OPINION AND COMMENT
COME TO THE GREAT PATRIOTIC RALLY!!!
As the "Review" goes to press President Graham is issuing the following
highly important statement to the press and people of North Carolina. To
you, fellow alumni, it is a special call to be present and participate in a great
patriotic meeting. Alma Mater calls every one of her sons not at Oglethorpe
or elsewhere in the Federal service to join her in this, her expression of loyalty
to the nation in its hour of supreme crisis.
"In response to urgent invitations extended to the Secretary of War and
to the Secretary of the Navy to visit North Carolina on the occasion of the
commencement of the University, we have the acceptance of each of these great
officials of the government, and assurances that they will be present and speak
in Memorial Hall of the University, June sixth, at eleven A. M.
"Few men in the world have responsibilities at this moment so great as
these two men. Their coming to the State now is an event of unusual import-
ance, and we trust that it may be made memorable by a great patriotic cele-
bration, testifying our confidence in the administration of our government and
our complete and enthusiastic loyalty to the supreme cause in which our coun-
try is engaged. We therefore invite the people of this State and section to come
to the University and join in a worthy tribute of welcome to Secretary Baker
and to Secretary Daniels.
"Should either or both of them be prevented from coming by any cir-
cumstance, inunediate notice will be telegraphed to the papers."

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
If their class room work was satisfactory up to May
first, they were given credit as if the term had been
completed. Military drill by the eight University
companies has gone on each afternoon from 4:30 tj
6:00 P. M. on the athletic field. The local authori-
ties have been assisted in the work by. Captain H.
H. Broadhurst, U. S. A., who was detailed by the
government to come over once a week, and by Lieuten-
ant L. P. McLendon of the National Guard, and bv
Sergeant Donnelly. With the opening of the 1917-
18 session, it is expected that a Reserve Officer i'
Training Corps will be definitely established here.
In addition to the undergraduates who have gone to
Fort Oglethorpe, a large number of the young alumni
have enlisted here. No figures are yet available;
but from applications received at the college office,
it appears that the number will go to at least two
hundred.
nnn
No changes have been made in the approaching
commencement, except that the dances and other so-
cial feature s that follow the
COMMENCEMENT . , ,
1917 AND THE WAR re 8' ular exercises have been cut
out. The Review had no
strong feeling for eliminating the dances. We be-
lieve in taking our war medicine seriously : but we
do not believe in taking it solemnly. However, on
the whole, we incline to the belief that the students
acted with a true sense of propriety in deciding to
omit the dances. As for the remainder of the pro-
gramme, we are glad to know that it will go forward
as usual, and that the indications are for a larger
number of returning alumni than at any time dur-
ing recent years. This is precisely as it should be.
The University was never so dear to the alumni as
it is now ; it was never so much in their thoughts ; it
never so much needed their informed advice and
other help ; it never had a finer outlook for service.
The years following the war are to be beyond all
question the greatest and most fruitful years in the
history of higher education in this country. We are
ready to serve the country now in the moment of its
war-time need ; we need even more to prepare for the
great period of peace to follow.
nnn
So come back! Come back for Tuesday, -Tune
fifth, for your class re-union. We want to see you,
and we want you to see us. If your class
PRESENT fmesn 't have a re-union, come back for the
alumni conference and the alumni lunch-
eon. We want you to help reorganize the alumni
association, and to help get that body in working
shape for the great work ahead.
For your own comfort, there are certain details
to which you should give early attention. Do not
fail to send your check to E. R. Rankin for your
tickets for the luncheon. They are $1.00 each, and
failure to secure one before your return may possibly
inconvenience you in getting to the luncheon prompt-
ly. Reservations will be filled in the order requests
are received, and if it is desired seats can be reserved
for groups. But Mr. Rankin, the Secretary, must
know beforehand.
And don't fail to make reservations for the ladies
who will be with you ; for they are invited and will
be most cordially welcomed.

University students in large numbers have gladly
responded to such national service as the country
seemed to require, without re-

manner of their going is a mat-
ter of deej) pride to their Alma Matei. She knew
that they would do precisely as they have done, but
she rejoices none the less that her faith is so abun-
dantly justified.
One unescapable result necessarily follows: their
going greatly weakens her at least temporarily. The
importance of keeping the college plant going at full
speed, the importance of not being diverted from the
recent rapid strides of progress, is tremendous. It is
primarily important to the college now and to the
country that the stream of college-trained men is
kept at full strength, and that the college organiza-
tion is kept at full strength. The situation presents
a splendid opportunity for alumni who have no na-
tional service to render directly at present. They
can render this essential service to the University
and to the State and to the country: they can see that
the young men in their immediate neighborhood have
the opportunity to go to the University, and see that
the opportunities of University education are made
clear. Will not each alumnus who reads this note
make a special and extraordinary effort this year to
do this, make it a point of practical, personal pride
to see to it that at least one boy goes through his in-
fluence ? Organize a group of working alumni in
your county to see that the county is thoroughly
covered. Get the names of prospective students from
your county, and see them personallv now before
they make other plans. See that no present student

you run no risk in lending him money. Don't throw

something about it yourself now. The University
hasn't one-third as many scholarships at its disposal
as it can place advantageously with worthy boys this
summer. Sixty dollars would give some boy the op-
portunity of a scholarship for one year.

