CY  THOMPSON  SA  YS— 

To  Our  Policyholders: 

If  you  are  insured  under  a  New  England  Mutual  policy  issued  prior  to  April  6,  1917, 
you  are  privileged  to  engage  in  military  or  naval  service  of  the  United  States,  on  land  or  sea, 
in  any  part  of  the  world,  without  the  payment  of  an  extra  premium.  Any  conditions  in  the 
contract  to  the  contrary  have  been  waived  by  the  Company. 

If  you  are  not  fully  insured,  now  is  an  opportune  time  to  increase  your  protection.  You 
may  secure  a  more  liberal  contract  now  than  you  can  get  later — if  the  United  States  becomes 
seriously  involved  in  active  warfare  in  Europe.  Now,  as  never  before,  you  need  life  insur- 
ance for  the  protection  of  home  and  business. 

Today — as  always — delays  are  dangerous.  There  is  satisfaction  in  security.  We  want 
to  tell  you  about  the  superior  service  we  have  to  offer.    See  us  or  write  us  now.

Number  4 


OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


Of  the  year   1917,  President  Graham  speaks  as 

follows  in  the  opening  paragraphs  of  his  report  to  the 

„,„„ „   _,         Trustees  which  was  given  the 

THE  PRESIDENT'S  ,,.  T  „  r&, 

REPORT  public  on  January  15th  : 

In  April,  1917,  came  America's  entry  in  the  great 
world  war:  a  fact  of  supreme  significance  to  the  Uni- 
versity, as  to  every  other  vital  institution  in  the  Na- 
tion. Obviously  it  means  great  sacrifices ;  but  it 
means  also  rich  compensations  and  great  new  respon- 
sibilities. These  will  be,  if  adequately  met,  of  such 
importance  as  to  make  this  report  in  the  eyes  of  the 
future  historian  of  the  University  mark  the  begin- 
ning of  a  new  era  in  its  development  as  clearly  sepa- 
rated from  the  fifty  years  that  followed  the  Civil  War 
as  that  period  is  from  the  fifty  years  that  preceded. 

nan 

In  the  foregoing  words  the  great  war  is  placed 
first  by  the  President  among  the  causes  which  will 

make   1917   the   beginning  of   a 
THE  KENAN  ,       .        .      ,,    &  TT    .  &     .,    , 

PROFESSORSHIPS  ? fW  eha^T  ]m.  ^  University  s 

history.     And  rightly  so. 

But  the  year  would  have  marked  the  beginning  of 
a  new  chapter  for  other  reasons,  even  if  the  war  had 
not  involved  the  fortunes  of  the  University.  Of 
these  the  most  significant  was  the  receipt  of  the  Bing- 
ham bequest  providing  for  the  Kenan  professor- 
ships. This  gift,  made  for  the  specific  purpose  of 
strengthening  the  faculty,  through  supplementing  the 
maintenance  provided  by  the  State,  and  thus,  as 
stated  in  the  will,  in  the  high  and  ultimate  "interest  of 
the  education  of  the  youth  of  North  Carolina,"  puts 
it  within  the  power  of  the  University  to  mature,  on 
a  vastly  increased  scale,  the  ideals  which  have  hith- 
erto given  it  distinction  among  America's  leading  in- 
stitutions of  learning. 

"The  significance  of  the  bequest,"  to  quote  further 
from  President  Graham,  "in  the  development  of  the 
University,  and  indeed  in  the  development  of  the 
State,  has  not  yet  been  fully  realized.  It  means  that 
the  faculty  may  be  given  almost  double  its  present 
strength ;  it  means  that  the  extent  and  the  quality  of 
this  source  of  all  its  service  may  be  so  liberated  from 
past  restrictions  that  the  youth  of  the  State  will  have 
that  equality  of  opportunity,  judged  by  national 
standards,  that  equality  of  preparation  and  inspira- 
tion  assures. 


"No  conditions  are  attached  to  the  gift  except  that 
it  be  used  by  the  Trustees,  as  supplementary  to  State 
support,  for  the  purpose  of  strengthening  the  faculty 
through  establishing  Kenan  professorships.  In  this 
it  goes  simply  and  directly  to  the  heart  of  the  whole 
matter  of  educational  statesmanship.  Our  problem 
is  now  the  creative  one  of  wisely  using,  what  I  con- 
ceive to  be,  the  greatest  opportunity  for  University 
development  and  for  State  progress  that  has  come 
in  the  past  twenty-five  years." 

ODD 

In  its  April,  (1917)  issue,  The  Keview  reviewed 

the  legislation  passed  by  the  General  Assembly  as  it 

affected  the  University.     As  will  be 

ASSISTANCE  recalled>  the  State  Creased  the 
maintenance  from  $115,000  to 
$1G5,000  annually,  and,  through  a  bond  issue,  pro- 
vided a  building  fund  of  $100,000  annually  for  five 
years.  This,  as  we  said  at  the  time,  marked  a  new 
era  in  the  history  of  the  University,  and  is  cause 
number  three  why  the  University  historian  should 
start  a  new  chapter  for  1917.  President  Graham 
notes  this  fact  in  speaking  of  the  "Material  Equip- 
ment" of  the  University  and  gives  the  information 
that  the  new  power  plant  has  already  been  erected  out 
of  this  fund  and  that  plans  for  a  building  for  phy- 
sics and  allied  sciences  have  been  completed  and  are 
now  ready  for  submission  to  the  State  Building  Com- 
mittee.  Q  Q  n 

Every  one  has  known  for  years  that  the  salaries  of 

the  faculty  have  been   too  low.     As   a   result,   the 

University  has  had  to  give  up  some  of 

SALARIES0  its  men  t0  otlier  institutions  wnere 
the  remuneration  was  higher.  The  es- 
tablishment of  the  Kenan  professorships,  President 
Graham  thinks,  should  lead  to  a  change  in  this  im- 
portant particular.     On  this  point  he  says: 

Our  salary  scale  for  our  best  men  has  always  been 
recognized  as  too  low ;  but  with  the  rapid  increase  in 
the  cost  of  living,  and  with  the  advance  in  faculty 
salaries  elsewhere,  it  becomes  absolutely  necessary 
that  some  adjustment  be  made  between  the  quality 
of  the  service  rendered  and  the  return  received.  Good 
men  not  only  cannot  do  their  best  work  when  they  are 
harassed  by  unpaid  bills,  but  they  cannot  stay  and 
work  with  us  at  all.     Competition  with  other  institu-

THE  H.  C.  L. 


tions,  all  other  questions  aside,  requires  us  to  face 
the  fact  that  real  persons  of  power  are  worth  what 
they  cost — in  education  even  as  in  business  or  in  the 
other  professions — and  that  in  the  long  run  an  insti- 
tution makes  clear  what  it  thinks  good  men  are  worth 
by  what  it  pays  them. 

We  have  not  hitherto  been  in  a  position  to  carry 
out  these  principles  in  practice;  but  this  magnificent 
bequest  is  given  to  us  for  this  single  and  especial  pur- 
pose. The  problem  of  using  it  so  as  to  realize  its 
splendid  possibilities  is  immense,  involving  our  whole 
educational  policy  and  practice.  We  should  proceed 
to  its  solution  immediately,  in  order  to  make  as  rapid 
and  full  use  of  its  opportunities  as  possible;  but  we 
shall  need,  too,  a  large  and  wise  patience  for  a  task 
that  concerns  the  shaping  of  the  life  of  a  permanent 
institution.  It  is  one  that  will  tax  the  full  powers 
of  all  those  to  whom  its  development  is  entrusted. 

DDD 

The  report  has  something  to  say  about  the  H.  C.  L. 
—high  cost  of  living — and  the  activities  of  Swain 
Hall.  But  a  word  personal  is  in  or- 
der first.  Six  weeks  after  college 
opened  the  Editor  had  occasion  to  employ  a  student 
to  split  some  stove  wood.  The  youth  looked  pink 
■and  sturdy.  From  the  date  of  entering  he  had 
boarded  at  Swain  Hall  and  he  had  gone  from  144  to 
166  pounds.  And  "cussed"  the  fare,  too!  When 
asked  the  direct  question,  he  admitted  it ! 

In  spite  of  the  greatly  increased  price  of  food  prod- 
ucts, Swain  Hall  has  been  operated  during  the  pres- 
ent year  successfully  at  a  cost  of  $13.50  per  month 
per  person.  About  four  hundred  men  now  board 
at  the  college  commons.  To  provide  satisfactory 
board  at  this  price  is  a  distinct  achievement.  In 
three  of  the  large  eastern  universities  the  cost  of 
board  at  the  college  commons  for  1916-17  averaged 
$27  a  month,  and  the  average  deficit  for  the  year  was 
$14,000.  The  difference  between  debits  and  credits, 
in  the  management  of  Swain  Hall,  for  the  whole  of 
the  current  year  is  $1.75.

The  report  covers  many  other  interesting  particu- 
lars concerning  which  every  alumnus  should  inform 
himself  bv  securing  a  complete  copy.

man  s  building,  the  new  college  spir- 
it, military  training,  war  information  service  through 
the  Bureau  of  Extension,  and  other  phases  of  the 
University's  work  are  mentioned. 

But  possibly  the  most  thought-provoking  pai-a- 
graphs  are  the  following  which  relate  to  the  immedi- 
ate future : 

Attendance  Next  Year 

It  is  not  possible,  of  course,  to  say  with  any  confi- 
dence what  effect  the  war  will  have  on  the  attendance 


next  year.  Under  present  circumstances  it  seems 
that  both  the  more  reasonable  and  the  more  patriotic 
thing  for  men  under  the  draft  age  to  do  is  to  remain 
in  the  training  of  the  college  rather  than  go  to  the 
cantonments.  They  can  be  trained  intensively  in  col- 
lege in  military  work,  and  in  their  other  studies  as 
\v;ll.  and  the  Government  relieved  of  their  cave. 
There  will  be  many  noble  and  quick-spirited  boys 
who  will  feel  that  they  cannot  remain  in  college, 
under  any  circumstances,  but  must  show  their  will- 
ingness to  fight  by  immediately  going  to  camp ;  but 
in  the  main  so  reasonable  and  right  does  the  other 
view  appear  that  I  believe  the  college  enrollment 
for  next  year  will  not  in  its  net  results  be  greatly  re- 
duced. 

