ALUMNI  OF  THE  FOURTH  ESTATE 


Wanted:  Trained  Men 

The  University  Agency  has  voted  unanimously  that  the  University  needs 
a  stronger  and  more  healthy  support  from  the  citizens  of  North  Carolina.  It 
urges  the  State  to  become  better  acquainted  with  the  conditions  at  its  University, 
and  to  instruct  its  legislators  to  make  the  appropriation  asked  for  by  the 
authorities. 

The  University  Agency  realizes  the  fact  that  trained  young  men  are  the 
greatest  asset  to  any  state,  and  that  an  investment  in  higher  education  will  bring 
in  returns  doubled  many  times.  The  future  of  the  State  is  in  the  hands  of  the 
young  men  of  today,  and  we  implore  the  State  to  train  them  to  the  task. 

We  are  "doing  our  hit"  by  co-operating  with  Carolina  students  and  alumni 
in  protecting  their  credit,  their  homes  and  business  interests.  Write  us  or  come 
to  see  us  and  let  us  serve  you.

Number  7 


OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


To  the  Alumni: 

The  General  Assembly  of  1921  has,  in  the  truest 
sense  of  the  words,  "passed  into  history" — into  the 
history  of  North  Carolina.  Its  achievements  open 
a  new  chapter  in  the  development  of  a  great  State. 
Significant  as  are  its  contributions  to  the  material  wel- 
fare of  North  Carolina,  it  has  done  a  thing  of  even 
greater  moment  in  its  provision  for  the  young  men 
and  women  to  whom  the  destinies  of  the  State  will  be 
committed.  Nothing  the  State  could  have  done  would 
have  made  so  secure  its  own  future. 

The  fight  for  higher  education,  to  which  months  ago 
you  dedicated  yourselves,  is  won.  It  is  true  that  the 
six-year  building  program,  which  the  institutions 
honestly  thought  wisest  both  for  them  and  for  the 
State,  did  not  prevail.  But  the  two-year  program 
which  did  prevail  provides  adequate  funds  for  the 
period  which  it  covers,  and  nowhere  is  there  any  dis- 
position to  regard  it  as  a  substitute  for  the  full  pro- 
gram. It  is  simply  the  first  long  step  toward  its  full 
realization. 

The  University  is  safe.  Her  maintenance  funds 
have  been  more  than  doubled,  and  the  sum  for  build- 
ings and  permanent  improvements  during  the  next 
two  years  is  approximately  a  million  and  a  half  of 
dollars;  nearly  a  half  million  dollars  more  than  the 
State  has  expended  for  buildings  at  Chapel  Hill  dur- 
ing the  whole  history  of  the  University.  Just  as 
rapidly  as  buildings  can  be  erected,  the  present 
crowded  conditions  of  the  campus  can  be  relieved,  the 
number  of  students  increased,  and  adequate  teaching 
space  provided.  Salaries  can  be  kept  at  the  level 
at  which  the  timely  gift  of  the  General  Education 
Board  temporarily  placed  them,  so  that  a  strong  fac- 
ulty is  assured.  The  University,  in  short,  is  set  free 
for  fuller  and  finer  service  to  the  State.  She  takes 
up  her  task  with  new  vigor,  she  faces  the  future  with 
courage  and  confidence. 

No  formal  words  of  gratitude  can  ever  set  forth  the 
debt  which  the  University  owes  to  you,  her  alumni. 
Both  in  the  legislature  and  in  the  State  you  have  one 
and  all  striven  without  ceasing  for  her  welfare,  not 
in  any  spirit  of  selfish  ambition  for  her,  but  because 
you  believed  in  the  potency  of  the  service  she  could 
render  to  the  State.  Without  you,  the  fight  had  not 
been  won.  Because  of  you,  there  lie  ahead  secure 
years  of  growing  usefulness.  We,  to  whom  her  im- 
mediate future  is  committed,  pledge  you  that,  so  far 
as  in  us  lies,  we  will  be  worthy  of  the  trust  you  have 
reposed  in  us — that  the  University  you  love  so  well 
shall,  under  God,  go  forward  in  strength  and  in 
service. 

Faithfully  yours, 
H.  W.  CHASE,  President.

What  the  University  Gets 

Four  years  ago  the  University  gut  tor  maintenance 
$3:50,000  as  a  total  for  the  two-year  period  and  $500,- 


000  for  permanent  improvements.  Two  years  ago  the 
University  received  $430,000  as  a  total  two-year 
maintenance  fund.  The  legislature  recently  adjourned 
voted  $925,000  as  a  two-year  maintenance  fund 
($445,000  for  1921  and  $180,000  for  1922)  and  $1,490,- 
000  for  permanent  improvements  for  two  years.  The 
State  educational  and  benevolent  institutions  in  addi- 
tion to  adequate  maintenance  funds  are  to  receive 
a  total  of  $6,745,000  for  permanent  improvements. 
Also  these  institutions  have  the  assurance  that  upon 
the  wise,  prompt,  and  careful  administration  of  their 
trust  depends  the  entire  six-year  program. 

ODD 

What  it  Means  to  the  University 

The  action  of  the  legislature  provides  for  the  insane 
now  in  the  jails,  for  crippled  and  defective  children, 
for  unfortunate  women,  for  incorrigible  boys,  and 
for  the  congested  youth  in  the  colleges. 

The  action  of  the  legislature  means  that  the  Uni- 
versity is  in  time  to  be  second  to  no  university  in  the 
South.  Already  the  states  of  the  South  ai'e  sending 
in  their  congratulations  to  North  Carolina  on  her 
big  road,  institutional,  school,  and  public  welfare 
program,  and  are  asking  how  was  it  all  done.  It  means 
that  the  University  for  example  can  hold  her  strong 
men  and  compete  in  the  markets  of  the  world  for 
other  strong  men.  It  means  that  the  University  can 
not  only  live  but  also  grow  in  the  proportion  of  the 
needs  of  the  great  people  she  seeks  to  serve. 

DDD 

What  Is  Being  Done  Now 

It  is  planned  to  extend  the  railroad  from  Carrboro 
to  somewhere  back  of  the  power  house.  Three  pre- 
liminary surveys  have  already  been  made*.  A  loan  of 
$40,000  has  already  been  arranged  to  finance  the  build- 
ing of  the  road.  The  first  year  of  operation  will  pay 
for  the  road  in  saving  on  drayage.  A  preliminary 
report  has  been  made  on  extension  of  water,  heating. 
and  electric  service  lines. 

An  effort  is  being  made  to  get  a  camp  of  fifty 
convicts  from  the  State  prison  board  for  use  in  the 
building  of  the  railroad,  in  grading  new  tennis  courts 
ami  athletic  field,  in  making  of  a  park  of  500  acres 
of  woodland  adjoining  the  campus,  and  to  put  the 
Mason  farm  in  order  for  dairying  and  truck  farming. 

Preliminary  plans  are  being  made  for  language 
building,  history,  commerce,  and  public  welfare  build- 
ing, a  law  building,  additional  units  for  dining  hall, 
and  at   least  live  dormitories. 

These  plans  outlined  above  plus  $50,000  in  houses 
(to  lie  rented  to  the  congested  faculty),  plus  $58,000  in 
departmental  equipment,  plus  $35,000  in  needed  dor- 
mitory furniture,  will  as  estimated  by  Business  Mana- 
ger Woollen,  practically  round  out  the  $1,490,000  in 
two  years. 

The  executive  committee  of  the  trustees  elected  J. 
Bryan    Grimes,    Jas.    A.    Gray,    .John    Sprunt    Hill,

mission of  the  University.  This  commission  is  to 
select  the  architect  immediately,  and  all  the  prelimi- 
nary plans  will  be  turned  over  to  him.  A  construc- 
tion engineer  is  to  be  selected  to  co-operate  in  esti- 
mates with  the  architect.  It  is  planned  to  let  to  one 
construction  firm  at  one  time  a  $1,000,000  contract 
awarded  on  the  competitive  basis.  That  firm  will 
bring  in  a  labor  camp  and  set  up  a  village  with  its 
own  housing,  feeding  and  entertainment  provisions 
somewhat  distinct  and  distant  from  Chapel  Hill. 

DDD 

What  It  Means  to  the  Alumni 

Mr.  Alumnus,  this  program  has  a  meaning  for  you — 
a  responsibility  which  fits  down  snug  on  your 
shoulders. 

Prom  cellar  to  housetop  we  as  alumni  have  pro- 
claimed that  we  have  more  than  matched  dollar  for 
dollar  put  up  by  the  State  for  the  use  of  the  Uni- 
versity. We  have  dared  the  State  to  come  across. 
And  she  has  come! 

What  now?  First,  it  is  up  to  us  to  know  more 
about  Alma  Mater  than  ever  before — intimate,  de- 
tailed knowledge — so  we  can  help  her  work  out  her 
enlarged  program. 

Second,  to  dig  down  into  our  pockets  to  fill  out 
The  Complete  University.  The  State  has  assumed  the 
job  of  housing  and  feeding  and  teaching  the  student 
body.  But  it  is  up  to  us  to  enrich  the  campus  life 
through  the  provision  of  essentials  which  will  round 
out  the  development  of  the  University:  scholarships, 
fellowships,  endowments  for  lectures  in  special  fields, 
the  establishment  of  book  funds,  special  publications, 
the  beautification  of  the  campus,  the  Alumni  Loyalty 
Fund,  and  the  Graham  Memorial. 

And  the  time — is  now!

country. 


COLLEGE  PAPERS  FORM  ASSOCIATION 

At  the  invitation  of  Daniel  L.  Grant,  editor-in-chief

news  and  college  newspapers. 

It  was  the  first  such  meeting  ever  held  in  North 
Carolina.  The  editors,  including  six  women,  arranged 
an  interchange  of  news  between  their  papers,  organ- 
ized a  prize  contest  for  the  best  news  work,  and 
planned  other  matters  of  mutual  interest.  President 
Chase  and  Professors  Hibbard  and  Graham  spoke  to 
the  meeting.

AN  EPIC  IN  DEMOCRACY  AND  PROGRESS 

(  Dedicated  to  the  Unnamed  Soldiers     deployed  from  the  Mountains  to  the  Sea"  ) 


The  State  of  North  Carolina  in  the  view  of  the 
News  and  Observer  is  in  a  valiant  frame  of  mind. 
In  the  face  of  fraction  and  hard  times  the  legislature 
of  1921  "seized  the  hour  of  decision  with  the  master- 
ful faith  of  the  people  in  heroic  mood"  and  voted  to 
build  5,500  miles  of  hard-surfaced  roads,  a  greater 
public  school  system  and  university,  more  adequate 
women's  college,  agricultural  and  engineering  college, 
teacher  training  schools,  hospitals  and  asylums.  North 
Carolina  by  a  single  leap  has  challenged  the  emula- 
tion of  the  Southern  states  and  has  caught  the  atten- 
tion of  the  nation.  Those  who  formerly  "viewed  with 
alarm"  and  shame  can  now  "point  with  pride"  and 
rejoice  in  the  mood  of  a  people  "resurgent,  progres- 
sive, victorious." 

The  mightiest  single  force  in  this  working  of  this 
hopeful,  progressive  revolution  in  a  pessimistic  re- 
actionary time  has  been  the  newspapers  which  in 
news  columns  and  editorials  from  October  to  the  last 
vital  legislative  roll  call  hammered  away  upon  a  slow- 
changing  public  mind  to  the  devoted,  patriotic  end 
that  roads,  schools,  asylums,  and  colleges  should  be 
built  for  the  progress  of  a  great  people. 

Four  public  figures  stand  out  in  the  revolution. 
Ex-Governor  Bickett  championed  an  honest  taxation 
system  as  the  basis  of  State  progress.  Governor  Mor- 
rison as  the  leader  of  the  whole  people  spoke  out 
boldly  for  the  big  bond  issues  when  bold  voices  were 
imperative  and  decisive.  R.  A.  Doughton,  "Grand 
Old  Man  of  the  Mountains."  identified  his  personal 
power,  clear  insight,  and  political  leadership  with  the 
progressive  good  roads  program.  Walter  Murphy, 
known  to  his  host  of  loyal  followers  as  the  redoubtable 
"Pete,"  made  the  cause  of  youth  and  the  unfortu- 
nates his  very  own.  For  them  he  maneuvered,  talked, 
fought,  tightened  the  lines,  and  focused  the  final 
issue. 

The  Connor-Doughton-Bowie  Bill 

The  North  Carolina  Good  Roads  Association,  stand- 
ing on  the  original  foundations  of  Professor  Joseph 
Holmes  and  Dr.  Joseph  Hyde  Pratt  and  on  the 
present  efficient  administration  of  Commissioner 
Frank  Page,  presented  a  solid  front  to  the  legis- 
lature. The  sentiment  stimulated  by  Col.  T.  L.  Kirk- 
patrick  and  the  Citizens'  Highway  Association  was 
absorbed  by  the  older  and  more  powerful  association. 
Headed  by  such  public  spirited  citizens  as  President 
W.  A.  McGirt,  Bennehan  Cameron.  Heriot  Clarkson, 
John  Sprunt  Hill.  Dr.  L.  B.  Morse,  Charles  Whedbee, 
N.  Buekner.  IT.  D.  Williams.  T.  Lenoir  Gwyn,  W.  C. 
Boren,  and  others,  in  co-operation  with  the  abb1  and 
aggressive  secretaryship  of  Miss  Hattie  M.  Berry, 
organizer,  agitator  and  womanly  genius  of  the  move- 
ment, the  association  joined  forces  with  the  big  bond 
issue  ideas  of  Governor  Morrison,  the  political  leader- 
ship of  R.  A.  Doughton.  II.  C.  Connor.  Jr.,  Tarn  C. 
Bowie,  W.  N.  Everett.  R.  0.  Everett,  Walter  Murphy, 
and  L.  R.  Varser,  of  the  majority  party,  and  such 
progressive  leaders  of  the  minority  as  J.  C.  McBee, 
J.  A.  Hendrix,  S.  O.  McGuire  and  R.  A.  Dewar. 
When  all  pooled  their  strength  behind  the  fifty  million 
dollar  bond  issue  tor  roads,  a  new  chapter  of  inter- 
county  understanding,   commerce   and   progress  was 


written  into  the  statutory  and  organic  life  of  North 
( larolina. 