If there is any one particular in which the Revii w
feels that it has failed more signally than in any
other in the task assigned it to
make itself interesting to its
readers, it is that of securing
letters from the alumni. ft has exhausted its re-
sources in this direction without avail.
But in this hour of supreme crisis we trust there
may be a change of fortune. Heretofore the alumni
attitude has been that there has been nothing of in-
terest to write about, lint the war situation is teem-
ing with interest and the Review expects a steady
supply of letters from the training camps, the ambu-
lance corps, the air squadrons, etc., etc. And with
the letters there should be pictures representing every
phase of the service in which alumni are engaged.
Don't let this opportunity pass. It will give an
interest to this publication which nothing eles in
the world can give it. Who will be first, please ?
ODD
From a recent Tar Heel we clip the following ex-
cellent statement of the realization of duty which
has been borne in upon the conscious-
STAY ness °^ ever . v University student who
has seen his comrades march away to
camp but who has been left behind to continue his
work here :
"Perhaps it is harder to stay than to go. Cer-
tainly it is for many men. Yet the call to the campus
is as clear and insistent as the calh-to the camp.
"To the war-inflamed minds of almost all of us.
it now seems useless and almost farcical to study
and go on classes. 'How stale, and unprofitable' to
us are all the uses of history, economics, science, Eng-
lish and other lifeless routine class-work.
"Yet now as never before it is the duty of the col-
lege student to breathe life into the lifeless work, to
make his knowledge of economics, history, science,
and so forth so accurate, deep, clear and alive that
he can use it to serve most efficiently his community
and his country. Not the man in the trenches or in
the machine-shop or on the farm, but the college stu-
dent, — the college student pre-eminently has both
the leisure and the environment best suited to enable
him in the future to sense and solve the probl ms of
his nation and of the whole world.
"Those who stay in college now and fail to do the
best work they can are the mental cowards and slack-
ers, the intellectual deserters of their country."
EXCHANGE LECTURES
During the week beginning April 23, the lectures
on the Southern University Exchange Foundation
were delivered here by Professor Herbert dishing
Tolman, S. T. D., Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences of Vanderbilt University. In his first lec-
ture, given in Gerrard Hall on Monday evening,
when he was happily introduced by Professor
Bernard, Dr. Tolman spoke on "The Achievement
of Life," and analyzed the principal laws underlying
education, development, and progress. This lecture,
as well as his Chapel Talk on "Faith" to the students
Wednesday morning, was strongly religious in tone —
a reminder that I >r. Tolman is a minister of the Epis-
copal Church, and for three summers past has oc-
cupied the pulpit of Old Trinity Church in Wall
Street, New York. A highly technical paper was
read by Dr. Tolman before the Philological Club, on
Tuesday evening, in which were considered "The Re-
cently Discovered Turfan Inscriptions, dealing with
the Crucifixion." Excellent audiences heard Dr.
Tolman's two lectures, illustrated with beautiful lan-
tern slides, appealing especially to the classical j tn-
dents but of genuine interest to the general public:
"The Shrines of Hellas" and "The Ancient Modu-
ments of Persia." Dr. Tolman's broad scholarship,
his intimate studies of the monuments by personal
tours in Greece and Persia, and his genial simplic-
ity and charm of presentation all combined to nnke
these lectures rarely interesting and informing.

