CY  THOMPSON  SENDS— 

To  his  friends  and  policyholders — wherever  they  may  be — warmest  greetings,  with  the 
hope  that  you  have  found,  at  home  or  abroad,  a  place  of  service  in  the  successful  prosecution  of 
the  Great  War. 

For  six  months  since  he  changed  his  '"say,"  he  has  led  the  strenuous  life  of  a  civilian  man- 
ager of  a  Regimental  Canteen  in  Camp  Sevier.  He  hopes  now  to  find  work  that  will  lead  to 
over-sea  duty.  But  be  assured  that  his  worthy  friend  and  General  Agent,  at  Raleigh,  stands 
ready  at  all  times  to  give  you  the  immediate  and  future  benefits  of  the  continued  superior  ser- 
vice of  the  old  Xew  England  Mutual. 

This  is  true  whether  you  may  be  interested  in  conserving  protection  now  in  force,  in 
buying  new  insurance,  or  in  making  an  agency  contract.  It's  a  good  time  to  tie  to  the  old,

OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


THE  123d 


The   Commencement  of  1917 

iMENT  followinS  close  uP°n  the  declara- 
tion of  war  and  the  rush  of  stu- 
dents and  alumni  to  training 
camps,  and  made  notable  by 
the  presence  of  Secretaries 
Baker  and  Daniels,  pulsed 
with  a  spontaneous,  vital  pa- 
triotism. The  colors  waved, 
the  drums  rolled,  the  campus 
thrilled  with  patriotic  fervor. 

The  Commencement  of 
1918  was  pitched  in  a  dif- 
ferent key.  The  flag,  to  be 
sure,  was  in  evidence  every- 
where. The  procession  moved 
across  the  campus  to  the  now 
familiar  tune  of  "  Ov  e  r 
There."  But  the  current  of 
patriotic  feeling,  while  run- 
ning swiftly,  ran  deeper.  Red 
Cross  and  Liberty  Bond  but- 
tons, leaves  of  absence  for 
professors  forsaking  the  class- 
room for  the  war  laboratory, 
the  khaki  and  blue  of  soldier 
and  sailor  uniforms  mingled 
with  the  black  gown,  bore 
witness  to  a  finer,  deeper  pa- 
triotism expressing  itself  in 
devotion  to  America's  ideal 
and  a  determination  on  the 
part  of  students,  alumni,  fac- 
ulty, and  University  to  "car- 
ry on"  whether  on  the  cam- 
pus or  back  at  home,  or  on 
the  fields  of  France. 

To  repeat,  this  spirit  of 
Commencement  was  distinctly  that  of  to  "carry  on.'' 
It  has  grown  steadily  throughout  the  year  and  it  has 
been  the  distinctive  characteristic  of  all  Carolina's 
work  through  the  year.     On  the  part  of  the  student

body  it  has  meant  the  giving  up  of  many  of  the  usual 
campus  interests  and  the  substitution  of  strict  mili- 
tary training.  It  has  also  meant  to  them  a  more 
diligent  application  to  class- 
room work  as  reflected  in  the 
high  grades  of  both  terms  of 
the  session.  On  the  part  of 
the  faculty  it  has  meant  the 
sudden  substitution  of  stud- 
ies and  courses  with  a  dis- 
tinctive war  "slant"  for  those 
grown  familiar  through  fre- 
quent repetition.  In  many 
instances  these  have  been  of- 
fered at  camp  or  extension 
center,  or  through  publica- 
tion, as  the  demands  of  the 
situation  required.  And  on 
the  part  of  the  alumni  it  has 
meant  the  whole-hearted  en- 
try into  the  service. 

Just  what  the  story  of  this 
combined,  cumulative  effort 
is  through  which  this  spirit 
has  expressed  itself  has  been 
told  from  time  to  time  in  The 
Review.  For  the  alumni 
who  returned  to  Commence- 
ment it  was  strikingly  por- 
trayed by  Mr.  Woollen,  vis- 
ualizer  of  many  of  Caro- 
lina's signal  achievements,  in 
an  artistic  red,  white,  and 
blue  place-card,  the  central 
part  of  which,  without  the 
frame  of  bars  and  stars,  is 
reproduced  in  the  center  of 
this  page. 
No  single  item  in  the  exhibit  conveys  its  full  signi- 
ficance. Xor  does  the  total  exhibit.  But  it  suggests 
better  than  anything  else  the  spirit  of  determination 
to  "carry  on"  with  which  Commencement  breathed.

THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 


ASSOCIATION  OF 
ALUMNI    SECRETARIES 


The  Review  wishes  that  every  alumnus,  especially 
every  class  officer  or  local  alumni  association  officer, 

ci  mid  have  attended  the 
meeting  of  the  Association  of 
Alumni  Secretaries  which 
met  with  Yale  University  at  New  Haven,  Conn., 
May  10  and  11,  and  could  have  participated  in  the 
discussions  of  that  exceedingly  alert  organization. 
Approximately  forty  alumni  secretaries,  alumni  of- 
ficers, and  editors  of  alumni  publications,  all  in  the 
closest  touch  with  alumni  activities,  were  present, 
and  for  two  days  discussed  what  today  is  one  of  the 
most  vital  of  college  matters — the  relation  of  the 
alumni  to  the  university  in  war  times.  The  dis- 
cussion was  held  to  the  following  main  topics:  1. 
Alumni  and  the  Financing  of  a  University  in  War 
Time.     2.  The  Alumni  Publication  in  War  Time. 

3.  Alumni   Meetings   and   Reunions    in   War   Time. 

4.  The  Keeping  of  Alumni  War  Records. 

In  the  case  of  the  privately  endowed  institutions 
of  the  East,  their  income  has  been  seriously  cut 
through  the  loss  of  students.  The  institutions,  so 
vital  to  the  winning  of  the  war  and  to  the  rebuilding 
of  the  nation  after  the  war,  have  to  he  maintained 
at  top  efficiency.  They  have  to  "carry  on".  To  do 
this,  it  has  been  the  duty  of  the  alumni  to  meet  the 
deficit— at  Yale  $260,000  for  1<>  1  7-1  *— which, 
through  their  Alumni  Loyalty  Fund,  they  have  done, 
and,  in  addition  will  add  something  over  $200,000 
to  the  principal. 

The  situation  with  the  state  universities  is  some- 
what similiar.  Their  incomes  have  not  been  mater- 
ially cut,  but  the  full  co-operation  of  the  alumni  is 
essential  in  enabling  them  to  continue  to  function 
in  all  essentials  and  "carry  on"  so  that  at  the  end 
of  the  conflict  the  new  civilization  will  not  look  in 
vain  for  enlightened  leadership. 

Many  men  in  middle  life  and  beyond  envy  the 
khaki  clad  youths  the  privilege  of  ii< linu  over  the 
top.  Alumni  of  American  colleges  and  universities 
who  have  reached  this  point  of  life,  however,  are  not 
denied  the  privilege  of  serving,  and  no  finer  field  has 
yet  been  discovered  than  that  of  keeping  Alma  Mater 
true  to  her  best  and  supporting  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion  generally. 

