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  bit"  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.

OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


Building  Program  Underway 

The  best  news  that  has  been  heard  in  Chapel  Hill 
since  the  appropriation  was  passed  in  March  is  that 
which  came  out  of  Raleigh  on  April  16  when  the  Build- 
ing Commission  made  three  definite,  soul-satisfying 
pronouncements:  (1)  There  would  be  no  delay  in 
building  on  account  of  lack  of  funds;  (2)  Thomas  C. 
Atwood,  builder  of  the  Yale  Bowl  and  directing  engi- 
neer in  other  big  developments  had  been  secured  for 
duty  at  the  Hill  on  the  following  Monday;  and  (3) 
dirt  would  begin  to  fly  in  two  weeks  on  the  extension 
of  the  track  of  the  Chapel  Hill  "limited"  to  a  point 
back  of  the  power  house  and  on  the  foundations  of  a 
dozen  new  faculty  houses.

A  Critical  North  Carolina 

The  University  has  just  passed  through  another 
highly  important  High  School  Week  featuring  the 
final  contests  of  the  Debating  Union  and  Track  Meet 
for  1921 — events,  which,  while  similar  in  many 
respects  to  their  predecessors,  are  ever  new  and 
stimulating. 

The  full  significance  of  these  annual  gatherings 
which  bring  hundreds  of  high  school  pupils,  teachers, 
and  parents  to  the  campus  has  not  been  fully  sensed 
by  the  older  alumni.  They  haven't  seen  the  campus 
veritably  alive  with  youngsters  and  gray  heads  from 
every  quarter  of  the  State  making  their  first  ac- 
quaintance with  their  University  and  the  program 
which  the  University  is  carrying  out. 

In  welcoming  the  visitors.  Professor  Bernard  char- 
acterized the  debate  as  the  most  educative  event  North 
Carolina  has  witnessed — the  discussion  having  involv- 
ed hundreds  of  students  and  informing  thousands 
of  North  Carolinians  upon  a  vital  topic  of  the  day.  In 
presenting  the  Ayeock  Memorial  Cup,  Professor  Wil- 
liams declared  that  as  a  result  of  the  investigation 
and  study  and  open  discussion  growing  out  of  the 
contests  for  the  past  nine  years  thai  North  Carolina 
was  1 oming  the  universally  educated  (and  conse- 
quently critical  and  discriminating)  State  that  Ay- 
eock prayed  that  it  might  be.  And  Professor  Noble, 
ill  awarding  trophy  cups  and  medals  to  winners  in  the 
athletic  contest,  saw  in  the  youthful  visitors  the  set 
ting  up  of  physical  standards  that  will  make  for 
sounder  bodies  and,  for  the  indwelling  of  sounder 
minds  throughout  the  entire  bounds  of  North 
( 'arolina.

Harder  to  Please 

What  we  are  attempting  to  say  about  High  School 
Week  was  very  much  better  said  by  one  of  the  de- 
baters the  other  day  when  she  told  her  hostess  good- 
bye: "Her  mother  had  always  said  she  was  hard  to 
please.     Hereafter,  she  would  be  harder!" 

Possibly  you  don't  gel  just  what  she  meant.  Electric 
lights  in  her  room,  running  water  in  the  house,  call- 


ing up  her  principal  over  the  'phone,  were  new  ex- 
periences. There  were  the  arboretum  and  the  private 
lawns  aglow  with  flowers.  Piloted  by  a  senior  from 
her  home  county,  she  went  through  the  chemistry 
laboratory,  saw  the  specimens  in  the  botanical  and 
zoological  museums,  the  guinea  pigs  in  the  medical 
laboratory,  stood  before  the  tablets  in  Memorial  Hall 
and  portraits  in  the  Di  and  Phi  Halls  linking  her  up 
with  the  illustrious  men  from  her  section.  There  was 
the  Library  with  its  almost  100,000  volumes,  and  the 
bread  mixer  and  big  oven  in  the  basement  of  commons 
hall  with  some  3,000  biscuits  in  the  making  for  the 
following  tneal — not  to  mention  the  70  gallon  soup 
kettles  and  the  electrically  driven  potato  peeler  and 
ice  cream  freezers ! 

Then  there  were  standards  for  debate  and  she 
watched  one  of  the  boys  from  her  school  put  the  12- 
pound  shot  for  the  first  time  and  fumble  at  the  discus 
and  wonder  what  in  the  world  it  was.  And  then  there 
was  the  idea  of  college — of  four  years  of  growth  and 
development  beyond  the  high  school  and  a  life  of 
expanding  interest  in  the  great  outside  world. 

This  young  lady  went  home  "harder  to  please" 
not  for  selfish  purposes,  but  that  her  brothers  and 
sisters  and  neighbors  might  come  into  a  wider  field 
of  knowledge — that  the  benefits  of  the  education  of 
which  Ayeock  dreamed  and  of  which  she  had  caught 
the  meaning  might  be  more  universally  applied. 

DDD 

Bread-and-Butter  Letter 

From  this  same  young  lady  there  came  the  follow- 
ing bread-and-butter  letter.  It  isn't  in  the  conven- 
tional form,  but  it's  worth  reading — and  remember- 
ing. "I  have  talked  so  much  about  my  wonderful 
trip  that  my  throat  is  sore.  If  our  school  can  ever  be 
used  in  helping  put  through  a  campaign  for  school 
boys  and  girls,  we're  ready."

The  Philosophy  of  Campus  Clothes 

The  Design  and  Improvement  of  School  Grounds, 
a  beautifully  illustrated  68-page  bulletin  recently  is- 
sued by  the  Bureau  of  Extension,  by  Dr.  W.  C. 
Coker,  Kenan  Professor  of  Botany  and  Director  of 
the  University  Arboretum,  and  Miss  Eleanor  Hoff- 
mann, not  only  serves  as  the  title  of  a  publication 
intended  for  the  use  of  North  Carolina  Schools  and 
community  organizations  interested  in  the  artistic 
planting  and  beautification  of  public  properties,  but 
as  a  text  for  the  administration  and  building  coin- 
mission  of  the  University  having  in  charge  the  build- 
ing program  for  the  next  two  years. 

We  say  text,  because  the  opening  chapter  by  Dr. 
Coker  sets  forth  the  philosophy  of  campus  clothes  to 
which  be  has  adhered  in  the  transformation  of  a 
crawfish  bog  into  the  present  Arboretum  and  which 
others  in  the  village  have  benefited  from  in  the  plant- 
ing of  their  lawns  and  flower  gardens.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


The  Review  has  remarked  before  that  the  curve 
of  campus  beauty — to  the  making  of  which  grass, 
and  flower,  and  tree,  and  rain,  and  sun  have  all 
contributed — has  steadily  moved  forward  since  Dr. 
Coker  began  to  apply  his  philosophy,  and  The  Review 
has  also  remarked  that  the  curve  representing  the 
"interior  decoration"  of  the  buildings  on  the  campus 
has,  if  anything,  deviated  in  a  downward  direction 
from  the  straight  horizontal. 

nnn 

Why  Not  an  "Interior"  Philosophy? 

Granted  that  the  lack  of  money  and  the  frightful 
overcrowding  have  made  this  inevitable,  the  relief 
now  promised  will  not  be  as  complete  as  it  should  be 
unless  an  "interior"  philosophy  is  worked  out  and 
steadily  applied.  North  Carolina,  through  its  General 
Assembly,  has  appropriated  money  for  buildings 
which  should  be  suited  to  the  uses  to  which  they  are 
to  be  put,  substantial,  and  attractive.  Doors  like  those 
in  Phillips  Hall,  floors  like  those  in  the  Library,  parti- 
tions similar  to  those  in  Peabody,  ought  not  to  be 
tolerated,  and  a  fine  should  be  imposed  upon  those 
responsible  for  the  care  of  the  new  buildings  if  the 
furnishings  are  not  thought  through  at  the  beginning 
and  made  to  serve  in  looks  and  usefulness  the  pur- 
poses for  which  they  are  intended. 

We  are  making  no  plea  for  luxury  or  extrava- 
gance, but  we  should  forever  have  done  with  make- 
shifts. North  Carolina  is  willing  to  spend  money  for 
that  which  is  decent,  and  it  is  up  to  the  authorities 
in  charge  of  the  program  to  see  that  we  get  it. 

nnn 

No  Assistance  Should  be  Overlooked. 

Before  we  pass  from  the  consideration  of  the  build- 
ing program  we  venture  another  suggestion — namely, 
that  in  the  carrying  out  of  the  program,  faculty  opin- 
ion, insofar  as  it  is  reasoned  and  sound,  be  sought 
and  utilized.  We  do  not  go  so  far  as  to  suggest 
that  the  Trustees  add  faculty  representatives  to  the 
building  commission  as  already  constituted,  but  we 
know  that  the  faculty  is  greatly  interested  in  the 
whole  program  of  University  development  and  that  a 
method  should  be  provided  by  which  such  suggestions 
as  have  formerly  been  available  through,  such  faculty 
committees  as  those  on  buildings  and  grounds  and 
faculty  living  conditions,  (whose  present  status  is 
more  or  less  anomalous)  should  still  reach  the  full  com- 
mission. In  designing  the  new  units  of  the  Uni- 
versity plant  and  fitting  them  to  their  precise  educa- 
tional uses,  in  the  extension  of  the  campus  as  a  whole, 
in  striving  after  a  complete  setting  and  environment 
which  will  contribute  to  the  highest  good  of  the 
thronging  students  who  pass  this  way,  no  available 
source  of  assistance  should  lie  overlooked. 

nnn 

The  Tar  Heel  Decries  Lack 

While  the  subject  of  more  attractive  interiors  is 
under  consideration  we  wish  to  call  the  attention  of 
the  alumni  to  an  article  in  a  recent  number  of  the  Tar 
Heel  decrying  the  dearth  of  works  of  art  in  the  Uni- 
versity. Except  for  three  or  four  plaster  reproduc- 
tions— the  Apollo,  Minerva,  and  Venus — in  the 
Library,  the  Michael  in  the  Chapel,  and  the  few  books 
purchased  through  the  income  of  the  Milburn  Fund 
for  art  and  architecture,  the  University  cannot  be 


said  to  possess  an  art  collection.  But  in  an  institu- 
tion that  is  to  mould  the  taste  of  the  leaders  of  North 
Carolina  and  the  South,  there  ought  to  be. 

Unfortunately  in  our  undergraduate  days  we  lacked 
even  the  few  works  the  present  student  body  see,  and 
consequently  we  cannot  with  any  degree  of  authority 
say  what  should  be  provided,  but  we  do  know  that 
someone  else  can  be  found  who  knows  and  that  some 
alumnus  could  put  a  few  thousand  dollars  to  no 
better  purpose  than  to  make  a  beginning  in  this  im- 
portant field. 

nnn 

North  Carolina,  the  Pace  Setter 

From  an  article  with  the  above  caption  in  the 
April  Georgia  Alumni  Record  in  which  the  results 
of  the  recent  educational  campaign  in  North  Carolina 
are  detailed,  the  following  paragraph  is  taken : 

North  Carolina  is  the  only  state  in  the  Southeast 
which  has  become  thoroughly  converted  to  the  propo- 
sition that  revolutionary  methods  are  necessary  to 
nut  new  life  into  the  higher  educational  institutions. 
It  is  a  truly  remarkable  circumstance  that  there 
should  be  such  a  totally  different  conception  of  a 
state's  duty  towards  education  in  two  commonwealths 
divided  only  by  an  imaginary  line,  as  is  found  when 
we  compare  North  Carolina  and  Georgia.  At  the 
very  time  when  our  public  men  are  talking  in  terms 
of  cutting  appropriations  to  our  colleges,  the  North 
Carolina  legislature  has  enormously  increased  the 
appropriations  for  colleges  and  charitable  institutions.

Three  Decades  of  Achievement. 

From  a  32-page  booklet  recently  issued  by  the 
University  of  Chicago  and  comprising  in  its  makeup 
all  that  is  fine  in  the  craftsmanship  of  printer,  en- 
graver, and  binder,  The  Review  excerpts  for  the 
consideration  of  the  alumni  the  following  statement 
of  achievement  of  one  of  the  great  modern  universities. 

