SETTLING AN ESTATE
ADVANTAGE OF FINANCIAL MINDS
A great deal of responsibility must fall upon an individual executor or trustee of a will
which directs the payment of legacies or annuities.
To produce sufficient income for the purpose, a reinvestment of certain funds may be
necessary. If an individual is appointed, he must shoulder his difficult duty alone.
A Trust Company — with its many financial minds — faces equal responsibility, but is
better equipped by experience to meet it.
To know how to invest funds so that they will yield as large an income as is consistent
with absolute safety of the principal, is one of the specialized every-day functions of this
Company.

OPINION AND COMMENT
CLOSE RANKS,
FORWARD!
Close ranks, forward!
This command, issued by the Trustees at their
special meeting in Raleigh on June
16th in the election of Dr. Harry
Woodburn ( 'base to the presidency,
and most heartily received by faculty, student body,
and alumni, brought to a fortunate close an unprece-
dentedly fateful and critical year in the history of
the University, and gave confi-
dent assurance to the State
that its chief educational in-
stitution, though profoundly
shocked by the loss of Graham.
Stacy, and Rattle, and the con-
fusion incident to the world
war, had recovered its stride,
and awaited, eager, strong,
and united, the opportunity
to enter the wider field of ser-
vice which lies before it.

DR. CHASE, , :, f ^.
PRESIDENT * 0f,Dean
Stacy, who as-
sumed the duties of the office
of president immediately fol-
lowing his election on Mon-
day of Commencement week,
is well known to the alumni
who have attended the Uni-
versity during the past ten years and to the readers
of The Review who have kept in close touch with
the work of the University in recent years. Coming
to the University in September, 1910, as professor
of the Philosophy of Education, Dr. Chase imme-
diately impressed the University community as a
man of strength and quickly adjusted himself to the
program of work in which The University was en-
gaged. In 1914 the title of his professorship was
changed to that of professor of Psychology, and upon
the death of President Graham, he was appointed
acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts. In Jan-
uary, upon the death of Dean Stacy, he was ap-
pointed chairman of the faculty, which position he
filled so acceptably that the Trustees were convinced
that they would find in him the proper successor to
President Graham.
In coming to the presidency, Dr. Chase brings to
his highly responsible office a sound scholarship and
wide knowledge of educational technique. During
his undergraduate days at
Dartmouth College, Massa-
chusetts (from which he grad-
uated in 1904 and received
his A. M. in 1908), he won the
reputation of being a brilliant
student. In 1910 he received
the degree of Ph.D. from
Clark University where he
pursued graduate courses in
Education and Philosophy
for two years. In the fall
of 1910 he became professor
of Educational Psychology in
the University and in that po-
sition and the later position
of professor of Psychology,
has been a constant student of
educational and philosophical
subjects. He has been a fre-
quent contributor to educa-
tional and philosophical pub-
lications and has been an in-
fluential member of societies
oodburn Chase interested in the promotion of
knowledge in these particular fields.
Fortunately for the University, President Chase
has acquired a very definite conception of the in-
stitution whose leadership has been intrusted to him
and of the service which North Carolina expects it to
render. In addition to being a member of the
general faculty. Dr. Chase has served with especial
effectiveness on the curriculum and Graduate School
committees of the University, has come in close
touch with the teachers of the State through service
on the faculties of the School of Education and the
Summer School, and through service with the Ex-

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
tension committee since its inception has visualized
the educational scene in the North Carolina of today.
As an investigator of the school systems of the State,
as a lecturer in the Extension service of the Uni-
versity, and as a member of the Executive committee
of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, he has
come to understand North Carolina and the high
mission which the University is to fill in its life.
And more recently, while serving as a member of
the Students' Army Training Corps committee, as
acting dean, and chairman of the faculty, he has
been tested in the larger affairs of University ad-
ministration with general satisfaction to his coL
leagues and the Trustees.
Likewise, President Chase is characterized by
many qualities of mind and heart that augur well
for the future. He is easily approached; his sym-
pathies are broad and genuine; he grasps the es-
sentials of matters quickly; be speaks with clarity
and distinction ; he is tactful in his dealings with
members of the student body and faculty; and in the
important administrative duties of bis office has
proven himself to be a thoughtful, judicious execu-
tive. In the community and church life at Chapel
Hill he has been a positive force; and, to repeat our
statement above, lie enters upon his new office with
the hearty support of the entire University.
With the tragedy and confusion of the year left
behind ; with the uncertainty as to the headship of
the University happily terminated: with the sign-
ing of the peace treaty at hand; with the field of
opportunity for service widening hourly, the order
given by the Trustees is peculiarly fitting — Close
ranks, forward !
DDD
For years The Review has longed for an Alumni
Day approximating that just passed which easily
. . .,.„„ is entitled to the epithet "the best ever."
ALUMNI r„ . . . , , L .
DAY Lo begin with, there were alumni here —
some six hundred of them. Furthermore,
there were classes like 1899 and 1909 and 1918 with
from 25 to 50 members present. Other classes run-
ning back to the late fifties and the sixties were in
evidence, with all classes in between represented.
And there were quarters in the dormitories and the
infirmary for all comers and good fare at Commons.
And furthermore, the Carolina Playmakers gave
two splendid plays which were so attractive that some
half dozen or dozen Trustees broke away from the
meetino- to see "Peggv" and "What Will Barbara
Say ?"
The big thing, however, apart from the luncheon
and the speech-making accompanying it, was the
spirit which breathed throughout the reunion of the
men in service and the alumni conference. Fifty-
five Carolina men made the supreme sacrifice in the
war, and their fellows, both in the service and with-
out, paused to pay them honor. And in the alumni
c< inference, President Connor, of the Association,
together with all the members of the Association,
assured President Chase of the united support of
every Carolina man.
□ □□
As an outgrowth of the alumni conference, which
was addressed by R. D. W. Connor, President Chase,
A. M. Coates, W. T. Shore, L. R.
ALUMNI ,,T., ,'_-__. ' n
PROPOSALS ilson, and L. It. Rankin, the fol-
lowing proposals were embodied in the
report of the committee on resolutions for the con-
sideration of the alumni during the coming year.
They are so important that they are reproduced as
drafted by Messrs. I. C. Wright, Jones Fuller. T.
S. Rollins, Lawrence McRae, and A. L. Cox, of the
committee.
1. That we heartily indorse the action of the
Trustees in the election of Dr. H. W. Chase, presi-
dent of the University, and pledge to him and the
University the loyal and unstinted support of every
alumnus, and cordially invite him to call on us for
any assistance or co-operation that he may deem
helpful in bringing the University to her full meas-
ure of usefulness.
2. We heartily indorse the establishment of the
Graham Memorial Building, believing that it will
satisfy a real need in University life. We suggest
that the alumni council adopt ways and means of
bringing this matter to the attention of the alumni
generally, and suggest that they set out the need for
the building and the uses it will serve. We feel that
Dr. Graham was instrumental in bringing to North
Carolina the feeling that the University was every-
body's University, and was created to serve every-
body. This building will typify that idea, and all
alumni we have no doubt will deem it a privilege to
help erect it and perpetuate and energize the idea
in the life of our people.
3. That steps be taken leading to the establish-
ment of a system for keeping on hand, available, at
all times, accurate information concerning all of the
alumni. This bureau of information, established at
the University, should keep in touch with the alumni
and be able to furnish the correct address and other
pertinent up-to-date information about every
alumnus.
4. That county alumni associations be organized
in every county which does not at present have an
association and wherever practicable outside the
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
217
IMPARTIAL— BUT
APPRECIATIVE
State. There are at present 58 local alumni asso-
ciations in the State and eight outside. Thirty-two
counties have no associations.
5. That steps be taken for increasing the circula-
tion of The Ai.im.m Review, so as to make this cir-
culation more nearly commensurate with the size of
the alumni body. At present the total number of
subscribers is 2,750, while the alumni body numbers
10,000.
6. That meetings of the local associations be
held frequently throughout the year.
7. That an annual convention of class and local
alumni secretaries be held.
8. That support of the alumni to the Alumni
Loyalty Fund be enlisted as a regular policy.
9. That a complete war record of Carolina
alumni be compiled.
□ □□
Quite naturally Alma Mater does not make special
distinction among her sons, but The Review is go-
ing to venture the intimation
that she is particularly appre-
ciative of the thoughtfulness of
three of the classes during the year and the com-
mencement season just ended. Throughout the de-
moralization incident to the S. A. T. C, the in-
fluenza, the loss of president and dean, the class of
1019 never wavered in its devotion to the ideals
and spirit of Carolina. However dark the hour, it
was at hand ready to do its bit. Similarly,
1918, through its membership on the campus, lent
itself to the maintenance of morale, and on Alumni
Day returned forty strong to assure Alma Mater that
its youth and hopefulness were at her disposal. And
1909, after five years of absence, returned, with
wives and children, and friends, and a check for
$1,000 to add to the Alumni Loyalty Fund, and,
with what is even more fundamental — the purpose
to serve to the end. Again, we say. Alma Mater is
impartial — but appreciative.
□ □□
The Review always welcomes suggestions from
the alumni, and it is particularly gratified to have
the sort ottered by Mr. J. W. TJmstead,
of the class of 1909, looking to the
sending of new men to the University on the part
of alumni. His proposal, made at the Alumni
Luncheon, is that a special club be founded by the
alumni, the secretary of which shall be the person
regularly employed by the University to conduct
the campaign for new students, the president and
vice-presidents of which shall be those alumni who
have influenced the highest and next highest number
JOIN NOW
of new men to enter the University during the year.
The organization is to be a Send-Your-Mm Club,
and Mr. Umstead wants to see every alumnus striv-
ing for the posts of honor.
□ □□
The Review wishes to lay special emphasis upon
the following matters of alumni interest which
should receive particular attention
ANNOUNCE- , • ., ^
MENTS during the summer.
1. Messrs. E. R. Rankin and R.
\Y. Madry will represent the University in the cam-
paign for new students; for increased support of
The Review: and for information concerning
alumni for use in the compilation of alumni records.
2. Mr. A. M. Coates will continue the direction
of the (iraham Memorial Fund. Local directors
throughout the State are urged to give him hearty
co-operation.
3. The Treasurer of the University is authorized
to receive contributions for the Alumni Loyalty
Fund.
4. Mr. A. M. Coates can supply copies of Edu-
cation and Citizenship, by President (iraham, at
$1.50 per copy.

