Contact and Guidance
Is accepted by the University of North Carolina as a
definite obligation to be met in the case of every student,
and its complete achievement is provided for in a systematic
manner. It is particularly during the first year in college
that a student should not be left to the caprice of fate.
The paths of collegiate life are strewn with human
wreckage, and no institution has done its full duty until it
has provided every possible agency to stimulate, strengthen,
and guide young men and women as they first embark as
"captains of their own souls and masters of their own
destinies."
Under the guidance of the Dean of Students ( whose
office has a staff of three men), assisted by the Department
of Psychology, every student who matriculates is carefully
studied, and then stimulated and guided by the Dean, the
V. M. C. A. with its two fulltime Secretaries, and fifty
members of the Faculty who have voluntarily arranged to
give a certain amount of their time to this important work.
The University is the only Southern institution that has
organized this personnel department ; and one of about
twenty in the entire country.

"A Magic Carpet Back to Undergraduate Days"
To the six thousand odd alumni of the University
who have received at least three calls from the Alumni
office for the filling out of blanks giving information
about themselves and who, to date, have failed to com-
ply with the request, The Review wishes to say sev-
eral things.
The first of these is that the University of North
Carolina, with a history of one hundred and thirty
years, is one of the very few institutions in the country
that do not have a complete, up-to-date catalogue of all
of their students. Thirty-five years ago Mrs. Cornelia
Phillips Spencer brought out a very limited catalogue,
and at earlier dates the Di and Phi Societies published
lists of their members. But for the last thirty-five
years, nine college generations have gone unrecorded
in print and now that a serious effort is being made
by the Alumni office to publish an adequate catalogue,
two-thirds of the present body of alumni have not
taken the trouble to fill out the questionnaire.
The second is that to have failed in this respect and
to this degree is nothing short of a shame. It may be
true that the questionnaire is long, that it does not fit
the exact case of any specific individual, and that some
of the questions may seem absolutely silly. But be that
as it may, an answer could be given in every instance
which would at least contain the principal facts con-
cerning the alumnus in question.
The third is that failure to cooperate in this plan
defeats the object of the catalogue. Obviously the
record should be complete and kept so by revision at
least every five years. And it cannot be complete with
information concerning two-thirds of the alumni left
out.
The fourth is that the alumni who are withholding
information are depriving others of a most genuine
satisfaction ; for such a catalogue which calls back to
memory the names and faces of campus associates who
have passed this way will prove to be to all alumni
"an intimate possession, a storehouse of information
and a magic carpet back to undergraduate days and
the memories of friends and incidents treasured in
after years."

Does the Snow Lie Deep?
When this Review reaches local and class secretaries,
the snow may be lying deep on the ground, but even
at that, there is immediate work ahead if the programs
of local associations and of reunion classes are to be
carried out satisfactorily during the winter and in
June.
Secretary Grant has issued a call for a conference
of class secretaries for early January which it is hoped
will bring all class secretaries to the Hill and will result
in the steady development of a strong, effective general
alumni organization ; and to the officers of the ten or
more classes which are to return for their reunions in
June their classmates are looking for a program that
will top it over any ever carried out before.
DDD
A New Stadium Needed
The visit of newspaper men to the University to
witness the Carolina- Virginia game brought two ques-
tions to the tore — the need of a new stadium, and
drinking.
Graduate Manager Woollen came back from the
game with State College in Raleigh visibly worried.
He had already planned for 13,500 reserved seats on
Emerson field but with a day for the Carolina-Virginia
game like that of the Carolina-State game he knew
that no amount of life insurance could protect him
from the wrath of the thousands to whom the man at
the gate would have to say "Standing room only."
Louis Graves, '02, in the Chapel Hill Weekly, states
the need of the stadium and offers a plan for provid-
ing it. The Greensboro Nezvs and the Durham Herald
both agree as to the need but, through constant asso-
134
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
ciation with the chambers of commerce of their respec-
tive cities, reach the conclusion that the stadium should
be erected in Greensboro and Durham and not in
Chapel Hill.
But as to the need. Louis Graves states it in this
fashion :
The University may as well make up its mind to this — it has
got to have a bowl. Bowl, or stadium, or coliseum, or what-
ever name you choose to give to a monumental enclosure for
the accommodation of vast crowds at athletic contests. About
15,000 people came to the Carolina-Virginia game last week.
Half a dozen years from now, probably twice as many will be
eager to attend; and the number will grow steadily — if only
the seats are provided.
Whether it should be so or not — there are some who now
and then raise their voices to deplore it — the great athletic
spectacle is a settled feature in the program of modern college
education. The public dearly loves a show of physical prowess.
They loved it when David felled Goliath with a slingshot, they
loved it when the ancient Greeks raced and threw the discus,
they loved it when gladiators met in the Roman arena two
thousand years ago, they love it now, and they will always love
it. By a process of evolution, into the causes of which it is not
now our purpose to inquire, the obligation of supplying the
spectacles in these times has fallen mainly upon college stu-
dents. Public opinion supports the system, and moralizing and
protesting are not going to affect it. This being so, let us get
busy here and proceed to do promptly what other big institu-
tions, of the North and Middle West and the Far West, have
already done : that is, prepare for the crowds.
The generosity of Isaac Emerson, a former citizen of Chapel
Hill, gave us the present concrete structure. But it is outgrown
after only four or five years. Perhaps it will serve as part of
a greater stadium ; perhaps it will remain for a certain sort
of contests while an entirely new structure is erected in some
other place. In either event, the name of Emerson will surely
be associated with the larger arena, and the honor that is his
will not be effaced.
□ □ □
How to Finance It
After stating the need, the Weekly suggests one way
of financing it. Institutions elsewhere have followed a
variety of methods.
The way the thing is done is to sell shares in the stadium in
advance, each share carrying with it the ownership of seats,
either in perpetuo or for a number of years. The method has
been tried out and in more than one instance and has proved
entirely successful.
For instance, the committee in charge says to alumnus John
Brown and alumnus Thomas Jones and every other alumnus,
and to many another citizen not listed among the alumni :
"We need money for a stadium. You put up $100, and you
get a share which entitles you to two seats at the Carolina-
Virginia game in Chapel Hill for the next twenty-five years ;
the share is negotiable, and can be sold, given away, or trans-
ferred in any way you choose." Or it may be for all, not
merely the Carolina-Virginia, games ; or maybe for twenty,
or twenty-five, or thirty games of whatever kind. The details
of the offer can be worked out by the committee, with plenty
of good precedents as a guide.
DDD
But Not in Greensboro or Durham
The Weekly properly places the home-coming event
and the stadium in Chapel Hill, not in Greensboro or
Durham. The spectacle is, after all, a college spec-
tacle. And, for college men it is more than a spectacle.
For the undergraduate it is an occasion during which
the currents of campus life are started running deep
and strong. And for the scattered sons it is a home-
coming, with atmosphere and traditions that no other
place can possibly supply.
The game played on Riddick field, in October, where
one institution was host to another rival, stimulated
loyalties and impressed rules of fine sportsmanship to
a degree impossible of attainment on a neutral munic-
ipal field ; and the host of Carolina alumni who glimpsed
the well and the trees and visualized the rapid growth
and steadily increasing strength of Alma Mater as a
great American university went back to their homes
from Emerson field on Thanksgiving day with a higher
resolve to assist her in the realization of all her ideals.
ODD
Then, Where on the Campus?
Alumni sentiment, as expressed in many quarters,
clearly indicates that a bigger stadium there must be.
That being the case, it becomes the duty of the
proper alumni and University authorities to begin the
consideration of three major questions : where shall it
be placed on the campus, what shall be its ultimate
capacity, and what method shall be followed in putting
the thing across.
DDD
Drinking
The other matter that received attention from the
press was drinking. That there was considerable
drinking, even on the part of women, is a fact testified
to by many witnesses. The Charlotte Observer, the
Greensboro News, the Durham Herald, and the Tar
Heel, among others, recorded the evidence, and the
Observer and the Herald were moved to comment edi-
torially on it. The Observer thought it saw a number
of collegians among those imbibing; the Tar Heel knew
that it saw two women drinking out of a golden flask
and it became disgusted at their ineffective attempt at
the use of profanity. The Herald thought the col-
legians were to be exonerated and placed the blame
on the "soda fountain cowboys" who were playing the
role of sports for the day in Chapel Hill, and on society
in general.
The Review is convinced that drinking on the part
of the student body was at a minimum and that such
drinking as there was on the part of visitors was of the
same sort as that to be noted on any like occasion in
any other place in North Carolina, with the difference,
however, that it was more noticeable because it was
on the campus of an institution where young men are
being trained. The fact that there was drinking, how-
ever, did mar the occasion, and if the big home-coming
event in 1925 is not to be marred in similar fashion,
something will have to be done about the matter. Can
the alumni aid in the doing?
DDD
The University Press
Information has been furnished The Review to the
effect that although a news story and editorial com-
ment concerning the University of North Carolina
Press appeared in the September issue and a full page
advertisement of the Press appeared in the October
issue, which were mailed to 8.000 and 4,000 alumni, re-
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
ui
spectively, only one order for one of the ten books
advertised as published or to be published lias been
received from alumni. Other orders have come from
various quarters within and without the United States,
and even from distant earthquake shocked Japan. But
to date only one alumnus of the University of North
Carolina has sent an order for the Press' first offer-
ings. Evidently alumni have not as yet genuinely
adopted the hobby of picking up first editions of local
presses !
At the first blush, this is not a particularly good
showing either for the Press or the alumni. But the
very near future will reveal a far better one. The idea
on which the Press is based is fundamentally sound,
and, once the alumni know what it is, they will come
to the support of the Press not only with orders, but
with endowment funds as well.
The reason why The Review predicts this with
such confidence is based upon the major purpose of
the Press as set forth by the director in his forth-
coming report to President Chase :
The major purpose of the Press is to give the University
standing in the field of publishing commensurate with its stand-
ing in the fields of teaching, research, and extension. To
enter the publishing field here in the South, to develop a great
scholarly publishing business similar to those built up by Har-
vard and Yale and Chicago in America, and Cambridge and
Oxford in England, can and will bring the University dis-
tinction of the same high character as that brought it by the
development of its various schools with the additional advan-
tage that its scholarly output can be even more widely dis-
seminated throughout the scholarly world than the graduates
of its schools. Through the publication of books and studies
which members of the faculty are constantly producing and
publishing elsewhere, through text books which it may publish
and place in other colleges and universities of the country,
and through its scholarly journals (of which it is interesting to
note that it has more than Yale or Princeton, to mention two
of the large private institutions of the East) it can give evi-
dence throughout the entire world of its high scholastic attain-
ments. Conceived of in this manner the establishment of the
Press is an event of the very greatest importance not only to
the University but to the South and Nation, and its steady
development should instantly command the most serious
thought and the fullest support of the entire University.
nan
A Good Time Coming
Professor E. C. Branson, writing of the gifts made
by Danes to museums and art galleries and libraries
and university presses, furnishes another reason. It
is contained in two prophetic paragraphs appearing in
the University News Letter for December 12 under
the heading "A Good Time Coming." Here it is :
I comfort myself by saying that it takes time to build a
civilization and to create native fine arts and a native liter-
ature— thousands of years, not just a few hundred. Give
North Carolina time and with the urge she now feels — an urge
that no man can ever destroy in my opinion — she will be just
as great in her place on the planet as any other civilization in
history. Why not?
Some good day Xorth Carolina will have her rich patrons
of art and literature — men of a sort with Maecenas, the Fug-
gers in Augsburg, and the Jacobsens in Copenhagen, men who
love literature and the fine arts as Sprunt and Hill and Ricks
love history. Then we shall have a great art school, a great
music school, and a great university press at Chapel Hill. We
are rich in many things but we are poor in the fine arts. Life
is bare and hard and uninspiring for too many people in North
Carolina. It ought to be different and it will be different
when the wealth of our rich men and women is lavished upon
native cultural art as the wealth of the Jacobsens was in Den-
mark. Their Glyptotek alone — and it is only one of their
many gifts to the state that made them rich — gives them
immortality for a few million kroner. Their names will last
as long as" the art it treasures, just as Maecenas lives on and
on with Horace. Most men when they die are dead, fatally
dead, dead as a door nail, as Dickens said Mr. Marley was.
But not so the Jacobsens in Copenhagen, and it will not be so
in North Carolina, some good day.
□ □ □
What Two Years Will Bring Forth
The general appearance of the approach to Chapel
Hill from Durham has not, except for contrast between
the present and former type of road, struck the return-
ing alumnus as very different from what it was five or
ten years ago. An occasional new home is to be seen
now that was not in evidence formerly, but until the
campus itself is entered, the fact of the University's
growth is not really evident.
When the next Thanksgiving throng pours into the
village in 1925, however, the approach from the east
will have undergone radical changes and many an
alumnus will have occasion to rub his eyes in Rip Van
Winkle fashion before he gets his bearings. Roadways
will lead off from Franklin Street through Park Place
and to the South and East to the Booker (Battle) and
Gim Ghoul developments ; the new Episcopal church
and Parish House will have been wrought into a beau-
tiful unity with the present Chapel of the Cross; the
central unit of the Graham Memorial Building will
occupy the site of the Old Inn; the auditorium and
open court of the new Methodist church will replace
the Seaton Barbee house, and the Woman's Budding
will have been erected between the Episcopal church
and the Raleigh road.
If, fellow alumnus, you wish to see the Franklin
street you have known in former years, you are advised
to come quickly ; for these are the plans that are now-
getting underway, and this is what the next two years
will bring forth.