The  University  of  Chicago  is  now  in  its  thirtieth 
year.  It  is  still  the  youngest  of  great  American 
universities.  But  it  has  matriculated  87.000  students; 
it  has  graduated  10,000  Bachelors,  2,000  Masters. 
1.200  Doctors  of  Philosophy,  and  600  Doctors  of  Law. 
It  has  an  annual  enrollment  of  11,000  students;  it 
has  a  library  of  almost  1,000,000  books  and  assets 
aggregating  $50,000,000. 

nnn 

North  Carolina  in  Comparison 

At  the  last  session  of  the  legislature  Carolina  made 
"first  down,"  but  as  compared  with  this  record  of 
achievement  of  Chicago  she  has  still  many  yards  to 
go.  In  fact,  according  to  a  study  of  college  atten- 
dance (University  News  Letter,  April  13),  in  spite 
of  the  fact  that  all  North  Carolina  colleges  are  over- 
crowded and  many  nunils  failed  to  receive  admit- 
tance last  fall,  only  23  North  Carolinians  out  of  every 
10,000  are  in  attendance  at  college  today, — thirty-two 
other  states  in  the  Union  making  a  better  showing  in 
this  particular  than  she  does.  The  average  for  the 
country  at  large  is  36,  with  Virginia,  Tennessee,  South 
Carolina,  and  Texas  in  the  South  leading  with  33, 
28,  26,  and  24  respectively. 

And  the  total  capital  invested  in  all  of  the  31  col- 
leges of  the  State  is  $1 2,500.000  approximately,  or 
just  one  fourth  of  the  $50,000,000  of  assets  which  the 
single  University  of  Chicago  possesses. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW

The  Graduate  School 

Attention  is  again  drawn  to  the  activities  of  the 
Graduate  School  of  the  University  which  has  recently 
issued  a  detailed  catalogue  of  courses  offered  and  a 
list  of  the  one  hundred  and  forty  odd  fellows  and 
graduate  students  enrolled  during  the  present  year 
(Graduate  School  Series  No.  3  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  Record). 

Three  facts  which  an  inspection  of  the  catalogue 
clearly  shows,  and  which  are  of  particular  interest  to 
the  alumni  are:  (1  1  The  work  of  the  School  has  been 
clearly  visualized  or  denned  in  a  thoroughgoing  man- 
ner ;  (2)  The  standards  of  the  School  are  such  as  grow 
logically  out  of  the  distinctive  research  of  former 
years;  and  (3)  Graduate  students  to  the  number  of 
140  or  more  from  a  score  of  states  are  here  hard  at 
work.  In  this  particular,  certainly,  the  caption  of 
the  article  from  the  Georgia  Alumni  Bulletin  applies 
so  far  as  Southern  institutions  are  concerned,  for 
Carolina  is  the  "pace  setter." 

□  □□ 
Iowa  Shows  the  Way 

From  time  to  time  The  Review  has  drawn  the 
attention  of  the  alumni  to  the  advisability  of  estab- 
lishing fellowships  looking  to  the  further  development 
of  the  Graduate  School.  Just  what  we  have  in  mind 
is  splendidly  illustrated  by  the  following  excerpt 
from  the  Iowa  Alumnus  for  February: 

Appointments  with  stipends  are  offered  in  the 
Graduate  College  of  the  University  for  the  academic 
year  1921-22  as  follows : 

18  Scholars— $200  to  $400  a  year,  with  free  tuition. 

18  Junior  Fellows—  $300  to  $500  a  year,  with  free 
tuition. 

3  Senior  Fellows— $600  to  $800  a  year,  with  free 
tuition. 

15  Research  Assistants,  on  half-time — $600  and  up- 
wards in  proportion  to  qualifications  for  service. 

5  Research  Associates — $1,000  and  upwards  in 
proportion  to  qualifications  for  independent  achieve- 
ment and  service. 

75  Graduate  Assistants,  on  half-time,  $700  to  $800. 

Both  Research  Assistants  and  Research  Associates 
may  be  appointed  on  a  twelve  months'  basis.  The  dis- 
tinction between  research  assistant  and  graduate  as- 
sistant is  that  the  former  is  appointed  exclusively  for 
assistance  in  research,  whereas  the  latter  is  appointed 
for  assistance  in  undergraduate  instruction  ;  both  are 
regarded  as  apprentices.  With  the  permission  of  the 
department  graduate  students  have  the  privilege  of 
carrying  a  maximum  of  a  two-thirds  schedule  as  grad- 
uate students.

Not  Intended  as  Free  Advertisement 

The  following  quotation  from  President  Hadley, 
of  Yale,  is  not  intended  as  a  free  advertisement  of  the 
journal  and  organization  mentioned,  but  rather  to 
put  across  anew  to  the  University  and  alumni  the  de- 
sirability of  founding  a  University  Press  and  the 
publication  by  the  University  of  additional  scholarly 
journals : 

The  thintr  on  which  T  look  hack-  with  most  satisfac- 
tion in  my  whole  administration  is  the  development 
of  the  publishing  work  of  the  University  and  the  rec- 
ognition it  has  obtained  throughout  the  world.  T 
regard  the  Yale  Review  and  the  Yale  University 
Press  as  our  best  products  of  the  last  twenty  years. 


Make  These  a  Matter  of  Concern 

Elsewhere  in  this  issue,  three  matters  are  presented 
which  every  alumnus  will  find  of  pronounced  interest  : 
(1)  The  commencement  program;  (2)  The  statement 
concerning  the  advancement  of  the  program  of  the 
building  commission;  and  (3)  A  program  of  activi- 
ties for  a  central  alumni  office. 

In  presenting  these  matters  for  special  consider- 
ation we  would  remind  the  alumni  that  their  presence 
is  particularly  desirable  at  this  commencement,  that 
they  may  play  an  important  part  in  the  financing  and 
hacking  of  the  building  program,  and  that  they 
should  realize  fully  what  service  an  alumni  office  can 
render  Alma  Mater. 

As  the  University  grows,  it  is  imperative  that  it 
receive  the  constant,  informed  assistance  of  the 
alumni.  Otherwise,  there  is  no  way  under  the  sun 
by  which  it  can  be  100  per  cent  efficient,  and  it  cannot 
afford  to  be  anything  else. 

□  □□ 
A  Matter  of  Taxes 

The  Review  is  not  a  close  student  of  the  tax  situ- 
ation in  North  Carolina,  but  it  followed  the  tax  legis- 
lation of  1919  and  the  subsequent  revaluation  carried 
out  in  accord  with  it  to  the  point  that  it  thoroughly 
believed  the  program  was  by  far  the  most  important 
provided  for  in  the  history  of  the  State.  Barring  a 
few  minor  defects,  the  program  was  undoubtedly  one 
making  for  progress  and  righteousness  and  should 
have  been  continued  with  a  minimum  of  alteration. 

The  action  of  the  recent  legislature  in  opening  the 
gate  for  the  return  to  an  approximation  of  the  former 
status  (an  openinsj  of  which  a  large  number  of 
counties  have  already  taken  advantage)  and  of  re- 
fusing to  provide  an  ad  valorem  tax  for  State  pur- 
poses, has  already  led  to  a  grave  situation  the  end  of 
which  is  yet  far  from  being  in  sijrht — particularly  as 
it  relates  to  the  money  required  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  six  months  school  program  and  the  underwrit- 
ing of  the  bonds  authorized  for  roads  and  other  build- 
ing programs. 

Afrain.  we  repeat  that  we  cannot  qualify  as  a  tax 
expert — but  we  cannot  close  our  eyes  to  the  fact  that 
the  change  recently  provided  for  tends  to  the  weaken- 
ing, rather  than  the  quickening  of  the  building  of  a 
greater,  finer  State.

Shall  the  Women  Have  a  Home? 

Alumni  who  attended  the  annual  meeting  last  com- 
mencement will  recall  that  Judge  F.  D.  Winston,  '79. 
offered  a  resolution  which  was  adopted  that  the  Gen- 
eral Alumni  Asociation  memorialize  the  legislature  to 
provide  a  woman's  building  for  the  women  students 
of  the  University. 

So  far  as  The  Review  can  discover,  the  Association 
did  not  present  such  a  memorial  as  authorized  by  the 
resolution,  and  although  an  item  in  the  six  year  pro- 
gram  presented  by  the  University  called  for  $200,000 
for  a  woman's  building,  no  plans,  so  far  as  The 
Review  knows,  are  underway  for  the  erection  of  it 
out  of  the  present  building  funds. 

But  hi'  thai  as  it  may,  the  time  has  come  for  the 
University  to  settle  this  matter  and  settle  it  satisfac- 
torily— by  the  immediate  erection  of  an  adequate  wo- 
man's building.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


For  twenty-four  years  women  have  been  admitted 
to  the  upper  classes  and  professional  schools  of  the 
University  in  order  to  permit  them  to  pursue  courses 
nut  offered  elsewhere  in  North  Carolina.  In  spite  of 
every  conceivable  difficulty  they  have  continued  to 
come  and  in  increasing-  numbers.  This  year  some  (55 
have  been  enrolled  and  the  demand  constantly  grows. 

Time  was  when  only  four  or  six  applied  for  admis- 
sion and  the  matter  could  be  handled.  But  today  with 
the  demand  steadily  increasing-  and  with  absolutely 
no  provision  made  for  their  physical  comfort  and 
housing,  the  final  limit  has  been  reached.  Women  are 
here.  Others  want  to  come,  and  must  come  if  they 
secure  in  North  Carolina  the  instruction  they  desire. 
And  if  they  must  come,  they  must  be  taken  care  of 
properly — and  now — and  by  means  of  a  building 
erected  out  of  State  funds !

We  Believe  the  Water's  Fine 

Twelve  months  ago  the  alumnus  imagination  could 
easily  conjure  up  the  walls  of  a  tip  top  ample  hotel 
soon  to  be  placed  somewhere  near  the  campus  where 
the  old  grad  or  visitor  or  institute  attender  or  golfer 
(if  we  had  a  golf  course),  or  what  not  could  "put 
up"  for  a  genuinely  comfortable  stay  within  sound  of 
the  old  bell — for  John  Umstead  was  talking  in  the 
terms  of  hotel  prospectus,  with  Messrs.  Wright,  Hill, 
Roberson,  and  Woollen  aiding  and  abetting  close  by. 

The  Review  doesn't  know  what  happened  to  their 
fair  vision,  but  it  does  know  that  the  need  for  an 
ample  hotel  has  grown  in  the  twelve  months  which 
have  passed  and  that  the  promoters  are  overlooking 
some  dividends  that  are  lying  around  to  be  picked 
up  by  the  fellows  who  go  ahead ! 

One  swallow  doesn't  make  a  spring.  We  never  said 
it  did.  And  the  crowd  of  parents  and  friends  who 
wanted  to  come  to  the  recent  High  School  Week  events 
but  had  to  be  told  to  stay  at  home  for  lack  of  accom- 
modations, would  not  develop  sufficient  business  to 
take  care  of  the  running  expense  for  the  remaining  362 
days — but  we  are  getting  tired  of  telling  good,  well- 
wishing  North  Carolinians  who  want  to  see  their 
University  to  stay  at    home! 

We  haven't  ever  made  the  plunge  into  the  hotel 
waters,  but  with  the  High  School  Week,  the  Road 
Institute,  and  the  thousand  and  one  meetings  and 
special  occasions  which  demand  entertainment  here 
and  have  to  be  shooed  away  for  lack  of  accommoda- 
tion— we  believe  the  water's  fine!  We  haven't  cata- 
logued the  events,  but  if  you  want  the  list  of  the 
income  producers,  we've  got  'em! 


DR.   ALEXANDER   BOYD   HAWKINS 

Dr.  Alexander  Boyd  Hawkins,  of  the  class  of  1845, 
oldest  living  alumnus  of  the  University,  died  at  his 
home  in  Raleigh  early  on  the  morning  of  April  14. 
He  was  in  his  ninety-seventh  year,  having  been  born 
January  25,  1825,  in  Franklin  County. 

News  of  the  death  of  the  dean  of  all  the  University's 
sons,  the  eldest  brother  of  the  10,000  living  alumni, 
was  received  in  Chapel  Hill  with  deep  sorrow.  E. 
R.  Rankin,  Secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association,  sent 
the  following  telegram  to  Dr.  Hawkins'  family:  "In 
the  death  of  our  oldest  living  brother  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  has  lost 
its  most  honored  member,  a  loyal  and  devoted  son  of 
Alma  Mater.     The  lesson  of  his  long  life  has  been  a 


constant  inspiration.  We  send  you  our  deepest  sym- 
pathy." 