Information that the Board of Trustees author-
ized an increase in salaries (to become effective
September first), approximating
INCREASE IN „,? • *i +• ■ '
SAI ARIFS fifteen per cent, in the case of in-
structors, assistant professors, and
associate professors, and ten per cent, in the case
of full professors, will be gladly received by the
alumni. Tt will also be of interest to them to know
that within the five-year period, October 1, 1914-
October 1, 1919 (the high cost of living period), the
total flat increases, including the one just authorized,
but excluding special increases authorized in par-
ticular cases, promotions in rank, and Kenan pro-
fessorships, will be approximately twenty-five per
cent !
In this connection we reproduce several para-
graphs from the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of May
26 based upon the action of the regents of that insti-
tution. They are worthy of the consideration by
Trustees and alumni alike. Read them:
The thing of greatest interest to faculty mem-
bers was the increases in salaries, which totaled
$173,412. The deans and administrative officers
came in for $5,650 ; full professors received an ad-
vance of $26,000; associate professors, $13,050; as-
sistant professors, $37,800; instructors, $28,400.
218
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
The next largest item of increase was for one hun-
dred and nineteen clerks and stenographers, who
received an advance totaling $12,069.
The largest increases, and the most numerous,
went to the members of the teaching staff who were
receiving under $2,500 — $124,672 going to those in
this class. Those who had been receiving above
$2,500 a year received a total increase of $40,900.
Five hundred and sixty-nine persons receive ad-
vances in salary ranging all the way from $5 a month
to $1,000 a year, which was the largest amount given
anyone.
The skies look clearer and the sun shines brighter
today for these individuals.
ALUMNI DAY IS FEATURE OF UNIVERSITY'S 124th COMMENCEMENT
Carolina's Sons Come Back to the Hill in Large Numbers,
and Victory Reunions Score Big Success
Class
Featured by a big general meeting of the Alumni
Association ; by ten special class reunions of classes
ranging from 1859 to 1918; by the Victory Re-
union of alumni from service; by the Alumni Lunch-
eon; and by the performance of the "Carolina Play-
makers," the celebration of Alumni Day, Tuesday,
.Tune 17th, proved to be the biggest feature of com-
mencement. The largest number of alumni who
have revisited the University within recent years
came back for Alumni Day. The alumni returned
in fine spirit to renew college friendships, to come
into more intimate touch with their Alma Mater,
and to show their readiness to back the University
in its new undertakings.
Mr. E. D. W. Connor, of the class of 1899, presi-
dent of the General Alumni Association, presided
over the meeting of the Association, which was held
in Gerrard Hall at 10:45 o'clock on the morning of
Alumni Day. Mr. Connor assured President Chase
that he would have the hearty and steadfast support
of the Alumni Association in his work as Presi-
dent of the institution, and introduced President
Chase to the audience.
President Chase Addresses Alumni Association
President Chase addressed the General Alumni
Association as follows:
It is my privilege today, in behalf of the University of
North Carolina, to welcome you back once more to this your
well-loved home. From overseas, from duty in the camps, from
all this wide country of ours, you have come back to us today.
There is nothing perfunctory about our welcome. It comes
from the hearts of all of us. You are at home again — at home
On this quiet campus, with all its wealth of tradition and its
charm. May wc to whose hands the care of this University is
committed be found worthy of maintaining the rich heritage
you have left us. May we realize in some measure the high
destiny you have dreamed for Alma Mater, the far goals you
have set for her. Men of Carolina, welcome home!
President Chase Reviews Year
The president of the Alumni Association has asked me to
tell you something about the year on the campus which is just
now closing. I think it is altogether fitting that this should
be done. Never has the University known such a year — never,
we trust, will she know such another. Three of the greatest of
Carolina's sons have gone from us. Within a few short months
Graham, and Stacy, and Battle passed to their reward. This
is not the time nor the place to set forth the services of these
men. I know we cannot think of them as dead. The sweet
and gentle spirit of Dr. Battle, that modest, four-square right-
eous life that was Stacy 's, the vision and the passion for
democracy and the altogether lovely soul that were Graham's —
these live forever in our hearts, they are a part of the very
air we breathe here today. Out of our tragedies there has
come, I think, a renewed consecration to all that Carolina is
and stands for. The sons of this University have rallied to
her in her dark hour. Students and faculty, alumni and
friends, have all set themselves the task of wresting what
might be of victory from the jaws of defeat. That we have
come through — as I think we have come through — this bitter
time with the spirit of Carolina still strong and free, is due
to not one group of men — it is due to the united effort of the
sons of Carolina everywhere.
Made College a Military Camp
We began the year with a dedication of the college to the
most stupendous educational experiment the world has ever
known. Men have often remarked that the college had little
in the way of a definite standard by which it could judge of
the success or failure of its training. But during the last
two years it has had a standard — the altogether practical and
unsentimental standard of war. And. judged by that stand-
ard, the college has met its responsibilities. It has proven
the great source of raw material for leaders in war as in
peace. So marked was the impression made by college men
upon the leaders of the army that, faced by the emergency
need for more and more material capable of being quickly
moulded into officers, they asked us, as they did the other
colleges of the country, to place ourselves under government
control for the duration of the war. This we did gladly. Our
dormitories became barracks, our commons a mess-hall, courses
in war issues and gas engines and camp sanitation replaced
Latin and Greek and philosophy. Emerson Field resounded,
not to foot-ball signals, but to the commands of "Fours
right! " Men rose with the sun, went to bed — imagine it — at
ten o'clock, after a day spent in washing windows, peeling
potatoes, drilling in close order formation — with occasional
class attendance and possibly a bit of study now and then.
Then came the influenza. The infirmary was filled to over-
flowing, the fraternity houses commandeered for hospitals.
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
219
Thanks to the efficient handling of the students by the mem-
bers of the medical faculty, our student losses were light.
Three of our young men — splendid fellows every one of them
— gave their lives here as truly for their country as though
they had died on the field of battle. And may I pause here
for a moment to pay tribute to the self-sacrificing devotion of
Miss Bessie C. Roper, who, serving in Chapel Hill at the time
as a trained nurse, volunteered her services to the infirmary,
and laid down her life that others might live. Her memory
will be forever cherished in our hearts.
Of the great tragedy which that epidemic brought to the
University and to the state in the loss of President Graham,
words are far too inadequate to tell. I can only say that we
have tried as best we could to meet it in the spirit which I
know he would have had us meet it — not in a mood of blind
discouragement, but as a challenge to show in this dark
extremity the stuff of which Carolina is made.