Stick  to  Building  Program 

Certainly  there  should  be  no  slackening  in  the 
building  program  here  and  in  the  other  educational 
institutions  in  the  State.  In  our  own  case  the  pro- 
jected improvements  are  for  needs  long  felt  through 
the  past  rather  than  for  future  growth.  Should  the 
war  last  five  years,  the  buildings  that  we  put  up  at 
the  rate  of  one  a  year  will  scarcely  be  adequate  for 
more  than  our  immediate  needs.  They  will  be  ab- 
solutely necessary  if  we  are  in  any  way  prepared  to 
lake  care  of  the  men  who  will  be  released  from  war 
service  and  who  will  take  up  college  work  again. 
Important  Decade  Before  Us 

Educationally  the  decade  that  follows  war  will  be, 
I  believe,  the  richest  and  most  fruitful  in  the  Nation's 
history.  Here  in  the  South,  and  in  North  Carolina 
especially,  we  need  to  keep  heroically  foremost  in  our 
public  policy  the  determination  not  to  slacken,  but 
rather  to  quicken  our  educational  activities  during 
the  war.  England  and  France  under  war  burdens 
incomparably  greater  than  ours  have  doubled  their 
educational  budgets.  It  is  clearly  the  inevitable  pol- 
icy of  wisdom. 

Our  handling  of  our  educational  affairs  in  the 
next  few  years  will  furnish  once  more  a  test  of  our 
statesmanship  and  give  once  more  a  clear  revelation 
of  what  relative  place  we  give  education  in  the  things 
worth  while  in  commonwealth  building.  The  neces- 
sity of  war  economies  will  show  what  we  value  in 
terms  of  what  we  nourish  and  of  what  we  sacrifice. 
If  schools  are  the  first  public-service  institutions 
closed  for  lack  of  fuel ;  if  their  terms  are  shortened 
as  first  steps  in  economy;  if  we  cease  building  them 
and  yet  build  other  things ;  if  they  cannot  compete 
with  business  for  the  services  of  the  few  good  men 
and  women  they  need — we  shall  know  in  concrete 
terms  that  in  time  of  storm  we  feel  that  they  are 
still  the  first  to  be  cast  overboard,  and  not,  as  we 
have  claimed  to  believe,  the  basis  of  the  democracy 
for  which  we  are  fighting.  No  sacrifice  is  too  great 
to  make  for  the  schools,  and  no  patriotism  is  more 
genuinely  productive  than  the  patriotism  whose  faith 
in  the  schools  is  so  deeply  rooted  that  no  public  dis-

traction  or  disaster  is  permitted  to  blight  them  as 
the  source  of  all  of  our  reconstructive  power. 
Confidence  in  the  University's  Future 

My  great  confidence  in  the  future  of  the  University 
is  based  on  the  extraordinary  need  for  its  present  and 
future  service,  and  on  the  spirit  of  intelligent  sympa- 
thy and  co-operation  that  have  been  shown  by  the  peo- 
ple in  the  State  at  large  and  by  the  faculty,  alumni, 
and  students.  The  days  ahead  of  us  grow  out  of 
the  days  that  are  gone ;  but  in  every  phase  of  human 
activity  that  a  university  touches  they  are  new  days 
with  a  new  and  a  broader  horizon.  They  will  test 
the  capacity  of  the  University  for  leadership,  not 
only  in  terms  of  energy,  efficiency,  learning,  and 
scholarship,  but  in  terms  of  renewed  vision,  sympa- 
thy, and  high  devotion.  Out  of  this  new  opportunity 
to  serve  in  a  great  and  difficult  way,  and  aided,  as  it 
wonderfully  has  been,  by  the  understanding  of  the 
State,  whose  highest  aspiration  it  seeks  to  express,  I 
believe  that  this  institution  will  come  into  a  new  and 
especial  greatness.

The  Review  is  in  receipt  of  the  class  of  1908  year

This  the  Tenth  Annual  Bulletin  of  the  Class  of

series  of  Bulletins  arranged  for  by  the  Class  at  the

that  it  may  serve  both  the  interests  of  the  Class  and 
more  especially  the  interests  of  the  University.  For 
both  of  these  purposes  to  be  more  satisfactorily  ful- 
filled, it  is  hoped  that  every  member  of  the  Class  will 
begin  making  arrangements  now  to  attend  the  Tenth

Back  in  the  last  days  of  the  University  Press, 
when  the  type  had  done  duty  some  ten  years  too 

THE  HIGH  SCHOOL      ^  ™{  ^  (OTi^%  «**>■ 

JOURNAL  drical)   bearings  of  the  ancient 

"Babcock"  had  worn  absolutely 
flat,  the  alumni  could  not  well  be  called  upon  to  join 
with  us  in  enthusiastic  approval  of  the  University's 
publications.  But  that  day  has  passed,  and  with  its 
passing  has  come  the  new  day  of  publications  worthy 
alike  for  the  high  quality  of  their  contents  and  at- 
tractive appearance.  The  High  School  Journal 
(the  first  number  of  which  has  recently  appeared) 
easily  comes  under  the  class  of  the  new  order  of  pub- 
lications. Attractive  in  appearance,  the  first  num- 
ber is  full  of  the  kind  of  material  which  the  Uni- 


versity should  furnish  the  secondary  schools  of  the 
State.  The  publication  is  so  distinctive  in  both  ap- 
pearance and  quality  that  every  alumnus  should  be- 
come a  subscriber,  or  at  least  secure  a  copy  to  see 
(and  thereby  be  able  to  tell  others)  how  worth  while 
the  publication  is. 

DDD 

The  Review  may  be  going  outside  its  legitimate 
field  when  it  undertakes  to  say  a  word  about  the  sal- 
„„.„„.„„,  aries  which  North  Carolina  teachers 
SALARIES  receiving.     But  lie  that  as  it  may, 

the  matter  is  too  important  not  to  be 
brought  to  the  thoughtful  attention  of  the  alumni. 

It  isn't  that  we  merely  wish  to  repeat  what  every 
one  knows — that  the  salaries  of  the  school  teachers 
are  shamelessly  inadequate.  Too  many  of  the 
alumni  who  are  teachers  know  that  only  too  well. 
But  it  is  to  challenge  alumni  as  educated  men  (many 
of  them  members  of  school  boards)  to  do  their  duty 
in  the  all-important  matter  of  keeping  the  schools 
going  under  the  highest  possible  sort  of  leadership. 
And  to  do  that  today  under  war-time  prices  and  in 
competition  with  the  government's  demand  for  young 
men  and  women  in  the  army  and  administrative  of- 
fices, means  increasing  materially  the  teacher's  wage. 
Otherwise  there  are  not  going  to  be  any  teachers  in 
many  a  school. 

For  fifty  years  North  Carolina  has  felt  the  blight 
of  ignorance  incident  to  the  eclipse  of  the  light  of 
learning  during  the  sixties.  The  experience  is  too 
tragic  to  be  repeated.  Keep  the  (well-paid)  teacher 
at  his  post.

Plans  for  the  rehabilitation  of  the  General  Alumni 

Association,  for  the  working  out  of  a  new  constitu- 

tion,  and  for  providing  machinery  for 

THE  TIME        *^e  election  of  officers,  etc.,  should  be 

gotten  under  under  way  soon  if  they 

are  to  be  in  final  form  at  commencement. 

The  power  of  the  alumni  is  too  great  and  too 
vital  to  the  University  to  remain  unutilized  for  the 
lack  of  proper  machinery  through  which  it  may  ex- 
press itself. 

Do  you  have  a  suggestion  to  make  to  the  executive 
committee  concerning  a  plan  of  organization  ?  Or  is 
there  some  special,  important  action  which  you  think 
the  alumni  should  take?  Or  is  there  any  matter 
which  you  think  should  receive  alumni  attention  ? 
If  so,  these  columns  are  open  to  you.  The  editors 
might  die  from  the  shock  which  the  receipt  of  an 
alumni  communication  for  The  Review  would  occa- 
sion (so  rarely  is  one  received)  but  they'll  take  the 
risk  !      Now's  the  time  to  try  it !

tees, January  22nd,  Drs.  F.  P.  Venable,  H.  V.  Wil- 
son, Edwin  Greenlaw,  W.  deB.  McNider,  and  Major 
William  Cain  were  appointed  Kenan  professors. 
They  were  nominated  through  ballot  by  the  faculty 
early  in  January,  the  nominations  being  confirmed 
by  President  Graham  and  the  Trustees.  The  salary 
which  the  new  professorships  carry  is  $3,500  per 
year. 

Concerning  the  appointment  and  the  appointees, 
the  following  prepared  statement  appeared  in  the 
State  papers  of  the  23rd : 

The  first  important  step  in  the  use  of  the  recent 
bequest  by  Mrs.  Robert  W.  Bingham  (Mary  Lily 
Kenan)  to  the  University  of  North  Carolina,  was 
taken  at  the  annual  mid-winter  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  yesterday  by  the  appointment  to  Kenan 
professorships  of  five  members  of  the  present  faculty. 
The  men  so  honored  are  Dr.  F.  P.  Venable,  Dr.  IT. 
V.  Wilson,  Maj.  William  Cain,  Dr.  Edwin  Green- 
law, and  Dr.  Wm.  deB.  MacNider.  The  choice  was 
made  on  the  recommendation  of  the  faculty,  en- 
dorsed by  the  president. 

Dr.  F.  P.  Venable 

Dr.  F.  P.  Venable,  Kenan  professor  of  Chemistry, 
is  widely  know  throughout  the  country  as  an  investi- 
gator, author  and  teacher.  He  has  been  president  of 
the  American  Chemical  Society  and  is  now  a  mem- 
ber of  the  board  of  six  chemists  chosen  by  Secretary 
Lane  to  investigate  chemical  problems  connected  with 
the  war.  He  is  the  author  of  numerous  books,  was 
for  fourteen  years  president  of  the  University,  and 
has  been  for  over  twenty  years  a  successful  lecturer 
and  teacher. 

Dr.  H.  V.  Wilson 

Dr.  H.  V.  Wilson  (Zoology)  has  been  for  many 
years  an  acknowledged  leader  in  the  University  fac- 
ulty, a  stimulating  teacher,  devoted  to  scientific  schol- 
arship in  all  of  its  relations,  an  untiring  and  produc- 
tive investigator,  highly  honored  by  his  fellow  schol- 
ars in  the  nation. 