State  Building 

A  state  that  thus  decided  to  "spend  millions  on 
her  body  also  voted  to  spend  millions  on  her  soul"  as 
treasured  and  reflected  in  her  schools,  colleges,  hos- 
pitals and  asylums.  To  attempt  to  summarize  this 
movement  in  greater  State  building  would  be  an 
attempt  to  narrate  the  story  of  a  people  aflame  in  the 
great  cause  of  youth  and  the  commonwealth.  It 
would,  underneath  and  through  it  all,  be  largely  a 
study  in  the  organizing  capacity,  team  spirit,  relent- 
less energy  and  enthusiasm  of  the  alumni  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  the  colleges. 

From  the  evening  of  October  2.  when  forty-three 
alumni  rushed  into  Chapel  Hill  from  the  ends  of  the 
State  to  face  the  emergency  problems  of  dormitory 
congestion  right  on  to  the  Murphy-Everett-McCoin- 
Long-Morrison  compromise  settlement  in  March  the 
alumni,  on  fire  for  Alma  Mater  and  the  State,  took  the 
field  in  a  campaign  of  information,  agitation,  and 
organization,  and  marched  breast  forward  to  a  vic- 
tory that  reached  all  the  way  across  North  Carolina. 

Greensboro  Enlists  for  a  Crusade 

In  Greensboro  on  the  night  of  October  11  at  the 
conclusion    of    an    enthusiastic    and    devoted    alumni 
meeting,  called  by  Frederick  Archer  and  enlisted  on 
the  spot  for  a  crusade  for  higher  ediication,  Presi- 
dent-elect Herbert  B.  Gunter  appointed  Charles  Weill, 
Sam  Dickson,  C.  R.  Wharton,  E.  B.  Jeffress,  and  C.  M. 
Waynick  as  a  committee  to  meet  with  him  next  morn- 
ing  when   the  fighting  nucleus   of  a  movement  was 
committed  to  break  out  in  all  the  newspapers  of  North 
Carolina.     This  movement  from   its  very  State-wide 
public  nature  was  to  be  a  citizens'  movement.     The 
trail-blazing  Greensboro  News  and  the  public  spirited 
Greensboro  Chamber  of  Commerce  took  to  their  bosoms 
this  cause  of  the  congested  youth  in  the  colleges  and 
the  congested  insane  in  the  jails.    Under  the  auspices 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  a  conference  of  citizens 
of  the  State  was  held  at  the  North  Carolina  College  on 
the   night    of   November   12   and   raised   $4,500   as   a 
publicity  fund  for  telling  the  people  the  facts.     Ad- 
dresses were  made  by  Gov.  Bickett,  President  Rond- 
thaler,  J.  E.  Latham.  Toastmaster  Ireland,  and  others. 
The  following  subscribed  $500  apiece:  J.  E.  Latham, 
proponent   of  the   fund.   A.  M.   Scales.  John    Sprunl 
Hill,  Clem  Wright,  R.  G.  Vaughan,  E.  Sternberger, 
Smith  Richardson,  Anonymous,  and  Mrs.  R.  J.  Rey- 
nolds.    An  association  was  organized  to  manage  this 
fund  under  the  chairmanship  of  A.  M.  Scales  whose 
very  name  carried  its  own  story  of  integrity  and  altru- 
ism.     The   activity   of   the   association    was   not   only 
reflected    in    the    splendid    work    of    Weill,    Gunter, 
Wharton,  Robins  and  others  like  Elias,  in  Asheville, 
as  they  stimulated  the  interest  of  Chambers  of  Com- 
merce.   Rotary   and    Kiwanis   Clubs   about    the    State, 
but  also  most  vividly  in  those  two  stirring  advertise- 
ments of  Sam  Dickson   and   A.  M.  Scales  which  ap- 
peared after  Christmas  and  hit  a  million  readers  in 
the  face  from  a  whole  page  in  all  except  one  of  the 
thirty-five  dailies  in  North  Carolina.

The  Alumni  Break  Out  Everywhere 

The  night  following  the  Greensboro  alumni  meet- 
ing of  October  11,  alumni  meetings  as  usual  and 
far  more  than  usual  in  numbers  and  consecration, 
were  held  to  celebrate  University  Day.  President 
Chase.  Professors  Bernard,  L.  R.  Wilson,  Hendei 
Patterson,  Noble,  Dean  Bradshaw  and  others  spoke  at 
some  of  the  meetings  held  all  over  the  State  to  con- 
sider the  facts  of  college  congestion.  Meetings  were 
held  in  Charlotte,  Dunn,  Durham,  Edenton,  Fayette- 
ville,  Gastonia,  Greensboro,  Hillsboro,  Laurinburg, 
Lexington,  Raleigh.  Spindale,  Spray,  Tarboro,  Wil- 
mington, Winston-Salem,  Kinston,  New  Bern,  Reids- 
ville,  Rocky  Mount,  and  Boone.  The  Hillsboro  Alumni 
Association,  assembled  by  J.  C.  Webb,  October- 12, 
in  accordance  with  the  spirit  of  a  small  but  determined 
group  sent  an  urgent  telegram  of  information  to  every 
alumni  association  in  the  State  and  followed  this  with 
a  letter  to  3,500  alumni  shot  through  with  urgent 
facts  and  signed  by  S.  M.  Gattis,  J.  C.  Webb,  T.  N. 
Webb,  P.  ('.  Collins,  and  W.  A.  Beartt.  Professor 
Branson  dug  out  the  vital  facts  of  wealth  and  Dr.  L. 
R.  Wilson  in  his  Rocky  Mount  address  assembled  the 
facts  and  figures  of  college  needs  and  support  in  such  a 
masterful  way  that  Professor  Branson  used  it  in  its 
entirety  in  the  News  Letter.  Business  Manager 
Woollen's  figures  and  President  Chase's  interpreta- 
tions  in    "Facts   Aboul    the    University,"    Branson's 

figures  of  State  wealth  and  college  gestion,  L.  R. 

Wilson's  Rocky  Mounl  address  ami  also  his  summary, 
"What  the  University  is  Asking  For,"  Lenoir  Cham- 
bers' review,  "At  Work  For  North  Carolina,"  ami 
Hamilton's  presidential  address  before  the  State  His- 
torical and  Literary  Society  were  all  rilled  with  vital 
information  or  struck  keynotes  of  progress.  Alumni 
committees  of  action,  appointed  all  over  the  State  to 
take  charge  of  the  local  fields  and.  co-operate  with  the 
central  chairman,  took  the  facts  to  the  people. 

Pioneer  Assemblies  of  the  People 

The  movement  passed  beyond  the  bounds  of  an 
alumni  movement  and  soon  assumed  the  nature  of  a 
people's  crusade.  The  first  mass  meeting  of  the 
people,  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  whole  history  of 
higher  education,  was  held  at  Wentworth.  Price 
Gwynn,  Jr.,  Luther  Hodges,  Win.  J.  Cordon,  M.  T. 
Smith,  W.  R.  Dalton,  W.  E.  Price,  J.  E.  Holmes.  Miss 
Blakeney,  and  others  organized  a  public  meeting  of 
citizens  from  all  over  the  county  who  met  in  the  court- 
house in  the  interest  of  the  crowded  colleges  of  North 
Carolina  and  whose  influence  radiated  back  throughout 
the  county.  Public  rallies  were  held  in  the  courthouse 
of  Wake,  where  R.  B.  House.  J.  H.  Boushall,  0.  J. 
Coffin  (whose  forthright  editorials  were  soon  to  clear 
the  way),  Joseph  Cheshire.  President  Riddick,  II. 
M.  London,  C.  V.  York.  Miss  Elizabeth  Kelly,  and 
others  promoted  the  cause,  and  in  the  courthouse 
of  New  Hanover,  whei-e  C.  C.  Covington,  W.  P. 
Stacy,  J.  G.  Murphy,  Marsden  Bellamy,  T.  C. 
Wright,  J.  0.  Carr,  Milton  Calder,  H.  M.  Solomon 
and  others  sponsored  a  quickly  planned  assembly 
addressed  by  Prof.  Branson,  Prof.  Withers  of  the 
State  College,  Miss  Laura  Coit  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina College,  and  Prof.  Wilson  of  the  East  Carolina 
Training  School. 

Charlotte  Covenants  With  Progress 

The  largest  single  meeting  of  the  campaign  was 
held  in  early  December  in  Charlotte  under  the  stimu- 


lus of  W.  A.  Jenkins.  C.  W.  Tillett,  Jr.,  H.  P.  Hard- 
ing, F.  O.  Clarkson,  S.  B.  Alexander,  M.  R.  Dunna- 
gan,  who  pounded  away  in  The  Cha  lotte  Observer, 
Brent  Drane,  who  drafted  the  mass  meeting  resolu- 
tions, Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  T.  Shore,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Kilgo, 
Jr.,  and  others.  Col.  T.  L.  Kirkpatrick,  Dr.  C.  Alphonso 
Smith,  President  Foust,  Professor  Withers  and  others 
made  addresses.  Between  500  and  1,000  representative 
people  voted  unanimously  for  a  bond  issue  for  ade- 
quate State  institutions.  A  fund  of  $1,500  (Word 
Wood  $500,  A.  -I.  Draper  $500,  C.  W.  Tillett  $100, 
S.  B.  Alexander  and  David  Clark  $101))  was  raised 
by  M.  R.  Dunnagan  and  C.  <>.  Kuester  to  carry  the 
l'aets  to  the  people  in  the  county  newspapers  and 
thus  supplement  the  proposed  publicity  of  the  Greens- 
boro Association.  An  association  was  formed  with 
John  R.  Purer  as  treasurer  and  this  association 
spread  the  educational  gospel  in  the  country  regions 
of  piedmont  and  western   North  Carolina. 

The  Students  Pass  the  Word  to  the  People 
Liason  was  established  between  the  student  bodies 
of  the  University,  the  North  Carolina  College,  the 
State  College,  ami  the  Training  Schools.  The  student 
body  of  the  University,  under  the  leadership  of  the 
Campus  Cabinel  Committee,  composed  of  .John  Kerr, 
Chairman,  T.  C.  Taylor,  W.  R.  Berryhill,  C.  Holding, 
B.  C.  Brown,  W.  11.  Bobbitt,  Boyd  Harden,  and  R. 
L.  Thompson,  in  a  mass  meeting  10(1(1  strong  adopted 
a  resolution  of  information  introduced  by  E.  E. 
Rives  and  sent  it  to  the  people  of  the  State.  Chair- 
man John  Kerr  arranged  for  an  inter-collegiate  stu- 
dent committee  and  from  a  session  in  Raleigh  issued 
a  clearcul  statemenl  to  tic  people.  John  Kerr,  R 
L.  Thompson,  B.  ('.  Brown,  treasurer  for  the  com- 
mittee, raised  around  $300  from  students  and  out- 
of-state  alumni  to  pay  for  the  expense  of  the  student 
campaign.  Dan  ((rant,  editor-in-chief  of  the  Tar 
Heel,  got  out  a  special  edition  of  the  Tar  Heel, 
and  sent  to  every  alumnus  a  copy  with  its  lively 
pictures  and  stories  of  congestion.  John  Kerr  spoke 
before  a  district  meeting  held  in  Greensboro  of  dele- 
gates from  parent-teachers  associations  in  the  Pied- 
mont section  and  also  before  the  Stale  Teachers' 
Assembly  held  in  Asheville  during  the  Thanksgiving 
holidays.  Tyre  C.  Taylor,  editor-in-chief  of  the  Caro- 
lina Magazine,  published  a  special  edition  of  the 
azine  and  sent  a  copy  to  every  member  of  the 
legislature.  Philip  Hettleman,  business  manager,  ran 
a  half  dozen  half-page  advertisements  in  the  Tar 
Ifiil  which  were  paid  for  by  local  business  firms  and 
which  called  upon  the  students  to  write  to  the  home- 
folks  to  ask  them  to  express  their  sentiments  to  mem- 
bers of  the  legislature.  The  intercollegiate  student 
committee,  according  to  a  tentative  plan  of  Mr.  David 
Clark  of  Charlotte,  arranged  for  and  carried  through 
a  state-wide  canvass  by  counties  during  the  Christmas 
holidays.  John  Kerr  and  B.  C.  Brown,  in  the  name 
of  the  intercollegiate  student  committee,  sent  out  a 
letter  to  the  president  of  each  senior  class  in  the  high 
schools,  emphasizing  the  relation  of  the  high  school 
students  to  dormitory  congestion  in  the  colleges  and 
asking  them  to  knock  at  doors  of  the  legislature.  Like- 
wise, the  valiant  committee  at  the  North  Carolina  Col- 

I reached  vitally  the  high  school  students  all  over 

the  Stab1.  Thus,  to  petitions  from  civic  clubs  all  over 
the  State  were  added  an  avalanche  of  petitions  from 
senior  classes  in  the  high  schools  now  up  in  arms  over 
the  congestion  which  they  faced  as  applicants  for  ad- 
mission into  the  crowded  colleges.