The epidemic was waning when our S.A.T.C. received its
second blow in the signing of the armistice. At once all
incentive for our men to make good in a military way was
gone. The story of the effort we all made to try to keep up
the morale in this group of men would be worth the telling if
time allowed. Those of you who were in camp when the armi-
stice was signed might multiply your own feelings by ten and
get a fairly correct idea of the state of mind of our men
here.
And so our experience with the S.A.T.C. came to an end.
The experiment had been a daring one. To graft on the free,
responsible, self-governing life of this campus the military
attitude with all that it signifies was a task of no mean dimen-
sions. There had not been time to work out the necessary
adjustments. Military needs had perforce to take precedence,
and the healthy spirit of the campus inevitably suffered.
But the ardor with which the whole institution threw itself
into the work of transforming the college almost overnight
cannot be too highly commended. The spirit of service was
everywhere. It is little wonder that, their feet treading such
unfamiliar paths, our students should, for the time, have lost
something of their initiative, should have, we sometimes feared,
been a little too content to let others do their thinking for
them.
Rebuilding Carolina Morale
Such was the situation which confronted Chairman Stacy
when college reopened after Christmas. The quiet, tactful,
effective way in which he dealt with it is beyond praise. Most
fortunately our older students, who had been scattered in all
branches of the service, soon began to return in considerable
numbers. Their grasp of the situation, their feeling of their
own responsibility, their co-operation, has been a constant
joy to us all.
The college staggered when Mr. Stacy was taken from us,
but its vitality was strong enough to sustain even this second
shock. Just how deep the roots of this University go down,
just how sound and how healthy its whole life is, I think we
have scarcely realized until this year. Those who have builded
it have moulded it into what it is, have done their work far
better than they themselves could have dreamed. The out-
standing testimony to this work and to the passion and insight
with which President Graham had devoted himself and this
institution to the service of the state, has been the action of
the General Assembly in increasing our annual maintenance
appropriation to $215,000 during the next two years. This
generous action imposes upon the University a burden of in-
creased responsibility which the University has, I think, ac-
cepted with a full sense of its importance. Among faculty
and students alike there has been full recognition of the fact
that no institution, and especially no institution with the
opportunities which lie before us, can stand still at the criti-
cal period of history. The S.A.T.C. at least set us to examin-
ing our own educational theories, to trying to sum up in our
minds what the war has taught us, of where we have suc-
ceeded and where we have failed. In the trials of the times
which lie before us every educational institution must learn
or die. We have done much this spring in the way of altering
our courses of study and our methods, which I will not detail
here. Our educational life is, I think, once more flowing
freely.
And I believe I can say the same of our campus life.
There have been few experiences so stimulating and so alto-
gether worth while as those which have attended the steady
come-back of the college spirit among the men on the Hill
this spring. It has put heart and soul and life into all of us
to see the magnificent fashion in which the students have '
responded to every call we have made on them. The honor
system is once more in full operation, interpreted and enforced
by a student council of unusual quality. A "campus cabinet"
(successor to the "Greater Council") has been formed, to
deal in a constructive fashion with the problems of campus
life. It has done much this spring, and its work will continue
and increase. The democratic spirit of our life here has, I
think, grown and broadened as the months have passed.
In athletics the season has not only been successful, but it
has been characterized by a clean, wholesome, sportsmanlike
spirit throughout. It has seen the renewal of relations with
two of our sister institutions — a happy omen for the future.
Coach Campbell, who has been absent in the service, returns
to us in the fall, and we may confidently look forward to a
year of athletic success and of high standards.
We have, I think, won back our Carolina — the Carolina we
all love so well. May she grow ever into new strength and
beauty as the years go by!
And now it only remains for me, before this company of the
sons of Carolina, to pledge myself, heart and soul and body,
to the welfare of this University. God grant I may prove
worthy of your trust !
Graham Memorial Fund Presented
President Connor next introduced Mr. Albert M.
Coates, Secretary of the Graham Memorial Fund
Campaign. Mr. Coates showed that the Graham
Memorial building would fill a great social need
and stated that to the present time $70,000 had
been subscribed to the Fund. He pointed out that
indications were for the success of the campaign,
but urged the active co-operation of all the alumni
to the end that the campaign be not a half-hearted
sticcess, but a full and complete success.
Dr. Louis R. Wilson, editor of The Alumni Re-
view, made an appeal for the support of this publi-
cation. He said that The Review was established
seven years ago to inform the scattered alumni of
what was being done at the University and to serve
as a medium of keeping the alumni in touch with
one another.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
1879 's Reunion Representation
W. T. Shore, of the class of 1905, of Charlotte,
discussed the Alumni Loyalty Fund. This fund
now amounts to $10,000, Mr. Shore stated. It was
begun four years ago when the class of 1905 handed
to President Graham a check for $1,000 to go to
the Fund. Mr. Shore stated the class of 1905 was
making plans to present the Alumni Loyalty Fund
with another gift, this time for a minimum of $2,500.
E. R. Rankin, Secretary of the Alumni Associa-
tion, suggested ways by which the General Alumni
Association could widen its scope and influence.
The suggestions made were later incorporated in
resolutions passed by the General Alumni Associa-
tion.
The Alumni Luncheon
The Alumni Luncheon was held at 1 P. M. in
Swain Hall with an attendance of 500. Alumni
spirit and class spirit ran high at the luncheon ami
the occasion was a most happy one. Judge Robert
W. Winston, of the class of 1879, served as toast-
master. Music was rendered by the orchestra as
the luncheon was served. Cheers by the classes hold-
ing re-unions frequently resounded through the hall.
Responses were made for the reunion classes by
Capt. Edmund Jones, of the class of 1S69, of Le-
noir; Judge Francis D. Winston, of the class of
1879, of Windsor; Charles A. Webb, of the class of
1889, of Asheville; Judge W. F. Harding, of the
class of 1894, of Charlotte; T. Gilbert Pearson, of
the class of 1899, of New York ; J. W. Umstead, Jr.,
of the class of 1909, of Greensboro.
J. Martin Fleming Represents '59
Only one man was present to represent the class
of 1859, Mr. J. Martin Fleming, of Raleigh. Mr.
James P. Coffin, of Batesville, Ark., was prevented
from attending the reunion, but sent a message ex-
pressing his love for the University and his interest
in the 60-year reunion of his class.
Four Survivors of '69 Present
Four men were present for the reunion of the
class of 1869. These were: Capt. Edmund Jones,
Lenoir; Alexander Graham, Charlotte; John W.
Fries, Winston-Salem, and W. H. Maverick, San
Antonio, Texas.
Eight Members of '79 Answer Roll Call
Eight representatives were present from the class
of 1879. Those present were: Judge F. D. Winston,

