OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


HENDRIX 
STACY 


For  the  second  time  during  this  fateful  year  the 
University  has  experienced   the   loss   of   its   official 
head — this  time  in  the  death  of  Marvin 
MARVIN       Hendrix  Stacy,  Dean  of  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts  for  the  past  five  years  and 
Chairman  of   the   Faculty   since   Presi- 
dent Graham's  death  in  October. 

We  cannot  measure  the  loss  we  feel  in  the  going 
of  Dean  Stacy.  For  eighteen  years,  as  instructor, 
as  associate  professor  and  professor,  as  dean  and 
chairman  of  the  faculty,  he  has  been  so  intimately 
connected  with  the  life  of  the  University  that  his 
death  takes  out  of  it  collectively  and  individually 
something  which  we  had  imperceptibly  come  to  re- 
gard as  a  part — and  the  better  part,  too — of  our- 
selves. 

Dean  Stacy's  career  here  has  already  become  one  of 
rhe  fine  traditions  of  the  campus.  As  an  undergrad- 
uate he  stood  out  pre-eminently  as  a  man  of  ability 
and  power,  this  being  evidenced  by  the  honors  he 
\v(in  and  positions  he  held  in  student  life.  In  the 
class  room,  he  was  early  recognized  as  one  of  the  real 
teachers  of  the  University.  His  sympathy  with  the 
stiidents  taught  and  his  clarity  of  presentation  set 
him  apart  in  the  minds  of  the  student  body  as  a  great 
teacher.  In  the  role  of  dean,  he  became  the  loved 
adviser  of  the  men  upon  the  campus  in  all  that  per- 
tained to  their  conduct  as  a  body  of  self-governing- 
students,  and  in  the  faculty  his  counsel  and  leader- 
ship were  of  the  sort  that  won  from  his  colleagues  the 
highest  admiration  and  respect. 

And  similarly  in  the  University  commtmity  and 
the  State  at  large.  One  frequently  remarks  the  close- 
ness of  the  ties  which  bind  members  of  the  Univer- 
sity community  together.  Few  men  have  ever  been 
connected  with  the  University  who  have  been  more 
generally  esteemed  as  a  neighbor  and  citizen  than  he, 
and  the  correctness  of  his  judgments  and  his  fairness 
in  all  matters  of  private  or  public  concern  were  uni- 
versally conceded.  By  virtue  of  these  qualities, 
coupled  with  a  rare  eloquence  and  breadth  of  vision, 
he  was  also  constantly  sought  throughout  the  State 
as  a  speaker  and  leader  in  all  that  related  to  the  finer 
life  of  the  people. 

Strong  in  the  affection  of  the  campus  and  State, 


his  coming  to  the  headship  of  the  University  in  its 
hour  of  loss  brought  stability  and  assurance  for  the 
future,  and  under  his  leadership  the  University  was 
quickly  readjusting  itself  to  the  tasks  which  lay 
ahead.  Without  thought  of  self,  he  devoted  himself 
unreservedly  to  the  duties  of  his  office,  and  fell  at  his 
post  in  service  to  the. State  and  Nation. 

Again,  we  repeat,  that  in  the  going  of  this  fine, 
sympatJietic,  Christian  gentleman,  this  neighborly, 
approachable,  human  comrade,  who  walked  with  us 
in  the  path  of  service,  we  miss  an  indefinable,  better 
part  of  ourselves.

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  Ral- 
eigh on  January  28th,  Dr.  H.  W.  Chase,  Professor 
of    the    Philosophy    of    Education

pointed  chairman  of  the  faculty  to 
fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  death  of  Chairman  of 
the  Faculty  Stacy. 

Dr.  Chase  is  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  an  A.  B. 
graduate  of  Dartmouth  College  (1904),  and  received 
the  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy  from  Clark  Uni- 
versity in  1910.  During  his  nine  years  of  service  at 
the  University,  Dr.  Chase  has  been  closely  connected 
with  the  student  body,  has  contributed  frequently  to 
University  and  other  scholarly  publications,  and  has 
been  recognized  as  a  teacher  of  unusual  scholarship 
and  ability.  He  has  been  especially  valuable  to  the 
University  as  a  member  of  the  faculties  of  the  School 
of  Education  and  the  Summer  School  and  as  an  ac- 
ceptable speaker  on  educational  and  social  subjects 
throughout  the  State. 

Upon  the  death  of  President  Graham  he  was  ap- 
pointed acting  dean.  He  becomes  the  official  head 
of  the  University  with  the  full  confidence  of  his  col- 
leagues.  '  ^^^

THE      ALUMNI      REVIEW 


terest  of  the  Students'  Activities  Building  as  a  mem- 
orial to  the  late  President  Graham.  If  for  any  rea- 
son the  letter  failed  to  reach  you,  take  this  opportun- 
ity to  read  it  and  act  on  the  suggestions  contained 
in  it. 

You,  with  the  rest  of  us,  have  felt  since  leaving  the 
University  a  loyalty  and  devotion  for  your  Alma 
Mater  that  wanted  to  express  itself  in  terms  of  ap- 
preciation for  her  service.  You  have  felt  with  the 
rest  of  us  in  recent  days  the  pride  of  connection 
with  and  partnership  in  an  institution  that  has 
served  the  entire  State  of  North  Carolina  in  a  way 
that  has  called  forth  the  approval  and  applause  of 
all.  And  now  that  the  death  of  President  Graham 
has  lost  to  us  the  matchless  leadership  which  was 
serving  the  State  through  the  State's  University,  our 
Alma  Mater,  all  the  sons  of  Carolina  are  drawn  to- 
gether as  men  who  have  experienced  a  common  loss ; 
and  we  feel  a  renewed  impulse  to  express  our  loy- 
alty and  love  in  terms  of  practical  service. 

The  enclosed  booklet  opens  to  us  the  opportunity 
to  say  what  we  think  of  the  service  President  Gra- 
ham rendered  to  our  entire  State  through  our  Alma 
Mater ;  to  write  ourselves  into  a  memorial  which,  like 
the  man,  will  continue  to  serve  every  county  and 
every  community  in  North  Carolina  as  it  sends  its 
sous  to  the  University.  The  Student  .\ctivities 
Building  is  endorsed  by  the  Faculty  and  Trustees  of 
the  University,  and  by  a  committee  at  large  from  the 
State.  No  more  fitting  memorial  can  be  erected  to 
the  man  and  no  greater  constructive  service  can  be 
rendered  to  our  Alma  Mater. 

May  I  not,  therefore,  urge  you  (1)  to  give  this 
matter  the  thoughtful  consideration  it  merits  and  the 
most  generous  response  you  feel  able  to  make ;  ( 2 )  to 
seek  out  the  director  of  the  campaign  in  your  com- 
munity, offer  him  your  co-operation,  and  throw  be- 
hind the  campaign  the  weight  of  your  influence  and 
support;  (3)  to  make  it  a  point  to  interest  others  in 
this  cause  which  is  big  enough  to  appeal  to  all.