the further expansion of University buildings and
grounds.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
CAROLINA SENDS HER SONS TO CAMP
More Than Two Hundred Carolina Students and Alumni Enroll in the Fort Oglethorpe Training
Camp for Officers' Reserve Corps
"Ich kann nicht anders" declared the great leader
of tlie Reformation. "We can not do otherwise"
reiterates Woodrow Wilson.
This thought finds echo in every Carolinian's heart.
It is in search of "no selfish end" that nearly 200
students of the University of North Carolina have
sought admission to the Fort Oglethorpe Training
Camp for officers. The searching physical examina-
tion to which all were subjected resulted in the re-
jection of nearly fifty applicants, some because of
suhnormal weight, some because of defective vision
or hearing, and others for various minor ailments.
The earnest desire of these men for service is re-
flected in their urgent pleas for acceptance in spite
of physical deficiencies.
Two Hundred Go to Camp
A total of 134 have been accepted among whom
are over sixty per cent of the senior class and three
members of the faculty. The applications of numer-
ous others have not yet been acted upon. A large
number who are below twenty-one years of age have
urged in vain that the age limit be waived. Many
who are not eligible for the Officers' Eeserve Corps
have enlisted as privates in the regular army or in
the National Guard. That this desire for military
service is not merely the contagious enthusiasm of
youth but is an earnest sense of patriotic duty is
shown by the fact that among the alumni as well as
among the students the call to arms has met a prompt
response. From every quarter of the State our form-
er students are enrolling for the Training Camp,
many of them are coming back to Chapel Hill in
order that they may enroll from their Alma Mater.
Dr. Pratt Receives Commission
Dr J. H. Pratt has received his commission as
Major of Engineers and will command the battalion
which he has organized. Captain Myers, an alumnus
of the University, will command the Greensboro
company. At the present writing Dr. Pratt is in
Washington representing this State in a National
Defense Conference. This conference, called by the
Secretary of War, "consists of one delegate from each
state for the purpose of considering the relations of
state and Federal activities in the prosecution of the
war and the methods of organizing state and local
defense committees and their co-operation with the
Council of National Defense."
Faculty Favored Selective Draft
While the fate of the Chamberlain bill was still in
the balance the Faculty "Resolved, that the Secretary
of the Faculty be instructed to write in the name of
the Faculty to our Senators and Representatives in
Congress strongly urging the adoption of the prin-
ciple of the selective draft for the military service of
the United States."
Seniors and Others Receive Academic Credit
In anticipation of the withdrawal of many stu-
dents for military service before the close of the ses-
sion it has been decided that to those who may enlist
in either army or navy and to those who may enroll
in the Reserve Officers' Training Camp full credit
for the session's work will be granted in those subjects
in which at the time of such enlistment or enrollment
they may have a satisfactory standing. As a corollary
to this the seniors who leave under these circum-
stances will receive their degrees as though they had
completed their full course.
University Outlines Policy
Although such credits are granted even to the un-
derclassmen whose sense of patriotism impels them to
forsake their studies for sterner duties, yet it is the
strong belief of the faculty that these younger men
can perform their highest service to our country by
remaining in the University for the present and con-
tinuing their scholastic work. The greater maturity
of mind and body and the broader educational foun-
dation resulting from further study will so increase
their capacity for service that their greater useful-
ness one or two years hence will easily counterbalance
the value of the service they can now perform. We
are entering a prolonged as well as a grave war. It
is an important duty to maintain the steady supply
of well trained college men who must constitute the
source from which the most satisfactory subalterns
are to be drawn.
Commencement to be as Usual
In full recognition of the gravity of the times the
University purposes to exert every energy toward
preparing her young men for military duty. But at
the same time it is highly important that we should
not give way to any form of martial hysteria. So far
as possible the ordinary curriculum and the ordinary
social life of the University will be continued. Many
changes and additions that look toward equipping the
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
203
students for the serious international struggle will
be made. No frivolities nor trivial things may be
permitted to interfere with genuine preparation for
national service. But the human being who entirely
eschews all the lighter things of life becomes morbid
and inefficient. The soldiers in the trenches have
their games, their amateur theatricals, their various
amusements whenever the lulls in conflict permit.
Otherwise they would , go mad. In appreciation of
these elements of human psychology it is purposed to
have our commencement exercises as usual.
Military Instruction to be Offered
Similarly no unnecessary changes in the course
of academic life for next year, nor in the plans for
the Summer School and in the regular session nexl
year. A carefully planned course of military in-
struction will be offered. This course will be op-
tional, but those electing it will be required to give
it the same attention and study demanded in the
regular academic classes. Scholastic credit will \v
granted for satisfactory work. The interest already
shown in this work promises that this course will
be taken by a large proportion of the student body.
The Faculty Committee on Military Training is i n
gaged in outlining a series of special courses to be
offered next year which will contribute toward mili-
tary efficiency. As examples may be mentioned wire-
less telegraphy, the chemistry of munitions, military
hygiene, and first aid work.
McLendon and Campbell Aid
About the middle of April the time for military
drill was changed from one hour on two evenings a
week to an hour and a half five afternoons in the
week. It now supersedes baseball and all other ath-
letics. Captain Broadhurst, the Commandant at the
A. & E. College, has visited us for a day each week
and has given us the benefit of his advice and sug-
gestions. Lieutenant McLendon, who is well remem-
bered on the campus as a capable student and who
lias acquired reputation as an attorney, as a legislator,
and as an efficient officer in the National Guard, has
again proved his loyalty to his Alma Mater by tak-
ing charge of the training of the battalion. A great
loss was sustained when Coach T. J. Campbell left
for a week's visit to his home, before going to the
Reserve Officers' Camp at Plattsburg. He had or-
ganized the battalion and had established it upon a
firm basis. As an athletic coach, as an organizer of
our military unit, and still more as a strong man
and loyal friend, we miss him. Others may carry
on his work but can not fill his place.