□  □□ 

The  home-coming  of  L908,  the  story  of  which  is 
told  in  the  Alumni  section  of  this  issue,  splendidly 
illustrates  the  value  of  effective  alum- 
ni organizations.  For  ten  years  the 
class  secretary,  James  A.  Gray,  Jr., 
has  issued  a  class  bulletin,  subscriptions  have  been 
maintained,  and  on  June  4th.  twenty-nine  members

of  the  class  stepped  upon  the  rostrum  and  handed 
the  University  a  check  for  $1,000  to  be  added  to  the 
Alumni  Loyalty  Fund.  At  the  same  time  the  class, 
which  had  stood  so  staunchly  by  the  University  in  its 
first  ten  years  of  after-college  life,  elevated  its  sec- 
retary to  the  position  of  president,  perfected  an  even 
mi  re  thorough  organization,  and  left  the  campus 
determined  to  play  the  part  of  an  intelligent  sup- 
porter of  the  institution  and  the  cause  of  education 
in  the  days  ahead.  Incidentally  it  served  notice  mi 
the  class  of  1905  and  all  other  classes  which  have 
previously  brought  gifts  on  reunion  occasions,  that 
this  was  but  the  beginning,  and  that  five  years  hence 
the  same  sort  of  thing  was  to  he  repeated.  All  of 
which  points  conclusively  to  the  fact  that  one  of  these 
days  Alumni  Day  will  cease  to  he  largely  a  grand 
pow  wow  fest.  It  will  become  a  day  on  which  the 
spirit  and  worth  of  Carolina  men  will  express  them- 
selves in  purposeful,  far-reaching  deeds. 

nan 

Tiii':  Review  does  not  wish  to  he  unsympathet- 

ically  critical,  hut  it- must  say  a  few  things  about  the 

program  for  Alumni  Day.  Under  the 
A  CHANGE  ,  , 

NEEDED       present   regime  there  is  too  much  pow 

wowing  and  too  little  fellowshiping. 
Ami  there  is  by  far  too  little  planning  for  the  future. 
Despite  their  antics,  the  alumni  are  an  intelligent 
body  of  people.  They  have  ideas,  they  like  tremen- 
dously to  do  big  and  useful  things,  but  at  present  they 
can't  get  at  them.  They  are  drowned  in  a  flood  of 
"back  in  the  days  of  Old  Wilkes  Caldwell  we  did  so 
and  so",  or  "John  Smith  led  the  immortal  band  up 
the  slopes  of  Berry  Hill."  Which  is  splendid,  pro- 
vided it  is  unloosed  at  a  class  banquet,  or  out  on  the 
benches  under  the  trees,  or  (  in  the  event  that  it  is 
very  cleverly  done)  at  the  big  Alumni  Banquet,  And 
The  Review  urges  that  provision  for  just  this  sort 
of  thing  be  made — but  somewhere  other  than  at  the 
Alumni  meeting.  Tt  is  tremendously  worth  while. 
It's  really  the  big  thing  to  the  majority  of  men  who 
have  come  back  to  see  each  other,  and  it  will  con- 
tinue to  be  so  as  long  as  men  are  human. 

At  the  same  time.  Tin:  Review  believes  that  the 
public  exercises  of  the  day  should  be  clean  cut  and 
should  lead  somewhere.  A  thirty-minute  alumni 
address,  full  of  some  present-day  alumni  matter, 
would  be  worth  while.  Furthermore,  the  president 
of  the  University  should  have  an  opportunity  to  tell 
the  alumni  of  what  is  going  on  in  the  University. 
And  this  should  he  done  before  the  crowd  has  been 
literally  "gassed",  and  momentarily  expecting  re- 
lease by  the  ringing  of  the  luncheon  hell.

E.  R.  RANKIN 
IN  SERVICE 


And  then  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  one  of  these  days 
the  business  meeting  will  transact  business.  For 
there  is  plenty  of  busines  to  transact.  Heaven  only 
knows  how  much!  Places  on  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee and  in  the  offices  should  not  go  by  default :  and 
the  contest  for  office,  outlined  months  before  in  The 
Review,  should  come  to  a  sharp  intelligent  issue. 

DDD 

After  five  years  of  constant  work  in  behalf  of  the 
alumni  and  the  University,  E.  R.  Rankin,  '13,  has 
entered  the  service  at  Camp  Jackson. 
What  this  means  to  the  University 
and  to  The  Review,  of  which  he  was 
the  Business  Manager,  has  already  been  felt.  And 
it  will  lie  still  more  felt  because  of  the  variety  and 
quality  and  excellence  of  what  he  did. 

Mr.  Rankin's  going  lays  responsibility  on  new 
shoulders.  For  five  years  he  has,  singlehanded,  with- 
out any  support  whatever,  and  upon  his  own  respon- 
sibility, financed  The  Review.  And  during  the 
five  years  he  has  not  allowed  one  word  to  appeal'  in 
these  columns  on  this  subject. 

And  it  is  upon  your  shoulders,  Mr.  Alumnus,  that 
this  responsibility  has  been  laid — especially  if  your 
class  dates  back  of  1010.  Twelve  hundred  of  the 
younger  alumni  are  in  service.  This  represents  ap- 
proximately one  third  of  The  Review's  subscrip- 
tion list.  This,  together  with  increased  m<t  of  print- 
ing, postage,  etc..  means  that  the  older  alumni  and 
the  families  of  the  boys  in  service,  must  come  to  the 
support  of  the  publication  and  see  that  it  goes  as 
regularly  as  possible  to  camp  and  overseas.  Picture 
yourself  in  a  trench  across  the  Atlantic,  and  imagine 
what  you  would  think  of  the  fellow  back  home  if 
he  did  not  keep  up  to  par  the  publication  which  to 
him  is  veritably  a  letter  from  home. 

DDD 

It  has  been  impossible  to  replace  Mr.  Rankin.  His 
work  as  Secretary  of  the  Debating  Union  ha-   been

R  W  MADRY  continues  as  Alumni  .Secretary, 

but  obviously  he  cannot  give  atten- 
tion to  this  very  important  work.  The  track-meet 
and  athletic  events  which  he  directed  will  be  taken 
over  by  the  Athletic  Committee.  Mr.  A.  M.  Coates 
and  N.  G.  Gooding  will  be  interested  in  the  campaign 
for  new  students,  and  Mr.  R.  W.  Madry  will  as- 
sume the  business  management  of  The  Review. 

In  this  connection,  we  wish  to  urge  that  every  sub- 
scriber renew  his  subscription  at  once.  To  bill  the 
entire  list  will  cost  $00.00  in  postage,  not  to  men- 
tion stationery,  labor,  etc.  So  here  is  an  opportunity 
to  co-operate   and   to   conserve.      Will  you   seize   it  ?

posed courses  the  University  gives  evi-

to  the  requirements  of  the  hour.  Read  the  statement, 
and  then  tell  the  high  school  boys  in  your  community 
about  it. 

If  you  have  any  doubt  as  to  the  value  of  college 
training  in  these  and  similiar  subjects,  it  will  be 
illuminating  to  read  the  following  excerpt  from  a 
letter  by  William  Cobb  to  his  father,  Professor  Cobb, 
of  the  University.  It  embodies  a  quotation  from  Mr. 
<  'i dil>*s  instructor.  It  is  based  on  statistics  which 
show  that  only  four  men  out  of  every  hundred  who 
apply  for  entry  into  the  aviation  service  are  admitted. 
Mr.  Cobb  is  speaking  as  a  member  of  the  fortunate 
four  per  cent. 

"I  have  a  very  good  chance  of  making  good.  Only 
seven  per  cent  of  the  college  graduates  who  are  ad- 
mitted fail.  Twenty-five  per  cent  of  those  with  only 
high  school  training  fail,  and  forty-one  per  cent  of 
those  who  have  never  been  to  high  school.  So  you 
-re.   T  am  in  a  favored  class." 

