Owing to misarrangement of manuscript and several other mis takes,, the recent issue of this pa per failed to mention either Dr. Battle's lecture or that of Profes sor Alderman. We regret exceed ingly that such omission should have been made, and insert now; although late, an outline of each. WE NOTICE quite a scholarly and interesting article in the Char lotte Observer emanating from Professor Cobb, in which is dis cussed the old coast-line of North Carolina and several other marks of interest connected therewith. We would be glad to reprint it, but space forbids, and we may only remark further that it is such work as this that confounds those endeavoring to prove the Univer sity solely an athletic-nurturing institution. , , , IyOOK OUT for College Topics! Verily, another Jules Verne has come amongst the editorial staff and works wonders for the credu lous children of men. Perchance his name is Maberry. We should not be surprised were it one Hamp son Gary, whose speculative pro clivities we well knew erstwhile at Bingham School. If being a minister of God and an alumnus of U. Va. can substantiate so un limited a flight of imagination as that which followed the ethereal peregrinations of " ye haythen Chinee," a goodly number of us would do well to enlist as one of .the former and register at once in Charlottesville. Will those who are giving it out that they "wish to rebuild the literary societies " endeavor to have the societies send a repre sentative to the Southern Inter collegiate Oratorical Contest? This takes place May 26 at Se wanee, where the representative colleges and universities of the South will have delegates. We have suggested before in these columns that something be done in this line even in the State. Wake Forest writes to learn whether or not the University means to have such a contest amongst the State colleges. Now let those students who wish to re build the societies take the initia tive. The e-ood and best men of j the University will lend their aid ..willingly. WE are endeavoring to boom athletics. We suggest to the other weekly that they take up this. We will cheerfully lend what aid we may. Let's work together both for the University. The manager of the foot-ball team requests that all foot-ball suits be returned at once. On returning them, be sure that he knows it, that he may credit you with the return. Each man with a suit now is personally responsi ble for it. This course must be taken for economy's sake solely, and all should readily and cheer fully lend their aid by prompt attention to this request. There are five pictures of the Foot-ball Team of '93 on hand. They are in excellent condition. They will be sold at one dollar each. Call on the manager. Dialectic Hall, University of N. C. Whereas, the All-wise Father, in His inscrutable providence, has seen fit to remove from a life of unremitting and useful activity our honored fellow-member, Zeb ulon Baird Vance; and, Whereas, we feel that in his death the Nation has lost a valu able and trusted counsellor, the people of North Carolina a capa ble and trusted leader, the Uni versity a loyal son, and the Dia lectic Society a devoted and faith ful adherent; therefore, by the Society in meeting assembled, be it Resolved 1, That, being deeply sensible of our bereavement, we recognize in the career and achievements of this patriot states man an example worthy of emu lation. . 2. That, as a token of respect, the Dialectic Hall be draped in mourning for thirty days; that copies of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, to the University publications, to the State press, and that a copy be spread on the minutes of the Society. Holland M. Thompson, Thos. Bailey Lee, Ale. S. Bernard, Committee. April 17, 1894. SHAKESPEARE CLUB. Probably the . last meeting of the Club for the year was held last Tuesday night. The subject for the evening was "Hamlet." Dr. Hume introduced the play, with many applicable suggestions as to the sources of the plot and to the conceptions of different characters. He referred to and quoted from papers , by Messrs. Oldham, Petty, Smith, Gillespie, Hodgin and Van Noppen, bear ing upon the play and throwing much light upon disputed points, and offering, various theories re garding Hamlet's disposition. Mr. Herman Home read a very carefully prepared and thoughtful paper upon the "Objective and Subjective Influences of the Play, ' ' and was followed by Mr. T. B. Lee, who. gave some "Glimpses into Elizabethan Life," caught from' the study of the many allu sions and pictures presented in the great tragedy. Mr. Harding Law favored the Club with a discussion of Shake speare's knowledge of law, and cited the case wherein was de cided the forfeitures of suicides. Dr. Harding was in a happy humor, and his remarks were well received. After reading two gracefully written sonnets by Mr. L. C. Van Noppen, on Ophelia and Hamlet, respectively, Dr. Hume adjourned one of the pleasantest meetings the society has ever had. PttOF. ALDERMAN'S TALK BEFORE THE Y. M. C. A. The University Y. M. C. A. is very active and thoroughly alive to the best interests of the student body. It realizes that Sunday afternoon is a very idle time with the college boy and has made ar rangements to have short lectures or talks on each Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the chapel. Prof. E. A. Alderman began the series on last Sunday after noon by a talk on "The Ideal Man." His talk was some con clusions of his. own which he had reached upon the very grave mat ter of living. All of us are con scious of the seriousness of living, and all are interested in the sub ject. Right living is man's high est aim, and to this there is essen tial education, not the mere ac quirement of knowledge, but the education of the whole man. Each man is an author, and the book he is writing is the autobiography of his own soul, a work which cannot be suppressed nor become obsolete, but is eternal and endur ing. There are five factors which determine the character of this biography. First, Desire : A man's desire is dependent on his environment; and when the desire is given fulfillment it hardens into Acts; and acts, when long con tinued, form Habits; and habits shape character, and character moulds Destiny. These are three great factors in the education of man, which are, in the scale of their importance, the Home, the School, the Church. The home is the most important educational factor, because it guides the growth of the mind in, its most receptive period; the mother-teacher teaches the child purity, gentleness, vir tue, and refinement; the father teacher inculcates honesty, up rightness, courage, and strength. The school aids in the acquire ment of knowledge; and the key stone of the act is the church, which teaches " the knowledge of God, which is the beginning of wisdom. ' ' There is only one per fect model, Jesus Christ, the great teacher, whose few words are re corded for us in the pages of the gospel, but whose life and teach-! ing form the most perfect guide of life. We cannot predict the i hereafter, but he who would live I aright, who woukfattain to "ideal ; manhood," must follow the axam pie of the humble carpenter of I Nazareth. The talk was full of good thought well expressed, and could 1 not fail to interest and impress every listener. This is the first time Prof. Alderman has spoken to the whole body of the students, but we trust it may not be the last. The movement on the part of the Young Men's Christian As sociation is to be commended, and should be continued. Did You Say?
