OPINION AND COMMENT
The Athletic The conference on athletics between
Conference representatives of the faculty, the
alumni, and the students, that met
in Chapel Hill at the call of the faculty committee on
athletics as set forth on another page, was a most
notable meeting. In the first place, it led immediately
to important changes in the management of athletics.
No single change could be of greater importance at
present than the selection of a coach. The conference
committed itself to the system of alumni coaching, and
to the policy of alumni responsibility for the coaching.
It declared for the highest type of training for the
men on the teams, and for a consistent policy from
year to year. It recognized the need of money, and
the alumni present agreed to see that additional money
was raised. The note was repeatedly sounded in the
meeting that the success of the University in athletics
was an interest not merely of the immediate University
community, but of the alumni everywhere, and of the
whole State. The committee that takes up the work
of directing athletic affairs assumes, therefore, a
responsibility that cannot be overestimated. If suc-
cessfully done, it will not be by blind luck; it will be
by patient thought and hard work. The committee
deserves, at the hands of everybody interested in the
University, loyal support and appreciation.
Getting On this point of loyalty, and the neces-
Together sary solidarity of the University group,
there is sometimes an unfortunate lack
of faith, largely, we believe, through a lack of under-
standing. Many alumni feel that the faculty are
unsympathetic theorists, perhaps even tyrants in deal-
ing with athletic questions. They feel this particularly
in the matter of athletic eligibility rules. Tiny are
perfectly willing to admit that individually the mem
bers of the eligibility committee are loyal ami sympa
thetic gentlemen, alumni just as their critics are
alumni, and as intimately interested and patriotii
any men could possibly be; but they feel that when
these faculty men combine into a committee the)
both their intelligence and patriotism, ami 1' with
a sort of unholy glee against the success of the coll
they love. There is a feeling that the athletic rt
of the University are too stringent, and that the in
pretation of them is more stringent in spirit than the
rules are in letter. Nobody has specifically claimed,
however, that the rules as a whole are more -tringent
than those of any other reputable University, or that
they are anything other than the standard amateur
athletic rules; nor has the charge that the interpn
tion of them is too severe ever been made t
definitely to a single case.
The main difficulty in this important matter of
ting together on the rules is a question of tl
The difference of opinion and the failure i.i un
stand is, in nine cases out of ten, in the facts, and
a difference in judgment or standards of judgment.
What is said on the streets, and in the hotels and the
clubs, in the tense atmosphere of a great athl<
tie, is always exaggerated, ami often altogether un-
true. We all recognize this, but lacking any b<
information we naturally build our conclusions
hectic talk of the street. The poinl we wish to empha-
size is this: we could facilitate the understanding ami
co-operation necessary to our success if
such as this recent one could he held dice or \\\

pens that any disagreement remains between the

fully acquired, and therefore not easily forgotten.
College men have learned through football that there
are no short cuts and shady paths to permanent vic-
tory. Practical athletics means the practice of high
standards. The place of honor that the athletes of
colleges struggle for is denied to the college that adopts
dishonorable methods of getting men or sharp prac-
tices in winning games. Not that the converse neces-
sarily holds: that a college that adopts and sticks to
high standards always wins games. Something more
than honesty is necessary to successful practice. But
no college in this country has any athletic recognition
whose teams and whose policies and practices do not
measure up to the highest standards. Teams not rep-
resentative of the best in college life may flash an
occasional victory; but the college is a permanent
thing, and an occasional victory or even a year or two
of victory does not serve its purpose. Teams come
and go, but the college stays. The price paid for
victories falsely won is a weakened patriotism, a
debauched athletic spirit within, a bankrupt schedule.
and disrepute among its competitors. One of the
greatest services that football has performed is to
teach college men to suppress temptations in the face
of the fiercest desire; to lead them to see that right
and might are in the long run the same. It has been a
hard fight, and the fight is still on, but it has been
worth the struggle. No chapter in American college
life is more interesting than the evolution of athletic
ethics.

The New Mr. T. C. Trenchard. better known, in
Coach the familiar terms of affection, as "Dog-
gie," is now the directing head of ath-
letics at the University. It is not necessary to ask
the alumni to give him their loyal support. He is their
choice, and he is the sort of man that inspires support.
The intense spirit of an interested fighting man. backed
by a knowledge of local conditions, and a genuine love
of the college make him a leader who will be not only
faithful, but also victorious.

The Bureau In order that the extension work
of Extension' which the University is now doing,
through lectures, correspondence,
publications, and material loaned from the University
library, may be more thoroughly systematized, that it
may be further increased, and that the University's
connection with the State may be made more directly
helpful, a Bureau of Extension has been formed, and
is now ready for service.
"A Professional Library for Teachers in Secondary
Schools." just from the press, is the first number of a
series of Extension Bulletins which the Bureau will
issue. It is prepared by the Department of Education
of the University and is a carefully annotated list of
eighty books and journals covering the field of second-
ary education. Other bulletins are now being planned
of which one will be devoted to the discussion ot
municipal problems and will contain a list of books
dealing with municipal matters of every kind. The
proceedings of a Rural Life Week, to be held in con-
nection with the Summer School, will constitute
another number. This latter, in addition to the pro-
ceedings, will contain lists of book relating to country
life in all of its phases; and such books as the Univer-
sity library has upon these topics, as well as the books
contained in the "Professional Library," will be loaned
to inquirers under proper restrictions. This number
will be widely distributed throughout the State.
The committee in charge of the work is composed of,
Professors P. R. Wilson, K. K. Graham. M. IP Stacy.
X. VV. Walker, A. II. Patterson, and C. P. Raper. The
suggestion of ways by which the work may be made
successful locally will be appreciated.

bring back to the Hill many University men who are
now teaching in this and other States. In accepting
the gift of $40,000 from the Peabody Fund Trustees,
the University obligated itself to spend $10,000
annually upon the extension of the department's gen-
eral work. This means better equipment and a larger
teaching force; and the day of a completely organ-
ized school of Education, with practice school, exten-
sion courses, and an increasingly successful summer
school, seems, through it, to have been brought very
near.
The Fall registration, the size of the freshman class,
the increase in the summer school, the number of
volumes added to the library, the total number of
graduate students working for the Ph. D. degree, like-
wise come under the head "the biggest ever." The
Debating Union, the County Clubs, the Greater Coun-
cil, and The Review, though unmentioned in the
report, figure in the new movements which have as
their purpose the bringing about of the Greater Uni-
versity.
The needs of the University are none the less keen
by reason of their oft repetition. To mention only
those outlined by the President, to the exclusion of
those of the heads of various departments and officers,
the list is as follows : First and foremost, an increase
in maintenance from $87,000 to $100,000; $40,000 for
a modern, adequate dining-hall to take the place of
Commons, and provide, under University control, for
the boarding of at least six hundred students ; $60,000
and $35,000 respectively for physical and geological
laboratories; $50,000 for a recitation building, to pro-
vide room for the five or six hundred weekly recita-
tions which overwhelm the present recitation-room
capacity of the University and make practically
impossible the addition of other classes to the schedule ;
$35,000 and $25,000 each for haw and Pharmacy
buildings; $75,000 for another group of dormitories;
$30,000 for the enlargement of the waterworks plant
which, at present, is entirely without filter-bed and
settling reservoirs, and which can keep only half a
day's supply of water ahead; $15,000 for a Practio
vSchool for the use of prospective teachers; $45,0)00 to
pay for the purchase of the Central Hotel, the Uni-
versity Inn, and the Mitchell grant, the interesl on
which account at present is being paid from the gen-
eral fund of the University; $25000 for repairs on
the twenty-odd buildings comprising the I 'nivcrsily
plant; and $10,000 for enlarging the Chapel so that
the entire student body may be able (an utter im]
sibility at present; to meet at one time in a
auditorium to attend chapel exercises, University lec-
tures, or any general University meeting.