of unusual interest and was largely attended.
Major McLendon read the list of alumni in ser-

vice, which list is appended below. It shows that
2,285 Carolina alumni were in the military and
naval service of the United States. Final returns

lina alumni who gave up their lives in service.
Lieut. Col. E. A. Abernethy, Lieut. Don MacRac,
Col. Albert L. Cox, Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels, and General Julian S. Carr made brief
speeches. All of the speakers paid high tribute to
the part paid by the University and her sons in the
world war.
Secretary Daniels was extremely interested in and
proud of the record made by his Alma Muter. "The
future of the Republic is in your keeping," the
speaker told the ex-soldiers before him. Since vic-
tory had been won in war, he urged that no less
strenuous efforts be put forth to achieve victory in
peace.
Glancing at the University's service flag which
showed that 2,285 Carolina alumni and students
entered military service, and that 55 made the su-
preme sacrifice, Secretary Daniels declared, ''these
men never will be dead, because they are not for-
gotten."
General Carr paid tribute to the valor and forti-
tude of the Confederate soldier and referred to the
part taken in the Civil War by University alumni.

Faculty Reception
The closing feature on the program of Alumni
Day was the faculty reception which was given in
honor of the graduating class, the alumni, and visi-
tors, by members of the faculty.
SECRETARY LANE IS COMMENCEMENT DAY SPEAKER
Introduced by Secretary Daniels — Degrees Conferred on Eighty-Seven Candidates — Medals
and Prizes Awarded — LL. D. for Lane
"Ours in America is not a work of reconstruction
but rather of 'carrying on,' " Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane told the vast capacity-taxing au-
dience that assembled in Memorial Hall for the
Commencement Day final exercises on Wednesday,
June 18th. "The morale of this nation is stronger,
not weaker, for our war adventure. We were walk-
ing in the right way before, and now we shall go
faster," he said. "This country now hears itself pro-
claimed as the greatest of world powers. We are
not what we were. We have done things we be-
lieved impossible and we are not unconscious or in-
different of our fortunes. But the wine of military
glory has not gone to our head.
"But our years of test are before us and not be-
hind us," he cautioned. "The creation of a happier
society" was the central theme running throughout
the address of the distinguished cabinet member,
which had as its subject "An Adventure and Its Les-
sons."
LL.D. Degree for Lane
The honorary degree of doctor of laws was con-
ferred on Secretary Lane, following his address.
Eighty-seven graduates of the University were
banded their degrees by Governor Bickett. Five
women students were among the recipients, one get-
ting a law and another an M. A. degree.
At 11 :30 the march of the academic procession
to Memorial hall, where the exercises were held, be-
gan. It was headed by Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, fa-
culty marshal, and Josh Tayloe, chief student mar-
shal, followed by Secretary Lane and President
Chase, and Governor Bickett and Secretary Daniels.
Then came the faculty and members of the graduat-
ing class.
The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.
Maynard Marshall, President Chase presiding.
Daniels Introduces Lane
Secretary Daniels' speech of introduction of Sec-
retary Lane embodied a noble tribute to the part
played by the college men in the world war. "Out
anions; the great mass of Americans there was the
feeling that the college men were soft and lacking
in the stern qualities that grappled with great issues
and hardships. If anybody wanted to know whether
the college man was fit, this war was the answer.
Every college in America was the muster ground.
The students forgot their caps and gowns for the
khaki and gun. The training for citizenship and
sacrifice in the college was demonstrated by the
splendid leadership of college men on the battlefield
and battleships.
"Educational institutions met the challenge of
war; they must meet the challenge of peace. The
dangers that face America are now insidious along
the line of junkerism that seeks to defeat the will
of this war that the world must be made safe for
liberty."
Governor Bickett gave the outgoing seniors some
sound advice in his parting address. Never before
in the history of the world have any young men