WAYNESVILLE WINS THE AYCOCK CUP
The Victory in Fifth Annual Final Contest of High School Debating Union Goes to Vinson Smathers
and Roy Francis of the Waynesville High School
The fifth annual final contest of the High School
Debating Union was held at the University on Thurs-
day and Friday. April 19th and 20th. Messrs. Vin-
son Smathers and Koy Francis, representing the
Waynesville high school, were victorious over all
others and carried away the debating trophy, the Ay-
cock Memorial Cup. They won the decision in the
tinal debate in Memorial Hall, upholding the affirma-
tive side of the query. Resolved, That the Federal
Government should own and operate the railways.
They were opposed in the final debate by Misses
Gladys Andrews and Emma Lindsay, of the Mount
Olive high school, defending the negative.
Two hundred and ninety-six debaters — 101 of
them girls — representing 74 high schools, came from
54 comities in all sections of the State to participate
in the final contest for the Aycock Memorial Cup.
Debaters were present from eastern points, such as
Manteo, 1 )are county ; Sladesville, Hyde county ; and
Atlantic, Carteret county. From the west repre-
sentatives came from Almond and Bryson < iiy,
Swain county; Glade Valley, Alleghany county;
Jefferson, Ashe county; Asheville, Waynesville and
other extreme points. The final contest of the De-
hating Union, the inter-scholastic track meet and the
tennis tournament, altogether made up High School
Week in the University's calendar. Fully 600 vis-
itor- came in Chapel Hill for the week. They were
heartily welcomed and their stay was made enjoyable.
They carried hack with them to the high schools and
the various communities a new knowledge of the co-
operative work of the State University.
The Preliminaries
The 296 debaters who participated in the final con-
tesl had all been successful in their triangular de-
bates on March 30th, in which series 1,324 debaters
representing 331 high schools in 92 counties of the
State participated.
A general meeting; of debaters and teachers was
204
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
held in the auditorium of the Peabody building on
Thursday afternoon, April 19. Professor 1ST. W.
Walker presided over this meeting and extended a
hearty welcome to the visitors. The teams on the
affirmative were divided by lot into ten sections for
the first preliminary Thursday night, and the teams
on the negative were likewise divided into ten sec-
tions. From each of these sections one team was
chosen for a second preliminary on Friday morning,
April 20th. The schools which had teams making
the second preliminary ,on the affirmative were:
Waynes ville. Pleasant Garden, Gatesville, Calypso.
Wilmington, Benson, Mount Olive, -Graham, Ashe-
ville and Mount Airy. The schools having teams in
the second preliminary on the negative were:
Mount Olive, Troy, Charlotte, East Bend, Wendell,
Sylvan, Laurinburg, Pleasant Garden, East Durham
and Waynesville. The schools having teams in the
second preliminary, both affirmative and negative,
were: Waynesville, Pleasant Garden and Mount
Olive.
The Final Debate
The largest crowd which has ever witnessed a final
high school debate at the University gathered on the
occasion of this year's final debate on Friday night,
April 20th, the entire assemblage numbering 2000
persons and more than filling Memorial Hall. The
audience consisted of students and members of the
faculty of the University, citizens of Chapel Hill,
debaters, athletes, teachers, principals, superinten-
dents and the large number of other visitors who had
come from various parts of the State.
President E. K. Graham presided over the debate.
Mr. R. O. Everett, of Durham, a member of the class
of 1903, presented the Aycock Cup to the winning
team in behalf of all the University's inter-collegiate
debaters. Dean M. C. S. Noble, of the School of
Education, presented the cups and medals to win-
ners in the inter-scholastic track meet. The stage of
Memorial Hall had been appropriately decorated for
the occasion. The young debaters were given pro-
longed applause frequently throughout the debate.
President Graham commented on the growth of
the High School Debating Union and spoke of the
present scope and extent of its work. He declared
the high school debate to be the happiest occasion
which the University knows. He emphasized the
value of the debating system in developing good citi-
zenship and good sportsmanship. He referred to the
schools which had in past years won the Aycock Cup,
Pleasant Garden, Winston-Salem, Wilson and Gra-
ham.
The Speakers
Vinson Smathers was the first affirmative speaker
for Waynesville high school. After referring to the
changing social and political conditions he laid down
his three propositions: That the present system of
railroad ownership is wasteful in management; that
it is a source of corrupting political influence; that
the Interstate Commerce Commission can not correct
these evils. He believed Government ownership the
only solution.
The first speaker on the negative for Mount Olive
was Miss Gladys Andrews. She outlined her argu-
ment opposing Government ownership, declaring that
the whole scheme is undemocratic and un-American;
that Government ownership is unjust from a political
standpoint ; that it is not the proper function of the
Government; that private ownership is in accord
with American principles, and that Government
ownership would necessarily result in political cor-
ruption.
Roy Francis completed the affirmative argument.
He insisted that Government ownership and opera-
tion is practicable. He pointed out its success where
it had been tried and made clear how it would be
operated for the interest of all the people. He at-
tributed Germany's efficiency to its government
owned railways.
The last speaker for Mount Olive on the negative
was Miss Emma Lindsay. After reviewing the
points made by her colleague she argued that Gov-
ernment ownership was a most unwise policy from a
business standpoint. The experience that foreign
nations have had with it does not warrant its adoption
here, she declared.
The rejoinders on both sides were spirited and
forceful. The rejoinders, as well as the main
speeches, showed that the debaters had a mastery of
the subject and were speakers of composure.
The decision of the judges, Messrs. H. H. Wil-
liams, L. P. McGehee, Edwin Greenlaw, H. M.
Wagstaff and W. S. Bernard, stood 3 to 2 in favor of
the affirmative.
Mr. R. O. Everett presented the Aycock Cup to
the winning team in a fitting speech. He spoke of
the value of the Debating Union both to the indi-
vidual debaters and to the State as a whole. He
stated that the plaudits which went to the winners of
the cup were sufficient reward for those who did not
win it. Dean Noble, in happy fashion, presented the
c\ips and medals to winners in the inter-scholastic
track meet. Immediately after the debate a recep-
tion was tendered all visitors in the Library. This

