus  was  erected  entirely  by  the  State.  The  Uni- 
versity has  grown  far  beyond  her  present  limits  of 
maintenance,  accommodation,  and  physical  equip- 
ment. 

Alumni  Association  Meets 

Immediately  after  the  conference,  a  business  meet- 
ing of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  University  was 
held.  Gen.  J.  S.  Carr,  '66,  of  Durham,  was  re-elected 
president  of  the  Association  for  the  coming  year,  and 
E.  R.  Rankin,  '13,  of  Chapel  Hill,  was  elected  sec- 
retary. Pledges  were  made  amounting  to  about  three 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars  to  be  paid  on  a  debt  in- 
curred several  years  ago. 

Luncheon  A  Big  Success 

The  Alumni  Luncheon,  held  in  Swain  Hall  at  1  :30 
o'clock  Tuesday  afternoon,  was  a  splendid  success.

HKST  L,ORDS  OF  THE  CAMPUS  Ul'KIXC  COMMENCEMENT— CLASS  OF   1911 


Covers  were  laid  for  four  hundred  and  fifty,  and 
the  Hall  was  more  than  filled. 

A  spirit  of  good  fellowship  permeated  the  atmos- 
phere, and  the  luncheon  itself  was  one  of  the  most 
elaborate  ever  held  at  the  University.  Something 
laughable  was  occurring  from  the  beginning  until  the 
end.  Charlotte  and  Greensboro  engaged  in  heated 
arguments  over  the  Mecklenburg  Declaration.  Mutt 
and  Jeff  were  there.  Black-faced  performers  cracked 
jokes  on  local  celebrities. 

The  class  of  1911,  clad  in  sailor  suits,  fifty  strong, 
were  in  evidence  on  almost  every  occasion.  They 
gave  yells  and  songs  and  did  war  dances  contin- 
uously. 

Splendid  music  for  the  luncheon,  as  for  all  of  the 
commencement  exercises,  was  furnished  by  Don 
Richardson's  orchestra  of  Xew  York  City. 

President  Graham  announced  a  gift  of  four  thou- 
sand dollars  from  General  Julian  S.  Carr,  for  a  Uni- 
versity fellowship  to  lie  given  each  year  to  some 
member  of  the  junior  class. 

After  the  luncheon  the  married  members  of  1 '- >  1 1 
played  a  game  of  baseball  with  the  unmarried  and 
defeated  them. 


DI  WINS  DEBATE 
The  annual  inter-society  debate  was  won  by  the 
Di  Society,  represented  by  II.  1'.  Sharpe  and  C.  B. 
Hyatt.  The  representatives  of  the  l'hi  Society  were 
J.  S.  Siell  and  E.  E.  W.  Duncan.  The  Phi  had  the 
affirmative  and  the  I>i  the  negative  of  the  query,  "Re- 
solved, That  all  child  labor  legislation  should  be 
under  federal  control,  constitutionality  granted." 
Hon.  6.  B.  Patterson,  of  Maxton,  a  member  of  the 
class  of  is**';,  presided  over  the  dbeate.  S.  C.  Pike. 
of  the  senior  class,  was  secretary.  The  judges  were 
Dr.  C.  L.  Raper,  Prof.  A.  C.  Mfclntosh,  and  Dr.  W. 


W.  Pierson,  Jr.  The  Bingham  Medal  was  awarded 
to  < '.  B.  Hyatt.  This  medal  is  given  each  year  to  the 
best  debater  in  the  commencement  debate  by  Hon. 
R.  YV.  Bingham,  '91,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  son  of  Col. 
Robert  Bingham,  and  former  mayor  of  Louisville. 
After  the  debate  a  reception  was  given  in  the  By- 
num  Gymnasium  by  the  president  and  members  of 
the  faculty.     The  reception  was  largely  attended. 


1912  PLANS  FOR  REUNION 

The  class  of  1912  is  already  making  plans  for  its 
five-year  reunion  which  will  be  held  at  commence- 
ment of  1917.  It  promises  to  have  present  a  large 
crowd  and  to  hold  quite  a  successful  reunion.  The 
president  of  this  class  is  F.  B.  Drane  of  Chena, 
Alaska,  and  the  secretary  is  C.  E.  Norman,  of  Char- 
leston, S.  C.  A  reunion  committee  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  work  in  conjunction  with  the  class  officers, 
and  this  committee  will  have  something  highly  inter- 
esting to  sav  to  all  members  of  11112  at  an  earlv  date.

THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 
COMMENCEMENT  DAY 


Secretary  William  G.  McAdoo  Discusses  the  Significance  of  a  Pan-American  Policy,  and 
One  Hundred  and  Fifteen  Degrees  are  Conferred. 


After  the  rain  of  the  preceding  day,  the  per- 
fed  weather  of  Wednesday  was  happy  augury  for 
the  commencement  celebration.  At  eleven  o'clock, 
the  academic  procession,  to  the  music  of  Don  "Rich- 
ardson's orchestra,  inarched  from  the  Alumni  Build- 
ing to  Memorial  Hall — the  brilliant  and  variegated 
colors  of  the  academic  gowns  and  hoods  shining  re- 
splendent in  the  brilliant  sunlight. 

Following  the  prayer  by  the  Rev.  W.  S.  Long, 
President  Graham  introduced,  to  perhaps  the  largest; 
audience  that  ever  assembled  in  the  building,  the 
speaker  of  the  day,  the  Honorable  William  G.  Mc- 
Adoo. Secretary  of  the  U.  S.  Treasury.  The  sub- 
ject of  the  address,  peculiarly  appropriate  at  this 
moment  in  American  history,  was  "The  Significance 
of  a  Pan-American  Policy."  The  address,  which  was 
read  from  manuscript  and  consumed  in  the  reading- 
only  eighteen  minutes,  carried  with  it  the  authority  of 
one  who  has  recently  visited  South  America  as  the 
official  representative  of  this  government;  who  is 
devoting  his  best  efforts  to  promoting  better  trade 
facilities  for  North  and  South  America;  and  who,  a 
little  while  ago,  presided  over  the  great  Pan-Ameri- 
can Conference  of  Bankers  at  Washington  City. 

Tlie  speaker  clearly  pointed  out  that  whatever  the 
theorist  may  say  as  to  the  danger  to  Latin-America 
from  the  Monroe  Doctrine,  certain  it  is  that  the 
countries  of  Latin-America  have  now  achieved  a 
distinct  position  in  the  world's  affairs.  In  regard  to 
the  attitude  of  the  United  States  toward  her  sister 
republics,  the  speaker  stated  that  no  doubt  remains,  in 
the  Latin-American  world,  that  the  United  States  has 
sought  to  treat  all  the  governments  of  America  on  a 
basis  of  equality  and  co-operation.  Not  content  with 
this  traditional  policy,  we  have  gone  still  further  to 
give  solemn  expression  of  it  all  to  the  entire  world. 
"Under  the  lofty  leadership  of  a  man,  endowed  not 
only  with  serene  vision  of  the  historian  intimately  ac- 
quainted with  the  forces  that  have  shaped  our  de- 
velopment, but  with  combinations  of  well-balanced 
judgments  and  creative  statesmanship,  we  have  de- 
termined to  enter  into  a  solemn  pact  with  all  the 
Republics  of  America,  for  the  mutual  guaranty  of 
the  integrity  of  all." 

In  describing  the  Pan-American  Financial  Con- 
ference of  1915,  which  he  himself  acting  for  the 
United  States  had  called,  Mr.  McAdoo  stated  that 
this  and  the  recent  sessions  of  the  international  high 


commission  "have  demonstrated  the  ability  and  the 
willingness  of  the  people  of  the  American  continent 
to  assist  one  another  in  the  development  of  their 
marvelous  natural  resources."  And  in  conclusion, 
the  speaker  impressively  said :  "I  am  most  anxious 
that  you  should  see  the  full  significance  of  this  move- 
ment. It  means  that  the  Americas  are  sounding  a 
new  note  in  international  policy;  that  they  have  not 
only  begun  to  see  but  are  acting  upon  the  principle 
that  the  welfare  of  each  depends  upon  the  prosperity 
of  all.  It  is  your  duty  as  well  as  mine  to  hold  high 
and  unassailable  this  new  concept  of  international 
relation.  By  so  doing  we  will  be  performing  a  ser- 
vice to  our  own  country,  to  the  American  continent, 
and  to  the  civilized  world."

R.  O.  Everett  and  Bruce  Craven, — "Federal  In- 
come Tax."  Edwards  &  Broughton  Printing  Co., 
Raleigh,  1ST.  C.  1916. 
The  pnrpo.se  in  view  in  the  preparation  of  this 
book,  as  explained  in  the  Introduction,  has  been  "to 
reduce  the  requirements  of  the  new  law  to  plain 
language  so  that  any  one  by  reading  it  may  clearly 
grasp  it  and  know  his  rights  as  well  as  his  dnties 
under  the  law."  This  purpose  has  been  carried  out 
by  the  authors,  by  giving  an  analysis  of  the  statute 
and  an  explanation  of  the  various  subjects  to  be  af- 
fected by  it.  The  statute  is  given  in  full,  together 
with  regulations  and  special  rulings  by  the  Treasury 
Department,  followed  by  the  Brushaber  Case  'Con- 
structing the  statute  and  the  Sixteenth  Amendment; 
and  also  by  the  prescribed  forms  for  returns,  and  sta- 
tistics showing  receipts  under  the  law. 