launched recently under the auspices of the Dial*
and Philanthropic Societies, will have been held in
something over a hundred communities in the State
and at the Hill. The local contests will be held
on Friday night, February 21, and the final debate

two weeks later.

The New Below The Review presents, under
Crop the heading "The New Crop," a running
story of the educational work of twelve
directors of large educational forces who went into
service from the University during the decade 1890-
1900. In the work of these men (the number in this
special held and in others could be extended at length)
every alumnus is interested, and of it The Review is
altogether proud. It pictures the University man as
strong, vigorous, useful, repaying the State many fold
and gladly, for the service rendered him individually.
The University To Governor Craig, of the Execu-
in the State's tive Department, to Chief Justice
Service Clark, of the Judicial Department,
and to President pro tern. Pharr
and Speaker Connor, of the Legislative Department,
together with all other University of North Carolina
men associated with them in the public service of the
State, The Review extends greetings. May you serve
the State well, and thus add further honor to your
alma mater.
THE NEW CROP
University Men of the Nineties Take Their Place in Large Educational Movements
When the alumni speakers on the program of exer-
cises for University Day, 1910, concluded their
addresses, an indefinable something in the atmosphere
led to the conviction that a new generation of strong,
effective alumni, from the classes of 1890-1900, had
come to the fore to take its part in the field of educa-
tional activity in the State and nation; that the work
of the men of the eighties — Alderman, Aycock,
Mclver, Foust, Pell, Noble, Joyner — not only zvas to
be supplemented, but was being supplemented and
extended in new directions by their younger brothers ;
that a new crop of University men, inspired with the
ideals which had given largeness and power to the
lives of their elders, had settled down to their life
work— the work of bringing to the children of North
Carolina and the Union a larger educational outlook.
Since that day of home-coming, other evidences have
accumulated to show that University ideals continue
potent and that the I niversity is giving to the State
men from whose present work and promise of future
achievement are to be derived educational blessings
no whit less than those derived from the past and
present labors of their predecessors. The University
stock remains aggressively vital, and in public life, in
business, in the professions, as well as in the special
field treated of here — the directing of large educational
forces— the University is contributing a hundredfold
to the better life of the State.
It is further of note that in the service of these
there is largely evident the element of self expres-
sion. They are native North Carolinians, a part of the
war], and woof of the State. They have grown up on
C; rolina farms or in Carolina towns. They have
f the call of their own blood and kin. They have
• . ,,H ' ' '-'-e needs of the State from the point of view
of then o\w, ..oerience. as well as from that of expe-
rience gained >utside. Todav they move forward
prepared in a peculiar way for the tasks to which they
are unreservedly giving themselves. Pull, position
artificial promotion, have played no part. These
strong sons of the State have seen the vision in the
large, and have gone forth to realize it.

Associating his brother with himself, he began to plan
for Watauga Academy. He secured $1,000 in sub-
scriptions for a building which was to cost $3,000. The
public school was taught, the school census being 53,
and the salary for teachers $22.50 per month. In Jan-
uary, 1900, the subscription school opened with "four
students. Everybody predicted failure. The second
year prospects brightened. In January, 1901, the
school opened with an even hundred. A normal

academic students and prospective teachers were

to such an extent that it became too large for private

tain counties. The plans were embodied in a bill.

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
In the case of the Appalachian Training School, the
plan and development are traceable to Dougherty.
I 'resident R. H. Wright, '97, did not project the plan
for the establishment of the East Carolina Training
School, but he took from the Board of Trustees of
that institution an incomplete, undeveloped plant on
July 1, 1909, gathered a faculty each member of which
was especially fitted for the special duties to be per-
formed, determined upon the character of work the
school should do, outlined the courses of instruction,
brought the institution prominently before the people,
Walter Thompson, '98
.and on October 5, opened the school doors into which,
during regular terms and summer terms, 1,762 stu-
dents have been admitted. Since March 6, 1911, 607
students have been refused admittance on account of
lack of room. Of the thirty-five graduates, all are
teaching, and eighty-five per cent, of the students who
are teaching are filling positions in the elementary
country schools. Trained under typical North Caro-
lina conditions, President Wright thoroughly under-
stands the educational need of North Carolina. His
hobby, if he has one, is the trained teacher, and he
bends every energy to give, through a school in every
sense modern and thorough, the trained teacher to
North Carolina's elementary schools.
^ %. ^c ifc $z
While Dougherty and Wright have been training the
teacher for the country school, the problem of that
important educational unit has been receiving thought-
ful, penetrating study from another side. There are
very few statistics to give concerning the results
accomplished, and the story of that work does not
"write itself in the same picturesque way that some
of the other stories of educational progress have the
1. M. Hardy, 00
way of doing. But the studies of L. C. Brogden,
Supervisor of Rural Schools, are bringing into promi-
nence methods and plans which will soon come into
general practice, and in the coming will be followed
with a train of large benefits. There isn't anything
spectacular about the visitation of a "one-teacher"
school, in which one instructor "hears" thirty or thirty-
five recitations a day, and disciplines from twenty-five
to fifty children. But the result of such visitation leads
to the conclusion that the "one-teacher'' school — the
prevailing type at present — must go, and that the con-
solidated school, with several teachers, and the trans-
portation of pupils must take its place. This study
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
8r
brings the day nearer when school committeemen will
form central organizations for the study of school
problems; when the school plant will be mafic more
useful as a community center; and when county com-
mencements will illustrate strikingly the unanimity
of the people of whole counties in the one thing of
vital importance to them — the better education of their
children and their neighbors' children.
Of this work which Brogden has been doing since
his connection with the State Department of Educa-
tion in 1909, and which is partly outlined in a mono-
graph published as a thesis for the M. A. at Columbia
University in 1912, Dr. A. P. Bourland, General Agent
of the Trustees of the Peabody Education Fund,
expert in matters relating to rural schools, has this

