OPINION  AND  COMMENT 


The  Campus        Combine    the    aggressive    righteous- 
of  1913  ness  of  the  Class  of   1908  with  the 

spirit  of  the  Class  of  1909  and  you 
have  the  Class  of  1913.  The  downright  strength  of 
W.  P.  Stacy,  Johnston,  and  C.  W.  Tillett,  lives  in  a 
new  way  in  W.  G.  Harry  and  kobert  Strange.  The 
editorial  virility  of  Gunter  is  voiced  again  in  George 
Carrington.  The  business  efficiency  of  James  A.  Gray 
is  re-expressed  by  Lee  Wiggins.  And  the  University 
spirit,  running  through  a  whole  class,  finds  a  truer, 
freer  life  in  the  united  Class  of  [913  led  by  Walter 
Stokes. 

This  spirit  is  genuinely  expressed  and  reinforced  by 
the  Greater  Council,  which  came  to  life  this  year  as  an 
extension  of  the  Student  Council.  Measured  by  its 
spirit  value  and  practical  results,  the  Greater  Council 
touched  student  life  at  vital  centers.  The  need  for 
conference  and  concerted  action  for  the  welfare  of 
college  is  answered  in  the  representative  character  of 
the  Greater  Council,  with  its  power  to  tone  up  the 
solidarity  of  the  campus,  and  upon  which  can  focus 
the  cleansing  scrutiny  of  the  whole  college. 

Backed  by  the  Greater  Council,  a  single  student  cut 
effectively  at  the  roots  of  the  bogus  check  evil,  another 
conducted  a  series  of  hygienic  lectures,  and  another 
started  the  movement  which  resulted  in  the  trustees 
sanctioning  an  athletic  fee  that  will  solve  the  problem 
of  athletic  finances  and  will  admit  every  student  to  all 
athletic  contests  on  the  Hill.  Whethefr  helping  a 
member  of  the  faculty  to  find  rooms  for  the  high 
school  debaters,  or  discussing  questions  of  student 
government,  the  Greater  Council  in  the  firsl  year  of  its 
'ife  worked  with  sincerity,  and  stood  with  com 
for  the  things  that  are  real  in  University  life. 

The  year  just  closing  is  in  some  ways  the  darl 
that  the  college  has  known  since  the  I  lid  Easl    Build

at  the  opening  of  the  session,  she  raised  no  voio

her  tempered   spirit    wrought    mightily.     The 
stood  firm,  the  students  rallied  in  good  time,  and  the 
shadows  passed   from  under  the  eyes  of  men  as  the 


lighl  broke  clear  across  a  campus  reborn  ii

THE    ALUMNI    REVIEW 


withdraw  from  the  active  administration  of  the  I  ni- 
versity  for  a  year,  in  order  to  secure  rest  and  the 
restoration  of  normal  health.  Regretting  the  cause 
making  necessary  his  request,  and  expressing  the  hope 
that  he  might  speedily  find  renewed  strength,  the 
Trustees  granted  him  leave  of  absence  for  one  year 
from  September  first,  and  named  Edward  Kidder 
Graham,  Dean  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  for  five 
vears  and  teacher  of  Eng'ish  since  1900,  as  Acting- 
President  for  the  year  19 13-'  14. 

President  Venable's  request,  and  the  consequent 
action,  center  attention  upon  his  'ong  connection  with 
the  University  and  his  great  service  to  it.  During  the 
twenty  vears  in  which  he  was  Professor  of  Chemistry 
he  participated  in  all  movements  having  as  their  object 
the  upbuilding  of  the  University,  and  since  his  entry 
into  the  presidential  office  the  University  has  gone 
steadily  forward. 

Just  how  significant  this  progress  has  been  since 
1900  may  be  seen  by  referring  to  the  summary  given 
by  President  Yenable  at  the  meeting  of  the  Alumni. 
as  reported  elsewhere  in  The  Review.  The  Faculty 
has  grown  from  35  to  83.  Fourteen  of  the  twenty- 
three  buildings  now  on  the  campus  have  been  erected. 
The  total  income  from  all  sources  for  1912-13  was 
$275,000,  and  the  permanent  equipment  reached  $800, 
000.  The  standard  of  the  University  has  been  raised  to 
the  point  that  it  is  grouped  with  the  first  Universities 
in  the  land. 

In  placing  Dean  Graham  at  the  head  of  the  Univer- 
sity for  the  year,  the  Trustees  have  brought  to  the 
administrative  office  one  who  through  ability  and  full 
knowledge  of  its  requirements  is  spendidly  qualified 
to  direct  its  affairs.  Under  his  strong,  aggressive 
leadership  the  University  may  confidently  be  expected 
to  go  forward. 

University         University     Extension     from     Chapel 
Extension  Ili'l    as    the    starting   point    seems    to 

have  come  to  stay.  The  Extension 
Bureau  has  been  granted  an  "allowance''  in  the  budget, 
which,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  may  be  increased  in  propor- 
tion to  the  need  of  extension  work  in  the  State. 

The  Bureau  is  modest  enough  not  to  claim  credit  for 
all  the  praiseworthy  things  which  have  been  started  on 
the  Hill  this  year  looking  to  a  closer  bond  between  the 
University  and  the  State.  But  it  is  glad  to  have  been 
present  at  the  conferences  at  which  they  were  dis- 
cussed, and  it  has  insisted  that  the  University,  in  all 


of  its  planning  and  doing,  should  extend  its  range  of 
service  so  that  its  power  to  help  might  be  felt  in  every 
nook  and  cranny  of  the  State. 

Accordingly,  the  idea,  as  applied  to  the  Societies, 
evolved  into  the  High  School  Debating  Union;  as 
applied  to  the  Greater  Council  and  Athletic  Associa- 
tion, it  resulted  in  the  Interscholastic  Track  Meet ;  its 
effect  upon  the  Extension  Committee  was  to  set  it  to 
work  securing  funds  for  the  publication  of  a  definite 
series  of  Extension  Bulletins,  two  of  which  are  now 
serving  the  schools  of  North  Carolina ;  as  applied  to 
the  University  Library,  it  caused  it  to  offer  its  re- 
sources in  works  on  education  and  its  package  libraries 
to  the  schools  and  citizenship  of  the  State. 

In  this  particular  field  there  has  been  progress. 
Furthermore,  three  bulletins  are  now  preparing  which 
wi"  further  carry  the  idea  into  effect.  One  of  these 
will  give  a  list  of  lectures  which  members  of  the 
faculty  will  give,  under  conditions  to  be  set  forth,  on 
questions  which  vitally  affect  North  Carolina  life. 

To  be  most   effective,  this  special  work  will  require 

the  co-operation   of  the  alumni  just   as  much  as  the 

athletic    interests    of    the    University    do.      Invitations 

and    suggestions   can    best    come    through    them.      The 

University  herewith  goes  on  record  as  urgently  cal'- 

ing  upon  the  alumni  for  this  aid,  and  confidently  looks 

to  them  for  it.

Tin.  Summer       Tin:  Review  doesn't  wish  to  worry 
School  its  readers  by  saying  too  much  about 

the  Summer  School.  Its  oft  speak- 
ing is  occasioned  by  the  tremendous  importance  of  the 
School  to  the  University.  Six  hundred  student'-  will 
have  entered  the  various  classes  before  the  term  closes, 
and  a  faculty  and  special  lecture  group  of  more  than 
forty  specialists  will  have  given  instruction  to  the 
student  body. 

The  large  considerations  involved  are:  first,  that 
the  students  and  facu'ty.  in  part,  come  from  the 
schools  of  Xorth  Carolina  to  which  the  University 
must  look  for  students  for  the  regular  term :  and 
second,  that  the  Summer  School  has  the  kind  of  spirit 
which  appeals  to  the  teachers,  and  makes  them  feel 
that  the  University  of  Xorth  Carolina  is  their  Uni- 
versity and  is  seriously  attempting  to  serve  them. 

Thought  devoted  to  the  enlargement  of  the  School 
and  such  liberality  of  funds  as  may  be  possible,  are 
worthy  of  the  University's  consideration.

THE  ONE  HUNDRED  AND  EIGHTEENTH  COMMENCEMENT 


The  annual  commencement  of  [913  began  Sunday 
morning,  June  1,  with  the  baccalaureate  sermon  b) 
Dr.  E.  Y.  Mullins,  President  of  the  Baptist  Theologi 
cal  Seminary,  of  Louisville,  Ky..  thus  reverting  to  the 
old  order  of  commencement  week,  in  which  the  exer 
cises  began  on  Sunday  in  Gerrard  Hall,  with  the  ser 
mon  to  the  graduating  class,  instead  of  on  Saturda) 
with  class  day  exercises,  and  ending  on  Wednesday 
instead  of  Tuesday. 

Introduced  by   President    Venable,   Dr.    Mullins  an 
nounced  as  his  text  Hebrews  2  : 8-  "Thou  didst  put 
all  things  under  his  feet."  and  soughl  ai   once  to  sug

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


Constructive  imagination  was  the  second  character- 
istic which  Dr.  Mullins  noted  as  an  intimation  of 
man's  greatness.  By  this,  he  meant  one's  capacity  to 
form  great   ideals   and   then  to   realize  them   in   fact. 