DDD 

In  our  last  issue  in  commenting  oupon  the  career 
of  Dr.  Stephen  15.  Weeks,  we  stated  that  Dr.  Weeks 
was  the  first  Xorth  Carolinian  to 
receive  the  degree  of  doctor  of 
philosophy  from  Johns  Hopkins  University.  We 
find  that  we  were  mistaken  in  this.  The  distinction 
belongs  to  Dr.  ( '.  L.  Smith,  of  Raleigh,  a  member

According  to  a  telegram  received  from  the  War  De- 
partment on  Saturday,  dune  15,  the  University  has 
been  designated  as  a  Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps 
of  senior  grade  for  the  year  101S-10,  and  Lieut-Col- 
onel G.  W.  S.  Stevens  has  been  assigned  as  Comman- 
dant. 

Through  this  order  of  the  War  Department,  Caro- 
lina's work  in  military  training  receives  full  govern- 
ment recognition.  Students  who  take  the  training 
will  be  provided  with  equipment,  will  receive  $8.00 
monthly  as  remuneration,  and  their  work  will  lead 
to  provisional  commissions. 


Chapel  Hill  more  than  doubled  its  Red  Cross  war

THE    ALUMNI     REVIEW 


CLASS  DAY 


The  closing  exerieses  of  the  senior  class  featured 
the  second  day's  commencement  program,  Monday, 
June  3.  The  farewell  address  by  ex-President  Battle, 
the  speech  in  behalf  of  the  class  by  President  William 
York,  the  oratorical  contest  between  W.  H.  Stephen- 
son and  Albert  M.  Coates,  and  the  final  exercises 
under  the  Davie  Poplar,  all  were  exceedingly  inter- 
esting. The  anniversary  meetings  and  smokers  of 
the  Dialectic  and  Philanthropic  literary  societies  at 
night  concluded  the  day's  program. 
Dr.  Battle  Bids  Farewell 

The  class  day  program  began  at  9  :30  in  the  morn- 
ing when  the  graduating  class  formed  in  front  of 
the  old  well  and  marched  to  Chapel,  where  they 
heard  Dr.  Battle. 

In  his  parting  admonition  Dr.  Battle  insisted 
that  the  class  should  cultivate  the  quality  of  relia- 
bility, which  includes  practically  all  the  virtues.  It 
means,  he  said,  the  cultivation  of  the  mind,  the  heart, 
and  of  forming  the  right  habits.  He  urged  upon 
them  punctuality  in  meeting  the  various  engagements 
of  life.  The  class  was  thanked  for  its  excellent  con- 
duct while  here  and  asked  to  keep  alive  the  ideals  and 
traditions  of  the  University. 

President   York's   Farewell 

The  public  exercises  of  the  day  began  at  10 :30 
a.  m.  in  Gerrard  Hall.  President  William  York,  of 
High  Point,  expressed  a  profound  feeling  of  ap- 
preciation and  gratitude  in  behalf  of  his  classmates 
to  the  faculty  and  townspeople  for  the  uplifting  and 
constructive  things  done  for  the  class,  and  for  the 
many  kindnesses  shown  it. 

<  Vintrasting  the  peaceful  conditions  of  four  years 
ago  when  the  class  was  preparing  to  enter  upon  its 
University  career  with  those  of  today,  President 
York  said  the  University  had  given  the  seniors  the 
proper  tools  for  carving  the  correct  answer  to  the 
various  problems  of  life.  ''The  end  of  the  war  will 
bring  greater  problems,  which  it  is  our  duty  to  solve. 
If  we  have  made  a  structure  on  which  to  put  the  roof 
of  life,  then  our  future  need  not  be  feared,"  he  said 
in  closing.  Clasg  Gift  of  $2500 

The  class  gift  of  $2,500  to  the  University,  payable 
in  five  annual  installments,  was  presented  by  J.  Y. 
Baggett,  of  Salemburg.  The  seniors  have  all  signed 
five  notes  of  five  dollars  each  to  become  due  each

mented briefly  on  the  relationship  of  his  class  to  the 
University.  Among  alumni  present  he  saw  Major 
John  W.  Graham,  of  Hillshoro,  of  the  class  of  1857, 
and  he  referred  to  him  as  a  leader  of  sophomoric

bers. J.  Crawford  Biggs,  of  Raleigh,  was  chief 
spokesman,  being  president  of  the  class  in  his  senior 
year.  Statistics  showed  that  most  of  the  members  are 
professional  men.  Mr.  Biggs  said  that  baseball  and 
football  were  begun  while  the  class  was  in  the  Uni- 
versity. He  commented  briefly  on  several  members

two  supreme  distinctions  in  that  it  had  the  first 
woman  to  graduate  from  the  University,  and  one 
of  its  members  became  president  of  the  University, 
Dr.  F.  K.  Graham.  P.  D.  Gobi,  of  New  York,  dis- 
cussed the  remarkable  changes  which  had  come  over

on  the  platform.  Mr.  Gray  turned  over  to  President 
Graham  a  check  for  $1,000  as  the  sum  pledged  when 
the  class  left  the  University  ten  years  ago.  The 
sum  was  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Alumni  Loyalty 
Fund. 

The  classes  of  1913  and    1917,   whose  leadership 
is  largely  in  service,  concluded  the  reunion  exercises 
with  the  premise  of  returning  in  numbers  when  the 
war  is  over  and  their  present  task  is  dune. 
Business  Meeting   Held 

Following  the  reunions  a  business  meeting  of  the 
Association   was  held.      President  Graham  spoke  of 


the  number  of  the  men  the  University  had  -cut  into 
the  service  and  emphasized  the  fact  that  it  was  the 
University's  supreme  duty  to  carry  on  its  work  and 
to  make  clear  the  nature  of  the  ideal  for  which  Amer- 
ica is  fighting.  R.  D.  W.  Connor  was  re-elected 
president  and  E.  R.  Rankin  secretary.

COMMENCEMENT  DAY 


One  Hundred  and  Three  Students  Receive  Degrees 


A  crowd  that  taxed  the  capacity  of  Memorial  Hall 
heard  Dr.  Frederick  C.  Howe,  Commissioner  of  Im- 
migration at  the  Port  of  New  York,  deliver  the  com- 
mencement  address  during  the  closing  hours  of 
the  University  finals  on  Wednesday,  June  .">.  De- 
grees were  conferred  on  103  candidates  by  Governor

sented by  the  deans  id'  the  various  schools  of  arts,

Professor  Edwin  Minis,  id'  Vanderbilt  University, 
for  three  years  a  professsor  of  English  literature  at

Presbyterian  Church,  received  the  honorary  degree-

Opening  Exercises 

The  exercises  of  the  day  began  at  10:45  with  the 
marching  id'  the  academic  procession,  led  by  the  Uni- 
versity hand,  across  the  campus  to  Memorial  Hall, 
where  the  invocation  was  offered  by  Bishop  Edward 
Rondthaler.  of  Winston-Salem.  The  speaker  of 
the  occasion.  Dr.  Frederick  C.  Howe,  was  introduced 
by  President  Graham. 

Dr.   Howe   Speaks 

Dr.  Howe's  address  was  distinguished  for  its  force, 
eloquence,  and  clearness.  As  author,  traveler,  student. 
speaker,  thinker,  and  finally  as  Commissioner  of  Im- 
migration at  the  Port  of  New  York,  Dr.  Howe  was 


admirably  fitted  to  give  an  accurate  and  intelligent 
discussion  of  his  subject,  "America  After  the  War." 