Genuine, Though Belated Appreciation
The University in May and November has been made
the subject of two most flattering special articles
appearing in New York weeklies. The first, which
appeared in Collier's Weekly for May 26, was from
the pen of VV. O. Saunders, of Elizabeth City, who, in
recent years, has become a regular contributor to New-
York publications. The second, entitled "How North
Carolina has been Rejuvenated by its University," is
by J. S. Terry, '18, and appeared as the leading edi-
torial of School for November 8, of which Mr. Terry
is editor.
Both articles comment at length upon the wonderful
progress in Xorth Carolina, and each, in turn, attrib-
utes ii in large measure to the influence of the Uni-
versity.
The Review has read both articles with unusual
pleasure. It maintains, as do the writers mentioned,
that the University has been preeminently a leader in
the transformation which has been wrought in the life
of the State within the past decade, and accordingly it
speaks its genuine, though belated appreciation of the
commendations which Alma Mater has received. .

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
ALUMNI GROUPS PLAN GREATER COORDINATION
Would Keep in Closer Touch to Facilitate Work of the Central Office
Secretary Grant Confers With Groups Throughout State
With the view to co-ordinating the
work of the local alumni clubs, the
class organizations and the central
office, Secretary Grant held confer-
ences with a number of the larger
alumni groups throughout the State
last month. The matter of financing
the Central Office for the year was
also considered.
There were meetings in Winston-
Salem, Greensboro, Concord, Lexing-
ton, High Point, Goldsboro, Wilming-
ton, and Kinston. Other conferences
will be held this month. The plan is
to add a full-time field secretary to
the staff of the Central Office to make
possible such conferences more fre-
quently.
Winston-Salem
The Winston-Salem meeting was
held in the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Presi-
dent R. G. Stockton presided. There
was an attendance of about 25.
The purposes and ideals of the Gen-
eral Alumni Association as conceived
by its present officers were presented
by Secretary Grant. Then there was
an informal discussion lasting two
hours and participated in by Burton
Craige, James A. Gray, Moses
Shapiro, R. G. Vaughan, Forrest
Miles, G. B. Porter and others.
Greensboro
The Greensboro meeting was held
in the Chamber of Commerce. Presi-
dent Wharton presided. Those in
attendance were: I. Harding Hughes,
C. L. Weill, C. R. Wharton, Chas.
Van Noppen, Lenoir Chambers, Al-
len Banner, Edward M. Sweetman,
Henry Foust, Robert Moseley, W. S.
Dickson, E. B. Jeffress, Henry

Concord
Luther P. Hartsell, president, presided
over the Concord meeting. Those
present included: F. J. Haywood, W.

YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE?
The Alumni Secretary says:
3,500 alumni have returned ques
tionnaires.
6,000 have not.
1,000 have had no request because
their address is unknown.
The Alumni Secretary asks:
Will you do your part by sending
in your questionnaire immedi-
ately? He adds that failure to
cooperate:
1. Makes impossible a directory of
Carolina Men;
2. Makes practically useless the
efforts of the 3,500 who have
shown their interest in this un-
dertaking;
3. Makes the $25,000 spent on
ground work, during the last
twelve months, a matter of spec-
ulation— spent in the faith that
the alumni would respond when
provided the proper sort of op-
portunity; and
4. Makes, in short, impossible the
building of a really effective
General Alumni Association, for
the things we do now are but
bricks that must lose themselves
in the foundation of that struc-
ture.
present included: J. M. Daniel, presi-
dent ; H. G. West, secretary ; Z. V.
Walser; Dan A. Walser; L. A. Mar-
tin; J. A. Raper; E. C. Byerly.
Wilmington
The Wilmington meeting lasted
more than two hours and was fea-
tured by much constructive discussion.
Those present included : R. C. deRos-
sett, president ; Marsden deRossett,
secretary; J. G. Murphy, J. N. Brand,
J. W. Yates, J. H. Hardin, Jr., Louis
D. McMillan, W. H. Moore, J. A.
Moore, D. B. Sloan, T. J. Lilley and
Reginald Mallett.
Hight Point
The High Point group laid plans
for a big meeting late this month.
A member of the University faculty
will be invited to make the principal
address.
Kinston
The Lenoir County alumni met on
December 17 in Kinston and planned
a banquet and dance for the holidays.
The meeting was presided over by
Ely J. Perry, president of the Lenoir
association. Among those present
were D. M. Hardy, C. F. Harvey, Sr.,
E. R. Tull, Ely J. Perry, L. E. Fields,
G B. Lay, Meriweather Lewis, J. L.
Philips, and W. D. Harris.
CLASS OFFICERS TO MEET
The secretaries of all alumni classes
are expected to gather in Chapel Hill
for a conference on January 11.
Many of the classes are not organ-
ized and for these Secretary Grant
has named representatives pending
elections at reunions. A large atten-
dance is already assured but efforts
are being made to have every class
with living members represented.
Full information is contained in a
letter Secretary Grant has sent the
duly elected secretaries and others des-
ignated to attend.
The major matters to be considered
are: (1) A complete roster of class
officers ; (2) A gathering of class
records, possibly in book form; (3)
Class reunions at Commencement; (4)
Completion of alumni records; (5)
strengthening of the class conscious-
ness.
Special emphasis will be given the
matter of completing alumni records.
Questionnaires sent to 7,500 alumni
have not been returned. They are
necessary for the completion of the
alumni catalogue.
"The issue is at its crux," says
Secretary Grant. "Shall we have an
alumni association, or shall we con-
tinue the futility to which we have
become accustomed ? During the past
year we have done a tremendous
amount of detail work in starting an
office. We are ready for the record
step : that must be taken by the class
secretaries. To a degree, scarcely be-
lievable, then the future of this work
depends upon this conference.
The conference is being aranged
under the joint auspices of the Exe-
cutive Committee of the Alumni Class
Secretaries and the Central Alumni
Office. The executive Committee is
composed of H. M. Wagstaff, '99; W.
S. Bernard, '00; T. J. Wilson, Jr.,
'94 ; L. J. Phipps, '22. The first con-
ference of class officers was held in
October, 1922.

ALUMNI SEE NEED FOR ERECTION OF LARGER STADIUM
Carolina- Virginia Game Thanksgiving Brought Matter to the Fore With Striking
Emphasis Several Alumni Come Forward With Plans That Have
Been Tried With Success Elsewhere
The spectacle of 15,000 football en-
thusiasts in Chapel Hill Thanksgiving,
with seats for only 13,500 — and most
of them temporary — brought to the
fore with striking emphasis the need
for a larger stadium.
In his first issue following the game,
Louis Graves, '02, editor of the Chapel
Hill Weekly, wrote an editorial urging
the necessity of the immediate erection
of a larger enclosure and outlining a
plan that has been tried with success
in other institutions.
Subsequently there appeared edi-
torials in the Greensboro Daily News
and Durham Morning Herald urging
that such a stadium be erected in then-
cities. The editorials are reprinted
herewith on page 145.
Since the agitation began The
Weekly has printed a number of let-
ters from prominent alumni, all agree-
ing as to the necessity for a larger
stadium but differing somewhat in the
method proposed for raising the neces-
sary funds. The salient points in
these letters are reprinted below.
The Weekly's Plan
The editor of the Weekly, in out-
lining his plan, writes:
"The way the thing is done to sell
shares in the stadium in advance, each
share carrying with it the ownership
of seats, either in perpetuo or for a
number of years. The method has
been tried out and in more than one
instance and has proved entirely suc-
cessful.
"For instance, the committee in
charge says to alunmus John Brown
and alumnus Thomas Jones and every
other alumnus, and to many another
citizen not listed among the alumni:
"We need money for a stadium. You
put up $100, and you get a share which
entitles you to two seats at the Caro-
lina-Virginia game in Chapel Hill for
the next twenty-five years ; the share
is negotiable, and can be sold, given
away, or transferred in any way you
choose. Or it may be for all, not
merely the Carolina-Virginia, games;
or maybe for twenty, or twenty-five
or thirty games of whatever kind. The
details of the offer can be worked out
by the committee, with plenty of good
precedents as a guide.
REVIEW WANTS ALUMNI
OPINIONS ON STADIUM
The Review is anxious to get
alumni opinion regarding the
proposals looking toward the
erection of a larger stadium to
care for the ever increasing
crowds who come to Chapel Hill
for football games and other
athletic events.
Several plans have been advo-
cated and their sponsors say they
are business-like and have been
tried with success elsewhere.
The Review's suggestion is that
a committee be appointed to con-
sider the merit of each plan.
Meanwhile this publication is
anxious to have from the alumni
:is many expressions as possible,
to be printed in full or in part
in these columns.
"Just by way of illustration: if two
thousand persons took shares at $100
each, that would make a fund of
$200,000. The rest, if more were
needed, could be raised by a loan, with
a first claim on the gate receipts as se-
curity. One has only to consider the
history of the big games in the North
and the rapid grow'th in attendance
here, to conclude that a loan so secured
should be acceptable even to the most
careful money-lender. There were
just about twice as many tickets
bought for last Thursday's game here
as for the Thanksgiving game four
years ago. The steady rise in the
number of students at the University,
and therefore of alumni ; the build-
ing of good roads that enable visitors
to come long distances with ease ; the
increase in the population and wealth
of North Carolina — these factors re-
move all doubt that there will be suffi-
cient income to support the undertak-
ing."
W. N. Everett
W. X. Everett writes: I don't think
we would have any trouble at all in
putting the $200,000 proposition over.
The only question in my mind is: is
the $200,000 enough?
Dr. Foy Roberson
Says Dr. Foy Roberson: "Friends
and alumni have shown their interest
in the University's athletics to a mark-
ed degree; and it is only just and right
that they be comfortably taken care
of after they have traveled many miles
to witness athletic contests. I do not
mean to reflect discredit, in the least,
on those who have these matters in
charge ; because I know that they have
done exceedingly well with the very
poor equipment they have. However,
the fact remains that of the 15,000
people who witnessed the game on
Thanksgiving Day, practically not
more than 3,000 or 4,000 were com-
fortably situated; this is certainly not
gratifying to either those wdio have
these matters in charge, or to those
who suffer."
Burton Craige
"Your editorial on facilities for the
game at Chapel Hill is timely and
should be promptly heeded," writes
Burton Craige. "Indeed, if a gloomy
wet day like Thursday brings an over-
flow crowd, the necessity for enlarge-
ed facilities is now upon us. It will
never do to dampen this enthusiasm
which has, in the making, a great na-
tional event. Your plan is workable
and should bring about every needed
facility. I hope the plan for a larger
stadium will be worked out success-
fully."
W. Stamps Howard
From W. Stamps Howard of Tar-
boro comes a letter which says: "If
the University expects to hold the high
position already obtained in athletics,
-lie must have immediately a new gym-
nasium and an athletic field that will
seat thirty thousand people and which
can be easily enlarged to double this
capacity."
Mr. Howard says that the State's
appropriations will naturally have to
go for other things than for athletics,
and there fine that the money for the
stadium will have to be raised inde-
pendently.
He says that a million ought to be
in sight — and that "a million and a
half would be infinitely better" — to
launch the project, and adds: "I be-
lieve that either of these amounts can
138
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
be raised by group insurance taken out
by alumni for $500 each, by a ten-
year payment policy." The balance,
according- to Mr. Howard's plan,
would be raised by a loan. He con-
cludes :
"I am heart and soul for this bigger
stadium and am not wedded to any
particular plan. What we want is re-
sults."
Charles Whedbee
"Just what plan may be adopted to
carry the thing through is immate-
rial," says Charles Whedbee of Hert-
ford. "The great matter is to secure
somehow the necessary enclosure. I
shall be glad to assist in any way I can
to make this fine idea a reality."
Maxcy L. John
"It does not seem to me that there
is any way out of it — we must have
a stadium, or bowl," writes Maxcy L.
John of Laurinburg. "People dcery
athletics sometimes as people decry
large institutions ; but when the money
is offered for healthy expansion there
is no faculty or board of trustees that
refuses the means to provide for larger
attendance if offered the larger atten-
dance. The small institution may
make a virtue of necessity and boast
of its smallness ; but it expands as
fast as it possibly can, and will be
one of the big ones some day, if pos-
sible.
"So with athletics. The institution
that can put on satisfactory athletics
soon finds that it must do so, and that
the whole student body is helped by
the wholesome enthusiasm and com-
radeships of clean athletics. Without
contests there will not be that enthusi-
asm that carries forward a whole body
of young men toward proper recrea-
tion and physical development. To
get this in its best surroundings and
setting it must be on the campus of the
institution, so that the boy who can-
not or will not otherwise get the urge
will."
A. W. McLean
Angus Wilton McLean writes from"
his home in Lumberton : "As I stated
before the Alumni Association in Fay-
etteville in October, I believe that in
ten years the University will have at
least 10,000 students, and that the at-
tendance will steadily increase in fu-
ture vears. Athletic contests will grow
in importance as the University ex-
pands. I believe it is only a question
of time when a larger place to stage
these contests will be a prime neces-
sity. Even now, the present facilities
are entirely inadequate."
George Stephens
George Stephens of Asheville, a
former University athlete and for the
last score of years one of the most
active men in alumni affairs, writes
that the idea ought to be "put across"
without delay.
Gen. Julian S. Carr
General Julian S. Carr is another
who is strong for it.
"The University by all odds is the
place to erect the stadium or bowl,"
he writes. "Tell Grensboro and Dur-
ham to keep off the grass. A stadium
at Durham or at Greensboro does not
meet the question at all. We must
have a bowl at the University suffi-
ciently large to meet the University's
needs. I believe that Honorable W.
N. Everett is right when he says a
stadium or bowl can be built by alumni
subscribing for shares of stock with
the right to seats."
CAROLINA WINS IN DEBATE
The University of North Carolina
defeated the University of South
Carolina in debate in Chapel Hill on
December 8. The question was wheth-
er a constitution amendment should be
adopted giving Congress power to
pass a federal divorce act. The vote
was 3 to 0. /
South Carolina upheld the affirma-
tive and was represented by K. M.
Smith, Calhoun Thomas, J. H. Witt-
kowsky. Upholding the negative.
North Carolina was represented by
Earl H. Hartsell, J. W. Deyton and
G. C. Hampton, Jr.
Judges were Gilbert Stephenson,
F. R. Johnson and Quinton Hol-
ton. Presiding officers were : Prof.
Prof. H. H. Williams and Prof. G.
H. H. Williams and Prof. G. M.
McKie.
Malcolm M. Young, of Durham,
judged the best speaker on the win-
ning side, won the Mary D. Wright
medal in the inter-society debate in
Chapel Hill December 14. He and
R. L. Hollowell, of Edenton, repre-
sented the negative side of the ques-
tion of whether the Philippines should
be granted their complete and imme-
diate independence. They represented
the Phi society. Representing the Di
society, on the affirmative side, were
L. G. Deyton of Green Mountain, and
A. L. Groce, of Candler.
Seven law clubs with a membership
of 15 students each, having as their
purpose training for actual court prac-
tice, have been organized in the School
of Law of the LTniversity. Every one
of the 125 law students voted to join
a club. The clubs are conducted as
appellate courts, before which the stu-
dents go with typewritten briefs.