The  response  of  the  student  body  to  tlie  Graham 

Memorial  (we  stop  the  press  to  insert  a  note  about 

the  local  campaign)  has  been  splen-

RESPONDS  tention   and   the  geneious  giving   of 

SPLENDIDLY  i'H  alumni.  Four  hundred  and  fif- 
teen men  seen  on  the  first  night  of 
the  campaig-n  subscribed  $14,500  and  the  goal  aimed 
at  is  $25,000.  One  student  handed  Secretary  Coates 
a  check  for  $500  and  fifteen  seniors  in  one  group 
pledged  themselves  for  $1,500.  Several  students 
subscribed  $200  each.  Many  men  working  their  way 
through  college  contributed  in  large  amounts,  there- 
by making  real  sacrifices. 


In  the  President's  Keport  for  1917  the  late  Presi- 
dent Graham  spoke  as  follows:     "In  April,   1917, 

came  America's  entry  in  the  great  world 
ANNUAL  e     .      J!  ■      -n 

REPORT       war:  a  lact  ol  supreme  significance  to 

the  University,  as  to  every  vital  institu- 
tion in  the  Nation.  Obviously  it  means  great  sacri- 
fices ;  but  it  means  also  rich  compensations  and  great 
new  responsibilities.  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  beginning  of  a  new  era  in  its  development  as 
clearly  separated  from  the  fifty  years  that  followed 
the  Civil  War  as  that  period  is  from  the  fifty  years 
that  preceded." 

The  accuracy  of  this  statement  is  abundantly  borne 
out  by  the  reports  for  1918  of  the  various  officers  of 
the  University  recently  appearing  under  the  title 
"The  Eeport  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Faculty."  For, 
while  the  reports  are  similar  in  many  respects  to 
those  of  preceding  years,  every  one  views  the  work  of 
the  University  from  a  new  angle,  and  a  new  attitude 
towards  the  future  is  presented  on  every  page.  The 
University  of  1918  was  greatly  different  from  that  of 
former  years,  and  the  new  spirit  which  entered 
with  the  coming  of  the  war  has  in  many  important 
respects  come  to  stay. 

'  nnn 

A  careful  reading  of  the  reports  inevitably  leads  to 

the  discovery  of  several  important  recurring  themes. 

First  of  all  there  is  the  admission  that 
RECURRING      ,,       •  ...  .  .,., 

„„_,._„  the   imposition  oi  a  military  regime 

upon  the  academic  made  stock-taking 
a  necessity.  Every  department  and  every  instructor 
had  to  meet  a  new  situation  created  by  the  war,  and 
in  doing  this  made  a  new  appraisal  of  the  value  of 
courses  and  methods  of  the  past.  In  the  second  place 
there  is  the  expression  of  belief  that  much  is  to  be 
gained  by  the  intensification  of  courses  and  improve- 
ment of  instruction.  Wherever  a  higher  grade  of 
instruction  can  be  secured,  it  is  recognized  that  it  is 
incumbent  vipon  the  University  to  secure  it.  The 
value  of  physical  well-being  is  especially  emphasized, 
and  the  inclusion  in  the  curriculum  of  additional 
courses  in  the  social  sciences  ami  in  business  and 
commerce  is  repeatedly  urged. 

nnn 

Definite  growth  of  the  University  in  a  number  of 
important  particulars  is  also  evidenced.     The  phy- 
sical plant  is  now  valued  at  $1,200,-

Ijrary  contained  83,151  volumes  on  August  15th, 
which,  together  with  the  10,000  titles  acquired  in  the 
purchase  of  the  Weeks  Collection  and  the  regular 
additions  to  date,  brings  the  collection  near  the  goal 
of  100,000  volumes.  In  scholarly  and  popular  pub- 
lications high  records  were  established  during  the 
year.  Studies  in  PhiJologij  and  The  Journal  of  the 
Elislia  Mitchell  Scientific  Society  were  especially  dis- 
tinctive, and  the  High  School  Journal  and  the  Ex- 
lension  Lcaflfls — both  new  publications — won  high 
recognition  throughout  the  entire  country.  Refer- 
ence to  the  list  of  publications  and  addresses  of  mem- 
bers of  the  facultj'  evidences  participation  by  the 
University  in  the  affairs  of  the  learned  societies  of 
the  country  and  an  especially  vital  interest  in  the 
public  welfare  of  ISTorth  Carolina.  Throughout  its 
entirety,  the  complete  report  shows  that  the  Univer- 
sity is  alert,  adaptable,  and  that  it  is  functioning  in  a 
large,  beneficial  way  in  the  life  of  the  State  and 
!N^ation. 

Last  year  The  Review  took  special  occasion  to 
present  the  important  recommendations  appearing  in 
the  individual  reports  in  order  that 
the  alumni  might  know  what  plans  the 
University  is  maturing  for  the  future. 
Specific  recommendations  presented  to  the  Trustees 
in  the  report  by  Chairman  of  the  Faculty  Stacy  in- 
cluded the  following:  Provision  for  the  establish- 
ment of  a  School  of  Commerce  and  Business  through 
which  the  young  men  and  women  of  I^orth  Carolina 
and  the  South  would  have  an  opportuntity  to  equip 
themselves  for  efficient  participation  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  country's  industries ;  the  appointment  of 
a  Director  of  Music  to  have  charge  of  the  various 
musical  organizations  now  on  the  campus  and  to 
offer  courses  of  a  cultural  value  in  the  history  and 
appreciation  of  music;  the  appointment  of  a  Health 
Officer  to  have  charge  of  the  University  Infirmary, 
to  supervise  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  health  and 
housing  of  the  student  body,  and  to  assist  the  Uni- 
versity in  its  work  in  the  interest  of  public  health 
throughout  the  State;  the  appointment  of  a  Publica- 
tions Editor  to  systematize  the  Inisiness  management 
of  the  various  publications  issued  by  the  University 
and  to  have  oversight  of  the  news  service  of  the  Uni- 
versity; and  better  provision  for  the  comfort  and 
welfare  of  women  students  and  the  erection  of  a  wo- 
man's building  in  the  near  future. 

Recommendations  appearing  in  the  reports  of  the 
other  officers  included :  the  addition  of  instructors  in 
the  School  of  Law  and  the  provision  of  a  three-year 
law  course;  the  addition  of  instructors  and  equip- 


ment in  the  School  of  Medicine;  the  provision  of  a 
recitation  building,  a  building  for  the  Department 
of  Geology,  and  the  enlargement  of  the  Chemical 
Laboratory;  the  utilization  of  the  entire  first  floor  of 
the  Alumni  Building  for  administrative  ofiice  pur- 
poses ;  the  development  of  the  work  of  the  Bureau  of 
Extension ;  the  installation  of  additional  stack  in  the 
Library;  the  addition  of  instructors  in  the  School 
of  Education  and  the  further  development  of  the 
Summer  School ;  and  the  grading  and  improvement 
of  the  grounds  east  of  Caldwell  Hall.