Maj.   William   Cain 

Maj.  William  Cain  (Mathematics)  for  twenty- 
eight  years  professor  of  Mathematics  and  head  of  the 
department,  during  which  time  he  has,  as  a  teach- 
er, investigator  and  author,  won  wide  recognition  in 
the  general  field  of  mathematics,  and  in  his  special 
field  where  his  work  is  uniquely  authoritative. 
Dr.  Edwin  Greenlaw 

Dr.  Edwin  Greenlaw  (English  Literature).  Dr. 
Greenlaw  has  been  a  member  of  the  faculty  for  only 


four  years,  but  during  this  comparatively  brief  time 
he  has  made  notable  contributions  to  the  develop- 
ment of  the  University  through  a  vigorous,  scholarly 
and  continuing  interest  in  every  side  of  its  life:  as 
administrative  head-  of  the  English  department,  as 
editor  of  Studies  in  Philology,  as  an  interested  and 
inspiring  teacher,  as  a  sympathetic  interpreter  of 
the  University  spirit  in  contemporary  affairs. 
Dr.  William  deB.  MacNider 

Dr.  Wm.  deB.  MacNider  (Pharmacology)  is  a 
representative  of  the  younger  faculty  group  recog- 
nized by  his  colleagues  for  his  completely  devoted 
and  inspiring  service  to  his  profession.  As  an  origi- 
nal and  unremitting  investigator  he  has  achieved 
distinguished  recognition  in  the  country  at  large  as 
one  of  the  most  productive  men  in  his  field. 


SALARY   INCREASE  PROVIDED 

Through  a  further  action  of  the  Trustees  an  in- 
crease in  the  salaries  of  all  members  of  the  faculty 
having  the  rank  of  instructors,  assistant  and  asso- 
ciate professors  and  professors,  was  authorized,  the 
increase  in  every  instance  approximating  ten  per 
cent  of  the  salary  formerly  received. 


SUMMER  CAMP  AT  ASHEVILLE 

Another  announcement  of  general  interest  was  the 
authorization  by  the  board  of  the  establishment  of  a 
summer  University  military  training  camp  at  Ashe- 
ville,  primarily  for  young  men  between  the  ages  of 
1G  and  20.  This  camp  will  cover  the  period  from 
the  middle  of  June  to  August  1.  This  camp,  it  is 
believed,  will  serve  a  wide  and  especially  useful  pur- 
pose under  present  circumstances  in  furnishing  val- 
uable military  and  physical  training.  Through  the 
generosity  of  Col.  Robert  Bingham  the  plant  of 
the  Bingham  School  has  been  placed  at  the  disposal 
of  the  camp.  Capt.  J.  Stuart  Allen  and  Professor 
T.  F.  Hickerson  (civil  engineering),  assisted  by  Mr. 
Bingham  McKee  and  Mr.  W.  A.  Blount  will  be 
in  charge  of  the  work. 

The  board  also  received  the  annual  report  of  the 
president  and  detailed  reports  of  the  deans  and  other 
officers  of  the  University  of  the  work  for  the  year. 
These  set  forth  "gratifying  conditions  in  practically 
every  aspect  of  the  institution's  life."  The  reac- 
tions of  the  University  to  the  war  are  outlined  in  re- 
lation to  active  war  service  of  alumni,  faculty  and 
students . 


THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 
CAROLINA  AND  THE  GREAT  WAR 


91 


Eight  Hundred  Alumni  and  Students  Have  Entered  the  Service  and  the  Campus 

Has  Been  Put  on  a  Military  Basis 


The  following  facts  taken  from  the  President's  re- 
port concerning  Carolina's  participation  in  the  great 
war  will  challenge  the  interest  of  every  reader  of 
The  Review: 

Immediately  after  the  declaration  of  war  volun- 
tary military  drill  was  begun  by  about  500  of  the 
students  under  faculty  direction,  and  with  the  special 
assistance  of  Captain  Hugh  Broadhurst,  U.  S.  A., 
and  Captain  L.  P.  McLendon,  both  University 
alumni.  This  work  was  continued  until  the  close  of 
the  college  year. 

A  large  number  of  the  students  volunteered  during 
these  early  months  in  various  branches  of  the  service, 
and  approximately  200  students  and  young  alumni 
entered  the  first  reserve  officers'  training  camp  at 
Fort  Oglethorpe.  In  the  second  camp  there  were 
about  115   Carolina  men. 

Carolina  Men  in  Service 

By  the  opening  of  the  new  college  year  our  records 
showed  over  800  Carolina  men  in  active  service.  The 
list  that  follows  here,  showing  the  distribution  of 
these  men,  is  interesting  though  incomplete:  Briga- 
dier General,  2 ;  Colonel,  3 ;  Lieutenant  Colonel,  3 ; 
Major,  9  ;  Captain,  45  ;  First  Lieutenant,  66 ;  Second 
Lieutenant,  242.  Medical  Corps:  Colonel,  1;  Ma- 
jor, 8;  Captain,  9;  First  Lieutenant,  76.  Naval  Di- 
vision, 19;  Lieutenant  Commander,  4;  Paymaster, 
1;  Lieutenant,  4;  Lieutenant,  Junior  Grade,  1;  En- 
sign,  3;  Chaplain,  2;  Midshipman,  1;  Aviation,  31; 
Wireless,  2;  Hospital,  14;  Navy,  13;  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
work,  5 ;  Linguist,  1 ;  Privates  and  Noncommission- 
ed Officers,  125. 

Faculty  in  Service 

The  following  members  of  the  faculty  also  enlisted : 
Dr.  Joseph  H.  Pratt,  Professor  of  Economic  Geology, 
Major  of  Engineers;  Professor  P.  H.  Winston,  Pro- 
fessor of  Law,  Major,  Judge  Advocate  General's 
Corps;  T.  J.  Campbell,  Director  of  Athletics,  Cap- 
tain ;  Professor  R.  L.  James,  Assistant  Professor  of 
Mathematics,  Lieutenant ;  Dr.  J.  H.  Johnston,  As- 
sistant Professor  of  Education,  Lieutenant;  H.  R. 
Totten,  Instructor  in  Botany,  Lieutenant ;  V.  A. 
Coulter,  Instructor  in  Chemistry,  Lieutenant ;  Dr. 
Oliver  Towles,  Assistant  Professor  of  Romance  Lan- 
guages, Sergeant ;  Dr.  C.  M.  Keyes,  Instructor  in 
Latin,  Private;  and  Frank  P.  Graham,  Instructor  in 
History,  Corporal,  U.  S.  Marines. 

New  College  Spirit 

The  number  of  students  who  matriculated  during 
1917  now  engaged  in  service  is  approximately  200. 


About  20  per  cent  of  each  group  of  faculty,  students, 
and  alumni  are  enlisted  in  various  branches  of  active 
war  service.  The  response  was  immediate,  unre- 
served, and  fully  in  accord  with  those  fine  traditions 
that  make  rarely  precious  earlier  days  in  the  Uni- 
versity's history.  No  one  except  a  college  officer  in 
intimate  touch  with  the  life  of  the  students  can  fully 
know  just  how  unaffected  and  splendid  the  response 
w^s.  The  war  has  revealed  what  pi  rhaps  needed  no 
demonstration — that  American  college  students  are 
animated  by  a  more  healthfully  serious  purpose  than 
they  have,  in  the  general  thought,  been  credited  with. 
Military  Training  Inaugurated 

In  spite  of  the  loss  from  enlistments,  the  opening 
in  September  showed  no  great  net  loss  in  the  number 
of  students.  The  total  of  those  registered  for  credit 
courses  was  1,113.  The  total  number  of  freshmen 
was  323. 

From  every  point  of  view  it  appeared  advisable 
to  add  military  courses  to  the  curriculum,  and  to 
put  the  work  on  an  adequate  University  basis.  No 
officers  nor  equipment  could  be  secured  from  the 
government.  We  were  able,  however,  by  the  open- 
ing of  the  fall  term  to  begin  the  military  instruction 
with  a  thoroughly  competent  faculty,  a  well-adjusted 
schedule,  and  a  fairly  satisfactory  equipment. 

The  faculty  consists  of  Captain  J.  Stuart  Allen 
(McGill  University,  Canada),  who,  as  a  member  of 
Princess  Patricia's  Canadian  Light  Infantry,  has  had 
unusual  experience  in  modern  military  science;  Jona- 
than Leonard  (A.M.  Harvard,  '97),  Lieutenant,  Har- 
vard R.  O.  T.  C;  and  J.  V.  Whitfield  (U.  N.  C, 
1915),  for  two  years  commandant  at  Horner's  Mili- 
tary School. 

The  military  work  is  voluntary,  but  almost  all 
undergraduates,  except  those  who  have  an  extraor- 
dinary amount  of  laboratory  work,  or  self-help  work, 
or  who  are  physically  disqualified,  take  it.  Fiva 
hundred  and  sixty  men  have  enrolled  in  the  course. 
Eight  members  of  the  faculty  also  take  it  on  the 
same  basis  as  the  students.  Twelve  hours  a  week 
are  given  to  it  and  five  hours  of  college  credit  allowed. 
In  order  to  provide  the  time  in  what  already  ap- 
peared to  be  a  crowded  schedule,  we  now  begin  the 
college  day  at  8  a.  m.,  the  first  period  for  all  the 
six  days  being  given  to  military  work,  and  two  hours 
every  other  day  from  4  to  6  p.  m.  This  additional 
work  gives  a  full  day  from  8  a.  m.  to  6  p.  m.  for  prac- 
tically all  undergraduates.  In  order  to  get  the  time 
for  the  drill  and  the  ground  space  necessary,  and  to 
enable  the  students  to  concentrate  their  interest  on 
i he  military  training,  the  major  athletic  schedules 
were  canceled.

THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 


Value  of  Training 

It  is  high  praise  for  the  genuine  worth  of  the  mili- 
tary instruction  and  the  spirit  in  which  it  has  been 
conducted  to  be  able  to  say  that  the  college  community 
has  apparently  not  missed  the  previously  absorbing 
interest  of  intercollegiate  football. 