CHASE AND EVERETT VISIT NEW YORK ALUMNI
Surprise Them With Figures and Facts Regarding University's Growth
Large Number Present at Mid-Winter Dinner
The New York alumni got together
for their winter dinner at the Hotel
Brevoort on December 13.
President Chase and Secretary of
State Everett were the principal
honor guests. George Gordon Battle,
president of the New York chapter,
was toastmaster.
The addresses of President' Chase
and Secretary Everett were in the
nature of a report of what is going
on in North Carolina and they pre-
sented facts and figures that surprised
those not fully informed about the
remarkable growth of their native
state.
President Chase Talks
President Chase's talk was a digest
of his annual report to be made this
month. The point he stressed was that
"the University is no longer merely an
under graduate college — though the
undergraduate college exists. It is a
University with the complex functions
and tasks of a University." He con-
tinued in part :
Faculty Numbers 160
"With a faculty of 160 men, the
University is teaching nearly 2,200
students. Of the quality of this facul-
ty it is only necessary to say that it
has attained such general recognition
that last year the University was ad-
mitted to membership in the Associa-
tion of American Universities. In
this group are twenty-five leading
Universities of America, including
Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Chi-
cago, Columbia, and the great middle-
western Universities. During the
twenty odd years of the existence of
this Association the University of
North Carolina and the University of
Virginia have been the only Southern
universities admitted to membership.
"This association of universities is
based entirely upon the quality of the
work done and it is a notable fact
that many universities of respectable
standing have been unable to procure
membership. It is a compliment to the
University of North Carolina that she
has been admitted.
"The problem of assimilating the
new men has come to be one of our
chief tasks. This year there are 700
freshmen, coming from 97 counties
in the state. Ninety per cent of the
President Chase told the . New York
alumni the University is no longer merely
an undergraduate college — that it is a
University in the modern sense of the
word.
students are North Carolinians and
80 per cent are from our public
schools.
"We are trying to analyze the task
of assimilation intelligently. We are
striving to meet this problem of tran-
sition from every angle, giving each
man an opportunity to give testimony
as to his aspirations.
"As an illustration of how the
freshmen are choosing careers, mem-
bers of this year's class have desig-
nated their choice in the following
order :
Medicine Comes First
"First, medicine, in which 100 are
entered; next law, with teaching third
and business fourth. It is interesting
to note that so many men are thinking
of teaching as a career. Another in-
teresting feature is that 95 per cent
of the new men have indicated their
desire to follow vocations other than
those of their fathers. '
"As an adjunct to teaching a good
library is invaluable. Ours is a differ-
ent sort of place now. We have with-
in the last year added 12,000 books
and pamphlets. During the course
of the year more than 25,000 books
were loaned out, which shows that we
are doing some studying at Chapel
Hill. Our library is now among the
32 leading libraries of the country.
Graduate School Has 329
"The Graduate School, including
students spreading their work over
several summers, numbers this year
329. The group includes students
from 16 states. Last year we con-
ferred 42 advanced degrees ; this year
there are 9 candidates for the Ph.D.
alone. It is a hopeful sign for the
State and . the South that expert
knowledge and training is at the dis-
posal of the men who are to lead
the South.
"Research goes on among the facul-
ty in a vigorous way which actual
comparison shows is without parallel
in any other Southern institution. Our
University Press is the only one in
the South today. A bureau of educa-
tional research has been established
recently to discover facts and dissemi-
nate information regarding the educa-
tional system and products of the State
and the various sections of the State.
"Another function of the Univer-
sity is its direct service to the State.
There is at the University a great
mass of knowledge and technical skill
which it would be tragic to separate
from immediate contact with the
State. The modern State University,
with its wide range of special knowl-
edge available, through its faculty
places it freely at the disposal of the
groups, organizations, professions and
individuals of the State.
Secretary Everett Speaks
Secretary Everett said that the Uni-
versity cannot consider limiting num-
bers. Such limitation he asserted,
would destroy the true spirit of dem-
ocracy which now pervades the cam-
pus.
Speaking of the opportunities now
offered in North Carolina, he said
that whereas 4,500 citizens left the
State in 1920 while 1,500 were return-
ing, now the eyes of the nation are
focussed on Tar Heelia and national
publications are glad to publish data
concerning her prosperity. His con-
clusion was that :
"The progress and prosperity of
North Carolina is the result of the
willingness of the people to follow
the vision of their leaders. You asV

how we have been enabled to build up
the splendid educational system and
the magnificent roads. We did it by
getting to the hearts of the people,
by arousing a spirit of helpfulness
and devotion. Men lose their hearts
and souls to the State which takes
them and makes them hers and shapes
them to her needs."
Tames A. Gray of Winston-Salem,
who happened to be in New York at
the time, was another prominent guest.
The dinner was arranged by a com-
mittee composed of John S. Terry,
secretary of the New York Associa-

BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
Carolina's basketball prospects are
fine. The squad suffers the loss of
only one man from last year's team —
Carl Mahler, guard, of Wilmington.
In reserve strength the squad prob-
ably excels the Southern Champions
of lf>22 or the South Atlantic Cham-
pions of last year. Twenty-five men
are out for practice. Two former
captains are hack, Cartwright Car-
michael and "Monk" McDonald.
Winton Green, of Wilmington, is
captain of this year's team. Carmi-
chael will hold down his old berth
at center. "Monk" and Sammy Mc-
Donald appear to be the choices for
guards, although other candidates are
showing up well, especially Johnny
Purser, Jr., Bill Dodderer, and Bill
Devin. Dodderer will probably alter-
nate at center and guard.
Captain Green, Jack Cobb and Jim-
my Poole are among the best looking
forwards. Other members of last
year's varsity showing up exceptional-
ly well are Lineberger, Ambler, Solo-
mon and Wright, guards ; Penton, Se-
burn and Bowen, forwards, and Blan-
lon, center.
Members of last year's freshman
-quad who look good include Barber
and Koonce, guards ; Yelverton, Jack
Milstead, Fisher and Davis, forwards;
Watt and Cordon, centers.
Norman Shepard is coaching the
squad. Bretney Smith of Asheville
is manager.
The schedule is one of the hardest
the University has ever undertaken.
The Northern trip includes games
with such strong teams as V. M. I.,
the Navy, the University of Mary-
land, Catholic University, University
of Virginia, Lynchburg College and
Washington and Lee. There are two
games each with N. C. State, Wake
Forest and Trinity. Several dates are

UNIVERSITY GETS SIGNAL
HONORS
Here are a few signal honors, re-
cently accorded, to illustrate the fact
that the University of North Carolina
is widely recognized and takes high
rank among leading institutions
throughout the country:
Dr. S. C. Mitchell, professor of
history in the University of Richmond,
speaking in Ashland, Va., last month,
at the dedication of the Walter Hines
Page Memorial Library, referred to
the remarkable growth of the Univer-
sity in the course of his address and
said among other things :
"The most creative institution to-
day south of the Mason and Dixon
line is located at Chapel Hill."
Dr. Mitchell was formerly president
of the University of South Carolina,
1908-13, and president of the Univer-
sity of Deleware, 1914-20.
A meeting of the National Associa-
tion of State Universities in Chicago
last month re-elected President Chase
Secretary, which means he will have
charge of arranging the program.
At a recent meeting in Charlottes-
ville, Va., of the Association of Amer-
ican Universities, comprising a group
limited to twenty-five leading univer-
sities in America, the University of
North Carolina was elected vice-
president, the officers being institu-
tional. Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, Dean of
the Graduate School, attended as the
University's delegate. During the 20-
odd years of existence of this associa-
tion North Carolina and Virginia have
been the only southern universities ad-
mitted to membership.
At a meeting of the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the
Southern States in Richmond, Va.,
last month, President Chase was elect-
ed to membership on the Executive
Committee and Acting Dean Walker
of the School of Education to the
Chairmanship of the Commission on
Accredited Schools of the Southern
States.

Thomas J. Wilson, 3d, member of
(he French faculty in the University
and son of the Registrar, has been
chosen, from among many candidates,

ord in the University, winning mem-
bership in Phi Beta Kappa, and was a

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
NEW TYPE OF GRADUATE SCHOOL AT UNIVERSITY
Stock Taking Gives Eloquent Proof of Value of Graduate Study
Former Students Widely Scattered
The Graduate School of the Uni-
versity of North Carolina has recently
been taking stock of its labors and ac-
tivities. An information card was
sent to each student who has received
within the past nine years one of the
higher degrees (A. M., M. S. or
Ph.D.), conferred only upon those who
have carried on advanced study and
investigation after receiving the A. B.
degree from a standard institution.
Below are some of the notes collected.
They are a much more eloquent proof
of the value of graduate study than
many volumes of arguments.
Edwin S. Lindsey, Ph.D., who received
his degree in English last June, is As-
sociate Professor of English in Con-
verse College, Spartanburg, S. C.
Carnie B. Carter; Ph.D., '16, holds the
position of Research Fellow at Mellon
Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa. Since leav-
ing the University, he has obtained a
number of patents.
Edwin M. Highsmith, Ph.D., '23, is now
Professor of Education in Meredith
College, Raleigh, N. C. He is also
Assistant State High School Inspector.
Henry R. Totten, who was granted the
doctorate in Botany last year, has be-
come Assistant Professor in that de-
partment in the University of North
Carolina. For four years he has been
a member of the Executive Committee
of the North Carolina Academy of
Science, and also Secretary and Treas-
urer of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific
Society of the University.
Isaac V. Giles, Ph.D., '22, is Research
Chemist for the Rohm and Haas Com-
pany of Bristol, Pennsylvania.
VVelsey Critz George, who received the
doctor's degree in 1918, is Associate
Professor of Histology and Ento-
mology in the University of North
Carolina.
James S. Moffat, Jr., Ph.D., '19, is in
Washington and Lee University as
Professor of English.
Ernst Otto Moehlmann, M.S., '23, is an
instructor in the Department of Chem-
istry in Cooper Union, New York City.
Edgar Long, M.A., '16, is Associate Pro-
fessor of English at Erskine College,
Due West, S. C. He has spent several
summers teaching in the University of
South Carolina.
CurrerT Monroe Farmer, M.A. in Educa-
tion, '19, is Director of Extension in
the State Normal School, Troy, Ala-
bama.
John Lee Aycock, M.A., '21, is an assist-
ant in the Editorial Department of
Scott, Foresman and Company, Pub-
lishers, Chicago, 111. He is the author
GRADUATE ALUMNUS IS A
NEW TYPE
Authors, investigators, scien-
tists, university professors, bu-
siness men, engineers and many
more are found in the list of
alumni of the Graduate School.
They are scattered through all
parts of the country, the West
as well as the East, the North
as well as the South. Many are
holding positions of trust and
responsibility; frequently their
work is of such a nature that
only their graduate study makes
it possible for them to pursue it.
They represent a new type of
Alumnus, the Graduate Alum-
nus,, a type which the Univer-
sity is sending out in ever-in-
creasing numbers.
As you glance through these
personal items, you will be con-