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
Smith is in a very remarkably successful way doing

that he is not called on to contribute something of
value on the outside and, incidentally again, in the row
of class-roll books which he has been keeping since he
began teaching history and English here on the Hill
k in 1896, there are the names of 1,285 men and
2 ^65 women— 3,750 sons and daughters of North
Carolina— who have come under the tutelage ana
influence of one of North Carolina's best teachers.
The point has been made earlier in this article that
the men of the nineties in this special limited field (the
county and city superintendentships, the professor-
ships.' etc., filled by other equally successful Carolina
nun have necessarily been forced out of considera-
tion by space limitations) are extending the work of
Schools, made him the available man. With a capac-
ity of sixty (soon to be increased to ninety) boys, this
school marks the beginning of a new method of treat-
ment of juvenile offenders. Here, for the first time,
the principle of conservation and reclamation has been
applied to the youth of the State, with the gratifying
result that character and worth are being conserved to
the advancement of useful citizenship.
Dr. Hardy has been for a number of years a prac-
titioner in Washington, this State. Just when the
idea of the need of a school for the mentally deficient
children came to him, he has not revealed. But in
191 1, during the session of the General Assembly, he
appeared in Raleigh with his idea embodied in the
preliminary draft of a bill, and began talking the
measure. His idea made an appeal that could not be

their older brothers. The call of Alderman and
Aycock and Mclver and Noble was "to educate."
Their task was to show the necessity of education.
With Joyner and Foust. these younger men have had
to continue that work, and bring into use the most
approved methods of educating.
^ ^? ^ % ^
A still further step has been taken by two of this
later group — W. R. Thompson, '98, of the Jackson
Training School, and I. M. Hardy, ex-'oo, of the School
for the Feeble-Minded. The child who is delinquent
or deficient has been sought out, and provision for his
development has been made. The idea, in the case of
Thompson, did not originate with him. Rut when the
women of the State, in 1007, secured appropriations
for the maintenance of a reformatory, Mr. Thomp-
son's work in Concord, as Superintendent of the City
C. H. Johnston, '98
resisted. In both branches of the Legislature men
took up the idea — a number of them University men —
and pushed the matter to a successful issue. In his
recent message, Governor Kitchin referred apprecia-
tively to the fact that the school would soon open, and
Dr. Hardy has announced that the capacity of the
school had already been more than covered by applica-
tions. The laggard in the school who has seen
through the glass but darkly, is, through the special
training skillfully to be applied in this latest of our
schools, to see the larger light!
A variety of interests and services has been indi-
cated thus far. Apart from his work as a historian
and as the Secretary of the North Carolina Historical
Commission, which is very significant, the work of
R. D. W. Connor, '99, in unifying these interests, and
in perfecting the Greater Teachers' Assembly, has a

value the greatness of which lias as yet been but little
realized. In 1908, when Mr. Connor came to the
Secretaryship of the Assembly, he found a compar-
atively small membership, the proceedings unpub-
lished, the Assembly duplicating, in part, the work of
a number of then separate organizations, and holding
its meetings at times and places which did not admit
of the serious kind of work desired. Furthermore,
there was no money in the treasury, and the outlook
was not over-bright. The task of changing these con-
ditions was immediately taken up. The membership
has grown to 685. The date of the meetings has been
changed to the Thanksgiving period, during which

every teacher in the State is off duty and consequently
can attend. The proceedings have been published
annually, in which a body of educational material
bearing directly on North Carolina problems is being
accumulated for future use. Eight hitherto separate
educational organizations have been brought into one
central body. A surplus has been accumulated in the
treasury, and the Assembly is ready to place a paid
secretary in the field. By means of this centralized
body, distinguished educators from other States can
be secured for special addresses, educational sentiment
as to reforms and legislation can be effectively
expressed and each teacher who attends the meetings
of the Assembly can and does feel the thrill of inspira-
tional uplift which comes from united stimulating
effort.
The criticism is sometimes made that the Univ<
men find their life-work in othei

department. Similar work to that now being under-
taken by the Bureau of Extension, by the Societies, by
the County Clubs, and by the Department of Educa-
tion, has been planned and worked out in detail in
many particulars by him, and within the past few
months his book on the High School has become the
guide to which all of our high schools and city schools
can refer for a clear statement of problems incident
to their organization and management.
The list in this special field could easily be pro-
longed. It might also be suggested that the decade
1900-1910 is producing its contributors. It might
be further suggested that in other fields — public
health, legislation, business, the professions — men from
the classes of the nineties are serving their State
splendidly. In their activities as well as those of the
men mentioned the same fact stands out clearly : the
new crop is virile, and in producing it the University
has done exceedingly well.
It was not intended, at the beginning of this article,
to predict as to the future, but the opening of Peabody
Hall in May, the new home of the Department of
Education, makes a statement of this nature admis-
sible. It is not risking too much to predict that when
the activities to center in that special building get
under way, when the men of the eighties and nineties
and others give gack to future students their fund of
experience, when literature and the results of special
investigations on all subjects relating to the educa-
tional needs of the State are brought together in that
department for study, and when a larger group of
inspiring teachers carry forward the present work of
teacher-training, the State may look in confidence
for an even greater degree of service from the sons of
the University.
THE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
The Alumni Share in the Future Management of Athletics
At the invitation of the faculty athletic committee,
representative and interested alumni came to Chapel
Hill December 16, for the faculty-student-alumni
Athletic Conference. Those in attendance at the con-
ference were Messrs. Walter Murphy and Stahle Linn
of Salisbury, Brent Drane, George Thomas, and J. A.
Parker of Charlotte. Albert Cox, Perrin Busbee, and
C. O. Abernathy of Raleigh. W. F. Carr and Foy
Roberson of Durham, J. M. Thompson of Graham, and
James A. Gray, Jr., of Winston-Salem, representing
the alumni ; President Yenable, Drs. Herty, Royster,
Henderson, Mangum, Raper. and Professors Howell.
Graham. Winston, and Patterson of the faculty; and
L. P. McEendon, W. E. Wakeley, W. S. Tillett. E. L.
Abernathy, Walter Stokes, F. P. Graham, and George
L. Carrington, of the student body. The meeting went
into the matter of finances, coaching, schedule, and
eligibility rules as contributing causes to the disastrous
season.
As a basis for definite action. Mr. Albert Cox pre-
sented a plan for alumni participation in the athletic
management. The result was a decision for a reorgan-
ization in the athletic system with a view to represent-
ing the whole life of the University— faculty, alumni,
and students. The nature of this system is expressed
in the composition and duties of the four committees:
the faculty athletic committee, the student athletic
council, the resident committee, and the general
alumni committee.
The faculty committee will continue to administer
the eligibility rules, whose strictness in enforcement
was approved in recognition of the University's stand
for amateur athletics. The student athletic council,
established last year, will continue its work, under the
advisement of a member of the faculty, for concen-
trated efficiency in local management. The resident
committee will be composed of two members of the
faculty. Dr. J. F. Royster and Prof. P. II. Winston,
the head coach, the president of the athletic associa-
tion, and the graduate manager. This committee will
have supervision of schedules, supplies, and local
arrangements. The general alumni committee, the
proposal of which was accepted by the athletic council,
is to be composed of seven members, four alumni to be
chosen by the alumni council, and three other mem-
bers, one of whom is to be a member of the faculty
and two of whom may be students. The men chosen
for this committee are Mr. George Stephens of Char-
lotte. Mr. Albert Cox of Raleigh. Mr. C. G. Wright of
Greensboro. Mr. James A. Gray, Jr., of Winston-
Salem. Dr. C. S. Mangum of the faculty, L. P.
McLendon, graduate manager, and Frank Drew, under-
graduate manager, of the student body. This committee
will have power to choose the head coach and the
special coaches, and to arrange for the return of
alumni assistants. With a guarantee from the athletic
iciation of $1,000 plus half the net profits, this
committee will provide for the expenses of coaching,
and will meet all deficits. Thus it is seen that under this

