II LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Victor Boyden ran over to Dur ham "Wednesday. Born to the wife of Dr. H. V. Wilson a daughter. Mr. T. J. Wilson ('94) is out again after his recent illness. Mr. C. F. Harvey ('92) of Kins ton, was in Chapel Hill last Satur day. , The mother of Gerrard Wittson, of Charlotte, arrived on the Hill last Monday. Mr. Herman Hornthal ('97) was called home last Saturday by the sad news of his mother's death. Mr. Iy. S. Alderman, of Greens boro, has been on the Hill for a couple of days taking group photos. Mr. E. IV Carr spent Friday and Saturday of last week in Dur ham, his home, recuperating after the examinations. Several of the boys have been phrenologized by the cranium doctor in town. Perhaps some of them have now realized how just have been the opinions concerning them. Mr. W. H. Riddick, agent for T. J. Lambe of Durham. Mr. J. C. Tate, of Long, Tate & Johnson of Charlotte, and Mr. Frank M. Lampkin, agent for Whiting Bros, of Raleigh, displayed thir stocks of furnishing goods at Roberson's Hotel on the 20th and 21st. Mr. Luther Bennett, of Char lotte, is now coaching the team. He has had much experience, hav ing caught on the Charlotte, Co lumbia, and Winston teams, and under his careful instruction the players are showing improvement. They move about with more life, putting spirit and dash into the plays. The batting and base running, which is weak, has re ceived special attention, and it is encouraging to hear the spirited coaching of base-runners, which was so deficient last season, and to which our defeat by Virginia may be partly due. Thursday quite a bevy of col legians took the train for Greens boro to attend the game between Yale and U. N. C. Much enthu siasm was manifested by all on their departure. This partly arose from good hope in the team, and from an anticipation of what was to come at the hands of the maid ens of the Greensboro schools. We understood they received an elegant reception at G. F. C, and one no less whole-souled at the Normal and Industrial. Univer sity boys would have expected nothing less from our sister col lege. So long as Chas. Mclver stands at the helm, all Chapel Hillians will be welcomed, and, as ever in the past, enjoy themselves. ALUMNI NOTES.

The smallest university in the world is in Africa with five stu dents and twelve instructors. t The New York World is pub lishing a series of articles on the leading colleges in this country. The University of Missouri has received $1,525,000 from the State Legislature since 1891. Oxford consists of twenty-two colleges, and has 12,000 students, including graduates and under graduates. Ohio has thirty-six colleges and universities; Illinois comes next with twenty-eight, while Missouri is a close third with her twenty- seven. Massachusetts has nine. Absences are not reported at the University of Chicago until the end of the year. A student having more than thirty is requir ed to take an extra course for the next year. ( The University of Pennsylvania has a new field which will be ready for use by next fall, It is valued at $ 100,000, and is the gift of the Trustees to the Ath letic Association. Handsome Dan, the Yale mas cot, again won the $100 cup which was offered by the American Field Club for the best bulldog in Amer ica. He now owns the cup, hav ing won it a sufficient number of years. Professor Munsterburg, com paring American characteristics with those of foreign countries in an article in the Harvard Crim son, says: "Confidence in one another, politeness and honesty even in small matters, and among the very poorest classes of people, and that patriotism for our he roes which keeps them constantly before our minds, are the charac teristics which most forcibly strike a foreigner on first entering our country. Nowhere in Europe is the position of woman' in society and man's relation to her so high and so refined as in our own coun try. In oratorical art we are here superior to anything of the sort to be found abroad. Every speak er works over and decorates his speech as a painter does a picture. With this truth to aid its youth ful purity and strength, America bids fair to become the support of a new and higher civilization. Cardinal. A. A.