JUSTICES TO TALK TO LAW
STUDENTS
Albert Coates, chairman of the Law
School Asociation has anounced that
three justices of the Supreme Court
have accepted the Association's invi-
tation to address the students of the
Law School during the winter and
spring. It is hoped the other two jus-
tices will find it possible to accept the
invitation extended to them.
Chief Justice Walter Clark will
open the series of addresses on Friday
night, January 23. in Manning Hall,
Chapel Hill.
It is the plan of the Association to
invite a number of the Superior Court
judges next year and the year follow-
ing a number of leading members of
the bar. This process will be repeated
every three years, so that the members
of each class, during their three years
;i- students here, will have an oppor-
tunity to hear members of the Supreme
Court bench, the Superior Court
bench, and the bar.
The Law School Association is a
recently formed body of which every
student in the law school is a member
and of which Albert Coates is organ-
izer and chairman. It has for its pur-
pose the promotion of the Law School
interests.
The board of directors is composed
'i the following students: Watts
Hill, Durham; S. M. Whedbee, Hert-
ford; A. L. Purrington, Jr., Scotland
X'eck: C. E. Gowan, Windsor; A. J.
Eley, Woodland; C. C. Poindexter,
Franklin; S: M. Cathey, Asheville.
The board of advisors consists of
A. C. Mcintosh, P. H. Winston, R.
II . Wettach, and F. B. McCall, of the
law school faculty, and President
Chase and Charles T. Woollen, repre-
senting the University administration.
The Charlotte High School won

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
HEARD AND SEEN AROUND THE WELL
Last Saturday night Ray New-
some, Fred McCall and I journeyed
around to the old Di Society to see
what it was like in these degenerate
days. It happened to be the Fall
term business meeting and in spite of
all the changes in Society programs,
these meetings have their traditional
flavor. After the election of officers
with a mild amount of politics, there
came the report of the officer on the
right and the officer on the left and
then the treasurer and so forth.
"Mr. President may I retire" was to
be heard with the usual frequency.
"Mr. President, the gentleman is in
error, I was present that night." And
so in this hall hallowed by the pic-
tures of distinguished predecessors the
glorious boys transact the same old
business with the same old mixture of
humor and seriousness. I believe it
still happens that the aspiring poli-
tician announces that he "has a man in
mind" and his aspiring opponent sub-
mits that the candidate is in very
cramped quarters.
Debate Audiences Smaller
The University of North Carolina
debaters defeated the University of
South Carolina team in Gerrard Hall
last week. The South Carolinians said
that we should have the Federal Con-
stitution so amended as to give Con-
gress power to pass a uni form national
divorce law. We said this should not
be done since the Constitution was al-
ready amended not wisely but too
well, and the judges voted unanimous-
ly for us. However it was a good
debate and was followed by a pleas-
ant smoker to which all former inter-
collegiate debaters were invited. Thad
Adams of Charlotte came down and
reminded some of us that in his day
such a debate would have packed Ger-
rard Hall with students and the ladies
of the community. The debaters seem
to be as interested in their job as
ever but the crowd certainly has lost
interest since those good old days ;
for two hundred would be a record
crowd for a debate now-a-days.
New Fraternity System Popular
For the first time in many a year
the rushing season for fraternities is
over and some four score freshmen
are wearing pledge buttons of various
hues which they will exchange for
pins after the opening of the spring
quarter if they pass enough work.
The new system seems to be uniformly
popular. The upper classmen and
freshmen both have been able to get
down to work for examinations. In-
cidentally the pledges, added to the
sophomores initiated this fall, swell
the ranks of fraternity chapters be-
yond any point seen hitherto. For
instance one chapter has 33 members.
The Co-Eds Pledge One
The boys claim they have a good
joke on the co-eds. They say that the
fact that the two sororities pledged
only one of 100 co-eds would indi-
cate that the co-eds don't like each
other any better than the campus
seemed to like them last spring.
About Holiday Spirit
Some members of the student coun-
cil are trying to figure out some form
of plea that will be effective with
those of the alumni who come back
in holiday spirit full of holiday spirits.
The student body as a whole did man-
ful work at Thanksgiving to keep the
game and the dances free of objection-
able behavior, but six intoxicated in-
dividuals not only see double but look
quadruple and so the result is that in
spite of heroic efforts the students are
urged by the editor of at least one
state daily to look more carefully to
their conduct. They are inclined to
pass the buck to the alumni and urge
those few who do want to go on an
occasional spree to please take it some
where besides Chapel Hill.
Freshmen and Examinations
Seven hundred and fifty young
North Carolinians are facing their
first collegiate firing squad and as
usual some of them are getting a little
nervous about it. I don't know just
how it affected most of the alumni, but
1 have never forgotten my feeling of
hopeful helplessness as I faced that
dark and unknown experience of my
first University examination. About
twice a day now some chap comes into
the office complaining of nervousness
and inability to concentrate. I sup-
pose the trouble is that he is trying to
concentrate a fall's work into a week.
Some Misunderstanding
Every year there arrive on this
campus several men who come here
from homes and communities which
have exerted all conceivable pressure
to keep them away from this Godless
den of wickedness. They always ex-
press their surprise at the wholesome-
ness of our life here and begin to
write back home to try to tell the
home folks that Chapel Hill is not
the Devil's own private stamping
ground. I don't know whether it is
due to the University's enemies or to
the college student's insatiable love
of telling big tales back in his own
home town, but for some cause or
another great areas of the state seem
to feel that their University is a
heathen, wicked place and the sur-
prise of the freshmen who come from
these places at the abundance of reli-
gion and genuine goodness that they
find here mixed in with the usual ele-
ments of other sorts would be comical
were it not for the feeling that it is
too bad that so many good people in
the state should misunderstand an in-
stitution which belongs to them.
Glee Club in New Role
The University Glee Club has just
returned from the most successful
tour it has ever made — a tour that
was distinguished by some very re-
markable things. The program was
made up largely of semi-classical and
religious music, with just two inter-
ludes of jazz. The fact that this sort
of program was so uniformly popu-
lar would indicate that the people of
North Carolina appreciate good music.
It has been the custom during past
years to have the program made up
of humor and jazz and so-called popu-
lar music that the rah-rah college boy
was supposed to find most pleasant.
This new departure is just as popu-
lar with the boys of the club as it
has been with their audiences.
Wrestling Established
When a thousand students go out
to witness the try-outs in wrestling,
that sport may be fairly said to have
become established. Just a year old
this fall, it bids fair to take a perma-
nent and solid position in the hearts
of the campus.
Shooting in the Dark
Some one has said that writing is
like shooting in the dark. You can
pull the trigger and produce an ex-
plosion, but you never know what you
hit. It would be very helpful if those
whom this department of the Review
has been missing would speak up and
let us know just what sort of campus
news they are thirsting to hear most.

