THOMAS  STEPHEN  KENAN,  '57 
President  of  the  General  Alumni  Association,  i8g2-'3-ign-,i2 


Thomas  Stephen  Kenan,  one  of  the  best  known  and 
most  loved  of  the  Alumni  of  the  University,  died  at 
his  home  in  Raleigh  on  December  23rd,  191 1.  For 
more  than  thirty  years  Colonel  Kenan  was  a  Trustee  of 


ton  and  Kinston.     It  then   returned  to  the  arm-. 
Northern  Virginia  ami  was  assigned  to 
ion.     With  this  division  Colonel   Kenan  joined  in  the 
memorable    Pennsylvania     campaign    in    June,    1 


the  University,  for  twenty-five  years  a  member  of  the      Throughout   the   three  days'   righting  at   Gettysbu 


Executive  Committee,  and  for  twenty  years  President 
of  the  General  Alumni  Association. 

Colonel  Kenan  was  born  at  Kenansville,  N.  C,  Dup- 
lin County,  on  February  12th,  1838,  being  the  son  of 
Owen  R.  and  Sarah  Graham  Kenan.  He  attended 
school  at  the  Old  Grove  Academy  as  a  student  of  the 
Reverend  James  M.  Sprunt.  From  Old  Grove  Acad- 
emy he  went  to  Central  Military  Institute  at  Selma, 
Alabama,  where  he  was  prepared  for  college. 

In  1853  he  matriculated  at  Wake  Forest  College. 
Finishing  his  freshman  year  in  1854,  he  entered  the 
sophomore  class  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina, 
where  he  was  graduated  with  the  degree  of  A.B.  in 
1857.  The  following  year  he  obtained  from  the 
University  the  degree  of  A.M.  He  then  studied  law 
under  Chief  Justice  Pearson  and  began  the  practice  of 
law  at  Kenansville. 

In  1859,  upon  the  formation  of  the  Duplin  Rifles, 
Col.  Kenan  was  elected  Captain,  and  at  the  beginning 
of  the  Civil  War  he  and  the  company  under  his  com- 
mand were  assigned  to  the  First  Bethel  Regiment, 
and  afterwards  to  the  Second  North  Carolina  Volun- 
teers under  Col.  Solomon  Williams,  which,  upon  the 
reorganization  of  the  North  Carolina  troops,  became 
the  Twelfth  Regiment  of  North  Carolina  State  troops. 

Captain  Kenan,  with  his  company,  saw  service  at 
Wilmington  and  Smithville  under  General  French.  He 
was  afterward  moved  to  Virginia  and  participated  in 
the  James  River  campaign  and  the  battles  around 
Richmond. 

His  personal  popularity  and  military  knowledge 
soon  led  to  his  election  to  the  colonelcy  of  the  38th 
Regiment  upon  its  reorganization  in  April  1862,  but  he 
did  not  accept  this  promotion.  Later  he  was  elc>  ted 
Colonel  of  the  43rd  Regiment  of  Daniel's  Brigade. 

In  December,  1862,  and  the  early  part  of  [863,  the 
43rd  Regiment  under  Colonel  Kenan  took  part  in  the 
movements  around  Goldsboro,  New  Bern,  Washing- 


Colonel  Kenan  fought  with  great   bravery,  ami 
carried  from  the  field  wounded  on  the  third  day  while 
leading  a  charge  against  the  main  line  of  the  enemy. 

On  the  retreat  following  Gettysburg  he  v 
ured  with  other  wounded  Confederates  and  taken 
Federal  Hospital  at  Frederick    City,    ami    tl 
Baltimore.    He  was  taken  to  Johnson's  Island  in  Aug- 
ust, 1863,  and  kept  there  until  March,  when  lie 
was  paroled.     Being  on  parole  he  could  not  rejoin  his 
former  command  but  attempted  to  keep  in  touch  with 
the  army  until  Johnson's  surrender. 

After  the  war  Colonel  Kenan  returned  to  Kenans- 
ville and  resumed  the  practice  of  law.    1  [e  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  General  Assembly  in     [865    and 
where  his  courage,  coolness,  and  wisdom  were  inval- 
uable in  shaping  the  difficult  and  delicate  legislation 
of  the  period.    In  186S  he  was  the  Democratii     andi- 
date  for  Congress  in  the  Duplin  District  bul 
feated  by  his  Republican  opponent  as  the  district  had 
a  large  population  of    newly    enfranchised    1 
Soon  after  this  he  removed   to    Wilson,    was    1: 
mayor  of  the  town,  and  inaugurated  a  policy  that  did 
much  to  make  Wilson  one  of  the    most     pro 
towns  in  the  State.     In  the  -.aim-  year,  t868,  he  mar 
ried  Miss  Sallie  Dortch,  a  worthy  helpmeet  who  made 
his  married  life  ideal.     She  survives  him. 

In     1876     Colonel     Kenan     was     a     candid 
Attorney  General   on   the  ticket   with   Vai 
Roberts,  Scarborough  and  others.    1  [e  was  elected  and 
succeeded  himself  in  ihat  office  ii  '  March

ment  or  a  meeting  of  the  Trustees  until  confined  by 
his  last  sickness.  For  a  generation  his  delightful  pres- 
ence graced  each  annual  meeting  and  his  kindly  smile 
was  a  fond  greeting,  almost  a  benediction,  to  many 
University  men. 

Of  gentle  dignity,  modest,  unassuming,  with  refined 
and  elegant  manners,  anxious  to  do  unselfish,  loving 
service,  he  was  of  the  finest  product  of  the  old  South. 
Remarkably  handsome,  cultured,  genial  and  full  of 
sympathy  and  friendship,  he  won  the  love  of  all  who 


came  in  personal  touch  with  him.  Of  lofty  ideals, 
strong  character,  high  aspirations,  he  inspired  his  asso- 
ciates and  elevated  the  community  in  which  he  lived. 
The  soul  of  honor,  able,  pure,  and  patriotic,  he  magni- 
fied every  position  he  occupied  and  enjoyed  to  the  full 
the  entire  confidence  of  his  people. 

Of  distinguished  lineage  he  was  worthy  of  it,  and  by 
his  life  and  sen-ices  he  added  honor  to  an  honored 


name.

THE  GENERAL  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 


Its  Plan  of  Organization- 
Inquiries  from  a  number  of  University  men,  espe- 
cially from  those  who  have  not  been  present  at  recent 
commencements,  have  been  made  concerning  the  plan 
of  organization  of  the  General  Alumni  Association 
and  what  the  Association  has  done  to  date.  The  in- 
quiries indicate  a  wide-spread  interest  in  all  that  the 
Association  contemplates  doing  and  are  worthy  of  an 
answer. 

Prior  to  191 1,  the  organization  of  the  Association 
was  extremely  loose  and  the  annual  meeting  at  com- 
mencement was  one  at  which  acquaintanceships  were 
renewed  and  the  pleasures  of  commencement  were  par- 
ticipated in  rather  than  one  in  which  constructive  pol- 
icies looking  to  the  welfare  of  the  University  were 
formulated.    Definiteness  of  purpose  was  wholly  lack- 


ing. 


Feeling  the  imperative  need  of  the  hearty  support 
and  co-operation  of  the  alumni,  and  desiring  that  the 
Association  might  be  brought  into  active  work  for  the 
upbuilding  of  the  University,  President  Venable,  in 
response  to  suggestions  coming  from  many  quarters, 
appointed  in  1909  Professors  W.  S.  Bernard,  H.  M. 
YYagstaft  and  Palmer  Cobb,  as  a  special  committee  on 
alumni  organizations,  to  consider  plans  for  bringing 
about  a  more  purposeful  organization  and  to  submit 
a  report  on  its  findings  to  the  alumni  at  a  later  date. 

After  investigating  the  matter  carefully,  the  com- 
mittee formulated  a  plan  and  presented  it  in  an  open 
letter  to  the  alumni  on  October  12th,  1910,  and  asked 
that  it  be  studied  carefully  in  order  that  intelligent 
action  might  be  taken  concerning  it  on  Alumni  day, 
1911. 

On  Monday,  May  29th,  191 1,  at  the  annual  meeting, 
the  report  was  formally  laid  before  the  Association. 
It  was  considered  carefully,  and  after  being  amended 
as  to  the  method  of  electing  officers,  a  committee  was 
named  by  the  chair  to  determine  the  voting  represen- 


-The  Work  Undertaken 

tation  of  the  various  local  associations,  to  fix  the  num- 
ber of  the  councilmen,  and  to  nominate  them.  The 
Association  then  unanimously  re-elected  Col.  Thomas 
S.  Kenan  as  President  and  heard  the  report  of  the 
committee  which  it  immediately  adopted. 

The  plan  as  amended,  modified,  and  adopted,  which 
is  now  the  plan  of  organization  by  which  the  Associa- 
tion is  governed,  is  as  follows: 

There  shall  be  a  General  Assembly  of  the  alumni 
which  shall  convene  annually  in  Gerrard  Hall  on  M01 
day  of  Commencement  week.  This  General  Assembly 
shall  be  composed  of  delegates  from  the  local  alumni 
Associations,  having  the  right  of  voting  upon  the  fol- 
lowing basis  of  representation :

power  of  initiation  of  policies  independent  of  instruc- 
tions; the  power  to  raise,  invest,  and  appropriate  all 
funds;  charge  of  the  organization  and  direction  of  the 
Local  Associations;  of  the  publication  of  a  magazine 
to  be  known  as  The  University  of  North  Carolina 
Alumni  Monthly;  the  care  of  collecting  historical  and 
biographical  data  concerning  the  alumni ;  of  dissemi- 
nating knowledge  which  involves  the  good  of  the 
University;  and  other  functions  such  as  will  suggest 
themselves. 

The  Councilmen  placed  in  nomination  by  the  com- 
mittee and  elected  by  the  Association  were:  \V.  S. 
Bernard,  Chapel  Hill;  W.  H.  Swift,  Greensboro ;  V.  L. 
Stephenson,  Charlotte;  R.  H.  Sykes,  Durham;  J.  Y. 
Joyner,  Raleigh;  one  year.  Robert  Bingham,  Ashe- 
ville;  Hayden  Clement,  Salisbury;  W.  J.  Andrews,

ford;  J.  K.  Wilson,  Elizabeth  City;  P.  D.  Gold,  Ral- 
eigh; T.  D.  Warren,  New  Bern;  J.  O.  Carr,  Wilming-

The  Council  met  in  the  Library  Tuesday  morning 
and  elected  the  following  officers :  Chairman,  Robert 
Bingham,  Asheville;  Temporary  Secretary,  W.  S.  Ber- 
nard, Chapel  Hill ;  Treasurer,  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Raleigh. 
It  then  entered  upon  a  discussion  of  its  functions  and 
duties,  and  decided  unanimously  that  the  most  urgent 
need  for  the  time  was  a  capable  and  enthusiastic  man 
in  the  field  to  undertake  the  organization  of  the 
alumni  into  local  Associations  and  to  raise  funds 
necessary  to  prosecute  the  further  work  of  the  Alumni 
Council.  At  the  solicitation  of  the  members  of  the 
Council,  Councilman  W.  II.  Swift,  of  Greensboro, 
consented  to  undertake  this  work  until  October  12th. 
He  was  at  once  elected  an  officer  of  the  Council  with 
the  title  of  Field  Manager. 