After  the  war — what  '.  is  the  question  that  is  being 
asked  by  all  classes:  by  the  manufacturer,  the  busi- 
iii  -s  man  and  the  banker;  by  the  farmer;  and  most 
insistently  of  all  by  the  workers;  and  by  many 
women.  Will  we  t>o  hack  to  the  old  individualism  of 
every  man  for  himself  and  devil  take  the  hindmost  ; 
or  has  America  become  a  new  kind  id'  nation,  inter- 
laced in  thousands  of  new  ways  with  the  govern- 
ment \  Have  we  changed  from  a  legalized  nation  to 
an  industrial  state  socialism?  These  are  some  of  the 
questions  in  his  opening  remarks  to  which  he  ad- 
dressed himself.  "It  would  he  a  brave  prophet  vim 
would  attempt  to  forecast  the  America  that  is  to  issue 
from  the  war.  lint  of  some  things  we  may  he  reason- 
ably certain,"  the  speaker  declared. 

Dr.  Howe  made  it  clear  that  it  is  incumbent  upon 
those  who  remain  at  home  to  provide  for  the  repatria- 
tion of  the  hoys  "over  there"  who  have  offereed  their 
all  in  the  common  defense — repatriation  in  a  way 
that  will  nor  prolong  their  sacrifices  when  the  war 
is  over.  When  they  come  hack  to  America  we  should 
he  prepared  to  distribute  them  to  their  homes,  to  em- 
ployment, to  as  immediate  contact  with  their  former 
occupations  as  possible.  In  a  sense  our  whole  after 
the  war  reconstruction  program  should  he  visualized 
in  our  program  for  the  repatriation  of  returning  s  >1- 
diers. 

In   concluding 


members  of  the  graduating  class. 


Dr.  Howe  spoke  directly  to  the 
'Study  yourself 
and  see  how  you  are  made,"  he  said.  "Ignore  the 
pressure  of  public  opinion  if  you  feel  that  you  are 
in  the  right.     You  mav  suffer  for  the  time  being,  hut

COURSES  ADAPTED  TO  MEET  WAR  CONDITIONS 


During  1918-19  Special  Courses  in  Military  Science,  Engineering  and  French 

Are  to  Be  Offered 


From  the  moment  of  America's  entry  into  the  war, 
the  University  has  constantly  striven  so  to  adjust  its 
curriculum  as  to  insure  that  special  sort  of  training 
which  would  best  serve  its  students  in  the  present 
emergency.  To  this  end,  a  five-hour  course  in  mil- 
itary science  was  offered  in  1917-18,  and  the  work  of 
the  University  Battalion  has  been  such  as  to  win  high 
approval. 

Additional  Courses  Offered 

In  order  to  continue  the  work  in  this  field  already 
begun,  the  faculty  committee  on  Military  Science  has 
outlined  the  following  course  for  101S-19: 

First  year  course — Thirty  minutes  setting  up  ex- 
ercises five  mornings  and  drill  two  afternoons,  seven 
hours  per  week.  Credit  3  hours.  The  work  will 
consist  of  drill,  manoeuvres,  hikes,  bayonet  work, 
trench  warfare,  bombing  tactics,  elementary  map 
reading,   sketching,    use   of  compass,   etc. 

Second  year  course — Thirty  minutes  setting  up 
exercises  five  mornings  and  drill  two  afternoons, 
seven  hours  per  week.  Credit  3  hours.  The  work 
will  consist  of  drill,  day  and  night  manoeuvres, 
signalling,  bayonet  fighting,  tactics,  musketry  (fir- 
ing on  range),  advanced  trench  warfare,  advanced 
military  engineering,  map  reading,  sketching,  bridge 
building,  use  of  compass,  etc. 

Military   French 

Men  now  overseas  are  constantly  in  need  of  famil- 
iarity with  French.  Two  courses,  one  elementary, 
and  the  other  intermediary,  are  to  be  given  which 
will  afford  special  practice  in  the  spoken  language. 
Credit  for  these  courses  will  be  given  as  for  the 
present  courses  French  A  and  French  1-2. 

Deferred  Classification  for  Engineering  Students 

According  to  the  recent  ruling  of  the  War  Depart- 
ment, students  in  enginering  who  are  preparing  for 
military  service  are  to  lie  placed  in  a  deferred  classi- 
fication and  allowed  to  remain  in  college  till  their 
course  is  completed. 

Tn  order  to  meet  the  government's  requirements, 
the  University  proposes  to  offer  a  special  three-year 
war  course  in  engineering.  This  course,  a  condensa- 
tion of  the  regular  four-year  engineering  courses,  will 
be  offered  for  the  duration  of  the  war  and  will  lead 
to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Engineering. 
As  now  planned,  the  course  will  include  two  years 
of  military  science  and  drill,  two  special  courses  in 
military  French,  as  well  as  the  courses  in  the  funda- 


mental sciences,  and  there  will  be  three  options  each 
leading  directly  into  a  definite  branch  of  the  militarj 
establishment. 

Option  one,  leading  to  service  in  the  Engineers' 
Corps,  will  be  based  on  a  special  course  in  military 
engineering,  covering  roads,  bridges,  mapping,  etc. 
Certain  students  electing  this  option  may  enlist  in 
the  Enlisted  Reserve  Corps  of  the  Engineering  De- 
partment and  be  placed  in  Class  V  on  the  ground 
that  they  are  in  the  military  service  of  the  United 
States.  On  completion  of  the  course  they  are  au- 
tomatically called  to  the  colors. 

Option  two  will  be  given  in  co-operation  with  the 
Signal  Corps  and  will  be  based  on  a  special  course 
in  radio  engineering,  part  of  the  apparatus  for  which 
will  be  supplied  by  the  Signal  Corps.  Students  elect- 
ing this  option  will  enlist  in  the  Signal  Enlisted  Re- 
serve Corps  and  they  likewise  will  not"  be  called  to 
the  colors  until  they  have  completed  their  training. 

Option  three  will  train  men  for  a  special  five- 
months'  course  in  the  United  States  Navy  Steam  En- 
gineering School  at  Hoboken,  N.  J.,  upon  the  satis- 
factory completion  of  which  they  will  be  commis- 
sioned as  Ensigns  in  the  Navy  for  engineering  duties. 
Students  electing  this  option  will  enlist  in  the  Naval 
Reserve  Force  as  Seamen  2nd  class  and  will  not  be 
called  for  service  until  they  are  graduated. 

It  is  intended  to  issue  a  special  bulletin  describing 
fully  the  above  courses  as  soon  as  all  the  details  have 
been  arranged.  The  alumni  can  be  of  great  service 
to  the  University  and  to  the  country  as  well  if  they 
will  send  Professor  Daggett  the  names  of  the  high 
school  graduates  in  their  communities  whose  natural 
bent  and  inclinations  would  qualify  them  for  service 
along  the  above  lines.

LETTERS  FROM  THE  FRONT

By  W.  B.  PITTS,    16 
1st  Lieut.  38th  Infantry 

(In  a  letter  to  Dr.  William  Dey) 

France,  April  30. 

I  always  hoped  to  see  France  some  day  but  the 
circumstances  of  my  first  visit  are  somewhat  dif- 
ferent from  what  I  expected  back  in  1916.  I'm 
over  here  at  last  and  was  very  glad  to  find  myself 
actually  in  France  after  a  good  trip  across. 