Christmas  Mobilization 

The  movement,  gathering  momentum  each  passing 
week,  was  giv  punch  by  the  score  and  more 

,m'\  alumni,  intercollegiate,  and  citizen  meet- 
i  ;  held  during  the  Chrisl  3  holidays.  President 
Chase,  Professors  Bernard,  L.  R.  Wilson,  Noble, 
Patterson.  Branson  it,  Carroll,  and  others  spoke 

at  one  or  another  of  these  mei  tings,  sometimes  in  con- 
junction   with   representatives   of  the   State   College, 

NTortb  Carolina  Coll  !ge,  and  the  Eas1  Carolina 
Training  School.  Meetings  were  held  in  Lenoir, 
Rutherfordton,  Rockingham,  Madison,  Hertford,  Lex- 
ington, Gastonia,  Sanford,  Statesville,  Oxford,  Mon- 
Bern,  Salisbury,  Winston-Salem,  Kinston, 
Asheville,  .Marion.  Clinton,  Greensboro,  Concord, 
Goldsboro  Burlington,  Carthage,  and  Lincolnton 
during  the  holidays  an  I  in  oilier  towns  after  the  holi- 
days. 

Broadsides!     Advertisements!     Resolutions! 

At    this   time  appeared  R.   D.   W.   Connor's  three 

broadsides  in   C  ig  dailies  on  the  educational 

crisis  and.  North  Carolina's  ability  to  meet  it — clear. 

ight-from-thc-shoulder  and  convincing.     The  time 

was  nay.  ;  of  the  Dickson-Scales  whole 

page  advertisements  in  the  thirty-four  dailies  I  ■  put 
the  State  agog  with  the  glaring  facts  of  dormitory 
congestion  and  classified  numbers  denied  admission  by 
the  colleges.    The  n  m  Asheville  to  Wil- 

mington hammered  away  on  the  facts  and  figures.  The 
Charlotte  Observer  editorially  analyzed  the  meaning 
of  the  overlapping  2  udents  turned   away  and 

interpreted  the  reducible  Sgures  as  human  symbols  of 
an  irrepressible  crisii  maximum  consider- 

ation of  the  minimum  millions."  The  first  adver- 
tisement was  followed  in  a  week  by  a  half-page 
a.!\  ent  in  the  thirty-four  dailies,  graphic  with 

tlv  Bransonian-Dickson-Scales  pronouncement  of 
North  Carolina's  <  ealth  and  ability  to  carry  on  great 
State  enterprises.  In  the  midst  of  the  popular  effect 
of  these  astounding  figures  of  the  congestion  of  the 
colleges  aid  the  wealth  of  the  State,  strategic  towns 
were  stumped  from  the  mountains  to  the  sea  and 
a  number  of  alumni  meetings  and  public  assem 
blies  definitely  passed  resolutions  and  took  to  tic 
streets  and  woods  for  a  twenty  million  dollar  bond 
issue  for  Stat-  institutions.  At  Lenoir  under  the  spur 
of  Horace  Sisk  and  T.  B.  Story  resolutions  for  the 
nty  millions  for  institutions  was  joined  with  fifty 
million  dollars  for  roads  and  at  Oxford  the  twenty 
millions  for  State  institutions  was  joined  by  Guy 
Phillips  and  Ben  Lassiter  with  seventy-five  thousand 
for  tin'  local  high  school.  Both  resolutions  went 
through  with  a  bane. 

Trustees  Vote  and  Alumni  Draw  the  Line 

As  1) ruber  closed  President  Chase  submitted  the 

six-year  University  program  to  the  trustees  who 
adopted  the  resolution  of  Major  John  W.  Graham  to 
present  the  whole  program  to  the  legislature.  Then 
in  January  came  the  report  of  the  Stat"  budgel  com- 
mission which  cut  the  six-year  pilau  of  the  Slate  educa- 
tional and  benevolent  institutions  to  two  years  and 
the  twenty  million  dollars  to  less  than  live.  The 
line  of  battle  was  drawn  when  the  presidents  of  the 
alumni  associations  of  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina,  '  R.  D.  W.  Connor),  X.  C.  College  for  Women. 

(Miss  Laura  ''nit  ..  State  Coll C    V.  York  i,  ami 

East  Carolina  Training  School,  (Miss  J.  Dorsetl  I,  is- 
sued their  joint  statement  to  the  people  and  sent  their 


memorial  to  the  legislature  calling  for  the  whole  six- 
year  program.  The  trustees  met  again  and  united 
back  of  the  aggressive  stand  of  such  clear  thinking 
and  hard  hitting  champions  as  Walter  Murphy,  C. 
A.  Jonas,  W.  R.  Dalton,  and  W.  F.  Taylor,  the 
further  service  of  all  of  whom  was  to  be  manifold  for 
the  six-year  program.  A  committee  composed  of 
Claudius  Dockery,  chairman,  -T.  Bryan  Grimes,  and 
J.  S.  Manning  was  appointed  to  join  President  Chase 
in  presenting  the  case  to  the  appropriations  committee. 
Brent  Drane  as  a  building  engineer  re-enforced  the 
solidity  of  Business  Manager  Woollen's  figures  and 
President  Chase's  able  and  clear  presentation  to  the 
committee.    The  fight  had  come  to  a  head. 

The  State-Wide  Organization 

The  skeleton  State  organization  which  had  gradually 
been  developed  since  early  October  was  now  rounded 
out  and  definitely  consolidated  in  the  central  chair- 
man, in  three  capacities  as  chairman  of  the  central 
publicity  committee  (besides  the  chairman,  composed 
of  Lenoir  Chambers.  W.  S.  Bernard,  E.  R.  Rankin, 
L.  P.  Wilson.  E.  C.  Branson, .F.  F.  Bradshaw,  and  E. 
W.  Knight,  appointed  by  President  Chase),  and  as 
chairman  of  an  informal  alignment  of  3,500  alumni, 
and  as  central  chairman  of  a  State-wide  organization 
of  fighting  groups,  whose  State  contacts  had  gradually 
widened  from  alumni  units  to  citizen  units.  Fighting 
"•roups  of  alumni  and  citizens  were  organized  formally 
or  informally  in  practically  every  county  in  North 
Carolina,  (her  one  hundred  men  had  early  rushed 
forward  to  accept  the  responsibility  for  fighting 
groups  in  more  than  one  hundred  county  seats  and 
strategic  towns  of  the  State.  Alumni  and  friends, 
through  the  efficient  treasurership  of  Edgar  Ralph 
Rankin,  the  alumni-encyclopedist,  put  up  $527  dollars 
to  pay  for  the  expenses  of  stationery,  postage,  teh  - 
grams,  and  stenographic  work  of  the  central  chair- 
man. Radiating  centers  of  information,  agitation,  and 
organization  were  in  circuit  all  over  the  State.  A 
program  of  six  battle  points  was  adopted  by  the  fight- 
ing  groups  in  the  State.  The  local  fighting  groups 
joined  forces  witli  the  local  Women's  Club,  the  Par- 
ent-Teacher Association,  the  Junior  Order  of  Ameri- 
can Mechanics,  the  Rotary  Club,  the  Kiwanis  Club, 
the  <  lhamber  of  Commerce,  the  American  Legion,  high 
school  classes,  and  all  the  public,  civic  and  progressive 
groups  of  each  locality  in  backing  up  the  educational 
and  benevolent  building  program. 

Skirmishers  On  the  Line 

Tn  Lenoir  County  for  example  Eli  Perry  and  com- 

initti rganized  a  county-wide  unit  of  thirty  pivot 

men.  Lindsay  Warren  raised  the  standard  near  the 
Pamlico  Sound.  Frank  Winslow  and  group  organized 
a  whole  town.  Foy  Roberson  was  the  organizing 
center  of  Durham  ami  J.  Cheshire  Webb,  of  Orange. 
One  Charlotte  fighting  unit  of  which  C.  W.  Tillett, 
Jr.,  was  chairman,  composed  of  I-1.  0.  Clarkson,  Mrs. 
C.  C.  Hook,  and  Mrs.  Joseph  Garibaldi,  reached  882 
councils  and  clubs  represent  in"'  a  membership  of  about 
60,000  citizens  in  the  towns  and  countrysides  of  North 
Carolina.  The  Gwynn-Dalton-Smith-Hodges  group 
held  meetings  in  four  towns  of  one  county  and  were 
backed  by  every  civic  organization  in  tic  county.

their  hundred  centers  of  personal  influence  and  con- 
solidated group  activity  linked  the  aroused  opinion  of 
the  people  to  the  cause  of  congested  youth  in  the  col- 
leges. Of  the  more  than  a  hundred  not  listed  above  a 
young  man  in  accepting  the  responsibility  for  a  moun- 
tain county  did  not  organize  a  proposed  fighting 
group,  and  his  town  was  without  a  Rotary  Club,  a 
Kiwanis  Club,  and  a  Parent-Teacher  Association,  etc. 
The  local  press  was  doubtful  about  big  bond  issues  for 
the  state  institutions.  Undaunted  he  takes  to  the 
streets  and  makes  a  campaign  of  personal  evangelism 
and  wins  the  solid  citizens  to  his  cause.  The  faith  of 
Raymond  Chatham — there  comes  out  his  name  after 
all — and  of  scores  of  others  unnamed  with  their 
characteristic  activity  and  incidents  is  typical  of  the 
University  spirit. 

Three  thousand  five  hundred  alumni  more  or  less 
on  the  firing  line  now  in  large  numbers  definitely  took 
up  the  proposed  six  battle  points  for  letter  writing 
by  citizens,  resolutions  by  civic  organizations,  peti- 
tions, telegrams,  newspaper  letters,  and  other  demon- 
strations of  public  opinion  for  youth  and  North

A  People  in  Arms 

In  two  weeks  time  the  three  score  and  more  chapters 
of  the  Junior  Order  of  American  Mechanics  and  over 
ten  thousand  members  catching  the  enthusiasm  of 
their  fellow  member,  Francis  0.  Clarkson,  and  State 
Councillor,  Cobb,  had  adopted  vigorous  resolutions  for 
the  twenty  million  dollar  program.  The  chairman 
of  the  educational  committee  of  Scottish  Rite  Masons, 
Thomas  J.  Harkins,  was  in  active  touch  with  5,300 
thirty-second  degree  Masons  and  had  acquainted  them 
with  their  concern  in  the  movement.  The  president 
of  the  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  Mrs.  Charles  C. 
Hook,  and  Miss  Mary  Petty,  chairman  of  the  educa- 
tional eommittc f  the  Federated  Clubs,  presented  the 

cause  to  172  clubs  in  North  Carolina.  The  president 
of  the  State  Association  of  Parent-Teacher  Associa- 
tions, Mrs.  Joseph  Garibaldi,  in  co-operation  with 
Mrs.  A.  B.  Justice  and  Mrs.  David  S.  Yates  of  the 
Charlotte  Asociation,  called  all  associations  into  action 
back  of  the  six-year  building  program.  Ministers  of 
the  gospel.  Baptist.  Methodist,  Moravian,  Presby- 
terian, Episcopal,  Christian  and  Lutheran  and  leaders 
of  the  Friends,  declared  for  the  large  building  plan. 
Public  school  superintendents,  county  and  city,  from 
Polk  to  Craven  recognized  the  vital  relation  between 
public  school  progress,  and  the  building  plans  of  the 
colleges.  All  the  while  Lenoir  Chambers  from  Chapel 
Hill  and  Sam  Dickson  from  Greensboro  kept  sending 
out  vital  and  lively  news-stories  of  college  congestion 
and  needs  to  all  the  newspapers  in  the  State.  Into 
the  minds  of  the  people  already  vivid  with  the  facts 


and  figures  of  Branson,  L.  R.  Wilson,  Dickson,  and 
Chambers,  the  personal  report  of  Mr.  Paul  Whitloek 
on  University  congestion  and  outworn  equipment  came 
with  re-enforced  power.  The  fighting  groups  pressed 
the  fight  to  the  second  line.  Letters  from  citizens  by 
the  hundreds,  resolutions  from  organizations  by  the 
scores,  and  petitions  from  upward  of  a  hundred  high 
school  classes  poured  into  Raleigh  in  continuous 
streams  that  more  buildings  be  built  for  the  insane 
now  in  the  jails  and  for  the  boys  and  girls  now  con- 
gested in  or  kept  out  of  the  colleges  of  North  Carolina. 
To  this  end  North  Carolina  was  speaking  from  cross 
roads  and  busy  streets. 