President  Chase  sent  this  telegram:  "The  president 
and  faculty  of  the  University  are  deeply  grieved  at 
the  death  of  her  most  devoted  son,  honored  for  many 
years  as  the  University's  oldest  alumnus."  From  the 
student  body  went  also  a  telegram  signed  by  W.  R. 
Berryhill,  president  of  the  senior  class,  and  John 
H.  Kerr,  Jr.,  chairman  of  the  campus  cabinet:  "The 
University  student  body  joins  the  many  friends  and 
admirers  of  Dr.  Hawkins  in  sorrow  and  grief  for  his 
death." 

To  the  great  body  of  the  alumni  Dr.  Hawkins  was 
known  and  revered  above  all  other  sons  of  the  Uni- 
versity. Since  the  death  several  years  ago  of  Major 
Francis  T.  Bryan,  of  the  class  of  1842,  Dr.  Hawkins 
has  been  repeatedly  honored  and  universally  revered 
as  the  oldest  living  alumnus.  He  has  been  the  guest 
of  honor  at  many  alumni  gatherings  and  every  year 
on  his  birthday  telegrams  of  congratulation  and  good 
wishes  have  poured  in  on  him. 

To  the  day  of  his  death  Dr.  Hawkins  maintained 
his  sympathetic  and  intelligent  interest  in  the  Uni- 
versity. He  had  lived  through  many  generations  of 
educational  history  in  North  Carolina,  seen  and  known 
intimately  the  flourishing  University  of  the  days  be- 
fore the  Civil  War,  watched  the  University's  struggle 
through  the  war  period  and  through  the  blight  of 
reconstruction,  had  been  a  passionate  sympathizer  in 
the  dark  days  of  the  '70  's  and  early  '80  's,  had  watched 
with  pride  the  steady  growth  of  the  '90 's  and  early 
twentieth  century,  and  had  rejoiced  with  the  whole 
State  in  the  full  flowering  of  the  recent  years.  Suc- 
cessive administrations  of  Swain,  Pool,  Battle,  Win- 
ston, Alderman,  Tenable,  Graham,  and  Chase  were  all 
familiar  to  him  in  the  rise  and  fall  and  steady  develop- 
ment of  University  history. 

Dr.  Hawkins  was  born  in  Franklin  County,  January 
25,  1825,  the  son  of  Colonel  John  D.  Hawkins  and  of 
Mrs.  Jane  Boyd  Hawkins.  His  uncle  was  Governor 
William  Hawkins;  his  grandfather  was  Colonel  Phile- 
mon Hawkins,  aide  to  Governor  Tryon  at  the  Battle 
of  Alamance.  He  went  to  school  in  Louisburg  and 
entered  the.  University  in  1841,  sixteen  years  old. 
After  he  graduated  in  1845,  he  went  to  Jefferson  Medi- 
cal School  in  Philadlphia. 

As  a  young  doctor  he  lived  first  in  Warren  County 
and  then  moved  to  Florida,  his  wife's  state  He 
abandoned  the  practice  of  medicine  in  Florida  and 
became  a  planter,  living  for  several  years  near  Talla- 
hassee, and  then  moving  to  Raleigh  where  he  had 
been  for  the  past  forty  years.  He  was  a  director  of  the 
Citizens  National  Bank,  and  a  devoted  member  of 
the  Church  of  the  Good  Shepherd  in  Raleigh.  His 
wife,  who  was  Miss  Martha  L.  Bailev.  a  daughter  of 
General  William  Bailey,  died  in  1010,  and  an  only 
daughter  died  in  infancy.  Dr.  Hawkins  was  the  oldest 
living  graduate  of  Jefferson  and  was  thought  to  be  the 
oldest  bank  director  in  the  United  States.

BUILDING  PROGRAM  GETS  UNDER  WAY 


Three  salient  facts  stand  out  in  the  building  plans 
at  the  University  as  The  Review  goes  to  press,  all 
indicating  that  the  biggest  construction  work  ever 
done  in  Chapel  Hill,  involving  the  expenditure  of  the 
$1,490,000  appropriation  granted  by  the  General  As- 
sembly for  permanent  improvements,  will  be  started 
immediately,  will  be  carefully  planned  and  scientifi- 
cally directed,  and  will  be  prosecuted  with  the  utmost 
vigor  until  the  last  detail  has  been  competed.  The 
vital  facts  are  these: 

First — The  condition  of  the  money  market,  in  Wall 
Street  or  anywhere  else,  is  not  going  to  block  the 
building.  North  Carolina  bankers  and  investors, 
many  of  them  University  alumni,  have  shown  such  a 
willingness  to  finance  the  University's  building  that 
the  Trustees  are  going  ahead. 

Second — Thomas  C.  Ativood,  one  of  the  best  known 
supervising  engineers  in  the  United  States,  with  a 
long  record  of  successful  building,  has  been  retained 
as  engineer  for  all  the  University  construction,  has 
already  come  to  Chapel  Hill,  and  will  be  continuously 
on  the  job  until  the  work  is  finished- 
Third — Plans  have  already  been  made  and  ground 
will  probably  be  broken  by  the  time  tltis  issue  of  The 
Review  reaches  its  readers  for  the  first  projects,  the 
construction  of  a  spur  railroad  track  to  haul  materials 
and  the  erecting  of  a  dozen  new  faculty  houses. 

These  and  other  matters  were  settled  at  a  joint 
meeting  of  the  Building  Committee  and  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Trustees,  in  Raleigh,  April  16.  Mem- 
bers of  the  Building  Committee  are  J.  Bryan  Grimes, 
chairman,  George  Stephens,  James  A.  Gray,  Haywood 
Parker,  John  Sprunt  Hill,  President  Chase,  and 
Charles  T.  Woollen,  secretary.  Members  of  the  execu- 
tive committee  are  Governor  Morrison,  E.  C.  Brooks, 
Claudius  Dockery,  J.  W.  Graham,  J.  Bryan  Grimes, 
Walter  Murphy,  Dr.  R.  H.  Lewis,  Charles  Lee  Smith, 
Charles  Whedbee,  J.  S.  Manning,  Frank  D.  Winston, 
W.  P.  Bynum,  Julian  S.  Carr,  Josephus  Daniels,  and 
R.  D.  W.  Connor. 

Financial  Condition  No  Bar 

The  Trustees  agreed  first  and  foremost  that  the  so- 
called  financial  depression  with  consequent  tight 
money  and  high  rates  of  interest  would  not  bar  Uni- 
versity construction  work.  Irrespective  of  whether 
State  authorities  can  obtain  money  on  bonds  from 
Wall  Street,  the  money  can  and  will  be  obtained.  If 
through  the  regular  channels,  then  so  much  the  better; 
but  if  not  through  the  regular  channels  the  men  who 
are  determined  that  the  University  shall  live  up  to  the 
responsibility  of  doing  its  own  building  are  going  to 
see  that  it  gets  the  money. 

North  Carolina  bankers  and  investors,  led  by  Uni- 
versity alumni,  have  agreed  that  the  necessary  money 
can  be  found  in  the  State.  They  have  gone  further 
and  in  many  instances  have  offered  to  take  over  large 
blocks  of  the  bonds  themselves.*  After  thorough  in- 
vestigation of  this  situation  the  Building  Committee 
and  the  Executive  Committee  felt  so  sure  of  their 
ability  to  get  the  money  that  they  gave  the  word  to 
go  ahead.  What  loomed  up  therefore  in  the  minds 
of  some  persons  as  a  terrible  obstacle  has  broken 
down  before  the  inherent  financial  solvency  of  the 
State. 


Thomas  C.  Atwood  to  be  Supervising  Engineer 

The  first  step  in  the  selection  of  personnel  to  handle 
the  construction  was  the  signing  of  a  contract  with 
Thomas  C.  Atwood,  to  be  the  supervising  engineer  of 
the  entire  project,  the  executive  officer  of  the  Building 
Committee,  the  responsible  head  of  the  construction 
work. 

Mr.  Atwood  came  to  Chapel  Hill,  April  19,  estab- 
lished offices  immediately,  and  will  be  continuously 
in  Chapel  Hill  and  on  the  job  until  it  it  finished, 
giving  to  it  his  whole  time.  He  will  develop  his  own 
organization.  As  the  responsible  engineer  he  will  see 
to  the  letting  of  contracts,  will  follow  and  supervise 
the  work,  will,  through  his  organization,  act  as  in- 
specting officer,  and  will  be  the  administrative  and 
direct  head  of  the  whole  job.  His  long  record  of  suc- 
cessful construction  work  justifies  his  retention  in 
this  important  position. 

A  graduate  of  Masachusetts  Institute  of  Technology 
(1897),  he  was  associated  with  the  construction  of 
the  monumental  pumping  station  of  the  Metropoli- 
tan Park  System  of  Boston,  spent  three  years  in 
Philadelphia  on  the  design  and  construction  of  filter 
plants  and  pumping  station,  was  for  three  years  divi- 
sion engineer  in  Pittsburgh  in  charge  of  design  and 
construction  of  reservoirs,  pumping  stations,  sewers 
on  a  job  involving  $1,000,000,  and  for  seven  years  was 
designing  and  division  engineer  in  New  York,  con- 
nected with  water  work  system,  a  $10,000,000  job. 

For  two  years  in  New  Haven  he  was  in  charge  of 
the  construction  of  the  famous  Yale  Bowl.  He  built 
Camp  Merritt,  New  Jersey.  He  was  supervising  engi- 
nee  for  the  Navy  in  full  charge  of  the  construction  of 
the  Squantum  Destroyer  Plant,  Boston,  with  subsi- 
diary plants  at  Buffalo,  Providence,  and  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  a  work  involving  the  expenditure  of  $25,000,- 
000.  He  was  district  plant  engineer  for  the  Emer- 
gency Fleet  Corporation  in  charge  of  construction 
and  maintenance  of  all  shipyards,  dry  docks,  and 
marine  railways  on  the  Atlantic  coast  between  Balti- 
more and  Wilmington,  a  work  involving  the  expendi- 
ture of  $20,000,000.  He  has  been  chief  engineer  of 
the  Durham  Hosiery  Mills  in  full  charge  of  mill  and 
mill  village  construction. 

At  Chapel  Hill  his  own  organization  will  include  an 
architect,  a  water-works  engineer,  draughtsman,  in- 
spectors, and  clerks. 

Work  to  bfc  Started  Immediately 

The  first  two  projects  will  be  the  construction  of  a 
mile  and  a  quarter  of  railroad  track  leading  from  the 
Chapel  Hill  station  at  Carrboro  to  the  building  area 
on  the  campus  and  the  building  of  faculty  houses. 
Building  experts  are  agreed  that  the  cost  of  such  a 
spur  track  will  more  than  save  the  money  that  would 
otherwise  have  to  be  spent  on  hauling  material  by 
truck  or  wagon  from  the  railroad  to  the  building  sites. 
It  is  possible  that  such  a  track  will  develop  in  the 
future  into  the  regular  line  by  which  railroad  pas- 
sengers will  come  to  Chapel  Hill,  although  that  is 
looking  ahead  a  bit. 

Surveys  for  the  spur  have  already  heen  run.  The 
track  will  swing  around  southwest  of  Chapel  Hill, 
striking  the  Pittsboro  road  south  of  Cameron  Avenue

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


and  hitting  the  campus  south  and  back  of  Peabody, 
Phillips  and  Memorial  Halls  and  the  South  building. 

Twelve  new  houses  for  members  of  the  faculty  will 
be  started  immediately.  Seven  of  these  will  be  built 
by  the  University,  five  by  individual  members  of  the 
faculty;  but  all  the  building  will  be  under  the  same 
general  supervision,  a  plan  which  will  save  money  for 
the  individual  builders.  Several  of  these  houses  will 
be  located  in  vacant  lots  about  Chapel  Hill  owned  by 
the  University,  and  one  new  settlement,  somewhat  on 
the  order  of  the  new  residence  center  on  the  edge  of 
Battle  Park,  will  be  located  on  the  high  land  along 
the  Pittsboro  road. 

While  this  preliminary  work  is  going  ahead,  plans 
will  be  completed  for  the  big  pieces  of  University 
construction.  These  will  include  probably  five  dormi- 
tories, each  housing  72  students  each;  the  virtual 
doubling  of  Swain  Hall,  the  main  University  dining 
hall ;  the  erection  of  probably  three  class  room  build- 
ings, a  law  building,  a  language  building,  and  a 
combined  history,  economics,  and  social  sciences  build- 
ing ;  wide-spread  extension  of  the  heating,  water,  light, 
and  sewerage  system;  and  the  furnishing  of  all  these 
buildings  and  the  adding  of  equipment  to  old  build- 
ings. These  projects,  it  is  estimated,  will  consume  the 
$1,490,000  available. 