Ever  since  I  left  college  I  have  enjoyed  keeping 
up  my  French,  although  I  had  very  few  chances  to 
practice  my  conversation.  I  was  a  little  dubious  the 
first  day  but  soon  started  a  conversation  with  a 
little  newsboy  who  wanted  to  carry  my  baggage.  I 
found  my  first  attempt  at  reviving  my  French  was 
successful,  so  I  began  taking  advantage  of  every  op- 
portunity to  use  it,  and  have  been  studying  more  in 
the  little  time  I  have  when  the  scheduled  work,  which 
is  real  work,  is  over.  I  soon  found  that  I  recalled 
a  great  deal  of  what  I  had  studied  and  now  have  very 
little  difficulty  making  myself  understood  anywhere. 
It  was  a  long  road  thru  some  of  the  lessons  in  the 
little  Matzke  book  but  I  am  only  too  glad  now  that  I 
was  able  to  have  the  language  all  the  time  I  was  in 
college.  Aside  from  my  personal  pleasure  in  using 
French,  a  very  practical  use  has  been  found  for  what 
I  know  of  it.  I  am  the  only  one  in  my  outfit  who 
can  speak  it  and  am  constantly  in  demand  as  an 
interpreter   for   the   benefit  of   all   concerned.      You 


can't  overestimate  the  importance  of  an  officer's 
knowing  French. 

The  people  are  very  kind,  pleasant  and  have  the 
highest  regard  for  all  American  soldiers,  but  there 
are  a  great  many  times  when  a  French-speaking 
American  can  make  things  run  more  smoothly  if  he 
acts  as  interpreter  for  both  soldiers  and  the  people. 

I  find  something  new  and  very  interesting  every 
day.  and  can  hardly  realize  sometimes  that  I  am 
really  in  France,  hut  it  takes  only  one  look  at  some 
of  the  quaint  old  rambling  buildings  and  the  natives 
to  convince  me  that  I  am  not  in  the  states.

2nd   Lieut.,  2nd  Inf.   Replacement   Regt., 

Camp   Gordon,   Ga.,   May  29,  1918. 

Please  send  me  as  nearly  as  you  can  the  Extension 
Leaflets  that  give  information  about  the  war.  I  am 
particularly  desirous  to  read  the  syllabus  of  "Na- 
tional Ideals  in  British  and  American  Literature", 
Xo.  14,  I  think  it  is.  My  interest  is  both  personal 
and  also  in  the  possibility  of  using  these  in  training 
recruits. 

I  am  fairly  busy  now  with  work  that  is  interesting 
in  spite  of  its  gruelling  nature,  because  it  shows  me 
so  many  types  of  American  citizens.  I  am  training 
recruits  by  a  system  that  designs  to  fit  them  for  duty 
in     replacing    casualties    in     organizations    already

trained.  I  have  just  finished  with  a  group  from 
Indiana,  and  now  am  working  with  a  bunch  from 
Ohio.  In  France.  I  was  with  men  from  .New  Eng- 
land, and  officers  coming  casually  from  the  West  and 
South.     It  is  a  great  experience  in  mixing. 

John  Steadman  is  here.  He  loaned  me  the  copy 
of  The  Review  that  inspired  me  to  write  to  yon. 
He  is  an  officer  candidate  in  my  battalion.  There 
are  other  Carolina  men  here  whom  I  have  not  yet 
got  in  touch  with. 

Good  hick  to  vmi  all. 


A  MESSAGE  TO  THOSE  AT  HOME 

The  following  interesting  reference  is  made  con- 
cerning .1.  II.  Cntchin,  member  of  the  University 
Medical  School  in  1907,  by  W.  T.  Ellis  in  "The 
Boys  of  '7<i  in  France,"  in  the  Saturday  Evening 
Post  of  . I  nne  15th  : 

While  I  >ai  in  the  dugout  waiting  for  the  ambu- 
lance that  was  to  bear  me  through  the  night  to  regi- 
mental headquarters,  the  members  of  the  corps  kept 
moving  quietly  in  and  out  on  their  grisly  errands. 
These  boys — tor  they  are  only  boys,  such  as  we  used 
to  see  loafing  about  the  village  cigar  stor< — would 
talk  as  nonchalantly  about  an  expedition  to  No  Man's 
Land  under  tire  as  the  farmer  would  speak  of  his 
evening  trip  to  the  barn  to  feed  the  stock. 

"We  have  brought  down  three  more,  sir;  that 
makes  the  seven  that  were  out  by  the  wire."  was  the 
quiet  report  to  the  surgeon  lieutenant  made  by  two 
privates  entering  from  the  darkness. 

Then  they  began  to  talk  about  something  to  eat. 
One  of  them,  as  1  was  leaving,  sent  a  message 
home  that  shows  what  really  troubles  the  men  at  the 
Front.  1  had  been  chatting  with  the  doctor — a 
chubby-faced,  ever-smiling  North  Carolina  lad  named 
Cutchin,  who  would  be  a  charming  acquisition  to 
an  afternoon  tea  or  dinner  party,  with  that  infectious 
smile  which  he  lavished  upon  the  wounded  and  upon 
his  men  and  upon  the  visitor.     Small  wonder  that  in 

his  absence  the  New  England  boys  had  1 n  boasting 

to  me  about  him.  As  I  left  the  dugout  lie  said:  "If 
you  see  any  of  my  people  tell  them  that  1  am  all 
right.  I  am  getting  along  finely.  I  am  perfectlv 
comfortable  out  here  and  they  needn't  worry  a  min- 
ute about  me.  They  think  I  am  having  a  hard 
time,  but  I  am  not:  I  am  having  just  the  best  time 
in  all  the  world."  He  wore  shrapnel-proof  helmet 
as  he  spoke,  and  was  covered  with  French  mud.  and 
-pent  his  days  in  and  out  of  a  bombproof  cave,  on  a 
road  daily  shelled  by  the  Germans;  yet  his  words 
were  sincere  and  earnest  and  took  no  thoughl  of  the 
incongruity.

BACCALAUREATE  SERMON 

The  one  hundred  and  twenty-third  Commencement 
exercises  of  the  University  began  on  Sunday,  June  2, 
with  the  annual  baccalaureate  sermon  in  Gerrard 
Hall  by  Dr.  D.  .1.  Fraser,  president  of  the  Presbyter- 
ian College  of  Montreal,  Canada. 

Taking  as  his  subject,  "A  Plea  for  the  Spiritual  in 
Education,"  Dr.  Fraser  stressed  the  point  that  the 
spiritual  nature  of  man  grasps  truth  which  is  not 
within  reach  of  the  ear,  eye.  and  mind,  spiritual 
nature  being  the  organ  for  the  perception  of  this  kind 
id'  knowledge.  Applying  this  principle  to  history,  to 
the  external  world,  and  to  the  experiences  of  human 
life.  Dr.  Fraser  showed  that  observation  ami  the  intel- 
lectual faculties  do  not  carry  one  very  far.  "When. 
however,  we  bring  our  spiritual  faculty  to  hear  upon 
these  three  departments,  we  reach  a  spiritual  view  of 
nature,  history,  and  human  lite." 

In  seeking  the  spiritual  mean  of  life  he  said  that 
three  things  constituted  the  problem,  namely,  the 
service  that  causes  man's  heroism,  the  experiences 
.>f  sorrow  and  pain,  and  sorrow  and  remorse.  Love 
is  the  solution  of  all   these  problems,  he  insisted. 