GROUP OF DEBATERS, TEACHERS AND ATHLETES ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL WEEK AT THE UNIVERSITY
was the closing exercise in the program of entertain-
ment.
Community Co-operation
In carrying through to a successful conclusion
the final contest praise should he given to the spirit
of co-operation found everywhere. The homes of
Chapel Hill entertained the 150 girls and ladies who
came for the debate, members of the faculty acted as
judges in the preliminaries and in the final debate,
and students acted as officers in the preliminaries.
They entertained the men and boys in the dormi-
tories and co-operated heartily in giving the visitors
a good time. The teachers and a number of students
of the Chapel Hill graded school gave valuable help
in serving at the reception and in decorating the
stage of Memorial Hall. The Swain Hall manage-
ment contributed in very satisfactory fashion the
bill of fare at the reception. The baseball manage-
ment provided complimentary tickets for the game
between the Carolina Eeserves and the Raleigh
Highs. The Y. M. C. A. gave its building and the
time and efforts of its officers to the Debating Union.
Success of the Debating Union
Since its organization in 1913, the High School
Debating Union has met with a remarkable success
and growth.
It has grown and has carried with it
beneficial results for the individual debater, his
school, his community and the University.
In 1913, 360 debaters representing 90 schools in
to counties took part in the contest. In 1914, 600
debaters participated, representing 150 schools in 64
counties. In 1915, 1000 debaters participated, rep-
resenting 250 schools in 91 counties. In 1916, 1300

BASEBALL SEASON IS SUCCESSFUL
Annual Game Between Virginia and Carolina at Greensboro Won by Tar Heels 3 to 2—
Review of Season
On Monday, April 24, Carolina finished up a suc-
cessful baseball season in a rather bad manner, losing
to Georgia 10 to 1 in a poor exhibition of base ball.
Some figures worked up by the Tar II eel show that
the Varsity did better this year than they have done
in the past four years, and in spite of slumps played
consistent base hall. The batting average is quoted
below, together with the pitchers' records. The num-
erals in parenthesis indicate the number of games in
which the players participated :