Mr.  Everett  is  a  member  of  the  Durham  Bar,  and 
an  alumnus  of  the  University,  class  of  1903.  Mr.

Cain,  William — "Earth  Pressure,  Retaining  Walls 
and  Bins."     John  Wiley  and  Sons,  New  York. 
1916. 
The   theory   of   earth   pressure    as    developed   by 
Poncelet,    Weyrauch,    and    others    after    Coulomb's 
"sliding  wedge"  hypothesis  for  the  computation  of 
earth  thrust  against  a  wall,  and  also  Rankine's  not- 
able theory  of  earth  pressure,  have  all  neglected  the 
effect  of  cohesion  which  certainly  exists  for  ordinary 
more  or  less  compacted  clayey  earth,  the  material 
usually  met  with  in  practice.     Theory  has  assumed 
the  earth  to  be  in  all  cases  a  perfectly  granular  mass 


similar  to  clean  dry  sand,  endowed  with  friction  but 
entirely  devoid  of  cohesion.  This  is  far  from  the 
chnracteristics  of  compacted  clay  which  may  even 
possess  sufficient  cohesion  to  stand  alone  vertically  in 
a  bank  and  cause  no  thrust  at  all  against  a  wall.  But 
cohesion  is  liable  to  be  diminished  by  the  action  of 
moisture.  This  together  with  the  fact  that  a  large 
part  of  the  cohesion  in  a  soil  when  loosely  deposited 
behind  a  wall  is  destroyed  has  led  engineers  to  re- 
main on  the  side  of  safety  and  not  rely  on  any  co- 
hesion whatsoever.  This  large  factor  of  safety,  how- 
ever, is  unscientific  and  uneconomical  for  many  cases 
where  the  clay  back  of  the  wall  is  always  compacted 
and  drained. 

Professor  Cain's  book  is  the  first  and  only  treatise 
in  English  that  gives  the  theory  of  coherent  earth. 
This  is  a  distinctive  contribution  to  the  literature  of 
engineering  and  it  seems  to  be  the  last  word  that 
needs  to  be  said  in  connection  with  the  theory  of 
earth  pressure.  There  yet  remains  to  be  established 
more  accurate  and  reliable  data  on  the  co-efficient  of 
cohesion  for  different  earths,  and  these  are  now 
being  determined  by  the  United  States  Bureau  of 
Standards  in  response  to  a  plea  by  Professor  Cain 
for  such  a  series  of  tests.  This  book  should  bring 
about  a  more  rational  design  of  retaining  walls  and 
lead  to  a  more  intelligent  treatment  of  such  import- 
ant problems  as  pressures  in  foundations,  bracing  of 
trenches,  pressure  in  tunnel  linings,  etc. 

This  book  contains  297  pages,  6x9;  99  figures  and 
several  valuable  tables.  There  are  six  chapters  and 
also  an  appendix  containing  two  parts. 

Chapter  I  gives  clearly  the  laws  of  friction  and 
cohesion  as  applied  to  earth,  tables  of  experimental 
data,  and  a  thorough  discussion  as  to  the  direction 
and  distribution  of  stress. 

In  Chapter  II,  for  earth  devoid  of  cohesion,  com- 
plete graphical  methods  are  given;  in  Chapter  III, 
formulas  are  derived  and  further  graphical  methods 
.are  established;  in  Chaper  IV  is  given  the  complete 
design  of  a  number  of  retaining  walls  of  masonry  or 
reinforced  concrete  of  a  variety  of  types,  and  a  num- 
ber of  tables  are  added  for  the  ready  use  of  con- 
structors. 

In  Chapter  V  the  subjects  of  earth  pressures  in 
coherent  earth,  stable  slopes,  foundations,  the  thrust 
against  a  retaining  wall,  the  bracing  of  trenches  and 
the  pressures  on  tunnel  linings  are  treated  in  great 
detail. 