In  the  midst  of  the  perplexing  currents  of  history 
today,  we  as  students  need  to  cultivate  the  faculties 
of  faith,  hope,  and  love  :  ami  in  the  words  of  St.  Paul. 
"Love  is  the  greatest  of  them  all."  Dr.  Fraser  -aid 
in  conclusion. 

Vesper  Services  Held  on  Campus 
Vesper  services  conducted  by  Dr.  W.  1).  Moss,  of 
the  local  Presbyterian  Church,  were  held  at  8  p.  m. 
Sunday  under  the  Davie  poplar.  Dr.  Moss  empha- 
sized the  presence  of  God  in  human  experiences  and 
attempted  to  show  that  Cod  will  point  out  a  man's 
life  work. 

"Only  along  the  lines  of  a  Cod  consciousness  can  a 
man  find  his  life  work  successfully  in  the  world. 
Whatever  you  are  to  do  and  whatever  you  are  to  he 
you  should  do  and  he  according  to  what  God  tells 
you."  he  said,  speaking  directly  to  the  seniors. 

"You  young  people  are  anxious  to  know  your  life 
work."  Dr.  Moss  said  in  (dosing  his  talk.  "If  you 
will  get  Cod  into  your  life  work  he  will  tell  you  what 
your  life  work  is  to  he.     He  speaks  by  inspiration." 


R.  II.  Thornton,  a  member  of  the  department  of 
English  and  for  several  years  instructor  in  journal- 
ism in  the  University,  is  now  a  member  of  Co.  do. 
Xaval  Training  Station,  at  Norfolk,  Va. 

Dr.  H.  W.  Chase  delivered  the  baccalaureate  ad- 
dress at  Salem  College  on  Wednesday,  May  29.

THE  UNIVERSITY  IN  LETTERS 


The  following  paragraph  appeared  in  the  New 
York  Nation  of  June  15.  Drs.  Foerster  and  Pierson 
are  members  of  the  University  faculty,  and  Mr.  Long 
is  an  alumnus: 

Only  years  will  reveal  the  effect  of  the  war  on  the 
teaching  of  English  in  college  and  high  school,  but 
what  promises  to  become  one  of  the  most  important 
results  has  already  made  its  appearance.  It  may 
be  seen  in  Foerster  and  Pierson's  "American  Ideal-." 
in  Gauss's  "Democracy  Today,"  in  Watkins  and  Wil- 
lams's  "Forum  of  Democracy,"  in  Long's  "Patriotic 
American  Prose,"  and  most  notably  in  the  War  In- 
formation Series  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina 
(Chapel  Hill,  North  Carolina).  Two  numbers, 
"American  Ideals  in  American  Literature,''  by  Pro- 
fessor Edwin  Minis,  and  "National  Ideals  in  British 
and  American  Literature."  prepared  by  a  committee 
of  the  English  department  at  North  Carolina,  are  sig- 
nificant. The  purpose  of  these  syllabi  is  not  to  study 
literature  as  an  art,  or  as  recreation,  or  as  a  revelation 
of  personality,  or  for  other  time-honored  reasons. 
The  purpose  is  to  find  in  literature  a  reflection  of 
national  ideals.  Professor  Mim's  pamphlet  seems 
to  have  been  somewhat  hastily  prepared.  His  analy- 
sis is  largely  chronological.  In  the  text  he  makes 
references  to  articles  which  nowhere  appear  in  the 
bibliographies.  In  the  bibliographies  he  introduces 
as  Americans  such  hitherto  alien  authors  as  II.  Gr. 
Wells  and  Thomas  Carlyle.  Another  evidence  of 
haste  in  the  proofreading — he  misquotes,  for  example, 
so  recent  a  title  as  Dewey's  "Democracy  and  Educa- 
tion." The  committee's  syllabus  on  "National 
Ideals"  is  move  thorough.  Five  chapters  trace  the 
evolution  of  national  ideals  in  English  Literature 
up  to  1014.     A  sixth  runs  through  American  litera- 


ture in  the  same  way.  The  concluding  two  reveal 
the  relations  of  the  war  and  democracy  in  contem- 
porary writings.  The  significant  feature  of  this 
syllabus  is  that  it  will  lead  students  to  approach  liter- 
ature with  what  will  be  for  most  of  them  a  new  point 
of  view.  Both  the  notes  and  the  lists  of  writings 
will  direct  their  attention,  not  incidentally,  but  con- 
tinuously, and  with  concentration,  to  disengaging  the 
changing  ideals  of  the  nation.  Both  of  the  syllabi 
will  help  to  disseminate  among  students  of  our  Eng- 
lish literary  heritage  a  deeper  and  more  reasoned 
faith  in  the  brotherhood  of  the  future. 


"Wake  County:  Economic  and  Social"  is  the  title 
of  an  interesting  and  instructive  bulletin  prepared 
at  the  headquarters  of  the  North  Carolina  Club  by 
the  Wake  County  students  in  the  University  and  is- 
sued by  the  Wake  County  Club,  aided  financially  by 
the  business  men  of  Wake. 

The  editorial  board  consists  of  G.  B.  Lay,  Edi- 
tor-in-Chief; W.  H.  Stephenson,  O.  R.  Cunningham, 
T.  P.  Harrison,  Jr.,  R.  C.  Maxwell,  J.  R.  Pearson. 
The  bulletin  covers  67  pages,  and  is  in  eight  chap- 
ters: A  Short  History  of  Wake;  Raleigh,  Our  Cap- 
ital City ;  Natural  Resources ;  Industries,  and  Op- 
portunities; Wealth  and  Taxation  in  Wake  County; 
Farm  Conditions,  Farm  Practices,  and  The  Local 
Market  Problems;  Seven  Year  Gains  in  Wake 
County  Rural  Schools;  Where  Wake  County  Leads: 
Our  Problems  and  Their  Solution. 

This  is  the  third  bulletin  of  its  kind  to  be  issued 
in  America:  the  other  two  (Sampson  County:  Eco- 
nomic and  Social,  and  Durham  County:  Economic 
and  Social)  having  also  been  issued  by  students  in 
the  University. 

It  is  the  most  accurate  and  interpretative  study 
that  has  been  made  of  Wake  County.  It  has  given 
to  the  men  who  made  it  an  invaluable  training  in  the 
details  of  citizenship.  It  should  serve  to  stimulate 
a  county  consciousness  among  those  who  read  it. 
It  is  significant  as  an  expression  of  the  growing  in- 
terests of  colleges  and  college  students  in  conditions 
about  us  and  the  times  in  which  we  live,  which 
augurs  well  for  the  future. 


The  appearance,  just  at  Commencement  time,  of 
the  second  number  of  "The  Range  Finder,"  shows 
this  admirable  accession  to  the  nation's  periodical 
literature  to  have  struck  firm  root  in  the  soil  of 
Chapel  Hill.  The  journal,  as  all  the  world  knows, 
is  the  official  organ  of  English  21,  one  of  the  multi- 
plying indications  that  the  college  student  is  some- 
times what  he  was  really  intended  to  be,  a  first  rate 
specimen  of  man  thinking.     The  editors  do  not  claim

to  enlighten  the  world  absolutely,  but  only  to  pre- 
sent the  student  point  of  view.  They  are,  perhaps, 
too  modest  and  should  enlarge  their  pretensions  to 
match  with  their  accomplishment.  For  the  student 
point  of  view  is,  after  all,  the  point  of  view  of  the 
educated  man.  The  cloistral  idea  of  student  life 
has  no  place  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina, 
to-day,  or  indeed  at  any  university  save  that  memora- 
ble one,  well  known  to  all  sophomores  until  they 
have  passed  their  final  examination  in  English  lit- 
erature, at  Weissniehtwo.  Evidence  that  the  North 
( 'arolina  student  no  longer  looks  at  the  affairs  of  the 
great  world,  as  those  who,  standing  in  the  window 
of  a  castle  see  a  battle  and  the  adventures  thereof 
below,  is  "The  Range  Finder"  itself.  The  editorials, 
the  longer  articles,  and  the  sallies  of  wit,  entitled  2  l's 
are  notably  alive  to  the  momentous  issues  of  the 
present. 