THE UNIVERSITY IN PRINT
The University of North Carolina
has been signally honored in being
elected vice-president of the Associa-
tion of American universities.
The election was at a business meet-
ing of the association just held at the
University of Virginia in Charlottes-
ville, the officers being institutional.
Harvard university was chosen presi-
dent and the University of Michigan
secretary.
Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, dean- of the
graduate school, represented the uni-
versity at the meeting. More than fifty
presidents and deans of leading uni-
versities were present. The university
was elected to membership in the asso-
ciation last year.
Dr. Greenlaw, who has returned
with the news of the election, said to-
day that he heard many commendatory
things said about the University of
North Carolina at the meeting. The
delegates consider its growth phenom-
enal, he said.
Among the delegates present were
Presidents Campbell of the University
of California; Lowell, of Harvard;
Jessup, of Iowa; Goodnow, of Johns
Hopkins; Scott, of Northwestern;
Wilbur, of Stanford; and Alderman,
of Virginia. — Charlotte Observer.
The Chapel Hill Weekly is much
exercised over the problem of pro-
viding accommodations for the spec-
tators at the biennial Virginia-Caro-
lina football game. This year 15,000
spectators turned out on that occasion.
and Emerson field couldn't hold them.
The Weekly guesses that in half a
dozen years the number of would-be
spectators will double, and it calls
for the erection of a stadium capable
of holding them.
We commend this to the attention
of the gentlemen who are bestirring
themselves to secure the erection of
a great athletic stadium in Greensboro.
It seems that the city has here a chance
to render conspicuous service to the
university and to the state at large.
Why not build the stadium, and offer
its use to the scholastic authorities
whenever they undertake to pull off a
big one, whether it is a football game,
a base ball game, a track meet, or
what not?
Greensboro is in better position than
the university itself to take care of
inter-collegiate athletics, for the
Greensboro stadium would be avail-
able, not to the Carolina teams only,
but to all the college athletes. For the
university to undertake to erect an
enormous stadium for one game that
comes to Chapel Hill only once in two
years seems decidedly a doubtful ven-
ture. A similar stadium erected at
Greensboro, on the contrary, would be
well located to stage at least a dozen
important events every year. As the
town is more easily accessible than
any of the college towns — taking into
consideration the fact that alumni are
scattered over the whole state — games
played here ought to attract greater
throngs than they would draw any-
where else, with consequent benefit to
the box office receipts, and the college
athletic association.
It is necessary merely to mention the
fact that such an institution would go
far toward making Greensboro a cen-
ter of interest for all sorts of college
activities, and therefore familiar to
every college man in the state, to show
where the town would profit by sup-
plying the facilities that the college
athletes need. — Editorial in Greens-
boro Daily News.
There is this much about it : The
first city in the central part of the
state that erects a big athletic field
with seating accommodations for the
largest crowds will be the city that
will attract the big games and put
itself on the map as a good place for
holding the more important athletic
contests. We would like to see Dur-
ham be that city with vision and
courage to meet the demand and re-
ceive the benefit therefrom. If the
city or a group of individuals cannot
be induced to assume that undertaking,
we would like to see Trinity college
build a big bowl. Trinity needs one,
being probably about the poorest
equipped for accommodating large
football crowds of any of the larger
colleges in the state. Circumstances
are going to compel that institution
to make more provision for handling
her football and baseball contests, and
it would be well for her to launch the
undertaking on typical Trinity scale —
large enough to care for the needs far
into the future. The University needs
a large athletic field, but it will be
difficult for her to get it without the
alumni or some rich friend of the in-
stitution coming forward with suffi-
cient funds to provide it. Being a
state institution, depending upon the
whim of an ever-changing legislature
for her support, the chance of ever pre-
vailing upon legislators to appropri-
ate funds for a stadium are indeed
slim. The mention of one or two
hundred thousand dollars for an ath-
letic field would send about half of the
average legislature to the hospital with
a stroke of something similar to
apoplexy.
But, something needs to be done.
Some progressive city, or group of
citizens, will have to come forward
and supply the need for an athletic
field if this state is to meet the de-
mands now being made upon it in that
respect. The city that is first to meet
that need is going to be the city that
will win. — Editorial in Durham Morn-
ing Herald.

sideration of Abdominal Hernia."
Just before examinations and the
end of the first quarter the eighteen
fraternities at the University pledged
89 members of the freshman class.
This marked the inauguration of the
new system — in vogue for the first
time this year — which permits pledg-
ing of the first year men just before
examinations and initiations after
Christmas.
Last fall the fraternities initiated
'>2 upper classmen and pledged a doz-
en others. This means that when all
those pledged are initiated the total of
initiates for the year will be 193.
Miss Annie Leo Graham of Dur-
ham was the only girl pledged. She
went Chi Omega. About a dozen
girls were taken in the two girls' fra-
ternities last fall, however.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
WITH THE ALUMNI HERE AND THERE
Turlington in Constantinople
Edgar Turlington, '11, Rhodes
scholar and student of international
law, was sent by Secretary of State
Hughes to Constantinople last spring
to discuss and settle some claims
Uncle Sam held against the Turkish
government. We take the following
account of his doings from a recent
letter concerning him :
Edgar went to Lousanne in April.
He was a member of the American
delegation. He was sent over as a
legal and economic expert. He en-
joyed the experience very much ; work-
ed very hard, sometimes as late as
4 A. M. He met many interesting
people, was entertained at the U. S.
Embassies in Berne, Paris, and Lon-
don, went on jaunts with the nobility
of various countries, had a fine time
socially.
After the Turco-American treaty
was signed he took a month of travel
through western and central Europe.
He went back to Oxford, went to Cam-
bridge, spent a few days in London,
going then to the Hague where he
attended some lectures on Interna-
tional Law. From there he went to
Berlin for several days' stay. Then
he went to Leipsig, Trieste, Vienna,
Budapest, Sophia and on slowly to
Constantinople, seeing things as he
went along.
In Constantinople he is one of the
U. S. High Commission and is there
for the discussion and settlement of
some pecuniary claims which our
government has against the Turkish
government.
He is having a very interesting
time there. He witnessed the evacu-
ation of Constantinople by the allied
troops and the entrance of the Turkish
troops into the city both of which
were accompanied by great enthusi-
asm. He has met the noted Halide
Hanum, the foremost woman of Tur-
key.
He believes that the New Turk
party is earnestly desirous of reform-
ing their government upon the lines
of modern civilization. He says the
Turkish girls have the most beautiful
eyes he has ever seen. The time of
his return is very indefinite. Things
move very slowly in the East and the
near East. When his work is finished
in Turkey, however, he will return to
the State Department where he will
aid in important drafting in connec-
tion with foreign relations.
M. B. Aston, '96, of Goldfield, Nevada, who
went west 20 years ago, first to Texas and then
to Nevada, and successively engaged in teach-
ing, commercial pursuits, writing and publish-
ing. Magazine writing took him to Goldfield,
where he is now a mine operator — prominent
and wealthy.
At the Legion Convention
Hilary H. Crawford, '17, who is prac-
ticing law in San Francisco, reports he
saw several Carolina men at the recent
American Legion Convention, among
them Maj. David B. Cowles, '08; Harold
Metz, '16, Luther Hodges, '19, of Leaks-
ville ; Col. Rodman, department com-
mander of North Carolina, and R. H
Rouse, Law, 'IS.
Mr. Crawford is commander of San
Francisco Post No. 1, American Legion,
with 900 members and one of the larg-
est posts in the state. He is alternate to
the national executive committee of the
Legion and a member of the Democratic
state central committee. He was dis-
charged from the army as first lieuten-
ant, infantry, in the fall of 1920 and later
took an LL.B. in the University of Cali-
fornia. H. H„ Jr., arrived a year ago.
Here's a Suggestion
George H. Cooper is pastor of the
Haven Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Salisbury and chaplain of the Samuel C.
Hart post of the American Legion. Also
he is chaplain of the Salisbury Civitan
Club. He writes :
It is useless to tell you U. N. C. is on
the map in Salisbury. Her sons play an
important part in every activity in the
city. It would be interesting to have
someone prepare a "Who's Who" in all
the larger towns of the state and find out
what U. N. C. men are doing.
With Rondthaler in Europe
Francis Bradshavv, '16, has received
from Theodore Rondthaler, '19, who is
spending the year travelling in Europe,
the following letter postmarked Tours,
France :
Greetings and peace on the earth. They
may put an ocean in the way but they
can't stop good greetings. Thank the
Lord I don't need ectoplasm to live in the
presence of my friends. Yesterday, be-
ing Thanksgiving Day, and as we sus-
pended the rules and the ban on English,
thoughts naturally wandered back to real
old Chapel Hill — and you are the gainer
by a letter. How on earth are things
chez vous? The missus, my love to her;
and tell Parson hello when you see him.
I get a clipping now and then from
mother ; or a stray Review — all the rest
is darkness and doubt.
Oh, but this has been a wonder year !
A good shot hits the crossroads — this
has been one ; at last : satiety and vaga-
bondage ; sweet restlessness — what a
capital to lose ! And the pain of curi-
osity satisfied. Some bits of snap-shots
enclosed scarcely suggest the color of the
skies, much less the odor of the soils,
the story in gorgeous two weeks tour
through Switzerland into France, and
much about therein. Then I came down
here and closeted up with the language —
which seige ends today. The plan is
now: a turn up into Holland, a twist of
the tail in Belgium — and then on back to
Christmas and U. S. A., the only land on
earth.
Apart from utterly wrecking faith and
sapping the last trace of the loving-kind
ness, the crudest theft of life and study
in present-day Europe is that of hope.
A compassion, without hope, for its peo-
ple, and a black distrust of this world
they live in — the whole of it, you under-
stand— is the precious bequest of a year
in Europe today. There are sufferings
here which melt the heart; there are
hatreds which deform it, and despairs
which freeze it so. One will weep for
the individuals one knows, but turn one's
back on the whole with a coldness that
only a cynic should feel.
The old in Europe has taken on a new
life since the vacation days when our
fathers knew it, because the times which
bred the old and the atmosphere which
quickened it have returned again. Old
castles on the Rhine are as songless as
their builders were grim ; and a gaping
hole in Reims Cathedral tells a story of
heaven that stained glass windows were
invented to deny.
I leave England, as you observe, for
"the next time." England is easier.
Meanwhile, thank heaven, there's one
place left, which may even survive my
three score ten, where luck and oceans
have made a happy people and produced
a thousand workshops — a good opiate,
work — where I belong.
THE ALUMNI REVIEW