The  chairman,  on  motion,  instructed  Mr.  Swift  and 
Mr.  Bernard  to  prepare  a  general  letter  setting  forth 
facts  of  the  organization  of  the  Council  and  an  outline 
of  the  work  proposed,  to  be  mailed  at  the  discretion 
of  Field  Manager  Swift.  The  Council  then  adjourned 
to  meet  at  the  call  of  the  chairman  on  some  day  be- 
tween the  20th  of  September  and  the  12th  of  October. 
1911. 

On  Monday,  June  3rd,  1912,  immediately  after  the 
luncheon,  the  first  business  session  of  the  General 
Assembly,  under  the  new  form  of  organization,  was 
held.  Delegates  representing  local  Associations  were 
present  with  Col.  Robert  Bingham,  chairman  of  the 
Council,  presiding,  and  Walter  Murphy  as  General 
Secretary. 


The  report  of  \\ .  S.  Bernard,  secretary  ot  the 
Alumni  Council,  was  read  and  r<  The  prin- 

cipal work  accomplished  by  the  Council,  a  Eorth

alumni,    and    later,    \\  alter    Murphy,    oi 
permanent  secretary.     As  a  result  of  th< 
these  men  a  number  of  local  Associations  had  b 
organized,  or  visited,  and  a  splendid   spirit  of  hi 
fulness  and  helpfulness  had  been  called   forth   from 
the   alumni.      .More   than  $1,000  had   been   rai 
these  Association.-,  for  the  extension  of  the  work,  and 
the  outlook  for  a  united,  working  body  of  alumni 
very  promising.     Air.   Murphy's  report  was   formally 
received,  and  later,  after  the  election  of  offii  >m- 

mendations    contained    in    it   were   adopted    by     the 
Assembly. 

Upon  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominal 
Gen.  Julian   S.   Carr,   of   Durham,   was  unanimously 
elected  president,  and   Messrs.  J.   Y.    Joyner,     R.     II. 
Sykes,  George  Stephens.  \\  .  If.  Swift,  and  W.  S.  B 
nard,  were  elected  to  membership  in  the  Council 
a  period  of  three  years,  to  fill  the  vacant 
third  of  the  Council  automatically  retired  under  the 
plan  of  organization. 

Acting  upon  the  suggestion  of  Secretary  Murphy, 
the  Assembly  voted  to  establish  and  publish  an  Alumni 
Monthly  or  Bulletin,  and  to  this  end  name'  om-

and  Louis  R.  \\  ilson. 

It   was  further  recommended  that  the  Council  take 
up   with   the   proper  authorities   the    question    of     the 
alumni  system  of  coaching  in  all  the  athleti

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


UNIVERSITY  DAY 

The  University  and  Alumni  Celebrate  the  119th  Birthday 


Greetings  of  loyalty  and  love  from  a  host  of  far 
scattered  sons;  messages  of  confidence  from  return- 
ing representatives  of  the  younger  purposeful  alumni ; 
the  presence  of  a  student  body  of  eight  hundred 
young  men,  open  minded  to  the  finer  influences  of  the 
century-old  spirit  of  the  place,  together  with  the  return 
of  members  of  classes  from  '49  (Ex-President  Battle) 
to  1912;  and  the  victory  over  Wake  Forest  in  the  after- 
noon, contributed  to  the  making  of  October  12,  1912, 
one  of  the  most  significant  of  all  the  celebrations  of 
University  Day. 

The  day's  exercises  began  at  10:45  o'clock  when 
the  procession  of  alumni,  faculty,  and  students,  under 
the  direction  of  Chief  Marshal  Raper,  formed  in  line 


President  Venabu;  axd  Ex-President:  Battle 
Leading   thi:   Procession' 

in  front  of  Alumni  hall  and  marched  to  Memorial  hall. 

Ex-President  Battle  and  President  Venable,  followed 

by  the  alumni  speakers,  headed  the  long,  impressive 

line. 

Within  Memorial  hall  the  invocation  was  offered  by 
Rev.  W.  D.  Moss  and  the  University  Hymn  was  sung. 
President  Venable,  in  his  introductory  remarks,  ex- 
pressed as  a  hope  for  the  future  University,  a  marked 
growth  in  power  and  service  and  an  exhibition  of  all 
that  is  fine,  worthy  and  high.  His  annual  report  of 
registration  showed  that  the  total  number  of  students 
in  all  departments  was  817.  Divided  into  classes  these 
figures  represent  the  enrollment:  Freshman,  285; 
sophomore.  157;  junior,  87;  senior,  75;  graduates,  23; 
law,  118;  medical,  53;  pharmacy,  30. 

President  Venable  then  read  the  list  of  letters  and 
telegrams  received  up  to  that  hour  from  scattered 
sons  and  friends — the  birthday  greetings  sent  back  out 
of  loyalty  and  love  to  the  University.  The  list  in-

W.  II.  Swift,  '01,  the  first  speaker  of  the  day,  spoke 
on  the  "Relation  of  an  Alumnus  to  the  State."  He 
said,  by  way  of  introduction,  that  the  older  sons  of  the 
University,  if  they  could  stand  where  he  stood  at  that 
moment  and  could  look  into  the  faces  of  the  eight  hun- 
dred boys  before  him,  would  have  no  fear  that  they  as 
graduates  and  as  alumni  in  later  years,  would  meet  all 
the  obligations  inherent  in  the  relation. 

Speaking  more  particularly  of  this  relation,  he  said: 
"Every  man  of  us  who  has  been  here  or  who  is  here, 
by  the  very  fact  of  his  being  here,  is  indebted  to  every 
human  being  in  North  Carolina  for  his  education. 
This  is  a  State  institution.  There  is  nothing  else  to 
support  it.  except  probably  the  few  dollars  that  are 
paid  for  tuition.  With  that  exception,  every  dollar 
used  in  its  support  is  taken  from  the  taxes  of  the  State. 
This  is  done  that  the  entire  State  may  be  benet'r 
For  this  reason,  the  State  has  a  right  to  expect  from 
you  more  than  she  does  from  any  other  College  men

in  North  Carolina,  because  she  has  invested  her  money 
in  you." 

After  emphasizing  the  nature  of  this  obligation  on 
the  part  of  the  student,  Mr.  Swift  pointed  out  how  it 
might  be  met — by  rallying  to  the  calls  of  the  State  in 
the  solution  of  all  its  vexing  problems  and  in  rendering 
it  a  full,  vital  service. 

W.  P.  Stacy,  '08,  of  Wilmington,  spoke  on  the 
"Things  that  Count  in  the  Greater  University."  These 
requisites  he  declared  to  be  strong  character;  clear, 
right  thinking;  hard  work  in  a  good  cause;  and  right- 
eousness. Maintaining  the  similiarity  of  life  on  the 
campus  and  out  in  the  larger  world,  he  urged  that  men 
at  the  University  should  cultivate  in  their  student  days 
those  virtues  which  characterize  the  true  man  out  in 
life.  North  Carolina  expected  nothing  other  of  men 
from  the  University  than  the  very  highest  excellence 
in  these  particulars. 

J.  K.  Wilson,  '05,  of  Elizabeth  City,  introduced  by 
President  Venable  as  the  "youngest  trustee  of  the 
University,"  spoke  on  "Complancency  or  Idealism"  as 
evidenced  in  the  attitude  of  the  University  to  its  past 
and  its  future.  He  took  pride  in  the  fact  that  since 
he  first  knew  the  University,  it  had  grown  remarkably, 
but  while  doing  that,  he  realized  that  it  had  not  availed 
itself  of  all  the  opportunities  of  service  lying  open  to 
it.  He  voiced  what  has  been  a  growing  sentiment  in 
the  State  for  several  years  that  the  University  should, 
like  the  University  of  Wisconson,  spend  itself  more 
directly  in  the  service  of  the  people.  In  solving  the 
problems  of  public  health,  in  bringing  about  better 
methods  of  taxation,  in  giving  expert  advice  to  town- 
ships and  counties  engaged  in  the  construction  of  high- 
ways, in  carrying  literature  on  all  kinds  of  every  day, 
actual  problems,  to  any  citizen  in  the  State  who  might 
be  in  need  of  special  information — in  doing  all  those 
helpful,  needed  things  embraced  under  the  head  of 
intelligent  "University  Extension,"  he  urged  the  Uni- 
versity to  have  a  larger  part. 

George  Stephens,  '96,  of  Charlotte,  hero  of  many  a 
baseball  game  back  in  the  nineties  and  one  of  the  most 
loyal  of  the  University's  sons,  discussed  the  question 
of  athletics.  His  introduction  caught  the  student  body. 
"The  subject  that  has  been  assigned  to  me  is  one  that 
more  people  know  more  about  than  perhaps  any  other 
subject  in  this  country  today.  As  I  came  down  on  the 
train,  I  took  occasion  to  buy  a  daily  newspaper  and  I 
found  that  two  and  one-half  pages  were  devoted  to 
athletics  and  only  two  columns  to  the  presidential  elec- 
tion. In  one  of  the  editorials  of  this  same  paper  was  an 
extract  from  a  speech  delivered  last   Wednesday  by 


Governor  Woodrow  \\  ilson  in  which  he  apologized  fur 
asking  the  people  tor  nine  iu  listen  to  him  discuss 
issues  during  the  week  111  which  a  world  champion- 
ship series  were  being  played!" 

Speaking  further  Mr.  Stephens  said:  '  I  e  that 

the  question  of  athletics  is  and  must  be  m  e  of 

the  principal  assets  ol  tins  University  in  order  to  , 
pace  with  the  activities  of  other  colleges,  and  it  must 
be  promoted  on  the  part  of  its  alumni. 

"If  1  were  to  be  asked  to  analyze  the  athletics  0 
institution  like  this,  I  should  say  that  it  could 
divided   into   two   parts:   technical   knowk  hich 

amounts  to  about  one-tenth  and  can  be  learned  b)  .. 
body,  and  nine-tenths  fight,  not  in  the  pugihsti 
but  in  a  sense  of  a  high  co-ordination  01  body,  n 
and  spirit,  that  does  not  know  when  to  stop." 

Pointing  out  the  fact  that  athletics  brought  the  Uni- 
versity more  publicity  than  any  other  lonn  of  its 
activities,  and  that  it  served  as  the  bond  which  I 
the  alumni  most  closely  to  it,  Mr.  Stephens  urged  that 
the  University  make  capital  of  this  fact.  This,  he- 
was  confident,  could  best  be  done  by  adopting  a  system 
of  alumni  coaching.  His  high  opinion  oi  tins  system, 
both  as  a  means  of  holding  ttie  interest  of  the  alumni 
and  of  developing  the  right  kind  of  spirit  m  the  teams, 
came  as  a  result  of  investigation  and  discu  the 

subject  with  the  alumni  all  over  the  State.     \\  hile  tins 
was  true,  however,  he  held  that  it  would  take  lime  to 
make  the  change,  but   the   change   when   once   n. 
would  result  in  great  benefit  to  the   University. 

Victor  S.  Bryant,  '90,  of  Durham,  to  whom  the 
mittee  on  arrangements  had  assigned  no  special  topic, 
presented  in  a  speech  that    appealed    to    the 
thought  of  the  alumni  and  the  faculty,  the  , 
the  University  in  the  past  twenty-five

maintaining  its  integrity,  in  working  harmoniously  at

ing to  the  demands  which  the  State  made  upon  it,  the 
University  had  prospered. 