The  course  covered  from  September  15  to  Decem- 
ber 20  included:  (1)  close-order  drill,  (2)  open-or- 
der drill,  (3)  manual  of  arms,  (4)  maneuvers  of  at- 
tack by  day  and  night,  (5)  construction  of  trenches, 
wire  obstacles,  and  shelters.  The  lectures  dealt  with 
these  and  other  essentials  of  modern  warfare. 
Equipment    Provided 

The  ground  needed  for  trench  construction  was 
generously  provided  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Or- 
der of  Gimghouls,  an  admirably  adapted  plat  adja- 
cent to  Piney  Prospect.  A  rifle  range  has  also  been 
provided  through  the  kindness  of  Mr.  C.  L.  Lindsay. 


Two  hundred  and  fifty  rifles  suitable  for  drill,  gen- 
erously donated  by  Mr.  Julius  Cone,  of  Greensboro, 
have  been  of  great  service;  and  fifty  modem  rifles 
for  use  in  target  practice  were  given  us  by  another 
benefactor.  Uniforms  and  other  equipment  was 
purchased  by  the  students. 

Future  Plans 

In  maturing  our  plans  for  putting  military  work 
on  a  permanent  basis  we  shall  have  the  co-operation  of 
(he  government  as  soon  as  it  is  in  a  position  to  give 
assistance.  For  the  immediate  future  it  is  clear  that 
we  should  make  our  military  work  as  good  and  as 
thorough  as  possible. 

It  seems  further  clear,  in  this  connection,  that  phy 
sical  training  for  all  students  should  be  far  more  se- 
riously considered  in  our  educational  plan  than  it 
has  been  hitherto ;  and  that  it  should  be  put  on  a 
basis  equal   in  importance  to  other  departments. 


BUREAU  OF  EXTENSION  PUBLICATIONS 


Three  Important  Bulletins  and  Ten  War  Leaflets  Have  Been  Issued 


The  Bureau  of  Extension  has  issued  throughout 
the  fall  thirteen  special  publications  and  now  has 
three  others  in  press. 

Public   Discussion   and    Debate 

The  first  Bulletin  (Extension  Series  No.  22),  en- 
titled Public  Discussion  and  Debate,  is  a  complete 
revision  of  Extension  Bulletin  No.  6.  It  is  in- 
tended to  be  used  as  a  handbook  on  debate  for  all  the 
schools  and  clubs  of  the  State  and  contains  all  the  in- 
formation essential  to  the  organization  and  conduct 
of  literary  societies.  In  the  new  edition  briefs  and 
material  on  the  questions  of  the  day  have  replaced 
older  queries,  and  for  the  benefit  of  such  members 
of  the  societies  as  do  not  debate,  a  chapter  of 
programs  for  special  exercises  has  been  provided. 
Emphasis  has  again  been  placed  on  North  Carolina 
and  county  problems,  and  the  Bulletin  in  this  re- 
spect will  be  of  great  value  to  societies  or  clubs  study- 
ing North  Carolina  social  and  economic  conditions. 
North  Carolina  Club  Year  Book,  1916-17 

The  North  Carolina  Club  Year  Book,  1016-17,  is 
the  title  of  the  second  Bulletin  (Extension  series  No. 
23).  This  booklet  of  140  pages  contains  the  studies 
presented  before  the  North  Carolina  Club  of  the  Uni- 
versity during  1916-17  prepared  in  the  laboratory  of 
the  departmevt  of  Rural  Economics  and  Sociology 
under  Professor  E.  C.  Branson.  Like  its  predeces- 
sor of  1915-16,  it  deals  intimately  with  social  and 
economic  questions  in  North  Carolina.  No  student 
of  North  Carolina  present  day  life  can  afford  to  be 


without  it  as  the  information  contained  in  it  cannot 
possibly  be  secured  elsewhere. 

Debaters'   Handbook    for    1918 

Compulsory  Arbitration  of  Industrial  Disputes 
(Extension  series  No.  26),  is  the  title  of  the  third 
Bulletin.  It  is  the  handbook — prepared  by  Secre- 
tary E.  R.  Rankin,  of  the  High  School  Debating 
Union,  for  the  annual  contest  of  the  Union  in  April, 
1918.  The  question  of  compulsory  arbitration  of 
industrial  disputes  is  set  forth  in  eighty-four  pages, 
with  brief,  bibliography,  and  other  essential  matter. 
Two  hundred  additional  copies  of  the  Bulletin  were 
printed  upon  request  of  a  former  Carolina  man  for 
use  in  the  high  school  debating  union  of  Alabama. 
Other    Bulletins    in    Press 

Three  other  bulletins  now  in  press  which  will  be 
mailed  in  February  are:  Local  Study  Clubs  (No. 
24),  Correspondence  Courses  and  Lectures  (No.  251, 
and  Declamation  Handbook  (No.  27),  for  use  in 
the  schools  of  the  State. 

Copies  of  these  publications  can  be  secured  by 
North  Carolinians  and  alumni  upon  application  to 
the  Bureau  of  Extension.  A  charge  of  twenty-five 
cents  per  copy  is  made  if  they  are  supplied  to  others 
outside  the  State. 

Extension    Leaflets 

The  Bureau  has  devoted  almost  the  entire  space  of 
the  University  News  Letter  (beginning  with  the  issue 
of  November  7)  to  information  concerning  the  war. 
This  information  has  been  supplemented  by  the  pub-

ALUMNI   IN   ALASKA 


Two  alumni  of  the  University  represent  Carolina 
in  the  Alaskan  stretches.  Jas.  R.  Craven,  of  the 
class  of  1912,  is  assistant  observer  for  the  U.  S. 
Weather  Bureau,  at  Juneau,  Alaska,  where  he  has 
been  stationed  for  the  past  two  years.  Rev.  Fred  B. 
Drane,  also  of  the  class  of  1912  and  formerly  presi- 
dent of  this  class,  is  an  Episcopal  missionary  located 
at  Nenana,  Alaska.  He  writes  that  "I  am  still  in 
charge  of  the  Tanana  Valley  Mission  and  have  some 
"i00  miles  of  valley  to  cover.  My  travels  for  the 
past  fall  carried  me  over  a  thousand  miles,  mostly 
with  dog  teams,  and  I  have  slept  out  at  50  below 
zero. 

"If  mention  has  not  been  made  of  my  brother,  Dr. 


Robert  Drane,  of  the  class  of  1910,  you  might  note 
that  when  last  heard  from  he  was  serving  as  surgeon 
for  the  10th  Lancashire  Regiment,  a  famous  English 
infantry  regiment  which  has  won  more  Victoria 
crosses  than  any  other  regiment.  He  is  a  lieutenant 
in  the  U.  S.  Medical  Reserve  Corps,  however." 


29  OFFICERS  PROMOTED. 

Twenty-nine  alumni  of  the  University,  members  of 
the  Officers  Reserve  Corps  stationed  with  the  81st 
Division  at  Camp  Jackson,  Columbia,  S.  G,  re- 
ceived promotions  recently.  Silas  U.  McBee,  of 
Memphis,  Tenn.,  was  promoted  from  captain  to 
major  in  the  field  artillery  department.  Donald  F. 
Ray,  of  Fayetteville,  was  promoted  from  1st  lieuten- 
ant to  captain  in  the  field  artillery  department. 

The  following  men  were  promoted  from  second 
lieutenancies  to  first  lii-utenancies  in  field  artillery:

Turin-fill  was  promoted  from  2nd  lieutenant  to  1st 
lieutenant  in  cavalry. 


WHAT  DO  YOU  THINK  OF  THIS? 
A  campus  suggestion  has  been  made  to  the  effect 
that  the  1918  Commencement  should  be  made  as 
memorable  for  the  University  as  is  the  existing 
crisis  for  the  nation.  The  details  of  the  suggestion 
are  as  follows: 

1.  The  University  Battalion  should  not  be  dis- 
banded until  after  Commencement,  and  should  take 
part    in   the   exercises. 

2.  Every  class  reunion  should  be  unusually  com- 
plete. 

3.  Every  class  not  having  a  reunion  should  have 
present  at  least  one  representative  from  some  branch 
of  the  service. 

4.  Every  permanent  student  organization  should 
have  a  reunion,  in  some  cases  an  initiation,  at  Com- 
mencement time. 

5.  Shorten  the  examination  period  one  week, 
thereby  making  the  final  day  of  Commencement  May 
29  instead  of  June  5.  This  would  not  throw  addi- 
tional expense  on  the  Batallion  as  it  will  have  to  re- 
main until  the  29th  unless  the  examination  period  is 
shortened.

THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 


MAJOR  HENRY  A.  LONDON  DEAD 

Major  Henry  Armand  London,  A.  B.  1865,  de- 
voted alumnus,  loyal  friend  and  staunch  supporter  of 
the  University,  a  member  of  the  board  of  trustees, 
died  January  20th  at  his  home  in  Pittsboro.  Major 
London  was  71  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
He  had  been  closely  identified  with  the  University 
all  through  his  life,  and  had  rendered  to  his  Alma 
Mater  effective  and  most  faithful  service. 

The  Trustees  of  the  University,  in  meeting  at  Ral- 
eigh on  January  20th,  adopted  a  resolution  offered 
by  Perrin  Busbee,  of  Raleigh,  and  seconded  by  W. 
N.  Everett,  of  Rockingham,  to  erect  a  tablet  in  Me- 
morial Hall  honoring  the  memory  of  Major  London. 
The  resolution  follows: 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  have 
learned  with  deep  sorrow  of  the  death  of  Henry  Ar- 
mand London,  of  Pittsboro,  North  Carolina,  and  the 
Confederacy  of  the  old  south.  Henry  London  was 
a  member  of  this  body  and  had  served  on  the  Board 
of  Trustees  for  many  years.  His  death  occurred 
early  last  Sunday  morning.  Punctual  and  efficient 
as  a  trustee,  devoted  and  loyal  as  an  alumnus,  dili- 
gent and  learned  as  a  lawyer,  fearless  and  trenchant 
as  an  editor,  zealous  and  unhesitating  as  a  soldier 
and  patriot,  devout  and  beneficent  as  a  churchman, 
affectionate  and  indulgent  as  a  parent,  patriotic  and 
unassuming  as  a  publicist — he  has  entered  into  a 
well-earned  rest  from  his  labors  in  an  active  and  use- 
ful life  and  has  left  behind  a  heritage  of  love  and 
affection  and  a  spotless  character  to  his  family,  and 
a  memory  of  honor  and  faithful  service  to  his  ac- 
quaintances in  this  life  and  to  his  associates  upon 
this  board. 