The  Mass  Movement  and  the  Public  Hearing 

Then  the  climax.  A.  M.  Scales,  Director,  in  the 
name  of  the  Citizens  Association  for  the  Promotion  of 
Education,  sent  out  a  call  to  the  citizens  of  the  State 
to  join  him  in  a  public  hearing  before  a  joint  session 
of  the  finance  and  appropriations  committees  in  Ra- 
leigh, Wednesday  evening,  February  23.  His  call 
was  followed  by  a  call  from  Charles  Weill  and  Mar- 
maduke  Robins  to  Chambers  of  Commerce,  Kiwanis 
and  Rotary  Clubs.  A  call  was  issued  by  the  central 
chairman  to  3,500  University  alumni  and  to  the 
organizers  of  the  fighting  groups  in  the  counties  of 
the  State.  Miss  Laura  Coit,  president,  and  Miss 
Ethel  C.  Bollinger,  secretary  of  North  Carolina  Col- 
lege Alumnae  Association,  both  enthusiastic  and  in- 
defatigable in  activity  and  organization,  who  had 
been  passing  '-'the  six  battle  points"  to  thousands 
of  alumnae  in  the  State  now  sounded  the  assembly 
call  to  these  leading  women.  Mrs.  Hook  and  Miss 
Petty  gave  notice  to  the  women's  clubs,  Thomas 
J.  Harkins  to  the  Scottish  Rite  Masons,  Francis 
O.  Clarkson  to  700  Councils  of  the  Junior  Order 
of  American  Mechanics,  and  Mrs.  Joseph  Gari- 
baldi to  the  Parent-Teachers  Associations  of  the  State. 
Five  hundred  citizens,  men  and  women,  answered  the 
rallying  calls  from  all  over  the  State.  At  Asheville, 
Charlotte,  Greensboro,  Durham,  they  mobilized  and 
from  eastern  points. they  came  to  join  the  chorus  of 
faith  and  progress.  P.  H.  Gwynn,  Sr.,  from  near 
the  Virginia  line  brought  most  of  his  family  to  the 
demonstration.  Another  man  wired  that  though  he 
was  sick  in  bed  he  would  come  if  the  word  came 
back  for  him  to  come.  Mrs.  Hook  and  R.  R.  Williams 
eloquently  voiced  the  petitions  of  the  crusaders  and 
Scales  revealed  himself  in  his  cpjiet,  effective  way 
as  a  master  of  public  assembly  and  petition  and  his 
chosen  and  impromptu  speakers  represented  not  only 
the  extent  of  North  Carolina  but  also  the  vigor  and 
variety  of  North  Carolina  life — wealth,  civic  clubs, 
youth  and  age,  labor  and  professions,  public  schools 
and  denominational  colleges,  fraternal  organizations, 
■parents  and  teachers  and  militant  womanhood.  They 
spoke  not  only  in  a  cause  but  also  from  personal 
experiences  in  the  field  in  storming  the  strong-points 
of  indifference  and  experience.  President  Rondthaler 
said  his  happy  words  in  a  brief,  final  way.  President 
Hobgood  spoke  as  president  of  a  denominational 
college,  T.  J.  Harkins  for  the  educational  committee 
of  the  Scottish  Rite  Masons,  Dr.  Pegram  for  the  Junior 
Order  of  American  Mechanics,  Mrs.  Wiley  Swift  for 
the  State  Parent-Teachers  Association,  C.  B.  Riddle, 
of  the  Burlington  Kiwanis.  as  an  editor  of  a  church 
paper,  J.  J.  Wells  for  the  Kiwanis  Club,  Stahle  Linn 
for  self-help  students,  J.  E.  Latham  for  the  non- 
college  men,  and  Newcomb  for  the  public  school 
children.     They  spoke  from  a  background  of  power.

to  the  sea." 

The  Decisive  Fight 

The  five  hundred  citizens  said  the  say  of  their 
dynamic  presence  and  many  stole  away  in  the  special 
sleepers  during  the  night.  Sunday  morning  they  read 
that  the  appropriations  committee  had  added  three 
quarters  of  a  million  to  the  budget  commission's 
recommendations  which  meant  even  with  this  increase 
that  several  of  the  institutions  would  In'  unable  to 
meet  even  the  present  congestion.  Monday  morning 
telegrams  poured  into  Raleigh  by  the  hundreds.  Wo- 
men's clubs,  parent-teacher  associations.  American 
Mechanics,  .Masons,  chambers  of  commerce,  Kiwanians, 
Rotarians,  alumni,  and  fighting  groups  of  leading 
citizens,  became  aroused  over  night.  The  Citizens' 
Bill  for  the  six-year  program  magnificently  cham- 
pioned by  Walter  Murphy,  progressive  warrior  of  the 
legislature,  seconded  in  the  house  by  Clem  Wright, 
and  brilliantly  propounded  in  the  senate  by.Lunsford 
Long,  and  seconded  by  -1.  Elmer  Long,  missed  passing 
in  the  upper  house  by  only  one  vote.  Several  nega- 
tive votes  were  wavering.  At  this  juncture  Governor 
Morrison  called  in  Walter  Murphy,  Lunsford  Long, 
W.  N.  Everett,  and  R.  S.  McCoin  and  asked  them  to 
come  to  a  patriotic  understanding  for  the  progress 
of  the  State.  In  this  conference  at  the  instance  of 
Representative  Murphy  a  million  dollars  was  further 
added  to  the  building  program  with  the  under- 
standing as  proposed  by  the  Governor  that  if  the 
institutions  wisely  builded  and  administered,  the 
whole  program  would  lie  carried  through.  The  Senate 
and  House  with  only  one  dissenting  vote  adopted 
at  once  the  Morrison-Murphy-Long-McOoin-Everett- 
Doughton-Varser  compromise  bill  for  upwards  of 
seven  million  dollars  for  the  permanent  upbuilding 
of  State  institutions  plus  adequate  maintenance  funds. 
The  University  is  to  receive  $1,490,000  for  buildings 
and  equipment  and  $925,000  for  total  maintenance 
during  the  next  two  years.  Thus  was  won  a  perma- 
nent victory  for  youth,  the  unfortunates,  and  North 
( larolina. 

The  Spirit  of  the  Fighters 

To  call  the  roll  of  the  men  and  women  who  back 
home  won  this  epochal  fight  would  be  a  roll  call  of 
not  only  hundreds  but  thousands  of  citizens  of  the 
State.  It  would  he  a  tale  of  the  faith,  idealism,  en- 
thusiasm, and  energy  of  men  and  women  all  over 
North  Carolina  who  took  no  counsel  of  reaction,  hard 
times,  and  the  faint  of  heart  but  rather  who  set  the 
sights  of  their  figures  high  and  brooked  no  suggestion 
of  lowered  figures  or  short-sighted  expediency.  Hav- 
ing enlisted  for  a  greal  cause  they  asked  nothing 
for  themselves  hut  the  chance  to  fight,  and  they  fought 
on  and  gathered  into  their  assaulting  waves  the  cau- 
tious, the  indifferent,  and  the  hostile  until  a  whole 
people  acclaimed  the  final  victory.  A  hundred  cen- 
ters shared  in  the  fun  of  the  fight.  More  than  one 
hundred  geographically  strategic  men  linked  the  Slate. 
fighting  group  to  fighting  group,  in  the  mood  of 
heroism   and   in   the   cause  of  youth   and   benevolence. 

'flic  crusade  of  these  fighters  is  an  expression  of 
the  unselfish  valor  of  the  human  spirit.  To  tell  their 
story  would  lie  to  tell  the  story  of  hundreds  of  men 
and   women  who  stirred  up  cities,  (owns,  and  villages 


and  organized  counties,  who  effaced  themselves  in  the 
movement  and  consecrated  their  friendship,  their  or- 
ganizations, and  all  their  contacts  to  the  cause. 

The  Cause,  Its  Background  of  Soundness 

'I'he  cause  was  full  worthy  of  their  crusading  spirit 
and  rang  true  with  the  tones  and  traditions  of  a  cen- 
tury. All  who  had  done  well  their  day's  work  in 
t  he  ancient  and  young  instil  ut  ions  of  the  State  entered 
the  tight  in  spiritual  power.  The  evangelism  of  Alder- 
man, Aycock,  Mclver,  Moses.  Noble,  Joyner,  Brooks, 
and  others  issued  in  the  congestion  of  the  colleges. 
The  University  administrative  economy  of  Battle, 
Winston,  Alderman.  Venable,  and  her  latest  lamented 
leader — in  whose  name  and  spirit  hundreds  rallied  to 
the  standard  of  her  present  chief — and  the  figures 
proved,  studied,  revised,  and  ably  mastered  by  Busi- 
ness Manager  Woollen  and  President  Chase,  all  com- 
liineil  in  their  essential  values  of  administrative  integ- 
rity and  business  economy  to  give  soundness  to  the 
I'niversity's  program.  Presidents  Foust,  Wright  and 
Kiddick  in  their  different  ways  of  administrative 
ability  solidified  the  case  of  the  colleges. 

The  Service  of  the  Budget  Commission 

It  is  altogether  fitting  to  recognize  here  the  value 
and  service  of  the  State  Budget  Commission  which  in 
its  difficult  and  thankless  task  was  insistent  upon 
sound  bookkeeping,  economy,  and  solid  figures.  The 
( lommisson  made  mistakes  no  doubt  but  had  the  vision 
to  appreciate  the  fact  that  adequate  maintenance 
funds  are  the  heart  of  an  institution's  life.  On  tin' 
basis  of  their  recognition  vital  increases  were  later 
made  in  the  maintenance  funds  of  most  of  the  insti- 
tutions. Governor  Bickett,  and  Messrs.  Doughton, 
Everett,  Gray,  Holderness,  McCoin  and  Varser  went 
as  far  as  they  thought  the  people  would  stand  for 
and  no  doubt  rejoice  now  in  the  fact  that  a  ground- 
swell  of  the  people  transformed  their  maximum 
figures  into  the  minimum  figures  of  a  campaign 
whose  militant  guns  were  trained  upon  twenty  million 
dollars  for  a  six-year  building  program.  Messrs. 
Gray,  Holderness  and  Everett,  together  with  Walter 
Murphy,  Clem  Wright  and  Lindsay  Warren,  had 
four  years  ago  in  response  to  the  vision  of  President 
E.  K.  Graham,  planned  and  put  through  a  three 
million  dollar  bond  issue  for  State  institutions. 

Influence  of  Master  Teachers 

Perhaps  as  fundamental  in  the  movement  as  the 
spirit  and  influence  of  Alma  Mater's  sons  who  gathered 
of  her  life  and  went  their  way  of  achievement  and 
service  in  the  State  has  been  the  tempered  character, 
patient  research,  thinking,  and  spirit  of  her  master 
teachers  who  sent  them  forth  and  have  inspired  col- 
lege generations  of  men  passing  this  way  "plastic  to 
their  molding. 

The  Presidents 

To  President  Chase,  whose  wisdom  and  devotion, 
whose  constant  and  sweet  reasonableness  of  character 
and  purpose  were  felt  on  all  sides,  the  faculty,  stu- 
dents, alumni  and  citizens  stand  committed  to  hold 
up  his  hands  in  the  great  responsibility  intrusted  to 
his  keeping  and  administration.  President  Foust, 
with  an  efficiently  administered  college  and  a  loyal 
body  of  alumnae  to  give  him  inspiration  ami  strength  : 
President  Riddick,  the  splendid  service  of  whose  col- 
lege and  its  alumni  reach  the  very  foundations  of  the 
State's  life;  and  President  Wright,  able  executive  of 
an   institution   telling   its   tine  story   in   the   lite  of  the

public  scl Is  of  Eas1  Carolina,  all  will  find  vindica- 
tion for  their  figures  and  their  fight  in  the  progress  of 
the  State.  The  colleges  through  the  alumni  put  it  up 
to  the  people.  The  people  through  the  legislature 
have  now  put  it  up  to  the  colleges. 

The  Unlisted  Soldiers 

In  closing  the  simple  narrative,  Mr.  Editor,  which 
you  have  asked  to  be  written  of  the  work  and  the 
workers,  it  is  hoped  that  all  those  who  worked  and 
prayed  and  fought  for  a  greater  commonwealth  will 
feel  especially  now  thai  the  University  reaches  out 
and  holds  them  tight  to  her  great  heart.  What  was 
the  fun  of  service  to  them  is  the  inspiration  of  life 
to  her.  They  are  in  large  numbers  unnamed  in  this 
story.  To  call  their  names — the  forty-three  who  came 
to  the  emergency  conference,  the  hundred  and  eighty- 
five  who  organized  the  State,  and  the  hundreds  of 
others  who  pressed  the  fights — would  no1  add  to  the 
durable  satisfaction  that  will  always  he  theirs.  For 
the  long  line  of  unnamed  soldiers  who  entered  into 
the  victory,  the  University  and  the  State  can  hut 
"thank  God  and  take  courage"  as  they  set  their 
hands  to  the  work  of  a  new  day.

HARVARD-TECH  CLUB  HOLDS  BANQUET 

Robert  II.  W.  Welch,  Jr.,  secretary  of  the  Harvard- 
Tech  Alumni  Asociation,  sends  The  Review  the  fol- 
lowing account  of  a  rousing  banquet  held  recently  by 
this  association  in  Boston: 

The  Harvard-Technology  North  Carolina  Club  held 
its  first  dinner  of  the  year  at  the  Parker  House, 
Boston,  Friday  night,  February  25.  Hoke  Black, 
'16,  president  of  the  club,  acted  as  toastmaster.  The 
other  alumni  and  former  teachers  present  were:  Pro- 
fessor X.  w.  Walker  id'  the  department  of  education; 
Professor  D.  II.  Baeot,  formerly  of  the  deparl  ien1 
of  history;  R.  P.  Crouse,  Robert  Well!;.  Jr.,  E.  L. 
Mackie,  W.   T.    Polk,   Samuel   Ervin,   Albert    Coates, 


Marion    Ross,    B.   II.   Thomas,   T.    C.   Wolfe,   Samuel 
Fisher,  and  Holmes  Herty. 

After  a  dinner  which,  thanks  to  the  care  of  the 
president,  was  very  enjoyable,  officers  for  next  year 
were  elected.  R.  F.  Crouse,  '16,  was  chosen  president, 
and  W.  T.  Polk,  'IS.  secretary-treasurer.  Then  several 
members  of  the  club  responded  by  short  talks  to  in- 
vitations to  speak. 

Professor  Walker,  though  speaking  only  a  very  few 
minutes,  brought  out  vividly  the  fallacy  of  many 
North  Carolinians,  as  evidenced  by  the  attitude  of 
many  representatives  in  the  legislature,  in  assuming 
that  appropriations  for  the  University,  as  well  as 
donations  to  other  educational  institutions,  were 
primarily  for  tin1  vend  of  the  institutions  the. ns 'Ives. 
He  pointed  out  that  the  basic  principle  of  de  nocracy 
is  opportunity;  that  educational  opportunity  is  the 
greatesl  debl  of  a  state  to  its  people;  that  the  objed 
of  the  University  is  to  do  its  utmost  to  offer  this  op- 
portunity to  the  youth  of  the  State:  and  that  money 
appropriated  to  help  it  is  that  much  spent  primarily 
for  the  benefit  of  the  State,  and  only  secondarily  for 
the  institution  itself. 