W.  S.  Bernard,  'oo,  told  of  the  plans  for  The 
Alumni  Review.  It  was  to  carry  the  news  of  the 
University  to  the  alumni;  to  bring  back  news  from 
them  to  the  University;  and  to  keep  alumni  in  touch 
with  each  other.  In  order  that  it  might  succeed  in  its 
work,  Mr.  Bernard  urged  that  all  alumni  should  think 
of  it  as  their  open  forum  for  the  discussion  of  Univer- 


sity matters  and  to  give  it  their  heartiest  financial  sup- 
port. 

Frank  Graham,  '09,  of  the  Uaw  Class,  was  the  last 
speaker  and  represented  the  student  body.  He  made 
an  earnest,  telling  appeal  on  behalf  of  the  University 
Council  for  mutual  trust  among  the  students  and  for 
a  saner,  cleaner  life  on  the  campus. 

The  singing  of  the  "Song  of  the  Alumnus"  and  the 
pronouncing  of  the  benediction  by  Rev.  \\  .  A.  Stan- 
bury,  of  Chapel  Hill,  concluded  the  exercises. 


A  NORTH  CAROLINA  TEACHER 

By  E.  K.  GRAHAM,  '98.* 


To  men  in  every  profession  now  and  then  come 
doubts  as  to  the  real  productiveness  of  their  work. 
Prof.  Barrett  Wendell  said  (or  is  reported  to  have 
said)  sometime  ago  to  a  promising  student  that  he 
should  avoid  the  profession  of  teaching  because  "it  is 
a  sterile  field."  One  virtue  at  least  distinguishes  this 
judgment  of  Professor  Wendell's:  It  frankly  avoids 
the  cant  that  so  often  marks  the  talk  about  teaching 
and  other  noble  and  (consequently)  poorly  paid  pro- 
fessions. A  North  Carolina  teacher  several  years  ago 
raised  a  small  storm  in  the  State  by  a  judgment  sim- 
ilar in  frankness :  that  the  teachers  in  the  State  need 
not  be  indignant  at  their  small  wages — that  most  of 
them  got  as  much  as  they  are  worth.  To  judge  a 
man's  worth  is  often  very  difficult.  In  business  it  is 
fairly  easy;  in  medicine  it  is  somewhat  more  difficult; 
in  teaching  it  is  more  difficult  still.  Effects  there  are 
not  so  quickly  and  obviously  related  to  their  causes. 
If  it  were  possible  to  innoculate  a  man  with  the  bi- 
nomial theorem  and  Browning  and  have  him  break 
out  the  next  day  or  the  next  week  with  dollar  bills 
or  a  case  of  bankruptcy,  judgment  would  be  easy. 
And  for  better  and  worse  teachers  would  get  more 
accurately  what  they  are  worth.  Straight-thinking 
teachers  do  well  to  find  and  to  speak  the  naked  truth 
about  their  profession,  but  he  is  a  sadly  astray  guide 
who  calls  teaching  "a  sterile  field."  That  will  not  be 
true  until  pliable  humanity  is  worn  down  to  a  breed 
of  barren  metal.  Experience  reveals  a  different  dis- 
play of  facts.  Few  of  the  achievements  of  men  have 
been  solitary  triumphs.  They  were  first  laid  with 
words  of  grateful  dicipleship  at  the  feet  of  some 
teacher. 

•Reprinted  from  the  North  Carolina  Review,  Feb..  1911. 


The  sterility  of  a  field  depends  as  much  on  the  hus- 
bandman as  it  does  on  the  field,  and  a  greater  variety 
of  conditions  surround  the  fruitful  cultivation  of  men 
than  surround  the  successful  cultivation  of  the  soil. 
The  productiveness  of  teaching  in  Massachusetts  may 
not  be  as  obvious,  though  it  may  be  just  as  real  as  it 
is  in  North  Carolina;  it  may  not  be  as  obvious  in  the 
work  of  one  teacher  in  Harvard  as  it  is  in  that  of 
another.  Professor  George  H.  Palmer,  for  instance, 
a  colleague  of  Professor  Wendell's,  has  said  that  if 
for  any  reason  Harvard  College  could  not  pay  him 
for  teaching  he  would  gladly  pay  Harvard  College 
for  letting  him  teach.  This  confession  wakes  a  clear 
echo  in  the  heart  of  every  true  teacher,  and  bears  with 
it  stimulating  assurance  of  productiveness.  The  ex- 
perience of  Dr.  Thomas  Hume,  Professor  Emeritus  of 
English  Literature  in  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina, is  an  illuminating  example  of  the  somewhat  puz- 
zling rewards  of  the  profession  of  teaching.  For 
him  all  active  work  is  done.  At  its  finish  he  funis 
himself  with  no  accumulation  of  wealth,  nor  other  vis- 
ible accumulation.  His  influence  is  not  apparent  from 
a  casual  glance  at  present  educational  work.  Shall 
one  say,  then,  that  teaching  was  to  him  "a  sterile 
field?" 

In  1885,  when  Dr.  Hume  came  to  the  University, 
conditions  surrounding  teaching  in  the  State  were  not 
so  favorable  as  they  are  now.  They  were  especially 
unfavorable  to  the  teaching  of  English  Literature.  The 
State  was  to  wait  five  years  for  the  great  educational 
campaign  of  the  '90's.  Mclver  was  at  that  time  a 
teacher  of  English  in  Peace  Institute;  Alderman  had 
just  begun  his  public  school  work  in  Goldsboro;  Joy-

ner  was  a  teacher  in  the  Winston  schools;  Aycock's 
educational  activity  was  entirely  local. 

And  even  when  this  awakening  movement  was  un- 
der way  the  impetus  of  its  enthusiasm  was  necessarily 
along  fundamental  lines.  It  was  for  a  wider  intelli- 
gence and  a  higher  intelligence  among  the  people. 
Its  message  was  primarily  a  message  of  efficiency.  Its 
compelling  word  was  to  men  as  workers.  It  said  to 
agriculture  and  commerce — your  fight  will  end  in 
tragic  defeat  unless  you  can  use  your  head  as  well  as 
your  hands.  To  know  in  order  to  do  was  its  winning 
battle  cry.  It  put  enthusiasm  into  many  branches  of 
learning,  but  it  put  less  into  literature  than  into  any 
of  the  rest.  Literature,  as  such,  has  nothing  to  say 
on  this  matter  of  the  utility  of  knowledge.  It  deals 
with  fine  feeling  rather  than  effective  knowing,  an.1 
views  men  not  merely  as  capable  of  doing  successful 
work,  but  as  capable  of  enjoying  the  noblest  emotions. 
In  the  face  of  the  difficulties  that  confront  every 
teacher  of  the  aesthetic,  and  the  peculiar  difficulties 
that  confronted  him,  Dr.  Hume  wrought  at  his  task 
of  teaching  the  masterpieces  of  literature  with  the 
zeal  of  a  prophet.  Literature  (whenever  he  wrote  the 
word  he  capitalized  it)  was  to  him  not  a  chance  pro- 
fession ;  it  was  a  religious  faith.  The  beauty  he  found 
there  was  not  the  sentimentalism  of  a  cult ;  it  was  the 
gift  of  God,  co-equal  with  truth  and  with  goodness— 
the  heavenly  light  that  was  the  consecration  of  the 
monotonous  struggle  to  get  on.  The  prophetic  earnest- 
ness with  which  he  revealed  his  vision  made  him  not 
a  little  absurd  (a  sure  effect  of  greatly  earnest  men) 
to  many  of  the  absurd  youths  he  taught;  but  under 
all  discouragements  he  never  faltered  in  his  faith,  and 
not  one  youth,  however  absurd,  failed  to  take  out  into 
his  life  something  of  the  divine  fire  that  inspired  Dr. 
Hume. 

During  most  of  the  sixteen  years  in  which  he  served 
the  State,  Dr.  Hume  in  his  field  worked  almost  alone. 
Alone  in  what  was  by  all  odds  the  largest  department 
in  the  University  he  placed  but  one  limit  on  the  num- 
ber of  courses  he  taught  and  that  was  the  number  of 
hours  in  the  day.  Day  and  night  he  gave  himself  to 
active  instruction.  In  addition,  he  organized  Shakes- 
peare clubs  out  in  the  State,  lectured  in  summer 
schools,  preached  in  churches,  in  fact,  put  no  reserve 
whatever  upon  his  time  or  his  strength.  It  was  a 
matter  of  everyday  wonder  how  so  frail  a  man  had 
the  burden-bearing  power  of  a  superman.  But  here 
was  the  simple  secret:  To  him  it  was  not  a  burden, 
but  a  joy.  It  gave  him  the  chance  to  teach!  And 
now  that  weakness  remorsely  holds  him  to  his  room 


when  the  long,  long  thoughts  that  are  the  heritage  of 
age  as  well  as  the  promise  of  youth,  come  to  him, 
I  question  if  thought  of  gratitude  on  the  part  of  the 
State  for  the  strength  spent  in  her  service  ever  crosses 
his  mind.  Gratitude  to  the  State,  on  the  contrary, 
no  doubt  he  feels  that  he  was  given  worthy  work  to 
do — that  gracious  benediction  of  a  fruiiful  life  no 
doubt  he  feels  and  nothing  more. 

Besides  the  influence  that  Dr.  Hume  exerted  on  all 
his  students,  on  the  thousands  of  people  with  whom 
he  came  in  contact  in  his  extension  work  and  through 
his  preaching,  he  made  other  leaders  of  sweetness 
and  light  in  whose  work  his  influence  is  especially  ob- 
vious. Many  successful  teachers,  themselves  makers 
of  teachers,  many  successful  preachers  and  lawyers 
have  added  a  grace  to  their  lives  that  was  kindled  at 
the  torch  that  he  bore.  He  was  never  a  writer  of 
books,  but  he  was  a  maker  of  writers  of  books.  A 
half  dozen  books  come  to  mind  in  which  he  was  in 
this  indirect  way  a  joint  author.  On  my  desk  lies 
Dr.  Herman  Home's  most  recent  book,  "Idealism  in 
Education,"  perhaps  the  most  notable  book  of  die 
past   year  by   a   North    Carolinian.      Dr.    Home   ac-

knowledges  another  great  North  Carolina  teacher  as 
his  master,  but  the  style  by  which  his  scholarship  is 
distinguished  he  owes  in  large  part  to  Dr.  Hume,  and 
much  no  doubt  of  the  idealism  that  characterizes  his 
thinking.  Dr.  Hume's  mind  is  as  alert,  as  eager,  and 
as  interested  as  ever,  although  his  body  under  the 
whip  of  his  spirit  has  paid  barely  less  than  full  toll. 
From  a  material  viewpoint,  teaching  has  been  to 
him  ''a  sterile  field ;"  but  the  fine  thing  is  that  he  stands 
quite  clearly  and  unconsciously  above  the  material 
viewpoint.  The  cessation  of  work  does  not  mark  the 
end  of  his  influence,  nor  do  the  four  walls  of  his  room 


limit  its  sphere.  As  a  teacher  of  men  it  was  given 
to  him  to  subdue  the  petty  tyranny  of  time  and  space. 
Is  it  not  possible  to  say  simply  and  with  certitude  about 
such  a  teacher  that  life  gives  to  him  her  greatest  gift; 
that  even  while  he  lives  immortality  becomes  to  him  a 
visible,  a  realized  fact? 
"The  stream  which  overflowed  the  souls  was  passed 

away, 
A  consciousness  remained  that  it  had  left 
Deposited  upon  the  silent  shore 
Of  memory  images  and  precious  thoughts 
That  shall  not  die,  and  cannot  be  destroyed." 


THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL  OF  1912 
The  Enrollment  Reached  463  and  Splendid  Work  Was  Done 


The  University  Summer  School,  under  the  direction 
of  Prof.  N.  W.  Walker,  was  in  session  from  June  11 
to  July  20,  with  an  attendance  of  463  students,  being  by 
far  the  most   largely    attended    session    since     1877

when  the  University  first  began  to  give  special  instruc-

hard-working  faculty  of  twenty-one  members  drawn 
from  the  University  and  elsewhere,  and  the  instruc- 
tion given  in  the  forty-six  courses  offered  was  well 
received  by  the  teacher-students.  The  dormitories, 
laboratories  and  libraries  of  the  University  were 
brought  into  use  and  all  the  resources  of  the  Univer- 
sity were  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  makers  of 
North  Carolina  schools. 

From  the  point  of  view  of  numbers,  the  growth  in 
attendance  is  very  interesting.  In  1908  the  enrollment 
was  53;  in  1909,  76;  in  1910,  99;  in  191 1,  225;  in 
1912,  463.  Of  those  attending  in  1912,  124  were  men 
and  339  ladies.  By  far  the  largest  group  of  these  were 
teachers  actively  at  work  out  in  the  state  and  those 
preparing  to  teach.  They  numbered  respectively.  365 
and  51.  Twenty-one  were  preparing  to  enter  college 
and  26  were  variously  employed.  There  were  457 
students  from  North  Carolina — all  but  six  of  those 
present — representing  yy  counties. 

Apart  from  the  serious  daily  work  of  the  term,  sev- 
eral exceedingly  attractive  programmes  were  carried 
out  and  enjoyed  by  members  of  the  school.  On  the 
Fourth  of  July  all  the  school  formed  in  front  of 
Alumni  Hall  for  the  procession  and  exercises  around 
the  flag.  Everyone  in  the  line — 450  or  more — wore 
sashes  and  rosettes  in  patriotic  colors,  and  all  the 
ladies  were  dressed  in  white.  The  group  saluting  the 
flag  and  singing  the  "Star-Spangled  Banner"  presented 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  scenes  ever  witnessed  on  the 
campus  and  is  to  be  remembered  along  with  scenes  of 
class  day  exercises  out  under  the  evening  shadows 
of  Davie  Poplar. 

On  the  evening  of  the  Fourth  the  Dramatic  Club  of 


the  school  presented  the  play  "Ksther  Wake,"  written 
and  staged  by  Prof.  A.  Vermont,  formerly  of  the 
University  and  now  superintendent  of  the  Smithfield 
Schools.  The  play  was  based  upon  incidents  growing 
out  of  the  administration  of  Gov.  Tryon  and  the  Battle 
of  Alamance.  Presented  out  in  the  open  in  front  of 
the  old  vine-festooned  library,  it  was  beautifully 
staged  and  splendidly  played  to  an  audience  of  more 
than  four  hundred  students  and  out-of-town  visitors. 
Another  feature  of  the  term  was  the  series  of 
twenty  or  more  special  lectures  by  speakers  not  con- 
nected with  the  University.  Among  these  visitors 
were  Dr.  P.  P.  Claxton,  United  States  Commis- 
sioner of  Education,  and  Dr.  Charles  DeGarmo,  Pro- 
fessor of  Educational  Psychology  at  Cornell  Univer- 
sity. Both  were  extremely  suggestive  and  inspiring 
in  their  addresses. 

The  most  distinctive  single  feature  of  the  term  was 
the  earnest,  straightforward  effort  of  the  teachers  to 
enlarge  their  professional  equipment.  The  idea  of 
merely  attending  lectures  without  studying  did  not 
evidence  itself  and  the  greater  part  of  the  student 
body  remained  throughout  the  entire  six  weeks  and 
stood  the  examinations  assigned  by  the  State  Board 
of  Examiners  for  the  various  kinds  of  State  certifi- 
cates and  those  required  by  the  instructors  in  the 
school.  Pleasures  were  not  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  regular  duties  in  course  and  a  spirit  of  work  per- 
vaded the  entire  campus.  The  record  of  the  school  in 
this  particular  was  exceedingly  good,  and  it  goes  down 
in  the  history  of  the  University  as  the  best  term  to 
date. 


W.  I.  RAND  MEETS  DEATH  WHILE  BEING  HAZED 
The  Findings  of  the  Faculty  Investigation 


On  the  opening  night  of  the  college  year,  Mr.  I.  W. 
Rand,  of  Smithfield,  N.  C,  a  member  of  the  freshman 
class,  fell  from  a  barrel,  while  being  hazed  by  a  group 
of  sophomores,  cut  his  jugular  vein  on  a  broken  bot- 
tle, and  bled  to  death.  The  detailed  facts  of  this  +ragie 
affair,  and  the  subsequent  events  are  known  to  most  of 
the  Alumni;  they  are  briefly  recounted  here  for  the 
information  of  those  who  do  not  see  the  State  papers. 

The  four  sophomores  who  composed  the  party  that 
took  young  Rand  and  his  room-mate  out,  were  im- 
mediately arrested  and  bound  over  to  court  under 
$5,000  bail  each.  All  gave  bail  to  await  trial  at  the 
October  term  of  Orange  superior  court,  at  which  the 


case  was  continued  until  March,  1913,  on  account  of 
the  illness  of  the  presiding  judge. 

The  faculty  of  the  University  delegated  seven  of  iis 
members  to  investigate  this  affair,  and  any  other  in- 
stances of  hazing.  This  committee,  after  an  exhaustive 
investigation,  report'.. 1  eight  men  present  in  addition 
to  the  principals;  it  reported  three  instances  of  other 
hazing,  and  the  names  of  some  of  the  participants;  it 
reported  that,  incidental  to  its  investigation,  it  had  dis- 
covered also  several  men  who  were  guilty  of  particular- 
ly lawless  conduct  last  spring,  and  who  up  to  the  time 
of  this  investigation,  had  been  able  to  prevent  dis- 
covery.   The  faculty,  according  to  its  custom,  dismis-

vere  active  participants  and  suspended 
those  spectators  who  were  present  through  choice. 

\.  a  resull   of  their  investigation  into  all  of  these 

affairs,  the  faculty  dismissed  four,  in  addition  to  the 

four  under  bond  for  trial  and  already  expelled  by  the 

trustees,  and   suspended  twelve  others  for  one  year. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive    Committee   of    the 

rd  of  trustees,  the  action  of  the  faculty    was    re- 

ved  and  endorsi 
Tin  f  President  Venable  to  the  students 

makes  clear  certain  that  have  been  in  dispute, 

owing  to  a  misunderstanding  of  the  facts.  Chiefly 
these  are  concerned  with  the  so-called  "hazing"  of  last 
spring.  This  was  not  so  much  hazing  as  it  was  out- 
rageous law  luntenanced  by  no  college  cus- 
tom of  any  sort,  committed  in  the  village  and  subject 

riminal  law.  Investigation  of  it  had  not  been  drop- 
ped :  the  names  0f  the  guilty  were  discovered  at  this 
time,  through  the  extraordinary  stimulus  to  the  con- 

nce  of  the  community  aroused  by  the  death  of  Mr. 
Rand.  For  participation  in  this  affair  of  last  spring. 
one  man  was  dismissed  and  three  were  suspended  for 
their  connection  with  it.  Three  of  the  others  who  were 
either  dismissed  or  suspended  were  in  it  and  the  Rand 
affair  also. 

The  extracts  from  President  Yenable's  statement 
follow : 

"The  University  law  forbids  hazing  in  any  form.  I 
am  well  aware  that  the  student  definition  oi  hazing 
differs  in  varying  groups  of  students  and  often  widely 
from  the  interpretation  of  the  faculty.  The  faculty 
cannot  accept  any  other  interpretation  than  their  own. 
'Hazing  in  any  form'  is  a  broad  phrase  and  covers 
everything  from  physical  violence  to  any  foolish  hu- 
miliating performance  which  a  gentleman  would  not 
willingly  do  in  public  under  ordinary  circumstances. 
The  fact  that  it  is  done  without  resistance  and  on  a 
simple  request  has  no  bearing  on  the  matter.  The 
young  stranger  may  well  believe  that  resistance  would 
firing  about  something  worse  still 

"  \gain.  for  many  years  the  law  of  the  faculty  has 

luded  among  hazers  those  who  aid  and  abet  by  their 

e,  and  a  number  of  students  have  in  past  years 

been  sent  away  or  suspended  for  this;  and  the  reasons 

"od  and  sufficient  to  both  faculty  and  trusti 
for  the  latter  body  has  approved  this  law.     In  the  first 
place,  it  but  follows  the  law  of  the  land  where  a  mem- 
ber of  a  mob  is  particeps  criminis.    Secondly,  it  is  prac- 

ally  impossible  to  draw  an  excusing  line  between 
those  who  are  gathered  in  the  room  or  at  the  door  and 
the  one  or  two  who  may  be  giving  orders.     All  lend  the 


compelling  force  of  their  presence.  Just  so  all  who  go 
to  or  enter  a  room  to  get  a  freshman  out  or  accompany 
a  party  to  some  outlying  field  really  aid  because  their 
presence  in  superior  numbers  makes  resistance  futile. 
I  think  thai  tins  will  be  perfectly  clear  to  every  honest. 
thinking  man.  who  knows  anything  of  the  circum- 
stances surrounding  hazing.  The  punishment  may 
vary  in  degree,  and  some  of  your  comrades  have  re- 
cently been  punished  under  this  law. 
***** 

'The  committee  does  not  propose  to  enter  upon  the 
hopeless  task  of  unearthing  all  breaches  of  the  law  that 
have  taken  place  in  the  past.  It  took  up  the  affair  of 
last  spring,  however,  because  it  was  one  of  the  most 
disgraceful  affairs  that  has  happened  here,  an  offence 
against  all  laws.  The  investigation  on  the  part  of  the 
town,  the  faculty,  and  the  student  council  failed  at  the 
time.  When  a  citizen  of  the  town  gave  me  information 
a  few  days  after  the  coroner's  inquest  it  was  impera- 
tive to  take  the  matter  up  again.  Information  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  other  members  of  the  faculty 

also.

"I  have  repeatedly  spoken  to  you  of  the  co-opera- 
tion of  government  between  the  faculty  and  the  stu- 
dent council,  each  working  independently  of  the  other 
In  some  cases  the  codes  of  the  two  differ,  the  students 
going  as  far  as  the  best  student  sentiment  will  support 
them,  the  faculty  creating  student  sentiment.  The 
student  council  reports  action  to  the  faculty.  It  does 
not  report  names  and  testimony  for  faculty  action.  If 
it  did.  it  would  become  merely  a  means  of  getting  the 
students  to  give  information  on  their  fellows  and 
would  immediately  fall  into  dishonor  and  usefulness. 

"It  follows  then,  that  both  faculty  and  students  may 
be.  and  often  are.  following  an  investigation  at  the 
same  time;  that  eroneration  by  one  does  not  neces- 
sarily mean  escape  from  the  other  if  the  codes  < litter, 
or  if  new  evidence  is  obtained,  and  that  an  examina- 
tion dropped  by  one  may  at  any  time  be  taken  up  by 
the  other  if  it  is  seen  fit  to  do  so.