As  indicated  in  the  legislative  information  appear- 
ing in  the  State  press,  the  University  has  presented 

„  ,  the  General  Assemblv  with  a  pro- 

OUR  BIENNIAL  ,  ..."  ,^     , 

REOITEST  gram    oi    activities    contempfated 

for  1919-21  calling  for  an  annual 
maintenance  fund  of  $215,000.  As  already  stated, 
a  large  part  of  this  increased  income  is  intended  to 
cover  the  cost  of  the  proposed  School  of  Commerce, 
the  enlargement  of  the  Law  School,  the  appointment 
of  Directors  of  Health  and  Music,  the  development 
of  the  Bureau  of  Extension,  and  other  objects  em- 
phasized in  the  recommendations  of  the  Chairman  of 
the  Faculty  and  other  officers.  The  program  has 
been  well  thought  out,  the  request  is  moderate,  and 
if  the  increased  maintenance  is  granted  there  is 
every  assurance  that  it  will  yield  definite  returns 
to  the  State  of  Xorth  Cai'olina. 

nnn 

After  two  years  of  cessation  in  major  athletics, 
the  question  of  college  athletic  activities  has  again 
Ijcen  brought  to  the  front.  As  a  result 
of  military  training,  the  idea  of  keep- 
ing students  in  fine  physical  condition  has  been  gTeat- 
ly  emphasized,  and  the  value  of  their  participation 
in  some  sort  of  setting-up  exercises  or  outdoor  ath- 
letics has  been  distinctly  apparent.  With  the  passing 
of  military  training  and  the  return  to  normal  con- 
ditions, there  is  great  danger  that  the  American  col- 
leges will  lose  sight  of  this  value  and  will  permit 
the  return  to  the  old  order  in  which  a  few  men 
starred  on  the  varsity  organizations,  while  the  greater 
part  of  the  student  body  stood  on  the  side  lines  at  a 
distance  and  watched. 

While  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  intercollegiate  athletic 
relations  on  the  part  of  Carolina  will  continue  to  be 
of  very  great  interest,  it  is  at  the  same  time  to  be 
hoped  that  the  athletic  management  will  make  pro- 
vision for  the  participation  of  every  student  in  some 
phase  of  athletic  endeavor.  The  student  body  of 
Carolina  needs  all  that  can  be  given  it  in  the  way  of

physical  development,  and  complete  apparatus  and 
athletic  grounds  should  be  provided  to  this  end.  Un- 
questionably it  is  desirable  to  carry  out  a  fine  in- 
tercollegiate athletic  program  under  the  leadership 
of  fine  directors,  such  as  Mr.  Campbell  proved  to  be, 
but  it  is  none  the  less  desirable  that  provision  be 
made  for  every  student  on  the  campus  to  participate 
in  all  such  athletic  activities  as  will  insure  him  recre- 
ation from  his  daily  routine  and  the  building  of  a 
well-developed,  efficient  body.  The  war  has  given  us 
the  opportunity  to  see  the  athletic  activities  of  the 
past  in  perspective,  and  we  should  be  able  to  act 
wisely  in  accord  wth  the  experience  gained  in  this 
way.

CALENDAR  NOW    mencement,   June   14-18.     Every 

alumnus  realizes  that  with  the 
death  of  President  Graham  and  Dean  Stacy  the  Uni- 
versity has  sufi'ered  an  inconceivably  great  loss.  He 
also  realizes  that  the  military  regime  and  the  de- 
mands of  the  present  hour  have  left  their  profound 
impress  upon  the  campus.  He  cannot  escape  the  con- 
viction that  Alma  Mater  needs  every  bit  of  the  sup- 
port and  comfort  that  comes  from  the  counsel  and 
presence  of  her  sons  here  upon  the  campus. 

It  is  for  this  larger  purpose,  this  purpose  of  chart- 
ing the  course  for  the  future  and  of  bringing  strength 
to  the  institution  in  its  hour  of  supreme  trial,  that 
we  issue  the  call  to  one  and  all  to  come  back  home 
for  a  day  or  two  at  least,  and  let's  take  counsel  for 
the  days  ahead.     Mark  your  calendar  now ! 


CAROLINA   PLAYMAKERS   ORGANIZED 

"The  Carolina  Playmakers"  is  the  name  of  a  new 
organization  at  the  University  which  promises  to 
take  on  State-wide  significance  and  influence.  The 
organization,  according  to  proposed  plans,  will  be 
the  center  of  a  movement  in  a  new  field  for  North 
Carolinians — the  field  of  community  drama.  Pro- 
fessor Frederick  H.  Koch,  of  the  department  of 
Dramatic  Literature,  explained  the  purpose  of  the 
new  organization  at  a  lecture  to  the  faculty,  students 
and  townspeople  on  January  24,  the  lecture  being  il- 
lustrated with  lantern  slides  of  original  plays  staged 
in  the  northwest.  Professor  Koch  has  been  doing- 
experimental  work  in  folk  drama  in  the  University 
of  North  Dakota  for  the  past  thirteen  years.  His 
work  in  that  section  of  the  country  has  received  na- 
tional recognition  by  leading  dramatic  and  literary 
critics.  He  is  a  new-comer  at  the  University,  having 
joined  the  faculty  last  fall.  His  work  in  the  field  of 
community  drama  at  the  North  Dakota  University 
not  only  met  with  unprecedented  success,  but  be- 
came the  nucleus  of  a  great  movement  that  has  spread 
and  taken  root  throughout  a  great  section  of  the 
northwest  and  beyond. 

The  prime  purpose  of  the  organization  will  be  the 
production  of  original  plays  dealing  with  North  Car- 
olina life  and  people,  and  the  promotion  of  such  play- 
making  in  North  Carolina.  This  work  will  be  car- 
ried on  in  connection  with  the  department  of  Com- 
munity Drama  and  the  University  Extension  Bureau 
and  the  Carolina  Playmakers  will  present  programs 
of  original  representative  plays  throughout  the  State. 

North  Carolina,  Professor  Koch  thinks,  is  richly 
endowed  both  with  varied  and  interesting  human 
types;  it  is  as  yet  a  pioneer  State  whose  greatest  de- 
velopment is  to  come — a  State  that  offers  an  un- 
rivalled opportunity  for  the  production  of  a  big  new 
play — a  drama  of  the  people.  With  the  University 
as  a  center  it  is  thought  that  this  new  movement  will 
spread  throughout  the  State  and  attain  a  national 
significance. 


LAW  BANQUET 

Chief  Justice  Walter  Clark,  of  the  North  Carolina 
Supreme  Court,  was  the  principal  speaker  and  honor 
gniest  at  the  annual  banquet  of  the  law  class  held 
January  31.  Professors  L.  P.  McGehee,  A.  C.  Mc- 
intosh, and  P.  H.  Winston,  of  the  law  faculty,  were 
on  the  speech-making  program  proper,  while  Mrs. 
I.  O.  T.  Emory,  Silas  Lucas,  Norman  Boren,  and 
Albert  Oettinger  were  student  representatives  to  re- 
spond with  pithy  talks.

MARVIN  HENDRIX  STACY 


Marvin  Hendrix  Stacy,  instructor,  professor,  dean 
of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  for  the  past  five  years 
and  chairman  of  the  University  faculty  since  the 
passing  of  the  late  President  Graham  last  October, 
died  at  his  home  her(>  on  Tuesday,  January  21,  from 
influenza  and  complications,  following  an  illness  of 


eight  days.  Thus  the  second  official  head  of  the 
University  has  been  claimed  by  the  prevailing  epi- 
demic, and  the  University  and  State  again  mourn 
the  loss  of  a  leader  whose  place  is  not  easily  filled. 

