Entered at the Post Office in Chapet Hill, X. C. as second-class mail matter. Year by year we see the field of work at the University widening and new departments being- added, but there is one which has not been added, to the want of which is due, what we have on several occasions heard spoken of, as the characteris tic defect of the work of the Uni versity and this is a department of elocution and expression. Often very excellent work is done for the Shakspere Club the effect of which is lost upon the audience by the way in which the paper is read. The same defect is seen even in the way men answer on class, they do not know how to tell what they really know. We do not mean that this should be in any way construed as a reflec ti o n upon our department of English, far from it. The very efficient head of that de partment does all he can in this di rection, but he already has much more to do than ought to be expect ed of one man and he certainly could not be expected to assume a new department for which the Universi ty makes no provision. We certain ly hope the time may soon come when such provision may be made. Last week we published an ar ticle by the Editor-in-chief of the University Magazine on the admis ability of continuing- its publication. We sincerely hope for several rea sons that the Magazine will be dis continued in preferance to continuing- it in its present form. It has never been what a college magazine ought to be, practically none of the articles have been under graduate work, they have been written by alumni and almost ex clusively on historical subjects. We do not mean that these have no val ue; they have, and have been eager ly sought for bv libraries and his toical societies all over the country; we do say, however, that a Univer ty mag-azine, pubished by the stu dents ought to represent student work, and ours certainly does not. . If it were published by a N. C. Historical Society we should con gratulate the society on its work but we do not think it is the pro vince of its present editors to pub lish such a magazine. The editors say every effort has been made to encourage undergraduates to con tribute ' articles for publication, prizes have been offered but in vain. If this be true then we would say let the Magazine go not because it is not a good thing- but because it is ag-ood thing-in the wrong-place. The 'Varsity Football team were the recipients of many kindnesseson there Southern trip. Some of these came from those living- in the State now, for the most part from those who had left the State carrying- with them a deep regard for everything connected with North Carolina. Miss Green of Sewanee, a daugh ter of an old University Professor, is the chief figure among- those who added to the pleasure of our trip. And every member of the team thanks her most heartily for her kindness. Please pay up your subscription; our business manager is in need of money. In the editorial columns of the American University Magazine we find the following statement: "The Eastern colleg-es are follow ing the West in the matter of inter collegiate debates. The annual debates between Yale and Harvard and Princet6n, have already been arranged for, and a movement is begun for forming a New England Intercollegiate Union, in which, it is hoped, most of the New England college will partici pate." We quote this because we believe it contains a solution to what is, with us and manv other Southern col leges, a very vital question. In a large majority of the college papers we receive and more especial ly those of the South we find arti cles lamenting- the want of interest in the work of the literary societies. The same thing is true here and to such an extent that the very ex istance of the societies seems threat ened. There must be some natural cause for this, and some predjud iced minds have suggested athletics but this is obviously wrong for it is in the very centres of athletic activity, like Yale, Harvard and Princeton where the debating society is the most flourish ing and most respected. If we might venture a suggestion we would say that it is due most largely, almost entirely, to the lack of intercol legiate society work. To draw aparalell from athletics who ever heard of a college, where inter collegiate contests were not allowed, ever doing anything in athletics? Stop the match game at any place and athletics die so dead you would never suspect that they hud ever been there; then remove the restrict ion, arrange a schedule of games and you will have fifty men trying for i the 'Varsity in less than a week. This ; is no supposition it has been tried j and is the result of experience. Why is not the same true of a debate that is of a football game? We believe it is, and that the foundation of a Southern Intercollegiate Union, sim ilar to the New England Union above referred to, would in time 'create an interest in literary work which would approach the present interest in athletics. We would be glad if other South ern institutions would consider this matter and, if it is a good thing, j help push it along. We have lately noticed that in the Reading- room the students and others seem to t!nnk that, no mat ter who is readbr a paper, they are at liberty to lean over him and peruse any item ot news which they may wish to. In fact, vou often see several piled up over one paper with the man, who was orignaliy reading, supporting about half the weight of the entire crowd, and not onlv this but often being compelled to suffer from ordors which are not pleasant to sav the least. We think it would be pleasenter and more polite to wait until the gentleman has nnish ed and then take. your turn. And we hope that the student body in general will carry out this sugg-es txon. Intercollegiate items, Etc. Virginia plays Vanderbilt at Atlanta on the sixteenth. Dartmouth is the latest addition to the list of coeducational colleg-es. Lehig-h will play her Thanksgiving" grume with the Baltimore Athletic Club at Baltimore. The Yale and Princeton Gymnastic Association are to give a joint exhib ition sometime during- the winter. The work on the University of Vir ginia Rotunda has begun and it will be rebuilt on the original plan of JelTersou. The annex will not be re built. In the recent games between the New York and London Athletic Clubs, nine out of the eighteen mem bers of the New York club and ten of the sixteen members of the Lon don club were college men. The October number of the Amer ican University Magazine contains an interesting- artical on The Ameri can Chemical Society by Dr. Bask erville. The University of Virginia defeated the mutes from Gallaudet last week by a score of 16 to 6. The game was an exciting one from start to finish. The Gallaudet team scored the first touchdown and the score stood 6 to 6 at the end of the first half. In the second half U. Va. braced up and scored two touchdowns. Jones failed to kick the last goal making the final score 16 to 6. Lafayette defeated Lehigh on Saturday by a score of 22 to 12. This was the first time the Le high team had been beaten on their own grounds by their Lafayette ri vals in eight years. The Lefayette team was consider ably the heavier and made most of their gains by rushes through Le high's center.

We learn from it that Au-: burn has already arranged games with Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Geor-j gia. Their team is coached by Mr.-! J. W. Heisman. ' Winston-Salem vs. Fusionists. Saturday afternoon while the team was in Lynchburg one of the closest and most exciting games of the season was played on the Athletic Park, be tween the Winston-Salem boys and an impromptu team organized by "Capt. Fwank." The "rooters" were about evenly di vided and excitement waxed intense along the side lines. After two twenty-minutes halves the score stood 6 to 0 in favor of Winston-Salem. An other game will probably be played sometime soon.
