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.

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

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

The  organization  is  to  be  a  Send-Your-Mm  Club,

ing for  the  posts  of  honor.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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  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.

The  Reunion  of  Service  Alumni 

Major  L.  P.  McLcndon,  of  the  class  of  1912,  of 
Durham,  presided  over  the  victory  reunion  of  alumni 
who  have  returned  from  service.  This  reunion  was 
held  in  Gerrard  Hall  at  4  o'clock  on  the  afternoon 
of  Alumni  Day.  It  was  a  commencement  feature 
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 
will  no  doubt  show.  Major  McLendon  stated,  that 
the  list  of  Carolina  men  in  service  approximated 
3,000.  Major  McLendon  also  read  the  list  of  Caro- 
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.

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 
included  Fred  Archer,  '04,  of  Greensboro;  Judge 
W.  P.  Harding,  '04,  of  Charlotte ;  C.  B.  Ruffin,  '09, 
of  Bishopville^S.  C. ;  D.  B.  Teague,  '10,  of  Sanford; 
Isaac  Wright.  '05,  of  Clinton;  Albert  M.  Coates,  '18, 
of  Smithfield;  R.  H.  Wright,  '97,  of  Greenville; 
John  W.  Umstead,  '09,  of  Greensboro;  Cyrus 
Thompson,  Jr.,  '11,  of  Chapel  Hill;  Benjamin 
Wyche,  '94,  of  Charlotte;  Frank  Spruill,  '07,  of 
Lexington;  R.  F.  Moseley,  '19,  of  Clinton;  Claude 
Teague,  of  Wilson;  McCauley  Costner,  '07,  of 
Raleigh. 

In  the  Di  Hall 

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

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

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 
compulsions  and  in  a  happy  and  intelligent  mood 
toward  the  same." 


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-

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.

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.

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.

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

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."

— This  is  to  inform  the  members  of  1899  who  were  absent

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  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

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.

"HE  WAS  A  GOOD  FRIEND 

—BUT  A  POOR  EXECUTOR" 

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. 

Our  officers  will  be  glad  to  confer  with  you  in  regard  to  any  trust  or  banking  matters  you 
may  have  in  mind.