A  third  element  in  man's  nature,  suggesting  man's 
greatness,  he  termed  the  irrepressible  love  of  experi- 
ment ;  that  restless  spirit  that  is  not  content  with  one 
great  achievement  but  continues  onward  and  upward 
to  conquer  other  worlds.  This  eternal  discontent  with 
achievement,  this  consciousness  of  growth,  destines 
man  to  dominion  and  power. 

As  causes  contributing  to  man's  failure  to  measure 
up  to  his  opportunities  as  given  by  God,  Dr.  Mullins 
designated  the  failure  of  man  to  control  his  body  and 
his  endeavor  to  separate  himself  from  the  ethical  and 
religious  atmosphere  surrounding  him.  Another 
cause  of  failure  has  been  his  collision  with  the  powers 
of  nature.  To  the  extent  that  man  has  overcome  these 
and  has  directed  his  life  in  relation  to  them,  to  that 
extent  he  has  achieved  success. 

The  attainment  to  complete  dominion,  Dr.  Mullins 
showed,  lay  through  Jesus  Christ. 


SERMON  TO  THE  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

The  sermon  before  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  was  preached 
Sunday  evening  at  eight  o'clock,  by  Rev.  Josiah  Sibley, 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Knoxville,  Tenn.  Mr. 
J.  A.  Holmes,  President  of  the  Association,  presided. 

Mr.  Sibly,  though  a  comparatively  young  man  in 
years,  brought  a  powerful  message  to  the  young  men 
who  were  turning  from  the  shelter  of  the  campus  to 
the  temptations  of  the  world.  There  was  something 
of  the  power  which  characterized  the  memorable  ser- 
mon of  Bishop  Hugh  Miller  Thompson,  of  Missis- 
sippi, to  the  Class  of  1899,  in  the  appeal  which  Mr. 
Sibley  made  for  clean  living  and  high  thinking  in  spite 
of  all  the  allurements  which  life  offered  to  the  con- 
trary. 

For  the  man  with  a  high  ideal,  Mr.  Sihlev  predicted 
a  great  future;  for  ideals  always  lead  to  high  accom- 
plishments. Beacons  of  the  ideal,  beacons  of  person- 
ality, and  beacons  of  sacrificial  service  were  the  lights 
which  he  would  have  the  favored  college  man  keep 
shining  with  pure  whiteness 


CLASS  DAY  EXERCISES 


Conforming  to  the  custom  of  years,  the  seniors 
opened  Class  Day,  Monday,  June  2,  with  "Final 
Prayers"  in  the  chapel,  with  Dr.  Battle  as  leader. 
President  Walter  Stokes,  with  Miss  Watson  Kasej 
Vice-President,  led  the  group  of  seventy-seven 
seniors  to  the  last  service.  Immediately  following  the 
devotions,  permanent  class  officers  were  chosen,  the 
honors  falling  worthily  upon  D.  L.  Rights.  I 'resi- 
dent;  and  A.  L.  M.  Wiggins,  Secretary-Treasurer. 

With  a  short  recess  intervening,  the  class  reassem- 
bled in  Gerrard  Hall  to  continue  the  program.  Walter 
Stokes  presided,  and  delivered  his  farewell  address 
to  the  class,  which  from  all  considerations  has  been 
the  most  united  in  the  past  fifteen  years. 

"The  Spirit  of  the  Cass  of  1913''  was  consequently 
an  appropriate  subject  for  the  address.  He  chose  to 
call  this  spirit  which  had  emanated  from  the  senior 
class  and  permeated  the  whole  University  the  com- 
mercial or  nationa1  spirit.  He  urged  that  this  same 
spirit  be  carried  by  the  class  out  into  life,  and  applied 
there,  the  only  difference  between  the  life  on  the 
campus  and  the  life  out  in  the  world  being  one  of 
extent.  The  national  spirit  could  be  and  should  be 
applied  by  the  class  wherever  its  members  should  be. 

M.  T.  Spears,  the  historian,  recounted  the  achieve- 
ments of  the  class   in   the  affairs   of   the    University, 


In  athletics  and  literary  activities,  the  class  had  taken 
a  prominent  stand,  hut  in  the  one  particular  of  class 
football  it  enjoyed  the  distinction  of  being  the  only 
class  ever  known  at  the  University  which  had  never, 
in  the  whole  period  of  t'onr  years,  crossed  an  oppo- 
nent's goal  line. 

The  presentation  of  the  class  gift  was  made  by  J. 
C.  Busby.  In  making  the  presentation,  he  spoke  in 
part  as  follows  : 

"  I  hree  years  ago  the  graduating  class  presented  to 
the  University  a  gift  of  $2,000  toward  a  fund  of 
$I0,000  to  he  used  for  the  building  of  a  better  athletic 
field.  Since,  the  need  of  an  improved  athletic  field  has 
increased,  and  accordingly  each  class  has  added  to  the 
initial  sum.  Today,  in  behalf  of  the  Class  of  [913, 
I  wish  to  present  to  our  alma  mater  our  class  gifl 
\'i\\  ard  this  fund. 

"We  give  this  morning  for  this  particular  purpose, 
because  we  realize  keenly  one  need  of  the  I  niversitv. 
We  are  conscious  of  the  growing  demand  for  better 
athletic  equipment,  by  means  of  which  students  may 
train  themselves  to  he  strong  physical  men.  We  feel 
the  State's  call  for  I  nivcrsity  teams  of  power,  and  it 
is  the  wish  of  the  Class  of  1913  to  respond  to  the 
State's  call  by  helping  to  build  an  athletic  field  adequate 
to  develop  that   power  which   lies  dormant  here. 

"For  the  Class  of  [913,  1  present  to  the  University 
our  class  gift  of  $2,000.  to  he  used  toward  the  build- 
ing of  a  new  athletic  field." 


THE    ALUMNI    REVIEW 


Running  back  through  the  years,  the  contest  for  the 
Manguni  Medal  has  been  of  the  first  interest  to  alumni 
as  well  as  members  of  the  graduating  class.  In  recent 
years,  representatives  have  been  chosen  from  a  larger 
number  of  competitors,  four  of  whom  are  selected  by 
a  faculty  committee  to  contest  on  Class  Day  for  the 
honor.  The  four  chosen  from  [913  were  J.  C.  Busby, 
of  Salisbury;  W.  G.  Harry,  of  Grover;  II.  C.  Petti 
way,  of  Brooksville,  F!a. ;  and  Guy  B.  Phillips,  of 
Trinity.  Their  subjects  were  respectively:  "New 
National  Policies";  "The  Spirit  of  a  New  Era";  "A 
New  Force  and  the  Young  Man  in  Southern  Politics"; 
and  "An  Unrewarded  Hero  of  Democracy."  Dr.  Ven- 
able  presided  over  the  contest,  and  the  decision  of  the 
judges  was  reserved  until  Wednesday  morning,  when 
Guy  B.  Phillips  was  declared  the  winner.

THE  SOLDIERS'  MONUMENT  UNVEILED 


An  event  which  had  been  looked  forward  to  for  a 
number  of  years,  and  which  in  appropriateness 
matched  the  granting  of  degrees  in  1911  to  the  living 
students  who  left  the  University  for  the  battle  front 
during  i86i-'65,  was  the  unveiling  of  the  Soldiers' 
monument,  at  4.30  Monday  afternoon,  June  2,  erected 
in  memory  of  all  University  students,  living  and  .lead, 
who  served  in  the  Confederacy. 

The  exercises  held  in  Gerrard  Hal  and  on  the 
campus  were  under  the  direction  of  the  North  Caro- 
lina Division  of  the  United  Daughters  of  the  Con- 
federacy, which,  through  the  co-operation  of  friends 
and  alumni  of  the  University,  provided  the  funds  for 
the  erection  of  the  fitting  memorial.  Gov.  Locke 
Craig  was  the  principal  speaker.  Other  addresses 
were  made  by  Maj.  II.  A.  London,  of  Pittsboro  :  Mrs. 
Marshall  Williams,  of  Faison,  president  of  the  North 
Carolina  Division  of  the  United  Daughters  of  the 
Confederacy;  Mrs.  II.  A.  London,  chairman  of  the 
monument  fund  committee,  and  original  proposer  of 
the  memorial  ;  and  Gen.  Julian  S.  Carr.  Presented  by 
Mrs.  London,  the  monument  was  received  by  the 
University  by  President  Venable,  and  by  the  Univer- 
sity students,  in  whose  honor  it  was  placed  upon  the 
campus,  by  General  Carr.  one  of  the  boys  of  '66,  who 
left  the  I  lib  for  the  battle  line. 

Governor  Craig's  tribute  follows,  in  part : 

"The  University  was  consumed  by  the  War.  At  the 
beginning  of  the  conflict  she  held  a  commanding  posi- 
tion, and  was  in  the  full  vigor  of  magnificent  develop- 
ment. She  was  the  glory  of  North  Carolina,  and  the 
chief  seat  of  learning  in  the  South.  Her  alumni  were 
leaders  in  all  departments  of  life;  they  occupied  the 
highest  places  of  honor  and  power;  they  were  'the 
oracles  of  senates  and  the  ornaments  of  courts.'  Her 
hal's  were  thronged  with  indents  from  this  and  other 
States. 