To  be  Finished  in  Two  Years 
Although  those  in  charge  of  the  building  know 
the  difficulties  ahead  of  them,  they  say  they  are  going 
to  finish  the  work  in  two  years.  A  great  deal  of  time 
and  thought  has  been  given  and  is  being  given  now 
to  careful  planning.  Every  effort  is  being  made  to 
see  that  no  mistakes  occur  in  the  general  scheme.  The 
best  advice  from  the  most  experienced  architects  and 
builders  is  being  sought  to  the  end  that  economy,  effi- 
ciency, and  beauty  will  all  be  written  into  the  con- 
struction work. 

But  once  the  plans  are  made,  every  pressure  will  be 
exerted  to  push  the  work  through  with  a  drive.  Finish 
the  job  in  two  years  is  the  aim  of  Building  Committee, 
Board  of  Trustees,  Executive  Committee,  President 
Chase,  Business  Manager  Woollen,  engineers,  archi- 
tects, and  builders.  They  feel  that  the  State  has  put 
the  work  squarely  up  to  them.  The  barrier  of  the 
State  Building  Commission  and  the  State  Architect 
has  been  removed;  the  job  is  the  University's.  They 
mean  to  do  it  cleanly. 


COLLIER  COBB  HOME  AND  AWAY  AGAIN 

Fresh  from  eight  months  in  the  Orient  where  he 
traveled  up  and  down  the  Pacific  investigating  har- 
bors and  shore  lines  with  respect  to  harbor  develop- 
ment, Professor  Collier  Cobb  returned  to  Chapel  Hill 
for  a  brief  visit  in  mid-April  and  was  soon  off  again, 
this  time  to  South  America  where  for  another  four 
months  he  will  pursue  the  elusive  shore  line  and 
sound  the  depths  of  commercial  possibilities  and  sub- 
equatorial    hospitality. 

As  one  of  the  first  members  of  the  University  faculty 
to  obtain  a  year's  leave  of  absence  under  the  Kenan 
Research  Traveling  Professorship,  Professor  Cobb  has 
been  able  to  continue  the  study  of  a  life-time  on  shore 
lines  with  relation  to  harbor  developmnt,  a  subject 
which  involves  also  a  general  study  of  commercial 
geography  and  the  development  of  trade  routes. 

In  previous  years  Professor  Cobb  has  studied  the 
shore  lines  and  harbors  along  the  Atlantic  coast  of 
Europe  and  along  Mediterranean  shores  and  had  also 


begun  his  study  of  the  Pacific  shore  lines.  Eight 
months  ago  he  set  out  to  complete  the  Pacific  work. 

On  the  American  side  he  worked  upward  from 
southern  California  as  far  north  as  Seward,  Alaska, 
then  jumped  the  Pacific  and  ranged  the  Asiatic  coast 
from  Bering  Sea  to  Saigon  in  French  Indo-China. 
He  investigated  every  important  harbor  within  those 
limits  oil  the  Asiatic  coast,  worked  through  all  the 
principal  harbors  of  Japan,  continued  his  work  in 
Hawaii,  and  on  his  way  home  stopped  off  to  look  over 
part  of  the  Gulf  coast  of  the  United  States,  which 
somehow  he  had  hitherto  neglected. 

From  the  decks  of  private  yatchs,  from  revenue 
cutters  and  lighthouse  tenders,  many  of  them  turned 
over  to  him  by  Japanese  friends  and  officials,  he  has 
studied  the  shifting  harbor  lines,  dug  deep  into  the 
problem  of  maintaining  harbors,  and  investigated  en- 
gineering methods  to  improve  and  maintain  the  ports. 
On  the  shore  he  has  led  camping  parties  over  the 
ground,  studying  the  changes  wrought  by  man  and 
the  probable  action  of  natural  forces  in  the  future. 

"For  the  success  of  my  work  I  am  indebted  to  the 
Japanese,"  Professor  Cobb  said.  "Japanese  friends, 
including  students  whom  I  had  taught  at  the  Uni- 
versity, and  Japanese  officials  were  universally  kind, 
courteous,  and  obliging  in  their  treatment.  Every 
possible  facility  for  investigation  was  placed  at  my 
disposal.

CAROLINA  TAKES  SERIES  FROM  VIRGINIA 


Headed  by  three  victories  over  the  University  of 
Virginia,  the  record  of  the  University  baseball  team 
to  date  is  the  most  impressive  of  any  University  team 
of  the  past  decade,  possibly  of  all  time.  It  has  won 
thus  far  eleven  games,  lost  two,  and  tied  one. 

Still  ahead  of  it  on  the  schedule  is  a  difficult  series 
of  games  and  it  is  by  no  means  certain  that  the  team 
will  finish  the  season  without  further  defeats.  To 
those  who  have  seen  Captain  Wilson's  men  in  action, 
however,  it  is  apparent  that  the  1921  team  is  one  of 
the  greatest,  maybe  the  greatest,  that  ever  repre- 
sented the  Uuniversiy. 

A  capable  staff  of  pitchers,  Wilson,  Bryson,  and 
Llewelyn,  with  some  assistance  from  Rosenian  and 
Abernethy,  is  surrounded  by  an  unusually  aggressive 
and  hard  hitting  club.  The  individual  batting  aver- 
ages are  not  high,  nor  has  the  team  made  any  un- 
usual number  of  hits  in  any  game,  but  it  has  un- 
questionably shown  the  consistent  ability  to  hit  at 
the  right  time,  to  come  from  behind  with  a  determined 
rush,  and  to  slash  through  to  victory  when  the  game 
was  hanging  on  edge. 

The  complete  record  of  college  games  thus  far 
follows : 

Carolina  7,  Davidson  3. 

Carolina  6,  A.  and  E.  4. 

Carolina  5,  Virginia  3. 

Carolina  5,  Washington  and  Lee  2. 

Carolina  3,  Lynchburg  College  3,   (10  innings). 

Carolina  4,  Maryland  1. 

Carolina  3,  Florida  1.  ^^ 

Carolina  4,  Wake  Forest  3,  (11  innings). 

Carolina  5,  Davidson  9f  (11  innings). 

Carolina  4,  Trinity  2. 

Carolina  4,  Guilford  2. 

Carolina  7,  Virginia  3. 

Carolina  3,  Virginia  2. 

Carolina  3,  A.  and  E.  9.  / 

Games  are  yet  to  be  played  with  Trinity  in  Durham, 
and  with  Wake  Forest  in  Chapel  Hill.  From  these 
two  teams  the  University  has  already  won  one  game 
each,  but  the  quality  of  college  baseball  in  North 
Carolina  is  so  high  this  year  that  both  contests 
promise  to  be  hard  fought. 

The  northern  trip,  May  2-9,  includes  games  with 
Georgetown,  Maryland,  Fordham,  New  York  Uni- 
versity, College  of  the  City  of  New  York,  Swarthmore, 
and  V.  M.  I.  Georgetown  and  Fordham  have  un- 
usually strong  teams  this  year,  and  no  team  on  this 
list  is  weak.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  University  has 
not  met  a  weak  team-this  year. 

Carolina  Wins  Three  Games  From  Virginia 

By  winning  three  times  from  Virginia  the  Univer- 
sity team  has  made  a  new  record.  It  is  the  first  time 
that  either  Carolina  or  Virginia  has  won  three  games 
in  one  year  from  the  other  team,  and  it  is  a  matter 
for  further  satisfaction  that  all  three  games  were 
clear-cut  victories. 

The  first  Virginia  game  was  played  in  Charlottes- 
ville, Carolina  wanning  5  to  3.  The  second  in  Greens- 
boro, played  before  6,000  persons,  was  won  7  to  '■'>. 
The  third  in  Chapel  Hill,  with  3,000  persons  present, 


was  won  :!  to  2.  Bryson  pitched  the  first  two  games, 
Captain  Wilson  the  last. 

A  home  run  drive  by  Lowe,  one  of  the  longest  hits 
ever  made  in  Charlottesville,  helped  materially  to  win 
the  first  Virginia  game.  Bryson  pitched  steadily,  the 
Carolina  infield  gave  him  gilt-edge  support,  and  the 
whole  team  hit  opportunely. 

In  the  second  game,  played  in  Greensboro,  Caro- 
lina led  from  the  start.  The  Tar  Heels  hit  savagely, 
fielded  cleanly  and  at  times  brilliantly,  took  advan- 
tage of  Virginia's  misplays,  and  were  aggressive  from 
start  to  finish.  Opportune  hitting  by  the  Morris 
brothers,  Llewelyn,  McLean,  Spruill,  and  McDonald 
drove  in  the  runs.  The  crowd  was  one  of  the  largest 
that  ever  saw  a  baseball  game  in  North  Carolina. 
Especially  notable  was  the  singing  and  cheering  of 
nearly  a  thousand  girls  from  Greensboro  College  for 
Women  and  the  North  Carolina  College  for  Women. 
Many  alumni  from  all  over  the  State  were  present. 

The  third  Virginia  game  was  the  closest  of  the 
three.  Virginia  led  2  to  0  until  the  eighth  inning, 
Taylor  pitching  a  splendid  game.  But  in  the  eighth 
he  walked  three  batters  and  Sweetman  came  through 
in  the  emergency  with  a  timely  hit,  tying  the  score. 
In  the  next  inning  Roy  Morris  tripled  on  the  first 
ball  and  scored  a  moment  later  on  Captain  "Lefty" 
Wilson's  long  sacrifice  fly.  Wilson  pitched  steadily 
and  fanned  ten  batters. 

Games  Won  from  State  Colleges 

Against  colleges  in  North  Carolina  the  University 
team  has  split  even  with  Davidson,  winning  7  to  3 
and  losing  9  to  5 ;  has  split  even  with  A.  and  E. 
winning  6  to  4,  and  losing  9  to  5 ;  has  won  from  Guil- 
ford 4  to  2;  from  Trinity  4  to  2 ;  and  from  Wake 
Forest  4  to  3  in  eleven  innings. 

The  first  Davidson  game  iu  Winston-Salem  was  won 
by  Lowe's  home  run  with  the  bases  full  in  the  ninth 
inning.  In  the  second  game  Davidson  won  in  the 
eleventh  inning  on  a  combination  of  Davidson  hits 
and  Tar  Heel  errors.  Davidson  was  clearly  the  better 
team  that  day,  Carolina  showing  her  poorest  form  of 
the   season. 

Unusual  interest  attached  to  the  Wake  Forest  game, 
which  Carolina  won  4  to  3  in  eleven  innings.  Wake 
Forest  has  one  of  the  best  teams  ever  developed  in 
North  Carolina  and  the  University  game  is  the  only 
one  it  has  lost.  Victory  came  when  the  game  seemed 
hist.  Two  were  out  in  the  ninth  inning  and  Wake 
Forest  was  leading  3  to  2  when  Sweetman  with  two 
strikes  mi  him  singled.  Roy  Morris  walked  and  Cap- 
tain Wilson  singled  to  center,  sending  Sweetman 
across  the  plate  with  the  tying  run.  In  the  eleventh 
Roy  Morris  crashed  out  a  teriffic  home  run  and  put 
the  game  on  ice. 

Another  home  run  by  Lowe  in  the  ninth  inning 
won  the  first  A.  and  E.  game,  (i  to  4,  after  a  bril- 
liant contest. 

The  Line-up  of  the  Team 

The  line-up  of  the  team  has  been  fairly  uniform  all 
season.  Roy  Morris,  captain  of  the  freshman  team  last 
year,  has  done  all  the  catching.  Allan  McGee  has 
been  the  substitute  catcher  and  has  also  been  used 
twice    in    the   outfield   and   twice   for   pinch   hitting.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


Captain  "Lefty"  Wilson,  Bryson,  Llewelyn,  Rose- 
man,  and  Abernethy  have  handled  all  the  pitching. 
Wilson  worked  in  the  first  Davidson,  the  first  A.  and 
E.,  the  Maryland,  Wake  Forest,  Trinity  and  third 
Virginia  games.  Bryson  pitched  the  first  two  Vir- 
ginia games,  part  of  the  A.  and  E.  game,  and  the 
second  Davidson  game.  Llewelyn  pitched  the  Wash- 
ington and  Lee,  the  Guilford,  and  part  of  the  Lynch- 
burg games.  A  sprained  ankle,  which  has  since  recov- 
ered, kept  him  out  for  a  while.  Roseman  pitched 
against  Florida  and  Abernethy  against  Lynchburg 
part  of  the  game. 