Hoke  Black  forcefully  called  attention  to  the  small 
percentage  of  students  at  "The  Hill"  from  outside 
the  State.  Admitting  that  the  University's  main 
object  should  be  to  train  young  men  and  women  of 
North  Carolina,  he  urged  that  nevertheless  a  greater 
effort  should  be  made  to  attract  students  from  out- 
side the  State,  especially  from  the  South;  first,  be- 
cause Carolina  was  in  a  position  to  make  itself  a 
Southern  university,  and  secondly,  because  a  more 
i  os  nopolitan  student  body  would  have  a  broadening 
influence  and  would  materially  benefit  the  students 
from  North  "Carolina  itself. 

President  Black  further  commented  on  the  fact 
that  Carolina  did  not  sufficiently  advertise  itself  in 
other  states  through  making  known  its  leadership  in 
more  or  less  collateral  activities;  through  evidencing 
a  just  pride  in  its  success  in  debating;  through 
properly  claiming  the  honor  for  the  big  men  it  has 
produced;  and  in  various  other  ways.  He  alluded 
to  his  own  surprise  at  having  learned  some  time  ago 
that  Thomas  Hart  Benton,  senator  from  .Missouri 
during  the  Clay-Calhoun- Webster  period  of  our  his-, 
tory,  had  been  a  student  of  the  University  of  North 
( larolina. 

After  a  controversy  as  to  whether  Zebulon  Laird 
Vance  was  not  a  greater  man  than  Thomas  Hart  Ben- 
ton, in  which  dispute  Senator  Vance  was  ably  sup- 
ported by  Samuel  Ervin.  had  been  settled,  shelved, 
or  in  some  indecisive  way  disposed  of,  Albert  Coates 
entertained  the  club  while  the  smokers  were  finishing 
their  cigars.  The  hilarity  occasioned  having  made  it 
r\rj[-  that  any  attempt  to  be  serious  again  would  be 
futile;  and  it  being  impossible  to  sing;  "I'm  a  Tar 
Heel  Born"  on  account  of  the  proximity  of  a  police 
station,  the  club  adjourned  with  a  revived  recollec- 
tion in  the  mind  of  each  member  of  oleasant  days  at 
"The  Hill." 


Education  for  Citizenship  is  the  title  of  a  30-page 
monograph  prepared  by  Drs.  J.  G.  del;.  Hamilton 
and  E.  W.  Knight,  of  the  University,  and  recently 
published  by  (lie  U.  S.  War  Department.  The  pub- 
lication contains  the  conclusions  of  Drs.  Hamilton  and 
hi  based  on  close  observation  for  several  months, 
concerning  the  principles  and  practices  of  Army  ed- 
ucation  as  now   conducted   by   the    War   Department.

idass  of  '06  through  Walter  Love  plans  to  set  a  new 
high  record,  tore  and  aft.  for  fifteen  year  come-backs. 
The  class  of  '96,  celebrating  its  quarter-century  re- 
union, emphatically  denies  that  it  belongs  with  the 
"old  one-,,"  and  to  prove  that  with  '96  the  spirit  of 
youth  is  perpetual,  it  will  put  out  a  baseball  team  and 
broadcast  a  challenge!  Deo.  Stephens  heads  the  re- 
union committee  of  this  class. 

The  lawyers,  judges,  teachers,  preachers,  college 
presidents,  manufacturers,  hankers,  and  farmers,  who 
make  up  the  personnel  of  '81,  will  renew  their  youth 
and  their  life-time  affiliation  with  Alma  Mater  on 
Alumni  Day.  Among  the  members  of  the  reunion 
committee  of  this  elass  are:  Dr.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Judge 
W.  J.  Adams.  Judge  J.  D.  Murphy,  Dr.']!.  P.  Bell, 
J.Alton  Melver.  Col.  Leroy  Springs,  Dr.  H.  B.  Battle. 
A.  Nixon,  and  John  M.  Walker.  The  class  of  71 
eelebrates  its  half-century  reunion  with  Dr.  Hannis 
Taylor  chairman]  of  the  reunion  committee.  The 
famous  Confederate  class  of  '61  celebrates  its  sixtieth 
year  reunion  with  Major  ('has.  M.  Stedman  chairman 
of  the  reunion  committee.  Alumni  Day  will  take  on 
a  new  vigor  a1  commencement  of  1921. 

"Naughty  Ones" 

The  class  of  '01,  which  thrust  itself  on  an  unsus- 
pecting world  a  score  of  years  ago,  will  celebrate  on 
Alumni  Day,  June  14,  its  twentieth  year  reunii 

This  is  an  assembly  call  to  every  '01  man  and  he

period  for  the  celebration  of  the  thirtieth  year  re- 
union of  the  class  : 

A   reunion   of  the  class  of   1891    will    he   held   at    the 

commencement  of  1921 — the  day  of  the  reunion  being 
Tuesday,  June  1  I.  1921. 


Every  man  who  was  a  I  any  time  a  member  of  the 
class  of  1891,  from  its  birth  in  August,  LSS7.  imtil 
its  graduation  in  June,  1891,  is  expected  al  this  re- 
union. 

I  hope  that  the  attendance  will  be  large.  I  have 
heard  from  many  members  of  the  class  wiio  will  be 
present. 

From  1891  to  1921  is  a  big  span  in  the  history  of 
the  world.  Many  tremendous  events  have  happened 
and  enormous  changes  have  taken  place,  but  in  all 
this  time  there  has  been,  I  believe,  one  changeless  and 
everlasting  tiling — the  love  of  the  members  of  the 
class  of  1891  for  each  other  and  for  their  Alma  Mater. 
Be  sure  to  come  ! 

Will  Bring  on  the  Jazz 

Dear    Classmate: 

The  class  of  1920  has  its  first  reunion  in  June,  com- 
mencement of  1!I21  !  Have  you  ever  thought  about 
going  back  to  the  "Hill"  along  with  your  old  friends.' 
Well  your  chance  is  coming,  and  it  will  be  here  soon. 

Begin  by  making  your  plans  now;  make  that  boss 
turn  you  loose  from  June  12th  through  the  loth.  By 
all  means  come  for  the  big  class  hanipiel  which  will  be 
uncorked  Monday  night,  June  13th. 

"Skinner"  Kitlrell  will  give  you  further  details 
in  a  few  days,  while  Bill  Andrews  is  working  his  head 
off  on  the  "Hill"  to  put    pep  into  our  gathering. 

We  arc  going  to  pull  some  stunts  too;  if  you  have 
any  suggestions,  shoot  them  in  to  "Skinner"  at  Hen- 
derson, N.  C. — no  address  needed.  It  's  up  to  us  (1920) 
this  year  to  put  the  "jazz  in  the  jamboree,"  at  the 
alumni  meeting.  Don't  forget  to  mark  June  13 
on  your  calendar. 

Here's  hoping  to  see  you  under  the  well  this  Spring.

To   Members   of   '16 

Wm.  B.  Umstead,  of  Kinston,  chairman  of  the  re- 
union committee  of  his  class,  sends  the  following  let- 
ter to  Carolina  men  of  1916: 

Our  Alma  Mater  in  the  five  years  during  which  we 
have  been  away  has  grown  ami  expanded  as  few 
educational  institutions  have  ever  done.  This  growth 
and  expansion  has  been  healthy  and  wholesome.  With 
this  growth  and  expansion  the  Carolina  spirit  of  ser- 
vice to  the  State  has  been  commensurate.  The  State 
of  necessity  has  made  huge  demands  upon  the  Univer- 
sity. The  University  has  met  the  challenge,  even  unto 
the  last  ounce  of  her  strength,  and  the  last  inch  of  her 
capacity.  Jusl  as  tin.  State  needs  and  calls  the  Uni- 
versity, just  so  does  the  dear  old  University  need  and 
call  to  each  and  every  one  of  her  loyal  sons.  We  can- 
cel   serve   whole-heartedly   unless   we   go   back  there 

asionally  and   renew  thai   spark  of  loyalty  which 

binds  every  Carolina  man  to  the  University  and  the 
I  niver  ity  to  the  State. 

This  year  al   com  em   our  class  of  1916  has 

its  live  year  reunion.  Lei  us  go  back  at  that  time. 
Lei  "s  go  hack  and  renew  our  loyally;  let  us  go  back 
and  drink  at  the  fountain  of  lis  spirit;  let  us  go  back 
and  make  tighter  those  bonds  of  friendship  which  are 
near  and  dear  to  us;  let  us  go  hack  and  make  ours 
the  greatesl  of  all  reunions,  and  thereby  serve  the 
State,  the  University  and  ourselves.

THE      ALUMNI      REVIEW 


Sayings  of  Sixteen 

Win.  B.  Umstead,  Kinston :  I  am  sending  a  cir- 
cular letter  to  print  today  and  it  should  be  out  in 
ten  days. 

R.  B.  House,  Raleigh:  How  about  "We  Deliver" 
as  the  central  idea  ?  100  per  cent  attendance,  all  class 
pledges  fulfilled  to  date,  etc. 

A.  Thurman  Castelloe,  Cambridge,  Mass. :  I  have 
not  been  on  the  Hill  since  May  '16, — too  bad.  I 
enclose  check. 

B.  F.  Auld,  Denver  Col.:  Here's  the  money  order. 
L.   C.   Hall,  Sylva :   I  have  not  received  notice  of 

notes  due.     If  you  will  please  notify  me  at  once,  will 
be  glad  to  send  check. 

J.  II.  Allred,  Mt.  Airy:  I  think  I  can  take  the  prize 
as  a  bald-headed  man.  I  intend  to  come  to  the  re- 
union. Expect  to  have  a  grand  and  glorious  time. 
Reserve  a  place  for  me  at  the  banquet. 

J.  Roy  Moore,  Lenoir:  I  would  like  to  know  just 
how  much  I  owe  on  our  class  assessment  which  was 
to  be  paid  at  the  end  of  five  years.  I  do  hope  we  can 
all  be  there  next  commencement  and  have  the  very 
best  reunion  that  any  class  has  ever  had,  for  1916 
can  do  it. 

Gardner  Hudson,  Winston-Salem :  Since  we  last  saw- 
each  other  numerous  changes  have  taken  place  in  me. 
I  am  rapidly  developing  a  shining  pate,  already  have 
a  very  high  forehead  and  partake  of  even  the  most 
frivolous  of  social  pleasures,  such  as  dancing.  Frank 
Hackler  is  rather  stretching  his  vest  buttons,  but  will 
do  nothing  to  check  the  expansion.  Our  offices  are 
on  the  same  floor  of  this  building. 

A.  V.  Anderson,  Wilson:  I  hope  I  can  be  present 
for  the  roll  call  when  our  class  meets  again  on  the 
Hill  this  Spring.  If  possible  I  shall  be  there — and 
ready  for  "anything  and  something  else."  Sam 
Pike  is  living  here  noWj.  and  is  located  just  across 
the  street  from  me.  He  has  a  fine  boy.  Victor  Bailey 
is  teaching  school  at  Black  Creek. 

R.  M.  Homewood,  Durham :  Enclosed  find  check  for 
$12.  I  will  be  on  the  Hill  and  will  be  sure  that  1911 
does  not  put  anything  over  on  us.  As  far  as  getting 
the  tent  is  concerned  I  am  sure  we  can  get  that,  and 
as  for  the  rest,  Bob  Page,  Meb  Long  and  I  are  still  on 
llie  map. 

Carlyle  Morris,  Philadelphia,  Pa. :  Best  wishes  to 
the  fairest  and  squarest  place  I  guess  we  could  find, 
namely  the  University  of  North  Carolina.  We  have  a 
good  many  of  the  old  boys  up  here ;  Thorp,  Darden, 
and  myself  from  '16.  We  are  with  you  in  heart  and 
for  any  service  we  may  be  able  to  render,  you  only 
have  to  command  us.  I  am  sending  you  check  to 
cover  notes.    Mail  me  any  news  of  the  class. 

Moses  Shapiro,  Winston-Salem:  So  there  are  big 
doings  planned  for  the  reunion.  I  shall  certainly  be 
there.  I  am  enclosing  cheek.  Gardner  Hudson  will 
have  to  answer  for  himself.  These  corporation  lawyers 
are  such  that  it  is  hard  to  find  out  just  what  they  are 
doing.  Frank  Hackler  is  here  and  like  yours  truly 
bucking  the  winds  of  chance,  while  Bob  Vaughn  holds 
down  a  chair  in  the  Court  House  as  auditor.  Here's 
hoping  to  see  you  in  June. 


Chapel  Hill  high  school  won  the  basketball  cham- 
pionship of  North  Carolina  by  defeating  Charlotte, 
western  champions,  in  the  final  game  of  a  thrilling 
scries  played  in  Bynum  Gymnasium.  Forty-four 
high  schools  competed  in  the  contest  this  .year  and  five 
of  the  final  games  were  played  at  the  University. 


SPRING  ATHLETIC  PROGRAMS 

The  Review  went  to  press  on  the  eve  of  the  opening 
of  both  the  baseball  and  track  season.  The  varsity 
baseball  squad  under  the  direction  of  Coach  W.  McK. 
Fetzer,  the  freshman  squad  under  Coach  Fred  Pat- 
terson, the  track  squad  under  Coach  Kent  Brown, 
all  working  regularly  since  late  in  February,  were 
ready  for  their  first  contests. 

At  that  time  it  appeared  probable  that  the  baseball 
team  would  include  the  following  men :  catchers,  Roy 
Morris  and  McGee ;  pitchers,  Captain  Lawrence  Wil- 
son and  Llewelj-n,  Bryson,  and  Roseman,  a  find  of 
Fetzer 's ;  infielders,  Spruill  or  Shirley  at  first,  McLean 
at  second,  McDonald  at  short,  and  Fred  Morris  or 
Lowe  at  third ;  outfielders,  Sweetman,  with  the  other 
two  positions  probably  to  be  covered  by  Shirley  or 
Lowe,  if  those  two  players  were  not  used  in  the  in- 
field or  by  Wilson  and  Llewelyn,  when  they  were  not 
in  the  box,  and  possibly  Tenney. 