ATHLETIC SCHEDULES
Carolina and A. & M. Resume Athletic Relations
The baseball schedule as given below is practically
final, though there may be a few changes as to dates
and places of two or three games. It will be noted that
the schedule comprises twenty-three games, eight of
which are to be played in North Carolina towns other
than Cbapel Hill, eleven in Chapel Hill, and four in
Virginia towns. For several reasons it has been
deemed advisable not to arrange a long northern trip
this season, as has been the custom in the past. \\ e
are very anxious to get the Athletic Association on a
good financial basis this year, and these long trips
have always proven very expensive.
The schedule as it stands is a very good one from
a financial standpoint, and with even a fairly success-
ful team we ought to be able to make some money on
the season. From the standpoint of the champion-
ship of Virginia and North Carolina, it is the best
schedule that could have been arranged. It includes at
least one game with every representative team in the
two States except Trinity College.

rington, center; Redmon and Chambers, guards; Tillett
and Mebane Long, forwards. Ranson and Holme-
wood are close competitors.
BASEBALL
Three of last year's varsity baseball squad are in
college now. Thad Page, outfielder, did not return
for the Spring term. YVinstead, shortstop, had to
leave college in the fall on account of a nervous break-
down due 1" worry and overwork in preparing for the
pharmacy board. Coach Bowers will have Captain
Burr Edwards, third baseman, Jim Leak, first sacker,
and Carl Bailey, second baseman, as a nucleus for
developing a team.
Bowers is highly recommended by Connie Alack.
He has played in the Tri- State League, and was until
injured a member of the Anderson team of the Caro-
lina Association last year. He has been coach of the
DeLancey High School, Philadelphia. Manager
Strange has scheduled games with the A. & M. College.
TRACK
In the four-mile cross country run between A. & M.
and Carolina, Smith of A. & M., came into the sight,
of the five hundred spectators a few steps in the lead
of Cobb. As they strained neck and neck for the
spectacular finish little Collier dashed across the tape
a few steps in the lead. Spence and Captain Patterson
crossed in quick succession, followed by Horton of
A. & M., Ranson and Whiting of Carolina. "Pat,"
the younger, preceded the last three A. & M. men.
The score was Carolina 26, A. & M. 14. Cobb finished
in twenty-two minutes and twenty-seven seconds.
The track schedule prepared by Manager Stokes is
as follows :
Interclass Meet, March 29.
A. & M., April 5.
Washington and Lee, April 12.
South Atlantic Meet, May 2 and 3.
The following letter men are in training: Patter-
son, captain, Spence and Cobb, long distance men;
Wollcott, high jumper; Blalock, broad jumper;
Wakely, quarter miler; Strong, pole vaulter; and
Sears, dasher. These nun have already placed Caro-
lina to the front on the Southern track.
'Doggie" Trenchard Chosen
The General Athletic Committee composed of
Messrs. George Stephens, Albert Cox. C. G. Wright,
and Janice s. Gray. Jr., of the alumni, L. P. McLendon
and Frank Drew of the student body, and Dr. Chas.
S. Mangum of the faculty met in Chapel Hill January
27, and selected T. C. Trenchard to be head football
coach under a contract for three years. Trenchard is
one of the greatest players that Princeton has ever
developed and was placed at end on the All-time Ail-
American Eleven. Besides being a great practical
player he is possessed of coaching experience both at
Chapel Hill and Princeton. Soon after his graduation
from Princeton in 1894 he coached remarkably SUC-
cessful Carolina teams.
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
87
For a number of years it has been his loyal custom
to return to Princeton for several weeks of the foot-
ball season as special coach of ends. As an adopted
alumnus of Carolina he often helped to round out the
preparation for the Virginia game. Trenchard reports
for duty March 1, to begin the spring football prac-
tice with the good wishes of all.
Financial Standing of the Athletic Association
The following figures, furnished by the Treasurer

Commencement, 1913
I'lans for the coming commencement, June 1 to 4,
have been so far perfected that President Venable has
announced that Vice-President-elect Marshall, of
Indiana, will deliver the commencement address, and
Rev. E. Y. Mullins, D.D., of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, of Louisville, Ky., will preach
the baccalaureate sermon. The details of all the plans
are now being determined upon, and in a later issue
will be given in full.
A change decided on in the program for commence-
ment week which will meet the approval of all the
alumni is that Alumni Day, in recent years Monday,
will be moved back to Tuesday, in order that alumni
may have an opportunity to reach the Hill on Monday
night and make ready for a full enjoyment of all the
performances of the "old grads."
A further change to which wide publicity should be
given is that the unveiling of the monument to the
memory of University men in the Civil War will be
postponed from May 10, the date previously
announced, to Monday, June 2, of commencement
week. Preparations are going forward to feature this
part of the program in keeping with the prominence
which it deserves.
The indications are that commencement records
will again be broken. Mark the date, and "make
reservations" now !

The Glee Club and Orchestra Please
The concert of the Glee Club and Orchestra on
December 6 was an event of unusual importance.
Although it is a truism that the artistic sense in man
needs developing as well as the intellect, it is not every
college glee club that can become a factor in this devel-
opment. The members of the University Glee Club
and Orchestra may well be congratulated on the fact
that, under the able leadership of Mr. Sneath and Mr.
Woollen, they have become a most important factor.
The whole concert was a delight, both in the music
rendered and in the spirit in which it was given. The
music, though of course light and tuneful as is most
fitting for such an occasion, was really good music.
In a program so well chosen and wholly delightful, ifj
is perhaps unnecessary to particularize; but one can
not help remembering with special pleasure the exquis-

The John Calvin McNair Lectures for 1913 were
delivered on January 24, 25, and 26, by Dr. Fran.
Peabody, professor of Christian Morals at
University. The subjects were "The
ability of the Christian Life," -'Christian Life
the Modern Family," and '■Christian Life and
Business." Gerrard Hall was crowded on all three
nights, and the audiences always showed that sym-
pathetic and intelligent interest that in,

Dr. Peabody's message was, in the words of Pn

the practicability of the Christian life in the modern
world, and its utilization in the modern family and