Barnes has more home runs to his credit than any
other man. In fact no one else is in his class, in
spite of the inviting nearness of the left field fence.
A brief review of the season shows the details of
the Varsity's edge on its opponents in runs. The
opening game with Bingham was won by a close
margin and bore the deserving name of a ball game.
We treated Haverford and West Virginia Wesleyan
worse, both contests being swatfests for the local
boys, Barnes, Bennett, and Weeks each ringing up
a home run. The next game with Davidson opened
the contest for the State championship, and the White
and Blue got off to a running start, trimming the
Presbyterians 8 to 4. We were put back a notch
the next game, however, when Wake Forest took a
ten-frame classic from Coach Heam's men fi to 5.
The tie was broken when Duncan scored from third
on ( 'ox's sacrifice flv.
Northern Trip
On the trip up through Virginia, Powell's benders
were scarcely touched by the Washington and Lee
willows, and Carolina batted Pierroti's delivery for
eight hits and two runs. The Virginians were let
down with three safe bingles.
On their return home, the Tar Heels found Yale
waiting. The game was prevented from going into
extra innings by Munson, who drove one of Cole-
man's straight ones over the fence, scoring himself
and one of his teammates. The Elis had to shed
their coats to win, and the game was pronounced to
be one of the best of the season.
The following day found Wofford on the scene.
The boys from the Palmetto State suffered a shutout
at our hands, while we piled up three runs in a
rather sleepy game, Barnes' home run being the clos-
est thing to a feature.
Virginia Defeated 3 — 2
Owing to the rather sinister appearance of nation-
al affairs, only one game was played with Virginia.
On the Sa turday of Junior Week, Powell went on the
mi mnd for Carolina at Greensboro, and for eight inn-
ings had the Orange and Blue guessing. He was
taken out in the ninth to allow a pinch hitter to wield
the willow. The Virginians had a one run lead on
us at the beginning of the ninth, but the score was
tied in that inning when Stewart doubled and was
sent across the plate when Younce, batting for Herty,
smashed a single into center field. In the tenth Jen-
nette doubled, his fourth hit of the day, and came
home on Coleman's steamer to center. Coleman
finished the game on the mound, and technically the
victory belongs to him, but there is honor enough for
both.
Southern Trip
From Greensboro our warrior band went on down
south to take the measure of some of our neighbors.
We took a fast game from Davidson, 1 to 0, Cole-
man and Lawson opposing each other in a game
characterized by neat fielding and little hitting.
At Spartanburg we were entertained by Wofford,
whom we trimmed to the tune of 6 to 1. The same

pitchers who worked on Emerson Field, Kinlaw and
Lawton. faced each other again, and the same man
won.
At Atlanta we were treated badly by the Crackers
who took one game from Llewellyn 8 to 2, and the
second from Powell, 4 to 2. In neither could the
Tar Heels find Parks or Westbrook for enough hits
to win, and the home team had everything their own
way.
On our way back we stopped at Columbia long
enough to take a very one-sided contest from South
Carolina. Coleman and Folger had a picnic with
the stick, while almost every Tar Heel got at least
two hits. One ball Folger knocked over the fence
never has been found.
The last two games of the season were played with
Georgia, We took the first, Powell pitching, 5 to 0,
completely outclassing the visitors. The changeable-
ness of baseball was shown the next day, however,
when we lost the worst played game of the year
10 to 1.
E. K. BENNETT ELECTED CAPTAIN
The well and favorably known ''Wop" Bennett
has been elected to pilot the Carolina nine for 1917-
18. Bennett is one of the best catchers in college
basehall and a glance at his healthy average speaks
convincingly of his success with the stick. "Wop"
is a sure, steady player who suffers no slumps. He's
right there in the pinches and on his toes from the
time he first buckles his shin guards until the last
ball whizzes over in the ninth. — Tar Heel.
CLASS OF 1902 PLANS FOR A BIG 15-YEAR REUNION
The class of 1902 which holds its third reunion at
the approaching commencement is planning to cele-
brate the fifteenth anniversary of its graduation in
fitting stylo. This reunion is scheduled to begin on
Monday evening. June 4th, and each member is urged
to be on the "Hill" at that time. The committee
which is making arrangements for the reunion fur-
nishes the Review with the following information of
much interest to all members of the class:
The class of 1902 will hold its fifteen-year re-
union on Tuesday, June 5th, of commencement. Ar-
rangements have been made to take care of the class,
during its stay at Chapel Hill, at the old South
Building.
It was the intention of the committee in charge of
the reunion to issue a bulletin containing informa-
tion about each member of the class, which was to be
published just prior to the reunion, but for various
reasons this plan had to be given up. The names of
the members of the class with their occupations and
addresses are set out below.
Every classmate is itrged to be present at the re-
union and is further asked to call the attention of any
other member of the class whom he may meet to the
event and request his presence. Every member is
also requested to give information in regard to any

