The famous leather suits of the Harvard team cost $75.00 each and the total bill for them was over $1,600 and caused a good deal of friction between the man ager and captain. This bill was finally settled by a graduate. Pensylvania has notified the Bos ton maker that her team will use leather suits next year but in a less expensive form, to cost about $35.00 each: The jacket is to be of canvzos or moleskin and the pants of "very light, flexible leather well stuffed. These have the advantage of remaining com paratively dry -on a rainy day and so not imparing the wearer's mo tions. They also offer very little for the opposing side to grasp in tackling. Butterworth says he can dive through them better than he could through the old canvass suits. . U. N.' C. has not ordered a set of them. She will wait for fur ther developments concerning them and the passage of the Wil son bill, also the reconciliation of Gruver C. and David, B. Besides come to think of it we got tan ned enough last fall withoutbor rowing the tanned cuticle of any other animals. It might also be remarked about the Harvard team that they and their suits were both well tanned. Perhaps there is no department in the University of more import ance than the libray, and, surely no department has advanced more rapidly 1 or attained a higher de gree of usefulness in the past few years, than has this. We may well feel proud of the position which the library occupies in our University. ; ' v' . Yet we feel called uporr to ex press a feeling of regret that such a large proportion of the students seem to have lost the old time idea that of all places in the Uni versity, perfect, quiet and orderly conduct should be observed in the library. At present, it seems that inany consider the library to be the loaf er's evening rendezvous, where the unemployed students may as semble to indulge in jokes and loud, and often boisterous, con versation. The library is properly a place of research and original work, of ten requiring a close application of mind . and attention, ' hence should be as quiet and orderly as possible, without noise or disturb ance of any kind. It is almost impossible for the librarian to maintain order without the proper feeling and thoughtfulness on the part of students. We are glad to learn that dur ing the past year, the library has been used by a larger per cent, of students than ever before, and we trnst that in the future, each member of the University on en tering the reading room or the li brary, will be thoughtful and con siderate of this matter. The candidates for the base ball team have gone to the train ing table. The arrangements for this table are different this year from any before, and so far have proved quite satisfactory. On March 1st, the candidates will be thinned out, and only the most promising will continue at the table. Altogether the training this year has been more faithful and thorough than ever before. The gymnasium work has been hard and long and the captain reports the men in excellent physical con dition. As to out door work, the bat ting is improving steadily. We will have the strongest batting team that has ever represented the University. The captai n has watched over the fielding and throwing very carefully,, so that there is not a sore arm in the crowd. The Crimson White is the name of the new University of Ala., weekly and Lehigh has her Brown and White whicfy comes out twice a week now, to be made a daily later if it receives the prop er support. All communications for the Tar HEEL must be sent in to the Editor-in-chief by. 4. o'clock each Monday afternoon before the week's issue. RADICAL CHANGES IN THE UNIVERSITY CURRI CULUM. At a meeting of the Faculty the following important changes in the regular courses of study were inaugurated: 1 st. Junior Physics required in all courses except in the Literary course. 2d. Junior English elective in Scientific course. 3d. Biology, Chemistry an d Geology inter-elective in all courses except Scien ' tine. 4U1, Geology or Biology sub stituted in place of His tory in Scientific course. 5th, Freshman year in Classi cal or Philosophical courses may be substituted for Freshman year in Lit erary course. 6th, Physiology required in all courses. 7 th All Senior studies made - ' elective in each course. No elementary study al lowed as elective in Senior year. We are glad to note the change in regard to the Senior year. This is indeed an important step forward. By making all students in the Senior year elective, a two-fold advantage is derived. First: It makes the Senior year almost equal to a Post-graduate year, provided the student pursues his special line of study during his Junior year. Second: Addi tional advantages are offered to graduates of other . institutions, by giving them an opportunity to pursue special lines of study dur ing their year of graduation at the University. This change is one that adds much to the course of special study in all departments, and meets the universal approval of all progressive students. , " Y.