THE UNIVERSITY IN LETTERS
One of the useful and genuinely valuable books
recently issued is The Spirit of French Letters, by
Mabell S. C. Smith (The Macmillan Company, New
York— $1.50). Mrs. Pelton, as she was then known,
is well remembered at the University, where she pur-
sued studies in higher English, and in North Carolina,
where she lived 1 \rden) for many years. Iter novel,
. ! Tar Heel Baron, is remembered with pleasure by its
North Carolina readers — even though it raised a
mighty laugh at Mrs. Pelton for confusing the mythical
language of Northern predisposition with the actual
language of Southern usage. How we all howled
when Mrs. Pelton had her Southern hero looking up
into his mother's eyes and calling her (Heaven pre-
serve us!) — "You all." Why, not even Bud Pressly
would have done that!
In her present work. Airs. Smith gives "such a sur-
vey of French letters as will show their connection with
the conditions — political and economic — of each period
which produced them." The book is divided into the
chapters, the titles of which show something of the
author's aim in showing the parallel developments and
inter-relations of literature and the concomitant forces
of civilization: "Through the Winter Days and After";
"In Lyric Mood"; "Stirrings of Democracy and the
Great Awakening" ; "When the Printing Press Came";
"The Century of Beginnings — The Sixteenth"; "The
Great Century— The Seventeenth"; "Drama through
the Centuries"; "The Century of Discussion— The
Eighteenth"; "The Century of Inventions— The Nine-
teenth"; "Today."
The most notable feature of the book is the great
care displayed in culling apt selections, in English
translation, from French literature throughout the
course of its history. The citations to these works, in
English, thus furnishes a very natural sort of bibliog-
raphy for the general readers ; the special student will
have his course fully dominated, in any case, by his
instructor. The real service which such a book may
perform is twofold. First, it really does give an excel-
lent birdseye view of the France of literature. The
general reader, then, may read this book with both
pleasure and the profit of instruction. Second, it may
be used as a text-book— the citations given serving
merely as a sample of the reading, critical and col-
lateral, to be assigned by the instructor. I shall keep
this book ready to hand. At any time, one may dip
into it, and feel across his brow a breath of the spirit
of French letters.

There has recently appeared a very interesting
bulletin (No. 9, 1912) of the United States Bureau of
Education, by William Starr Myers, Assistant Pro-
fessor of History and Politics, Princeton University.
It is entitled Country Schools for City Boys. Profes-
sor Myers describes the general movement now in
progress for supplying city schools with an environ-
ment at once homelike and rural, in large measure
eliminating the serious drawbacks of the average city
school — crowded streets, scant playgrounds, no trees
and flowers, etc. Dr. Claxton suggests that this prin-
ciple might easily be applied to the public high schools,
at least of some cities, "with little or no additional cost
to the public for buildings, grounds, and equipment, or
to individual parents and children for transportation."
The description by Professor Myers of the Baltimore
experiment, resulting in the successful "Homewood,"
the first "Country School for City Boys," succinctly
indicates how such a plan may be carried through.
This school, now entitled The Gilman School, has at
present a faculty of fifteen and a student body of 157.
The advantages of the country school idea almost
express themselves — the retention of home influences,
wanting in the boarding-school ; open-air recreation atj

all times, and thus the exclusion of unhealthful diver-
sions for children, such as moving picture shows,
matinees, etc. The problem for the congested city
districts is open to possible solution, now being adopted
here and there, of utilizing the tops of high buildings
for schools.
At the dedication exercises of the New York State
Education Building, on October 15, 16, and 17. 1912,
Professor Myers spoke from the same platform with
President Chas. R. Van Hise, of Wisconsin, and Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia. Of his
address, on "The Private Schools: Their Place in
American Life," Chancellor Whitelaw Reid (late
Ambassador to Great Britain, deceased) said: "The
beauty of his address was that his youthful vigor and
powerful statements showed his earnest, conscientious
convictions." — A. H.

From one of the sheets weekly disseminated
throughout that State by the University of Kansas, is
taken the following notice:
' 'High School Education', a book by Dean Charles
H. Johnston, of the University of Kansas School of
Education, will be translated into Japanese. Fumino
Ando of the Tsuchiura Middle School, Ibarakiken,
Japan, has written to Dean Johnston asking for such
permission, and arrangements for the Oriental edition
are now in the hands of an Eastern publishing house.
Ando is a graduate of the Tokyo Higher Normal
School and during his course in that institution read
Dean Johnston's book. He was so impressed with the
merit of the work that he desired to rewrite it in his
own language."
Dr. Johnston's High Sclwol Education was reviewed
in the last issue of The Review.
The series of six articles appearing in the News and
Observer under the general title of "A Plea for a Con-
stitutional Convention" by Dr. J. G. deR. Hamilton,
head of the Department of History in the University
have attracted wide attention throughout the State.
and have done more to crystallize sentiment on this
important matter than any other agency. Dr. I [amil-
ton's interest has led him beyond an academic si inly
of the question. He has sought through personal lei
ters and consultations to influence public men. and stir
public opinion to activity. The articles have been
reprinted in pamphlet form, largely through the inter-

At the meeting of the State Literary and Hisl
Association, held in Raleigh, December 3 and 4.
Archibald Henderson proposed a series of important
resolutions looking toward the enhancement of literary
and cultural values, which after d
unanimously adopted. They will he found in the
forthcoming volume of the "Proceedings," pi
by the Association. The most important of
lutions provided for a collection of the literatun
North Carolina. Such a collection, to he installed in
the new Administration Building now in course ol
struction at Raleigh, would foster tin
ture in our midst, placing before tens of thousand
visitors each year tangible evidence "t" accomplishnv
in letters by North Carolinians. Such a collection
would consist of the works of North Carolina ant '
autographed whenever possible; original man:
of such works; autograph poems; lett
lion from famous literateurs; correspond" lit-
erature and art between native men oi
traits, busts, medallions, etc in 1. all
memorials of literature and nun
presen ation in a I fall of Fame.
The importance of such a movement is >{]■