Marvin  Hendrix  Stacy,  the  son  of  a  Methodist 
minister,  the  Rev.  L.  E.  Stacy,  of  Shelby,  who  sur- 
vives, was  born  41  years  ago  in  Burke  county.  After 
preparatory  training  he  entered  the  University  and 
received  his  Ph.  B.  degree  in  1002. 

A  Leader  in  Undergraduate  Days 

In  his  undergraduate  days  Professor  Stacy  was  a 
leading  influential  character  in  the  life  of  the  cam- 
pus, being  readily  recognized  as  a  moulder  of  stiident 
thought  and  sentiment.  He  found  his  chief  interest 
in  extra-curriculum  activities  in  debating  and  puldic 
speaking,  but  was  a  scholar  above  all,  as  his  election 
to  membership  in  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  national 
honorary  scholarship  society  clearly  demonstrated. 
He  was  president  of  his  graduating  class  and  a  win- 
ner of  the  much  coveted  Willie  P.  Mangiuu  Medal. 
Pre-eminently   a   Teacher 

Professor  Stacy  was  pre-eminently  a  teacher.  Fol- 
lowing graduation  he  was  appointed  instructor  in 


Mathematics,  remaining  continuously  in  the  service 
of  the  University  with  the  exception  of  two  years 
spent  at  Cornell. 

From  the  outset,  his  career  as  a  teacher  was  mark- 
ed by  steady  progress.  He  was  instructor  in  mathe- 
matics from  1902-06,  receiving  the  !M.  A.  degree  in 
1904;  was  a  student  at  Cornell  University  in  1905, 
1906,  1911 ;  was  associate  professor  of  engineering 
from  1906  to  1910,  when  he  was  made  professor  of 
civil  engineering.  His  ability  and  sound  judgment 
were  signally  recognized  by  the  late  President  Gra- 
ham who  appointed  him  acting  dean  of  the  College  of 
Liberal  Arts  when  the  former  became  acting  presi- 
dent in  1913.  His  elevation  to  the  position  of  dean 
came  the  following  year.  At  President  Graham's 
death  Dean  Stacy  became  chairman  of  the  faculty 
and  hence  acting  president.  Every  member  of  the 
faculty  placed  the  highest  sort  of  estimate  upon  his 
judgment,  which  was  always  accepted  as  fair  and 
sound.  He  enjoyed  the  full  respect  and  esteem  of 
this  body  of  his  colleagues. 

Administers  Student  Discipline 

While  dean  he  administered  student  discipline  in 
a  way  that  won  for  him  the  love  and  admiration  of 
the  entire  student  body.  "He  took  the  common- 
sense  view  that  there  was  only  one  rule  to  be  en- 
forced— the  rule  of  good  citizenship.  The  same  laws 
obtained  on  the  campus  as  elsewhere  in  ITorth  Caro- 
lina. He  required  that  the  students  show  the  same 
sort  of  interest  in  their  work  that  the  faculty  showed 
in  theirs.  The  faculty  member,  he  held,  and  said, 
was  merely  an  older  stvident,  and  both  teacher  and 
pupil  sought  a  common  object  in  truth." 

Popular  as  Speaker 
Dean  Stacy  was  perhaps  the  best  kngwn  member 
of  the  faculty  in  the  community  and  in  Orange 
county.  He  was  intensely  and  whole-heartedly  in- 
terested in  all  matters  relating  to  civic  pride  and 
community  welfare.  While  it  was  chiefly  through 
his  college  work  that  Professor  Stacy  was  best  knowTi 
to  the  people  of  the  State,  he  has  ever  been  in  great 
demand  as  a  public  speaker  and  has  gone  into  every 
section  of  the  State  in  the  interest  of  popular  educa- 
tion, speaking  for  the  most  part  on  subjects  pertain- 
ing to  better  schools,  roads,  churches,  and  like  mat- 
ters relating  to  community  development.  For  some- 
time Dean  Stacy  addressed  the  Bible  class  of  the 
local  Methodist  Sunday  School  every  Sunday  morn- 
ine-,  and  the  large  rearular  attendance  at  each  meeting 
gave  concrete  evidence  of  his  hold  on  the  student 
body  and  community.

Stacy  were  vitally  interested  in  all  matters  pertain- 
ing to  the  community,  tlie  latter  being-  president  of 
the  Chapel  Hill  Community  Club  at  one  time.  The 
other  immediate  relatives  surviving  are  his  father,

Interment    at    Chapel    Hill 

The  funeral  of  Dean  Stacy  was  held  at  2  o'clock 
on  Wednesday  afternoon,  Jan.  22,  interment  being 
made  in  the  local  cemetery.  A  service  was  con- 
ducted for  the  family  at  the  residence,  followed  by  a 
short  service  at  the  grave,  Eev.  Euclid  McWhorter 
officiating.     Simplicity  and  beauty,  which  breathed 


throughout  the  life  of  Dean  Stacy,  marked  the  burial 
rites. 

The  following  were  the  active  and  honorary  pall- 
bearers: Honorary — Governor  Thomas  W.  Bickett, 
Lieut.  Gov.  0.  Max  Gardner,  Prof.  Eugene  C.

ant-Governor Gardner,  Dorman  Thompson,  G.  V. 
Cowpcr,  and  J.  A.  Brown,  assisted  in  the  burial 
ceremony. 

The  presence  of  hundreds  of  students,  friends  and 
alumni  and  the  protusion  of  wreaths  and  beautiful 
floral  offerings  at  the  grave  plainly  bespoke  the  high 
esteem  and  affection  in  which  Dean  Stacv  was  held. 


IMPORTANT  TRUSTEE  MEETING 


The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  had  its 
regular  meeting  in  Ealeigh  on  January  2Sth,  1919. 
The  meeting  was  largely  attended,  the  Governor  pre- 
siding. 

The  matter  exciting  most  general  interest,  of 
course,  was  the  question  of  the  Presidency  of  the 
University.  The  Board,  after  carefully  considering 
the  situation,  determined  not  to  go  into  an  election 
at  that  time,  but  to  appoint  a  coimnittee  to  investi- 
gate the  qualifications  of  those  whose  names  have 
been  suggested  and  any  others  whom  the  committee 
might  consider  favorably,  and  to  report  their  find- 
ings to  the  Board  as  early  as  possible.  The  Governor 
appointed  as  members  of  this  committee  Messrs. 
Eichard  H.  Lewis,  of  Ealeigh,  Chairman;  Victor  S. 
Bryant,  of  Durham ;  W.  N.  Everett,  of  Eockingham ; 
George  Stephens,  of  Charlotte;  and  Charles  Whed- 
bee,  of  Hertford.  This  committee  is  instructed  to 
make  its  report  to  the  Governor  as  early  as  possible 
and  the  Governor,  upon  receiving  it,  will  call  a  spe- 
cial meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  act  upon  it. 
In  the  meantime,  as  a  temporary  arrangement  for 
administering  the  affairs  of  the  University,  the 
Board  elected  Dr.  H.  W.  Chase,  Professor  of  Psy- 
chology, Chairman  of  the  Faculty. 

