4 GIFTS TO THE LIBRARY. The Yale University Press has re cently given the College Library a set (ten) of scientific books known as the Silliman Memorial Lectures. The subjects of these lectures are chosen "from the domain of natural science and history .giving special prominence to Astronomy, Chemis try, Geology and Anatomy." The list is as follows: Thomson—Electricity and Matter. Sherrington—lntegrative Action of the Nervous System. Rutherford—Radio Active Trans formations. Nernst—Experimental and Theo retical Applications of Thermody namics to Chemistry. Bateson—Problems of Genetics. Campbel I—Stellar Motions. Arrhenims —Theories of Solutions. Verwom—lrritability. Idding's Problem of Volcanism. Rice—Problems of American Ge ology. Only two of the above are dupli cates of what we had. Another series of books known as the Bross Library has also come to us. This is a series of books pub lished by Lake Forest College, Wis consin. There will be others to come of this series, but thus far we have received: Royce—Sources of Religious In sight Orr—Problem of the Old Testa ment. Dods—Bible, Its Origin and Na ture. Thomson—Bible of Nature. Bliss—Religions of Modern Syria and Palestine. Thorburn—Mythical Interpreta tion of the Gospels. Wright—Faith Justified by Pro gress. These books, as yiou see, are, ac cording to the will of the founda tion, "on the connection, relation, and mutual bearing of any practical science, the history of our race, or the facts of any department of knowledge with and upon the Chris tian Religion." We are also in receipt of three vol umes of the series given by Dr. Thomas Newlin on "The Great War." The chief author of this work is George H. Allen, of the History De partment of the University of Penn sylvania. We gladly welcome such additions as these to our shelves. FACULTY CHANGES GRADING SYSTEM.

BASKETBALL NOTES. The two preliminary games are over and the inter-collegiate season opens this week. It looks as if Coach Doak has developed a right lively lit tle bunch of tossers for the hard con tests ahead. The team while un usually light is fast and fairly dan gerous along the shooting line. Cap tain Smith, who has formerly played the forward position, has been by force of circumstances, there being no great amount of pivotal material on hand, shifted to center, and con sidering his inexperience is playing a good game. The forward positions are filled by Semans and Jones. Se mans has made considerable im provement since last season and is showing up well. Jones is playing a steady game at forward and does not hesitate to do a little guarding on the side. His work in the game Sat urday night, while not sensational from the standpoint of goal shooting, was of a high grade defensively. His work was a splendid exhibition of the defensive power of the offensive position, which incidentally gave Smith a chance to pocket a number of field goals. At guard Massey and Walser are in tihe game all the time. Massey is particularly strong in working the ball to the Guilford basket and Wal ser usually covers his man in good shape. Upon occasion he can net the ball with accuracy. The team looks fairly good, but there is still room for a world of improvement. There is a slight tendency toward individ ual work which must disappear, and under the tutelage of Coach Doak will, in all likelihood, be weeded out entirely as the quint is rounded into a perfect machine. Paster passing, somewhat like the Winston style but adapted to the college court, would strengthen the offensive power of the team. The scrub team is working away with a vengeance and the improve ment of these players is marked. Zachary and Westmoreland at center are making progress while "Stumpy" Finch and Morris at guard, "Huck" Rallinger and Miller at forward are in the game with a vengeance. The Scrubs are doing their part in the development of the 'Varsity. On Friday evening the strong Wake Forest quint is met at Wake Forest and on Saturday the A. & M. team is played in the auditorium in Raleigh. Both these games will test the mettle of the Quakers and the outcome is awaited with interest. The Baptists were defeated last week by Trinity but by a close score and a stiff contest will pro'bably be staged on Friday. The Quakers are determined to get revenge for the merciless drubbing which the Bap tists gave them last year and while Coach Doak is silent as to the out come, his smile betrays his real con victions. Boys, we have got to have these two games. HUFFINE HOTEL GREENSBORO Also Yadkin Hotel Salisbury, N. 0. Stonewall Hotel. . . .Charlotte, N. C. LaFayette Hotel. . Fayetteville, N. C.