Frank  Spruill  has  played  first  in  every  game  save 
one,  and  the  rest  of  the  infiled  has  been  unchanged, 
McLean  at  second,  McDonald  at  short,  and  Fred 
Morris  at  third.  In  the  outfield  Lowe  has  been  in 
left,  Shirley  in  center,  and  Llewelyn  and  Sweetman  in 


right.  Wilson  and  Robbins  have  been  used  once  or 
twice  in  the  outfield  and  Shirley  played  once  on  first. 
The  Morris  brothers,  Bryson,  McDonald,  McGee  and 
Shirley  came  up  from  last  year's  freshman  team. 
Wilson,  Llewelyn,  Lowe,  McLean,  Robbins,  and  Sweet- 
man  are  veterans  from  last  year.  Spruill  played  on 
the  1917  freshman  team. 

Lowe's  Home  Run  Record 

An  unusual  feature  of  the  early  season  was  the 
home  run  hitting  of  Robbins  Lowe,  left  fielder  and 
football  captain  for  next  .year.  He  hit  four  home  runs 
in  the  first  four  games,  winning  the  Davidson  and 
A.  and  E.  games  with  ninth  inning  credit  clouts,  help- 
ing win  the  first  Virginia  game,  and  the  Washington 
and  Lee  game.  Roy  Morris  has  hit  two  home  rnuis, 
and  Shirley  and  Llewelyn  one  each. 


DURHAM  HIGHS  WIN  THE  AYCOCK  CUP 


The  ninth  annual  final  contest  of  the  High  School 
Debating  Union  came  to  a  successful  conclusion  in 
Chapel  Hill  on  the  night  of  April  15,  when  Ludlow 
Rogers  and  Miss  Eunice  Hutchins,  final  speakers  on 
the  negative,  representing  the  Durham  High  School, 
won  the  decision  over  James  Hendrix  and  Allen  Stain- 
back,  final  speakers  on  the  affirmative,  representing 
the  Greensboro  high  school,  on  the  query:  "Resolved, 
That  the  policy  of  collective  bargaining  through 
trade  unions  should  prevail  in  American  industry." 
This  final  debate  was  the  culmination  of  the  trian- 
gular debates  which  were  held  throughout  the  State 
on  this  query  April  1.  Two  hundred  high  schools 
took  part  in  the  triangular  debates.  Fifty  schools 
won  both  debates  and  sent  their  teams  numbering 
two  hundred  debaters  to  the  University  for  the  finals. 

The  Preliminaries 

The  debaters  and  their  teachers  and  friends  arrived 
in  Chapel  Hill  for  High  School  Week  on  April  13 
and  14.  A  drawing  for  sections  and  pairs  in  the  first 
preliminary  was  held  on  Thursday  afternoon,  April 
11.  The  first  preliminary  in  thirteen  sections  was 
held  Thursday  night,  Four  complete  debates  with 
rejoinders  were  staged  in  each  section.  One  affirma- 
tive team  and  one  negative  team  were  chosen  from 
each  section  for  the  second  preliminary.  The  schools 
which  succeeded  in  placing  their  affirmative  teams  in 
the  second  preliminary  were:  Durham,  Greensboro, 
High  Point.  Scotland  Neck,  Washington  Collegiate 
Institute,  Chapel  Hill,  Goldsboro,  Sanford,  Calypso, 
Mount  Olive,  Leaksville,  Gastonia,  Kings  Mountain. 
The  schools  which  placed  their  negative  teams  in  the 
second  preliminary  were:  Durham,  Greensboro,  High 
Point,  Scotland  Neck,  Washington  Collegiate  Insti- 
tute. Chapel  Hill,  Goldsboro,  Rock  Ridge,  Henderson, 
St.  Pauls,  Louisburg,  Concord,  and  Tarboro.  The  sec- 
ond preliminary  was  held  on  Friday  morning,  April 
15,  the  affirmative  teams  speaking  in  Di  Hall  and 
the  negative  teams  in  Phi  Hall.  The  result  of  the  sec-, 
ond  preliminary  was  that  the  Durham  negative  team 
and  the  Greensboro  affirmative  team  were  chosen  for 
the  final  debate. 

The  Final  Debate 

Memorial  Hall  was  filled  to  overflowing  for  the  final 
debate  for  the  Aycock  Memorial  Cup.     The  audience 


was  made  up  of  members  of  the  faculty,  students,  citi- 
zens of  Chapel  Hill  and  many  visitors  from  all  sec- 
tions of  the  State.  In  presiding,  Professor  W.  S. 
Bernard,  himself  a  former  Carolina  debater,  pointed 
out  the  significance  of  the  annual  contest  of  the  High 
School  Debating  Union,  and  referred  to  the  vast  edu- 
cative influence  of  these  contests  upon  the  debaters 
themselves  throughout  the  State,  upon  the  other  high 
school  students  and  upon  their  communities  in  general. 
He  spoke  of  the  importance  of  the  questions  which 
had  been  discused  by  the  High  School  Debating  Union 
in  the  past  nine  years,  as  woman  suffrage,  initiative 
and  referendum,  ship  subsidies,  enlargement  of  the 
navy,  government  ownership  of  railways,  compulsory 
arbitration  of  industrial  disputes,  compulsory  mili- 
tary training,  immigration  restriction,  and  collective 
bargaining  through  trade  unions. 

The  four  speakers  acquitted  themselves  well  both 
in  their  main  speeches  and  in  rejoinders.  They  show- 
ed a  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the  subject  and 
ability  as  debaters.  The  decision  of  the  judges, 
Messrs.  H.  M.  Wagstaff,  L.  P.  McGehee,  L.  R.  Wilson, 
George  Howe,  and  Archibald  Henderson  was  unani- 
mous for  the  negative. 

Professor  Horace  Williams,  father"  of  the  Carolina 
system  of  debates,  presented  the  Aycock  Memorial 
Cup  to  the  winning  team.  He  referred  to  the  four 
speakers  as  being  the  four  best  informed  persons  in 
North  Carolina  on  the  subject  of  collective  bargain- 
ing, and  he  referred  to  the  fact  that  nearly  eight  hun- 
dred other  debaters  were  just  about  as  well  informed 
on  the  subject  as  were  these  four  final  spakers.  He 
pointed  out  that  all  this  meant  that  North  Carolina 
was  becoming  a  critical,  discerning,  educated  State, 
the  sort  of  State  that  Aycock  had  dreamed  of. 

Professor  M.  C.  S.  Noble  delighted  the  immense 
audience  with  his  happy  presentation  of  cups  and 
medals  to  the  winners  in  the  inter-scholastic  track 
meet.

High  School  Week 
High  School  Week  has  come  to  be  one  of  the  best 
established  institutions  in  the  University.  The  visi- 
tors from  the  high  schools  always  receive  a  royal  wel- 
come on  the  Hill.  Xo  other  event,  not  even  com- 
mencement, brings  out  a  larger  crowd  than  does  the 
final  debate  each  year  for  the  Ayeoek  Memorial  Cup. 
Undoubtedly  through  these  annual  visits  of  the  high 
school  debaters  and  athletes  the  University  and  the 
high  schools  are  brought  into  much  closer  and  very 
sympathetic  relationship. 


CHAPEL  HILL  WINS  TRACK  MEET 

The  biggest  and  most  succesful  inter-scholastic 
track  meet  ever  held  in  North  Carolina  was  staged 
on  Emerson  Field  on  April  15.  One  hundred  and 
twenty-five  athletes  representing  fifteen  schools  took 
part  in  the  meet.  The  Chapel  Hill  high  school  made 
the  highest  score  and  so  won  the  award  of  the  trophy 
cup. 

The  score  of  the  meet  was  as  follows:  Chapel  Hill

ter mile  record.  Bell,  of  Greensboro,  made  a  new 
record  for  the  mile.'  Daniels,  of  Greensboro,  blasted 
the  State  record  for  the  discus.  In  the  relay  race 
Burlington  hung  up  a  new  record.  Greensboro  was 
supreme  on  the  track  while  in  the  field  events  Chapel 
Hill  won  out.

OAK  RIDGE  AND  RAEFORD  WIN 

In  the  sixth  annual  inter-scholastic  tennis  tourna- 
ment held  at  Chapel  Hill  during  High  School  Week, 
April  14  and  15,  Oak  Ridge  Institute  won  the 
doubles  and  the  Raeford  high  school  won  the  singles. 
The  inter-scholastic  tennis  tournament  this  year  was 
the  fastest  which,  has  yet  been  staged  in  the  State. 
Oak  Ridge  won  the  award  of  a  trophy  cup  as  did 
Raeford  also.  The  schools  which  took  part  in  the 
tournament  were:  Chapel  Hill.  Wilmington.  Hills- 
boro.  Oak  Ridge.  Burlington,  Raeford.  Greensboro, 
Canton.  Durham,  Wilson  and  Lenoir. 


TRACK  TEAM  LOSES  TO  VIRGINIA 

The  University  track  team  has  won  one  meet  and 
lost  one.  It  won  from  Trinity  77  to  49  and  lost  to 
Virginia  by  the  overwhelming  score  of  117  to  9. 

Interest  in  track  has  been  less  than  in  several  years. 
The  lack  of  active  competition  in  North  Carolina  has 
hurt  and  also  the  lack  of  a  regular  coach.  Dr.  Kent 
Brown  started  out  with  the  squad  this  year  and  was 
doing  well  when  he  suffered  an  attack  of  appendicitis 
and  had  to  resign.  Since  his  illness  Oliver  Rand,  a 
former  member  of  the  track  team,  has  been  in  charge. 

The  material  has  not  been  impressive  and  has  suffer- 
ed from  the  general  apathy  toward  track  athletics. 
Tn  the  two  meets  Sinclair  and  Fulton  were  used  in  the 
sprints;  Captain  Royall,  Harden,  and  Fulton  in  the 
quarter:  Shepard  and  Yates  in  the  half:  Hanson 
and  Murchison  in  the  mile;  Ranson  and  Smith  in  the 
two-mile;  Parker,  Carmichael  and  Yates  in  the  hur- 
dles; and  Carmichael  and  Ross  in  the  jumps. 

In  the  shot  put.  discus,  and  javelin  Norris,  llalsey. 
and  Poindexter  have  been  used,  and  in  the  pole  vault 
Smiley  and  Fischel. 

The  State  meet  will  be  held  on  Emerson  Field.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


STRONG  SENTIMENT  FOR  WOMAN'S  BUILDING 


The  appropriation  of  $1,490,000  for  buildings  and 
permanent  improvements  at  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  has  raised  the  question  already  raised  by  Mr. 
William  E.  Horner  in  the  Carolina  Magazine  and  by 
Miss  Nell  Battle  Lewis  in  the  Raleigh  News  and  Ob- 
server as  to  the  possibility  and  desirability  of  erecting 
a  woman's  building  at  Chapel  Hill  for  the  increasing 
number  of  women  students  asking  for  admission  into 
the  upper  academic  classes  and  professional  schools 
of  the  University.  In  the  summary  of  opinion  gathered 
by  Mr.  Horner  from  the  faculty  and  the  men  and 
women  students,  which  range  all  the  way  up  from 
Horace  Williams  down  to  the  writer  of  this  article, 
of  the  twenty-one  interviewed  one  student  was  oppos- 
ed to  co-education,  one  professor  regretted  that  the 
women  want  co-education,  and  the  nineteen  others 
were  either  unqualifiedly  in  favor  of  co-education  or 
in  favor  of  co-education  in  the  upper  classes,  gradu- 
ate, and  professional  schools.  Of  these  same  twenty- 
one,  one  was  opposed  to  a  woman's  building  and  two 
were  opposed  to  a  woman's  building  at  the  present 
time,  and  eighteen  were  in  favor  of  a  woman's  build- 
ing without  qualification  as  to  time. 