The  theory  of  bins  is  given  in  Chapter  VI,  and  the 
attempt  is  made  there  to  reach  fairly  good  results  on 
the  subject  of  the  thrusts  on  the  walls  of  shallow 
bins  filled  with  coal,  etc. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


251 


The  case  of  stresses  in  wedge-shaped  reinforced 
concrete  beams,  which  exist  in  the  toes,  heels  and 
counterforts  of  reinforced  concrete  retaining  walls, 
finds  approximate  solutions  in  Appendix  I,  where  a 
number  of  diagrams  are  given  to  facilitate  compu- 
tations. 

Professor  Cain's  book  is  comprehensive  and  not- 
able because  of  the  original  matter  which  it  contains 
and  the  clearness  of  presentation.  It  is  particularly 
nseful  to  students  and  of  real  value  to  the  designer.

POPULAR  POST-GRADUATE  WORK 

A  novel  experiment  in  University  extension  work 
begins  in  Raleigh  next  week  when  there  will  be  given 
here  the  first  of  a  series  of  lectures  and  clinics  by 
Dr.  Lewis  Webb  Hill,  of  Harvard  University,  expert 
on  children's  diseases,  to  a  special  class  of  local  doc- 
tors. The  following  day  he  will  give  the  same  in- 
struction in  Halifax  county,  going  afterwards  to 
Edgecombe,  Wilson,  Wayne,  and  Johnston,  returning 
to  Raleigh  the  beginning  of  the  following  week  and 
continuing  to  make  the  rounds  until  the  summer 
course  is  completed  in  seventeen  weeks.  By  this 
method  the  practicing  physicians  in  the  section  men- 
tioned will  be  enabled  to  obtain  for  an  expenditure  of 
$30  post-graduate  instruction  from  a  recognized  ex- 
pert that  will  interfere  but  slightly  with  their  work, 
that  they  could  have  otherwise  received  only  by  a 
trip  North  involving  a  number  of  weeks'  time  and 
several  hundred  dollars  expense. 

This  plan,  which  was  worked  out  by  Dr.  Rankin 
of  the  Board  of  Health  in  consultation  with  other 
physicians  and  with  the  University  authorities,  is  in 
operation  in  no  other  State  in  the  Union.  Yet  its 
proposal  has  met  with  such  an  enthusiastic  reception 
that  there  are  already  several  other  sections  being 
arranged  among  State  physicians,  which  will  be  sup- 
plied with  lecturers  as  needed,  and  which  may  take 
up  the  line  of  work  desired  by  the  doctors  themselves. 
With  the  extension  of  the  plan,  it  should  be  possible 
in  a  few  years  for  the  progressive  physician  to  keep 
abreast  with  the  latest  practice  in  departments  thai 
are  now  given  very  largely  to  specialists  and  without 
interruption  of  his  borne  duties. 

The  medical  profession  is  that  one  which  is  sub- 
ject to  most  constant  shift  and  change  in  method,  the 
precedents  in  which  soonest  grow  old,  in  which  learn 
ing  is  Ieasi  conclusive.  As  in  the  case  of  diseases  of 
children,  there  are  many  of  its  branches  which  can 
be  mastered  only  by  the  special  post-graduate  work 
and  clinics  which  but  a  small  proportion  of  its  mem- 


bers have  heretofore  been  able  to  afford.  The  idea 
of  the  State  taking  charge  of  this  work  by  drawing 
the  doctors  together  in  co-operative  effort  after  the 
manner  of  a  farmers'  institute  is  novel,  but  it  looks 
to  be  sound  to  the  core.  In  the  beginning  the  plan  has 
met  with  an  enthusiastic  reception  from  the  profes- 
sion. It  is  one  that  promises  more  in  its  quiet  way 
and  for  less  cost  from  the  mass  of  people  benefited 
than  anything  we  have  seen  suggested  in  a  long- 
while. — Raleigh  Times,  June  2,  1916. 


DR.  HENDERSON  MAKES  ADDRESS 

On  May  19,  as  part  of  the  official  ceremonies  in 
connection  with  the  celebration  of  the  one  hundred 
and  forty-first  anniversary  of  the  Mecklenburg  Dec- 
laration of  Independence,  an  historical  address  was 
delivered  by  Dr.  Archibald  Henderson  to  an  overflow 
audience  in  the  Hall  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
Charlotte.  This  address,  entitled  "The  Revolution  in 
North  Carolina  in  1775,"  created  a  profound  im- 
pression. On  the  basis  of  evidence  strictly  contem- 
poraneous, that  is.  of  the  month  of  May  and  the 
year  1775,  Dr.  Henderson  demonstrated  that  the 
news  of  the  Battle  of  Lexington  reached  Charlotte  on 
May  19,  1775,  new  style.  The  significance  of  this 
historical  discovery  arises  from  the  fact  that,  accord- 
ing to  the  evidence  of  the  participants,  it  was  on  the 
day  following  the  arrival  of  this  news  that  independ- 
ence was  declared.