TO MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1897:
The reunion committee of the class of 1897 lias
issued through A. T. Allen, chairman, of Salisbury,
a letter to all members of the class with reference to
the big 20-year reunion which this class will hold at
the approaching commencement. This letter fol-
lows:
To the Fellow Members of the Class of 1897:
We, the undersigned, have been appointed by the
Central Alumni Committee at Chapel Hill for the
purpose of preparing for the reunion of the class of
1897, its twentieth anniversary.
This reunion is to be held at Chapel Hill on June
5th and after considerable correspondence we have
come to the conclusion to undertake the three fol-
lowing things :
Fikst : During the twenty minutes which we have
at our disposal in Gerrard Hall on June 5th, to ask
D. B. Smith to speak for ten minutes; some of the
others to make short talks ; and for some one to read
a short account of our fellow members who have
passed away. Nobody, who has anything to say, will
be denied the privilege, save as the time at our dis-
posal denies him.
Second: Following the example set by a num-
ber of classes we thought it wise to try to make as
large a contribution as possible to the Alumni Loy-
alty Fund. Every member of the class is strongly
urged to contribute a small amount or any amount
that he may feel disposed to give to this fund before
the 5th of June. Mr. E. R. Rankin at Chapel Hill
will receive this contribution and credit it to our class
or, if you prefer, any member of this committee will
receive the funds and forward them to Chapel Hill.
Would it not be possible for us to add five hundred
($500) or a thousand dollars ($1,000) to this fund?
Third: We are planning to hold a supper or a
smoker on the evening of June 5th at some hotel in
Chapel Hill and at this meeting everybody will have
a chance to dispense with his pent eloquence.
Please write to some member of the committee and
notify him whether you can attend or whether you
w T ill join with us in contributing to this Alumni
Fund.
Come to Chapel Hill and let us celebrate old times
for a day !

THE UNIVERSITY IN LETTERS
Despite the fact that it appears at a time when all
men's minds are occupied by thoughts of the crisis
that confronts America, the April issue of Studies in
Philology is attracting wide attention among schol-
ars 1 >ecause of its unique character and the high qual-
ity of the material which it contains. One well-
known scholar has written that in his opinion it is
the greatest number that has ever appeared in an
American university series. Other illustrations
might be given to show that the high expectations
aroused by the preliminary announcements are thor-
oughly substantiated now that the completed book
is in our hands. What is more to the point is the
fact that the attractive little circular sent out by the
editor a few weeks ago has already borne fruit in the
shape of a considerable amount of money, so that up
to the present writing about one-third of the total
cost of this issue has been met by voluntary contri-
butions by men not in any way connected with the
University. More money will certainly be received
from these sources within the next few weeks, ami it
is also hoped that Carolina men, recognizing the
great value of this work as a means of increasing
the prestige of the University throughout the world
of scholarship, will see the necessity of still further re-
lieving the pressure upon the limited resources of
the journal.
This is not the place for an extended review of
the contents of this volume of nearly two hundred
pages, hut some idea of the book can be given in a
few words. In his Foreword, the editor, Professor
Greenlaw, calls attention to the fact that these ten
essays, dealing with a single great period in English
thought and letters, form a concrete example of col-
laborative scholarship which gives "a totality of ef-
fect that would have been impossible had they ap-
peared in a number of periodicals scattered through
a dozen months." He cites as illustration of the
principle that inspired the genesis and the working-
out of the volume, the results gained by collaboration
in the fields of science, history, and medical research.
The point of view is well stated in his concluding
paragraph :
''That radical changes in American education are
at hand is beyond question. To think that the issue
lies between compulsory Greek and compulsory vo-
cational training is to start another profitless con-
troversy between the Ancients and the Moderns and
to fall into the blindest of errors. But that advanced
scholarship, in whatever field, must emerge from its
isolation and through both individual and co-opera-
tive effort contribute not alone to learned journals
for initiates in the mystery but also to the life of
our common humanity is as certain as that America
must prepare to take her part in world affairs. In the
new age now dawning in America, impulses that en-
riched the renaissance may once more become active.
To foster such impulses is a duty of scholarship now
as it was in the humanistic revival of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries."
Thus, the volume is unique not only in the fact
that never before in the history of American phi-
lological scholarship has a single issvie of a learned
journal contained contributions from so many schol-
ars of the highest distinction in a special field hut
also in its illustration of an idea of collaboration in
this field of research that is capable of further and
even more fruitful development. The first part of
the book is devoted to the Elizabethan Drama. Mr.
W. J. Lawrence, of Dublin, who is widely known for
his studies of the Elizabethan theatre, makes his first
American contribution in an interesting article about
a young Irishman who came to London when Shakes-
peare, Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher were at the
height of their powers, and wrote a lively comedy of
manners which held the stage for a generation. Pro
fessor Adams, of Cornell, contributes a paper on the
famous Blackfriars, with three illustrations, and
Professor Graves, of Trinity, makes further contri-
hutions to our knowledge of the presentation of plays
in the Elizabethan period. This section of the vol-
ume is completed by a paper on Hamlet by Profes-
sor Tucker Brooke, of Yale, and by one on Shakes-
peare's methods of composition by Professor Manly,
the distinguished head of the department of English
at the University of Chicago.
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
211
The second section of the volume is devoted to es-
says on English poetry from Spenser to Milton, this
series being introduced by a lengthy and informing
study of certain aspects of Elizabethan poetic style
by Professor Alden of Leland Stanford. Professor
Aldcn has recently published a monumental edition
ot Shakespeare's Sonnets, and the present essay is in
a sense a by-product of his work in preparation of
that volume. Professor Fletcher, of Columbia, wide-
ly known for his work on Spenser and on Dante, has a
charming Spenser essay on "The Painter of Poets,"
which even non-specialists may read with pleasure.
Professor Osgood, of Princeton, editor of the Con-
cordance to Spenser, recently published by the Car-
negie Institution, has an essay on Spenser's indebted-
ness to Biblical literature of wisdom which opens up
a new source of renaissance thought. Our own Uni-
versity is represented by Professor Hanford's inter-
esting study of the dramatic element in Paradise
Lost and by Professor Greenlaw's study of Milton's
philosophical idealism, a paper which will increase
his wide reputation as an Elizabethan scholar. At
the end of the volume is a valuable bibliography,
classified and with annotations, of recent literature
dealing with this field, about one hundred books and
monographs being included in this record of a year's
activities.
The book about birds, which we have all been in
search of for years, at last conies from the press of a
firm principally manned by North Carolinians and
from the pen of a North Carolinian. This is "The
Bird Study Book," by T. Gilbert Pearson (1899),
Secretary of the National Association of Audubon
Societies. Mr. Pearson has done extraordinarily ef-
fective work, and today is virtual head of the Audu-
bon societies in the United States. A prolific writer,
with a deep interest in his subject, he accomplishes
a great deal through the magazine articles, frequently
happily illustrated, which appear in such magazines
as The Craftsman, Country Life in America,, and The
Art World. The present volume (Doubleday, Page
& Co., New York, 1917), some two hundred and
fifty pages long, is excellently and fully illustrated
with drawings, photographs, and a colored frontis-
piece. Mr. Pearson is a close observer of the life of
birds in their haunts, and has studied them in all
parts of the United States and contiguous territory.
The chapter headings are indicative of this personal
interest: "First Acquaintance with the Birds,"
"The Life About the Nest," "Domestic Life of the
Birds," "The Migration of Birds," "The Birds in
Winter," "The Economic Value of Birds," "Civiliza-
tion's Effect on the Bird Supply," "The Traffic in
Feathers," "Bird Protection Laws and Their En-
forcement — How Laws are Made," "Bird Reserva-
tions," "Making Bird Sanctuaries," and "Teaching
Bird Study." This interesting and long-needed
book, as stated by the author, "has been written for
the consideration of that ever-increasing class of
Americans who are interested in acquiring a greater
familiarity with the habits and activities of wild
birds."