In  Miss  Nell  Lewis'  interesting  survey  of  the  situ- 
ation is  an  interview  with  Mrs.  Marvin  Hendrix  Stacy, 
advisor  of  women,  as  follows:  "It  is  harder  to  get 
rooms  for  girls  than  for  boys.  People  in  town  don 't 
want  girls  as  they  don't  want  the  responsibility  of 
supervising  them.  We  have  reached  the  limit.  We 
have  continued  to  find  room  for  one  more  until  there 
is  not  room  for  one  more.  ...  A  woman's  build- 
ing is  necessary  for  proper  supervision  and  for  the 
decent  accommodation  of  those  already  here."  Miss 
Battle  is  very  non-partisan  and  reportorial  in  her 
lively  sketch  but  yet  the  sheer  facts  she  assembled 
have  woman's  building  written  all  over  them.  The 
logic  of  Miss  Lewis'  facts  and  the  gist  of  Mrs.  Stacy's 
opinion  is  either  to  close  the  doors  of  the  Univer- 
sity to  women  or  open  the  doors  of  a  woman 's  build- 
ing to  them.  Even  those  who  oppose  co-education  as 
a  theory  admit  the  imperative  need  of  a  woman's 
building  as  a  fact.  The  woman's  building  is  inevit- 
able The  question  is  shall  it  come  in  the  two  year 
program,  the  four  year  program,  or  the  six  year  pro- 
gram. A  $200,000  woman's  building  was  in  the  pro- 
posed six  year  program  but  as  the  six  year  plan  was 
reduced  to  a  two  year  plan  the  question  is  shall  a 
woman's  building  be  included  in  the  two  year  plan. 

The  Association  of  Women  Graduates  of  Class  A 
Colleges  in  a  meeting  in  Charlotte  discussed,  under  the 
leadership  of  Mrs.  C.  W.  Tillett.  Jr.,  the  need  of  a 
woman's  building  at  the  University.  The  Woman's 
Association  of  the  University  passed  a  resolution  re- 
spectfully memorializing  the  Building  Commission  of 
the  University  in  the  interests  of  a  woman's  building. 
Before  the  legislature  had  made  the  appropriation  of 
$1,490,000  for  buildings  and  consequently  before  the 
question  of  a  woman's  building  took  its  present  turn, 
Judge  Francis  D.  Winston,  champion  of  a  woman's 
buildinc,  proposed  the  following  resolution  which  was 
adopted  at  the  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation at  commencement,  1920:  "Whereas  the  need 
for  a  separate  woman's  building  on  the  campus  is 
made  necessary  by  the  increased  attendance  of  women 
at  Ihn  University  be  it  resolved  that  a  committee  of  the 


alumni  be  appointed  to  lay  before  the  approaching 
Legislature  the  need  for  such  a  building  and  to  recom- 
mend a  special  appropriation  of  not  less  than  Five 
Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($500,000.00)  for  erect- 
ing the  same.  The  said  appropriation  to  be  entirely 
independent  of  any  other  appropriation  that  may  be 
contemplated. ' ' 

Judge  Winston's  Letter  follows: 

Editor,  The  Review: 

I  am  much  interested  in  having  a  separate  building  at  the 
University  for  the  women  who  attend  the  institution.  I 
very  greatly  hoped  that  some  patriotic  Legislator  would  intro- 
duce, during  the  late  General  Assembly,  a  bill  carrying  an 
appropriation  for  erecting  this  much  needed  building.  The 
building  should  contain,  of  course,  the  necessary  dormitories 
nnd  in  addition  to  this  there  should  be  a  gymnasium  and  re- 
ceiving parlor.  There  should  also  be  a  reading  room  and 
general  reception  rooms.  In  fact  the  building  should  be  the 
most  complete  and  up-to-date  woman  's  building  in  America  no 
matter  what  it  may  cost.  I  take  pleasure  in  enclosing  you  a 
copy   of   the   resolution   you   refer   to. 

Sincerely  yours, 

Windsor,  April  30,  1921.  Francis  T>.  Winston,  '79. 

The  opinion  of  the  University  alumnae  is  repre- 
sented in  the  following  letters : 

Editor,  The  Review: 

In  her  plans  for  building  during  the  next  two  years,  I  hope 
the  University  will  not  be  forgetful  of  the  many  women  of 
the  State  who  would  like  to  study  there.  As  I  recall  my  days 
of  delightful  work  in  the  University,  I.  can  but  regret  that 
so  far  its  doors  have,  of  necessity,  been  only  partially  open 
to  women  and  that  they  have  had  to  eat,  as  it  were,  of  the 
crumbs  falling  from  the  rich  man's  table!  With  an  ever  in- 
creasing number  of  girls  eager  for  higher  education  and  of 
young  women  doing  advanced  work  along  many  lines,  it  be- 
comes evident  that  the  University  should  do  its  part  in  the 
training  of  these  citizens.  The  opportunities  she  presents  to 
them  will  be  embraced  eagerly  and  a  finer  service  rendered 
the  State  because  of  these. 

With  all  good  wishes  for  our  Alma  Mater,  I  am 
Sincerely  yours, 

Salismury,  April  25,  1921.  Eleanor  Watson,  '16. 

Editor,  The  Review: 

Now  that  the  University  is  about  to  enter  upon  a  period  of 
prosperity  and  of  renewed  activity  in  building,  it  is  time  that, 
she  prepare  some  place  for  the  women  students  who  come  into 
her  ranks.  Being  the  only  State  institution  at  which  the  high 
standard  of  education  given  at  the  University  can  be  found  in 
North  Carolina,  it  is  entirely  natural  that  the  girls  and  women 
of  this  State  should  desire  to  have  the  benefit  of  this  higher 
training.  Since  they  have  become  an  increasingly  large  part 
of  the  student  body,  it  is  necessary  that  provision  be  made  for 
their  living  conditions. 

As  things  are,  a  girl  leaving  a  college  where  she  has  enjoyed 
all  the  advantages  of  real  social  life  and  of  all  college  activi- 
ties, comes  to  take  her  work  as  a  junior  or  senior  here.  She 
finds  herself  forced  to  live  in  a  boarding  house,  separated  per- 
haps from  her  friends,  and  deprived  of  any  chance  to  partici- 
pate in  campus  activities.  She  can  use  the  library,  she  can 
take  part  in  dramatics,  she  can  go  to  classes;  she  has  no  pro- 
vision made  for  her  gymnastic  or  athletic  training,  she  has  no

tenter  for  her  college  life.  Thus,  getting  advanced  training 
intellectually,  she  misses  her  development  as  a  leader  among 
her  associates. 

Since  the  State  has  opened  the  doors  of  the  University  to 
women,  it  is  right  that  they  should  enjoy  the  privileges  common 
to  all  students.  This  they  cannot  do  unless  proper  equipment 
be  provided  for  them.  It  is  important  that  those  in  charge  of 
the  building  program  for  the  University  bear  this  fact  in  mind. 
Sincerely  yours, 

Chapel  Hill,  April  28,  1921.  Louisa  Reid,  '18. 

In  1882  when  two  women  from  the  public  schools 
of  Fayetteville.  Miss  Etta  May  Troy  and  Miss  Fannie 
Watson,  followed  the  astounding  suggestion  of  their 
superintendent  and  applied  for  admission  into  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  the  University  denied 
them  entrance.  In  those  days  graduates  of  private 
preparatory  schools  were  admitted  on  certificate  but 
graduates  of  the  infant  public  schools  were  admitted 
on  examination.  From  the  Fayetteville  public  schools 
in  1881  came  two  boys,  in  1882  one  boy  and  two  girls. 
The  boys,  were  admitted  and  graduated  with  high 
and  highest  honors.  The  two  girls  made  higher  grades 
on  the  entrance  examinations  than  the  boys.  The  girls 
came  in  the  words  of  their  veteran  superintendent 
"asking  no  quarter  on  account  of  age,  sex,  or  previ- 
ous condition  of  servitude;"  they  were  sent  back  to 
the  bonnie  braes  of  Cumberland  because  they  were 
girls.  The  girls  of  1882  were  allowed  to  look  into  the 
promised  land  but  not  to  enter.  In  1897  girls,  five 
of  them,  Dixie  Bryant,  Sallie  Stockard,  Cecyce  Dodd, 
Mary  MacRae,  and  -Julie  Watkins,  were  admitted  into 
the  University  for  graduate  study.  Since  1897  they 
have  entered  the  junior  and  senior  classes  and  the 
professional  schools  of  law,  medicine,  pharmacy,  engi- 
neering, education,  and  public  welfare.  Girls  whose 
homes  are  in  Chapel  Hill  can  enter  the  freshman  and 
sophomore  classes.  Today  there  are  sixty-one  women 
students  in  the  University.  Last  year  two  of  the 
initiates  into  Phi  Beta  Kappa  were  Miss  Louise 
Yen  able  and  Miss  Mary  Cobb.  This  year  the  only 
member  of  the  junior  class  to  make  all  "ones"  the 
first  quarter  was  Miss  Mary  Yellott.  The  "co-eds" 
stand  especially  high  in  scholarship  and  dramatics 
but  are  proficient  in  tennis  and  basketball  and  through 
their  Women's  Asociation  are  a  vital  governmental 
and  social  part  of  campus  life.  Men  students,  here  and 
there,  affect  to  scorn  the  presence  of  the  women  stu- 
dents but  there 'is  not.  one  who  would  not  miss  the 
charm  and  tone  which  they  unconsciously  lend  to  the 
campus.  The  women  ask  nothing  but  an  equal  chance 
and  they  feel  that  an  equal  chance  means  a  woman's 
building.  They  look  to  the  Building  Commision  to 
do  what  they  know  it  will  do  as  soon  as  their  minimum 
funds  for  maximum  needs  permit:  build  a  woman's 
building  at  their  Universitv  for  the  women  of  the 
State. 

Concludes  Miss  Xcll  Lewis'  whole  papre  article  in 
the  Nncs  and  Observer:  "However  diverse  may  be 
the  opinions  rccrardimr  the  admission  of  women  to  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  it  is  an  established  cer- 
tainty in  the  <jood  year  1921  that  by  the  increasing 
number  of  women  coming  to  the  institution  in  quest 
of  educational  advantages  to  be  obtained  by  them  no- 
where else  in  the  State,  in  co-education  Hie  University 
is  confronted  not  with  a  theory,  but  with  a  fact." 

In  1882  the  two  <rirls  from  the  Fayetteville  public 
schools  confronted  the  University  with  a  theory.  To- 
dav  the  sixtv-one  girls  from  all  over  the  Union  con- 


front the  University  with  a  fact,  the  fact  of  the  press- 
ing need  of  a  woman's  building.  In  1882  the  Uni- 
versity denied  them  entrance  in  theory.  In  1921  the 
lack  of  a  woman's  building  denies  them  entrance  in 
fact.  The  University  administration,  alumni,  faculty, 
and  students  are  committed,  in  the  democratic  idea 
of  equal  public,  education,  to  the  squaring  of  its  fact 
of  non-provision  with  its  theory  of  admission.

NORTH  CAROLINA'S  GREATER  UNIVERSITY 

The  Christian  Advocate,  general  organ  of  the  Meth- 
odist Episcopal  Church,  South,  published  at  Nash- 
ville, Tenn.,  in  its  issue  of  April  22  contains  the  fol- 
lowing editorial,  under  the  heading,  "North  Caro- 
lina's Greater  University": 

All  who  read  the  newspapers  and  leading  news 
journals  know  of  the  marked  progress  North  Carolina 
has  made  in  education  in  the  last  twenty  years.  But 
the  growth  in  school  facilities  has  not  been  near  equal 
to  the  enlarged  interest  in  education.  The  colleges 
and  the  University  have  not  been  able  to  accommodate 
all  who  have  sought  higher  education.  No  question  in 
the  recent  State  legislature,  unless  it  was  the  bill  pass- 
ed providing  a  $50,000,000  bond  issue  for  good  roads, 
elicited  more  interest  than  the  matter  of  making  ap- 
propriations for  State  educational  institutions.  And 
the  spirit  of  progress,  so  manifest  in  many  ways  in 
North  Carolina,  is  shown  in  the  liberal  appropriations 
made.  State  educational  and  benevolent  institutions, 
in  addition  to  adequate  maintenance  funds,  were  given 
a  total  of  $6,745,000  for  permanent  improvements.  To 
the  University  of  North  Carolina,  located  at  Chapel 
Hill,  $1,490,000  was  given  for  permanent  improve- 
ments for  the  next  two  years  and  $925,000  as  a  two 
year  maintenance  fund.  A  building  program  will  be 
put  on  at  once.  Tentative  plans  are  said  to  call  for  the 
erection  of  five  dormitories,  two  classroom  buildings, 
a  law  building,  eight  new  faculty  houses,  increased 
dining  room  facilities  and  the  extension  of  lighting, 
heating,  water,  and  sewerage  systems.  At  no  other 
time  in  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-six  years  of  its 
history  has  this  great  old  University  received  such  a 
boost.  As  a  native  of  North  Carolina  and  an  alumnus 
of  the  University,  we  are  proud  of  the  past  record 
of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  and  are  glad  that 
its  usefulness  is  to  be  so  greatly  enlarged. 