Of  these  men  Wilson,  Llewelyn,  Lowe,  McLean,  and 
Sweetman  are  from  last  year's  varsity.  Roy  and  Fred 
Morris,  Shirley,  McDonald,  McGee  and  Bryson  are 
from  last  year's  freshman  team.  Spruill  played  on  the 
1917  freshman  team,  and  Tenney  has  been  on  the 
squad  for  several  years. 

Early  practice  indicated  a  strong  team.  In  the 
opening  game  with  Davidson  played  at  Winston- 
Salem  on  Easter  Monday,  Carolina  won  by  the  score 
of  7  to  3.  The  schedule  arranged  by  Manager  William 
H.  Rufnn  is  as  follows: 

March  23 — New  York  University  at  Chapel  Hill. 

March  28 — Davidson  at  Winston-Salem. 

March  31 — State  College  at  Chapel  Hill. 

April  2 — Virginia  at  Charlottesville. 

April  4 — Washington  and  Lee  at  Lexington. 

April  7 — Maryland  at  Chapel  Hill.

April  21— Guilford  at  Chapel  Hill. 

April  23 — Virginia  at  Greensboro. 

April  2.5 — Virginia  at  Chapel  Hill. 

April  30— State  College  at  Raleigh. 

May  2 — Georgetown  at  Washington. 

May  3 — Maryland  at  College  Park,  Md. 

May  4 — Fordham  at  New  York. 

May  .j — New  York  University  at  New  York. 

May  6 — College  of  City  of  New  York  at  New  York. 

May  7 — Swarthmore  at  Swarthmore. 

May  9 — V.  M.  I.  at  Lexington. 

May  12— Wake  Forest  at  Chape]  Hill. 

May  14 — Trinity  at  Durham.

Manager  A.  L.  Purrington  has  announced  the  fol- 
lowing track  schedule: 

April  11 — Dual  meet  with  Trinity  at  Durham. 
April  16 — Dual  meet  with  South  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill.

CAROLINA  JOINS  SOUTHERN  CONFERENCE 


By  unanimous  vote  of  the  faculty,  March  18,  the 
University  joined  the  Southern  Intercollegiate  Con- 
ference and  will  henceforth  he  a  member  of  this  new 
athletic  association  of  most  of  the  larger  institutions 
of  the  South,  which,  under  the  strictest  regulations  of 
all  the  American  conferences  will  seek  to  lift  the 
whole  tone  of  Southern  athletics. 

Previous  to  the  faculty  action,  which  was  the  tinal 
step,  the  question  of  the  University's  joining  the  con- 
ference had  been  endorsed  by  the  faculty  committee 
on  athletics,  by  The  Tar  Her!  editorially,  and  by  many 
of  the  leading  athletes  among  the  students. 

Previous  even  to  that  two  members  of  the  faculty 
committee  on  athletics.  Dr.  C.  S.  Mangum  and  Prof. 
A.  H.  Patterson,  the  latter  in  a  meeting  at  Gaines- 
ville, Florida,  last  December,  and  both  at  a  second 
meeting  in  Atlanta  in  February,  had  assisted  ma- 
terially in  organizing  the  new  conference. 

At  the  Atlanta  meeting  delegates  were  present 
from  the  University  of  Alabama,  Alabama  Polytech- 
nic Institute  (Auburn"),  Clemson,  Georgia  Tech,  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia,  University  of  Kentucky,  Univer- 
sity of  Tennessee,  University  of  Maryland,  Mississippi 
A."  and  M.,  University  of  North  Carolina,  North  Caro- 
lina State,  Tulane,  University  of  Virginia.  V  P.  I., 
and  Washington  and  Lee.  Representatives  from 
Center  College  and  Johns  Hopkins  University  were 
present  as  visitors. 

About  half  the  above  delegates  had  power  of  final 
action  and  definitely  joined  the  conference  immedi- 
ately upon  organization.  The  remaining  half,  like  the 
University's  delegates,  had  to  submit  the  proposition 
to  their  faculties.  Indications  are  clear,  however,  that 
most  of  the  above  institutions  will  be  members,  and 
possibly  several  other  institutions,  although  the  mem- 
bership has  been  limited  for  the  present  to  sixteen. 

Larger  Institutions  Banded  Together 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  probable  membership  in- 
cludes most  of  the  larger  institutions  all  the  way  from 
Maryland  to  New  Orleans.  Many  of  these  institutions 
had  previously  belonged  to  the  Southern  Intercol- 
legiate Athletic  Association,  the  well  known  S.I.A.A., 
and  for  long  had  been  chafinp:  under  the  control  exer- 
cised in  that  body  by  the  majority  prroup  of  smaller 
southern  institutions  which  were  not  ready  for  the 
progressive  platform  upon  which  the  new  conference 
rests.  Other  institutions,  like  Virginia  and  North 
Carolina,  had  belonged  to  a  half-dead  Athletic  Con- 
fers   of  Southern  State  Universities.     Others  had 

belonged  to  no  group. 

The  new  organization,  which  gives  every  indication 
of  being  the  leading  Southern  group,  purposes  "to 
band  together  the  larger  institutions  of  the  South 
under  uniform  regulations  which  will  eliminate  the 
most  glaring  and  troublesome  evils  of  college  ath- 
letics." It  has  set  forth  the  most  advanced  princi- 
ples that  have  ever  been  followed  in  the  South.  Many 
of  these  principles  were  taken  over  from  the  "Western 
Conference  (which  includes  Minnesota.  Wisconsin, 
Illinois.  Ohio,  Chicago,  Indiana.  Michigan,  North- 
western, and  others).  <renerally  regarded  as  the  most 
successful  athletic  conference  in  the  United  States. 


Planks  of  the  New  Platform 

The  basic  regulations  of  the  new  conference  are  as 
follows : 

(1)  The  One  Year  Rule — This  rule  provides  that 
no  student  shall  compete  in  intercollegiate  athletics 
until  he  has  been  in  residence  one  year  and  has  com- 
pleted the  scholarship  requirements  of  the  institution 
in  which  he  is  a  student.  Freshmen  and  all  of  the 
first  year  men  are  thus  prevented  from  membership 
on   varsity  teams. 

(2)  The  Migratory  Rule — This  rule  provides  that  a 
student  who  has  been  at  one  institution  and  enters  a 
second  institution  cannot  compete  in  intercollegiate 
athletics  until  he  has  been  in  residence  a  year;  and 
provides  further  that  any  student  who  has  been  a 
member  of  a  varsity  team  at  one  institution  can  never 
be  a  member  of  a  varsity  team  at  another  institution. 
'  (3)  The  Time  Rule — This  rule  provides  that  par- 
ticipation in  intercollegiate  athletics  shall  be  limited 
to  three  years  (the  University  previously  allowed 
four)  over  a  five-year  period  counting  from  the  time 
of  first  matriculation.  Thus  all  of  an  athlete's  ac- 
tivities in  intercollegiate  contests  must  take  place 
within  five  years  after  he  first  matriculates. 

(4)  The  Summer  Baseball  Rule — This  rule  pro- 
vides that  "no  student  may  accept  remuneration  for 
participation  in  any  branch  of  sports  or  for  services 
in  connection  with  athletics  or  physical  education. 
And  "no  student  may  become  a  member  of  any  team 
for  occasional  contests  until  after  permission  has  been 
obtained  from  the  faculty  committee  on  athletics. 
Such  students  who  receive  expenses  for  such  oc- 
casional games  must  submit  certified  and  receipted 
vouchers  therefor." 

(5)  The  Local  Self -Government  Rule. — This  rule 
provides  that  the  faculty  athletic  committee  at  each 
institution  will  decide  all  cases  affecting  its  own  stu- 
dents. Thus  no  higher  board  of  appeal  has  authority 
over  each  faculty  committee  on  its  own  cases.  Such 
a  plan  as  this  the  University  has  had  with  Virginia 
and  with  State  College. 

Besides  these  basic  principles  there  are  the  usual 
amateur  rules  which  are  generally  similar,  though  per- 
haps differing  in  small  details,  at  all  the  institutions 
concerned.  Other  small  differences  will  still  obtain 
at  different  institutions,  as,  for  example,  in  the  scholar- 
ship rule,  which  each  institution  will  settle  for  itself. 
Incidentally,  the  University's  scholarship  rule  is  one 
of  the  highest  in  the  country. 

How  the  Rules  Affect  the  University 

The  main  changes  that  the  new  regulations  will 
mean  in  the  University's  athletics  are  as  follows: 
(1)  The  migratory  rule  will  prevent  any  student  who 
has  ever  participated  in  intercollegiate  athletics  at 
another  institution  from  becoming  a  member  of  a  team 
at  the  University;  hitherto  such  a  student  has  become 
eligible  after  two  quarters  in  residence.  If  a  student 
has'been  at  another  institution  but  has  not  played  on 
a  varsity  team  there,  he  may  still  become  eligible  at 
the  University  after  a  full  year.  But  if  he  has  played 
elsewhere,  he  can  never  become  eligible.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


(2)  The  decreasing  of  the  time  in  which  a  student 
may  play  from  four  to  three  years,  not  counting  his 
playing  on  freshman  teams;  and  the  insistence  that* 
lie  do  all  his  three  years  of  varsity  playing  within 
five  years  after  first  matriculation.  Hitherto  the 
University  has  had  no  restriction  on  this  matter. 

(3)  The  requiring  of  permission  from  the  faculty 
athletic  committee  before  a  student  can  play  summer 
baseball  and  the  requiring  of  vouchers  for  expense 
money. 

The  one  year  rule  for  freshmen  the  University  has 
already,  being,  with  Virginia,  the  first  institution  in 
the  South  to  adopt  it. 

Some  dissent  was  expressed   in   the  faculty  at  the 


severity  of  the  rule  preventing  a  student  who  has 
played  elsewhere  from  ever  playing  at  a  second  in- 
stitution, and  also  at  the  wording  of  several  other 
rules.  But  the  general  opinion  was  that  so  much  total 
benefit  would  result  from  becoming  a  member  of  the 
conference  that  it  was  better  to  waive  these  matters 
for  the  present.  No  such  serious,  wide-sweeping 
effort  has  ever  been  made  by  leading  Southern  insti- 
tutions for  the  betterment  of  athletics,  the  faculty 
thought,  and  the  University  properly  belongs  in  the 
group  which  is  seeking  to  elevate  the  general  tone. 

The  new  rules  go  into  effect  January  1,  1922,  are 
not  retroactive,  and  present  contracts  stand.  The 
next  meeting  of  the  conference  will  be  next  De- 
cember. 


ALUMNI  OF  THE  FOURTH  ESTATE 


By  LENOIR   CHAMBERS,  '14 


Twenty-eight  years  ago,  February  2:1,  18!).'i,  the 
first  issue  of  The  Tar  Heel  appeared  on  the  Univer- 
sity campus. 

Seventy-seven  years  ago,  March,  1844,  the  first  is- 
sue of  The  University  of  No.  tli  Carolina  Magazine 
appeared  on  the  campus. 

Both  publications,  intimate  and  vital  factors  in 
student  and  University  life,  have  paused  in  their  reg- 
ular race  this  winter  to  celebrate  their  birthdays,  to 
look  back  over  their  long  and  honored  history,  and 
to  pay  sincere  tribute  to  the  men  who  in  other  days, 
other  times,  have  wrought  to  interpret  through  them 
student  and  University  thought,  action,  life. 

The  Tar  Heel  in  its  special  issue  in  February  re- 
counted its  founding  by  Walter  Murphy,  Charles 
Baskerville,  and  others.  It  traced  its  history  through 
the  succeeding  years  of  storm  and  stress  when  campus 
affairs  assumed  to  the  editors  the  proportions  of  na- 
tional revolutions,  when  reporters  made  their  custom- 
ary errors,  when  printers  would  not  print,  when  sub- 
scribers  would  fuss.  It  followed  many  former  editors 
in  their  careers  to  other  newspapers  throughout  North 
Carolina  and  to  all  corners  of  the  United  States.  It 
gathered  together  all  the  strength  of  all  the  years  and 
swore  by  all  the  gods  that  it  would  strive  this  year 
to  be  worthy,  that  it  would  seek  to  improve,  that  it 
would  not  betray  the  trust. 

Something  familial-  in  the  ring  of  the  words,  per- 
haps, but  something',  none  the  less,  real  and  heart- 
felt. 

So  with  the  Magazine,  which  calls  itself  frankly 
this  year  The  New  Carolina  Magazine.  George  W. 
.McCoy,  '2:i.  one  of  the  editors,  throws  the  light  of 
the  new  Magazine's  new  interpretative  spirit  on  the 
high  spots  of  its  history  ;  and  the  whole  issue  is  largely 
made  up  of  contrasting  articles  representing  the 
thought  of  the  early  life  of  the  University  and  the 
restless,  turbulent  thought  of  1921.  On' one  page 
is  an  article  written  by  a  promising  senior  in  the  Uni- 
versity, "On  the  Admission  of  Foreigners  into  Of- 
fice in  the  United  States."  The  author  is  one  James 
Knox  Polk;  the  date  is  1818.  On  the  opposite  page 
is  a  symposium  of  student  and  faculty  opinion  on  the 
admission  of  women  into  all  the  courses  of  the  Uni- 
versity. The  author  is  the  recently  elected  editor-in- 
chief  for  next  year.  William  E.  Horner;  those  who 
express  their  opinions  are  1921  debaters  and  athletes 
and  teachers. 