"In  1S61,  these  students  went  to  war.  The  boys 
who  would  have  come  here  but  for  the  war.  left  their 
homes  to  join  the  armies  of  Virginia  and  Tennessee. 
The  figures  tell  how  they  answered  the  call  for 
volunteers.  In  1859,  there  were  [25  graduates;  in 
iSdj.  there  were  24.  Of  the  Class  of  [863,  eighl  re- 
mained to  be  seniors;  they  were  enhited.  (  )f  the  Class 
of  1864.  seven  remained  to  be  seniors;  they  were  en- 
listed; two  were  absent  from  commencement  attend- 
ing to  military  duties.  In  1864,  one-fifth  of  the  entire 
faculty  had  been  killed  in  battle,  and -others  had  been 
wounded. 

"At  the  commencement  of    1805.  only  one  graduate 
completed   the   course.      Fourteen    students   began    the 
senior  year,  but  on'y  three  could  lie  present   at  com 
mencerr.-ent,  the  others  were  at  the  front. 


•'From  a  letter  written  by  President  Swain  to  Jeffer- 
son Davis,  on  October  5,  1863,  I  quote  as  follows: 

"   At  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year,  June  7,  i860, 

the  whole  number  of  students  at  our  college  was  430. 

They  were  distributed  in  the  four  classes 

as    follows:    seniors,    84;    juniors,    102;    sophomores, 

125;  freshmen,  80.' 

"The  senior  class  of  i860  had  84  members.  Every 
one  of  them  able  to  bear  arms,  with  perhaps  one  ex- 
ception, went  to  the  army.  (  >f  these,  one-fourth  of 
the  entire  number  were  killed  upon  the  field.  In  the 
younger  classes,  the  loss  was  about  the  same.  The 
proportion  of  the  wounded  to  the  ki  led  is  usually 
estimated  as  three  to  one.  By  this  rule  of  computation. 
nearly  all  the  boys  who  left  this  institution  to  follow 
the  flag  of  the  Confederacy  were  killed  or  wounded 
in  battle. 

"The  aged  and  infirm  professors,  with  vestal  devo- 
tion, kept  alive  the  sacred  fire  of  learning  in  this 
temple,  dedicated  by  the  fathers  and  sanctified  by 
tradition. 

"When  General  Sherman's  forces  entered  the  town 
of  Chapel  Hill,  these  teachers,  with  ten  or  twelve  boys, 
were  trying  to  preserve  the  University  amid  the  uni- 
versa1  destruction.  The  college  bell  was  rung  by  Dr. 
Charles  Phillips,  and  in  the  chapel  morning  and  even- 
ing prayers  were  offered  for  a  stricken  and  a  sorrow 
iii!_r  land. 

The  youths,  bouyant  and  hopeful,  that  had  thronged 
these  halls,  and  made  this  campus  ring  with  shouts  of 
boyish  sports,  had  gone.  The  University  mourned  in 
silent  desolation.  Her  children  had  been  slain.  But 
she  was  splendid  in  that  day  of  tribulation,  for 
wherever  armies  had  marched,  and  wherever  the  con 
elusion  of  tierce  battle  had  been  tried,  her  sons  had 
fought  and  fallen  at  the  front.  Many  fell  on  the 
bloody  fields  of  Virginia  and  Pennsylvania.  Upon 
the  faces  of  those  who  returned,  the  scar  stamps 
heroism  where  God  had  impressed  nobility. 

"This  was  the  offering  made  by  the  Universit)  to 
the  G mfederacy : 

"  'Go  tell  at  Lacedaemon  that  they  died  in  obedience 
to  her  law.' 

"When  in  the  Roman  Forum  there  yawned  a  chasm 
that  could  not  he  closed,  and  that  poisoned  the  city 
with  its  pestilence,  the  gods  demanded  as  an  appeas 
ing  sacrifice  whatever  was  most  precious  in  Rome. 
Mettus  Curtius,  the  most  beautiful  youth,  clothed  and 
armed  as  a  soldier,  leaped  in.  Answering  the  Supreme 
requisition,  the  University  laid  upon  the  altar  of  Dixie 
the  fairest  and  the  bravest  of  the  word. 

"This  statue  is  a  memorial  to  their  chivalry  and 
devotion.  It  is  an  epic  poem  in  bronze.  Its  beaut) 
and  its  grandeur  are  not  limited  by  the  genius  of  the 
sculptor.  The  soul  of  the  beholder  will  determine 
the  revelation  of  its  meaning.  It  will  remind  you  and 
those  who  come  after  you  of   the   bovs  who  left   these

peaceful,  classic  shades  for  the  hardships  of  armies 
at  the  front,  for  the  fierce  carnage  of  titanic  battles, 
for  suffering  and  for  death.  We  unveil  and  dedicate 
this  monument  today  as  a  covenant  that  we  too  will 
do  our  task  with  fidelity  and  courage. 

"These  boys  were  not  drafted.  The  authorities  of 
the  University  tried  to  keep  them  here.  They  came 
from  homes  of  plenty  and  culture.  They  enjoyed 
comforts.  They  knew  the  danger  of  war.  But  they 
turned  their  backs  upon  the  feast,  and  renounced  the 
place  of  ease.  Trained  in  the  curriculum  of  one  of 
the  first  universities,  they  went  to  the  ranks  and 
drilled  and  toiled  and  fought  with  the  lowly. 

"These  boys  endured  with  patience;  they  doggedly 
withstood  the  impact  of  rushing  squadrons;  they 
were  foremost  in  the  onset. 

"On  the  third  day  at  Gettysburg,  Pettigrew  looked 
upon  the  decimated  ranks  of  his  youthful  soldiers, 
still  dauntless  amid  the  crash  of  doom.  He  un- 
covered, and  bowed  to  them,  and  said:  'Boys,  for 
the  honor  of  North  Carolina,  forward.'  lie  wept 
when  he  saw  them  with  fixed  bayonets  charging  the 
stone  wall  at  the  bloody  angle — forward  with  un- 
faltering step  while  they  were  torn  by  grape  and 
canister.  The  sons  of  the  University  led  this  charge. 
Nothing  more  heroic  was  ever  done  in  war.  They 
were  equal  to  the  Spartans  at  Thermopylae;  to  the 
Thebans  at  Chaeronia ;  to  the  English  at  Balaklava; 
to  the  Old  Guard  at  Waterloo.  They  are  in  the  band 
of  the  immortals.  With  these  there  is  no  second  place. 
Thev  are  all  sublime.

THE  INTER- SOCIETY  BANQUET 


That  the  "Di"  and  "Phi"  have  in  no  sense  lost  any 
of  their  power  over  the  hearts  of  the  student  body  and 
alumni  is  strikingly  evidenced  every  year  by  the  throng 
of  former  members  who  crowd  into  Commons  Hall 
for  the  annual  Society  dinner.  No  student  who  has 
timorously  signed  the  constitution  of  either  of  the 
societies  in  his  freshman  year,  and  has  seen  his  life 
take  on  gradual  power  under  the  strengthening  in- 
fluence of  these  bodies,  thinks  lightly  of  the  meeting 
which  calls  him  hack  to  renew  his  memories  of  the 
past. 

The  banquet  of  1913  was  no  exception  to  this  rule. 
The  speakers  for  the  occasion  were  selected  from  a 
wide  range,  representing  classes  graduating  from  the 
University  over  a  long  span  of  years. 

The  chief  speaker  of  the  evening  was  lion.  1  Iannis 
Taylor,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  former  minister  to 
Spain,  and  a  recognized  authority  the  world  over  on 
international  law. 

S.  Brown  Shepherd,  of  Ra'eigh,  was  alumni  speaker 
on  behalf  of  the  Philanthropic  Society,  and  the  stu- 
dent speaker  on  behalf  of  the  "Phi"  was  W.  R.  Pett 
eway.  Representing  the  alumni  from  the  Dialetic 
Society  was  J.  J.  Parker,  of  Monroe,  and  the  student 
speaker  from  the  "Di''  was  E.  R.  Rankin,  of  Gastonia. 
D.  J.  Walker,  of  Caswell  County,  acted  as  toast- 
master. 

Hon.  Hannis  Taylor,  a  native  North  Carolinian, 
whose  life  has  been  projected  into  international  re- 
lations, alluded  to  himself  as  a  man  without  a  country 
returned  to  the  home  of  his  fathers.  He  tied  him- 
self to  his  audience  by  his  fee'ing  references  to  his 
blood  connection  with  North  Carolina  for  nearly  two 
hundred  years.  These  associations  became  local  and 
personal  in  his  memories  of  Newbern.  his  birthplace, 
and  in  high  tributes  to  Governor  Swain,  president  in 
his  college  days.  Mrs.  Cornelia  Spencer,  staunch 
champion  of  the  University  when  its  light  was  low. 
and  Dr.  Kemp  P.  Battle,  linking  the  old  from  which 
he  had  gone  with  the  new  in  whose  presence  he  stood. 
He  congratulated  the  University  upon  the  marked 
progress  in  scholarship  and  morality,  its  present 
mountain  top  of  temperance  and  self-control. 

With  this  reminiscent  preamble,  the  speaker  threw 
himself  into  the  theme  of  his  life,  the  Law  of 
Nations.  "The  present  world  stands  on  the  eve  of  a 
great  change  in  the  relation  of  nations,"  he  said. 
"The  method  of  writing  history  which  was  artistic 
from   Thucydides   to    Gibbon,    was   changed    by     the 


French  Revolution,  which  puts  history  upon  a  socio- 
logical basis.  The  application  of  steam  and  electricity 
to  the  fabric  of  social  life,  and  the  acce'erated  means 
of  inter-communication,  are  the  forces  in  the  present 
revolution.  With  the  remarkable  illustration  of  Japan 
as  a  world  power  and  effete  China  as  a  hopeful  repub- 
lic, law  and  international  relations  will  respond  to 
the  change." 