Resolved,  that  a  tablet  to  his  memory  be  ordered 
placed  upon  the  walls  of  Memorial  Hall  in  token  of 
the  loving  affection  in  which  he  was  held  by  this 
board  and  the  alumni  of  the  University  and  of  his 
distinguished  services  to  the  University  and  the 
State. 


DEBATING  UNION  PREPARES  FOR  CONTEST 

More  than  275  high  schools  have  enrolled  in  the 
High  School  Debating  Union  of  North  Carolina  for 
this  year's  contest.  The  triangular  debates  will  be 
held  throughout  the  State  on  March  29th  and  the 
final  contest  for  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup  will  be 
held  at  the  University  on  April  11th  and  12th. 

The  query  which  is  to  be  discussed  this  year  is: 
Resolved,  That  Congress  should  enact  a  law  provid- 
ing for  the  compulsory  arbitration  of  industrial  dis- 
putes. The  various  schools  entering  the  Union  have 
been  supplied  with  copies  of  Extension  Series  No. 
26,  Compulsory  Arbitration  of  Industrial  Disputes. 

Much  interest  is  being  taken  in  the  contest  of  the 
Union  in  the  State,   and  indications  are  that  this 


year's  contest  will  be  one  of  the  most  successful  in 
the  history  of  the  Union.  This  year's  contest  is  the 
sixth  of  the  annual  debating  series  of  the  High 
School  Debating  Union.  The  Pleasant  Garden,  Wins- 
ton-Salem, Wilson,  Graham  and  Waynesville  high 
schools  have  won  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup  in  the 
past.

DR.   EDWIN   MIMS   AT  THE   UNIVERSITY 

To  think  nationally  and  to  bold  on  after  the  war 
to  the  great  social,  economic  and  political  advances 
that  we  are  pouring  out  our  very  life  to  get — this  is 
the  supreme  duty  of  the  American  people,  according 
to  Dr.  Edwin  Mims,  of  Vanderbilt  University,  who 
has  just  completed  a  seminar  of  five  lectures  on 
American  literature  at  the  University. 

"In  the  most  dramatic  moment  of  history,"  de- 
clared Dr.  Mims,  "we  are  snatched  up  from  our 
usual  peaceful  borders  and  set  down  in  the  midst  of 
the  raging  crisis,  where  Caflyle  threw  down  the 
challenge  over  70  years  ago;  what  big  thought  or 
man  can  you  boast  of?  The  challenge  has  not  gone 
unanswered.  We  respond  in  unmistakable  terms 
when  we  produce  the  spokesman,  born  in  the  south 
and  trained  in  the  north,  who,  when  he  speaks,  holds 
the  whole  world  at  attention.  Greater  than  any  of 
his  sectionalist  predecessors,  and  rivaling  Lincoln 
in  the  clearness  and  force  of  his  style,  he  stands 
the  guiding  star  in  the  democratic  world. 

"And  not  only  have  we  the  man  but  the  thought 
also  to  answer  Carlyle's  challenge.  The  most  dis- 
tinctive step  in  political  idealism  of  the  whole  war  is 
the  idea  of  a  league  to  enforce  peace,  a  partnership 
of  nations,  a  concert  of  free  peoples.  This  idea  is 
original  with  us.  It  is  America's  concrete,  definite 
thought  to  the  world." — Greensboro  Daily  News, 
Dec.  20th. 


GRADUATE  ENGLISH  AND  HISTORY 

Editor,  The  Review: 

Sir:  In  your  December  issue  of  The  Review  you 
have  two  letters  relative  to  the  best  disposition  of  the 
Bingham  bequest.  I  am  heartily  in  favor  of  Mr. 
Whitaker's  suggestion,  namely,  to  increase  the  pay 
of  the  faculty.  The  University  has  too  long  suffered 
because  some  of  its  best  teachers  have  been  drawn 
elsewhere  by  a  mighty  force — bigger  money. 

But,  to  my  mind,  the  greatest  use  to  which  Caro- 
lina can  put  her  recent  gift  is  to  strengthen  the 
graduate  departments  of  English  and  History.  I 
name  these  two  departments  because  they  are  logi- 
cally the  only  departments  that  any  Southern  insti- 
tution, without  the  expenditure  of  enormous  sums 
of  money,  can  hope  to  make  equal  to  the  departments 
of  the  best  universities  in  the  United  States.  I  be- 
lieve the  South  is  rich  in  its  own  literature  and  his- 
tory, which  ought  to  be  taught  to  all  America.  I 
am  not  for  creating  a  spirit  of  sectionalism,  or  re- 
viving memories  of  the  dead  past.  These  two  de- 
partments should  teach  English  and  history  as  any 
first  class  American  university  should  teach  these 
subjects.     In  addition,  the  departments  should  lay 


special  stress  on  American  Literature  and  American 
History.  Now,  since  Carolina  is  a  Southern  uni- 
versity it  ought  to  be  an  authority  on  Southern  Lit- 
erature and  Southern  History.  I  believe  this  is  the 
most  propitious  time  for  Carolina  to  take  the  lead. 
Happily,  the  present  war  is  giving  the  death  stab 
to  any  lingering  traces  of  sectionalism  between  north 
and  south.  In  the  place  of  sectionalism  comes 
Americanism,  true  and  united.  The  educated  people 
of  the  South  have  for  a  long  time  known  more  of  the 
north  than  the  north  has  known  of  the  south,  because 
many  of  them  attended  northern  schools.  Who,  even 
of  the  school  children,  in  the  south  does  not  know  of 
Whitticr,  Longfellow,  Emerson.  Hawthorne,  Holmes, 
and  other  northern  authors  ?  But  I  have  met  teach- 
ers of  northern  schools  who  ]  ossessed  pitiable  and 
profound  ignorance  of  Lanier,  Timrod,  Joel  Chand- 
1  r  Harris,  Paul  Hamilton  Hayne,  and  other  south- 
ern writers.  And,  pray,  where  are  Americans,  either 
north  or  south,  to  study  fully  southern  authors  ? 

No  American  can  know  American  literature  and 
American  history  unless  he  knows  southern  literature 
and  southern  history,  which  are  essentially  American. 
It  is  absurd  to  expect  institutions  out  of  the  South 
to  treat  the  subjects  justly  and  adequately.  Let 
Carolina  strengthen  her  graduate  departments  in 
English  and  History,  and  she  will  add  to  her  fame 
and  worth  as  a  true  American  University. 
Very  sincerely  yours,

"WEALTH  AND  WELFARE  IN  N.  C." 

Shutting  its  eyes  to  the  war  for  a  moment,  the 
North  Carolina  Club  of  the  State  University  offers 
as  a  New  Year  gift  its  Year  Book,  entitled  "Wealth 
and  Welfare  in  North  Carolina."  Other  states  have 
their  Know-Your-Home-State  clubs,  but  none  are 
more  enterprising  than  this  one.  The  Year  Book  is 
not  a  volume  of  statistics.  It  is  a  record  and  inter- 
pretation of  history  in  the  making,  economic,  educa- 
tional, and  social.  But  the  real  task  of  the  Club  is 
to  get  the  contents  of  the  book  into  the  heads  and 
hearts  of  the  people  of  the  State.  The  chapter  on 
What  the  State  Does  with  the  Taxpayer's  Dollar 
ought  to  be  read  by  at  least  every  taxpayer.  Too 
Little  Live  Stock  in  North  Carolina  will  have  a  nar- 
rower appeal.  Study  of  local  history  usually  means 
gathering  curious  items  out  of  the  dim  past  and  ex- 
amining them  with  the  interest  of  an  antiquary.  The 
method  represented  in  this  Year  Book  need  not  in- 
terfere with  that  pleasant  occupation,  while  it  can 
hardly  help  making  the  present  more  worthy  of  the 
attention  of  the  future. — New  York  Evening  Post.

ALUMNI  HOLD  BANQUET  AT  CHARLOTTE 

Sixty  alumni  of  tbe  University  of  North  Carolina, 
most  of  whom  were  here  for  the  sessions  of  the  Tench- 
ers'  Assembly,  were  present  for  a  banquet  service 
in  the  tea  room  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  cafeteria  Friday

The  toastmaster  was  Dr.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  state  super- 
intendent of  public  instruction,  and  Dr.  Edward  K. 
Graham,  president  of  the  University,  was  the  guest 
of  honor.  Dr.  Graham  made  a  talk,  in  which  he  dis- 
cussed the  effect  of  the  war  on  education  and  the  part 
the  schools,  and  particularly  the  State  University, 
are  playing  in  military  training. 

Clem  G.  Wright,  of  Greensboro,  made  a  talk  in 
which  he  urged  the  building  of  a  new  hotel  at  Chapel 
Hill,  and  the  alumni  present  voted  approval  of  his 
suggestions,  and  took  steps  to  make  them  take  form. 

Other  speakers  included  T.  W.  Andrews,  superin- 
tendent of  Salisbury  schools;  A.  T.  Allen,  retiring 
president  of  the  Teachers'  Assembly  and  connected 
with  the  state  department  of  education  at  Raleigh;

cation at  the  State  University  and  State  high  school 
inspector,  also  the  new  president  of  the  Teachers' 
Assembly.

CLASS  OF  1908  ISSUES  BULLETIN 
The  class  of  190S  has  just  issued  through  Secre- 
tary Jas.  A.  Gray,  Jr.,  its  tenth  annual  bulletin.  The 
bulletin  goes  forward,  it  is  stated  in  the  foreword, 
with  the  hope  "that  it  may  serve  both  the  interests 
of  the  class  and  more  especially  the  interests  of  the 
University.  For  both  of  these  purposes  to  be  more 
satisfactorily  fulfilled,  it  is  hoped  that  every  mem- 
ber of  the  class  will  begin  making  arrangements  now 
to  attend  the  tenth  year  reunion  at  Chapel  Hill  in 
June,  1918." 