THE ALUMNI REVIEW
A New Lectureship
The need has been felt by the Faculty for a number
of years of a series of lectures provided by the Uni-
versity not only to supplant the psuedo-serious lyceum
type of "attraction" with which the college community
has become too familiar, but to draw to the University
from the outside world of thought and action men
capable of bringing it stimulating inspiring messages.
As a result of a resolution adopted by the Faculty
asking for the establishment of such a lectureship the
Board of Trustees recently made provision for it and
Professors Henderson, Bain, Coker, McGehee, and
MacNider were appointed by the President as a com-
mittee to arrange for it.
On the night of December 5, Edwin Markham, the
poet, appeared in Gerrard Hall as the first lecturer on
the new foundation. Instead of giving a formal lec-
ture, he devoted his time largely to the reading of his
own verse, interspersed with commentary. Among
other selections, he read with rare effect poems on
Edgar Allen Poe, Lincoln, and his masterpiece, "The
Man \\ ith the Hoe." The committee announces Rev.
Samuel McChord Crothers, minister and essayist, as
the next speaker on this foundation.
LETTERS
The Millennium is Still Far Off
Editor Alumni Review:
A recent letter to me from a classmate contains
suggestions in regard to athletic conditions at the Uni-
versity that appear to me sane and sensible. I think
that we cannot look forward to the dawn of the
millennium because of the coming of the alumni system
of coaching. As the quarter-back who helped to beat
Virginia 16 to o about a century ago pertinently
inquires, have the alumni got any system? I set
forth a portion of the letter referred to, and trust
that it may at least stimulate reasonable discussion of
the questions touched upon.
"Experience and reason both say that under normal
conditions Virginia will defeat Carolina at least four
times out of five. The latter has won only once or
twice in the past ten years, and then with a team that
was partly hired. Virginia's advantage lies
"1. In her higher athletic standing drawing trained
athletes from every part of the United States.
"2. In the superiority of the preparatory schools
from which she gets her student body.
"3. In her financially easy circumstances.
"These advantages make it inevitable that under
normal circumstances, her well trained team, picked
from a large offering of pre-trained athletes, will de-
feat our self-developed squad. In other words, Caro-
lina has bit off more than she can chew. What then
shall she do? I believe she should recognize the true
state of affairs and cease to make the whole success of
her season depend on a game in which she is almost
sure to be overwhelmingly defeated. If a fair basis
of agreement could be reached with A. & M., and the
Thanksgiving game be played in Raleigh, Carolina
might expect to win at least three times out of five.
As long as the final game is an important one, the
success of the season will largely depend upon the
outcome of this game. We could still play Virginia
earlier in the season just as we would play George-
town or the Navy. But the season would not be staked
on a foreordained defeat. To this plan two objections
will suggest themselves :
"1. That the season is financed by the Virginia
game, to which I reply: (a) That the gate receipts
of the Virginia game will greatly decrease unless some
change in prospects occurs; (b) That the gate receipts
of an A. & M. game would be very large; (c) That it
is- wrong to sacrifice the loyalty of the alumni for
unearned gate receipts as is now being done.
"2. That the change is inconsistent with the Caro-
lina spirit — never-say-die, etc.
"True the college generation that made the change
wouFd have to make a big sacrifice of pride in admit-
ting what is too clear for argument that Virginia is
our athletic superior, but future college generations
would reap large rewards from that sacrifice in hav-
ing a fair chance at victory and that would mean more
wholesome athletic conditions."

BOOK REVIEW
"A Treatise on Pellagra," by Edward Jenner Wood, '99.
377 pp. D. New York, D. Appleton & Co., 1912
It is especially appropriate that this treatise on pellagra
should come from the pen of Dr. Wood. The author's father
was a pioneer in public health work in this State, and as a
result of his persistent efforts in this direction we have as a
y the present State Board of Health. The medical pro-
fession will welcome this book by a younger pioneer.
The book consists of 377 pages, with 38 illustrations. The
photographs of pellagrins are excellent. The details of the

skin lesions are brought out in an unusually clear way, and
serve the purpose of not only conveying a general idea of the
skin manifestations of the disease, but give a clear interpreta-
tion of the types of eruptions which arc encountered in
pellagra. The text is logical in its arrangement, and the
amount of material in the various chapters is appropriate in its
distribution.
It is unusual to find in a volume of such <ize such an
exhaustive review of the history and distribution of the dis-
ease under discussion. Much of this material has been obtained
from original sources, and in addition to being accurate, throws
much light on the pellagra problem as it exists in this country.
The various theories concerning the etiology of the disease
are clearly presented in an unbiased fashion The etiological
relationship of maize or Indian corn to the disease is out-
lined in a full discussion, and the work of various investi-
gators, especially Tissoni, is reviewed in detail. While this
theory of the origin of pellagra is given first place in the text,
the theory of Sambon that pellagra is an insect-born parasitic
disease and that the parasite may be a protozoan is also fully
presented. To this theory the author gives his support. The
symptoms of pellagra are considered first in a chapter on
"General Characteristics of the Disease," which is followed
by chapters that take up in detail a discussion and an inter-
pretation of the more striking and usual symptoms. This
double presentation serves the purpose of making the clinical
picture both clear and complete. The chapter on the nervous
and mental changes in pellagra is especially full, and its value
is increased by the incorporation of case histories and letters
from patients. The letters show the mental deflections which
so commonly occur in pellagrins. The chapter on the treat-
ment of pellagra is short, conservative, and hopeful.
The book as a whole contains excellent material, which is
presented in an unbiased way, in a clear style, and is remark-
ably free from exaggerations and hasty deductions. Dr. Wood
was one of the first men in America to realize the importance
of th's new disease. It is unfortunate that his illness should
have prevented this treatise from appearing some four years
ago.

The Dramatic Club Scores Ten
The University Dramatic Club made an uncommonly big
hit with its local audience when it presented in Gerrard Hall
on the evening of January 28, George Rroadhurst's amusing
comedy, "What Happened to Jones." The Club's choice of
play was happy, for the large audience convulsed itself with
laughter over the series of humorous complications produced
by the necessity of traveling-salesman Jones's assuming the
identity of the Bishop of Rallyrack, and by the discomfiture
of the learned professor of anatomy in beating a hasty retreat
from a prize fight.
The whole caste, leading and minor characters, displ
unusual talent for playing, and had heaped upon them the con-
gratulations of the whole University for not onlj reviving
dramatics in the University with such a vengeance, hut for

AROUND THE CAMPUS AND TOWN
General Julian S. Carr and the Carr boys have purchased
the entire plant and good will of the Thos. E. Lloyd Manu-
facturing Company, of Chapel Hill, and took charge of the
plant January 15. The new purchase will be operated as one
of the string of mills of the Durham Hosiery Mills, and
will be known as Durham Hosiery Mill No. 7- W. F. Carr
will have charge of the operation of this mill, and John T.
Rough will have charge of the Durham end of the new busi-
ness.
Smokers have largely taken the place of banquets among
the classes and organizations this year. Three were held
by the Seniors during the Fall, and the other classes, the
Societies, and the various clubs have had their innings also.
The informality of the meetings has appealed widely to the
students and has called out a greater interest in "the other
fellow" than has ever been evidenced heretofore.
Through the effort of the Eastern North Carolina Chris-
tian Conference, a church building is being erected on
Cameron Avenue, opposite the Harris place, for the use of
the Christian Church. The church already has an organised
membership of 43, and its new building will soon be
pleted. This will give the village five churches.
Rev. Plato Durham, of Centenary Methodist Church,
Winston-Salem, preached the third University sermon for
'1 e year on Sunday, December 15. His presentation of the
subject, the incarnation of the Master's spirit, was remark-
ably masterful and productive of profound effect.
The Juniors recently elected James T. Pritchett. of Lenoir,
chief marshal for the coming commencement. R. T. Allen,
P. C. Darden, L. R. Johnston, T. A. DeVane, B. D. Apple-
white, and F. D. Conroy were elected marshals.
The query, "Resolved, That without regard to the llay-
Pauncefote treaty, the tolls of the Panama Canal should be
the same for all nations." has been decided upon for the
triangular deflate this spring between Carolina, the University
of Virginia, and Johns Hopkins University. Under the
stipulations the debates will be held on neutral ground, Vir-
ginia and Johns Hopkins meeting at Chapel Hill. Cat
and Virginia meeting at Baltimore, and Carolina and Johns
Hopkm- meeting at Charlottesville. The date for the debates
is Saturday, April 19.
During the holidays T. A DeVane attended the national
convention of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity in Louisville,
Ky. : George Carmichael, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon conven-
tion in Nashville, Term. ; and George L. Carrington, the Sigma
Ups'lon (literary) fraternity at Ashland, Va.
Rev. W. A. Stanbury, for two years pastor of the Methodist
Church of the village, was transferred to Clinton, X. C. at the
meeting of the Xorth Carolina Conference, at Fayetteville,
in December. He is succeeded by Rev. G. S. Bearden, formerly