FINAL EXERCISES OF GRADUATING CLASS
1919 Has Strong Come-Back, Though Somewhat Crippled by the War — Class Gift of
$1200 Presented — Delivery of Campus to Juniors
The final exercises of the graduating class featured
the second day of commencement, Monday, June 16,
the chief numbers on the program of which were
the senior orations in contest for the Mangum medal,
the closing exercises of the outgoing class, the an-
imal debate between representatives of the two liter-
ary societies, and the anniversary meetings of the
two societies in their respective halls.
1919 Has Strong Come-Back
Although somewhat crippled by the war and
things incident thereto, the class of '19, with 87
graduates, presented a come-back spirit worthy of
the highest commendation. Most of its members
were in the service when the war ended, and only
by sheer pluck and hard work were they able to
graduate.
Professor Williams Sounds Warning
Class Day exercises were opened at 9 :30 A.M.
when the seniors formed in front of Memorial Hall
and marched to Chapel for prayer. The late Dr.
Kemp P. Battle was not there to sound the parting
admonition to the outgoing graduates, as had been
his custom for many years in the past.
Prof. Horace Williams spoke to them this time.
He called the attention of the graduates to the fact
that they are at this time face to face with conditions
of greatest significance and danger, in the depths of
which are relentless currents seeking to pull people
under.
"Be strong," he warned, "for in a similar time
Christ brought us lessons of supreme hope."
The world has destroyed countless amounts of the
earth's wealth and in this period of reconstruction
the strain, especially on the moral fibre, will be too
much for the survival of some, he said.
"In the words of the poet," concluded Professor
Williams, " 'America is calling today : send me men
to match my mountains and send me men to match
my plains.' "
Class Gift of $1200
The public exercises were opened in Gerrard Hall
at 10:30 a. in., Luther H. Hodges, president of the
senior class, presiding. J. C. Bynum, of Durham,
presented the class gift, turning over to the Uni-
versity thro\igh the alumni loyalty fund $1,200 to
be used for the purchase and installation of a tower
clock to go in the south building, after this building
has been remodeled.
Hodge's Farewell Address
Luther Hodges, class president, in a short fare-
well address, well expressed the heart-felt love of the
.class for alma mater, referring particularly to the
many members of the class who were absent in ser-
vice last fall. He likened the seniors to the children
of a mother who is the University. Before bidding
farewell to the University and community, President
Hodges expressed the appreciation of the class of
the interest and co-operation manifested by the fac-
ulty and townspeople.
Mangum Medal Contest
The meeting was then turned over to President
H. W. Chase, who conducted the Mangum medal
oratorical contest. The speakers were R. F. Mose-
ley, of Clinton, on "Industrial Democracy;" Nathan
G. Gooding, of New Bern, on "The Advance of a
Principle;" Luther H. Hodges, of Leaksville, on
"World Peace or Allied Peace ?" William E. Price,
of Madison, on "An Honest Practice of a Campus
Ideal."
W. E. Price, it was announced on Commencement
Day, won the Mangum medal.
Closing Exercises of Class
The closing exercises of the senior class were held
under the Davie Poplar at 5 :30 Monday afternoon.
Seated around the venerable tree in a semi-circle,
the graduates tied the lasting knots of friendship.
The scene was a most impressive one.
The class history was narrated by E. S. Lindsey.
J. L. Aycock furnished some interesting class sta-
tistics. W. H. Williamson recited the class poem.
H. G. West was responsible for making the last will
and testament of 1910. The task of prophesying
the class' future was undertaken by W. E. Price.
Delivery of Campus to Juniors
The delivery of the campus to the care of the
juniors was another ceremony that stood out for its
impressiveness. Following a short and appropriate
speech by President Hodges, of the seniors, to Presi-
dent J. P. Washburn, of the juniors, the juniors
marched into the circle of the seniors and lustily
cheered the outgoing class.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
Di Wins the Debate
The Dialectic. Literary Society, represented by
S. H. Willis and R. B. Gwynn, won the com-
mencement debate which was held on Monday night.
Mr. Gwynn, who was judged the best speaker on the
winning side, also won the Bingham medal.
"Resolved, That with respect to immigration and
citizenship the United States should accord to the
citizens of China and Japan the same privileges as
extended to citizens of European nations," was the
query debated.
The Di representatives were opposed by L. W.
Jarman and T. S. Kittrell, of the Phi Society, who
championed the negative side of the question.
John W. Umstead, an alumnus of Greensboro,
presided over the debate. Forrest Miles served as
secretary.
Anniversary Meetings
The anniversary meetings of the two societies were
held in the halls of the two respective organizations,
following the debate. Many alumni members of
both societies joined in the get-together affairs and
for several hours the ancient halls resounded with
the voices of men who took an active part in this
phase of campus life during their campus days at
Chapel Hill. The students also had a part on the
program.
Short pithy speeches expressing loyalty for the
literary organizations and appreciation of the bene-
fits derived therefrom were made by many alumni
and students. Frequent spurts of good-natured hu-
mor served to break the ice and make the meetings
of free-for-all informal nature.
In the Phi Hall
Following the gathering in the Phi hall, N. G.
Gooding, student president, turned over the chair to
E. A. Council, of Morehead City, '04, who had been
elected to preside over the meeting. Those speaking

Lexington; R. F. Moseley, '19, of Clinton; Claude
Teague, of Wilson; McCauley Costner, '07, of
Raleigh.

In the Di hall, President William M. York turned
over the presidential chair to George S. Steele, '89,
of Rockingham, although O. C. Cox, '09, of Greens-
boro, gave him a good run for the place. Those
making short talks included Charles A. Webb, '89,
of Asheville; John Johnson, '09, of Hillsboro; Con-
nor Brown, '99; Oscar J. Coffin, '09, of Raleigh;

BACCALAUREATE SERMON BY DR. J. E. WHITE
The annual baccalaureate sermon, which was
preached by Rev. John Ellington White, D.D.,
president of Anderson College and pastor of the
first Baptist Church of Anderson, S. C, formally
opened the University's 124th Commencement on
Sunday, June 15. It was one of the most powerful
discourses ever heard by a Chapel Hill audience
and made a decidedly profound impression. Dr.
White was formerly pastor of several churches in
this State.
Dr. White chose for his text Acts 17 ; 30 : "The
times of ignorance therefore God overlooked ; but
now He commandeth men that they should all every-
where to repent ; because He hath appointed a day
in which He will judge the world by that man whom
He hath sent."
The theme of the sermon was "Repentance" as
the indispensable moral necessity of the world's re-
construction. He made impressive the stern back-
ground of disorder and disaster and the world-wide
confusion of civilization, and pointed out the evil
principles and forces which have wrought their
logical consequences upon mankind.
Repentance is Fundamental
"It is not natural, but moral phenomena," he said,
"which furnishes the data of interpretation for this
disastrous epoch. The birds sang blithely in the
trenches; the flowers bloomed in Flanders fields;
and nature was not at war. It was from the mind
and heart of man the devilish emotions proceeded.
Therefore it is in the minds and hearts of men to-
day the reconstructive process must arise. Unless
men change their minds and turn human thought
and feeling against ideas and ideals which have
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
229
brought catastrophe, there is no hope that society
has any future of safety and progress."
The refrain of the sermon was "repent, for the
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." "But the kingdom
of hell is also at hand," the preacher declared, "be-
cause the reaction against paganistic motives and
materialistic emotions is not positive. At this mo-
ment the most obtrusive fact is that no one seems
sure that the world is not plunging on into deeper
sorrows. Hope sits precariously upon the blood-
smeared earth playing on her faint harp of one lone
string. We do hope, and many pray, that civiliza-
tion will emerge on a friendlier basis with a co-
operate disposition, but the facts at this hour are
not reassuring. Hope is not enough, and faith is
not enough, repentance is the fundamental condition
which God requires and man must experience before
there is any solid ground for the feet of civilization.
Vesper Services Held
Vesper services, under the auspices of the Y. M.
( '. A., were conducted at 8 p. m. under the venerable
Davie Poplar by the Rev. W. D. Moss, of the Chapel
Hill Presbyterian Church.
Selecting as his text, "Whosoever shall compel
thee to go a mile go with him twain," Dr. Moss said
that life is two things. It is free and it is under
compulsion. How are we to be free and at the same
time meet the demands of compulsion ? he asked.
"Some individuals fight their compulsions and
do as they please and they wreck their lives. Others
yield to the stern necessity that is laid upon them
and become absorbed in the cause. They wreck
their lives, too. They are creatures of their en-
vironment, slaves of authority.
"Jesus Christ called men into the full, glad, free
life of the spirit. And when we learn to walk in the
spirit we will both hold our individual desires in
check and find a place in our experience for all the
legitimate compulsions that are laid upon us," he
said.
"Ours is a great age of compulsion," the minister
warned. "More than at any time in the past de-
mands of every nature are going to be made upon
us. How are we going to meet them ? The only
hope for us in these most strenuous days is the Gos-
pel of the spirit that leaves a man bigger in his

