Entered at the postoffice of Chapel Hill, N. C, as secona aass matter. Monday, Sept. 25, 1893. After a fitful and wavering exis- tance of one year, THE Tar Heel, now commences its second volume. Commences it with the hope that all the students, alumni and faculty will give it that support, which is necessary to make it a permanent fixture of Jh Universi ty. The Editors hope x nake-the Thd Tar Heel, a .moucl college weekly; they cannot do it, without the help of all the students, and it is earnestly hoped that the support that is necessary and essential to make it a success, will be given it. Every student all the alumni and the friends of the University should subscribe for it, they would Je more than repaid, for the paper intends to give an accurate and impartial history of all that occurs at the University that woald inter est students and alumni. We have a great University here and it should have a representative paper. We ask you all to help us make THE TAR HEEL, what it sheuld be, help 11s with your advice, with your en couragement and last but not least, help us with your paid subscription. Dr. R. H. Whitehead has bought out the McRae, Drug store. He will run it in the future, with Mr, McRae as manager. The stock of drugs, stationery and students ar ticles has been largely increased, and the boys in the" future, as in the past will find that it will be to their benefit to trade . there. Mr. McRae's drug store is one of the best known places at the Uni versity, it is there the boys have lounged, smoked, and told jokes for the last 15 years. McRae is the boys true friend and THE Tar HEEL hopes that the students will continue to patronize him. HUNTER LEE HARRIS. We chronicle the death of Hun-' ter Lee. Harris by accidental drown ing in Lower Little River near the boundary of Comberland and Har nett counties. Mr. Harris graduated at the Uni versity in 1889 with the diploma of B. S. He was for several years connected with the North Carolina Experiment Station as secretary to the Director. He was for a year In structor of Geology in this Univer sity, and for the past session was a special advanced student in Geo logy in Harvard University. At the time of his death he was assist ing Prof. Joseph A. Holmes in the conduct of the State Geolgical Sur vey. He was taking a bath in the river when he got beyond his depth and met his untimely fate. Hunter Harris was one of the most promising young men in the state. He had a strong mind, ex cellent principles, a most Ioveable, disposition. He stood high as a student at this University and won many laurels during his year at Harvard. He was keeping up the high reputation University boys have attained at that great institu tion. , He was an active member of the Methodist church and of the Young Men's Christian Association. His death is deeply deplored by us all Faculty, Alumni and students. This University .has lost since he reopening in 1875 four of our most promising oung Alumni by accidental di owning. They are: j James Mann Nicholson, (1878,) in a mill pond in Halifax county. Frank Gorden Hines, (1882,) at Nag's Head in the ocean. Charles Urquhart Hill, (1883,) at Ocracoke, in the ocean. Hunter Lee Harris (1889), in Lower Little River, near the tyun daries of Cumberland and Har nett counties. : Notwithstanding, the hard times, the dispensary trouble in South Carolina, the silver debate in Congress, the presence of chol era abroad, the probability of war in Europe, war in Brazil, the Har rell excursion to Chicago, and the fact that G rover's girl was not a boy, the University opended with 367 students oir the Hill, the University has an assured future and it is gra tifying to its many friends that in midst of so much financial depres sion and general hard times, that it opened its doors with the largest number of students since 1861. This fact speaks well for the push, energy and wide-awakeness of our able and loved President who has worked hard, unceasingly, and is working, and will continue to work to put the University in the position that it adorned in Ante Bellum days the first institution of learning in the South. The Legislature'siime ly gift to the University of $20,000 has indeed been a God send, for with it the buildings have been completely renovated, a system of water works, heaters and all the appliances conducive to the health and comfort of the students, have been added. FOOT BALL PROSPECTS, &c. The team is practicing every evening out in the Athletic Park. The following old men have return ed and are training heavily, Guion, Kirkpatrick, Little, Pugh, Barnard