SMITHFIELD
Friday night, December 27, thirty-two University men
gathered at the Smithfield Hotel to enjoy a banquet given by
the Johnston County Club. Young and old students alike
enjoyed a pleasant evening in discussing questions of interest
to the University. They partook of a sumptuous banquet in
true college style.
Hon. E. W. Pou was the first speaker of the evening. He
took as his subject "The Influence of the University Upon
Myself." He mentioned the high ideals with which he came
in touch, the opportunities for the. development of a strong
man, and the desire for success that came about as a result
of his stay at the University.
Dr. C. L. Raper, Dean of the Graduate School of the
University, delivered the address of the evening. He dis-
cussed the question, "Is the University Aristocratic?" Dr.
Raper said:
"The impression is abroad that the University is aristo-
cratic in its ideals and policies, and that it consequently does
not render unselfishly that universal service which it should
to all the people of North Carolina. Is this impression cor-
rect?
"Aristocracy is a disposition of mind and heart. It usually
comes from the possession of wealth, social standing, or cul-
ture, hut the mere possession of these never in itself makes
one aristocratic. Do the students and faculty have an artisto-
cratic disposition? Do they wish to enjoy exclusively and
selfishly their mental training or their equipment?
"The students are grouped into classes — -graduate or pro-
fessional, senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman ; and every
white boy who has the proper training may become a member
of any of these classes without prejudice, whatever his social
standing or wealth. There is no aristocracy between the
classes except that which the sophomores sometimes display
toward the freshmen. This aristocracy is becoming less, and
it must wholly disappear. The students are grouped into fra-
ternity and non-fraternity men. There has been some aristoc-
racy in this grouping, but this aristocracy must also disappear.
The fraternity may continue to exist, but its aristocracy must
cease to be. The students are also grouped into rich and
poor, but this grouping is practically unmarked. The mere
possession of wealth counts less in Chapel Hill than in most
places of the world.
"The faculty are grouped into various grades of teachers
and officers, but aristrocacy of grade rarely displays itself.
The faculty are grouped into fraternity and non-fraternity
men, but it is never that aristocracy of social standing mani-
fests itself among the professors. The faculty are also grouped
into well-to-do and poor, but aristocracy of wealth plays a
most insignificant part in Chapel Hill.
"Are the professors aristocratic toward the students and
the people? Do they selfishly use their mental training and
culture? There are few professors who are not willing and
eager to render every possible service of mind and heart to
the students ; if the students do not do their part, that is their
fault. There are a good many professors who are always
willing and ready to go outside — to every part of the State —
to render free of charge whatever service they may, as speak-
ers, engineers, etc. That they do not render more of this kind
of service, is solely due to the fact that they do not have the
time.
"It is sometimes said that the professors of the University
do not hold deeply at heart the success of the elementary com-
mon schools. If this is really true, the University is tremen-
dously unfortunate. Its life and strength depends in a large
measure upon these schools. Many of the professors are in
part the products of these schools, and so are their students.
They must, of necessity, wish these schools every possible
development.
"I for one make no d'stinction between fraternity and non-
fraternity boys. I do not know or care to know whether my
students are of one grade of social standing or another. I
for one make no distinction between the poor and the rich
boy. I do not know that a student is poor until he asks for
financial assistance. I only ask that each student shall do his
work honestly and independently, whatever his standing in
social life or in wealth. I for one make no distinction between
education in the University — the people's highest common
school — and education in the elementary common schools. I
have, of course, to spend most of my time at work with my
students in the University. But I always accept an invitation
from the elementary common schools, if I possibly can ; and
more than this I render to it my best service, even though
it be the poorest school in North Carolina. I for one have
profound conviction that my mental training and culture
should be for the use of all my neighbors — even the poorest,
humblest, and the most ignorant. And all of my colleaeues
have the same conviction, even to as profound a degree, as I."
After these two addresses there were other short speeches
from alumni and students. Mr. G. T. Whitley discu I
"What Relation Should the High School Bear to the Univer-
sity." He said that the high schools and graded schools of
the State should send the University well prepared hoys. The
University should send out well equipped teachers who should
instill the University spirit into the young men of the State.
Dr. A. IT. Rose then discussed "University Athletics."
He thought that the alumni of the State should pay more
attention to the athletic side of the University and help the
students in securing good coaches. He was in favor of going
THE ALUMNI REVIEW
97
out into the high schools and graded schools and picking the
trained athletes. Something must be done, and by the com-
bined effort of alumni, faculty, and students.
Mr. A. M. Noble then announced himself in favor of
coeducation in all the classes. He said that because women
arc now entering fields that call for the broad education offered
by the University, all classes should be open to them. They
are unable to secure the broader education at most of the col-
leges for females, and it is unfair to close the doors of the
University to them.
Prof. A. Vermont discussed the question as to the raising of
the curriculum. He said that it was impossible for the high
and graded schools to prepare the students well enough at
present, and therefore the curriculum should not be raised.
Mr. J. A. Wellons was in favor of more substantial sup-
port by the State. The growing need must be met by the
State as a whole, and not by those boys who are hardly able
to pay their way at the present.
Mr. R. E. Parker discussed the relation of the University
to Johnston County. He showed that the relation should be
one of hearty and unsefish cooperation for the advancement
of all the people through a broader education.
.Mr. J. D. Parker then told of the condition of the Univer-
sity in i8g5. Many improvements have since been made, but
the memory still clings to the past.
Mr. I. M. Bailey then recounted the work of the club. He
said that the club was responsible for the great work that the
county clubs are now doing. The Johnston County Club has
attained leadership, and is to be found first in every move-
ment that helps to build the University.
Following this there were short speeches by others present.
Mr. H. C Pettaway, of Florida, was present and made a
short interesting talk, appealing to the alumni to get behind
every movement for the growth of the University.
This was the first banquet of its kind to be held in this
State, and the Club is to be congratulated upon the great
success. All present voted to make the joint banquet an annual
event and in the future to welcome the wives and sweethearts
of those present. Much interest was manifested by both
alumni and students, and it is hoped that the banquet will
bring about a hearty and manifest cooperation between the
Alumni Association and the County Club. All should and
will join hands in making the Johnston County Club the best
i" the State.— I. M. BailEv, '13, in the Smtihficld Journal.
SALISBURY
On the night of December 26, in the Artillery Club rooms,
the students from Rowan county attending the University,
the boys of the graduating class of the high school, and other
prospective University students, and alumni of the University,
all gathered together— drawn by that common feeling of
University loyalty— to speak of and recall memories of Chapel
Hill.
The meeting was in no way a formal one. Alumni, stu-
dents, and near students gathered together without differences
ind mingled as University men. After enjoying the glow of
the club-rooms for awhile the assembly was prorogued and
everyone adjourned to the Grubb Theater. The genial man-
ager of the theater, Mr. Marsh, had placed al :