"It  is  in  some  measure  apparent  to  you  all  what  tin 
L  niversity  has  suffered  in  the  estimation,  respect  and 
pride  of  the  people  of  the  State  in  the  past  few  weeks.

THE  PRESENT  STATUS  OF  ATHLETICS 
"Nat"  J.  Cartmell  Head  Coach 


Excepting  the  question  of  eligibility  of  players 
which  rests  with  the  faculty  athletic  committee,  ath- 
letic management  at  the  University  as  the  result  of  a 
forward  move  last  year  in  the  reorganization  of  the 
athletic  association  is  now  vested  in  an  athletic  council 
composed  of  the  managers  of  football,  baseball, 
basketball  and  track,  the  president  of  the  athletic  asso- 
ciation, the  editor-in-chief  of  The  Tar  Heel,  a  stu- 
dent at  large,  and  a  member  of  the  faculty.  In  this 
representative  student  athletic  council  under  the  ad- 


Coach   Cartmell 


visement  of  one  member  of  the  faculty  chosen  by  the 
council  is  concentrated  the  responsibility  of  electing 
the  graduate  manager,  employing  the  coaches,  and  of 
shaping  and  directing  the  financial  policy  of  athletics. 
The  funds  of  the  athletic  association  will  be  handled 
through  Proctor  C.  T.  Woollen,  quasi-graduate  man- 
ager. The  home  source  of  revenue  is  the  newly  insti- 
tuted five  dollar  fee  for  membership  in  the  association 
which  entitles  each  member  to  see  every  athletic  con- 
test on  the  local  grounds.  With  this  more  substantial 
financial  basis  and  with  concentrated  responsibility  in 
an  efficient  council  to  supplant  what  proved  to  be 
desultory,  inexperienced,  and  unbusinesslike  manage- 
ment, athletics  at  the  University  are  on  a  foundation 
for  gradual   growth   into   greater   effectiveness. 

Another  forward  move  was  the  selection  of  N.  J. 
Cartmell,  the  remarkably  successful  track  coach,  to  be 
head  coach  of  all  university  athletics.  This  selection 
won  the  confidence  of  the  whole  student  body.  The 
students  have  believed  in  "Nat"  from  the  moment  he 
came  quietly  into  Chapel  I  I  ill  with  the  world's  champ- 
ionship medals  hidden  away  from  eager  eyes.  The 
first  year  he  wenl  about  his  work  simply  and  persist- 
ently to  rebuild  or  rather  to  build  an  athletic  activity 
of  little  consequence  in  point  of  interest  or  achieve- 
ment. With  what  was  left  over  from  other  forms  of 
athletics  in  his  short  stay  here  Cartmell  has  placed 
track  above  them  all  and  has  made  Carolina  a  mightier 
name  in  South  Atlantic  athletics,  twice  winning  the 
State  meet  and  scoring  second  place  last  spring  in  the 
Southern  meet  at  Baltimore. 

Cartmell  is  a  native  of  Kentucky  and  a  former  resi- 
dent of  Asheville.  lie  is  a  loyal  alumnus  of  Pennsyl 
vania  and  a  splendid  product  of  Penn's  wizard  trainer. 
Mike  Murphy.  Not  satisfied  with  American  collegiate 
and  amateur  honors  in  the  100  and  220  dashes,  he 
met  Postle.  the  Australian  world's  champion,  and 
lowered  the  world's  record  in  the   furlong. 

Cartmell    is    an    unusual    mixture    of    a    man.       The

course  of  one  day  may  find  him  as  "Bloody  Nat,"  the 
splendid  animal  on  the  cinder  path,  as  the  unconscious 
centre  of  an  after-supper  group  about  the  postoffice, 
and  as  an  appreciative  listener  that  night  to  President 
Hadley's  reconciliation  of  science  and  philosophy. 
There  is  something  about  this  combination  that  goes, 
that  attracts,  that  wins  and  inspires  others  to  win. 
Give  him  two  years  and  he  will — wait  and  see! 

Cartmell  is  now  under  a  two  year  contract  to  be 
head  coach  with  power  to  select  the  special  coaches  in 
football  and  baseball  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
council.  This  central  coaching  arrangement  will  save 
the  association  $1,000  a  year  which  is  not  to  be  scorn- 
el  in  the  face  of  a  $2,500  debt.  As  football  coach  he 
selected  Martin  of  Notre  Dame,  a  player  at  end,  in  the 
line,  and  in  the  backfield  under  western  and  eastern 
coaches.  His  versatile  ability  and  enthusiasm — but  the 
season  will  tell  the  story  of  him. 

First  chapter:  Carolina  13,  Davidson  o. 


The  present  central  coaching  system  taking  the  place 
of  a  system  of  annual  change  in  systems  is  a  prepara- 
tion for  the  gradual  introduction  of  the  alumni  system. 
In  spirit  this  is  somewhat  of  an  alumni  system  now.  As 
a  keen  observer  of  Cartmell  has  well  said :  "He  has 
more  University  spirit  than  many  of  you  who  get  your 
diplomas  in  Memorial  Hall.  "  Carolina  is  fortunate  in 
having  as  head  coach  and  trainer  in  all  athletics  such 
a  believer  in  Carolina  and  lover  of  fair  sport  as  the 
terrific  Cartmell. 

Vitally  instrumental  both  in  the  inauguration  of  the 
system  of  concentrated  athletic  management  and  in 
the  selection  of  Cartmell  as  central  coaching  head  has 
been  Dr.  James  F.  Royster,  athletic  advisor  chosen  by 
the  students.  On  account  of  pressure  of  committee 
and  department  work  Dr.  Royster  has  had  to  give  up 
his  work  as  athletic  advisor.  In  his  place  the  council 
elected  Dr.  Charles  H.  Herty,  devoted  friend  of 
University  athletics. 


FOOTBALL 

The  Season  Starts  Off  With  Two  Victories 


Carolina  13,  Davidson  o 

Carolina  opened  her  football  season  in  Charlotte 
I  Ictober  the  fifth  by  defeating  Davidson  College  13 
to  o.  Wakeley  scored  the  first  touchdown  in  the  first 
quarter  on  a  brilliant  skirt  around  left  end.  Abernathy 
the  younger  pounded  the  line  for  the  other  score  in 
the  fourth  quarter.  Huske  and  Moore  were  most 
effective  on  defense.  Booe  and  Graham  of  Davidson 
were  dashing  at  times  but  never  dangerous.  The  day 
was  too  hot  for  the  heavy  Carolina  line  and  Davidson 
lacked  her  characteristic  snap. 

The  score  is  the  largest  that  Carolina  has  made 
against   Davidson   since   the  days   of    the    teams    of 


Graves'     and     Jones'.     In     seven    years    the    scores 
have  included  ties,  victories  of  one  touchdown,  and  one 
defeat — the  only  one  in  the  long  line  of  victories.

lina's defense  which  strengthened  magnificently  under 
the  goal  posts.  Wakeley  of  Carolina  excelled  in  punts 
and  Capt.  Tillett's  return  of  Riddick's  spirals  pre- 
vented a  3  to  2  score.  Tillett's  open  field  dash  for  a

a  game  that  was  disappointing  to  both  teams.

Annual   Tennis  Tournament 

The  annual  Varsity  tennis  tournament  was  started 
last  week  with  fifteen  entries.  The  first  round  and 
part  of  the  second  has  been  played  off.  The  entries 
include  Oats  and  Chambers,  last  year's  team,  who, 
however,  are  being  closely  pushed.  Venable  and 
Bailey,  the  team  of  two  years  ago,  are  both  in  college. 
Venable  is  not  eligible  though,  and  baseball  will  keep 
Bailey  from  playing  in  the  spring. 

The  first  round  resulted  as  follows:  Oats  beat  King; 
Busby  beat  Smith ;  Kennedy  beat  Lamb ;  Cone  beat 
Ragland;  Long  beat  Strong  by  default;  Chambers 
beat  Hunter;  Spence  beat  Royall.  In  the  second 
round  Chambers  beat  Long.  Play  should  be  finished 
this  week. — Tar  Heel,  October  10th.

The  Medical  School  Finds  a  Permanent  Home 
Caldwell  Hall,  the  new  home  of  the  University 
Medical  School,  whose  formal  dedicatory  exercises 
on  the  evening  of  May  8th  called  to  the  University 
a  large  group  of  distinguished  physicians  and  edu- 
cators, was  completed  in  the  summer  and  is  now  being 
found  by  the  test  of  daily  use  to  be  one  of  the  most 
thoroughly  equipped  medical  laboratories  in  the 
South.  It  represents,  in  arrangement  and  equipment, 
the  most  careful  thought  of  the  Medical  faculty,  and 
stands  as  the  first  building  provided  for  by  the  gener- 
ous appropriation  of  the  legislature  of  1911,  fo'r  per- 
manent improvements.  It  has  been  completed  and 
equipped  at  a  cost  of  $50,000  and  makes  possible  a 
far  better  quality  of  work  on  the  part  of  the  Medical 
School  than  formerly. 

The  naw  building  is  located  on  the  south  side  "of 
Cameron  avenue  opposite  Davie  Hall.  Facing  m 
the  front  wall  of  the  main  building  is  on  a  line  with 
the  rear  of  the  Carr  building.  This  location  secures 
the  north  light  in  all  of  the  laboratories  used  for 
microscopic  work. 

In  style  of  architecture  the  building  approaches  the 
classical  Renaissance  and  consists  of  a  main  building

and  a  wing,  each  of  two  stories.  The  absence  of 
ornamentation,  its  simplicity  of  design,  and  the  large 
number  of  windows  necessary  for  the  proper  light- 
ing of  the  various  laboratories  give  prominence  to  the 
impression  of  utility  and  in  this  one  finds  its  beauty. 

In  planning  and  equipping  this  building  the  author- 
ities have  had  in  mind  the  needs  of  the  profession  of 
the  State  not  only  in  the  proper  training  of  those  upon 
whom  the  responsibility  of  the  health  of  the  people  of 
the  State  will  ultimately  fall,  but  in  providing  an  op- 
portunity for  those  now  engaged  in  active  practice  to 
pursue  any  line  of  investigation  in  the  field  of  experi- 
mental medicine  to  which  their  interest  or  fancy  may 
incline  them.  The  Medical  faculty,  individually  and 
collectively,  will  welcome  the  opportunity  to  assist 
them  in  any  way  in  its  power  and  cordially  invites 
them  to  use  the  building  for  such  purposes  as  they  may 
wish.  

Gifts  to  the  Library 

The  Library  has  recently  been  the  recipient  of  a 
number  of  gifts  which  have  added  materially  to  the 
value  of  its  collection  of  books  and  newspapers  relating 
to  North  Carolina.  Among  these,  of  which  mention 
has  not  been  made  earlier  in  other  University  pub- 
lications, are  the  loan  and  gifts  of  Mr.  W.  Stamps 
Howard  and  Mrs.  John  L.  Bridgers,  both  of  Tarboro. 