Baskerville, Stanly, Furgerson. Murphy, Snipes, and Whedbee. The loss of Gibbs, Hoke, Devin and Biggs is somewhat set off by the good material that has appeared, but it is unfortunate for the team that such essential men did not re turn. We are weak behind the lines and Capt. Barnard shculd pay par ticular attention to developing backs. The number of new men who have entered this year is quite large and some. of them are doing good work, especially Thomas, Atkinson, Dockery, Burns, Steele, Martin and Hickerson. Theta Nu Epsilon, the famous Sophomore Society, placed a chapter here last summer. The young men who compose it are among the best in the University. The charter members are: Price, Graham, Rob ertson, Stronach, Myers, Steel, Borden, Turner and Pruden of '95 and Lee of 94. We gladly welcome them to the University and hope for them a prosperous year. The University Law School sent down the following men to the Su preme Court Thursday to stand examinations for licencse: William A. Devin, Thorwell Lanier, G. E; Buttler, William Hubbard, L. J Moore, J. S. B. Stevens, H. S. Ward, D. Li Rus sell, H. A. Foushee H. H. Coving ton, A. L. Brooks, J. Wi Fergerson, M. L. Hlocombe Alexander Las siter, J. A. Wellons, W. L. Baird, ail of North Carolina; J. B. Park inson of Florida; W. P. Blair of Pennsylvaina; and J. H. Martin of Washington, D. C. They all passed the examination. Thos. J. Pugh, A. B. '93 his ac cepted the instructorship in Latin and in addition to expounding the principles of the aforesaid classes will pursue the course for A. M. and, we hope, a like distinction in Football. Since the breaking up of the Manhattan . Athletic Club of. New York, and the bad condition of the New York Athletic club: the.Cres- ent club, has stepped to the front as the crack athletic club of the metropolis. They will put out a fine team this year, composed for the most part of old Yale, Harvard and Princeton players. The Gymnasium which has for so long a time been an eye Sore, to the University has at last through the kind ness and energy of Dr. R .II. Lewis of Ral eigh, been put in fine shape. The walls which have been bare for the last seven or eight years have been 'ceiled in beautifully polished hard wood. It is now one of the prettiest buildings in the state in the inte rior. The finishing touches having been made, it will not cause the expense to decorate it for commencement balls, as it has in the past. Everything necessary for a first clas9 Gymnasium has been pro vided and over one hundred lockers for the use of the students have been provided. The old false floor- which has been in use for years will be moved and the hard pol ished dancing floor.will be used in the gymnastic work. All HillTans, and especially the Foot Ballists. were delighted to have r c ' f with them recently, for a season, Capt. Hoke, Ph. B. '93. Every one has heard of the 92-3 campaign so skillfully led and directed by "Mike" who, with our best wishes and many regrets at parting, goes to the University of Va. to study med icine. W. P. Wooten, '93 has been ap pointed to the U. S. Military Acade my to fill the vacancy caused by the graduation of Geo. Howell. Wooten and Carr, 95, tied on the mental examination, both reaching 98 out of a possible hundred. Carr was appointed alternate. Wooten ' physical superiority, no doubt, was due to the fact that he was an ath lete as well as a student. OUR YOUNG ALUMNI. W. W McKenzie, 91 is located at Salisbury, N. C. where he en joys a lucrative medical practice. L. C. Morris, 91, is practicing medicine in Birmingham, Ala. We hear that he is resident physician for several rail-roads, that center in Birmingham. Walter Curtis, 89, has charge of one of the Methodist churches in Winston. .; Logan D. Howell, 89, is Superin tendent of the Goldsboro Graded Schools. H. B. Shaw, 90, for the past three years Instructor in Mathematics, has gone to Harvard to complete his course in Mathamatics. C, B. Aycock, 79, will very pro bably be appointed U. S. District Attorney 'for the eastern District of North' Carolina. A Freshman and a Sophomore team and we feel assured we can arrange a game between Trinity Freshmen and the University Fresh' men. All the Northern colleges have these contests and there is no reason why we shouldn't also have them. The first match game'will, prob ably, be played with Trinity, and in few weeks, We must work harder and get our team into condition. The new chapter house of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will be quite a pleasant home for the boys of the Maltese cross. n