Thirty-five  members  of  the  class  have  married 
since  graduation  and  are  the  fathers  of  an  aggregate 
of  43  children.  Two  marriages  occurred  during  1917 
and  eight  children  were  born  in  that  year.  North 
Carolina  furnished  17  brides,  Pennsylvania  2,  and 
Georgia,  Illinois,  Massachusetts,  Mississippi,  Mon- 
tana, New  York,  Tennessee,  Texas,  Virginia  and 
West  Virginia  furnished  one  bride  each.  Thirty-six 
members  live  in  North  Carolina,  four  are  in  the  U. 
S.  Army,  3  in  Virginia,  2  each  in  Alabama  and  Penn- 
sylvania. Texas,  District  of  Columbia,  Georgia, 
Montana,   New  Mexico,   West   Virginia,   Maryland 


and  New  York  claim  one  man  each.  Fourteen  mem- 
bers are  teachers,  and  10  are  lawyers.  Four  mem- 
bers are  engaged  in  insurance,  4  in  manufacturing, 
and  4  are  in  the  U.  S.  Army.  Three  are  engineers 
3  agriculturists,  and  3  sales  representatives.  Two 
are  bankers  and  two  are  chemists.  The  vocations  of 
medicine,  journalism,  merchandising,  the  ministry, 
and  the  judgeship  have  one  member  each.  Fifty-five 
graduates  are  living.  Two  have  died  since  gradua- 
tion. 


NEW  ALUMNI  OFFICERS

FROM  CAMP  BEAUREGARD 

Dear  Dr.  Graiiam  : 

I  am  gratified  to  learn  that  the  University  is  hav- 
ing a  prosperous  year  in  spite  of  conditions  brought 
about  by  the  war.  I  am  always  interested  in  Caro- 
lina and  her  good  work  and  I  feel  quite  sure  that  her 
part  in  this  time  of  national  need,  and  I  might  say 
national  awakening,  will  in  every  particular  be  sec- 
ond to  that  of  no  other  educational  institution  in  the 
country.  It  seems  to  me  that  the  ideals  to  which 
Carolina  has  always  given  expression  peculiarly  fit  in 
with  the  high  purpose  of  this  country  and  her  allies 
to  make  the  world  "safe  for  democracy." 

With  kindest  personal  regards, 

Sincerely  yours,

professor  of  Electrical  Engineering.  More  recently 
he  had  been  connected  with  the  Underwriters  (elec- 
trical) Laboratories,  of  Chicago.  Since  graduation 
he  was  secretary  of  the  class  of  1899. 

The  funeral  services  were  held  in  Durham  at  the 
Second  Baptist  church  on  Saturday,  January  19th. 
Professors  H.  M.  Wagstaff  (his  classmate)  and  M. 
H.  Stacy,  and  J.  S.  Carr,  Jr.,  president  of  the  class 
of  1899,  served  as  pall  bearers,  and  Rev.  W.  D.

VARSITY  BASEBALL 

Though  it  is  a  little  difficult  at  this  time  to  make 
any  definite  statements  concerning  the  baseball  sea- 
son for  this  spring,  because  of  unsettled  conditions, 
Manager  G.  D.  Holding,  of  the  Carolina  Varsity,  is 
going  ahead  with  his  plans  and  the  indications  now 
are  that  an  attractive  schedule  will  be  arranged.  Tt 
cannot  be  said  now  what  differences  the  University 
military  training  will  make  in  the  plans  this  year. 

In  spite  of  difficulties  in  securing  attractive  games 
in  the  north  this  year,  Manager  Holding  is  trying 
to  arrange  an  attractive  northern  trip,  so  as  to  play 
Virginia  on  Easter  Monday  and  the  following  schools 
on  the  same  trip,  during  Easter  week:  Washington 
and  Lee,  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Princeton,  Col- 
lege of  the  City  of  New  York,  and  Columbia  Uni- 
versity. This  would  give  the  team  two  games  in 
New  York  City.  Tbe  manager  is  also  in  correspond- 
ence with  several  of  the  State  colleges  and  near-by 
southern  colleges  and  universities. 

The  basketball  season  will  get  under  way  immedi- 
ately after  examinations.  Two  games  were  played 
with  the  Durham  "Y"  before  the  holidays  in  which 
the  team  made  a  good  showing,  and  revealed  some 
real  ability.  Charles  Tennent,  star  guard  of  last 
year  and  brother  of  Paby  Tennent,  last  year's  cap- 
tain, is  captain  of  this  year's  quint.  Grandin,  Liip- 
fert,  Carmichael,  Lynch,  Gwyn,  Hodges  and  Cuth- 
bertson  are  showing  up  well.  All  of  these,  except- 
ing Lipfert  and  Carmichael,  were  on  the  squad  last 
year.  The  latter  two  have  made  good  records  in 
high  school,  the  former  at  Winston-Salem  and  the 
latter  at  Durham.  Other  freshmen  are  showing  up 
well.     The  schedule  follows: 

Jan.  31,  Emory  and  Henry  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Feb.  2,  V.  M.  I.  at  Richmond. 

Feb.  4,  Guilford  at  Greensboro. 

Feb.  5,  Davidson  at  Winston. 

Feb.  6,  University  of  Georgia  at  Chapel  TTilL 

Feb.  7,  Eastern  College  of  Virginia  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Feb.   11,  Elon  at  Chapel  Hill. 


Feb.  12,  Roanoke  College  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Feb.  13,  Bingham  (Mebane)  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Feb.  14,  Durham  Y.  M.  C.  A.  at  Chapel  Hill.

Feb.  18,  Lynchburg  Athletic  Club  at  Lynchburg. 

Feb.  22,  Guilford  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Feb.  27,  Davidson  at  Chapel  Hill. 

Virginia  has  recently  started  basketball  again,  and 
games  with  her  at  Raleigh  and  Charlottesville  are 
pending. 


MILITARY  ORGANIZATION 

Interest  continues  unabated  in  the  military  work 
now  being  conducted  at  the  University  under  the  di- 
rection of  Capt.  J.  Stuart  Allen,  P.  P.  C.  L.  I.  The 
whole  battalion  has  recently  stood  military  examina- 
tions, and  a  special  examination  was  given  for  the 
officers.  Regular  drill  will  be  resumed  after  exami- 
nations. 

Captain  Allen  has  outlined  many  special  courses 
for  the  spring  term.  During  February  the  men  will 
specialize  in  certain  departments,  as  in  the  army. 
These  special  fields  are  bayonet-fighting,  bombing, 
musketry,  signalling,  military  engineering,  etc.  Reg- 
ular drill,  trench  warfare  and  manual  of  arms  will 
still  continue  for  all. 

A  r/ifle  range  is  to  be  constructed  soon,  and  there 
will  be  abundant  practice  in  firing  on  the  range.  The 
University  now  has  50  of  the  latest  model  Springfield 
rifles,  with  ammunition.  In  addition  it  has  250 
guns  of  an  old  model,  used  in  the  manual  of  arms. 
Prof.  T.  F.  Hickerson  will  be  in  charge  of  the  course 
in  military  engineering.  Captain  Allen  will  con- 
tinue his  interesting  lectures  on  the  special  problems 
of  the  war,  life  at  the  front,  raids,  attacks  and  other 
necessary  parts  of  modern  warfare.

CORPORAL  GRAHAM 

Frank  P.  Graham,  corporal  U.  S.  Marines,  and 
derelict  editor  of  this  publication,  has  recently  (be- 
fore his  elevation  from  private  to  corporal)  been  do- 
ing guard  duty  "somewhere  in  the  Philadelphia  Navy 
Yard."     The  following  story  emanates  from  him: 

Private  Graham — "Who  goes  there?"  (to  Sambo, 
laborer,  approaching  guarded  section  of  yard). 

Sambo—  "Fre'n'." 

Private  Graham — "Advance  and  give  'the  pass 
word"  (usually  the  name  of  some  noted  naval  offi- 
cer). 

Sambo  (confused,  scratching  his  head) — "Fo'  de 
Lawd,  boss,  I'se  forgot  dat  man's  name." 

Private  Graham — "Advance  and  give  the  pass 
word." 

Sambo  (his  face  lighting  up) — "Oh  yes,  boss, 
now  I  'membersit.     Duck,  boss,  Duck." 

Private  Graham — "Pass."

W.  T.  BOST  BECOMES   EDITOR 

Feeling  a  deep  interest  in  the  future  success  of  the 
State  Journal,  it  is  highly  gratifying  to  know  that  I 
leave  it  in  thoroughly  competent  hands.  It  has  been 
leased  to  Mr.  W.  Thomas  Bost,  who  assumes  the 
editorship  and  entire  management  with  this  issue. 
Mr.  Bost  is  already  well  known  to  the  people  through 


his  contributions  to  the  daily  press,  and  needs  no  in- 
troduction. His  vigorous  and  entertaining  style 
has  won  for  him  a  host  of  friends  and  given  him 
high  rank  among  the  journalists  of  the  State.  His 
wide  'acquaintance  and  bis  intimate  knowledge  of 
public  affairs,  as  well  as  his  thorough  understand- 
ing of  the  traditions  and  ideals  of  our  people,  make 
him  well  qualified  to  edit  this  paper.  He  will  give  it 
new  life  and  increased  vigor  and  we  look  for  a  great 
increase  in  its  influence  and  usefulness.  I  earnestly 
solicit  for  him  the  cordial  patronage  and  support 
which  I  believe  he  will  merit. — Alex  J.  Feild. 


REPRESENTATIVE  McLENDON'S  PROMOTION 

From  Camp  Sevier,  Greenville,  comes  the  report 
that  Captain  L.  P.  McLendon,  commander  of  Bat- 
tery C,  has  just  passed  the  best  examination  of  a 
picked  six  of  the  officers  trained  at  Fort  Sill.  It  is 
said  that  his  examination  was  practically  perfect.  He 
is  reported  to  be  slated  for  promotion  to  major. 

Captain  McLendon  was  Durham's  1917  represen- 
tative in  the  lower  house  and  floor  leader  of  the  edu- 
cational forces.  He  married  Miss  Mary  Aycock,  of 
Raleigh.

The  Durham  County  Alumni  Association  of  the 
State  University  celebrated  Christmas  with  a  ban- 
quet and  a  smoker  with  General  Julian  S.  Carr  as 
host.  Plates  were  laid  for  100  members  and  guests. 
Mr.  W.  D.  Carmichael,  president  of  the  Durham  As- 
sociation, was  toastmaster.  He  introduced  the  host, 
General  Carr,  who  gave  his  guests  a  cordial  Tar 
Heel  welcome.  Among  the  speakers  were  Prof.  H. 
H.  Williams,  Dr.  Edwin  Greenlaw,  and  Mr.  W.  D. 
Moss,  of  the  University ;  Chief  Justice  Walter  Clark 
and  Prof.  E.  C.  Brooks.  It  was  decided  that  the 
Durham  county  alumni  purchase  a  service  flag  for 
the  University.  Mr.  John  Sprunt  Hill,  of  Durham, 
will  donate  the  flag  to  the  University. 