Titles  not  formerly  found  in  the  Library  have  been 
added  as  follows :

lications printed  by  George  Howard  between  the 
years  1824  and  1847;  volumes  2-1 1  of  the  Primitive 
Baptist,  published  in  Tarborough  from  1837  to  1847;

cer's  Parliament  of  Poulcs."  Dr.  Manly  is  the  author 
of  "Specimens  of  Pre-Shakesperean  Drama,"  "The 
Lost  Leaf  of  Piers  the  Plowman,"  and  many  articles 
in  philological  journals.  He  has  edited  "Manly's 
Poetry"  and  "Manly's  Prose,"  and  is  known  by  Eng- 
lish students  to  be  one  of  America's  most  scholarly 
and  stimulating  teachers  of  English. 

Apart  from  the  pleasure  which  it  gave  those  who 
heard  him,  Dr.  Manly's  visit  had  a  further  meaning 
for  the  University.  It  helped  to  define  and  intensify 
the  spirit  of  scholarly  investigation  which  is  growing 
at  the  University.  \\  ith  the  development  of  the  special 
seminar  and  graduate  courses,  and  the  steady  strength- 
ening of  the  library,  the  atmosphere  for  scholarly  en- 
deavor has  deepened.  Dr.  Manly's  coming  gave  fur- 
ther expression  of  the  vitality  of  this  atmosphere.

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Starts  Off  Well 
The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association  has  begun 
its  work  this  Fall  with  bright  prospects.  The  Com- 
mittee on  New  Students  sent  out  letters  and  hand- 
books in  the  Summer  to  over  three  hundred  high 
school  students  in  the  State  who  were  prepared  to 
enter  college.  Upon  arrival  at  University  Station. 
practically  every  new  man  was  met  by  a  committee 
from  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  taken  to  the  building  on  the 
campus,  helped  to  register  and  get  located.  Over 
four  hundred  students  were  out  at  College  Night 
where  the  various  phases  of  University  life  were  pre 
sented.  Immediately  after  this  an  open  reception  was 
given  in  the  Association  house.  This  was  largely  at- 
tended, especially  by  the  new  men.  The  Self  Help 
Committee  has  secured  several  positions  for  students 
who  are  partially  working  their  way  through  college. 
Two  hundred  and   ten  students  have  been  enrolled  .1- 

membei  of  the  Association.  A  complete  canvass  of 
all  the  students  has  nol  yei  been  made.     It  is  hoped 

that  at  least  four  hundred  students  will  become  mem- 
bers. After  an  effective  Bible  study  rally  two  bun- 
dled and  twenty  students  signed  up  for  the  Bible 
classes.

"Marse"  Jesse  Jones  Passes  at  Kanuga 
"Marse"  Jesse  Jones,  caterer  of  Chapel  Hill,  and 
many  years  head  waiter  at  Pickard's  Hotel,  the  Uni- 
versity Inn.  and  manager,  more  recently,  of  his  own 
establishment,  the  "Coop,"  died  suddenly  at  Kanuga 
Club  Thursday.  August   ist.  1912. 


"Marsb"  Jessb 

The  story  of  "-Marse"  Jesse's  life  at  the  University 
needs  no  telling.  His  "boys,"  as  he  called  the  students 
upon  whom  he  waited,  and  hundreds  of  friends 
throughout  the  State,  knew  him  too  well  to  care  for  the 
details.  They  have  an  impression  of  him  in  the  large — 
his  faultless  tact,  his  honest,  open  smile,  his  quaint, 
old-timey  defference — and  they  know  that  at  the  sud- 
den hour  of  his  passing  he  was  loyal,  true.  God  rest 
him  from  his  labors.

BY  WAY  OF  INTRODUCTION 

In  establishing  The  Alumni  Review  the  General 
Alumni  Association  of  the  University  is  following  a 
natural  course.  The  membership  of  the  Association  is 
large.  It  is  growing.  The  interests  of  the  University 
are  varied.  Its  activities  are  extending  in  all  direc- 
tions and  its  organization  is  becoming  more  and  more 
complex.  Without  some  medium  of  connection  be- 
tween the  alumni  and  the  University,  such  as  may  be 
had  through  an  official  organ,  the  interests  of  the 
alumni  and  the  University  cannot  be  properly  related 
and  the  University  will   suiter  accordingly. 

Several  objects,  naturally,  have  been  kept  in  view 
by  the  alumni  in  beginning  this  publication.  The  first 
of  these  is  the  carrying  of  news  from  the  University 
to  its  scattered  sons.  The  University  is  constantly 
working  and  every  alumnus  is  interested  in  what  it 
is  doing.  Its  tasks,  the  problems  which  confront  it, 
the  record  of  its  achievement,  the  ideals  by  which  it 
is  guided,  and  the  hope  which  it  cherishes  for  future 
service  make  an  irresistible  appeal.  It  is  proposed 
that  The  Review  shall  carry  this  information  to  the 
former  student. 

The  University,  on  its  part,  delights  in  the  story 
of  the  success  of  its  sons.  It  is  stimulated  to  greater 
service  to  the  present  by  learning  of  the  benefits  which 
it  has  conferred  in  the  past.  Thus  joy  and  inspira- 
tion may  be  brought  to  it  through  notices  about  the 
alumni  which  will  appear  in  The  Review. 


University  men  need  to  hear  about  each  other.  What 
one's  college  mates  are  doing  incites  one  to  larger 
endeavor.  Notes  about  the  old  boys  call  back  the 
names  of  friends  whom  the  press  and  hurry  of  the 
years  shut  out  of  one's  thoughts.  By  giving  infor- 
mation about  classes  and  individuals,  The  Review  is 
to  help  every  alumnus  feel  that  instead  of  being  an 
isolated  individual,  he  is  one  of  a  large,  hopeful,  effi- 
cient body  of  men,  with  whom  he  can  work  to  high 
common  ends. 

The  alumni  heretofore  have  been  bound  together 
loosely.  On  account  of  this  the  University  has  had 
to  work  single  handed  without  the  large  united  sup- 
port which  an  organized,  informed,  purposeful  body 
of  alumni  could  and  should  give  it.  To  be  sure  it 
has  always  had  friends.  It  has  never  called  on  its 
sons  for  help  in  vain.  It  has  realized  many  of  its 
highest  ideals.  But  it  has  lacked  what  it  most  of  all 
needed — united  support.  Here  is  to  be  the  real  field 
of  The  Review.  The  alumni  assign  to  it  as  its  chief 
duty  the  task  of  uniting  all  the  sons  of  the  University 
in  a  common  effort  to  bring  into  being  the  Greater 
University. 

How  The  Review  is  to  effect  this  is  the  problem. 
Different  methods  for  its  solution  have  been  proposed. 
But  there  is  unanimity  in  the  one  point  that  it  must 
be  a  medium  through  which  all  the  alumni  can — and 
do — speak.  To  this  end  it  is  open  to  all  who  would 
see  the  University  go  forward  in  its  work.  Contribu- 
tions on  the  more  serious  problems  and  work  of  the 
University,  letters,  accounts  of  alumni  meetings,  an- 
nouncements of  marriages,  births,  and  deaths,  per- 
sonalia and  notes  of  all  kinds  relating  to  the  alumni 
and  the  University  are  wanted,  and  all  class  officials, 
especially  class  secretaries  and  secretaries  of  local 
alumni  associations,  and  all  individual  alumni  are  re- 
quested to  keep  The  Review  informed  about  Uni- 
versity men.  If  all  work  together,  the  result  desired 
will  be  achieved. 


The  University  of  the  olden  days,  the  achic  i 
ments  of  its  instructors  and  sons  past  and  present, 
the  giving  of  honor  where  honor  is  due  to  those  who 
have  won  distinction  within  the  University  and  with- 
out, will  receive  emphasis  as  one  of  the  special  feat- 
ures of  each  number  of  The  Review.  In  a  history 
so  long  and  a  record  of  achievements  so  noble,  the 
difficulty  will  lie  in  making  the  choice  of  event  or  pet- 
son.  In  the  present  number,  however,  death  has  done 
the  kindly  service  of  choosing,  and  it  but  remains  for 
The  Review  to  pay  loving  tribute  to  two  men  whose

long  participation  in  the  affairs  of  the  University  has 
made  them  intimately  known  and  honored  by  every 
alumnus  of  the  past  quarter  of  a  century— Colonel 
Thomas  S.  Kenan  and  Professor  Thomas  Hume. 

Colonel  Kenan's  death  occurred  in  Raleigh  on  De- 
cember 23,  191 1,  and  in  his  death  every  son  of  the 
University  who  in  the  past  forty  years  has  returned 
to  commencement,  has  lost  a  personal  friend.  The 
quantity  and  quality  of  his  service  to  the  University 
are  written  of  in  this  issue  by  one  who  knew  him  in- 
timately and  may  be  set  as  a  standard  by  which  other 
sons  may  measure  their  work  of  loyalty  and  love 
for  their  alma  mater. 

The  press  notices  of  July  16th  announced  the  death 
at  his  home  in  Chapel  Hill  on  the  preceding  day  of 
Dr.  Thomas  Hume,  Professor  Emeritus  of  English 
Literature  in  the  University. 

Dr.  Hume's  work  for  the  University  and  the  State, 
beginning  in  1885  and  ending  in  1907,  is  too  well 
known  to  require  recounting  here.  The  ripeness  of 
his  scholarship,  the  fineness  of  his  spirit,  the  rareness 
of  his  enthusiasm  and  ability  as  an  interpreter  of  the 
beautiful,  the  sweet  charm  of  his  manner,  his  gift  of 
sympathy  for  men,  his  giving  of  his  whole  self  to 
task  or  person — these  are  worthy  of  loving  commemo- 
ration. 

In  an  appreciation  by  Dean  E.  K.  Graham,  in  the 
North  Carolina  Review  of  February,  191 1,  such  a 
commemoration  is  given.  Attention  is  directed  to  it 
as  reprinted  elsewhere  in  this  number. 


diets  his  success  at  his  alma  mater,  as  enthusiastic 
teacher  and  constructive  gospeller  of  uplift. 


The  date  of  the  unveiling  of  the  monument  to  be 
erected  in  honor  of  the  sons  of  the  University  who 
went  into  the  Confederate  service  has  been  postponed 
until  May  10th,  1913,  at  which  time  every  alumnus  is 
urged  to  be  present  to  have  a  part  in  the  commemo- 
rative exercises.  The  following  transcript  from  the 
Secretary's  notes  will  indicate  how  fitting  it  is  for 
the  University  to  place  this  permanent  memorial  on 
the  campus :  "Out  of  approximately  2,000  alumni  of 
the  University  in  1861,  a  total  of  1,484  were  in  the 
service.  Of  these  18  were  generals,  81  colonels,  44 
lieutenant-colonels,  71  majors,  296  captains,  186  lieu- 
tenants, 84  surgeons,  14  chaplains,  27  adjutants-gen- 
eral and  adjutants,  634  privates,  310  were  killed  in 
battle  or  died  from  wounds." 