The  report  of  the  late  Dean  Stacy,  Chairman  of 
the  Faculty,  together  with  his  budget  for  the  next 


two  years,  was  laid  before  the  Board  and  thoroughly 
discussed.  All  of  his  recommendations,  embracing  a 
school  of  commerce,  a  directorship  of  music,  the  ex- 
pansion of  the  Law  Department,  provision  for  the 
better  care  of  women  students,  the  appointment  of  a 
health  ofticer,  and  the  appointment  of  a  publication 
editor,  wei-e  adopted.  The  budget  was  also  approved, 
and  the  Legislative  Committee  of  the  Board  was  in- 
structed to  present  it  to  the  General  Assembly. 

Other  matters  of  interest  which  came  before  the 
Board  were  the  naming  of  the  new  Applied  Science 
Building  the  Phillips  Building,  in  honor  of  Profes- 
sor James  Phillips,  Professor  of  Mathematics  and 
Xatural  Philosophy,  1826-1867;  Professor  Charles 
Phillips,  Professor  of  Engineering  and  Mathematics, 
1854-1868  and  1875-79,  and  Professor  William  Bat- 
tle Phillips,  Professor  of  Agricultural  Chemistry 
and  Mining,  1885-1888;  the  adoption  of  resolutions 
in  memory  of  the  late  President  Graham;  and  the 
appointment  of  a  committee  to  prepare  resolutions 
in  memory  of  the  late  Dean  Stacy. 

The  following,  whose  terms  as  members  of  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  had  expired,  were  re-elected  to 
succeed  themselves:  Messrs.  E.  H.  Lewis,  Charles 
Lee  Smith,  Charles  Whedbee,  James  S.  Manning, 
and  Francis  D.  Winston.  Dr.  E.  C.  Brooks,  who  as

GRAHAM  MEMORIAL  LAUNCHED  ON  CAMPUS 


Just  as  The  Review  goes  to  press  Secretary 
Coates  announces  that  $20,000  have  been  subscribed 
by  Carolina  students  to  the  Graham  Memorial  fund 
as  the  result  of  a  well  attended  mass  meeting  of  the 
student  body  held  on  the  13th  and  a  campus  canvass 
which  followed  immediately  afterwards.  At  this 
time  many  canvassers  have  not  turned  in  their  re- 
ports and  consequently  the  total  student  subscription 
is  expected  to  reach  $25,000.  The  results  of  the 
campaign  thus  launched  on  the  campus  are  heralded 
as  a  strong  challenge  to  the  people  of  the  State  to 
push  toward  the  set  goal  of  $150,000.  The  contri- 
butions made  by  the  students  range  from  $25  to 
$500  and  include  practically  every  man  in  the  Uni- 
versity. To  Charles  E.  Kistler,  a  student  from  Mor- 
ganton,  goes  the  honor  of  subscribing  the  largest  sum, 
his  contribution  amounting  to  $500.  Many  students 
who  are  working  their  way  through  college  made 
large  contributions.  Several  students  subscribed 
$200  each.  The  first  night's  canvass  resulted  in  a 
total  subscription  of  $14,500  from  only  415  men 
seen  out  of  the  student  body  of  over  800,  an  average 
of  $35  each. 

Albert  M.  Coates,  Executive  Secretary  to  the 
fund,  presided  over  the  mass  meeting  which  pre- 
ceded the  canvass.  He  happily  introduced  repre- 
sentative students  who  responded  with  short  and 
snappy  talks  regarding  the  purpose  of  the  campaign. 

"The  trustees  of  the  University,  the  faculty,  the 
alumni,  and  the  rest,  in  the  effort  to  devise  a  mem- 
orial which  would  express  at  the  same  time  the  love 
we  had  for  President  Graham  and  our  interest  in 
the  University  in  a  practical  way,  decided  that  it 
should  be  a  building  which  would  gather  into  it  all 
the  fine,  free  spirit  of  this  campus  through  the  men 
who  make  it  what  it  is  and  the  organizations  and 
activities  which  tliey  have  built  up ;  a  building  which 


would  be  a  recognition  and  an  approval  of  the  stu- 
dent initiative  and  self-reliance  and  power  which 
President  Graham  did  so  much  to  encourage  and 
promote;  a  Student  Activities  Building  to  be  known 
as  the  Graham  Memorial,"  Mr.  Coates  declared  in 
his  introductory  address. 

In  commenting  on  the  results  of  the  student  cam- 
paign and  its  significance  to  the  people  of  the  State, 
Secretary  Coates  speaks  in  part  thus : 

"The  response  of  the  student  body  indicates  the 
big  terms  in  which  even  the  students  think  of  this 
movement.  It  is  a  stirring  statement  of  their  ap- 
preciation of  President  Graham.  It  reveals  in  a 
vital  way  the  distinct  need  on  the  campus  for  this 
sort  of  memorial  building.  The  deep  interest  in  the 
welfare  of  the  University  which  it  represents  will 
always  be  a  memorial  in  itself  to  the  efforts  of  Pres- 
ident Graham  to  draw  not  only  the  student,  but  all 
men,  into  a  partnership  in  building  up  an  institu- 
tion which  would  grip  the  imagination  of  men  and 
challenge  the  support  of  North  Carolina. 

"It  is  a  challenge  to,  the  interest  and  the  loyalty 
of  the  alumni.  It  is  a  challenge  to  all  public  spirited 
men  who  are  interested  in  the  work  and  in  the  de- 
velopment of  their  State  University.  It  is  an  appeal 
to  every  community  that  is  represented  in  the  Uni- 
versity  student   body." 

The  campaign  was  launched  over  the  State  gen- 
erally on  February  10th,  although  the  exact  date 
for  starting  the  movement  in  the  various  commun- 
ities is  being  determined  by  the  local  directors.  Lo- 
cal directors  are  being  appointed  in  every  commun- 
ity in  the  State  and  the  work  of  organization  is  con- 
tinuing at  a  rapid  rate.  Reports  being  received  are 
exceedingly  encouraging  and  indicate  that  the  cam- 
paign will  be  vigorously  and  speedily  pushed  to 
success.

sages called  forth  by  the  death  of  Dean  Stacy  indi- 
cate the  appreciation  and  high  esteem  in  which  the 
University's  late  official  head  was  held. 
Resolutions  of  the  Faculty 

The  faculty  deeply  feels  the  loss  of  its  colleague 
and  official  head,  Marvin  Hendrix  Stacy.  As  in- 
structor, professor,  dean,  and  chairman  of  the  fac- 
ulty, he  was  recognized  as  a  man  of  great  ability, 
both  as  a  teacher  and  executive.  His  influence  upon 
the  University  in  its  upbuilding  and  guidance  has 
been  most  helpful  and  he  will  be  greatly  missed  in 
its  councils  and  in  all  matters  that  concern  its  wel- 
fare. 

Quiet  in  manner,  utterly  unselfish,  he  was  strong 
and  wise  in  action.  He  had  the  love  and  respect  of 
the  students  and  the  admiration  and  affection  of  his 
colleagues.  Clear,  convincing  and  eloqiient  as  a 
speaker,  he  was  a  power  for  good  in  the  University 
and  the  State,  doing  in  this  way  a  large  and  import- 
ant work  in  bringing  the  University  and  its  work  to 
the  attention  of  the  people  whom  it  serves. 