THE  MONTH'S  MAIL 
EXTRACTS  FROM  LETTERS  FROM  ALUMNI 

"I  will  be  one  of  five  hundred  to  give  $500  at  any  time  before  1920." — D.  B.  W. 

"The  alumni  as  a  whole  are  very  enthusiastic  over  this  plan  and  it  will  only  be  a  matter  of  a  few 
years  before  the  fund  will  amount  to  a  sum  which  will  be  of  great  benefit  to  the  University.  I  wish 
I  were  in  a  position  to  give  ten  times  the  amount  of  my  pledge." — T.  D.  V. 

"I  believe  you  will  meet  with  splendid  response  and  it  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  contribute  my 
little  mite— $50."— W.  S.  D.,  '86. 

"What  grateful  son  of  the  University  has  not  dreamed  through  the  years  of  the  day  he  would  be- 
queath to  it  a  legacy  worthy  of  its  worth  to  him  ?" — C.  G.  F.,  '88. 

"A  gratifying  opportunity  to  express  the  appreciation  that  every  alumnus  must  feel  in  return  for 
the  help  and  inspiration. which  the  institution  has  been  to  him." — T.  B.  F. 

"This  idea  will  concentrate  and  intensify  our  interest  in  the  growth  of  the  University  and  our 
knowledge  of  its  affairs." — H.  B.  G. 

"I  heartily  thank  you  for  giving  me  the  chance  to  express  in  this  small  way  the  deep  affection 
I  have  for  the  University  and  the  sense  of  gratitude  I  shall  always  have." — R.  M.  H. 

"I  feel  indebted  to  you  for  having  provided  the  opportunity  whereby  we  may  all  help  in  the  won- 
derful work  the  University  is  doing." — S.  L. 

"I  wish  I  could  make  it  a  million.  I  believe  this  is  the  greatest  all-round  movement  as  far  as  the 
mass  of  the  alumni  are  concerned,  because  nobody  is  debarred  from  lending  aid." — S.  E.  M. 

"An  excellent  plan  and  one  welcomed  by  every  alumnus." — T.   S.   P. 

"I  enclose  my  check  and  will  be  glad  when  I  am  in  position  to  show  my  full  interest  and  faith  in 
the  great  work  the  University  is  doing." — R.  G.  S. 

"I  hope  I  mav  show  more  nearly  the  great  love  and  gratitude  that  I  have  for  my  Alma  Mater. 
— H.  M.  S. 

"It  gives  me  a  tremendous  thrill  thus  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  abounding  life  of  the  University." 
— H.  C.  S.

CY  THOMPSON  SAYS— 

WHAT  ARE  YOU  WORTH? 

How  much  money  has  been  and  must  yet  be  invested  in  your  education  to  equip  you  to  become  an 
efficient  producer?  What  is  the  present  value  of  your  life  to  your  estate?  How  can  you  discount  the 
loss   to   your   family,   your   creditors,   and   society — should  you -not  live  to  produce,  repay,  and  provide? 

AS  LONG  AS  MEN  LABOR 

And  as  long  as  men  are  mortal.  Life  Insurance  will  always  be  the  one  instrument  for  nullifying 
the  constant  menace  of  the  loss  of  the  fruits  of  labor  through  Death.  Hence,  nothing  can  disorganize 
or  supplant  it. 

No  substitute  for  Life  Insurance  exists — just  as  there  is  none  for  fire  insurance.  There  is  no  equal 
way  by  which  a  young  man  can  protect  his  creditors  and  those  who  are  or  may  become  financially  de- 
pendent upon  him.     It  has  no  competitor. 

AMERICA'S  FIRST 

The  NEW  ENGLAND  is  the  oldest  Massachusetts  company  and  the  first  old  line,  legal  reserve 
mutual  company  chartered  in  this  country  for  the  purpose  of  insuring  lives.  It  offers  superior  service. 
Every  provision  and  stipulation  and  precaution  that  can  be  devised  to  safeguard  this  Insurance  and  give 
it  the  richest  potency  is  embodied  in  its  policy  contracts. 

Today  while  you  are  in  sound  health  the  opportunity  is  open  to  you.  Let  us  help  you  to  avail  your- 
self  of   its   lasting   and   comforting   benefits.     Today  while  you  may,  see  us  or  write  us.