tion and will be ready for occupation by September,
according to present plans. This handsome struc-
ture, which is being erected at a minimum cost of
$125,000, will be the home of the Electrical and
Civil Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics de-
partments.
Several of the old buildings on the campus will
also be remodeled and renovated during the summer.
Plans are under consideration for the erection
of new dormitories in the immediate future to take
care of the great influx of students expected.
Along with this progress in building on the cam-
pus comes the construction of a new Presbyterian
Church and post office. Both will be completed be-
fore September, with a cost of approximately $50,000
each.
TO WELCOME FRESHMEN
This year's freshman class at the State University
has the distinction and pride of being the initial
first year class to put into actual operation a move-
ment on the campus whereby next year's freshmen
will receive a hearty welcome from the sophomores
as soon as they land on the Hill, not the "rah-rah"
sort of greeting that will send the new men shivering
to their rooms for seclusion, but the kind of welcome
that will have as its aim the interpretation of life on
the campus to the raw students and their assimila-
tion of the "Carolina spirit," as it is termed.
Not that sophomore classes at the University of
recent years have entertained malignant designs for
the first year men. In fact, there has been not a
single case of hazing on the campus since the tragic
Rand episode of 1912. And the spirit of the sopho-
more classes has been termed nothing short of excel-
lent.
But the rising sophomore class at a final get-to-
gether meeting of the year held here in Swain hall
Saturday night, June 7th, decided unanimously to
break away from the semi-neutral attitude held to-
ward the freshmen in the past and instead to ex-
tend open arms to them from the first moment they
arrive at the University.
In other words, each sophomore will appoint him-
self a committee to look after the new men when they
come to Chapel Hill next fall, and to help them find
themselves by co-operating with them in every way
possible.
Albert M. Coates started this movement last year.

SOUTH CAROLINA TRUSTEES PAY VISIT
The board of trustees of the University of South
Carolina, including Governor R. A. Cooper, visited
the University on May 24th and 25th for the pur-
pose of inspecting the University plant and equip-
ment. President W. S. Currell, of the South Caro-
lina University, also accompanied the trustees.
The visiting committee of the University of North
Carolina board, composed of W. N. Everett, C. G.
Wright, Graham Kenan and Z. V. Walzer, accom-
panied by Governor Bickett, met the visitors in
Chapel Hill and conferred with them.
Conferences were held with the faculty members,
when matters pertaining to the organization and ad-
TRUSTEES HOLD IMPORTANT MEETINGS
Two unusually important meetings of the Board
of Trustees were held during commencement week,
the first in Raleigh, on Monday, June 16th, which
resulted in the election of Dr. H. W. Chase as presi-
dent, and the second on Tuesday night at the Uni-
versity, at which the regular business of the year
was passed upon.
Dr. Chase Elected
Dr. Chase's election followed a prolonged session
devoted to hearing the report of the special com-
mittee appointed to investigate the qualifications of
those suggested to succeed the late President Graham.
Five hours were consumed in the reading of the re-
port. During the reading, an opinion was rendered
by Attorney-General Manning, at the request of
Governor Bickett, to the effect that in conformity
with an act passed by the General Assembly of 1909,
members of the Board were disqualified from hold-
ing positions in institutions of which they were trus-
tees. This ruling, which was generally upheld by
the Board, automatically removed from considera-
tion the names of Secretary Daniels and Mr. R. D.
W. Connor, both of whom had been prominently
mentioned in connection with the position. Upon
the conclusion of the report, nominations were called
for, and the first ballot was. taken in which Dr.
Chase received 26 votes, Dr. Howard Rondthaler
22, President F. L. McVey, of the University of
Kentucky, 9, Dr. Archibald Henderson 4, and Dr.
I. F. Lewis and Herman Harrell Home, 2 each.
The second ballot resulted in the election of Dr.
Chase, with 41 votes, and upon the third ballot th«
choice was made unanimous.
Meeting at Chapel Hill
In addition to adoption of the report of the Vis-
iting Committee, which covered the detailed plans of
the University for the coming year, the Trustees
transacted the following business at the Tuesday
night meeting:
A committee consisting of President Chase, Gen.
J. S. Carr, and Maj. John W. Graham, was appointed
to erect suitable monuments over the graves of the
late President and Mrs. Graham.
Governor Bickett was authorized to appoint a com-
mittee of three Trustees to act with similar commit-
tees from the alumni and faculty, to provide suitable
tablets in Memorial Hall in memory of the alumni
who lost their lives in the world war.
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
231
A committee of three Trustees was appointed to
act with President Chase and two members of the
faculty to be selected by the faculty in formulating
a policy for the use of the Kenan fund. The recom-
mendations of the committee are to be submitted
to the Board at the January meeting. R. I). W.
Connor, Haywood Parker, and J. K. Wilson were
named as Trustee representatives.
It was resolved that the University should pro-
vide for the support, education, and care of Edward
Kidder Graham, Jr., until he reaches his majority.
President Chase, M. C. S. Noble, Josephus Daniels,
R. D. W. Connor, and W. N. Everett were appointed
to formulate plans for the carrying out of the resolu-
tion.
Governor Bickett was authorized to appoint a
committee of five Trustees to co-operate with a com-
mittee from the faculty to make necessary arrange-
ments for the inauguration of President Chase.
The committees of which Col. J. Bryan Grimes
and John Sprunt Hill, respectively, have been chair-
men, and which have been devoting attention to the
development of University grounds, were combined
into one, to which President Chase and C. T. Wool-
Jen were added. The new committee was authorized
to employ a landscape engineer and carry forward
such plans for the future growth of the University
as seemed advisable.
Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late
Marvin Hendrix Stacy were presented and spread
upon the minutes of the Board.
R. O. T. C. AT UNIVERSITY
Maj. E. W. Boye, who has been detailed by the
government to establish the Reserve Officers' Train-
ing Corps, has arrived on the Hill and is busily en-
gaged in making the preliminary arrangements pre-
paratory to putting the unit into full operation next
fall.
TO ESTABLISH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
Beginning its operation next fall, a School of
Commerce and Finance will be established at the
University. The School of Commerce is a feature
that has been needed for a long time. Many stu-
dents desiring courses which would be in the direct
line of the business in which they expected to en-
gage have found only meager facilities at the Uni-
versity for life preparation. The new School of
Commerce and Finance will include the present De-
partments of Economics and of Rural Economies
and Sociology, and will offer all the courses now of-
fered in these departments, in addition to a large
number of specialized courses. The particular heads
under which these new courses will come are those
of Business Organization and Management, Account-
ing, and Commerce and Marketing.
GRAHAM MEMORIAL FUND REACHES
HALF-WAY GOAL
It was announced at Commencement by Secretary
Albert M. Coates that $70,000 had already been sub-
scribed to the Graham Memorial Fund. The larger
towns of the State, including Charlotte, Raleigh,
Durham, Asheville, Wilmington, and Greensboro,
have not yet launched the movement, although plans
for pushing it to a speedy and successful close are
being formulated in each instance.
Every local director in each community is being
strongly urged to make a thorough canvass as early
as possible. Those alumni who do not get in touch
with the directors are requested to make individual
subscriptions by mail or in person to Secretary
Coates.
With $70,000 already subscribed, the half-way
mark of the $150,000 goal has been practically
reached. The fact that the majority of the directors
have not yet sent in their reports apparently gives
confident assurance that the amount asked for will
be overscribed.
SUMMER SCHOOL HAS LARGE ATTENDANCE
The 32nd session of the University Summer
School, under the direction of Dr. Walker, opened
on June 24th with every indication of the most suc-
cessful term in its history.
As The Review goes to press, the registration
stands at 875. Many more students will be coming
in during the six weeks' term, and the total registra-
tion for the session is expected to go beyond the
1,000 mark.
UNIVERSITY ALUMNI BUY "CITIZEN"
The Asheville Citizen, Asheville's morning news-
paper, was purchased by three prominent Univer-
sity alumni on March 1st, namely, George Stephens,
'96, of Charlotte; Chas. A. Webb, '89, of Asheville;
and Haywood Parker, '87, of Asheville. Mr. Ste-
phens is a capitalist of Charlotte, and Mr. Webb is
United States Marshal, while Mr. Parker is an at-
torney of Asheville.
The University will have a Public Health Officer
next year.