Loyal,  true,  eminently  just,  sympathetic  and  con- 
siderate of  others,  he  was  in  the  highest  sense  a  Chris- 
tian gentleman.  We  mourn  his  death  and  extend  our 
heartfelt  sympathy  to  his  familv. — Louis  R.  Wilson,

Resolutions  of  the  Student  Body 

Whereas,  An  all-wise  God  has  seen  fit  to  take 
from  our  midst.our  beloved  friend  and  teacher,  Mar- 
vin Hendrix  Stacy,  and 


Whereas,  Feeling  that  to  the  whole  stiident  body 
he  has  ever  been  a  kind  friend  and  wise  counsellor, 
and 

Whereas,  To  all  of  us  singly  and  together,  he  has 
been  a  generous  spirit,  easy  of  access,  sympathetic 
in  understanding,  whole  hearted  in  devotion  to  us, 
and 

Whereas,  He  has  sacrificed  his  all  to  serve  his  and 
our  dear  Alma  Mater,  toiling  tirelessly  and  unselfish- 
ly to  serve  her  in  these  recent  days. 

Be  it  therefore  resolved.  That  the  above  convey 
our  heartfelt  sympathy  to  his  family  and  serve  as  a 
sincere  expression  of  the  sentiment  of  the  whole  stu- 
dent body  of  the  University. — L.  H.  Hodges,  Senior

Resolutions  of  the  General  Assembly 

The  i^orth  Carolina  State  Senate  paid  tribute 
to  the  late  Prof.  Marvin  H.  Stacy,  adjourning  out 
of  respect  to  his  memory  and  adopting  the  following- 
resolutions  : 

"The  General  Assembly  of  North  Carolina,  having 
heard  with  profound  regret  of  the  death  of  Professor 
Marvin  Hendrix  Stacy,  Professor  of  Civil  Engineer- 
ing and  Chairman  of  the  Faculty  of  the  LTniversity 
of  North  Carolina,  who  died  at  his  home  in  Chapel 
Hill  on  Tuesday,  Jan.  21,  1919,  is  desirous  of  ex- 
jjressing  its  sense  of  the  loss  whicli  the  University 
and  State  have  thereby  sustained. 

"A  graduate  of  the  University  and  for  sixteen 
years  a  member  of  its  faculty.  Professor  Stacy  had 
risen  from  the  position  of  instructor  in  mathematics 
to  that  of  professor  of  civil  engineering  and  dean  of 
the  College  of  Liberal  Arts,  and  had  fulfilled  the  sev- 
eral triists  which  had  been  committed  to  him  with 
such  eft'iciency  and  fidelity  to  duty  as  to  win  the 
complete  confidence  of  students,  faculty  and  trus- 
tees. Upon  the  death  of  the  late  President  Edward 
Kidder  Graham,  he  was  at  once  placed  in  charge  of 
the  administration  of  the  affairs  of  the  University 
as  chairman  of  the  faculty,  which  position  at  the 
time  of  his  death  he  was  filling  with  great  ability 
and  promise.     Therefore,  be  it 

"Resolved,  by  the  Senate,  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives concurring.  That  in  the  death  of  Profes- 
sor Stacy  the  University  and  the  State  have  lost  a 
public  servant  whose  career  marked  him  as  a  teacher 
endowed  with  high  powers  of  inspiration,  as  a  coun- 
sellor of  sound  judgment,  and  as  a  man  of  high  and 
lofty  ideals  of  service  and  broad,  liberal  sympathies. 

"Resolved,  further,  That  these  resolutions  be 
spread  upon  the  journals  of  the  Senate  and  the 
House  of  Representatives  as  a  testimonial  of  the  hii;h 
esteem  in  whicli  the  people  of  North  Carolina  held

"Kesolved,  third,  That  the  Secretary  of  State  have

Resolutions  of  Sympathy 

"Whereas,  The  members  of  the  Senate  have  heard 
with  sincerest  sorrow  of  the  death  of  Prof.  M.  H. 
Stacy,  chairman  of  the  faculty  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina,  and  brother  of  our  colleaii'ue  and 
friend,  Senator  H.  E.  Stacy,  Senator  from  the  twelfth

"Be  it  Resolved,  That  individually  and  as  a  body 
we  extend  to  Senator  Stacy  and  the  other  members 
of  his  family  our  sincerest  sympathy  in  their  bereave- 
ment.

Stacy." 

Tributes  from  Individuals  and  the  I'ress 

Upon  the  death  of  Dr.  Graham  the  trustees  of  the 
University  had  little  hesitation  in  plaeini;  Professor 
Stacy  in  charge  of  the  administration  of  the  aifairs 
of  the  University  while  there  was  being;  given  to  the 
matter  of  selecting  a  permanent  president  the  care 
that  the  importance  of  the  task  made  necessary. 
There  were  those  who  felt  that  the  final  action  of  the 
trustees  would  be  to  make  him  president  of  the  insti- 
tution and  had  he  lived  and  this  action  had  resulted 
it  is  certain  that  he  would  have  filled  the  place  with 
high  credit. 

No  member  of  the  faculty  was  more  loved  by  the 
student  body.  He  enjoyed  their  confidence  to  the 
fullest  extent.  They  trusted  him  implicitly.  His 
dealings  with  the  students  as  dean  placed  a  severe 
test  on  his  popularity,  but  resulted  in  increasing 
rather  than  diminishing  it. 

He  was  the  ideal  teacher  and  it  was  his  remark- 
able usefulness  in  this  relationship  to  the  student 
that  might  have  led  to  a  question  as  to  whether  he 
might  not  have  lessened  his  possibilities  of  service 
by  accepting  administrative  and  executive  duties. 

The  death  of  this  modest,  high-minded,  tireless 
worker  for  the  upbuilding  of  the  young  manhood  and 
the  young  womanhood  of  the  State  is  indeed  a  great 
loss. — Neivs  and  Observer. 

I  was  greatly  distressed  to  hear  of  the  death  of 
Prof.  M.  H.  Stacy,  Acting  President  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina,"  said  Secretary  Daniels.  "I 
had  known  him  for  many  years  and  had  a  high  re- 
gard for  him  and  an  appreciation  of  his  wisdom  and 
ability.  I  know  of  the  admiration  and  esteem  which 
the  late  President  Graham  had  for  him,  and  the 
esteem  in  which  the  student  body  held  him  through 
his  many  years  of  connection  with  the  University. — 
Josephus  Daniels. 


He  was  one  of  the  finest  interpreters  of  the  college 
to  the  student,  and  he  had  a  rare  gift  in  giving  the 
collegians  a  State  rather  than  a  parochial  contact. 
He  never  forgot,  nor  allowed  them  to  forget,  that 
they  were  citizens  of  North  Carolina  above  being 
citizens  of  the  college  community,  and  they  were 
ready  for  college  autonomy  because  they  were  train- 
ed for  the  large  citizenship.  Mr.  Stacy  was  not  un- 
like Dr.  Graham  in  the  genius,  the  sanity  and  the 
high  aim  that  presided  over  his  thought  and  em- 
jiowered  him  to  accept  the  routine  of  professional 
life  as  strength  to  do  an  ever  increasing  number  of 
things  instinctively,  for  education  was  to  him  making 
instinct  to  do  the  work  of  intelligence.  And  as  Dr. 
Graham,  so  was  he  ever  standing  with  wings  out- 
spread ready  to  catch  the  wind  of  inspiration  when 
it  came. — Oscar  Coffin  in  Raleigh  Times. 