could be gained. Rev. J. M. Bigham, of Erskine, followed
in lighter vein, and kept the company laughing. J. Carl
Cashion, of the Washington Americans, and now a student at
Davidson, spoke on athletics. Cashion began his baseball
career at the Huntersville school and is the local hero. What
he had to say was eagerly listened to by the prospective college
men, two of whom are younger brothers of his and are plan-
ning to enter the University.
The principal speaker was L. J. Hunter, '06, of the Charlotte
bar, who spoke on "The University of North Carolina." He
reviewed the history of the University, and emphasized its
great service to the State. He said, in speaking of the special
merits of the University as an institution which fitted men for
large service, that he had attended three other institutions
and that the University, in his opinion, was the best place in
the State at which to secure a broad education. Among other
things he discussed the religious life of the University and
the hazing incident of the early fall.
Those present were : students and alumni — L. B. Mullen,

LINCOLNTON
The University Alumni of Lincoln County held their
second annual banquet on Monday evening, December 2.3, ioij.
at the Union Hotel, in Lincolnton. About twenty of the
thirty-five members of the Association braved the cold, si
weather to attend. A declicious salad course with pickles and
coffee was served, after which University punch and cigars
were enjoyed. Mr. Charles A. Jonas of the Lincolnton bar
a a- elected toastmaster for the evening, and he displayed
' wit and humor in his introduction of the different
speakers of the evening. Among the different subjects dis-
cussed were : "University Men of Lincoln County."
"Hazing." "Athletics," "Student Life at the University,"
"Needs of the University," and "How the Alumni Can Aid
the University."
The oldest alumnus present, Mr. A. Nixon, was the first
speaker. He graduated in the class of '81, with Mclver,
Joyner, and other men who have won high honor and held
high official positions. After giving a few reminiscences of
university life, he mentioned some of the men of Lincoln
county win, received their education at the University. In
the political campaign of 1848, when James K. Polk (a grad-
uate of the University) was elected president of the United
States, the two opposing candidates for Governor in North
Carolina were University men and both were from Lincoln
county. This campaign went down in history as one of the
greatest and most notable in our State's politics.
Among the alumni who responded to different subjects
relating to University life were C. E. Mcintosh, A. L. Quickel,
K. B. Nixon, Dr. J. B. Wright, Michael Bean, and Frank
Love. A resolution was adopted to hold another meeting next
year. The following officers were elected for 1913 : President
of Lincoln county Alumni Association, Dr. J. B. Wright;
Secretary and Treasurer, K. B. Nixon.

NEW YORK
The rejuvenation of the North Carolina Society of New
York is due to the energy of its president, George Gordon
Battle, "8i-'82. At the University Day banquet Mr. Battle
urged the alumni to take more active interest in the Society.
As a result quite a large number of the alumni attended the
North Carolina dance and reception held at The Plaza on
December 7. Two or three more entertainments during the
Winter are planned by the Society.
Isaac F. Harris, '00, read a paper on the chemistry of food
before the Yonkers Medical Society, December 12. He
reviewed the results of recent experiments in this department
of science, and set forth what properties of protein, carbo-
hydrates, fats, and beer had been found most effective in
nourishing and strengthening the human body. The paper
was received by the members of the Medical Society with
pronounced enthusiasm.
Albert Marvin Carr, '01, was married on October 12 to
Miss Aurelia Fitzpatrick of Kansas City. Mr. and Mrs. Carr
are now occupying their new home on East Eighty-second
street, New York.
The result of the Army and Navy game was quite a dis-
appointment to the New York alumni who were present, their
sympathy being with the army, inasmuch as Capt. Ernest
Graves. L T . N. C, '00, was the army coach.
From American Laun Tennis. October 15, 1912, the editor
has secured the following clipping through the courtesy of
Mr. E. K. Graham:
Grazes Stars at Scranton
"As usual, the annual championship of Northeastern
Pennsylvania, which was held on the courts of the Scranton
Country Club, Scranton, Pa., September 11 to 14, produced
a surprise in the way of a finish. Louis Graves, of Haworth.
N. L, whose improvement has been very marked this season,
came through his half of the draw and met William B.
Cragin, Jr., in the final round, defeating him in straight sets
with astonishing ease. ... In the third round Graves
and G. C. Shafer clashed and the former got into the limelight
at once by winning at 6-4, 7-9, 7-5. Shafer was not quite as
steady and enduring as usual, while Graves played with sj
accuracy and confidence. . . . Graves advanced a stage
in the third round by disposing of William McCreath, of
Llarrisburg, who was suffering from a game leg, the result of
a fall after the first set, which Grave- won at 8-6; and then
it was all Graves. . . . The final round was a big surprise
— not so much as to the outcome as for the ease with which
Graves won from his formidable opponent. He played just
the game to beat the New Yorker, hitting hard and very
cleanly, placing beautifully, volleying severely, and using

excellent judgment throughout. Try as he would Cragin
could not slow him down nor get him worried. The first set
was Graves' at 6-1, the next at 6-3, and the last at 6-4."
In the final ranking of the one hundred best tennis players
of America, as issued by the Secretary of the Ranking Com
mittee, Mr. George T. Adee, and published in The Mew York
Times, December 15, 1912, Mr. Graves' name appears as fourth
in Class 6. The fine record he has achieved will appear
especially in noting the names of eminent tennis players
below his in Classes 6-9.
Class Reunions for Commencement 1913
The classes scheduled to hold reunions during commence-
ment 191 3, are those of 1908, 1903, 1893, 1888, 1863, the five-,

WRITE YOUR WILL
NAMING US YOUR EXECUTOR
/ INTEND DOING THA T—l WILL DO IT
Death is the great conveyancer. Today we own oar
property; tomorrow death works a transmission to
others.
The first requisite of a proper testamentary adminis-
tration is a properly planned will. The first thoughts
of a person about to make a will relate to its plan (1)
What property he may give, (2) To whom he will give
it, and {3) whether the gifts shall be absolute, condi-
tional, or in trust.
If you appoint this Company executor, it will write
you a proper will, and its capital and surplus stand as
a guaranty for the careful performance of every duty.
You can do nothing more beneficial
than give these powers to the