McKay's Impressions of Europe
Arnold A. McKay, '13, Professor of
English in the United States Naval
Academy, Annapolis, Md., who has just
returned from a four months tour of
Europe, presents his impressions in an
interesting manner in the following letter
to The Review :
After four months spent in central
Europe I am entirely willing to admit
that I know absolutely nothing about
conditions over there. Since first im-
pressions are generally the most lasting,
however, I have come back with some
very definite opinions — or prejudices if
you like — concerning certain European
countries and their ideals. I hesitate to
write them down, but since every other
American carpetbagger is doing the same
thing, I can't be shamed into remaining
silent.
Before proceeding to the awful duty
of castigating Europe, let me mention the
only two incidents that stand out as
bright lights in an otherwise drab though
interesting picture. In Geneva I saw in
a hotel a fellow who looked like a Caro-
lina man. It proved to be Eugene Bar-
nett, "former secretary of the Y. M. C.
A., and now a power in the new China.
He wore a silk shirt and looked prosper-
ous. He talked most interestingly of
China and its hopes showing a familiar-
ity with the political and economic forces
at work there that was both astonishing
and gratifying. He was on his way into
Germany. Another Carolina man was at
Lausanne, Edgar Turlington, who had
gone there on some mission connected
with the Department of State. He is
now in Constantinople on a similar mis-
sion. He is handsomely, fitted, both by
temperament and training, for such work
and is no doubt quite happy in it.
Depressing as most of the trip was,
however, there were some compensatory
features. For example, in Berlin I met
a famous United States senator — one of
the "bitter enders," a noble legionnaire
in the battalion of death. I asked him
what he thought of Europe. He called
me aside and with fatherly solicitation
whispered confidentially in my ear : "I'll
tell you what is wrong with Europe. It's
war !" That was the only piece of genu-
ine humor I ran into in all the 5.000
miles of travel — and I visited all the
cabarets and amusement places, too.
But to return to the castigation — or
rather the characterization — of certain
European countries. Here is how they
impressed me :
France : like an old stage beauty who
has lost none of her winning personality
and who still insists that she is young,
vigorous ; and a headliner. Yet every
one of her warmest admirers realize that
she is beginning to slow up. France to-
day is suffering from bad leadership.
Her ruinous policy in the Ruhr can have
but one result: inflame her partisans, im-
poverish her citizens, and estrange her
neighbors. She is weakening the kindly
syrnpathy and support that powerful
friends would like to offer.
Numa F. Heitman, 'S3, of Kansas City,
•ioneer and constructive leader of the legal
profession in Missouri.
Holland : a profiteer type of country.
Like America she is inordinately wealthy.
A mediocre country, well-ordered, with-
out any conspicuous faults or virtues.
Switzerland: overrun by American and
English tourists. Except for the snow
and an entrancing lake here and there,
it is not half so beautiful as western
North Carolina — honestly.
Austria: a bankrupt aristocrat that the
League of Nations has given a new lease
on life.
Italy: Napoleonic with weak gestures
of strength. Becomes greatly peeved if
the rest of the world does not take seri-
ously her tawdry mimicry.
Belgium : the most patriotic and na-
tionalistic of all European countries.
Has more soldiers to the square mile and
less producers, perhaps, than even
France.
Germany : despite their stupidity and
grossness, the German people — not the
German war party, mind you — are by all
odds the most vigorous and most power-
ful in Europe. There may be a strong
militaristic sentiment there still, but I
can honestly say that I did not see any
evidence of it and I tried to talk with all
classes. Given half a chance, Germany
should develop into a powerful republic
in fact as well as in name.
And I returned thinking what of my
own country? I came back with the
feeling that America has for a time laid
aside her ideals. She has forgotten she
ever had a soul. Today the greatest
menace to the peace of the world is the
United States of America because of our
stupid foreign policy, our smug content-
ment, and our tepid attitude towards all
matters that do not directly concern us.
We are not militaristic and vicious, but
careless and thoughtless. While Europe
is suffering from bad leadership, America
is suffering from no leadership at all ;
and I am not sure which is worse.
George Gordon Battle told his fellow
alumni aDout it on University Day. A
gentleman on S street, Washington, also
had a few words to say November 10 on
our present foreign policy. When such
great leaders point the way, it is not
necessary for others to express their
opinions. I have come back from Europe
witli the very ardent conviction, tempered
and strengthened by contact with the old
world jealousies, superstitions, hatreds,
and necessities, that we ought to help.
How, I am sure I don't know. That is a
problem for our statesmen, financiers,
and sociologists. But it seems to me the
whole tragic question comes back to this :
If we really believe in democracy as a
principle of government, we ought in
some way to offer encouragement to the
European countries who have been left
desolate and helpless by the old order
and who are desperately anxious to try
democracy — anything — that offers escape
and hope. We ought to do this or we
should stop all this moronic prating about
America, the great democracy, the
Fourth of July ideal for the suppressed
nations of the earth. In other and more
cruel words, .we ought to show up or
shut up.
Carolina Men at Oak Ridge
Zack L. Whitaker, of Oak Ridge Insti-
tute, writes :
Below you will find a wee bit of news
relative to some of the alumni here at
Oak Ridge Institute. At our institution,
on the faculty, are five graduates of the
University of North Carolina. They are
as follows: Earle P. Holt, '03; Zack L.
Whitaker, 'IS; J. A. Capps and T. O.
Wright, '17 ; and Amos J. Cummings,
'23. Three of us are married and have
families. E. P. Holt married Miss
Eugenia Harris, of Chapel Hill, in May
1914. He has two children living:
Thomas and E. P. Jr.
J. A. Capps married Miss Esther
Smothers, of Canton, N. C, March 26,
1921. To them, on July 29, 1923, was
born a daughter, Martha.
I was married to Miss Mary Blair
Maury of Danville, Va., June 3, 1922.
We have a fine son, Thomas Early, II,
born August 25, 1923.
Practical Jokers
The following extract concerning Ab-
ner Nash, '06, is from a Newburg, Ind..
newspaper :
Hoisting engineers, employed on the
construction of Dam 47, Newburg, are
practical jokers, according to Abner
Nash, government supervising engineer.
"Look at this white shirt!" said Nash.
It was peppered with soot, oily and
black.
"Whenever they see a man with a
white shirt approach they open the steam
valves and blow out the flues," he said.
"The soot comes swirling down in
massed clouds."

Quincy Sharpe Mills, North Carolinian
After rising to high success in ten years, this brilliant young editorial
writer of The Evening Sun, of New York, was killed in an attack on the German
lines in July of 1918.
Now a rarely appealing memoir of him has been brought out by Putnam's
under the title of "One Who Gave His Life". It tells of Mills' boyhood, his
college days in Chapel Hill, his struggles in New York, and finally his experiences
in the Army. The volume contains letters that give an unusually vivid picture
of the war.
No North Carolinian — especially no alumnus of the University, which
Mills loved so deeply — should be without this book.

How to multiply your estate by 3
D
O YOU realize that you can multiply your estate about three times by
means of a Life Insurance Trust with The Wachovia?
Let us illustrate: — Suppose you put $10,000 in cash, securities or other pro-
perty into an irrevocable Voluntary Trust with us.
This Trust would yield about $600 a year, — enough to pay the premiums
on $20,000 in life insurance for a man of 35.
Then if anything should happen to you, your estate would be worth $30,000
instead of $10,000 — apart from your other property.
And this $30,000 would be held in Trust for your heirs, giving them an
income for life.
More about this Trust is told in our booklet, "A Question
the Future Will Not Answer," sent free upon request

All successful men

THEY call it Efficiency. But
it amounts to the same thing.
Because, stripped of its purely
technical significance, the Toasted
Process is efficiency by another
name. It represents the last ounce
of effort which, in all the produc-
tions of men, distinguishes the
isolated examples of quality.