Dr.  Edwin  Mims,  sometime  Professor  of  English 
Literature,  and  during  the  closing  months  of  his  stay, 
head   of  the  English   Department   here,   has   recently 
taken  up  his  new  duties  as  head  of  the  English  De- 
partment  at  his  alma  mater,   Vanderbilt   University, 
Tennessee.     The   qualities   which   gave   impetus   and 
success  to  his  work  here  are  qualities  which  warrant 
his  success  in  the  educational  field  anywhere  in  the 
South.    The  University  of  North  Carolina  recognized 
in  Dr.  Minis  the  newer  type  of  Southern  scholar,  de 
voting  his  energies   and   his   enthusiasms   to   stimuTi 
tion  of  literary  effort,  and     celebration     of     literary 
achievement  in  the  South  of  present  and  of  past.  Cer 
tain  unfilled  fields  of  Southern  life  and  literature,  rich 
though  neglected,  brought  forth  a  fair  harvest  through 
his  endeavor.     Quickening  signs  of  material  and  spir- 
itual progress  in  the  South  attained  fresher  and  larger 
significance  through  the  medium  of  his  voice  and  pen. 
The   University  of   North   Carolina   wishes   and   pre- 


1  ).\e  of  the  tasks  to  which  the  Association  and  the 
University  should  address  themselves  anew — the  work 
has  been  done  in  part — is  the  compilation  of  a  General 
Catalogue  of  the  University.  Not  having  such  a  cata- 
logue at  hand  The  Review  begs  the  indulgence  of 
those  to  whom  wrong  class  numbers  may  have  been 
assigned,  and  requests  all  those  who  send  in  notes  to 
be  careful  to  give  the  proper  class  numerals.  Such 
a  catalogue,  with  full  information  concerning  all  ma- 
triculates, instructors,  and  officers,  to  date,  is  very 
much  to  be  desired,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  pro- 
vision may  be  made  by  the  proper  authorities  for  its 
early  issuance. 


The  Review  wishes  reports  from  every  local  alumni 
association  meeting  held  October  12th  or  at  any  other 
time.     It  also  wishes  to  complete  the  li^t  of  local  a: 
ciation  presidents  and  secretaries.     Please  send  in  tins 

information   to   the   Editor. 


The  Review  is  the  magazine  of  the  alumni,  and 

every  alumnus  should  take  an  active  interest  in  it,  not 
merely  by  subscribing,  but  by  assisting  in  many  other 
ways-  and  the  >aK-  of  advertising  space  will  In-  of  as 
much  benefit  as  anything  else  jusl  .it  present.  Write

AT   CHARLOTTE 

Love  for  Carolina,  pride  in  her  achievements  and  stead- 
fast loyalty  to  the  old  institution  found  eloquent  and  feel- 
ing expression  in  Charlotte's  celebration  of  University  Day, 
1912.  The  observance  assumed  the  form  of  a  banquet  from 
7:30  to  11:15  Saturday  night  in  Shrine  Hall,  Piedmont 
Building.  President  John  A.  Parker  of  the  Mecklenburg 
Alumni  Association  presided  over  the  gathering  of  forty 
former  students,  young  and  old.  In  the  genuineness  of 
Carolina  spirit  that  prevailed  and  in  the  intense  purpose- 
fulness  that  characterized  every  speech,  the  occasion  was 
one  of  the  most  successful  of  recent  years.  The  principal 
thought  that  occupied  the  minds  of  the  banqueters  was 
this,  "How  may  I  most  effectively  serve  the  University?" 

When  a  toast  had  been  drunk  to  the  alma  mater,  Toast- 
master  Parker  expressed  the  regret  of  all  that  Professor 
H.  H.  Williams  had  not  been  able  to  accept  the  invitation 
tendered  him  to  be  present  as  guest  of  honor.  Mr.  Parker 
remarked  in  this  connection  that  the  institution  should 
more  generally  follow  the  policy  of  sending  out  its  best 
men  to  give  the  alumni  the  view  of  the  inside  workings 
of  the  University  which  is   otherwise  unobtainable. 

A  quartet  composed  of  Manlius  Orr,  H.  C.  Jones,  John  A. 
Parker  and  B.  S.  Drane  sang,  "Hark  the  Sound  of  Tar 
Heel  Voices,"  and  the  diners  joined  in  singing  "I'm  a  Tar 
Heel  Born  and  a  Tar  Heel  Bred,"  in  a  manner  that  made 
the  hall  reverberate  with  the  old-time  ring. 

Mr.  Paul  C.  Whitlock  was  the  first  speaker  on  the  brief 
program.  He  told  of  the  achievements  of  the  University 
boys  from  Mecklenburg  and  now  resident  here.  As  sum- 
marizing this,  he  read  the  names  and  professions  of  201 
enrolled  on  the  county  association's  books.  The  list  in- 
cludes 45  lawyers  and  15  doctors. 

"If  there  were  any  need  for  evidence  that  the  University 
teaches  her  sons  high  ideals,  right  living  and  breadth  of 
view,  these  men  and  the  lives  they  are  living  furnish  suffi- 
cient proof,"  said  Mr.  Whitlock,  amid  applause. 

Mr.  Robert  S.  Hutchison  explained  the  purpose  of  The 
Alumni  Review,  the  first  number  of  which  is  soon  to  appear, 
published  by  the  former  students.  He  told  of  the  effective 
ness  of  such  a  publication  in  the  case  of  his  own  class. 
The  new  magazine  is  to  be  an  open  forum  in  which  the 
university's  sons  may  discuss  freely  any  questions  grow- 
ing out  of  its  life.  In  this  way  the  Institution  will  receive 
the  benefit  of  the  viewpoint  not  only  of  those  who  are  inti- 
mately connected  with  it  but  of  the  man  who  is  more 
closely  identified  with  the  outside  world,  ami  views  mat 
ters  differently.  By  a  comparison  of  views  from  all  angles, 
a  more  perfectly  balanced  decision  may  bo  reached. 

Various  ones  were  called  on  by  their  Fellow-guests  to 
speak  and  these  did  so  briefly.  Those  who  were  present 
were  Messrs.  Alexander  Graham,  who  has  never  been 
known  to  miss  such  an  occasion,  and  who  wan  applauded 
when  he  entered  the  hall;  William  F.  Harding,  Dr.  E.  C. 
Register,  Dr.  H.  F.  Leinbach,  J.  II.  McLain,  J.  L.  DeLaney,

AT  RALEIGH 

The  Wake  alumni  cerebated  University  Day  last 
evening  hearing  the  capital  address  of  Dean  Edward  K. 
Graham  and  electing  officers  for  the  ensuing  year. 

Pretty  nearly  half  the  Wake  county  association  attended 
and  Giersch's  dining  room  was  filled.  Dr.  J.  M.  Fleming, 
president  of  the  local  organization,  presided  and  Col.  J. 
Bryan  Grimes  was  toastmaster. 

The  banquet  began  at  8:30  o'clock  and  continued  until 
11:20.  During  that  period,  a  course  dinner  was  served  and 
the  chairs  were  pushed  back  for  the  oratory.  Dean  Graham 
was  graciously  introduced   and  often  applauded. 

But  little  discussion  of  hazing  took  place  around  the  ban- 
quet board.  Dean  Graham  took  high  ground.  He  stood 
by  the  institution  and  called  upon  the  alumni  to  support  it. 
There  were  references  to  the  recent  tragedy  by  several 
speakers.  The  alumni  were  sympathetic  with  their  guest. 
Short  speeches  were  made  by  Dr.  J.  Y.  Joyner,  Dr.  Chas. 
Lee  Smith,  Judge  R.  W.  Winston,  Prof.  Z.  V.  Judd,  A.  B. 
Andrews,  Jr.,  R.  D.  W.  Connor,  W.  B.  Snow  and  Colonel 
Alex  Feild. 

The  governor's  private  secretary  expressed  the  regrets 
of  Governor  Kitchin  that  the  chief  executive  could  not  be 
present  to  attend  with  the  Wake  alumni  and  to  express  his 
sympathy  with  the  University  in  its  recent  trying  time. 

Toastmaster  Grimes  then  corrected  an  impression  that 
has  gone  abroad  that  the  trustees  of  the  University,  repre- 
sented by  the  executive  committee,  had  voted  down  a  reso- 
lution calling  upon  the  State  to  pass  an  anti-hazing  law. 

"No  such  resolution  was  offered,"  Colonel  Grimes  said, 
"and  no  such  was  voted  down."  There  have  been 
articles  written  and  printed  which  made  these  charges 
against  the  University,  but  they  have  not  been  contra- 
dicted.   They  were  allowed  to  go. 

In  the  range  of  the  speeches,  athletics  was  discussed  a 
great  deal.  There  was  a  little  amusement  at  some  of  the 
speeches  that  deplore  the  annual  Virginia  disasters.  But 
the  alumni  quickly  voted  down  any  proposition  to  hire  ath- 
letes to  buck  Virginia,  It  was  pointed  out  that  a  trained 
student  body,  one  taught  to  strive  for  positions  in  an  open 
field,  is  infinitely  more  important  than  a  hired  band  of  pro- 
fessionals who  might  defeat  an  ancient  rival. 

With  Dean  Graham  and  Dr.  Chas.  Lee  Smith,  who  were 


guests,  the  following  members  of  the  association  were 
present:  C.  A.  Shore,  R.  D.  W.  Connor,  F.  A.  Cox,  A.  L. 
Cox,  Geo.  McNider,  L.  B.  Lockhardt,  Eugene  Howie,  H.  N. 
Gaddy,  Joseph  B.  Cheshre,  Jr.,  W.  C.  Harris,  Ed  S.  Battle, 
Albert  S.  Root,  Hubert  B.  Haywood,  John  A.  Ferrall,  A.  B. 
Andrews,  Jr.,  C.  K.  Burgess,  John  B.  Stronach,  Clyde 
Douglass,  C.  O.  Abernathy,  Wm.  B.  Snow,  A.  J.  Feild,  Z.  V. 
Judd,  R.  W.  Winston,  Sr.,  J.  Y.  Joyner,  J.  Martin  Fleming, 
J.  Bryan  Grimes,  Perrin  Busbee,  E.  E.  Sams,  S.  H.  Farabee, 
P.  E.  Seagle,  C.  G.  Keeble,  B.  Grimes  Cowper,  Jr.,  Alex 
Stronach. 

The  election  of  officers  resulted  in  the  choosing  of  Alex 
B.  Andrews,  Jr.,  president;  John  B.  Stronach,  vice-presi- 
dent; and  Joseph  B.  Cheshire,  Jr.,  secretary.  Mr.  Graham 
took  the  chair  at  the  close  of  the  meeting  and  named  a 
committee  for  work. 

A  committee  composed  of  Messrs.  Seagle,  Busbee  and 
Albert  Cox,  was  appointed  to  investigate  the  athletic 
material  in  the  high  schools.  With  this  done,  the  alumni 
adjourned.— News  and  Observer,  Oct.  13. 

AT   NEW   YORK 
So  successful   was   the    1911    affair    at    Reisenweber's, 
Fifty-eighth  street  and  Eighth  avenue,  that  the  committee 
on  arrangements  of  the  New  York  city  association  of  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina  alumni  selected  the  same  place 
for  this  year's  feast  of  the  faithful.    Again  Judge  Augustus 
Van  Wyck  presided  and  kept  things  lively  with  his  ready 
wit  and  his  store  of  amusing  reminiscences.    George  Gor- 
don Battle,  Dr.  Charles  Baskerville,  the  Rev.  St.  Clair  Hes- 
ter and  Frank  Mebane  led  in  the  speechmaking.     Francis 
A.  Gudger,  the  humorist  of  the  New  York  city  association, 
rendered   a   most  amusing   imitation   of  an   address   by   a 
statesman  whose  diction  and  manner  were  familiar  to  all 
present.     The  evening  was  given  over  to  fun-making  and 
good-fellowship,  and  there  was  little  disposition  to  touch 
upon  serious  things.     In  his  remarks,  Mr.  Battle  gave  ex- 
pression to  an  opinion  that  has  been  embraced  by  great 
numbers  of  alumni  of  all  institutions  of  learning  in  recent 
years,  namely,  that  there  is  grave  doubt  as  to  the  useful- 
ness of  the  Greek  letter  fraternities  in  college  life.     When 
he  was  at  Chapel  Hill  in  the  early  eighties,  Mr.  Battle  said. 
and  there   were  no  fraternities— except  ore   or   two   "sub 
rosa"— there  was  a  solidarity  about  the  student  body  that 
seemed,  from  what  he  could  observe,  to  have   been    lost 
in  more  recent  times. 