Again  have  the  educational  forces  of  the  State  of 
North  Carolina  and  the  University  particularly  suf- 
fered a  tremendous  loss  in  the  death  of  Marvin  Hen- 
drix  Stacy,  Acting  President  of  the  University  since 
the  death  of  Edward  K.  Graham.  Both  fell  vic- 
tims of  the  influenza  epidemic.  Dean  Stacy  was  a 
powerful  force  for  right  and  justice,  his  dealings 
have  always  been  fair  and  liberal  and  he  rightly 
deserved  the  aft'ection  of  the  student  body  and 
the  honor  of  the  State.  Stacy  was  a  brilliant, 
practical  man,  whose  realm  lay  in  the  mathematical 
and  engineering  field,  rather  than  the  literary,  and 
for  that  reason  was  less  known  than  his  co-worker 
Graham,  but  in  many,  respects  his  equal.  As  dean  of 
the  faculty  under  President  Graham,  it  was  Stacy 
who  helped,  in  the  administration  of  his  duties,  to 
make  the  administi-ation  of  University  affairs  in  re- 
cent years  such  a  truly  great  success.  Those  stu- 
dents who  have  come  into  contact  with  Mr.  Stacy, 
as  pupils  in  mathematics  under  his  teaching,  will 
never  forget  the  admirable  traits  and  that  honesty  of 
purpose  which  characterized  his  whole  being. 

Time  was  too  short  for  him  as  acting  president  of 
the  University  to  have  really  come  into  his  full  power 
of  leadership,  but  had  he  been  spared  to  giiide  the 
destinies  of  the  University  longer,  he  would  have 
ranked  in  many  respects  the  equal  of  Graham. 
Stacy  had  a  broad,  common  sense  vision,  that  was 
serving  and  would  have  served  the  University  ad- 
mirably in  the  present  crisis.  Son  of  a  Methodist 
preacher,  and  a  member  of  a  family  that  has  reflected 
unusual  ability  in  places  of  public  trust,  courageous 
and  fearless,  a  devout  Christian,  Dean  Stacy  has  left 
his  imprint  firmly  upon  the  State. — Greensboro 
Daily  Xeivs. 

In  the  death  of  Marvin  Hcndrix  Stacy  the  Uni- 
versity has  suffered  one  of  its  great  losses.  I  was  his 
teacher  in  his  student  days.  I  appreciated  his  high 
manly  qualities,   admired  his  strong  character,  and

in  the  later  days  of  friendship  grew  to  love  him. 
Mentally  he  was  highly  endowed.  He  grasped  a 
subject  readily,  thought  deeply,  made  his  decision 
after  careful  weighing,  and  then  was  firm  as  a  rock 
though  just  and  sympathetically  considerate  to  those 
who  differed  with  him.  It  is  not  strange  that  such  a 
man  was  a  force  for  all  that  is  best  in  the  life  of  the 
University  from  his  college  days  through  the  years 
of  his  apprenticeship  to  those  of  mature  accomplish- 
ment and  gathering  honors.  He  was  one  of  the  best 
teachers  in  the  faculty,  sparing  himself  in  no  detail 
of  pains  and  time  and  repetition,  getting  the  best 
work  out  of  his  students.  And  they  appreciated  the 
labor  spent  upon  them,  the  unruffled  patience,  the 
even-handed  justice  and  the  insight  into  their  diffi- 
culties. 

He  was  admirable  as  an  administrator,  clear,  con- 
vincing and  eloquent  as  a  speaker,  a  man  of  few 
words,  but  they  were  well  weighed,  to  the  point  and 
not  to  be  misunderstood.  Quiet,  simple,  unaffected, 
a  thoroughbred  gentleman  in  the  highest  sense,  I 
never  found  in  him  the  trait  of  self-seeking,  rather 
T  had  to  argue  him  out  of  a  sort  of  self-depreciation. 

He  sought  no  new  honors  nor  advancement,  telling 
me  once  that  the  thought  of  present  duty  was  enough 
for  him  and  I  realized  that  duty  had  for  him  the 
one  clear  call  unmarred  by  thought  of  self,  unstained 
by  pride  of  achievement.  Such  sweet,  gentle,  true 
natures  are  rare.  They  constitute  the  finest,  the 
highest  among  men  though  not  always  so  applauded. 
Such  are  the  salt  of  the  world. — Francis  P.  Venahle 
in  University  7W?r.s  Leffer. 

For  five  years  Dean  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts, 
it  was  his  difficult  task  to  administer  discipline  on 
the  campus.  In  that  capacity  one  can  easily  fail 
cither  through  the  severity  that  goes  with  prejudice 
or  the  weakness  that  seeks  popularity.  Dean  Stacy 
made  a  splendid  record,  for  he  was  neither  preju- 
diced nor  weak.  He  went  straight  to  the  matter  in 
hand  with  the  sympathy  of  a  father  but  also  with 
the  rugged  sense  of  the  moral  standard.  Tn  this  way 
he  endeared  himself  to  the  students  and  commanded 
their  admiration  and  respect. — Rev.  W.  D.  Moss  in 
Tar  Heel. 

Professor  Stacy,  living  and  working  with  Dr. 
Grraham,  was  animated  by  his  spirit  and  vision,  and 
had  he  been  spared  to  guide  the  destinies  of  the 
University  longer  would,  we  believe,  have  come 
nearer  accomplishing  the  ideals  of  President  Gra- 
ham than  any  other  man  we  know.  President  Gra- 
ham and  Dr.  Stacy  have  both  been  taken  from  us 
hut  with  us  their  spirit  still  remains.  We  will  miss 
their  personalities,  their  kindness  of  heart,  their  lead- 
ership. And  while  we  mourn  their  going  may  thcii' 
spirit  be  perpetual  among  us  in  a  future  leadership 
that  will  "bear  likeness  to  their  own." — Tar  TJeeJ. 


PROFESSOR  .MYERS  LECTURES 

On  the  evening  of  Monday,  December  2,  Professor 
William  Starr  Myers,  an  alumnus  of  this  University 
(1897),  and  now  Professor  of  Politics  at  Prince- 
ton, delivered  to  a  large  and  appreciative  audience, 
a  most  interesting  and  effective  address:  "After  the 
War — What?"  No  attempt  will  be  made  here  to 
make  a  precis  of  the  lecture,  as  Professor  Myers  cov- 
ered so  many  different  phases — social,  political,  eco- 
nomic, international — of  the  great  problems  of  re- 
construction and  re-adjustment.  Suffice  it  to  say 
that  his  lecture  was  unusually  clear,  vigorous,  point- 
ed, and  effective.  After  it  was  over,  no  one  could 
remaip  in  doubt  as  to  Professor  Myers'  convictions 
on  the  various  topics  treated ;  and  it  may  be  fairly 
said  that  his  views  as  expressed  were  sane,  patriotic, 
and  characteristically  American.  The  University  here 
feels  genuine  pride  in  Professor  Myers,  who  holds 
the  chair  of  politics  formerly  held  by  Dr.  John  H. 
Finley,  and  also  delivers  lectures  on  government  and 
jurisprudence  formerly  delivered  by  President  Wood- 
row  Wilson.  Professor  Myers  is  one  of  the  most 
effective  platform  lecturers  in  the  country,  and  last 
year  delivered  lectures  and  addresses  to  upwards  of 
a  quarter  of  a  million  people,  chiefly  on  current  his- 
tory, politics,  and  the  war.