The  students  of  1893  read  in  their  first  issue  of  The 
Tar  Heel  that  "The  growing  demands  of  the  Univer- 
sity have  shown  the  need  of  a  weekly  paper.  .  .  . 
This  new  venture  is  necessarily  entered  upon  by  the 
present  board  with  no  little  trepidation,  nevertheless 
with  a  determination  to  make  a  success  which  can  only 
lie  done  through  the  indulgence  and  assistance  of  our 
faculty  and  fellow  students.     .     .     ." 

Above  the  first  editorial  they  read  at  the  top  of  the 
page  that  Charles  Baskerville  was  editor-in-chief,  that 
Walter  Murphy  was  managing  editor,  that  A.  H.  Mc- 
Fadycn  was  business  manager,  and  that  A.  C.  Ellis, 
Perrin  Busbee,  W.  P.  Wooten,  and  J.  C.  Biggs  were 
editors. 

From  that  February  day  in  '93  to  this  April  the 
destinies  of  The  Tar  Heel  have  been  guided  during  its 
twenty-eight  years  by  such  editors-in-chief  as  E.  W. 
Myers,  James  A.  Gwvn,  W.  A.  Graham,  D.  B.  Smith, 
Ralph  II.  Graves,  S."  S.  Lamb,  E.  K.  Graham,  W.  J. 
Brogden,  Paul  C.  WhitloctP.  R.  D.  W.  Connor,  Mars- 
den  Bellamy,  H.  M.  London,  W.  F.  Bryan,  White- 
head Kluttz,  Brent  S.  Drane,  J.  C.  B.  Ehringhaus, 
N.  W.  Walker,  Charles  P.  Russell,  Frank  McLean, 
Victor  L.  Stephenson,  Q.  S.  Mills,  H.  B.  Gunter, 
Frank  P.  Graham,  Oscar  J.  Coffin,  0.  W.  Hyman, 
W.  H.  Jones,  Frank  Hough,  L.  N.  Morgan,  George  L. 
Carrington,  Lenoir  Chambers,  S.  W.  Whiting,  Walter 
P.  Fuller,  Thomas  C.  Linn,  Jr.,  W.  T.  Polk,  C.  G. 
Tennent.  W.  H.  Stephenson,  Forrest  Mills,  Thomas 
C.  Wolfe,  and  the  present  editor-in-chief,  Daniel  L. 
Grant. 

The  Founding  of  the  Magazine 

For  the  founding  of  the  Magazine  go  back  to  1844 
and  to  Edmund  DeBerry  Covington,  of  Richmond 
County,  and  to  his  associates,  Robert  H.  Cowan,  of 
Wilmington,  and  Samuel  F.  Phillips,  of  Chapel  Hill, 
from  the  Di  Society,  and  James  S.  Johnson,  of  Hali- 
fax County,  and  L.  C.  Edwards,  of  Person  County, 
from  the  Phi  Society.  Its  history  is  more  tempestuous 
than  The  Tar  Heel's.  Four  times  it  has  ceased  pub- 
lication altogether,  once  in  1844,  shortly  after  it 
started;  again  in  1861,  after  it  had  been  running  since 
1852;  again  in  1882,  after  it  had  been  running  from 
1878;  and  finally  for  a  brief  period  in  1895.  Many 
times  it  has  undergone  violent  changes  in  policy.  In 
general,  however,  its  policy  has  shifted  through  the 
years  from  a  conservative  historical  and  literary  jour-

Until  1897  the  Magazine  had  a  board  of  editors,  but 

no   editor-in-chief.      Collier  Cobb  acted   as  managing 

editor  for  several  years.     The  first  editor-in-chief  was 

S.  S.  Lamb  in  1897,  followed  by  W.  S.  Wilson,  J.  G.

Washburn,  and  the  present  editor,  Tyre  C.  Taylor. 

Both  Publications  Have  Had  a  Good  Year 

The  present  year  has  seen  marked  changes  in  both 
publications.  The  Magazine  has  made  a  radical 
change  in  size  and  policy.  It  is  now  12  x  8'j  inches 
in  size,  is  liberally  illustrated,  and  in  policy  deals  in 
brief  and  snappy  fashion  with  leading  topics  of 
though!  nil  the  campus,  in  the  State,  and  in  the  na- 
tion. It  has  shown  more  vigor,  better  organization, 
keener  conception  of  the  value  of  presentation  than 
any  of  its  recent  predecessors.  A  corresponding  vigor 
has  been  shown  by  The  Tar  Heel.  It  has  exhibited 
this  year  in  its  semi-weekly  issues  more  of  the  marks 
of  professional  newspaper  work  than  in  many  years, 
possibly  more  than  ever  before. 


Alumni  in  Newspaper  and  Publishing  Business 

It  is  not  surprising  that  the  men  who  have  worked 
on  The  Tar  Heel  and  The  Magazine  should  have  car- 
ried the  writing  urge  and  the  touch  of  printer's  ink 
with  them  when  they  left  the  University.  Secretary 
Rankin's  office  has  prepared  a  partial  list  of  alumni 
who  are  now,  or  have  been  recently,  engaged  in  news- 
paper or  magazine  work,  or  in  some  form  of  publish- 
ing. Most  of  these  men  were  connected  with  The  Tar 
Heel  or  The  Magazine  during  their  college  days. 

The  list  ranges  from  some  of  the  largest  and  best 
known  newspapers  and  magazines  in  the  country  to 
many  of  the  live  weeklies  of  North  Carolina,  inter- 
preting their  community  life  and  tying  together  the 
folks  in  the  rural  districts.  It  includes  such  men  as 
Ralph  H.  Graves,  '97,  present  Sunday  editor  of  the 
New  York  Times,  former  city  editor  of  the  Xew  York

formerly  of  the  Times  and  now  a  free  lance  journalist 
with  frequent  contributions  to  The  Saturday  Evening 
Post,  Thi  Atlantic  Monthly,  The  Metropolitan,  Asia, 
The  World's  Work,  The  New  Republic,  and  other  na- 
tional magazines.  In  Xew  York  City  alone  it  em- 
braces such  men  as  Charles  P.  Russell.  '1)4.  formerly 
city  editor  of  the  Xew  York  Call  (also  formerly  with 
the  Philadelphia  Public  Ledger)  ;  Victor  L.  Stephen- 
son, '06,  formerly  of  the  Charlotte  Observer,  later  with 
the  Xew  York  Eveniiuj  Post,  now  engaged  in  financial 
writing  in  Xew  York;  Q.  S.  Mills.  '07,  who  before  he 
died  in  action  in  the  war,  was  an  editorial  writer  on 
the  Evening  Sun;  and  Thomas  C.  Linn,  Jr.,  '16,  of 
the    Times. 

In  Washington  among  the  University  alumni  in

against  State  College  it  lost  31  to  32,  playing  the 
poorest  basketball  of  the  season,  and  in  the  final  decid- 
ing game  with  Trinity  it  won,  55  to  18. 

By  virtue  of  victories  over  Davidson,  Elon,  and 
Trinity  the  University  team  has  been  generally  called 
by  sporting  editors  the  best  in  the  State.  Many  per- 
sons at  Chapel  Hill  regard  it  as  the  best  team  that 
has  ever  played  at  the  University. 

Howard  Hanby,  of  Wilmington,  right  guard,  has 
been  elected  captain  for  next  year.  Shepard  and 
Erwin  will  not  return,  but  Cartwright  Carmichael, 
almost  unanimously  regarded  as  the  best  forward  in 
the  South  Atlantic  States  and  picked  on  virtually 
every  star  team,  and  McDonald,  the  other  forward, 
have  two  more  .years  of  play,  and  promising  material 
from  the  freshman  squad  will  be  available.

The  Soils  and  Agriculture  op  the  Southern 
States.  339  pp.  illus.  maps.  O.  N.  Y.  Mac- 
millan.    1921.    $3.50. 

Hugh  Hammond  Bennett,  '00,  famous  right  tackle 
on  the  football  teams  of  '98,  '99,  '00,  and  member  of 
the  Bureau  of  Soils  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  for  the  past  twenty  years,  has  recently 
brought  out  through  the  Macmillan  Company  the 
results  of  his  soil  investigations  in  the  South  under 
the  title  "The  Soils  and  Agriculture  of  the  Southern 
States." 

This  volume,  which  Mr.  Bennett  trusts  will  be 
looked  upon  as  the  first  in  a  series  of  books  which  it 
is  hoped  will  be  written  to  cover  all  sections  of  the 
United  States  and  their  relation  to  agriculture,  is  in- 
tended for  the  use  of  students,  instructors,  and  in- 
vestigators in  agricultural  economics,  as  well  as  farm- 
ers and  others  interested  in  the  development  of  farm 
lands  through  a  better  understanding  of  the  soils, 
the  crops  that  are  best  adapted  to  them,  and  the 
methods  of  farming  which  will  yield  the  greatest  re- 
turns. The  book  is  extensively  illustrated  and  con- 
tains a  soil  map  of  the  Southern  States,  together  with 
extensive  tables  and  data  for  use  of  Southern  farmers. 


North  Carolina  educators  have  for  a  number  of 
years  been  accustomed  to  look  to  L.  C.  Brogden,  '95, 
State  Supervisor  of  Rural  Elementarj'  Schools,  for 
constructive  suggestions  for  the  development  of  North 
Carolina  elementary  schools.  In  two  recent  bulle- 
tins issued  by  the  State  Department  of  Education 
(Nos.  XXVIII  and  XIV,  1920)  Mr.  Brogden 
has  further  added  to  the  list  of  publications  he  has 
issued  in  this  field.  His  latest  publications  bear  the 
respective  titles :  Suggestions  for  Rural  School  Super- 
visors and  A  Larger  Type  of  Rural  School  an  Im- 
perative Need.  The  former  is  a  manual  for  the  use 
of  rural  school  supervisors.  The  latter  is  a  discussion 
of  the  advantages  to  be  derived  from  the  enlarged  or 
consolidated  school  over  the  prevailing  type  of  one- 
teacher  unit. 


TO  THE  CLASS  OF   1896 

The  approaching  commencement  of  the  University 
will  mark  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  gradu- 
ation of  our  class  and,  if  we  can  gather  again  at 
Chapel  Hill,  it  will  also  mark  an  eventful  and  joyous 
occasion  in  the  lives  of  all  of  us.  I  can  think  of  no 
more  urgent  call,  either  of  duty  or  pleasure,  that 
could  come  to  any  of  us  in  connection  with  our  re- 
lations to  the  University  than  this  invitation  which 
our  Alma  Mater  cordially  sends  us  to  visit  the  dear 
old  place  this  year,  as  an  organized  class.  It  is  both 
an  obligation  and  an  opportunity. 

Having  been  requested  by  the  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity to  promote  this  our  twenty-fifth  anniversary 
reunion,  I  am  writing  this  open  letter,  to  urge  that 
you  begin  now,  each  one  of  you,  to  make  plans  to 
attend.  Those  of  you  who  have  families  should  plan 
to  bring  every  member,  if  possible,  and  let's  make  it 
a  '96  Class-Family  Reunion. 

The  reunion  exercises  will  be  on  the  morning  of 
June  14  in  Gerrard  Hall.  Make  your  plans,  however, 
to  come  on  the  Saturday  preceding,  so  that  you  may 
be  there  for  the  full  commencement  exercises  of  the 
University,  and  have  several  full  days  of  class  fel- 
lowship. 

Further  details  will  be  set  forth  in  a  letter  to  be 
mailed  at  an  early  date  to  each  member  of  the  class 
at  his  last  known  address,  according  to  the  University 
alumni  register,  suggesting  a  tentative  reunion  pro- 
gram. The  addresses  in  this  register  may  not  all  be 
correct,  so  I  want  to  urge  every  '96  man  who  sees  this 
notice  to  write  me  immediately,  care  of  the  Asheville 
Citizen,  Asheville,  N.  C,  giving  the  address  to  which 
further  notices  should  be  sent. 

Yours  in    '96, 

George  Stephens. 
Asheville,  N.  C,  April  4,  1921. 


Mr.  Thorndike  Saville,  Associate  Professor  of  Hy- 
draulic Engineering  in  the  University,  is  the  author 
of  two  recent  numbers  of  the  Press  Bulletins  of  the 
North  Carolina  Geological  and  Economic  Survey  en- 
titled respectively:  The  Relation  of  Water  Resources 
to  Forestry  (No.  172)  and  The  Water  Powers  of 
North  Carolina  (No.  175).  Professor  Saville  has  also 
contributed  to  Engineering  News-Record  for  August 
26  a  long  article  on  the  plans  by  which  the  French 
government  proposes  to  develop  and  regulate  the  river 
Rhone.  The  article,  which  is  extensively  illustrated 
with  maps,  diagrams,  and  tables,  was  prepared  by 
Professor  Saville  as  a  result  of  his  special  investiga- 
tions in  Switzerland  and  France  in  1919. 


J.  B.  Robertson.  '05,  superintendent  of  schools  of 
Cabarrus  County,  has  recently  issued  in  pamphlet 
form  Some  Suggestions  for  School  Committeemen  of 
Cabarrus  County.  The  publication  deals  with  The 
School  Building  and  Its  Equipment,  Setting  the 
House  and  Grounds  in  Order,  Libraries,  the  School- 
house  as  a  Community  Center,  and  other  subjects 
which  Mr.  Robertson  asks  the  committeemen  to  read, 
save  for  reference,  think  over,  and  put  into  practice.

THE  man's  name  and  record  are  on 
file  in  the  Institute's  offices.  This 
is  his  story,  just  as  he  told  it  to 
the  Institute  man.  He  sat  in  an  office, 
and  the  Alexander  Hamilton  Institute  man 
had  hardly  introduced  himself  before  he 
asked  for  the  enrolment  blank. 

"It  would  be  funny  if  it  weren't  so 
tragic,"  he  said,  "how  we  procrasti- 
nate in  doing  the  thing  we  know  we  ought 
to  do. 

