It is said that President Cleve
land, remaked in connection
with the appointment of Dr. Alex
ander as minister to Greece, that
he regarded it as one of the best
appointments he had made. The
only reason we mention the above
is because we would like to state
that what Mr. Cleveland said is
the opinion of everyone who
knows Dr. Alexander,
The fellows who compose the
University of Vermont baseball
team, are undoubtedly the most
gentlemanly set of college men
our team has ever met. The
University of Vermont has cause
not only to be proud of the record
of the team she sends out, but
also proud of the fact that they
deport themselves as gentlemen
wherever they go.
There is one thing that those
who have the baseball interests
of the University in hand should
attend to and that is; providing
suitable coachers for the base
runners. It was a noticeable
fact in our last game with Ver
mont, that two men were put out
simply because no one was in po
sition to coach them. There was
a marked contrast in that particu
lar of our team with that of Ver
mont, every time Vermont had a
man on a base, he was always
properly coached, and when we
had a man on bases, nine times
out of ten, he was not told when
he should run.
. Charles Baskerville, '92,
who from the inception of the Tar
HEEL, until he resigned the po
sition of editor-in-chief, had been
its guiding spirit, left Saturday
for New York, preparatory to
sailing for Germany to-day. He
goes abroad to pursue an advanced
course in chemistry, and will re
main in Europe until September,
when he will return to the Uni
versity to fill the position he has
filled so well for the last year
assistant in Chemical Labra
tory. The Tar Heel and his
many friends wish him a good
vo age, a pleasant and profitable
stay, and a safe return to us next
session.
The record our ball team has
made in the four games they have
played is indeed a good one, and
we have cause to be proud of our
team and sanguine of its pros
pects. To play an errorless game
with such a team as Vermont,
and hold them down to such a
score, shows of what our team is
composed. Capt. Stewart, of the
Vermont team, said our team was
the best they had met since they
left Vermont, and that if they
had played the game against
Princeton they put up against us
in Raleigh, that they would have
beaten Princeton badly. We
have good reasons "for believing
our team will win the Southern
championship, and if they train
properly and play together we
feel sure they will.
After many trials and a great
deal of work, by a few of the
gentlemen who were elected edi
tors of the Hellenian, the work
has nearly been completed, and
the contract for publishing it nas
been awarded to Messrs. Chas. B.
Elliott & Co., of Philadelphia.
It is hoped that it will be a true
exponent ot the advancement of
the University, and that it will
eclipse, by far, the issues of for
mer years. It certainly should do
so; if it does, it will be due, not
to the editors as a whole, but to
a few who had the welfare of the
Annual at heart and who worked
hard to make it a success.
Almost every year some men
are elected editors who have no
definite idea of the duties they
have to perform, and when in
formed what they 'are are too in
dolent to do them. The only
conclusion a sane man can draw
from such actions, is that the
reason they labor so hard to be
elected editors, is not because of
their capacities for work of that
kind, but simply because it looks
so nice to have your picture in
the Annual.
The meeting of the Elisha
Mitchell Scientific Society on last
Tuesday night was sooner than
usual this month in order that the
last meeting might come before
Commencement. Prof. Gore
presided and discussed the, new
storage cell for electric street rail
ways. This was organized at
Harvard and bids fair to super
sede the dangerous overhead
wires. The trouble about the
great weight of storage cells is
obviated for the first time in this
cell.
Dr. Wilson next presented a
paper on "Marine Biology."
Mr. Baskerville then explained
a new and shorter process he or
iginated for examining iron ores.
After a few further remarks by
Dr. Venable on the Sphere of
Democritus, an ancient dividing
table, the meeting adjourned.