RESOLUTIONS    OF    MECKLENBURG    CHAPTER 

The  members  of  the  Mecklenburg  Alumni  Association  of 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  have  been  shocked  beyond 
expression  at  the  death  of  Edward  Kidder  Graham,  our 
president,  teacher,  and  friend.  We  all  agree  that  as  a  presi- 
dent of  the  University  he  was  really  great ;  as  a  teacher  he 
was  most  inspiring  of  thorough  study  and  perfect  work,  and 
as  a  friend  he  freely  gave  the  full  rich  measure  of  his  all. 

His  life  work  was  well  done,  we  all  know,  but  we  cannot 
realize  that  he  is  dead.  He  is  not  dead  to  the  University, 
nor  to  us,  but  lives  in  the  spiritual  influence  he  embodied 
and  worked  out  through  the  University  for  mankind  and  in 
the  everlasting  ruby  vaults   of  men's  human  hearts. 

In  our  sorrow,  therefore,  we  hereby  offer  to  those  of  his 
immediate  family  circle  our  heartfelt  sympathy ;  and  we 
hereby  resolve  that  the  spirit  which  he  so  perfectly  embodied 
shall   by  each   of  us   according  to   our  ability   be   carried   on.

— W.  Doub  Kerr  has  been  returned  from  overseas  and  is  con- 
fined to  a  hospital  at  Ellis  Island,  New  York.  He  hopes 
to  be  moved  soon  to  a  hospital  nearer  Greensboro.  He  was 
formerly  a  member  of  hospital  unit  No.  65. 
— Geo.  W.  Eutsler  is  now  located  at  550  E.  .Tones  St.,  Raleigh, 
N.  C,  where  he  will  be  until  the  obsecjuies  over  the  re- 
mains of  Camp  Polk  are  concluded.  He  is  with  Holloday- 
Crouse  Co.,  contractors  and  builders. 

— Dear  Mr.  M.\nning: — I  am  writing  to  you  concerning  the 
death  of  your  son  "Freddie"  (Lt.  Fred  Manning,  C.  A.  C), 
which  took  place  in  Brest,  France,  at  the  Naval  Base  Hos- 
pital No.  1,  about  October.  24,  1918. 

Freddie  was  dangerously  ill  on  board  the  transport  coming 
over  (pneumonia),  and  died  about  two  days  after  our  arrival. 
Unfortunately  to  relate  also,  our  major  died  on  shipboard — so 
there  is  sorrow  in  other  homes  on  account  of  death  of  loved 
ones. 

Freddie  received  the  best  medical  attention  possible  on 
board  the  transport,  but  he  was  fated  to  die,  so  it  seems. 
I  was  attached  to  Freddie — I  admired  him.  We  were  both 
southerners  (I,  from  Savannah,  Ga.)  almost  the  same  age, 
and  we  had  lots  in  common.  I  met  Freddie  for  the  first 
time  at  Camp  Eustis,  Va.,  where  we  reported  for  duty  with 
the  4th  T.  M.  Bn.,  and  I  being  a  battery  commander  gave 
him  help  and  assistance  to  master  his  work,  which  he  did 
in  wonderful  style. 

When  our  Major  Beverly  died  on  shipboard,  I  took  command 
of  the  4th  T.  M.  Bn.,  being  senior  captain,  and  I  am  still  in 
command  and  hope  to  be  its  major,  and  while  around  Brest 
for  several  days,  I  made  personal  visits  to  find  out  about 
Freddie  and  several  more  of  my  men  who  were  sick.  I 
wasn't  present  at  his  death,  but  I  found  out  it  was  brave 
and  peaceful,  and  you  can  rest  assured  you  had  a  noble  son 
who  gave  his  life  for  God,  country,  and  humanity.  Sad  as  it 
is,  I  beg  you  to  enjoy  the  comfort  which  comes  from  the 
satisfaction  that  a  brave  and  true  American  passed  away 
when  Freddie  died,  and  that  he  glorified  himself  just  the 
same  as  if  he  forfeited  his  life  on  the  battlefield.  I  pray 
God 's  peace  for  his  sweet  mother — our  mothers  are  the 
real  sufferers.  To  his  brothers  and  sisters,  I  extend  a  heart- 
felt sympathy  and  join   them  in  their   sorrow. 

Our   battalion   left   Brest   the   day   of   Freddie's   burial.     I

could  not  attend  the  funeral,  so  I  collected  all  the  infor- 
mation as  to  his  place  of  burial  and  personally  visited  the 
site  and  instructed  the  lieutenant  in  charge  of  all  the  burials 
to  place  him  in  a  certain  grave  which  I  have  located  and 
sketched  for  your  information.  Our  chaplain,  John  A.  Toohey, 
was  present  with  me  and  noted  the  place  for  Freddie  's  burial. 

The  following  is  a  description :  The  place  of  burial  is 
the  American  Soldiers'  section  of  the  cemetery  at  the  town 
of  Lambesellae,  about  two  miles  outside  of  Brest,  France. 
The  grave  is  located  as  the  first  grave  in  the  second  row  from 
the  brick  wall  of  the  cemetery. 

On  my  return  to  the  States,  I  hope  to  see  you  or  call  upon 
you  and  tell  you  more  about  your  great  loss. 

With  deepest  feelings,  I  am

— Jim  A.  Capps,  who  has  been  with  the  Y.  il.  C.  A.  overseas, 
has  just  returned  to  the  States.  He  proceeded  immediately  to 
the  Hill  upon  arriving  at  New  York  before  going  to  his 
home,  Gastonia.  He  will  take  an  M.  A.  degree  this  spring. 
Capps  was  in  the  front  line  trenches  on  several  occasions  of 
his  own  free  will  and  experienced  many  thrilling  and  tense 
moments,  his  outfit  being  exposed  to  the  long  range  guns  at 
all  times.  He  was  gassed  once  and  laid  up  in  a  hospital  for 
awhile.

to  his  family  in  Charlotte,  closes  with  the  following 
paragraph : 

"How's  the  flu?  I'm  hoping,  family,  it  hasn't  hit  any 
of  you.  It 's  treacherous,  of  Hunnish  characteristics.  I  ima- 
gine that's  what  took  Ed  Graham  away — the  severest  shock 
I  have  received  on  this  side.  I  read  of  his  death  in  a  re- 
cent issue  of  the  New  York  Herald.  North  Carolina  has 
lost  her  foremost  student;  her  pioneer  educator;  her  greatest, 
if  there  is  a  superlative,  man.  Personally,  I  never  felt 
better.  Am  feeling  tip  top  in  every  respect — and  have 
no  intentions  of  feeling  any  other  way.  And  I'm  hoping 
you  're  with  me. ' '