THE UNIVERSITY IN LETTERS
A fitting memorial to the late Edward Graham,
which in itself serves as a monument to his thinking
and his labors, is the volume appearing with the
title "Education and Citizenship and Other Papers"
(G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London,
1919). The selection of the contents and the gen-
eral work of editing was done by Dr. L. R. Wilson,
with the assistance of Professors H. W. Chase and
Edwin Greenlaw. The volume is prefaced with a
brief but appropriate introduction by President Ed-
win A. Alderman, of the University of Virginia.
The contents of the volume readily fall under four
headings : Education and Democracy, Culture and
Citizenship, Student and College Relations, Occa-
sional Papers. No extended or detailed review of
the volume seems necessary in this publication, when
so many of President Graham's utterances have al-
ready found publication during the years of his en-
ergetic leadership here, as dean, acting-president,
and president. Suffice it to say that the volume, as
it stands, is a vision of the mind and heart of the
young scholar and clean thinker, who wrought out
his philosophy in his life and made his ideals of
education prevail in an extraordinarily vigorous and
enduring fashion. His fundamental and expressed
ideal was to plan the University "in harmony with
the spirit of modern democracy;" and these finely-
chiseled essays amply demonstrated the persistence
of his efforts and the fidelity of bis impulses in
translating the ideal into a harmonious and well-
ordered realitv.
An article of unusual interest, original, provoca-
tive, and full of "dynamite," is "Reconstructing the
Ph.D. in English," by Professor Norman Foerster,
of the English Department (The Nation, Spring
Educational Supplement, May 10, 1919). The ar-
ticle is significant of the reconstruction spirit which
is abroad in the land today; and challenges atten-
tion by the vigor of its indictments and the revolu-
tionary nature of its proposals. The author divides
men into three classes : the scientific investigator,
the dilettante, and the humanist. In his view, the
new era calls most, not for the first two, but for
the last ; and an outline for the studies and disci-
pline, according to the humanistic standard, is briefly
sketched. The groundwork for the candidate's train-
ing is found chiefly — more than half of it — in the
English Department; and the remainder in such
subjects as Philosophy, History, the Classics, Com-
parative Literature, and Modern Languages other
than English. The thesis is posited to be a "critical
dissertation, giving proof of the candidate's wide
and well-assimilated reading and, especially, of his
ability to think, of his love of ideas." There is every
reason to believe that the suggestions contained in
this article will provoke thought and wide discus-
sion.
In the National Magazine for April, 1919, there
is an interesting and stimulating article, fully illus-
trated, entitled "The Father of Rural Credits in
North Carolina." The author is Mr. S. R. Winters,
now head of the Washington Bureau of the Raleigh
Neivs and Observer. The article is an appreciation
of Mr. John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, and an esti-
mate of his labors in North Carolina since 1903,
principally with reference to his work in fathering
a chain of co-operating farmers' credit societies in
this State.

