A DRAWN BATTLE.
Dr. Smith's Sermon.
The regular monthly sermon for
the Y. M. C. Ai was preached on
Sunday night by Dr. Egbert Smith
of the first Presbyterian church of
OUTWEIGHED FIFTEEN Greensboro. His text was 1 Cor

The subject of his sermon was

Inter-Society Debate.

ranged by the two Societies will
occur November 20th in the Dialec

ble question has been decided upon:

American life as seen in the forma

parties, and ecclesiastical govern

All these improvements are decided
ly helpful to the University, to the cit
izens of Chapel Hill, and to the
strangers who visit us. We have just
learned that before long,, the Chapel
Hill Station is to be "refitted with a
more convenient waiting-room and
ticket-office. ' The lumber for this
purpose is already on hand.
It gives us pleasure to express our
appreciation of these efforts on the
part of the Southern Railroad, and we
should omit an important item, if we
failed to say that all the officials of
our road add to the pleasure and com
fort of the passengers, by their uni
form courtesy and their obliging
spirit. v
; Chapel Hill is a delightful place to
all who come to it. As the seat of the
State University, it attracts many peo
ple, sometimes very distinguished peo
ple, and its healthy climate makes it
almost a resort both in Summer and
Winter. The improvement of the rail
road service will therefore benefit the
town.
At a recent meeting of the facul
ty of Cornell University, the degree
of Bachelor of Science in Architec
ture was abolished and the degree
of Bachelor of Architecture was
adopted instead. It is believed that
Cornell is the first college to confer
this degree,
Dr. Hume Lectures to the Phi Soci
ety. The Phi Society invited Dr. Hume
to address them on last Saturday
and was regaled with a delightful
lecture on Oliver Wendell Homes.
He spoke in his usual charming
manner, and afforded both pleasure
and improvement to all the members
present.
The idea of getting various mem
bers of the faculty to lecture the
Society was generated a few weeks
ago, and brings to the Hall quite a
number of men who would other
wise stay away. It is a good thing
and the Society will probably re
quest several other honorary mem
bers to make short talks during the
session.
On the whole the literary work
of the Phi has shown a most mark
ed improvement during he present
term. ; Interest in debates and other
exercises has increased enormously,
and the Society is at present more
successful and flourishing than it
has been for years. ;
Philological Meeting.
Professor Harrington, President
of the Philological Club, called the
meeting to order ' promptly at 7:30 j
Tuesday night with a fair attend- i
ance. ; .
Dr. Ivinscott presented the first
paper of the evening. In his dis
cussion of the Latin -stems of the
reduced nominative he opposed the
commonly accepted theory of syn
copation, and contended that the
forms may be, in some cases, the re
sult of parallel formation in the In-
do-European language, the word
having existed in both the i- and con
sonant declensions and being pre
served only in the latter form, but,
in most cases, the peculiarity must
be a further extension of the process
of metaplasm which has united the
and consonant stems. His paper
was clear, precise and in every way
scholarly, seeming to carry convic
tion with it.
Mr. Horney '97 then read his pa
per on the Primitive Kpic. Mr.
Horney 's special studies in English
and Anglo-Saxon enabled him to
bring together some fine material
for the discussion. Dr. Linscott,
commenting on Mr. Horney 's pa
per, said that there was among
the lithuaniads a great deal of this
epic material still in existence, that
people being, in a sense, three thous
and years behind the age.
Mr. Samuel May, in his paper on
Adam Bede,"' clearly proved the
plot of secondary importance. . The
true purpbse of, the book being the
portrayal of ..English country life,
the plot is only to give ligat ana
shade to the picture. -
Prof. Harrington showed good
reasons for supposing the birth-year
of Tibullus to be 48 B. C. instead
of at some time during the period
54-59 as is sometimes supposed.
Placing Tibullus' birth at 48 B. C.
accounts much more satisfactorily
for all the known events of his life.
The last subiect was "The Lib
erty Idea in Die Rauber," which
was treated by Prof. Toy in his us
ual careful and interesting manner,
being especially enjoyed by the ad
vanced German class, who have this
play as a subject for the fall examinations,