Here  the  speaker  traced  with  compressed  suggestion 
the  growth  of  international  law  out  of  the  complex 
life  of  the  Roman  Empire.  The  commercial  and  equity 
codes  of  every  State  today  are  based  upon  Roman  Jus 
Gentium.  The  question  the  speaker  propounded  was. 
"lias  a  'apse  of  two  thousand  years  and  the  present 
great  awakening  brought  the  time  for  jurists  to  build 
up  by  the  comparative  method  a  fresh  composite, 
which  can  justly  he  called  the  law  common  to  a\\ 
nations  as  they  stand  todav?" 

The  speaker  closed  with  an  eloquent  plea  that  all  the 
great  material  changes  in  the  world  today  should  not 
rob  us  of  the  eternal  spiritual  facts  of  Cod  and  im- 
mortality. 

Representing  the  alumni.  Brown  Shepherd  spoke 
upon  "The  Student's  Standpoint."  and  happily  re- 
ferred to  the  pleasure  and  benefit  derived  by  the 
alumni  upon  the  occasion  of  these  reunions,  where  they 
refresh  themselves  from  the  college  spirit  and  ideal. 
He  did  not  undertake  to  analyze  and  criticise  the  stu- 
dent mind  and  consciousness,  assuming  that  sufficient 
of  that  had  been  done  by  such  able  men  as  Professor 
Williams  and  others  nearer  by.  but  treated  them  as 
though  they  had  the  training  and  ideals  which  they 
were  supposed  to  have  acquired  from  such  surround- 
ings. Here  the  speaker  recalled  humorously  some 
college   anecdotes   illustrating  his  viewpoint. 

He  then  spoke  encouragingly  as  to  the  student's 
standpoint  in  re'ation  to  the  world  today,  and  the 
value  of  the  student's  ideals.  He  closed  by  saving 
that  if  the  alumni  brought  from  the  business  world 
advice  that  might  guide  the  student  over  rough  paths 
the  student  is  expected  to  blaze  a  higher  and  better 
way. 

In  speaking  as  the  alumni  representative  <>f  the  "Di." 
J.  J.  Parker  called  attention  to  the  national  questions 
of  trusts,  capital,  labor,  and  the  tariff,  and  insisted 
that  these  (|uestions  should  be  approached  for  settle- 
ment from  a  broad,  national  point  of  view.  He  de- 
cried the  fact  that  in  North  Carolina  there  was  a  con-

ALUMNI  DAY 

Sons  From  Far  and  Near  Return  for  Reunions  and   Annual   Luncheon 


In  response  to  an  insistent  demand,  Alumni  Day 
was  celebrated  on  Tuesday,  tints  giving  the  alumni  an 
opportunity  of  reaching  the  I  [ill  on  Monday  and  being 
in  readiness  for  the  part  of  commencement  in  which 
they  find  their  chief  pleasure.  Hereafter,  Tuesday 
will  be  Alumni  Day,  and  all  alumni  can  plan  accord 
ingly. 

The  exercises  began  at  co. 30  Tuesday,  with  an  in- 
vocation by  Rev.  A.  D.  P.etts,  '55,  Maj.  John  W, 
Graham,  '59,  of  Hillsboro,  presiding.  The  address 
of  the  day  was  delivered  by  the  Right  Reverend 
Robert  Strange.  '79,  of  Wilmington,  bishop  of  the 
Diocese  of  Eastern  North  Carolina.  II  is  address  was 
an  exposition  of  the  sound  doctrine,  applicable  to  grad- 
uate and  undergraduate  alike,  that  the  really  success- 
ful man  is  the  one  combining  character  with  industry, 

Among  other  things,  Bishop  Strange  said: 

"Ta'king  one  night  with  a  group  of  men  about 
University  life,  its  honors,  and  their  relation  to  after 
honors  in  life,  a  friend  read  us  a  letter  from  his  father 
on  that  subject.  His  father  said  that  his  recollections 
of  college  and  his  experience  in  life  led  him  to  the 
conclusion  that  the  boy  is  father  to  the  man.  that  it  is 
generally  true  that  the  position  a  boy  occupies  in  col- 
lege is  the  same  relatively  that  he  occupies  in  aftet 
life.  As  I  recall  my  co'lege  friends  and  acquaintances, 
as  I  think  of  their  career  in  life.  I  find  that  statement 
is  true  as  a  whole.  And  so,  my  young  friends,  do  your 
best  work  here;  for  it  is  the  general  rule  that  when 
you  pass  out  of  these  shades,  your  character  and  youi 
destiny  are  fixed  in  their  direction.

THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


with  Dr.  Hester  as  the  most  entertaining  funmaker  on 
the  Hill  during  Commencement. 

F.  C.  Harding,  of  Greenville,  was  spokesman  for 
the  Class  of  '93,  a  half-score  of  whose  members  were 
present  for  their  twentieth  anniversary.  He  gave  an 
interesting  account  of  the  activities  of  the  class,  and 
showed  that  '93  was  ever  loyal  to  the  University. 

As  secretary  of  the  Class  of  '03,  Rev.  C.  E.  Mad- 
dry,  pastor  of  the  Baptist  Tabernacle  Church,  of 
Ra'.eigh,  read  the  following  statistics  relating  to  the 
fifty-seven  members  of  the  class  who  graduated : 

Vocations — Lawyers,  13;  teachers,  10;  doctors,  9; 
merchants,  5  ;  bankers,  4 ;  ministers,  4 ;  chemists,  4 ; 
manufacturer,  1  ;  geologist,  1  ;  stock  dealer,  1  ;  rail- 
road man,  1  ;  wine  dealer,  1  ;  journalist,  1  ;  creamery 
business,  1 ;  cotton  mill  business,  1 ;  other  businesses, 
6. 

Three  combined  teaching  and  farming.  One  mem- 
ber of  the  class  has  died.  Twenty-seven  are  married. 
Incomplete  statistics  show  that  the  number  of  chil- 
dren in  the  class  is  now  about  equal  to  the  number  that 
graduated  ten  years  ago. 

The  average  income  of  the  class  the  first  year  out 
of  college  was  $665.55 ;  the  average  income  at  present 
is  $2,564.40. 


The  Luncheon 

The  alumni  luncheon  was  held  at  Commons,  at  1.30, 
the  entire  room  being  crowded  to  overflowing. 
Former  Lieutenant-Governor  F.  D.  Winston  presided 
as  toastmaster. 

President  Yenable  responded  first  to  the  call  of  the 
toastmaster.    In  beginning,  he  said : 

"It  is  a  pleasure  to  see  so  many  of  the  alumni  revisit- 
ing their  alma  mater  on  this  commencement  occasion, 
and  in  the  name  of  the  University  I  bid  them  a  cordial 
welcome. 

I  am  glad  too  to  present  them  this  band  of  younger 
brothers,  who  tomorrow  will  join  the  ranks  of  the 
alumni,  and  to  assure  them  that  no  more  loyal  and 
finer  spirited  c'ass  has  been  added  to  their  number. 
Because  of  the  tragic  occurrence  on  the  opening  day 
of  the  session,  this  has  been  a  year  of  peculiar  trial 
and  depression,  and  no  one  could  have  faced  the  trial 
with  finer  spirit  nor  risen  more  nobly  to  meet  their 
responsibilities  than  have  the  members  of  this  class, 
and  they  have  infused  the  whole  student  body  with 
their  loyalty  and  helpfulness  and  determination  to 
better  the  conditions  of  L'niversity  life.  For  orderly 
behavior,  for  unity  of  purpose  both  in  faculty  and 
students,  and  for  the  strengthening  of  the  highest 
ideals,  this  session  will  always  be  remembered  by  me 
as  unpara'leled  since  that   fatal   opening  day."

THE    ALUMNI    REVIEW 


Continuing,  President  Venable  reported  837  stu- 
dents during  the  year,  which,  together  with  the  num- 
ber in  the  Summer  School,  brought  the  total  to  [,300. 
In  material  equipment,  progress  was  evidenced  by  an 
increase  in  the  annual  appropriation  of  $8,000;  the 
Medical,  Educational,  and  Dormitory  buildings  had 
been  erected;  the  Soldiers'  monument  had  been  un- 
veiled, and  plans  had  been  selected  for  the  new  Dining- 
Hall. 

Advance  in  other  particulars  was  shown  by  the  es 
tablishment  of  The  Alumni  Review,  the  Bureau  of 
Extension,  the  High  School  Debating  Union,  and  the 
Inter-scholastic  Track  Meet.  The  enlarged  work  of 
the  Greater  Council  and  the  fresh  interest  of  the 
alumni  in  athletics  were  included  in  the  list  of  wider 
activities. 