NEWMAN  VISITS  THE  HILL.

W.  S.  WILSON  NEW  STATE  LIBRARIAN 

Mr.  W.  S.  Wilson,  Legislative  Reference  Libra- 
rian, has  recently  been  appointed  by  the  trustees  of 
the  State  Library,  acting  librarian,  without  salary,  to 
serve  until  the  next  session  of  the  General  Assembly, 
when  an  effort  will  be  made  to  co-ordinate  all  the 
library  facilities  of  the  State  under  one  head.  The 
action  of  the  trustees  followed  the  resignation  of  Mr. 
Alex  J.  Feild  as  State  Librarian  to  take  up  a  posi- 
tion to  which  he  has  been  appointed  in  Washington, 
D.  C. 

The  trustees  of  the  Library,  including  Governor 
Bickett,  are  definitely  committed  to  the  plan  of  co-or- 
dinating under  one  control  the  State  Library,  the 
Legislative  Reference  Library,  and  the  State  Library 
Commission.  The  necessary  authority  for  this  must 
come  through  the  Legislature. 


COL.  ALEX  FIELD  GOES  ON  THE  SHIPPING  BOARD 

Col.  Alex  Feild,  editor  of  the  Slate  Journal  and 
State  Librarian,  has  been  appointed  to  an  important 
place  on  the  shipping  board  and  has  accepted  the 
honor. 

His  new  position  pays  a  salary  larger  than  the 
combined  revenue  of  editor  and  Librarian.  His 
journal  will  live  on. 

Colonel  Feild  was  private  secretary  to  Governor 
Kitchin  and  had  been  secretary  prior  to  the  state 
democratic  executive  committee.  He  is  a  lawyer 
by  profession. 


DR.  ROYSTER  GOES  TO  NAVY  DEPARTMENT 

Dr.  J.  F.  Royster,  professor  of  English  at  the 
University  of  Texas  and  formerly  of  the  University, 
was  recently  a  visitor  on  the  campus.  During  the 
war  he  will  have  work  in  the  Intelligence  Bureau  of 
the  Navy. 


DORTCH  MAJOR  OF  INFANTRY 

James  T.  Dortch,  of  the  class  of  1901,  is  a  major 
of  infantry  in  the  National  Army  and  is  stationed 
at  Camp  Pike,  Arkansas,  with  the  87th  Division.  He 
is  personnel  officer.  Major  Dortch  attended  the  of- 
ficers training  camp  held  at  Fort  Logan  H.  Roots, 
Arkansas,  last  summer,  and  is  by  profession  a  law- 
yer located  in  Oklahoma  City. 


THE  RANGE  FINDER  APPEARS 

Students  in  Dr.  Greenlaw's  class  in  higher  compo- 
sition, English  21,  have  recently  published  a  very 
attractive  paper,  in  which  is  published  some  of  the 
best  work  of  members  of  the  class.  It  attempts  to 
indicate  the  attitude  of  the  college  man  toward  the 


war  and  the  problems  it  has  aroused.  The  paper, 
known  as  the  Range  Finder,  is  made  up  very  attrac- 
tively, somewhat  in  the  style  of  the  New  Republic. 
It  is  the  purpose  of  the  class  to  publish  another  num- 
ber during  the  spring.  It  has  already  been  cordially 
received  by  the  student  body.  Members  of  the  class 
sold  350  copies  on  the  street  and  campus  the  night 
of  publication. 


FROM  NEW  YORK 

Editor.,  The  Review: 

Sik:  Amid  a  plethora  of  publications  which  come 
to  my  desk,  The  Review  is  one  that  is  always  eagerly 
seized  and  either  read  on  the  instant  or  carefully  laid 
aside.  I  like  its  editorial  poise,  its  sane  perspective. 
It  gives  the  atmosphere  of  "The  Hill."  I  know  of 
no  publication  which  outranks  it  in  its  field.  With 
best  wishes  for  the  New  Year,  I  am, 

Yours  sincerely,

THE  UNIVERSITY  IN  LETTERS 


The  atomic  weight  of  a  chemical  element  is  a  con- 
stant whose  determination  is  of  fundamental  impor- 
tance. The  value  is  a  relative  one,  being  referred  to 
hydrogen  as  the  standard.  Hydrogen  is  extremely 
light  (note  its  use  for  balloons)  and  it  has  been 
agreed  to  call  its  atomic  weight  one.  The  atomic 
weight  of  copper  is  65,  which  merely  means  that  the 
atom  of  copper  is  equal  in  weight  to  65  atoms  of 
hydrogen.  Although  the  investigation  of  atomic 
weights  has  been  under  way  for  over  a  century,  the 
goal  of  complete  accuracy  is  far  from  reached,  and 
values  are  constantly  being  changed.  These  changes 
are  however  usually  very  small.  An  international 
committee,  representing  America,  England,  Germany 
and  France,  makes  an  annual  report  in  which  the  in- 
vestigations on  atomic  weights  are  carefully  consider- 
ed and  new  values  are  adopted  where  the  research  is 
of  a  suffciently  rigid  character  to  justify  it.  The  re- 
quirements of  success  in  atomic  weight  determina- 
tions are  severe  since  it  is  very  difficult  to  prepare 
the  necessary  compounds  in  a  perfectly  pure  condi- 
tion. New  methods  of  attack  are  required  and  this 
usually  involves  the  invention  of  new  forms  of  appa- 
ratus. 

The  recent  publication  of  "The  Atomic  Weight  of 
Zirconium"  in  The  Journal  of  the  American  Chemi- 
cal Society  by  Professor  Venable,  with  whom  was 
associated  Professor  Bell,  is  particularly  interesting, 
since  the  change  proposed  in  the  atomic  weight  is 
strikingly  large.  The  accepted  value  of  the  atomic 
weight  of  Zirconium  for  many  years  has  been  90.6. 
The  new  value  proposed  is  91.76  which  calls  for  a 
change  of  1.16.  The  changes  made  in  the  figures  for 
the  well  known  elements  are  far  smaller  as  a  rule. 


An  example  may  be  found  in  that  of  sulfur  which 
was  changed  in  1915  from  32.07  to  32.06  or  a  change 
of  only  0.01.  No  idea  can  be  given  in  this  brief 
notice  of  the  difficulties  that  had  to  be  surmounted  be- 
fore the  authors  felt  justified  in  proposing  this  new 
value  for  Zirconium.  The  invention  of  several  forms 
of  electrical  apparatus  was  a  very  important  factor 
in  reaching  the  2'oal. 


Augustus  W.  Long,  '85,  for  a  dozen  or  more  years 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  Princeton  University,  has 
just  published  (D.  C.  Heath  &  Co.,  New  York)  a 
volume  of  American.  Patriotic  Prose  with  notes  and 
biographies,  for  use  in  schools.  It  begins  with  pio- 
neer days,  and  comes  down  to  President  Wilson's  fa- 
mous war  message  of  April  2,  1917. 

Among  the  selections  which  will  particularly  in- 
terest North  Carolinians  is  one  by  the  late  White- 
law  Reid  on  the  Scotch-Irish  element  in  American 
life.  Mr.  Reid  dwells  pointedly  upon  the  settlement 
in  North  Carolina  and  discusses  the  Mecklenburg 
Declaration  with  sympathy.  The  part  taken  by  the 
Scotch-Irish  at  the  battle  of  King's  Mountain  is  also 
stressed. 

Another  selection  which  will  interest  Carolina 
men  is  an  extract  from  a  Memorial  Day  address  of 
the  late  Major  Charles  M.  Busbee,  of  Raleigh. 

Near  the  end  of  the  volume  are  to  be  found  selec- 
tions from  the  addresses — in  some  cases  the  addresses 
are  given  in  full — of  President  Wilson,  Mr.  Cleve- 
land, Mr.  Roosevelt,  Mr.  Root,  Mr.  Choate,  Dr. 
Charles  William  Eliot,  Dr.  Lyman  Abbott,  and 
many  others. 

The  section  of  the  book  which  will  probably  strike 
the  eye  first  is  entitled  "Gallant  Youth."  "It  is 
especially  inspiring,"  says  the  New  York  Evening 
Sun,  "because  of  the  vividness  with  which  it  presents 
the  ideals  and  the  sacrifices  of  the  youths  who  have 
given  their  lives  for  their  country  in  its  time  of 
need." 


Professor  Edwin  Greenlaw,  of  the  English  Depart- 
ment, has  recently  been  to  Washington  where  he  con- 
ferred with  the  educational  council  of  the  National 
Red  Cross.  Dr.  Greenlaw  read  a  paper  before  the 
Council.  The  idea  of  the  Lafayette  Association, 
which  Dr.  Greenlaw  originated,  has  been  of  interest 
to  Red  Cross  leaders,  and  some  of  its  principles  will 
be  embodied  in  the  Junior  Red  Cross  work  through- 
out the  country. 


The  organizers  of  Epsilon  Phi  Delta,  a  society 
formed  this  year  at  the  University  for  the  study  of 
the  Japanese-American  problem,  have  recently  been

greatly  honored  by  one  of  the  leading  newspapers  of 
Japan,  which  has  taken  official  notice  of  this  step 
towards  better  understanding  between  the  two  peo- 
ples. The  Hoshu  Shinpo  Sho,  of  Oita,  Japan,  has 
awarded  attractive  medals  to  John  S.  Terry,  Kamei- 
chi  Kato,  Earl  Marsh,  William  M.  York  and  Hennas 
Stephenson.  These  medals  are  given  in  Japan  to 
only  those  who  have  performed  some  signal  servica 
of  one  kind  or  another. 


THE  SOUTH  IS  AROUSED 

The  South  as  a  section  was  not  as  bellicose  in  the 
earlier  stages  of  the  war  'as  the  New  England  States 
were.  But  on  the  other  hand  never  has  it  had  many 
pacifists;  and  the  relative  purity  of  its  white  race 
stock — either  Anglo-Celtic  or  French  (as  in  Louisia- 
na)— has  not  given  to  either  its  urban  or  its  rural 
communities  any  of  the  difficult  problems  of  preserv- 
ing peace  and  detecting  treason  that  officials  and  cit- 
izens of  states  in  the  mid-west  have  been  facing. 
Now  that  the  war  is  on  with  the  United  States  as  a 
mighty  partner,  the  South  is  aroused ;  and  from  that 
region  are  coming  examples  which  may  well  be  imi- 
tated in  the  North. 