Though  they  very  frequently  deal,  as  they  should, 
with  the  relation  of  men  in  college  to  these  issues. 
they  need  claim  little  indulgence  for  immaturity  of 
thought  or  style.  Once  set  up  in  print,  headed  and 
displayed  in  business-like  fashion,  these  "themes" 
have  to  a  surprising  degree  the  effect  of  the  real 
thing.  They  are  uniformly  good ;  some  of  them  are 
excellent.  In  such  contributions  as  C.  L.  Snyder's 
"The  Background  of  Our  Diplomatic  Reverse,"  T. 
E.  Rondthaler's  "The  Orient  Comes  into  its  Own," 
and  most  strikingly  in  Miss  Elizabeth  Lay's  "Spring 
Behind  the  Ruins,"  "The  Range  Finder"  has  most 
assuredly  found  the  range.

YACKETY  YACK  APPEARS 

The  Yackety  Yack  for  1918  appeared  late  in  May. 
In  modest  patriotic  dress,  the  book  lives  up  to  the 
high  reputation  of  former  publications  and  gives  a 


complete  record  of  the  college  year.  It  is  dedicated 
to  the  University  men  in  service,  and  the  military 
features  of  the  campus  are  especially  featured.  R. 
C.  deRossett  is  editor-in-chief  and  E.  A.  Griffin  and 
Walter  Feimster  are  business  managers. 


SUMMER  SCHOOL  OPENS 

The  present  session  of  the  Summer  School  opened 
June  13  with  every  indication  of  a  successful  term 
of  six  weeks.  Four  teachers'  institutes  of  ten  days 
each  will  he  conducted  during  this  time. 

The  registration  on  June  20  had  passed  the  500 
mark  ami  Director  Walker  thinks  the  total  attend- 
ance will  at  least  be  750,  which  compares  favorably 
with  the  attendance  last  year,  the  abnormal  condi- 
tions being  taken  into  consideration. 


MISS  BARTON  AND  LIEUTENANT  DYSART 
ARE    MARRIED 

A  marriage  of  special  interest  to  Chapel  Hill  and

Barton,  '17,  ami  Lieut.  John  ( ).  Dysart,  '16,  on  Fri-

the  322d  Infantry  as  an  instructor  in  musketry. 


COX'S  ARTILLERY  REACHES  FRANCE 

Press  notices  of  June  13th  carried  the  following 
information:  "Cox's  Artillery,"  headed  by  ex-Judge 
Albert  L.  Cox,  now  colonel  of  the  113th  North  Caro- 
lina, has  landed  in  France  according  to  a  cablegram 
tonight.  Many  Raleigh  boys  and  North  Carolinians 
generally  are  in  that  fighting  division,  and  they  go 
soon  into  battle. 


POWELL  CHOSEN  CAPTAIN 

Jack  Powell  was  unanimously  elected  captain  of 
the  baseball  team  for  next  year.  This  action  of  the 
team  followed  as  a  result  of  Powell's  good  work, 
both  as  pitcher  and  leading  batter  on  the  team  this 
year.  He  has  the  hearty  support  of  every  man  on 
and  off  the  team  and  with  five  or  six  letter  men  back 
next  .year  there  is  no  reason  why  Carolina  should 
not  go  over  the  top  in  baseball. 


The  Officers'  Training  Camp  of  the  University 
opened  its  six  weeks  term  at  the  Bingham  Military 
School  in  Asheville  on  June  14th.  Captain  J.  Stuart 
Allen  and  Professor  T.  F.  Hickerson,  of  the  Univer-

SIXTY-THREE    STUDENTS    MAKE    HONOR    GRADES 

The  honor  roll  of  the  University  for  the  past  term 
just  announced  by  the  registrar  shows  that  in  spite 
of  a  total  decrease  in  students  of  14  per  cent  for  the 
academic  year  as  compared  with  1916-17  session,  and 
the  natural  detractions  arising  from  the  prevailing 
abnormal  conditions,  scholarship  in  general  has  been 
far  better  than  in  recent  years. 

Sixty-three  students  from  the  four  academic 
classes  by  making  an  average  grade  of  "2"  or  better 
have  placed  themselves  on  the  honor  roll.  This  total 
is  made  up  of  16  from  the  senior  class.  L5  from  the 
junior  class,  12  from  the  sophomore  class  and  20 
from  the  freshman  class. 

This  record  by  far  eclipses  any  record  of  previous 
years.  Ten  students  made  all  "ones".  Over  25 
per  cent  of  the  senior  class  made  an  average  grade 
of  "2"  or  better. 

Miss  Maud  Carson,  of  Asheboro,  and  Miss  Lonisa 
Reid,  of  Lowell,  tied  for  honors  of  leading  the  senior 
class  in  scholarship,  both  making  all  ""ones".  The 
same  case  applies  to  J.  C.  Bynum,  of  Durham,  and 
I.  W.  Durham,  of  Charlotte,  of  the  junior  class. 
J.  L.  Cook,  id'  Winston-Salem,  led  the  sophomore 
class  with  all  "ones".  Five  men  in  the  freshman 
class  by  making  all  "ones"  tied  for  highest  honors, 
these  being  ('.  L.  G.  Ashby,  Raleigh;  C.  D.  Burns, 
Asheville;  J.  G.  Tucker,  Plymouth;  H.  A.  Patter-

WHERE'S    AVIATOR    BLUENTHENTHAL? 

J.  Allen  Taylor,  of  Wilmington,  today  wired  Sen- 
ator F.  M.  Simmons,  a  solicitous  message  concerning 
Arthur  Bluenthenthal,  a  former  Wilmington  citizen, 
who  has  been  reported  missing  from  the  aviation 
service  in  France.  Senator  Simmons  dispatched  a 
messenger  to  the  War  Deepartment  immediately,  but 
a  search  revealed  the  fact  that  he  was  not  with  the 
American  expeditionary  forces  abroad. 

The  telegram  from  Mr.  Taylor  stated  he  was  with 
the  French  Aviation  Service,  and  therefore  the  De- 
partment of  State  has  been  requested  to  supply  in- 
formation as  to  whether  any  mishap  has  occurred  to 
the   Wilmington   citizen. 

Arthur  Bluenthenthal  has  a  wide  identification  in 
North  Carolina,  especially  in  football  circles.  He 
was  one  of  the  trio.  "Doggie"  Trenchard,  Bluen- 
thenthal, and  Wilson,  that  started  the  rejuvenation 
of  football  material  at  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina. He  was  employed  as  coach  in  football,  when 
Princeton  football  tactics  were  predominant.  Bluen- 
thenthal   was   a    graduate  of   Princeton    University, 


and  made  a  fine  record  as  a  player  on  the  Tiger  team. 
"Doggie"  Trenchard  had  great  faith  in  the  football 
tutelage  of  "Blue"  and  the  two  had  much  in  common, 
close  set  to  the  ground,  stockily  built,  and  a  robust 
type  of  athletes. — S.  R.  Winters  in  the  News  and 
Observer  of  June  15.