CITATIONS
Ernest Graves, '00
— Awarded the distinguished service cross by General
Pershing. He is a native of Chapel Hill. Holds the rank of
colonel. The citation follows:
"Col. Ernest Graves — For exceptional meritorious conduit
and distinguished services. He was charged with the construc-
tion of the Gievres storage depot and later was appointed
engineer officer of the Intermediate Section, Services of Sup-
ply, where he was placed in charge of all construction projects
west of Bourges. As engineer officer of Base Section No. 2,
and of the Advance Section S.O.S., he performed the duties
with which he was instructed in a conspicuously meritorious
manner. In the many responsible capacities in which he was
employed, the performance of his duty was characterized by
sound judgment and inspiring zeal."
John E. Ray, '08
— Awarded, posthumously, the distinguished service cross for
heroic conduct during an attack in the Bellicourt area, in
which he was killed while rendering aid to liis stricken com-
rades. He was a member of the 119th infantry of the 30th
division.
Mrs. Ray has lately received from Claude W. Allen of
Creedmoor a letter giving further particulars of her son's
death. "I was with him when he was wounded," wrote the
Creedmoor man, "and carried him in my arms into a tunnel,
where, with one more, we dressed his wound and carried him
back through shell fire to where the ambulance could take
him."
"I don't believe," said the letter from Mr. Allen, "you will
grieve over his death when I tell you what a noble death he
died and what a great cause he was engaged in. Right in the
front, going over the top, giving his life to relieve and aid
suffering men, he was known to all of us as a fearless man
when duty called him. ' '
According to Mr. Allen, Captain Ray was wounded on
September 30 and not on September 29, as Mrs. Ray supposed.
On this Allen writes : ' ' He was wounded about 6 o 'clock on
September 30, on the main Hindenburg line, about three hun-
dred yards to the left of Bellicourt. We wrent over the top
on Sunday morning, September 29, at 5:50. We broke and
captured the Hindenburg line and were using the tunuel that
you heard so much talk of as an aid station when Captain Ray
was wounded. He stepped out of the tunnel to show a friend
of his to headquarters when we heard him call us. We looked
and saw him fall about ten feet away. I rushed to him, took
him in my arms and brought him back in the tunnel, where we
dressed his wound.''
Joseph Henry Johnston, '10
— Awarded the distinguished service cross, posthumously,
recently. Lieutenant Johnston was killed in action in France
on October 15.
Benjamin H. Bunn, '10
— Awarded the croix de guerre for extraordinary bravery
displayed in action. Lieutenant Bunn was with the 371st
infantry, which figured most conspicuously in the campaign of-
fensive of September 25, 1918, although the regiment lost 67
per cent in casualties. That its bravery and prowess, its spirit
of sacrifice was recognized by the French is attested by the
fact that the regiment was cited as a whole for extraordinary
heroism. The regimental flag was decorated by the French on
February 1, at Brest, on the eve of the departure for home.
Lieutenant Bunn was commissioned at Fort Oglethorpe in
the initial officers ' training camp. He went to Camp Jackson
and there trained the colored boys for duty overseas. The regi-
ment embarked for France in April, 1918, and in due time
reached the port of Brest.
Robert Bruce Mason, '13
— Awarded French croix de guerre. He is at present a first
lieutenant of the third machine gun battalion, first division,
American expeditionary forces, and is with the army of occu-
pation in Germany.
Newspaper articles and letters signed by commanding of-
ficers show that Lieutenant Mason distinguished himself in no
small degree. He was especially gallant in the Argonne forest
battle and wears the French croix de guerre as a token of the
appreciation felt by the French army officers.
At the end of a citation for the Durham boy, C. A. Davis,
major, 3rd machine gun battalion, in a few words tells the
story of gallantry. They are as follows :
' ' Recommended for captaincy.
' ' Recommended for a distinguished service cross.
' ' Recommended for a croix de guerre. ' '
The citation reads as follows:
"The battalion commander cites the following officer for
marked efficiency and devotion to duty:
"First Lieut. Robert B. Mason, third machine gun bat-
talion, first division, American expeditionary forces.
"An officer of marked efficiency, zeal and loyalty. Has
throughout his service in the division shown himself a model
of soldiery character and has, in the discharge of his duties
as a platoon commander, at all times given proof of the charac-
teristics that have marked the best officers of the third ma-
chine gun battalion and the first division, to wit : loyalty,
self-denial, zeal and efficiency. ' '
William John Hoover, '16
— Awarded the French croix de guerre with palm and dis-
tinguished service cross, the former for heroic conduct dis-
played in action on the battle front on July 2, 1918, and the
latter for bravery in aerial combat with the famous Richthofen
circus on the western front. He entered the first Oglethorpe
camp in May, 1917, and was sent to Toronto to a Canadian
flying school, where he won his commission in the aviation
234
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
service. He went early to France. Captain Hoover is now
stationed at Rockwell Field, Coronado, Cal., 952 " I " avenue.
His citation and decoration order reads:
"The commander-in-chief, in the name of the President, has
awarded the distinguished service cross to the following named
officer for the act of extraordinary heroism described after
his name :
"First Lieut. William Jack Hoover, aviation section, 27th
aero squadron. For extraordinary heroism in action near
Verdilly, France, July 2, 1918. On the morning of July 2 his
flight patrol encountered the famous Richthofen circus. Lieut.
Hoover was simultaneously attacked by three of the enemy
and cut off from his comrades. By skilfully maneuvering he
avoided the effects of their concentrated fire and fearlessly
attacked the three. Although his machine was seriously dam-
aged, he killed one of the enemy pilots and destroyed his
plane, drove down another, apparently out of control, and
chased the third far into his own lines. He then continued
the patrol until shortage of gasoline forced him to return. ' '
James A. Hardison, Jr., '16
— Cited for extraordinary bravery in action in the fighting
around Verdun. He attended the first Oglethorpe camp and
was assigned to the 81st division. He holds the rank of first
lieutenant.
Noel Edward Patton, '17
— Awarded the distinguished service cross for extraordinary
heroism displayed in action. The citation reads :
"Sergeant Noel E. Patton, Company A, 344th battalion, tank
corps (A.S. No. 8669). For extraordinary heroism in action
near Woel, France, September 14, 1918. While on a recon-
naissance patrol under heavy machine gun fire Sergeant Patton
was seriously wounded and ordered to the rear. Refusing to
seek safety, he crawled to the assistance of two comrades,
whom he had seen disappear under a burst of shrapnel, and
with one arm useless, attempted to render aid while he was
himself suffering from loss of blood. Home address, Mrs. J. L.
Allen, mother, Fayetteville, N. C."

MRS. WALTER LEE LEDNUM
PRESIDENT
— E. E. Sams resigned his position with the State Depart-
ment of Education in May to take up law practice with his
uncle, A. F. Sams. He went to the department as chief clerk
in 1911 and then succeeded to the position of teacher training.
1899
H. M. Wagstaff, Secretary, Chapel Hill, N. C.
— This is to inform the members of 1899 who were absent
at the reunion, June 15-18, that you were unfortunate in not
being here. Twenty-six of us answered the roll-call, and our
great pleasure at being together was dampened only by your
absence. Nevertheless, we knew you were present in spirit,
and not a name went uncanvassed or failed of a strong
thought-wave for your welfare. The fine spirit of fellowship
which always characterized our class proved to have lost nonj
of its vigor. Palm-pressure was no mere formality among the
men of '99. Not a man but felt his spirit refreshed by the
contact with his fellows. We found our alma mater bigger
and better, but that to go on to higher service still she needs
our individual and collective forethought and loyalty supreme.
Our class president, J. S. Carr, Jr., marshalled our strength
at the alumni luncheon, and, with the wives present, we
made no mean representation at that gathering. T. Gilbert
Pearson served brilliantly as our spokesman, adroitly diverting
the great audience to the moods of nature and the didoes of
birds.
At a largely attended class eaucus it was unanimously agreed
that our quarter-century reunion in 1924 must be made the
greatest ever. Also the class mug to the oldest boy was
awarded to Bryan Grimes, aged 13 years, 10 months and 27
days, son of June Grimes, attorney, Washington, N. C. This
gift will go forward in due course. Other class matters were
attended to at this meeting, of which the secretary will in-
form you by ordinary process.
Altogether for the next mile-post in 1924!

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
The Story of Your Study Lamp
IF you were studying by an old smoky oil lamp and suddenly a
modern, sun-like MAZDA lamp were thrust into the room, the
contrast would be dazzling. That instant would unfold the
result of thirty years' development, research and manufacturing
in electric lighting.
And this development commenced
with Edison's first lamp — hand-made,
when electricity was rare.
The General Electric Company was a
pioneer in foreseeing the possibilities
of Edison's invention. Electric gene-
rators were developed. Extensive ex-
periments led to the design and con-
struction of apparatus which would
obtain electric current from far-away
waterfalls and deliver it to every city
home.
With power lines well distributed over
the country, the use of electric light-
ing extended. Street lighting de-
veloped from the flickering arc to the
General
General Office
Company
great white way. Electric signs and
floodlights made our cities brilliant at
night, searchlights turned night into
day at sea, and miniature lamps were
produced for the miner's headlight
and automobile.
While the making of the electrical in-
dustry, with its many, many inter-
ests, was developing, the General
Electric Company's laboratories con-
tinued to improve the incandescent
lamp, and manufacturing and dis-
tributing facilities were provided, so
that anyone today can buy a lamp
which is three times as efficient as the
lamp of a few years ago.

One often hears that comment. Settling an estate successfully calls for more than good
intentions. Principally it calls for years of "knowing how."
Our own considerable success in settling estates springs from long practical experience —
coupled with personal kindly consideration for the families of those who leave their affairs in our
hands.