The  April  number  of  the  Journal  of  Industrial  and 
Engineering  CJiemistry  contains  an  article  by  L.  G. 
Marsh.  A.B.,  now  at  the  Pittsburg  Experiment  Station 
of  the  Bureau  of  Mines.  The  article  is  entitled  Possi- 
ble Uses  of  Corncob  Cellulose  in  the  Explosives  In- 
dustry and  the  following  conclusions  are  reached: 
"It  appears  that  the  only  use  for  corncob  celllnlose  in 
the  explosive  industry  at  the  present  time  is  as  a  car- 
bonaceous absorbent  for  liquid  ingredients,  such  as 
nitroglycerin,  in  the  manufacture  of  dynamite.  For 
that  use  it  must  compete  with  such  materials  as  wood 
pulp,  sawdust,  cornmeal,  charcoal,  peanut  hulls,  rich 
hulls,  and  similar  materials,  all  of  which  have  prop- 
erties which  are  advantageous  for  the  manufacture 
of  special  grades  of  dynamite."

TEN  CLASSES  WILL  HOLD  REUNIONS 


There  will  be  big  doings  in  Chapel  Hill  on  Alumni 
Day.  Tuesday,  June  14.  Ten  classes  ranging-  from  the 
sixty-year  reunion  class,  1861,  to  the  baby  reunion 
class,  1920,  are  making  their  plans  to  move  on  Chapel 
Hill  in  force.  It  is  to  be  remembered  that  Alumni 
Day  is  the  day  of  all  days  for  the  alumni  and  that 
for  the  Old  Grad  on  this  day  nothing  counts  except 
that  he  walk  again  with  associates  of  his  youth  in 
the  familiar  scenes  of  Chapel  Hill.  Advance  in- 
formation received  by  class  officers,  and  committees, 
and  by  the  central  reunion  committee  at  the  Univer- 
sity,  is  to  the  effect  that  there  will  be  a  record-break- 
ing attendance  of  alumni  on  the  Hill  for  Alumni 
Day. 

On  the  morning  of  Alumni  Day  at  10:45  o'clock 
a  business  meeting  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
will  be  held  in  Gerrard  Hall.  The  Alumni  Luncheon 
will  be  served  at  1 :00  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  in  Swain 
Hall.  Alumni  baseball  games  will  be  staged  at  4  :30 
o'clock  on  Emerson  Field.  Class  get-together  sup- 
pers are  on  the  program  at  6:30  o'clock.  The  Board 
of  Trustees  will  hold  their  annual  meeting  at  7:30 
o'clock.  The  Carolina  Playmakers  will  present  a 
series  of  folk  plays  in  honor  of  the  alumni  at  8 :00 
o'clock.  The  President  and  faculty  will  give  a  recep- 
tion in  honor  of  the  graduating  class  at  10:00  o'clock. 
At  various  times  through  the  program  of  Alumni 
Day  special  class  reunion  features  will  be  interspersed. 

General  alumni  headquarters  will  be  established  at 
the  University  Inn  and  alumni  should  register  there 
upon  arrival.  Reservations  have  been  made  for  the 
various  classes  as  follows :  1861,  Infirmarv ;  1871,  In- 
firmary; 1881,  Old  East;  1891,  Old  East;  1896,  Old

Old  Pals,  take  up  your  pencils  and  make  a  circle 
around  June  14,  on  your  calendar.  You  do  not  need 
what  you  make  at  your  business  that  day  and  the 
University  needs  you. 

How  are  you  to  know  the  ways  in  which  you  might

191  l's  Ten-Year  Come-Back 

Listen,  all  members  of  the  class  of  1911  (whether 
graduates  or  not),  we  have  had  out  a  promise  to  one 
another  for  five  years  that  we  would  all  meet  to- 
gether again  under  the  "Classic  Shades"  at  this 
commencement.    This  was  a  sacred  promise  and  noth- 


ing less  than  your  attendance  will  discharge  the  obli- 
gation it  contains. 

Tuesday,  June  14,  is  Alumni  Day,  and  it  is  on  the 
afternoon  of  that  day  that  old  1911  will  pull  off  a 
party  that  will  contain  features  fully  satisfving  to 
all.  '  Notify  "Professor"  W.  C.  George  at  Chapel 
Hill  that  you  will  be  present.  He  will  have  charge 
of  the  local  arrangements,  and  he  must  know  how 
many  to  prepare  for.  Make  any  suggestions  you  have 
to  Jack  Watters  and  George  Graham.  They  will  con- 
stitute the  field  committee  on  ways  and  means.  And 
I  hereby  appoint  every  1911  man  a  committee  to  see 
that  every  other  1911  man  attends. 

Boys,  it  will  be  worth  your  while.  Time  and 
worldly  pursuits  forbid  going  into  full  detail  now.  I 
know  that  the  purchasing  of  steers  or  white  elephants 
and  the  marrying  of  wives  have  gone  on  unabated, 
but  we  must  attend  the  feast.  Abandon  the  exchanges 
for  a  season,  and  bring  along  your  impedimenta.  The 
Vance  Building  has  been  reserved  for  us,  and  it  will 
be  our  privilege  and  our  duty  to  make  its  sacred  pre- 
cincts resound  with  yells  suggestive  of  the  past  and 
prophetic  of  the  future. 

Let  me  say,  too,  that  great  profit  will  be  obtained 
from  an  exchange  of  experiences  our  several  mem- 
bers have  had  within  the  last  ten  years.  Some  of  our 
gang  have  developed  into  marvels.  Why,  Bill  Joy- 
ner  will  lead  us  into  the  light  of  how  to  connect  up 
with  a  lucrative  African  trade.  Dean  Taylor  will 
demonstrate  how  to  move  from  the  quiet  life  of  a  stu- 
dious youth  to  the  active  inconsistent  life  of  a  pol- 
itician and  statesman  at  middle  age.  And  Ike  Moser 
will  exemplify  how  one  passes  from  self-asserting  in- 
dependence to  domestic  docility  and  meekness.  Others 
will  be  different,  but  equally  as  informing. 

Our  reunion  cannot  be  complete  nor  our  happiness 
full  without  you.     Come.       It  will  likely  be  a  long 
time  between  drinks  after  this. 
Goldsboro,  X.  C.  W.  A.  Dees,  '11. 

To  Comrades  of  '16 

I  think  the  greatest  service  every  member  of  our 
class  can  render  to  himself  and  to  the  University  is 
to  surmount  every  difficulty  that  stands  in  his  way, 
and  come  to  Chapel  Hill  for  the  reiuiion.  Every- 
thing that  we  intend  to  do  as  a  class  waits  upon  this 
essential  condition.  Loyalty  to  the  class  and  to  the 
spirit  which  has  inspired  us  for  nearly  ten  years  is 
the  chief  essential.  If  we  all  come  together,  talk  over 
our  various  experiences  together,  have  a  good  time  to- 
gether, and  rededicate  ourselves  to  the  various  pur- 
poses we  are  carrying  out,  success  in  these  matters 
will  be  the  natural  result. 

I  realize  as  much  as  any  man  in  the  class  the  press 
of  personal  business  that  stands  in  the  way  of  our 
meeting  together  100  per  cent  strong,  but  I  am  go- 
ing to  Chapel  Hill  for  the  reunion,  and  I  believe  every 
other  member  of  the  class  can  do  the  same  thing. 
The  chief  idea  is  that  the  class  of  '16  is  going  to  get 
together  on  its  old  stamping  ground  and  get  back 
in  touch  with  its  intellectual  and  spiritual  home. 

I  have  been  to  Chapel  Hill  several  times  since  my 
graduation,  and  while  I  found  most  of  the  profes- 
sors there,  I  have  found  a  newer  generation  of  boys

oecuping  our  old  haunts.  I  have  missed  the  fares 
and  comradeship  of  my  own  college  generation,  and 
I  know  thai  the  chief  thing  needful  now  is  to  get  all 
of  the  old  boys  back,  invoke  the  old  spirit  of  loyalty 
and  enthusiasm,  and  then  naturally  put  through  our 
part  of  the  Graham  memorial  fund  and  such  other 
objects  as  we  desire  to  achieve  as  a  loyal  body  of 
University  men.

THE  ALUMNI  LUNCHEON 

The  alumni  luncheon  will  be  held  in  Swain  Hall 
at  1:00  P.M.  on  Alumni  Day,  Tuesday.  .Tune  14.  The 
luncheon  promises  to  lie  a  most  interesting  occasion. 
Ladies  are  invited.  Tickets  can  be  secured  from  E. 
R.  Rankin,  Secretary.    The  price  per  tiekel  is  $1.50. 


Dr.  J.  F.  Steiner,  professor  in  the  school  of  Public 
Welfare  of  the  University,  is  contributing  three  note- 
worthy articles  in  (he  American  Journal  of  Sociology 
on  the  subject  of  Education  for  Social  Work.  In  the 
current  March  number  lie  discusses  the  ease  method 
and  law  in  social  work.  These  articles  have  received 
high  commendation  from  various  academic  critics. 


Hayne  Davis,  '88,  student  of  international  relations 
and  advocate  as  early  as  1904  of  a  Union  of  Nations  in 
the  likeness  of  the  American  Union  of  States,  is  the 
author  of  a  series  of  five  articles  now  appearing  in 
The  Independent  (April  2,  9  and  16,  with  others  to 
follow)  dealing  with  the  League  of  Nations  and  Amer- 
ica's relation  to  it  in  the  settlement  of  international 
policies.  In  commenting  upon  the  series,  the  editors 
of  Tin  Independent  say  that  "what  this  author  fore- 
saw, and  foreshadowed  in  the  columns  of  The  Indepen- 
dent in  the  years  1904-1908,  took  definite  and  legal 
shape  at  the  Peace  Conference  of  Versailles  in  1919, 
when  the  Covenant  of  the  League  of  Nations  was  ap- 
proved by  the  representative  of  the  nations  assembled 
at  that  historic  spot,  to  put  an  end  to  the  World  War 
and  to  prepare  for  a  new  era  of  peace  and  justice." 

The  specific  objects  of  the  series  are:  (1)  To  prop- 
erly relate  the  Covenant  of  the  League  to  the  Articles 
of  Confederation  and  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States;  (2)  to  set  forth  the  basis  of  any  international 
union  that  can  hope  to  endure;  (3)  to  indicate  the 
true  relation  of  national  armament  to  national  secu- 
rity, international  law  and  justice;  (4)  to  point  out 
some  of  the  dangers  in  the  path  of  any  Assiciation  or 
League  of  Nations  and  the  way  of  escape  therefrom ; 
and  (5  i  to  show  the  order  or  steps  of  progress  from  a 
union  however  imperfect  to  one  that  is  more  perfect 
and  capable  of  establishing  justice  and  peace,  even  as 
our  own  Union  of  States  grew  gradually  into  its  pres- 
ent excellent  form. 


Two  publications  recently  issued  by  the  Bureau  of 
Extension  are:  (1)  Library  Extension  Service,  (Ex- 
tension Leaflet,  Vol.  IV,  No.  4)  by  Louis  R.  Wilson, 
'99,  in  which  the  loan  service  of  the  University  Library 
to  residents  of  the  State  is  described;  and  (2)  A 
Study  Course  in  Modern  Drama  (Extension  Leaflet, 
Vol.  IV,  No.  7)  by  Elizabeth  A.  Lay,  '18.  As  indi- 
cated by  the  title,  Miss  Lay's  study  comprises  a  pro- 
gram for  the  use  of  North  Carolina  Club  women  who 
in  recent  years  have  been  pursuing  definite  courses  of 
study  in  co-operation  with  the  Women's  Clubs  Divi- 
sion of  the  Bureau.  Professor  Frederick  H.  Koch  con- 
tributes an  introduction  in  which  he  emphasizes  the 
rich  materials  possessed  by  North  Carolina  for  the 
development  of  a  distinctive  community  drama. 


In  the  April  issue  of  the  Journal  of  the  American 
Chemical  Society  is  published  an  article  by  Dr.  A.  S. 
Wheeler  and  Mr.  S.  C.  Smith,  entitled  "Ethers  De- 
rived from  the  Addition  Products  of  the  Nitroanilines 
and  Chloral."  This  research  was  developed  by  solv- 
ing the  puzzle  of  an  unexpected  result  and  is  an  illus- 
tration of  how  new  fields  are  discovered  by  studying 
out  what  might  be  called  accidental  observations.  The 
ethers  described  were  obtained  in  splendid  crytalline 
forms  and  the  paper  is  illustrated  by  a  photomicro- 
graph by  Mr.  Walter  B.  Junes  of  the  department  of 
geology.  