Judge  Van  Wyck  recalled  the  old  practice  of  leaving  the 
managament  of  the  library  to  the  two  literary  societies. 
Hardly  anybody  went  through  college  in  his  time,  said  the 
Judge,  without  serving  at  some  period  of  his  course  as 
librarian  or  assistant  librarian.  This  made  the  students 
"rub  up  against  books"  and  made  them  learn  to  love  books. 
But  the  librarians  were  not  always  well  posted  on  the 
volumes  put  under  their  charge. 

"I  walked  into  the  Di  Society  librarv  one  day"  said 
Judge  Van  Wyck,  "and  found  a  friend  of  mine  acting  as 
librarian.  'Jim,'  I  said,  'get  me  "Prometheus  Unbound  " 
will  you?  He  turned  to  me  and  said  'Can't  get  it  here  Gua 
cause  the  Di  Society  don't  keep  no  unbound  books-thevro 
all  bound  and  in  good  condition.'  " 

Present  at  the  dinner,  besides  Judge  Van  Wvck  Mr 
Battle,  Dr.  Baskerville,  Rev.  St.  Clair  Hester,  Mr.  Mebane

AT   WINSTON-SALEM 

Featured  by  a  magnificent  address  by  Prof.  W.  S.  Ber- 
nard of  the  Greek  department  in  which  he  told  of  the  ex- 
cellent work  that  is  being  done  at  the  University,  the  local 
alumni  of  the  University  of  North  Carolina  held  a  delight- 
ful banquet  at  the  Zinzendorf  last  night  to  celebrate  the 
119th  birthday  of  the  institution.  A  goodly  number  of 
alumni  attended,  and  the  occasion  was  a  success  in  every 
w  ay. 

The  president  of  the  Forsyth  county  association,  Mr.  H. 
E.  Rondthaler,  acted  as  toastmaster,  and  during  the  even- 
ing delightful  music  was  furnished  by  Lajoie's  orchestra. 

Greetings  were  read  from  the  Forsyth  County  Club  at 
Chapel  Hill,  the  greetings  being  signed  by  D.  L.  Rights, 
M.  R.  Dunnagan  and  George  R.  Holton,  and  also  from  Dr. 
Archibald   Henderson  of  the   Mathematics  department. 

Mr.  D.  L.  Rights,  who  is  at  home  for  a  few  days  from  the 
Hill,  brought,  also,  verbal  greetings  from  the  Forsyth 
county  students. 

After  Mr.  Rights'  talk  the  alumni  sang  "Hail  to  U.  N.  C." 
This  was  followed  by  a  short  talk  by  Solicitor  S.  Porter 
Graves  of  Mt.  Airy,  who  was  a  guest  of  honor. 

Prof.  Bernard,  in  his  speech,  paid  particular  attention  to 
the  hazing  situation  at  Chapel  Hill,  showing  that  hazing 
was,  and  had  been  for  some  time,  steadily  on  the  decrease, 
and  that  this  year  there  had  been,  so  far  as  the  faculty 
had  been  able  to  learn,  not  a  single  case  of  vicious  hazing, 
including  the  Rand  case.  Prof.  Bernard  told  of  the  Rand 
investigation  and  of  the  investigation  of  the  "rough  house" 
which  happened  last  year,  which  investigations  resulted  in 
the  expulsion  or  suspension  of  14  students. 

Prof.  Bernard,  in  concluding  his  remarks,  told  of  the 
estimation  in  which  the  University  is  held  among  educa- 
tional experts  of  the  country,  and  he  quoted  Dr.  Babcock. 
one  of  the  country's  greatest  experts,  as  placing  only  three 
of  the  Southern  universities  in  the  first  class.  These  are 
the  University  of  North  Carolina,  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia and  Vanderbilt.     Vanderbilt   is  placed  in  this   class 


because  of  its  magnificent  equipment,  Virginia  because  of 
her  great  postgraduate  departments,  and  North  Carolina 
because  it  is  doing  more  thoroughly  than  any  other  insti- 
tution in  the  South  that  which  is  the  peculiar  function  of 
a  State  institution — educating  the  undergraduate  students.

AT  DURHAM 

Thirty  members  of  the  local  alumni  association  of  the 
University  of  North  Carolina  gathered  in  the  Commercial 
Club  rooms  tonight  and  celebrated  the  one  hundred  and 
nineteenth  anniversary  of  the  opening  of  that  institution. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  University  Day  fell  on  Saturday 
and  many  alumni  were  busy  or  out  of  town,  no  elaborate 
program  was  prepared,  and  a  smoker  was  the  only  cele- 
bration planned. 

Speeches  were  made  by  Major  W.  A.  Guthrie,  Victor  S. 
Bryant,  and  ex-Judge  J.  S.  Manning,  each  emphasizing  the 
hopeful  outlook  for  the  future  of  the  University. 

A  committee,  consisting  of  W.  J.  Brodgen,  T.  B.  Pierce, 
and  T.  C.  Worth,  was  appointed  to  send  a  telegram  of  con- 
gratulations to  President  Venable,  assuring  him  of  the  sup- 
port of  the  local  alumni   association. 

Another  committee  of  five  members  was  appointed  to 
investigate  the  methods  and  plans  whereby  local  alumni 
associations  may  be  more  closely  welded  together  and 
work  more  for  the  common  good  of  the  University. 

Officers  for  the  coming  year  were  elected  as  follows: 
W.  D.  Carmichael,  president;  W.  M.  Parsley,  vice-presi- 
dent; James  S.  Manning,  Jr.,  secretary  and  treasurer. —

A  meeting  of  University  alumni  living  in  Creensboro  was 
held  Saturday  night,  October  12.  in  the  parlor  of  the  Mer- 
chants' and  Manufacturers'  Club,  there  being  in  attendance 
an  enthusiastic  body  composed  of  both  old  and  young 
alumni  of  the  institution.  The  meeting  was  in  the  nature 
of  a  smoker  and  there  was  no  definite  program,  However, 
there  was  a  hearty  and  general  discussion  of  the  Univer- 
sity, of  conditions  at  Chapel  Mill,  and  of  the  needs  of  the 
institution,  both  old  and  young  showing  an  unusual  earnest- 
ness in  considering  the  problems  which  were  opened  be- 
fore the  meeting — the  uncommon  problems  of  the  Univer- 
sity at  the  present  time. 

The  alumni  elected  the  following  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year:  Clem  G.  Wright,  president;  Carter  Dalton,  vlce- 
president;  and  Marmaduke  Robins,  secretary-treasurer. 
The  meeting  was  adjourned  with  college  songs  and  yells. —

OBITUARIES 


1853 


JOHN  DOUGLAS  TAYLOR 

John  Douglas  Taylor,  A.B.,  1853,  was  born  in  Wilming- 
ton, March  24,  1831.  After  graduation  from  the  Univer- 
sity, he  was  a  rice  planter  in  Brunswick  County.  In 
1860  he  was  elected  to  the  State  Senate  and  served  until 
January  1882,  when  he  became  captain  of  the  Brunswick 
Artillery  and  was  stationed  at  Fort  Caswell.  In  the  same 
year  he  was  elected  major  of  the  36th  Regiment  and  in 
1863  became  lieutenant  colonel.  He  was  in  command  at 
Fort  Campbell  until  the  fall  of  Fort  Fisher  after  which 
he  served  under  General  Hagood  and  was  present  in  the 
engagements  at  Fort  Anderson,  Town  Creek,  Kinston,  and 
Pentonville,  losing  his  left  arm  in  the  last-mentioned 
battle. 

He  was  a  planter  after  the  war  for  some  years  but, 
having  moved  to  Wilmington,  he  was  elected  city  clerk 
in  1877  and  also  served  for  some  years  as  city  treasurer. 
In  1890  he  was  elected  clerk  of  the  Superior  Court  and  filled 
that  position  until  his  death  which  occurred  on  May  21, 
1912. 

He  was  a  man  of  splendidly  forceful  character,  but 
was  at  the  same  lime  possessed  of  a  gentle  and  lovable 
nature  and  a  delightful  courtesy.  No  man  in  Wilming- 
ton was  held  in  more  universal  affection  and  esteem. 


1855 


EX-JUDGK   WILLIAM  J.   MONTGOMERY 

Tn  the  death  of  Ex-Judge  William  J.  Montgomery,  of 
Concord,  on  June  28th,  the  University  lost  a  most  hon- 
ored son. 

Born  August  14,  1834,  in  Montgomery  County,  Judge 
Montgomery  entered  the  University  at  an  early  age  and 
graduated  in  1855.  In  1858  he  received  his  license  to 
practice  law  after  studying  under  Judge  Pearson  and 
located  in  Albemarle  for  the  practice  of  his  profession. 
He  entered  the  Confederate  service  in  1861  as  captain 
and  was  soon  promoted  to  the  rank  of  major  and  later 
lieutenant-colonel  In  lst',2  he  resigned  his  post  in  the 
army  and  accepted  the  position  of  solicitor  of  Stanly 
County. 

In  1874  Judge  Montgomery  was  elected  on  the  Demo- 
cratic ticket  as  solicitor  of  the  twelfth  (then  sixth)  ju- 
dicial district,  in  which  position  he  served  with  marked 
ability  for  eight  years.  In  1S85  he  was  appointed  Judge 
of  the  Superior  Court  by  Governor  Scales  and  was  elected 
to  succeed  himself  in  1888.  In  1889  he  resigned  from 
the  bench  and  devoted  himself  in  Concord,  where  he  had 
moved  in  1886,  to  the  building  up  of  a  large  practice.  At 
the  time  of  his  death  few  men  in  the  State  enjoyed  a 
reputation  for  wider  knowledge  of  the  law  or  greater 
ability  in  pleading  cases  than  he. 

Judge  Montgomery  was  twice  married.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  three  children  from  the  first  union  and  by  his 
second  wife  and  six  children  from  the  second  union. 

As  a  citizen  and  as  a  member  of  the  Methodist  church. 
Judge  Montgomery  was  not  to  be  classed  as  one  of  the 
old  school.  "He  was  rather,"  to  quote  from  editorial 
comment  upon  his  passing,  "representative  of  advanced 
thought  in  law  and  social  problems,  taking  heed  of  bet- 
terment conditions  for  the  future,  rather  than  dwelling  in 
the  present  or  past.  Anticipating  many  of  the  moral 
questions  which  sprang  up  during  his  later  life  he  had 
made  himself  in  a  quiet  but  forceful  way.  a  potent  fac- 
tor in  the  welfare  of  the  community  of  which  he  was  a 
part.  His  influences  were  always  directed  toward  benefi- 
cence and  uplift,  and  closing  his  career,  he  gave  up  a 
life  the  record  of  which  can  be  cherished  with  honor 
by   his   posterity,"