Company
Money for Education
Many young men and women secure money for
their education through life insurance. President
Garfield was a notable example. All through his
conspicuous career he paid frequent and high tribute
to the New York Life Policy on which he borrowed
money that put him through college and started him
on the road to success. New York Life policies in
addition to the usual provisions, provide free insur-
ance and a life income in advent of disability by
accident or disease; double indemnity for fatal travel
accidents.
Women written on the same basis as men with
same disability benefits. For particulars and rates

HER PARTNER SAVED THE DANCER
"If only it was not so hot," sighed the pretty girl as she tried to manipu-
late her handkerchief so as to absorb the perspiration without rubbing the
powder off her nose. '"If only it was not so hot the dancing would be lovely.
But I feel like a rag and look like a beet."
"You look — you look/' hesitated the youth, trying to summon courage
and poetic fancy at the same time, "like a dewy rose to me." Then embarrassed
at his gallant attempt, he hurried on wdth: "But I'll soon make you feel as
fresh and sweet as you look, for that big punch bowl is full of the finest drink
you ever tasted."
"My, you certainly think a lot of it,'" said the girl rather condescendingly.
"Are you sure it's all right for me to drink '. What is the name of this wonder-
ful elixir?"
"Of course it's all right for you to drink it. Mother gives it to the children
to keep them well during this warm weather, and they served it at the church
social the other night; but I shall not tell you the name, not until after you
have tasted it."
"Well, what do you think of it ?" the young man asked a couple of minutes
later.
"It's wonderful ! It tastes so good, and I'm beginning to feel like dancing
all night. Please tell me the name of it right away, please, and I'll give you the
next dance."
"That's a bargain. It's Pepsi-Cola, the heat killer!"