In  summing  up  the  growth  in  the  twelve  years  since 
1900,  President  Venable  reported  an  increase  of  aboul 
70  per  cent,  in  the  number  of  students;  150  per  cent. 
in  the  size  of  the  faculty;  twelve  new  buildings,  or  an 
increase  of  100  per  cent.,  over  $800,000,  in  material 
equipment;  and  a  growth  of  income  from  $50,000  to 
$280,000  from  all  sources  for  the  past  year.

came  from  Dr.  Charles  S.  Mangum,  of  the  faculty 
committee  on  athletics,  and  from  Graduate  Manager 
L.  P.  McLendon,  representing  the  student  viewpoint. 
A  fitting  close  of  the  meeting  was  the  resolution,  as 
offered  by  ex-Judge  J.  C.  Biggs,  of  Raleigh,  and 
adopted  by  the  unanimous  vote  of  the  body,  to  send 
words  of  congratulation  to  President  E.  A.  Alder- 
man, of  the  University  of  Virginia,  on  the  announce- 
ment of  his  recovery  from  a  long  illness. 

Annual  Debate 
The  annual  debate  and  contest  for  the  Bingham 
medal  was  held  at  8.30  o'clock,  between  representatives 
of  the  Di  and  Phi  Societies  from  the  Junior  Class, 
The  four  contestants  were  J.  A.  Holmes,  of  Graham. 
and  F.  L.  Webster,  of  Wilkesboro,   for  the  Di;  and 


S.  \Y.  Whiting,  of  Raleigh,  and  E.  S.  Peel,  of  Wil- 
liamston,  for  the  Phi.  The  query  was:  "Resolved, 
that  those  decisions  of  State  courts  of  last  resort  de- 
claring unconstitutional  legislation  passed  by  State 
legislative  bodies  should  be  subject  to  recall  by  the 
voters  in  question."  The  affirmative  was  upheld  by 
the  Di,  the  Phi  supporting  the  negative. 

The  decision  was  announced  in  favor  of  the  Di: 
and  on  Wednesday  J.  A.  Holmes  was  declared  the 
winner  of  the  prize  for  the  best  speech  on  the  winning 
side. 

The  Reception 

At  10.30,  the  President  and  the  Faculty  gave  the 
seniors,  alumni,  and  visitors  a  reception  in  the  I  ni-

COMMENCEMENT  DAY 

Vice-President  Marshall  and  Governor  Craig  Deliver  Splendid  Addresses 


Commencement  exercises  proper,  made  notable  by 
the  presence  of  Thomas  R.  Marshall.  Vice-President 
of  the  United  States,  began  at  10.30,  when  the  academic 
procession  passed  from  the  Alumni  Building  to  .Me- 
morial Hall.  Two  thousand  persons  were  present  to 
participate  in  them  and  hear  the  distinguished 
speaker. 

The  invocation  was  made  by  Rev.  R.  T.  Bryan,  '82, 
of  Shanghai,  China. 

Introduced  by  President  Venab'.e,  and  greeted  with 
prolonged  applause  by  the  audience,  which  rose  and 
stood  to  pay  him  honor,  Vice-President  Marshall  com- 
pletely captivated  his  hearers  in  the  first  moments  of 
his  address  by  a  humorous  reference  apropos  of  the 
introduction  he  had  just  received.  He  spoke,  in  part, 
as   follows: 

"Mr.  President,  Friends,  and  Fellow  Citizens: 
"1  do  not  know  your  President  very  well,  but  I 
think  I  may  venture,  in  view  of  the  laudatory  remarks 
which  he  made  in  presenting  me  to  you,  to  tell  you  a 
story.  I  was  born  before  the  days  of  'sodywater',  and 
I  well  remember  when  the  first  'sody-fountain'  came 
to  our  town  in  Indiana,  and  old  Uncle  Jim  Epherson 
with  his  good  wife,  Mary,  came  to  town  one  Saturday 
afternoon,  and  went  in  where  the  'sody-fountain'  was, 
and  Unc'e  Jim  ordered  a  glass  and  tendered  it  to  his 
good  wife,  and  she. said:  'Naw,  Paw.  your  stomick's 
stronger  than  mine,  you  take  it  fust,  and  if  it  don't 
hurt  you  I  will  try  it.'  So  Uncle  Jim  drank  it  down, 
and  ordered  another  glass,  and  said:  'Here,  Maw, 
take  it  down;  taint  nothing  but  sweetened  wind.' 

"I  hope  your  distinguished  and  lovable  president 
will  pardon  me  when  I  say  that  his  method  of  presen- 


tation has  nut  affected  my  attitude  toward  life  at  all. 
I  realize  it  is  only  sweetened  wind.  I  took  it  down, 
and  it  has  not  hurt  me.  1  am  a  Iloosier  to  the  manor 
horn,  and  in  the  manor  bred;  the  son  of  a  Uoosier, 
whose  infant  eyes  first  caught  the  light  through  prime- 
val forests  of  Indiana:  the  grandson  of  old  Virginia; 
and  thus  1  conn-  as  a  connecting  link  between  the  old 
time  and  the  new.  to  tell  you  that  there  is  scarcely  a 
county  in  my  good  State  of  Indiana  where  there  are 
not  splendid  citizens  with  recollections  of  the  early 
days,  and  pleasant  recollections  of  the  fact  that  men 
from  the  Old  Xorth  State  helped  to  make  Indiana 
what  J  believe  her  to  be — the  greatest  commonwealth 
in  the  Republic.  And  so  it  is  an  unusual  pleasure  for 
me  to  come  into  the  <  >ld  Xorth  State,  and  face  its 
citizenship,  and  to  look,  with  the  permission  of  Mrs. 
.Marshall,  into  the  eyes  of  the  fair  women  of  Xorth 
Caro'.ina. 

"I  assume  that  upon  such  an  occasion  as  this,  per- 
haps  some  thoughts  that  may  be  elevated  to  a  high 
plane  may  fitly  be  spoken  touching  this  University 
and  its  work.  We  believe  now  in  evolution,  and  I 
think  we  should  believe  more  in  evolution  along 
social  and  economic  lines,  if  we  would  but  remember 
that  evolution  is  much  like  a  tree,  which  has  two  ways 
to  show  itself  to  humankind.  The  tree  grows  in  cir- 
cumference every  year;  it  strikes  its  roots  deeper  into 
the  ground;  throws  its  head  higher  to  the  sky;  it 
spreads  its  branches  farther  and  farther,  and  fur- 
nishes shade  for  people;  and  yet  the  tree  has  fruit. 
And  sometimes  when  the  hoy  picks  it  in  the  Spring 
of  the  year,  when  it  is  green,  and  he  gets  appendicitis 
or  near-appendicitis,  he  thinks  the  tree  ought  to  be 
cut  down,  and  says  'by  its  fruit  it  ought  to  he  known': 
and  as  it  has  not  good  fruit,  the  tree  oughl  to  go.  Vnd 
sometimes  in  the  Fall  of  the  year,  the  frail   is  unfil

for  use,  because  it  is  too  ripe.  And.  if  we  are  always 
to  look  at  the  present  condition  and  the  outward  mani- 
festations of  the  fruit  of  our  life,  there  ma)  be  main 
of  us  who  would  say  that  the  civilization  under  which 
we  are  living  is  one  that  ought  not  to  endure,  because, 
in  some  instances,  it-  fruit  is  green  and  knarly  and 
unfit  for  use.  But  we  ought  not  to  so  consider  all 
the  affairs  of  life.  We  ought  to  remember  that  the 
fruit  is  but  an  evanescent  thing  so  far  as  the  tree  is 
concerned." 

Taking  the  art  of  printing  as  an  illustration.  Vice- 
President  Marshal]  declared  that  the  art  should  not  be 
condemned  because  the  pros  of  the  country  printed 
much  that  was  unfit  for  public  consumption.  Through 
the  press,  the  Republic  of  the  United  States  had  been 
able  to  sink  its  roots  down  into  the  life  of  the  people. 
and  would  enable  it  to  endure. 

In  characterizing  the  growth  of  civilization,  from 
the  beginning  of  the  Aryan  race  to  the  present,  the 
speaker  said  that  first  the  struggle  was  to  win  the 
headship  of  the  family,  and  then  of  the  tribe.  The 
Englishman  went  a  step  further  and  fought  for  tin 
right.  The  North  Carolina  patriot,  in  fighting  for 
freedom,  gave  to  the  American  people  the  slogan  "God 
never  made  any  man  big  enough  to  be  master  ot  an- 
other man  without  his  consent." 

This  principle  of  evolution,  as  applied  to  American 
education  as  first  conceived  of  by  Jefferson,  had  re 
suited  in  the  acceptance  on  the  part  of  modern  society 
of  the  theory  that  it  is  the  duty  of  every  man,  and 
especially  the  college  man.  to  see  to  it  that  every  man 
and  woman  in  the  Republic  should  make  of  himself 
or  herself  what  God  had  intended  them  to  be. 

In  speaking  of  the  part  played  by  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  in  making  vital  this  principle  in  the 
civilization  of  State  and  nation,  Vice-President  Mar- 
shall concluded  his  address  with  the  following  para- 
graphs : 

"This   University,   if  it   will   send  out    in  the  hour  of 
peace  men  who  are  self-forgetful,  men  who  live  up  to 
the  high  idea's  in  these  days  that  their  fathers  lived  up 
to  in  the  years  gone  by.  this  University  will  have  ju 
fied  herself;  and  for  myself  1   still  hold  it  to  bi 
tially    necessary    that    whatever    systems    of    education 
there  may  be  in  America,  there  must  remain  these  old 
fashioned  cultural  schools.  whose  Imsiness  n  i-  to  make 
men. 