University  War-Work 

Thus  the  University  of  North  Carolina  has  quick- 
ly adjusted  its  extension  department  so  that  centers 
are  being  established,  where  students  in  communities 
in  all  parts  of  the  State  will  have  a  choice  between 
one  or  all  of  the  following  subjects  of  study :  Theo- 
ries of  State,  Europe  since  1S15,  South  American 
relations,  political  idealism  in  British  and  Ameri- 
can literature,  economic  and  social  aspects  of  th6 
war,  and  the  war  as  reflected  in  recent  literature. 
Correspondence  courses,  using  a  newly  combined 
book  called  American  Ideals,  are  being  worked  out 
for  the  benefit  of  isolated  individuals  who  are  or 
should  be  patriots.  The  University  library,  aided 
by  the  faculty,  is  distributing  to  all  applicants  infor- 
mation as  to  books  and  articles  on  special  subjects 
relating  to  the  war,  and  is  sending  forth  literature 
in  pamphlet  form,  acting  as  a  distributing  agency 
for  the  federal  government  and  for  the  many  spe- 
cial patriotic  societies  that  have  their  propaganda 
headquarters  in  the  large  northern  publishing  cen- 
ters. In  addition  to  this,  members  of  the  faculty 
are  writing  special  articles  for  the  press  of  the  State, 
and  are  seeing  to  it  that  people  influential  in  their 
local  communities  receive  bulletins  covering  latest 
developments  in  the  politics  and  economics  of  the 
war. 

Lafayette  Associations 
Last  but  not  least,  through  the  Lafayette  Associa- 
tions, made  up  of  parents  and  of  youth  in  the  educa- 


tional institutions  of  the  State,  including  the  public 
schools,  the  school  is  being  made  the  community  cen- 
ter for  "nourishing,  developing  and  crystallizing, 
through  expression,  the  national  spirit  of  present  and 
future  America."  In  other  words  the  school  house  is 
to  be  to  the  North  Carolina  of  today  and  of  tomorrow 
what  the  town  meeting  and  town  house  have  been  to 
New  England  for  generations.  The  choice  of  the 
name  of  Lafayette  for  this  ramifying  educational 
movement  hardly  needs  explanation,  but  it  is  none 
the  less  admirable  because  so  obvious  and  commenda- 
ble. 

North  Carolina's  example,  if  followed  by  the  South 
generally,  will  have  a  reflex  influence  on  the  social

ALUMNI  MEETINGS 

The  Review  records  herewith  accounts  of  the  various  meet- 
ings which  were  held  by  alumni  associations  on  December 
28th  in  accordance  with  the  letter  sent  to  the  alumni  before 
the  holidays  by  President  Connor,  of  the  General  Alumni  As- 
sociation : 

ASHEVILLE 

The  Asheville  alumni  and  students  of  the  University  held 
their  second  annual  gathering  and  dinner  at  the  Battery  Park 
hotel  on  Friday  evening,  December  28th.  The  students  who 
spoke  presented  University  life  eloquently  and  with  much 
spirit.  The  new  officers  pledged  themselves  to  carry  on  the 
work  of  the  alumni  association  with  all  possible  strength  and 
energy  during  the  coming  year.  Haywood  Parker,  '87,  of 
the  law  firm  of  Bourne,  Parker  and  Morrison,  a  member  of 
the  board  of  trustees,  was  elected  president  of  the  associa- 
tion, and  Harry  Howell,  '95,  superintendent  of  the  city

endeavor  in  Asheville. 

DURHAM 

A  largely  attended  banquet  of  the  Durham  County  Alumni 
Association  was  held  on  the  evening  of  December  28th  at  the 
Malbourne  hotel,  Durham.  General  Julian  S.  Carr  was  host  to 
the  University  gathering,  and  arrangements  for  the  banquet 
were  made  by  General  Carr  and  President  W.  D.  Carmichael, 
of  the  association.  Prof.  H.  H.  Williams,  of  the  chair  of 
philosophy  in  the  University,  was  principal  speaker.  He  pre- 
dicted the  utter  destruction  of  the  German  ideal,  saying  that 
"The  day  after  this  war  started  I  remarked  to  a  friend  that 
the  Kaiser  might  just  as  well  pack  his  grip  for  St.  Helena." 
Absolutism  cannot  win  the  great  struggle,  said  Prof.  Wil- 
liams, since  it  fights  the  very  structure  of  life  itself.  Prof. 
Williams  was  followed  by  Dr.  Edwin  Greenlaw,  of  the  chair 
of    English    in   the    University,    who    made    a    humorous    talk. 

Others  who  made  talks  were:  Rev.  W.  D.  Moss,  of  the 
Chapel  Hill  Presbyterian  church;  Chief  Justice  Walter  Clark, 
of  Raleigh,  president  of  the  Wake  County  Alumni  Associa- 
tion; Marion  Powler,  a  graduate  of  the  University  and  now  a 
student  in  the  University  Law  School;  and  Prof.  E.  C.  Brooks, 
who  brought  a  greeting  from  Trinity.  The  banquet  and  gath- 
ering was  one  of  the  most  notable  in  the  history  of  the  Dur- 
ham County  Association. 

GASTONIA 

The  Gaston  County  Alumni  Association  and  the  Gaston 
County  Club  of  the  University  held  a  joint  smoker  in  the  audi- 
torium of  the  Graded  school  building  at  Gastonia  on  the  even- 
ing of  December  28th.  The  meeting  was  one  of  the  most  enjoy- 
able in   the  history   of   the   association   and   the   county   club. 


Supt.  Joe  S.  Wray,  of  the  city  schools,  presided  as  president  of 
the  association.  Talks  were  made  by  A.  G.  Mangum,  who  is  a 
member  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  University,  Joe  R. 
Nixon,  A.  E.  Woltz,  Miss  Louisa  Reid,  John  G.  Carpenter,  Joe 
S.  Wray,  E.  R.  Rankin,  Ray  Armstrong,  R.  M.  Johnston,  Jr., 
Leonard  Thomas,  and  Ralph  McClurd. 

The  high  school  seniors  of  the  county  were  present  as 
guests.  Joe  R.  Nixon  was  appointed  on  a  special  committee 
with  the  secretary  to  keep  records  of  all  members  of  the  as- 
sociation or  county  club  entering  military  service. 

Officers  were  elected  as  follows:  President,  Joe  S.  Wray, 
'97;  Vice-President,  Joe  R.  Nixon,  '10;  Secretary,  E.  R.  Ran- 
kin,   '13. 

MARION 

The  alumni  and  students  of  the  University  living  in  Mc- 
Dowell County  held  an  enjoyable  banquet  at  the  Marianna 
Hotel,  Marion,  from  six  until  eight  o'clock  on  the  evening  of 
December  28th.  Supt.  S.  L.  Sheep,  of  the  city  schools,  pre- 
sided, and  speeches  were  made  by  R.  L.  Greenlee,  L.  J.  P.  Cutlar 
and  Mr.  Sheep.  This  banquet  was  the  first  which  the  Mc- 
Dowell alumni  and  students  have  had.  Plans  were  made  to 
push  forward  University  endeavor  in  all  lines  in  McDowell 
County. 

SMITHFIELD 

The  Johnston  County  alumni  of  the  University  held  their 
annual  banquet  in  Smithfield,  December  28th,  with  Albert  M. 
Coates,  president  of  the  Johnston  County  club,  acting  as  toast- 
master. 

The  principal  speaker  was  Francis  F.  Bradshaw,  of  Hills- 
boro,  who  brought  the  University  spirit  in  one  of  the  best 
speeches  the  alumni  had  listened  to  in  a  long  time.  He  pic- 
tured the  University  activities  under  the  stress  of  war,  told 
of  the  growth  of  her  services  and  her  hope  for  the  future, 
and  of  the  opportunity  of  the  alumni  to  share  in  that  future. 
He  was  followed  by  J.  L.  Stuckey  one  of  the  successful  young 
men  who  went  out  from  the  University  before  he  had  finished 
his  senior  year  to  take  charge  of  a  limestone  plant  in  Ten- 
nessee. Judge  F.  H.  Brooks,  and  Hon.  J.  A.  Wellons  re- 
sponded in  splendid  style ;  and  the  ladies  present  testified 
their  approval  of  the  University 's  recent  action  in  extending 
wider  educational  facilities  to  women. 

The  attendance  at  the  banquet  was  the  largest  it  had  ever 
been.

— before  they  went  to  France — 

a  large  number  of  the  class  of  1917  made  their  wills. 

A  simple  thing-  to  do,  for  few  of  them  had  much  in  the  way  of 

fortune. 
But  they  made  their  wills,  in  order  that  they  might  leave  at  least 

one  hundred  dollars  to  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund. 

— It  is  a  simple  thing  they  did ;  but  it  has  about  it  the  indomitable  spirit  of  im- 
mortality and  the  gracious  spirit  of  loyal  knighthood. 

— A  member  of  the  class  of  1916  left  behind  a  will  of  half  dozen  lines  with  two  be- 
quests.   One  of  them  was  a  bequest  of  $100  to  the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund. 

— Another  man  from  an  older  generation  in  college  left  a  bequest  of  $25,000. 

— Each  after  his  ability  and  with  equal  desire! 

— WAR  liberates  large  and  generous  emotions  often  repressed  in  times  of  peace. 

— WHY  should  not  every  loyal  alumnus  on  the  firing  line  of  life  make  a  bequest  to 
the  Loyalty  Fund  %  He  withdraws  nothing  from  use ;  he  is  enabled  to  give 
back  to  the  institution  and  to  society  a  part  of  the  talents  given  to  him ;  it 
makes  him  a  permanent  partner  in  youth  and  progress. 

— You  think  you  will  never  die. 

Perhaps  not.  But  be  on  the  safe  side,  and  say  what  you  want  done  with  what  you 
leave  .  Write  your  will  now;  don't  wait  till  you've  got  your  million.  Put 
the  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund  in  for  from  $100  to  $100,000.  A  holograph  will  is 
enough.    It  is  as  easy  as  this:  "I  hereby  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Alumni 

Loyalty  Fund  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  the  sum  of 

dollars." 

— In  the  vulgar  vernacular:  Carpe  diem;  or  as  the  classic  Roman  hath  it:  Do  it 
now!
