U. N. C. THANKS FAIR WAV
ERS OF HER COLORS.
Although there ar many
things lacking in the general
physical make up of a 'Varsity
student, things, quotations etc
whose absence we greatly de
plore.'we claim that something
worthy of redemption still lives
in us, that is appreciation of and
gratitude for sympathy extended
us by our ladv friends. It was a
cheering, enthusing spectacle just
since, when in the very strong
hold of Trinity College, in the
face ol a chill v evening and under
neath the cloud of adverse cir
cumstances, which seemed to
hover on our gallant eleven, the
white and blue flung out by fairest
hands floated gracefully upon the
breeze and urged by its own lov-
liness and the thoughts and faces
suggested by it, determined pur
pose and greatest efforts. Had
the game depended on the loyal-
v and prayers of the 'Varsity's
bright eyed girls the result would
have been far different. This out
ward expression offeelingan dap-
preciation so daintily proffered by
ye 'f aire lay des' merits our warm
est affection and sincerest thanks.
file latter are no w bestowed, to
render the former, we only wait
or opportunity and while wait
ing, regardless of present ill fate
and our star crossed condition,
we voice the thoughtful, heart
felt wish of three hundred and
'eighty Hillians as we say "three
cheers for the girls of U. N. C.
"Three cheers, and three times
three."
SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
The South Building men have
cause for rejoicing. The old tin
roof which from a period of im.
memorial antiquity has, with
paintings and repairings, patch
ing and repa tching served as a
shelter for scores of refugees, is
now replaced by a new covering.
No longer shall the third floor
dweller be compiled to carpet his
water-holding utensil which he
may have or perchance borrow
from his friends. That day
past and we recognize that but
ior.the opportune appropriation
of a liberal and unprejudiced leg
islature we should have had dur
ing the coming winter the cheer
ful and exquisite experience ol
of studying the constellations
through observational apertures
overhead. And vet we receive

THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE,'
The scientific course is rapidlv
gainirg popularity among the
students. Not only at this Uni
versity but at other southern
institutions is growing steadily
into favor, For decades past the
prevailing idea hereabouts has
been that to be an A. B. is the one
thing needful and that the bearer
of any other degree received
it as alternate to leaving college
with no diploma. The classical
man has been held up as a prod
igy of sapicntal absorption and
dignified superioritj to the hum.
ble bohner in the Labratory:
This ought not so to be. To be
a scientist requires mental calibre
quite as vigorous and extensive
as does the searching out of a
Greek root or the determining
of au illicit turn in the syllogism.
And a practical scientist, one
who turns his theory into bread,
butter and a suit of clothes must
generally be enodwed with an
extraordinary amount of cere
bral tissue and exercise the
same incessantly. While there is
no tendency or intention to de
preciate the classics there is a
determination to break loose
from crustaceous ideas and recog
nize brain in the Laboratory and
in the Seminarium as equal and
meriting the same reward.
Were there more merits in the
south attending to polytechnic
lives capital, would increase and

I HE LECTURE SATURDAY
NIGHT.
The Hon. H. W. T. Ham, who
has so distinguished himself as
an orator and humorists in the
last two years, delivered in Ger
rard Hall his celebrated lecture
on the 'Snollygoster in Politics.'
In his own original way, he,
painted this corruptor of Ameri
can politics in the several phases
in which he is seen, illustrating
each phase by a striking anec
dote. .
His audience was repeatedly
convulsed with laughter and
quieted down only to be set going
again in another ontburst of ap
plause. Mr. Ham is an optimist and
believes our republic is entering
an era of grander and nobler
attainments. He reminds the
college students that the power
lies in their hands and in the
hands pf the coming generation
to make this country what she
can be, under the guiding hand
of "almighty God."
We are always glad to have
such lecturers, and hope to hear
more during the session.

Baskerville assures us of a good

time for the University to quit
its babyish fussing and to play

Only the best overtures of

happy occurence takes place.