"Hitherto  the  (  >ld  North  Stale  ha.  pre  einincntlv

Excellency,  Governor  Craig,  in  an  exceedingly  he'p- 
ful,  earnest  talk,  urged  the  class  to  play  its  part  well

Spring   Football  Contest 

(  »n  May  17.  twenty-five  men  contested  for  sweaters 
in  the   fi  ill  >\\  ing  events : 

Punting— Won  by  Foust,  '15.  from  Greensboro, 
X.  C.  Average  distance  of  kicks,  50  2-5  yards.  He 
showed  the  best  form  of  all  the  kickers,  got  off  his 
kicks  quicker,  and  had  less  fluke  kicks. 

Drop  Kicking— Won  by  Taylor,  '16,  from  Washing- 
ton, X.  C.  Average  distance  of  kirks.  50  yards.  He 
made  the  longest  drop  kick.  59  yards;  his  percentage 
of  drops  in  number  of  trial  kicks  was  not   large. 

Passing  Ball— Won  by  Fuller.  '15.  from  Braden- 
town.  Ma.  Average  distance  of  45  yards.  Parker. 
'16,  from  Bradentown,  Fla.,  passed  the  ball  53  yards, 
the  greatest  throw,  and  averaged  a  little  further  than 
Fuller,  but    Fuller  passed  better  to  the  runners. 

Catching  and  Passing  Mall— Won  by  ( )ates,  first 
year  'aw.  from  Charlotte.  X.  C.  This  contest  was 
close,  and  hard  to  decide,  because  of  the  large  number 
ot  entries.  Several  men  made  a  perfect  score  catch- 
ing the  ball,  but  did  not  do  so  well  when  falling  on 
the  bal'. 

Tackling—  Won  by  Captain  Abernathy,  '14.  from 
.Mecklenburg  County.  X.  C.  He  made  a  perfect 
score. 

Greatest  \ll-nmnd  Improvement—Won  by  Fitzger- 
ald, '15,  from  Linwood,  X.  C.  He  was  a  beginner,  but 
showed  great   work   in  all   lines. 

Examination  on  Rules— Won  by  Krvin.  '15,  from 
Troutman.  X.  C.  He  answered  thirty-eight  questions 
out  of  forty;  and  they  were  difficult  ones. 

The  kickers  were  slow  getting  off  their  kicks,  and 
took  too  many  steps  before  kicking,  but  this  work  in- 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


creased  the  distances  of  their  kicks.  There  was  i 
siderable  improvement  in  passing,  catching,  and  fall- 
ing on  the  ball.  Very  few  men  knew  the  rules,  and 
few  could  attend  the  night  talks  on  them  and  plays. 
The  greatest  improvement  in  any  of  the  work  was 
tackling,  but  as  that  was  very  poor  at  the  beginn 
there  is  room  for  considerable  improvement. 

Of  the  seventy-five  who  reported,  there  was  an 
average  attendance  of  two  days  per  week  of  the  men 
who  really  worked,  in  spite  of  baseball  games  and 
practice,  and  work  in  the  gymnasium,  and  on  the  track. 
If  the  contests  had  been  held  one  week  sooner,  mon 
men  would  have  entered,  for  examinations  had  begun 
and  they  could  not  spare  an  afternoon  from  their  prep 
aration. 

I  find  that  for  every  varsity  man  who  engaged  in 
the  Spring  work,  there  were  two  class  team  men. 
three  beginners,  and  four  scrub-team  men.  This 
shows  there  are  a  large  class  of  men  who  want  more 
coaching  than  they  are  getting  in  the  Fall.  Mow  can 
four  class  teams  get  sufficient  development  when  they 
have  only  one  coach  and  one  field  to  practice  on,  per- 
mitting them  one  day's  practice  a  week:  With  a 
coach  and  a  fie!d  for  each  class,  we  will  develop  the 
varsity  material,  and  will  not  have  to  depend  each 
year  so  much  on  incoming  players,  and  I  most  earn 
estly  appeal  to  the  alumni  to  make  these  things  pos- 
sible.

THE    UNIVERSITY    IN    LETTERS 

An  excellent  piece  of  practical  investigation  of  rural 
school  conditions  is  embodied  in  a  recent  monograph 
entitled  Consolidation  of  Schools  and  Public  Trans- 
portation of  Pupils,  by  L.  C.  Brogden,  Class  of  [896 
This  monograph  is  the  outcome  of  a  direct  personal 
investigation  of  the  educational  needs  and  conditions 
in  representative  counties  of  North  Carolina,  and  also 
of  indirect  investigation  conducted  by  means  of  ques- 
tionaires.  The  investigation  revealed  the  following 
facts  in  regard  to  the  limitation  and  inherent  weak- 
ness of  the  one-teacher  school.  (  1  )  Its  lack  of  taxable 
area;  (2)  its  lack  of  efficient  school  officers;  (3)  its 
lack  of  pupils;  (4)  its  lack  of  teachers  to  divide  the 
work;  (5)  its  lack  of  efficient  teachers;  (6)  its  lack 
of  efficient  gradation  and  classification  of  pupils;  1  7  1 
its  lack  of  efficient  teaching;  (8)  its  lack  of  an  enriched 
course  of  study;  (9)  its  total  lack  of  high-school  priv- 
ileges; (10)  its  great  expensiveness.  The  conclusion 
reached  after  this  investigation  was  that  the  "one- 
teacher  type  of  school  is  without  possibilities  of  any 
high  degree  of  efficiency,  however  much  salary  may 
be  paid  the  teacher,  however  much  experience  the 
teacher  may  have  had;  and  that  the  one-teacher  type 
of  school,  lacking  in  possibilities,  however  much  im- 
provement may  be  attempted,  to  meet  the  educational 


needs  and  demands  of  rural  life,  must  inevitably  be 
succeeded  by  a  larger,  more  permanent,  more  econ- 
omic, and  more  efficient  type  of   rural  school." 

A  careful  examination  is  then  made  of  three  at- 
tempted solutions  of  the  problem:  (1)  the  Union 
School;  (2)  the  Consolidated  Graded  School;  and  (3) 
the  Typical  Consolidated  School.  Each  of  these  plans 
is  considered,  ranging  from  the  elementary  to  the  com- 
plex, along  with  the  allied  problems  of  the  public 
transportation  of  pupils.  How  vital  this  subject  is 
for  North  Carolina  may  be  realized  when  we  consider 
that  approximately  seventy-five  per  cent,  of  all  the 
rural  schools  of  the  State  are  yet  one-teacher  schools, 
a  large  number  of  which  are  inefficient,  and  might, 
without  much  difficulty,  be  transformed  into  con- 
solidated schools.  Cumberland,  Wake,  and  Rock- 
ingham  Counties,  at  particular  points,  have  under- 
taken with  gratifying  results  the  public  transportation 
of  pupils;  and  the  General  Assembly  has  now  made 
provision  for  counties  in  tins  State,  in  which  con- 
ditions are  favorable  therefor,  to  undertake  this  work. 
In  regard  to  consolidated  schools,  as  exhibited  by  Mr 
Brogden's  monograph  by  personal  experience.  Dr.  J. 
Y.  Joyner,  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  has 
-aid:  "I  am  confident  that  the  time  has  come  to 
commence  this  work  in  North  Carolina  in  many  com- 
munities where  the  need  for  it  is  great  and  the  con- 
ditions for  it  are  favorable.-' 


Two  small  work-,  on  the  subject  of  Bible  Study, 
strikingly  attest  the  qualities  of  efficient  spiritual 
leadership  among  this  University's  younger  alumni. 
The  first,  a  monograph,  i-  entitled  "A  Bible  Study 
of  Life's  Problems,  and  was  prepared  by  the  Rev. 
Ralph  Moore  Harper  (Class  of  [903),  Curate  of  St. 
Paul's  Church,  Boston.  This  monograph  is  the  out 
come  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harper's  experience  in  leading 
a  class  of  forty  or  fifty  men  in  St.  Paul's;  and  is  de- 
signed for  the  purpose  of  creating  some  high  and 
serious  thinking  on  religion.  A  careful  precis  is  made 
of  the  various  representative  sections  of  the  Bible  here 
considered;  and  each  lesson  is  followed  by  a  section 
headed  Personal  Meditation,  in  which  the  larger  and 
broader  questions  which  naturally  arise  are  clearly 
formulated.  Answers  are  not  given,  as  it  is  the  pur- 
pose of  the  course,  first,  to  stimulate  study  of  the  Rible 
itself,  and  second,  to  inspire  the  individual  to  study 
out  for  himself  a  number  of  valuable  lessons  for  his 
own  life's  guidance. 


THE     ALUMNI     REVIEW 


The  other  work  is  a  small  book,  entitled  The  Leader- 
ship of  Bible  Study  Groups,  and  written  by  Dr.  Her 
man  Harrell  Home.  Professor  of  Philosophy  in  New 
York  University  (Class  of   [895,  University  of   North 
Carolina).      Its    purpose    is,    c'.early,    to    provide    the 
essentials  in  the  training  of  leaders  of  groups  of  Bible 
students,  especially  in  our  colleges.     It  has  then  a  dis 
tinct    pedagogical     note,     and      furthermore      direct 
emphasis  upon  the  primary  place  of  the  principle  of 
activity  in  religious  education.     Though   written  pri- 
marily to  meet   the   needs  of   Young   .Men's  Christian 
Associations,   it   will   certainly   be    useful     to     Young 
Women's  Christian  Associations  and  to  Bible  teachers 
generally.      The   author   has   made   his    work    one   of 
particular  value,  in  stressing  the  view  throughout  thai 
"the  Bible  should  come  to  function  more  largely  in  the 
life    of   modern    man    and     society,     through     having 
brought  to  it  our  personal  and  social  needs  and  prob- 
lems for  satisfaction  and  solution." — A.   II. 