The  sixth  and  seventh  articles  on  the  nitrotoluenes 

coming  from  the  chemical  laboratory  of  the  University 
appear  in  the  April  number  of  the  Journal  of  Indus- 
trial ami  Engineering  Chemistry.  These  articles,  by 
Dr  J.  M.  Bell  and  Messrs.  E.  B.  Cordon  (B.  S. 
Chem..  1920)  anfl  P.  If.  Spry  (B.  S.  Chem,  1920) 
continue  the  series  dealing  with  the  freezing  points 
and  thermal  properties  of  the  nitrotoluenes,  and  were 
originally  undertaken  at  the  request  of  the  National 
Research  Council

WHAT  AN  ALUMNI  OFFICE  SHOULD  DO 

When  the  Association  of  Alumni  Secretaries  met 
at  the  University  of  Michigan  last  May  to  consider 
questions  of  interest  to  alumni  work  in  universities 
all  over  the  land,  A.  G.  Pierrot,  of  the  University  of 
Chicago,  presented  an  exhaustive  report  of  investiga- 
tions he  had  made  in  regard  to  what  the  alumni  offices 
of  the  country  are  doing  and  what  they  should  do. 
From  questionaires  from  many  leading  institutions  he 
made  up  a  list  of  the  important  things  that  seemed  to 
be  generally  considered  as  necessary  for  an  alumni 
office.  These  he  presented  in  concise  form  and  The 
Review  is  presenting  a  part  of  his  report  herewith,  in 
order  that  the  alumni  may  form  an  idea  of  what  a 
scope  alumni  work  properly  operated  can  have.  Mr. 
Pierrot  says  the  popular  consensus  of  opinion  is  that 
an  alumni  organization  should  have : 

I.  Alumni  Organization' 

Maintain   an   adequately   equipped   office   and   clerical   force. 

Support   a   full  time   secretary.

catalogue  card —  by  personal  correspondence  and  general 
atmosphere. 

II.  Alumni  Publications

that  will  serve  as  the  general  official  alumni  medium.

III.     Alumni  Activities

Furnish  reliable   alumni  references. 

Collect  and  keep  historical  and  biographical  material  and 
records. 

IV.     Institutional  and  Educational  Interest 

Keep  alumni  in  close  and  sympathetic  touch  with  the  school,

Keep  the  university  in  touch  with  the  alumni — getting  alumni

Enable  the  institution  to  know  how  its  alumni — its  "pro-

affairs  of  life.

THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  OF  NORTH  CAROLINA 

Has  shown  its  faith  in  Alma  Mater  by  underwriting  a  new  building  pro- 
gram for  1921-23  of  $1,490,000  and  increasing  the  maintenance  fund 
for  the  biennium  from  $430,000  to  $925,000. 

THOUSANDS  OF  NORTH  CAROLINIANS 

Having  no  connection  with  Alma  Mater,  but  believing  in  her  as  a  power 
for  the  upbuilding  of  the  State,  joined  in  the  campaign  to  strengthen  her 
arm. 

DO  YOU  HAVE  A  SIMILAR  FAITH? 

If  so,  show  it  (according  to  St.  James)  by  Works!  There  are  a  hundred 
ways  in  which  you  can  broaden  and  deepen  Alma  Mater's  life.

WITH  THE  CLASSES 

1861 

— Major  Chas.  M.  Stedman  writes  to  his 
classmates :  ' '  There  is  to  be  a  reunion 
of  the  class  of  '61  at  Chapel  Hill  on 
.June  12-l."i.  When  my  attention  was 
called  to  this  fact  the  memories  of  the 
days  when  we  were  there  together 
crowded  thick  and  fast  upon  me.  Our 
daily  intercourse  at  our  recitations,  our 
debates  at  the  meetings  of  our  society, 
our  romps  on  the  campus,  our  afternoon 
strolls  in  the  woods  round  and  about  our 
dear  old  University,  all  are  as  vivid  be- 
fore me  as  if  it  were  only  yesterday. 

' '  It  has  been  a  long  time  but  we  have 
not  been  forgotten.  The  faculty  of  the 
University  asks  all  members  of  our  class 
to  meet  again  at  the  coming  commence- 
ment in  June.  Let  every  one  of  us  be 
present,  if  possible.  It  will  bring  great 
delight  and  happiness  to  me  to  see  the 
members  of  '61  again  on  the  campus. ' '

— Lloyd  M.  Ross  has  returned  from  Gas 
tonia,  where  he  was  county  engineer  for 
Gaston  County,  to  Charlotte,  where  he  is 
now  engineer  of  the  Mecklenburg  County 
Highway  Commission.  Concerning  his 
appointment  the  Charlotte  Observer  re- 
cently said  editorially: 

"We  take  it  that  the  county  will  give 
approval  to  the  road  board's  selection  of 
the  engineer  who  is  to  lay  out  the  high- 
way work  under  the  new  regime.  Per- 
haps the  best  demonstration  of  Mr. 
Lloyd  Ross'  competency  is  established 
in  the  highway  he  planned  from  Char- 
lotte through  Camp  Greene  to  the  town- 
ship line.  That  road  was  built  for  ser- 
vice and  will  be  good  50  years  hence. 
Mr.  Ross  received  his  instruction  at  the 
State  University  and  has  since  managed 
road  and  street  jobs,  which  proves  that 
his  education  in  road  engineering  was  of 
the  finished  sort.  It  is  safe  to  say  that 
there  will  be  no  complaints  in  future 
about  the  road  work  in  this  county  on 
the  score  of  engineering  responsibility. ' '

DO  you  play  Chin  Golf?    It  is  the 
latest  popular  game.  Play  it  Win- 
ter or  Summer;  at  home  or  at  your  club. 

Chin  Golf  is  not  a  19th  hole  propo- 
sition— nothing  like  stove  baseball  or 
conversational  tennis,  but  a  regular 
indoor  sport. 

Any  man  who  shaves  himself  can 
play  it.  Count  your  razor  strokes  when 
you  shave,  and  see  how  low  a  score 


you  can  make;      It  puts  fun   and 
friendly  rivalry  into  shaving. 

If  you  are  a  golfer,  you  will  get  the 
idea  at  once;  but,  even  if  you  never 
have  schlaffed  with  a  driver,  nicked 
with  a  niblick,  or  been  bunkered,  you 
may  be  a  winner  at  Chin  Golf. 

You  are  sure  to  like  the  course  and 
have  a  good  score  if  you  use  Colgate's 
"Handy  Grip"  Shaving  Stick. 


Fill  out  the  attached  coupon,  mail  it  to  us,  with  10c  in  stamps, 
and  we  will  send  you  a  "Handy  Grip,"  containing  a  trial  size 
Colgate  Shaving  Stick.  Also  we  will  send  you,  free,  a  score 
card,  the  rules  for  playing  Chin  Golf,  and  a  screamingly  funny

cartoonist.

DIRECT    ADVERTISING 


DESIGNING 


IE    ■■■   iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmnnm

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 
to  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  onljr  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,  j'ou  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 tie  hazard  so  that  every  message 
reaches  its  destination.  Your  appeal 
has  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-oing  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.

"'  I  'HESE  words  buzzed  joyously  in  my 
L  ears.  But  as  I  looked  about  me  at  the 
mahogany  and  plate  glass  of  my  new  office, 
a  sudden  fear  gripped  me.  Would  I  be 
equal  to  my  new  duties ;  not  in  the  gense 
of  my  mental  capacity,  but  physically  ?  It 
was  a  big  job.  It  meant  heavy  responsi- 
bilities, constant  alertness,  body  and  mind 
attuned  to  high  productive  effort. 

"  Could  I  -stand  the  strain  ?  During  the 
hard,  ambitious  years  I  had  devoted  to 
the  interests  of  the  Company,  I  knew  I 
had  overworked,  and  neglected  myself 
physically. 

"  I  could  see  that  under  this  new  burden 
of  responsibility  and  work,  less  than  ever 
was  I  going  to  be  able  to  devote  time  to 
keeping  fit.  I  might  fail  in  the  job  if  I 
neglected  it  for  play  —  and  I  might  fail  if 
I  stuck  too  closely  to  it. 

"My  contact  with  my  fellow  officers  re- 
vealed them  to  me  as  men  always  in  con- 
dition, forceful,  energetic.  And  I  resolved 
to  ask  them  the  secret  of  it.     Each  of  the 


four  gave  the  same  answer  —  keep  the 
system  clear  of  waste  matter  —  avoid  consti- 
pation. Every  one  of  them  was  using  Nujol. 

"The  president  himself  told  me,  'Consti- 
pation takes  more  from  the  business  world 
than  any  other  disease  or  influence.  Many 
times  the  victim  does  not  know  he  has  it; 
often  when  he  does  appreciate  his  condi- 
tion, he  tries  to  treat  it  with  pills,  salts, 
castor  oil,  or  mineral  waters — which  upset 
the  system  and  tend  to  make  the  consti- 
pation chronic.  There  is  only  one  safe 
and  sane  treatment  for  constipation. 

"  'This  is  the  Nujol  treatment,  based  on  a 
new  principle  propounded  by  Sir  Arbuth- 
not  Lane,  an  eminent  English  doctor,  and 
recommended  now  by  physicians  far  and 
wide.  Nujol  merely  softens  the  food  waste 
so  that  it  passes  naturally  out  of  the  system. 
It  does  not  cause  nausea  or  griping,  nor 
interfere  with  the  day's  work.  I  take  it 
consistently  myself,  and  I  know  it  is  used 
almost  universally  by  prominent  business

What  Is  Research? 


SUPPOSE  that  a  stove  burns  too  much  coal  for  the  amount  of 
heat  that  it  radiates.  The  manufacturer  hires  a  man  familiar 
with  the  principles  of  combustion  and  heat  radiation  to  make 
experiments  which  will  indicate  desirable  changes  in  design.  The  stove 
selected  as  the  most  efficient  is  the  result  of  research. 

Suppose  that  you  want  to  make  a  ruby  in  a  factory — not  a  mere 
imitation,  but  a  real  ruby,  indistinguishable  by  any  chemical  or 
physical  test  from  the  natural  stone.  You  begin  by  analyzing  rubies 
chemically  and  physically.  Then  you  try  to  make  rubies  just  as 
nature  did,  with  the  same  chemicals  and  under  similar  conditions. 
Your  rubies  are  the  result  of  research — research  of  a  different  type 
from  that  required  to  improve  the  stove. 

Suppose,  as  you  melted  up  your  chemicals  to  produce  rubies  and 
experimented  with  high  temperatures,  you  began  to  wonder  how  hot 
the  earth  must  have  been  millions  of  years  ago  when  rubies  were  first 
crystallized,  and  what  were  the  forces  at  play  that  made  this  planet 
what  it  is.  You  begin  an  investigation  that  leads  you  far  from  rubies 
and  causes  you  to  formulate  theories  to  explain  how  the  earth,  and, 
for  that  matter,  how  the  whole  solar  system  was  created.  That  would 
be  research  of  a  still  different  type — pioneering  into  the  unknown  to 
satisfy  an  insatiable  curiosity. 

Research  of  all  three  types  is  conducted  in  the  Laboratories  of  che 
General  Electric  Company.  But  it  is  the  third  type  of  research — 
pioneering  into  the  unknown— that  means  most,  in  the  long  run,  even 
though  it  is  undertaken  with  no  practical  benefit  in  view. 

At  the  present  time,  for  example,  the  Research  Laboratories  of  the 
General  Electric  Company  are  exploring  matter  with  X-rays  in  order 
to  discover  not  only  how  the  atoms  in  different  substances  are  ar- 
ranged but  how  the  atoms  themselves  are  built  up.  The  more  you 
know  about  a  substance,  the  more  you  can  do  with  it.  Some  day  this 
X-ray  work  will  enable  scientists  to  answer  more  definitely  than  they 
can  now  the  question:  Why  is  iron  magnetic?  And  then  the  elec- 
trical industry  will  take  a  great  step  forward,  and  more  real  progress 
will  be  made  in  five  years  than  can  be  made  in  a  century  of  experi- 
menting with  existing  electrical  apparatus. 

You  can  add  wings  and  stories  to  an  old  house.  But  to  build  a 
new  house,  you  must  begin  with  the  foundation.
