Entered at. the Post Office in Chapel Hill, N, C. as
second-class mail matter.
There has lately been manifested
here a desire on; the part of some of
the students to have the Monday reci
tations changed to Saturday, making
Monday the regular holiday, and some
of the classes have held meetings for a
discussion of the question.,
In all these meetings we are glad
for several reasons, to see that the
general sentiment has been in favor
of the old order of things.
The main, and from our point of
view almost only argument advanced
in favor of the change is that it would
v reduce the tendency on the part of the
students to study on Sunday. If this
were true we should censider it an ar
gument worthy of consideration but we
do not believe that it wonld eliminate
t or even materially reduce this tendency-
"';'VV'-'
In either case there would be two
days in which recitations might be
prepared at present they are Satur
day and Sunday, after the change they
would be bundayand Monday, and i
anyone wished to study on Sunday
in order to have another whole day
tor some other purpose would continue
to do so. - . . . . . ;.. , . ,; - .
The arguments against are many
and we shall mention a few of them
briefly. In the firt place it would de
teat the object for which the time o
.11- 1!i .
uae literary society meetings was
changed, namely to give those inter
esieu in xne ae Dates a day to prepare
tor them. Secondly, at present Fri
day night froms anatnral time for lec
tures and all kinds of entertainments.
If the students had to go on recita
tions early Saturday morning many
would not attend the Friday nig-ht lec
tures. The lectures could not be on
Sunday night and Monday would be as
bad as any other day, while on Satur
day night they would conflict with the
literary societies.
Again, our base Dall schedule has
been mostly arranged, nearly all the
games being on Saturday, so the team
might leave Friday afternoon and re
turn without missing any recitations
These are but a few of the many ob
jections and we hope, for the best in
terests of all concerned the question of
changing will not be further agitated
The Philanthropic literary society
has made its meetings open to the
public. This is-a great change
from the' order of thing's that we re
member four years ago, whenvthe
meetings were conducted in secrecy
not even the officers of the society
being, known to those outside, and
it will be watched with interest,
especially by, the alumni who were
brought up- under the old regime? ?
We had the pleasure of attending
the first public meeting and wit
nessing the proceedings of the eve
ning. ; Very few visitors were pres
ent due probably to the fact of1 its
not being generally known..that the j
meetings would be public, ''rather
than a lack ot interest in the literary
work of the society. ;' - V
Froxn a literirpciipt of view the
exercises were not what. we had
hoped to find. Some of the speeches
showed some care in the prepara
tion of their subject matter'" and
manner of delivery but there were
others that would have added tow
ers of strength to their side of the
debate by remaining undelivered.
The change is an experiment an'd
it is too early yet to predict wheth
er or not it is to be a success but if
it does succeed in improving jhe
character of the literary work -4he
society is to be con gratulated on its
action. ,

There are 2,416 students at Yale
this year.
There are now 2,632 students at
the University of Penn.
The new Harvard catalogue shows
an enrollment of 3,600 students.
Several students have requested that
it be announced through the columns
of the tar heel that there, is among
the student body a desie to hear Dr.
Winston'sg address entitled, - Ancient
and Modern Rome".
Those of us who had the pleasure of
hearing this address in '92 would be
delighted to know that it is to be deli
vered again. Those who have enter
ed the University since this time have
never heard it at all and would be
pleased if he would deliver it again.
It is our wish that Dr. Winston give
thi s matter his attention and if his
business will permit, that he deliver
thisaddress at some time convenient
for him. ' v

regular lectures from the Faculty.
This custom has been abandoned,

Zoology teaches that the hairs of the head
are hollow, and contain an oil that gives
them life. In clipping- the hair with scis

loses its life-giving- properties.