Reclaiming  a  Commonwealth 

Dr.  Cheesman  A.  Herrick,  President  of  Girard  Col- 
lege in  Philadelphia,  has  recently  published  a  book  ol 
essays  which  contains  the  following  appreciation  of  the 
educational  work  which  has  been  done  in  North  Caro 
lina  largely  through  the  effort  of  University  men. 

North  Carolina  was  long  considered  the  standing 
example  of  illiteracy  and  educational  inefficiency.  In 
a  scientific  study  of  education,  as  late  as  [900,  she  was 
placed  with  the  lowest  expenditure  per  capita  for 
schools,  and  the  lowest  productive  power  per  capita. 
A  recent  governor  of  the  State,  and  a  group  of  men 
with  whom  he  labored,  proclaimed  to  the  people  ol 
North  Carolina,  from  the  tidewater  regions  to  the 
mountain  fastnesses,  that  theirs  was  the  pooresl  State 
in  the  Union  in  dollars  and  cents,  and  the  most  illiterate 
save  one. 

Knowledge  of  the  North  State's  part  in  the  Civil  War 
is  necessary  to  understand  her  subsequent  educational 
history.      Attendance   upon    a    State    reunion    of    Con 
federate  veterans  at  Greensboro  taught  a  little  of  how 
great   had  been   her  sacrifice,   how   complete   net    sub 
jugation.     Broken  and  aged  men.  the  shadow  of  theii 
former  selves,  and  of  the  armies  in  which  they  served, 
wore  in  their  hats  what  the)    called  a  brag   feather  of 
the  Tar  Heels'    Brigade,   which   recited  their   record: 
"First   at   Bethel,   Foremost    at    Gettysburg,    Euirthesl 
at  Chickamauga,  and   Last   al     Vppomattox.       North

never  permitted  sectarianism  to  become  an  issue  in  the 
control  of  her  schools;  North  Carolina  has  centralized 
her  education,  giving  economy  and  efficiency  of  admin- 
istration ;  this  State  is  leading  in  improved  architecture 
for  rural  schools;  and,  finally.  North  Carolina  is  be- 
lieved to  point  useful  lessons  in  wise  and  safe  educa- 
tional  experimentation. 


At   the   Front — A   Comparison 

Not  the  least  interesting  feature  of  commencement 
week  was  the  unveiling  of  the  soldier  boy  monument, 
which  has  already  been  so  fully  described  in  the  daily 
papers.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  Mr.  John  Wilson,  the 
sculptor,  has  done  his  work  so  well  that  the  serious 
youth  and  sober  earnestness  of  his  young  hero  in 
bronze  have  silenced  those  critics  who  had  seen  only 
photographs  of  the  preliminary  sketch,  and  added  to 
the  enthusiasm  of  his  many  admirers. 

It  may  interest  the  alumni  to  know  that  the  sculptor, 
a  Canadian  by  birth,  now  an  American  citizen  and 
living  in  Boston,  had  already  used  the  same  clay  that 
went  into  the  making  of  our  youth  to  make  the  statue 
of  a  soldier  boy  from  Bath,  Me.,  who  fought  for  the 
Union.  The  lesson  is  significant.  The  unveiling  of 
this  monument  to  our  students  who  fought  in  the  Civil 
War  calls  to  mind  a  series  of  valuable  statistical  pa] 
which  Judge  Beake  has  prepared  for  the  Harvard 
Graduates'  Magazine,  the  fifth  paper  having  just  ap- 
peared in  the  June  number.  These  papers  toll  of  the 
part  played  by  Harvard  men  in  the  four  years'  strug 
gle,  and  two  of  them  draw  an  interesting  parallel  be- 
tween Harvard  and  the  University  of  North  Carolina. 
This  comparison  includes  all  graduates  ami  students 
who  went  to  the  war.  The  further  comparison  of  the 
Harvard  commanders  with  those  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina  shows  the  conspicuous  part  played  by 
these  institutions  in  the  tremendous  struggle. 

Judge  Beake  quotes  from  the  address  of  Dr.  Weeks 
at  the  centennial  celebration  of  the  opening  of  the 
University  of  North  Carolina,  June  5,  [895:  "Were* 
it  possible  for  us  to  obtain  a  complete  history  of  each 
one  of  our  students  in  the  more  Southern  States,  it 
would  no  doubt  be  found  to  be  a  fact  that  our  alumni. 
wherever  they  were,  held  more  than  their  proportion- 
ate share  of  the  places  of  trust  and  honor  and  of  the 
posts  of  danger  ....  It  seems  safe  to  say  that 
no  educational  institution  contributed  more,  in  pro 
portion  to  relative  strength,  than  did  the  University 
of   North  Carolina." 

The  "History''  of  this  university,  by  Dr.   Battle,  is 
then  quoted  as  to  the  number  of  men  we  had  in  the 


Civil  War,  and  Judge  Beake  continues:  "These  are 
stubborn  facts.  The  statements  of  Dr.  Weeks  have 
not  been  contradicted.  One  deduction  is  obvious — 
that  when  heroic  deeds  were  to  be  performed  on  the 
field  of  battle,  the  training  of  Harvard  (and  North 
Carolina  )  produced  high-minded  men  and  competent 
leaders.  'For  a  good  tree  bringeth  not  forth  corrupt 
fruit :  neither  doth  a  corrupt  tree  bring  forth  good 
fruit." 

To  quote  further  from  the  Harvard  Graduates' 
Magazine:  "(if  2^)2  graduates  and  students.  Presi- 
dent Battle,  of  that  institution,  mentions  1062  who 
fought  for  the  Southern  Confederacy.  None  of  her 
sons  was  in  the  confederate  navy,  and  of  the  I  nion 
soldiers,  only  one  is  specified,  Maj.-Gen.  Francis  P. 
Blair." 

We  find  this,  however,  to  be  an  error,  for  among 
those  receiving  their  degrees  in  i<;m.  were  two  who 
had  served  in  the  Confederate  navy,  and  one  who  had 
served  in  the  I  nion  navy.

And  in  the  summary  of  conclusions,  we  find  the 
following : 

- Harvard  bore  on  her  rolls  more  stu- 
dents, who  were  Generals  in  the  Confederate  Army, 
than  an)    College  or   University,   North  or  South. 

3.  Harvard  lost  more  men  in  battle  than  similar 
institutions,  excepting  the  University  of  North  Caro- 
lina. 

In  this  connection,  a  catalog  of  Washington  Col 
lege,  ca'led  since  1S71  The  Washington  anil  Lee  Uni- 
versity, shows  that  348  of  the  1313  graduates  and 
temporary  students  from  1 S 1 7  to  [864  were  in  the

Honors  for  the    Faculty 

In  recognition  of  the  achievement  and  scholarship 

of  President  Venable  and  Prof.  Charles  W.  I  lain, 
of  the  Department  of  Creek,  these  two  members  of  the 
Faculty  were  granted  the  degree  of  I.I..D.  by  the 
Jefferson  Medical  College,  of  Philadelphia,  and  the 
University  of  South  Carolina,  respectively,  during 
the  present  commencement  period. 

In  conferring  the  degree  upon  1 'resident  Venable 
the  Jefferson  Medical  College  departed  from  its  custom 
of  honoring  only  doctors  of  medicine,  he  being  the 
first  person  to  receive  the  honor  for  work  in  any  other 
field  than  that  of  medicine.  Professor  Bain's  work 
in  the  classics  previous  to  his  coming  to  the  I'm 
sity.  and  since,  has  distinguished  him  as  a  scholar  of 
rare  ability.  The  University  rejoices  with  him  and 
President  Venable  upon  the  honors  so  worthil) 
bestowed. 


The    Summer    School    and    the    School    of    Law 

The  University  Summer  School  and  the  School  of 
Law  began  their  terms  for  [913,  on  June  11  and  12. 
respectively. 

The  Summer  School,  two  weeks  after  the  date  of 
opening,  had  enrolled  463  students,  equaling  the  total 
of  last  year's  enrollment,  with  the  prospect  of  carry- 
ing the  total  registration  well  to  the  six  hundred  mark. 
The  school  has  started  its  work  with  tine  spirit,  ami 
the  dream  of  the  University  of  making  itself  incr< 
ingly  useful  to  the  teachers  of  the  State  through  the 
new  educational  building  is  being  happily  realized. 
To  see  four  hundred  teacher-students  stream  out  of 
the  ample  class-rooms  of  the  new  hall  is  a  daily  sight 
which  makes  glad  the  University's  innermost  soul. 

On    Friday.   June    13,    the    formal    opening   of    the 
school   was  held.     Director  Walker  indicated  the  char 
acter  of  work  that  might  he  done,  and  Dean  Graham 
bade  the  students  welcome  to  their  own   University. 

The   attendance    in   the    School    of    Law    was    forty 
five   at   the   end   of  the    second    week,    and    work    was 
well    under    way.      Miss    Julia    Alexander,    of    Char- 
lotte, the  only  lady  in  the  class,  has  been  elected  ■ 
president.

