The marked improvement
shown by the Magazine under
the new management is the
source of no little gratification to
all who have the good of the Uni
versity at heart. The last num
ber had twice as many pages of
reading matter as any of the pre
vious numbers, save number 3
when the present management
assumed control--and the matter
was, on the whole, far superior.
" Besides being given a better
literary tone, the Magazine has
been rendered more attractive by
the insertion as a frontispiece in
each issue of a cut of some prom
inent North Carolinian followed
by a sketch of his life and work.
This, we think, is especially note
worthy, for it serves to foster our
love for those who served our
state in darker times and stimu
lates those who hope to serve her
in these brighter days.
No stone has been left un
turned in making the Magazine
a t financial success, as may be
seen from the. wonderfully in
creased number of advertisements
advertisers will only advertise
in a medium which is far-reaching.
The number of paid sub
scribers, we are informed, is
thribble now what it was Janu
ary 1st. Every effort has been
made, to increase the size of its
subscription list. For instance,
a splendid steel engraving of
Bishop Phillips Brooks was given
to all new subscribers whose
names were received in February.
We understand that prizes will
be offered to students -or those
desiring to be students here for
those who , secure the greatest
number of new paid subscribers
(for session '93-4), between now
and September 1st next. .The
first-prize
board for the session of '93-4, the
second will be tuition alone for
the same session. Those wrho
have done good work and have
::''" ''': ! .
' . . '
secured a sufficient number, but
not as many as either of the .first
two, will receive valuable prizes,
books. . Thetwo societies, faculty, the
students, the entire University is
to be congratulated on having
one with such inexhaustable en
ergy and so well equipped for
managing editor. The Magazine
promises thus to be one of the
most potent factors in building up
the University and m a king
known its needs. , v
When our football team trot
ted on the field in' Atlanta and
Nashville, tho' a fine looking set
of fellows, they lacked unifor
mity in appearance. Now we
have our baseball uniforms all
alike, , but the sweaters! one man
has a white one with a black "U, ' '
1 another a black one with a blue
i "U," or some one has a light blue
one. This doesjnot look nice, so j
, the managers and captains have
met to decide on a " 'Varsity" 1
sweater, which is to be the uni
form of both the base and foot
ball teams. Mr. Spalding, of
New York, has offered some sug
gestions and in a few days will
send samples from which a selec
tion is to be made. None will
be allowed to wear or to own
these garments except men who
represent us on the 'Varsity and
substitutes. A man may pur
chase his sweater from the Asso
ciation at the end of the season if
he chooses.
This is indeed - a step in the
right direction, we think. We, 1
in honoring our athletes, should
have some distinctive sign by
which they can be known. These
special sweaters will be indica
tive of the man's athletic merit
and the restriction to his use sole
ly, will be no more than what is
right. When a man has trained
faithfully and worked hard and
won his place on our team he
deserves something which shows
his superiority and which he may
wear with honor.
We have heard that the sweater
is to be the same as the Yale foot
ball sweaters with "N. C." mon
gram in blue instead of "Y." It
wouldn't be a bad idea also to
have a 'Varsity cap. ,

AMONG COLLEGE ATH
LETES. Harvard has declined to adopt
the new 1 'undergraduate rule, ' ' as
it is called. There seems, there
fore, little possibility of her meet
ing Princeton in baseball this sea
son, though she may meet Yale.
The three dates for the Yale
Princeton games have been an
nounced. ; The last is in New
York and will be played, what
ever the, result of the other two.
In the meeting of the Inter
collegiate Athletic Association
the , ; ' 'undergraduate , rule" was
voted down by a vote of 11 to 8.
So it will not apply to track ath
letics for this season.
Yale has Clarkson to train her
baseball team and he is already
: in the cage, giving points to her
I pitchers. Princeton has her team
i under the trainiug of Foutz, of
I the Brooklyns. The University
of Virginia has secured the ser
vices of Nash, who captains the
Bostons. He will be with them
for two weeks.
Yale and Princeton have se
lected a . Graduate Committee of
two, Walter Camp and Cuylor,
who shall decide all points con
nected with the eligibility of
players. There should be a sim
ilar committee in our Southern
Association. It is much needed
and we will make a push for it
next year. .:' ';;y' "'
The students at Harvard Uni
versity have organized the har
vard Electric club. Prominent
electricians will address the club
and members will read papers be
fore it. The club is not to be a
purely social organization, but its
object is to promote knowledge
of electricity and kindred sub
jects. The Order of Gringhouls an
nounced the election of Mr. How
ard E. Rondthaler '93 at twelve
o'clock the night of Washington's
Birthday,' in .their usual way, with
drums and a transparency.
