EDITORIALS.
Iith this issue closes Yolume
" Two " of The Tar Heel. The
work this year has been hard, much
harder than many would suppose;
but the editors will feel fully re
compensed for their time and
trouble if those who have so stead
ily stood by them will accredit to
the paper a conscientious and earn
est management. It has been our
sole object to further the athletic
and other general interests of the
University. If we have failed, it
has not been the result of inaction
or lack of endeavor on our part.
We can only bid you a kind adieu
and wish our- successors a friend
lier and more material support
than has been extended us.
The Vermont University Cynic,
speaking of the Southern ball trip,
says : " We were mauled, bruised
and robbed," and otherwise ex
plains the several defeats suffered
at the hands of Southern teams.
The Cynic should, at least, for the
sake of fairness, specify what in
stitutions are responsible for such
unprincipled procedure ; for the
generalization as it is, whether in
tentionally or not, is inexcusably
and absolutely false. This Uni
versity was represented in the field
this season by a team who have
everywhere and at all times re
ceived characterization none other
than that of gentlemen, and that
team lost to and won from Ver
mont recently a game of ball.
Why Vermont should seek to jus
tify ill fortune or inability to win
games by such declarations . as
" aforementioned, cannot be under
stood by the "men of this Institu
tion, and they would refer the
Cynic to the accounts of last
season's games as set forth in the
Cynic of 1893, and to the testi
mony of the men from Lehigh and
Laf attey whoyaithough suffering
defeat at our hands, the first twice
and the last once, like men recog
nized men, and from their own
homes sent back to the Tar Heel
boys graceful and appreciative re
membrances. ,
Our base-ball season is over.
The results, while not overwhelm
ingly successful, have been very
gratifying. Ten out of fourteen
games have been won ; one lost to
Yale, and three ties with Vermont,
Lafayette and Virginia. When
we consider that the teams we have
played have been among the
strongest in the country, and that
we, with the exception of Yale,
have broken even with the others
to whom we lost, there is much
cause for encouragement. We
have had a team to be proud of,
and we are proud of it. Next year
many of them will return, and
North Carolina will spare no pains
to give' them opportunity and
means for bettering even their
present record. No team will ever
go out from here to win unless the
student body are the backers, and
show more spirit and appreciation
than was shown on last Thursday
when the boys returned tired and
worn out with a hard and hotly
contested series of games away
from home.
The Magazine has appeared. It
is a good double number and re
flects much credit upon the man
agement. Dr. Battle's article on
" The University of 1844 " is an
exceedingly entertaining and en
joyable article. It is a treat to
catch glimpses of the old en time
balls with their fair women and
gallant beaux; to understand that
college boys a half century ago
had niany of our o wn customs and
were hauled up before the Faculty
for the observing of the same.
Would that we had been there in
the carriage mishap on the Raleigh
road. Holland Thompson gives an
accurate and interesting account of
the life of the Magazine in its
"ups and downs" for fifty years.
The article is illustrated with the
covers of the different issues since
its establishment, and is very well
written. Perrjn Busbee writes an
interesting article on 102 West
Hargett Street," wherein he de
scribes the life and habits of the
poet Gaston, and under what cir
cumstances and how he wrote
Carolina, the household song of
bur commonwealth. A charac
terization o f the .University of
1894 is given by President Wins
ton, which all should read and
ponder over. By letters contrib
uted by Dr. Stephen B. Weeks, we
a,ra informed that students erst
while wrote lengthy and numer
ous calls for ;i brownies " which
were not forthcoming, and that
there was in that far-removed
period the characteristic "kicking
against the Faculty," which we
occasionally observe to-day. With
poems by Van Noppen, Bingham,
Home, Lee, T., and Mr. Stockard,
-the contributed element is con
cluded. The other work is neatly
and carefully done; for the typo
graphical work wo have no criti
cism. It is as good as could bo
wished, and the illustrations, as a
whole, are a success.
The llcttenian, published b y
E. A. Wright, has come. It is by
far the best ever gotten out here,
and is superior to many annuals
published ; by stronger and abler
institutions. The board of editors
deserve much credit for the excel
lent book they have given us, and
we trust all .will aid them fi nan
cially by buying a copy as soon as
possible. Alumni and others de
siring a copy can secure the same
by sending $1.50 to Mr. Harry
Howell, University, N. C.
The gymnasium is now in good
trim for the Commencement
datfees. A coat of paint has ren
dered other decoration unneces
sary. With blue and gold trim
mings the white background under
lamplight will sufficiently set off
that array of loveliness which is ex
pected to be in our midst. A large
Commencement is anticipated, and
arrangements are now being made
to entertain all as pleasantly as
possible. To those of past days it
may be of some interest to know
that the Alumni Banquet, which
for the past two years has been,
neglected, has been revived, and
will be given in the old Y. M. C. A.
rooms in South building.
Vandkrihlt was defeated by the
University of Alabama by a score
of 21 3. Remembering the for
mer score of 15 -1 in Vanderbilt's
favor, we were very much sur
prised at the result of the other
game. But on looking into the
account of the game we saw the
trouble was what would bo called
hard luck. Four players could not
leave the University. Taylor,Van
derbilt's short-stop, was hit by a
ball on the arm, which rendered it
useless. Tie then went to first. Hunt
had a crippled foot ; but after Fall,
the second pitcher, became so weak
on account of sickness that ho could
not stand, he was compelled to take
his old place and pitch on one foot.
We can truly sympathize with
them in their misf ortunes ; f or no
team was ever more troubled by a
"series of coinciding circumstan
ces ,r than" bur football last fall.
We hope their players may quickly
recover, in order that they may
put their strongest team in the
field against Sewaneo, and we feel
sure it will bo a close and well
played game. '