New  Book   by   Dr.  Smith 

"What  Can  Literature  Do  for  Me?"  by  C.  Alphonso 
Smith.  Poe  Professor  of  English  in  the  University  of 
Virginia.     Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.,   Publishers. 

A  book  for  everyone  who  would  like  to  read  profit- 
ably and  wisely. 

A  book  for  everyone  who  seeks  a  definite,  tangible 
help  in  everyday  life  from  the  masterpieces  of  all 
time. 

So  runs  the  publishers'  announcement  of  Dr. 
Smith's  latest  book,  and  the  characterization  is  suit- 
able. To  this,  however,  may  be  added  that  the  reader 
will  not  only  find  Dr.  Smith's  answer  to  the  question 
full  of  fascinating  interest,  but  will  be  impelled,  if  he 
is  a  novice  in  literature,  to  test  for  himself  the 
accuracy  of  the  author's  conclusions. — University  of 
Virginia  Alumni  News. 

Chance'lor  J.  H.  Kirkland.  of  Vanderbilt  Universitv. 
announced  on  May  31,  that  a  proposal  had  been  made 
by  Andrew  Carnegie  to  provide  Si. 000,000  for  the 
benefit  of  Vanderbilt's  medical  department.  Of  this 
sum,  $200000  would  lie  given  to  the  University  im 
mediately  for  the  erection  ami  equipment  of  labora- 
tories. The  income  from  the  remaining  $800,000 
would  be  paid  annually  for  the  supporl  of  the  depart- 
ment through  the  Carnegie  Corporation.  A  condition 
of  the  donation  provides  that  the  direction  of  the  edu- 
cational and  scientific  work  of  the  department  be  com- 
mitted by  the  Hoard  of  Trusi  In  a  board  of  seven 
members,  three  of  whom  shall  be  eminent  in  medical 
and  scientific  work.  The  offer,  it  was  said,  would  be 
accepted.  The  College  of  Bishops  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church.  South,  at  a  recent  meeting,  recom- 
mended unanimously  that  the  gift  be  not  received. 


In  study  the  methods  by  which  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  is  serving  the  State  in  various  ways,  a 
party  of  fifty  public  officers  and  citizens  of  Philadelphia 
and  other  cities  of  Pennsylvania  arranged  an  inspec- 
tion trip  to  Madison.  Wis.,  for  four  days  from  May 
21  to  May  25.  The  Pennsylvanians  were  particularly 
interested  in  the  relation  of  the  University  to  the 
State,  cities,  and  rural  communities,  through  the 
medium  of  the  extension  division's  municipal  refer- 
ence library,  commercial  reference  library,  traveling 
package  libraries,  correspondence  study  courses,  health 
bureau,  classwork  among  students  in  extension  centers

THE    ALUMNI    REVIEW 


1860 
Washington,  D.  G,  June  6.— It  was  definitely  decided  at 
the  cabinet  meeting  today  that  Major  E.  J.  Hale,  of  Fayette- 
ville,  is  to  be  appointed  Minister  to  Costa  Rica,  following 
the  stamp  of  approval  placed  on  him  by  Senators  Simmons 
and  Overman,  when  President  Wilson  called  at  the  Sena-te 
yesterday. — Charlotte   Observer. 

1863 
John  Wright  Mallett  writes  from  Fayetteville,  N.  C,  that 
failing  health  and  loss  of  sight  prevent  his  reuniting  with  his 
classmates.  He  recalls  all  of  his  classmates,  and  remembers 
vividly  the  excitement  of  joining  Captain  Ashe's  Company, 
and  reporting  to  the  Governor  for  service. 

1867 
Hon.   Hannis  Taylor,  LL.D.,   was   Inter-society   Speaker   at 
the  joint  banquet  of  the  Societies,  Monday  evening.     He  was 
the  guest  of  Prof.  E.  K.  Graham. 

1870 

Prof.  Alexander  Graham,  A.M.  '85;  LL.B.  Columbia,  '73; 
for  twenty-five  years  superintendent  of  the  Charlotte  public 
schools,  was  tonight  superseded  by  the  assistant  superin- 
tendent, Harry  P.  Harding,  who  has  been  with  the  city 
schools  for  six  years.  Superintendent  Graham  was  later 
elected   assistant  superintendent. — News  and   Observer. 

1879 

Rt.  Rev.  Robert  Strange,  bishop  of  the  diocese  of  Easl 
Carolina,  delivered  the  address   to   the   alumni   <<n   June   3 

1882 

Rev.  Robert  Thumas  P>ryan,  D.D.,  was  a  welcome  guesl  on 
the  Hill  during  Commencement.  Dr.  Bryan  went  to  China  in 
1886  as  a  Baptist  missionary.  His  home  is  Shanghai.  Dr. 
Bryan  is  a  sunny-hearted  gentleman,  a  good  speaker,  with  a 
fund  of  humor  and  humorous  stories.  His  splendid  work 
in   China    is   part   of  the  religious    world's    information. 

1886 

Dr.  Stephen  B.  Weeks,  of  the  Bureau  of  Education,  of 
Washington,  D.  C,  has  published  in  the  North  Carolina 
Library  Bulletin  for  June,  "A  Selecl  Bibliography  of  North 
Carolina." 

1888 

The  class  of  '88  was  represented  in  their  reunion  by  St. 
Clair  Hester,  C.  G.  Foust,  M.  L.  John,  \V.  E.  1  leaden,  and 
Victor  Bryant,  who  are  mentioned  below  in  separate  items 
As  the  news  reporters  would  say  they  were  the  featun 
Alumni  Day — witty  and  breezy,  and  growing  mellow  with 
love  for  the  University  of  North  Carolina.  Their  picture 
appears  in  another  part  of  The  Review. 

Rev.  St.  Clair  Hester  is  rector  of  the  Episcopal  Church  of 
the  Messiah,  Clearmont  and  Green  Avenues,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 
Mr.  Hester  was  chief  spokesman  for  his  class  at  the  reunion, 
and  contributed  much  interesting  information  and  many  stories 
of  his  classmates.  He  has  a  fund  of  humor  and  many  jokes — 
so  was  not  allowed  to  escape  the  toastmaster's  call  at  Alumni 
Luncheon. 

"Rev.  Dr.  St.  Clair  Hester  who  is  rector  of  the  Church  of 
the  Messiah,  Brooklyn,  has  been  observing  the  baseball  games 
from  the  grandstand  here  the  last  few  days,  and  it  is  interest- 
ing to  hear  him  talk. 


"You  see.  he  watches  the  games  from  Ebbett's  $1,000,000 
field,  and  is  on  to  the  curves  of  Nap  Rucker,  Christy  Mathew- 
son,  and  other  favorites.  He  likes  to  see  the  dashes  about 
the  diamond,  and  when  a  coach  stops  a  flying  runner  on  the 
home  stretch,  it  wearies  him.  He  is  used  to  seeing  men  who 
lose  nothing  by  hesitation.  Doctor  Hester  yesterday  sat  and 
watched  the  game,  and  without  notes  could  call  off  the  play- 
ers, tell  their  sharp  points,  and  calculate  to  a  nicety  their 
chances  for  getting  into  a  bigger  show.  He  is  something  of 
a  baseball  compendium  as  well  as  a  religious  ready  reckoner. 
That  shocks  some  folks,  but  the  perfectly  pious  cannot  longer 
be  looked  up  to  if  they  neglect  baseball.  Mr.  Dooley  always 
has  thought  President  Taft  remembers  more  "exchampeen 
prize-fighters"  than  he  does  vice-presidents.  What  possible 
w  n  mg  there  can  be  in  knowing  major  league  pitchers  along 
with  minor  prophets  cannot  be  understood  here.  Rev.  Dr.  St. 
Clair  Hester,  of  Brooklyn,  will  preach  this  morning  at  eleven 
o'clock  to  the  Christ  Church  congregation." — Nezvs  and

died  last  evening  shortly  before  seven  o'clock  at  the  home  of 
his  father  on  Asheboro  Street,  after  an  illness  of  several 
months.  Mr.  Hudson  had  been  in  declining  health  for  some 
time,  and  five  months  ago  went  to  Montrose  in  Moore  County, 
in  the  hope  of  regaining  his  lost  health,  but  the  disease  with 
which  he  was  suffering  had  too  strongly  fastened  itself  upon 
him,  and  a  month  ago  he  returned  to  his  home  here  with 
little  hope  of  recovering. 

Mr.  Hudson  was  twenty-five  years  of  age,  being  bom  here 
in  1888.  In  October,  1911,  Mr.  Hudson  married  Miss  Pauline

WHY  CAROLINA  BUSINESS    MEN   SHOULD    USE 

THE   ALUMNI    REVIEW 

AS  AN 

ADVERTISING     MEDIUM 

1 .  It  is  READ  by  thousands  where  most  periodicals  are  just  looked  at, 
and  it  is  read  from  back  to  back  and  KEPT. 

2.  The  advantage  of  regular  and  dignified  publicity,  among  ones  friends, 
is  greater  than  an  occasional  circular  announcement. 

3.  Its   paid    circulation  is   steadily    on  the    increase,    and    it  reaches    the 
highest  type  of  citizenship. 

4.  It  reaches  more  professional  men  than  any  one  magazine  of  its  class 
in  North  Carolina. 

Advertising  rates  will  be  furnished  on  request.