GOV.  BICKETT  ADDRESSED  VETERANS 
Gov.  T.  W.  Bickett  addressed  the  veterans  of 
Chapel  Hill  and  surrounding  country  on  Saturday 
morning,  May  11th.  The  address  was  delivered 
in  Gerrard  Hall,  and  was  especially  attended  by  the 
Daughters  of  the  Confederacy  and  the  University 
Battalion.  Gov.  Bickett  was  introduced  by  Profes- 
sor Cain. 


Dr.  Kemp  P.  Battle  has  in  the  Kentucky  Law 
Review  an  answer  to  the  attacks  on  the  Supreme 
( 'ourt  of  the  United  States  by  Judge  Wannamaker. 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio,  charging  usurpation 
in  deciding  Acts  of  Congress  unconstitutional.  Dr. 
Battle  shows  that  it  is  plain  duty  of  the  Court 
under  the  Constitution,  and  that  the  contrary  doc- 
trine would  create  a  biennial  Congressional  des- 
potism. 


On  May  24th  Dr.  William  Cain  delivered  the  com- 
mencement address  to  the  cadets  of  the  Citadel  Mil-

of  the  class,  made  a  two-minute  talk  and  presented  James  A. 
Gray,  Jr.,  of  Winston-Salem,  secretary  and  treasurer.  Mr. 
Gray  read  statistics  showing  the  present  occupations  of  the 
fifty-five  living  graduates,  and  then,  requesting  President  Gra- 
lieiii  to  come  to  the  platform,  handed  him  a  check  for  $1,000. 
The  President  accepted  the  check  with  a  few  appropriate  re- 
marks, expressing  his  appreciation  and  that  of  the  University. 
In  addition  to  this,  the  class  in  1011  gave  $1110  towards  the 
erection  of  the  Confederate  monument.  Besides,  many  mem 
In  is  of  the  class  contribute  regularly  to  the  Alumni  Loyalty 
Fund. 

So  far  as  we  know,  this  is  the  only  class  which  has  regularly 
published  an  annual  bulletin  since  graduation.  The  bulletin 
has  done  much  to  keep  alive  interest  in  each  other  and  in  the 
University,  and  so  popular  has  it  proved  that,  at  a  business 
meeting  of  the  class  Monday  night,  it  was  voted  unanimously 
to  continue  its  publication. 

The  class  also  voted  unanimously  to  hold  another  reunion  in 
1923,  and  to  ask  each  member  to  contribute  not  less  than  $5 
a  year,  so  that  at  the  next  reunion  another  check  could  be 
given    to    the   University. 

In  recognition  of  his  fine  services  in  publishing  the  bulletin 


and  in  handling  the  class  funds,  James  A.  Gray,  Jr.,  was 
elected  president  for  five  years,  and  M.  Robins,  of  Greensboro, 
w^s  elected  secretary  and  treasurer. 

A  feature  that  added  much  to  the  joy  of  the  commencement 
for  '08  was  the  graduation  of  J.  H.  Coward,  of  Ayden.  Mr. 
Coward,  through  a  technicality,  failed  to  get  his  diploma  ten 
years  ago,  but  he  has  since  satisfied  the  requirements,  and  re- 
ceived his  sheepskin  Wednesday. 

The  statistics  read  by  Mr.  Gray  are  as  follows:  Teachers  14, 
lawyers  10,  insurance  4,  manufacturing  4,  army  4,  engineers  3, 
agriculture  3,  sales  representatives  3,  banking  2,  chemists  2, 
physicians  1,  journalism  1,  mercantilist  1,  ministry  1,  judge  1, 
municipal  officer  1,  died  2 ;   total  57.

France.      He  sent  a  special  letter  of  regret   at  his  inability  to 
lie  present  at  1917 's  reunion. 
Dear  Old  "   '17": 

I  had  hoped  to  be  at  our  one-year  reunion ;  but  instead  I  am 
lying  in  the  Mission  Hospital  with  a  very  badly  broken  leg, 
and  the  prospects  of  spending  the  summer  months  on  my  back. 
The  particulars  of  my  good  luck — I  call  it  good  luck  that  it 
was  no  worse — are :  A  few  mornings  ago  I  took  a  jitney  for 
Azalea  to  begin  work  there  on  the  government  reservation. 
Our  car  was  already  tilled,  but  about  half  way  to  Azalea  an 
old  man  asked  to  get  on.  There  was  no  place  for  him  except 
to  stand  on  the  step  at  the  rear  of  the  ear.  I  offered  him  my 
scat  and  stood  on  the  step  myself.  Just  as  we  were  Hearing 
Azalea,  another  car  ran  into  us.  The  old  man  was  saved,  but 
it  got  me.  The  doctors  can  't  tell  whether  my  leg  can  be  saved 
so  as  to  give  me  service.  Four  inches  of  bone  are  gone ;  so  at 
our  five-year  reunion  I  may  march  in  with  a  regular  old-fash- 
ioned wooden  leg  on.  If  such  be  the  ease,  and  I  do  have  a 
wooden  leg,  there  is  one  consolation,  I  '11  never  be  bothered 
with  that  corn  again. 

I  am  a  married  man  now  and  don't  regret  the  bargain.  My 
little  Missourian  and  I  are  just  as  happy  as  can  be.  I  '11  bring 
my  family  to  our  five-year  reunion. 

I  am  so  very  sorry  that  I  can 't  be  with  you  in  body,  but  I  '11 
be  right  there  in  spirit.  It  will  take  many  an  age  to  beat 
"1917." 

If  any  of  you  have  time,  write  me  a  line  to  7."i  Church  Street, 
Asheville,  X.  C.  It  will  do  lots  of  good.  This  note  is  written 
in  bed. 

Good  luck  and  best  wishes. 

One  of  the  band,

every  way.

statesmen,  historians,  and  leaders  of  Ameri- 
can thought  and  action.  The  selections  are

sources of  those  who  are  seeking  to  develop 
in  the  rising  generation  a  more  ardent  and 
more  intelligent  patriotism.

At  Commencement  1908  planked  down  $1,000. 

At  the  same  time  1918  pledged  $2,500. 

Still  others  from  various  classes,  before  starting  overseas,  wrote 
Carolina  into  their  wills. 


— 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."

now!

CY  THOMPSON  SENDS— 

To  his  friends  and  policyholders — wherever  they  may  be — warmest  greetings,  with  the 
hope  that  you  have  found,  at  home  or  abroad,  a  place  of  service  in  the  successful  prosecution  of 
the  Great  War. 

For  six  months  since  he  changed  his  "say,"  he  has  led  the  strenuous  life  of  a  civilian  man- 
ager of  a  Eegimental  Canteen  in  Camp  Sevier.  He  hopes  now  to  find  work  that  will  lead  to 
over-sea  duty.  But  be  assured  that  his  worthy  friend  and  General  Agent,  at  Raleigh,  stands 
ready  at  all  times  to  give  you  the  immediate  and  future  benefits  of  the  continued  superior  ser- 
vice of  the  old  New  England  Mutual. 

This  is  true  whether  you  may  be  interested  in  conserving  protection  now  in  force,  in 
buying  new  insurance,  or  in  making  an  agency  contract.  It's  a  good  time  to  tie  to  the  old,
