Not often have we seen a more
enthusiastic audience than that
which greeted the Glee and Banjo
Clubs, of the U. of Pa.,in the Met
ropolitan Opera House last Wed
nesday. Chapel Hill had sent
quite a delegation down in re
sponse to a very cordial invitation
from the manager of the club.
Only four seats down stairs were
unoccupied when the twenty-nine
young students filed on the
stage, and although the opening
song "Ben Franklin," with banjo
accompaniment was rather dis
appointing, the remainder of the
concert more than atoned for this
slight fault.
The Banjo Club, with the
matchless Eno at its head, made
hit after hit, and completely car
ried away the audience. Every
variety of music was handled with
grace and finish, and when the
beloved "Dixie" was rendered,
the volume of applause was al
most overwhelming.
As to the singing of the club;
it showed very careful training,
and the general effect was good,
although the solos did not fully
come up to the general excellence
of the entertainment.
Possibly the octette's work
was more pleasing than that of
the full club. We feel it but fair
to say, that after hearing the vo
calizing of this organization, rep
resenting as it does one of the
largest universities of our land;
we are more proud than ever of
our glee club, for we feel that she
can hold her own with the very
best; and when once our banjo
club is on a sure footing, as we
hope to see it next year, we need
not fear to appear before any au
dience. A very graceful compliment
was paid to the U. N. C, by the
Quaker City boys, when they
gave our yell during thecourse
of the programme, followed by
their own. The Pennsylvania
boys are clever and manly fellows,
and we welcome them with their
jolly "Christofo Columbo" and
rythmic "spin-spin," to the music
loving Old North State.

MR. BASKERVILLE FTF.P-
TED FOOT-BALL
MANAGER.
Mr. Chas. Baskerville has been
re-elected Business Manager of
the foot-ball team, for the ensuing
fall, by the Executive Committee
of the Athletic Association. As
Mr. Baskerville is not at present
on the Hill, being in Germany,
pursuing post-graduate work in
Chemistry, it is not known
whether he will accept, but it i
to be hoped that his work will
permit ot his accepting this im
portant place, which he managed
so successfully last season. The
team traveled more than 2000
miles and new outfits were pur
chased for most of the players, '
yet by his judicious management,
a surplus was left in the treasury
at the close of the season.
The Editors of the University
Magazine for '93 and '94 have
been elected, and we congratulate
the University and the magazine
upon the fact that the.gentleman
who have been elected, are all ca
pable of filling the important po
sitions which the respective soci
eties have elected them 1 0.
During the past year, through the
efforts of Prof. Collier Cobb the
efficient and capable managing
Editor, the magazine has stepped
to the front as the representative
college magazine i n the South.
Indeed it has attained such a high
degree of literary excellence, that
Harper's, the Century, the Arena
and the Atlantic and magazines
of that character have put it on
their exchange list. We are glad
to say that Prof. Cobb, will con
tinue to supervise the magazine,
and we feel assured that with the
able board he will have to help
him, that the magazine will not
only continue to be the best of
southern college periodicals, but
will rank with any published in
the Union. The following gen
tlemen will comprise the Edi
torial Staff for next year. From
the Dialectic Society, Messrs. T.
C. Smith, '94, F. M. Shannon
house, '95, and W. D. Carmichael,
'96. From the Philanthropic
Society, Messrs. A. C. Ellis, '94,
F. L. Carr, '95 and H. A. Grady,
'96.
There are 300,000 commercial