"Two  years  ago  I  sent  for  'Forging 
Ahead  in  Business,'  the  wonderful  little 
book  that  your  people  give  to  ambitious 
men. 

"I  knew  the  value  of  your  Course; 
I  h.id  seen  what  it  can  do  for  other  college 
men.      I  meant  to  enrol  immediately,  but 


I 


Somehow  I  put  it  off 

FELT  the  need  of  an  all-'round  busi- 
ness training.  But  still  I  delayed,  and 
now — "  he  stopped  arid  smiled,  and  then 
went  on  with  a  serious  note  of  regret. 

"Now  the  thing  has  happened  to  me 
that  I've  been  working  fur  and  praying 
for  ever  since  I  left  school.  I've  just 
1  inded  a  real  job!  Understand  I'm  to  be 
practically  the  whole  works  in  this  new 
place.  The  decisions  will  all  be  mine. 
Buying,  accounting,  sales,  advertising, 
factory  management,  finance — I'U  be  re- 
sponsible for  them  all. 

"And  I'm  afraid, yes, sir, plain  afraid.  I 
haven't  got  the  training  that  I  ought  to  have 


begun  to  get  two  years  ago  .  .  .  the  training 
that  you  offered,  and  that  I  meant  to  take. 

"Suppose  I  fail  in  this  new  big  job! 
Why,  it  would  set  me  back  for  years!  I 
don't  intend  to  fail,  of  course.  I'm  going 
to  dig  into  this  Course  with  all  my  might 
and  learn  as  fast  as  I  can.  But  I  ought 
to  have  begun  two  years  ago.  What  a  fool 
I  was  to  put  it  off." 

The  tragic  penalty  of  delay 

TT  IS  because  incidents  like  this  are  told 

to  Alexander  Hamilton  Institute  men 

every  day  in  the  year  that  we  are  printing 

this  man's  story  in  his  own  simple  words. 

How  many  college  men  will  read  it  and 
say:  "I  could  have  said  almost  the  same 
thing  myself!" 

Since  it  was  founded  the  Institute  has 
enrolled  thousands  of  men  who  are  today 
making  more  rapid  progress  in  business  as 
a  result  of  its  training. 

Of  these  no  less  than  45,000  are  grad- 
uates of  colleges  and  universities. 

This  is  the  Institute's  mark  of  distinc- 
tion— that  its  appeal  is  to  the  unusual  man. 
It  has  only  one  Course,  embracing  the 
fundamentals  underlying  all  business,  and  its 
training  fits  a  man  to  the  sort  of  executive 
positions  where  demand  always  outruns 
supply. 

One  of  the  tragedies  of  the  business 
world  is  that  many  college  men  spend 
so  many  of  the  best  years  of  their  lives  in 
doing  tasks  which  they  know  are  below 
their  red  capac  i 


It  is  the  privilege  of  the  Institute  to  save 
those  wasted  years — to  give  a  man  in  the 
leisure  moments  of  a  few  months  the  work- 
ing knowledge  of  the  various  departments 
of  modern  business  which  would  ordinarily 
take  him  years  to  acquire. 

It  can  save  the  wasted  years  of  dull 
routine;  it  has  done  it  for  thousands  of  men. 
Only  you  know  how  much  a  year  of  your 
life  is  worth.  But  surely  it  is  worth  an 
evening  of  careful  thought;  it  is  worth  the 
little  effort  required  to  send  for 

"Forging  Ahead  in  Business" 

"T?ORGING  Ahead  in  Business,"  is  a 
r  116-page  book.  It  represents  the 
experience  of  1 1  years  in  training  men  for 
success.  It  has  been  revised  twenty  times; 
it  is  a  rather  expensive  book  to  produce. 
There  are  no  copies  for  boys  or  the  merely 
curious.  But  to  any  thinking  man  it  is  sent 
without  obligation.  Your  copy  is  ready 
to  go  to  you  the  moment  your  address  is

DIRECT    ADVERTISING 


DESIGNING

iHiiiiminn 


Direct  Advertising 


Offers  seven  distinct  advantages  of  high 
importance  to  him  who  would  expand 
his  selling  fields,  or  who,  in  his  present 
territories,  by  intensive  cultivation 
would  make  two  sales  grow  where  one 
was  recorded  before. 

1.  Direct  Advertising  Is  Individual. 
It  reaches  reader  when  he  is  receptive 
tn  the  ever-new  story  of  another  day's 
mail.  It  is  both  his  habit  and  desire  to 
give  to  the  mail  his  personal,  undivided, 
interested  attention.  Whether  it  suc- 
ceeds in  its  mission  depends  on  the  care 
it  received  before  mailing. 

2.  Direct  Advertising  Is  Timely.  The 
new  business  condition  that  arises  today 
can  be  treated  tomorrow  as  circum- 
stances direct — through  Direct  Adver- 
ising.  A  special  weather  condition,  a 
market  change,  a  new  line  of  goods,  a 
special  discount,  any  sudden  variation 
from  normal  is  readily  and  effectively 
treated  by  Direct  Advertising. 

3.  Direct  Advertising  is  Flexible.  It 
introduces  the  salesman  or  supplements 
his  personal  sale.  It  makes  direct  sales 
or  influences  the  user  to  buy  from  the 
retailer.  It  covers  a  city,  a  state  or  a 
nation,  limited  only  by  the  termini  of 
transportation  itself,  whether  train, 
steamer,  pack  mule  or  human  burden- 
bearer.  As  sales  and  production  de- 
mand, the  Direct  Advertising  appeal  can 
be  reduced  or  increased  in  scope.  It  is 
at  all  times  entirely  under  the  control 
of  the  advertiser. 

4.  Direct  Advertising  Is  Selective. 
Simply  make  your  own  choice  of  buyers 
you  wish  to  reach.  The  Postoffice  De- 
partment will  do  the  rest.  "With  Direct 
Advertising  you  can  winnow  the  inter- 
ested prospects  from  time-wasters  and 
give  your  salesmen  profitable  calls  to 
make.  You  can  direct  a  repeated  appeal 
to  a  selected  individual  and  by  sheer 
force  of  persistence  and  logic  break 
down  his  resistance  and  create  a 
"buyer."  Or  you  can  apply  the  same 
methods  to  a  hundred,  a  thousand,  tens 
of  thousands,  treating  your  mailing  lists 
separately  and  making  individual  sales 
by  a  mass  presentation — through  the 
mails. 

5.  Direct  Advertising  is  Confidential. 
There  is  an  intimacy  about  a  message  by 
mail,  comparable  only  (and  often  su- 
perior)    to    the    man-to-man     meeting. 


Through    Direct    Advertising    you    can 
speak   personally,   give  the   message  an 
individuality,    talk    to    the    reader    on 
terms  of  mutual  understanding. 

The  strategy  of  competitive  selling  is 
in  recording  a  sale  while  another  is  list- 
ing a  prospect.  Selling  by  mail  opens 
a  transaction  between  individuals.  Your 
appeal  and  effort  are  not  emblazoned 
broadcast  for  check-mating  by  rivals. 

6.  Direct  Advertising  Is  Economical. 
If  there  is  waste,  you  are  the  waster. 
Printing,  paper,  postage  and  mailing 
operations  represent  an  investment. 
But  a  wise  choice  of  "prospects,"  ac- 
curate listing  and  careful  mailing  elimi- 
nate the  hazard  so  that  every  message 
reaches  its  destination.  Your  appeal 
lias  its  opportunity  for  a  favorable  au- 
dience. Then — is  the  message  as  effi- 
cient as  the  messenger?  Thereon  de- 
pends whether  the  sale  will  be  effected. 
By  its  very  economy,  in  Direct  Advertis- 
ing, you  have  an  automatically  per- 
sisitent  salesman.  Some  time  your  cus- 
tomer will  be  in  the  market.  Those  mail 
appeals  which  do  not  make  actual  sales 
are  d.o  i  n  g  invaluable  "missionary 
work,"  against  the  buying  time.  Then 
the  order  blank  returns  with  the  coveted 
business. 

7.  Direct  Advertising  Is  Forceful. 
You  can  marshal  your  appeals  on  paper 
without  fear  of  interruption  or  disre- 
gard. On  a  single  page  you  can  com- 
press the  study,  the  care  and  the  em- 
phasis of  months  of  preparation.  There 
is  no  hesitation  in  making  the  appeal, 
no  delay  between  explanation  and  sug- 
gestions, no  interference  aroused  by  the 
human  desire  to  postpone  judgment, 
ask  questions  or  delay  action.  Within 
one  cover  is  the  influential  appeal,  the 
description  and  illustration,  the  order 
blank,  the  return  envelope.  Your  story 
is  told  completely.  Decisive  action  is 
made  easy.  Thus  is  Direct  Advertising 
effective.

Firing  the 

\'t  l>>cit {/-Pressure  Gun 


The  Chronograph  Which 
Records  Velocity 


The  Spirit  of  Accuracy 


A  bulb  is  pressed,  a  roar — and  long  before  the  echo  dies, 
the  velocity  and  pressure  given  by  a  charge  of  Hercules 
Powder  are  a  matter  of  record. 

When  a  shot  is  fired  in  the  velocity-pressuie  gun  on  one 
of  the  ranges  of  the  Hercules  Ballistic  Station,  the  story 
of  that  shot  is  electrically  flashed  to  the  chronograph. 
This  instrument  registers  the  interval  of  time  necessary 
for  the  shot  to  strike  the  target. 

The  painstaking  care  with  which  this  test  is  repeatedly 
carried  out  with  every  lot  of  powder  is  indicative  of  the 
spirit  of  accuracy  which  pervades  tbe  Hercules  Powder  Co. 
No  strain  of  manufacturing  conditions  can  be  so  great- 
no  demand  for  Hercules  Explosives  so  insistent — that  this 
spirit  of  accuracy  does  not  rule  at  a  Hercules  plant. 

When  you  buy  an  explosive — whether  it  be  dynamite  for 
removing  mountains  or  stumps,  or  sporting  powder  for 
hunting  or  trapshooting— remember  that  a  product  bear- 
ing the  name  Hercules  can  always  be  depended  upon  to  do 
uniformly  well  the  work  for  which  it  is  intended.

The  Way  to  Keep  Health  is  to 
Keep  Clean  Inside 

By  C.  HOUSTON  GOUDISS 

Publisher,  The  Forecast,  and  Nutrition   Expert  of  National  Reputation 

THE  foremost  foe  of  disease  is  cleanliness.  It  will  defeat  even 
the  most  persistent  and  resourceful  germs  quicker  than  any- 
thing else. 

The  average  person  has  an  idea  that  a  steaming  soap-and-water 
scruh  in  the  tub  makes  for  cleanliness.  This  is  true  as  far  as  it  goes, 
but  it  doesn't  go  far  enough. 

Cleanliness  that  is  only  skin-deep  protects  only  one  of  the  paths 
by  which  disease  enters  the  body — and  the  one  least  used  by  enemies 
of  health. 

In  the  long  coils  of  the  intestines  these  deadly  foes  find  their 
favorite  battle-field.  There,  in  masses  of  waste  matter,  are  bred 
noxious  poisons  upon  which  these  foes  can  and  do  feast.  There, 
unless  this  waste  matter  is  promptly  removed,  these  poisons  penetrate 
the  porous  walls  of  the  intestines  and  get  into  the  blood  to  play  havoc 
with  the  whole  human  house. 

In  order  to  have  health  the  body  must  be  as  clean  on  the  inside  as 
on  the  outside. 

There  is  just  one  safe,  convenient  and  harmless  interior  cleanser — 
and  its  name  is  XU.TOL. 

By  lubricating  the  walls  of  the  intestines  so  that  the  constantly 
accumulating  waste  matter  cannot  stay  long  enough  in  one  place 
to  cause  trouble.  NUJOL  acts  as  a  perfect  human  house 
cleaner. 

Being  absolutely  non-medical,  it  cannot  produce  any 
harmful  effect  on  any  part  of  the  body  with  which  it  comes 
in  contact. 

Not  a  particle  of  NUJOL  is  absorbed  into  the  system 
in  its  cleansing  passage  thru  the  digestive  channels.  It 
causes  no  pain  or  discomfort.  It  is  as  easy  to  take  as 
water,  yet  no  amount  of  water  could  cleanse  and  keep 
clean  the  interior  of  the  bodv  as  NU.TOT  does.

SERVICE    TO    YOU 


AT  the  touch  of  a  button  in' 
L  numerable  services  are  per' 
formed  for  mans  personal  comfort 
and  convenience.  Communities  are 
made  brighter  and  safer  by  night. 
Transportation  is  swifter,  surer, 
economically  better.  Industrial 
machinery  everywhere  is  energised 
to  produce  the  world's  goods 
with  far  greater  speed,  simplicity 
and  economy. 

But  bending  electricity  to  mans 
will  would  be  futile  without  the 
electric  light  and  power  companies. 
Through  them,  men  benefit  by  a 
Research  which  has  made  incan' 
descent  lamps  four  times  better, 
power  transmission  easier  now 
over  hundreds  of  miles  than  it 
was  then  for  ten  miles,  and  gen' 
erating  machinery  capable  of  pro- 


ducing a  hundred  times  as  much 
power  in  a  given  space. 

It  is  through  the  investment  of 
capital  in  electric  light  and  power 
companies  that  electricity  can  be 
generated  on  a  vast  scale  for  econ' 
omy's  sake.  It  is  their  capital,  their 
engineering  and  maintenance  ser' 
vice,  their  business  organisation 
which  distribute  current  through 
constantly  multiplying  millions  of 
wires.  These  companies  are  vital 
to  the  world's  use  of  electricity. 

In  order  that  they  may  deliver 
to  you  at  the  end  of  a  wire  the 
fullest  benefit  of  Research,  they 
need  the  sympathetic  interest  of 
a  consuming  public  which  views 
fair'mindedly  the  operating  and 
financing  problems  of  this  service.
