Meeting of the EHsha Mitchell Scientific Society. The Elisha Mitchell Society held its hrst monthly meeting tor year 1897 in the chemical lecture room Tuesday night at 7 o'clock. There was quite a large attendance, the medical class being present almost as a whole to hear the lecture of Dr. Whitehead, to whom they are particularly devoted. Dr. White head's talk was the first of the evening. Mis subject was iiemor agic Fever," sometimes called collo quially, "Yellow Fever". He stated that very little is known even of the nature of this disease, no medical work moreover refer ring to it, and that there is, there fore great controversy among men of the profession as to its treat ment. From a careful study of some cases which have come under his attention recently, Ir. White head has reached three very im portant conclusions with regard to the disease. They are: (l)That it is a form of malaria and its proper treatment is, therefore quinine tak- pii 1ivnndprmirnllvr ( 2) 1 hat It IS V i J " ' due to the astacbo autumni parasite as actually proved by him in the laboratory; and (3) That the color of the skin is not due to jaundice as has been supposed, but to the ex cess of blood pigment from the red corpuscles destroyed by the para site. Dr. Whiteneaa explained m a verv interesting manner the na tii rp and sourse of malarial tevers and the action of the various para sites. The next talk was by Dr. Ven- nhlp on "Notes on borne Kecent Work." The first was the Phos phorescence of the t ire-ny. rie stated one or two ot the old theories: That of actual phosphorescence; and that of rapid oxidation. It is now known, he says, to be a kind ot fermentation. He also spoke of some recent experiments on the dif fusion of solids by which it was clearly shown that the phenomenon takes place at ordinary . tempera tures. There was considerable discus sion of both lectures by members of the society, and Dr. Battle scored a joke on the parasites. Prof. Gore announced that he was in' a fair way towards " securing an X-ray apparatus of the most recent and improved model, fit not only for physical experimentation but for practical service in the medical de partment as well. The meeting was thoroughly en tertaining as well as instructive. New Managers C. R. Dev has Mr. C. R. Dey has resigned as Manager of the Base Ball nine and Mr. W. S. Howard has been elected by the Advisory Committee to fill his place. Mr. E. J. Nelson is the Assistant Manager. At the same meeting Mr. Warren Kluttz was elected Manager of the Foot Ball team for next fall. These are good selections indeed and we are willing to commit our athletic interest to them. " :vV ; Mass Meeting. A mass meeting of the students will be held in the Chapel this af ternoon at three o'clock. The ob ject of this meeting, so far as we can learn, is to boom baseball, and start the season aright by arousing some good, healthy baseball enthusiasm; And why should enthusiasm be wanting? Certainly, the prospect is bright and a winning team seems certain. With Pat. Stanley to Cap tain the men all our difficulties will gradually fade away, and all things will be possible. The material is o-ood and the best schedule that we have had for years has been arran ged by Manager Dey. Everything is auspicious. The moon indicates fair weather and our rabbit's foot foretells good luck; but1 thus far and no-farther can the team ad vance without the hearty and sub stantial backing of every man in the University. We must all contribute towards paying the expenses of the team, and the Tar HEElv has no sort of sympathy with the . man, who re fuses to even deny himself some lit tle luxury in order to make a good, round athletic subscription. It is our team, the schedule offers the best opportunities for gaining fame and reputation, and it is our imperative duty to" assist in enabling them to take advantage of those opportuni ties. Attend the, mass meeting, subscribe to the team and when the season is over, we will be proud of our team and of the assistance we rendered. The New Hours. As far as the Tar Heel has been able to learn the new hours have caused an almost univer sal dissatisfaction. Diligent en quiry among the students has pro duced only one man in favor of the new system. That the new system was designed as a kindness to the student body we do not doubt, but that it is proving an unkinaness is equally certain. ' .t Men who are here for work are ready for that work at 8:30, those who are not here for work, should re consideration. The chief ob jection, however.is the lateness of the dinner hour. According to the new arrangement the majority of the cndpnts cref. their dinner at 2:30 O Liivxvxx - with supper following at 6:00, it-ino- onlv three and one half J . hours between meals. "tfnthprmore. with a late dinner the laboratory engages many men all the afternoon, depriving them r,f ov rpr.reation. whatever. We Ul J . believe the authorities" desire to ac cede to the wishes of the students in this matter, and we firmly be lieve the old hours will be substi ntpd wlipn it is known that the new ones meet with disapproval. The American School of Classic Studies has been established at Resides the course offered practical work on the manu scripts will be done and original in vestigation made. Tour of Musical Clubs- A Successful Trip Through Caro- 1 lia and Virginia. KJttd Treatment of Alumni. , During the whole of last week our musical clubs were travelling in Eastern North Carolina and Vir ginia. , iThe opening performance was given in Metropolitan Opera House, Raleigh, and proved a success in every way. The thanks of the clubs are due to the Capitol Club for a delightful german given in their honor, and also to the several people who entertained the different boys and added generally to the enjoyment of their stay in Raleigh. Among these are Col.- and Mrs. Thos. S. Kenan, Mr. and' Mrs. F. H. Busbee, and Dr. and Mrs. McKee. Next, on January 5th, came Hen derson. The clubs' did not stay here long, but left at two o'clock in the morning for Weldon wiiere they spent the rest of the night, waiting for the next train to Tar- boro. On Wednesday night was the Tarboro concert, which" was wit nessed by a larger crowd than any other during the week. The clubs have never received nicer treatment than in Tarboro, and all the mem bers wish to express their apprecia tion to the alumni there, who not only gave us a delightful time, but "footed" all the bills incident to the performance. Mr. Henry Gil liam, especially, exerted himself to make our stay as enjoyable and as lucrative as possible. The individual members, as .well as the clubs .in general, scored sev eral "hits" in Tarboro, and "the good JooKing nrst Dass vnusc name no one could pronounce) head ed the list. Should any one feel further interest in the Glee Club's doings in that city, they would do well to consult the above men tioned first bass, who can quickly put them on the ropes and give them all the advice necessary. After leaving Tarboro the boys sang for two nights on Virginia soil. First they were at the Y. M. C. A. in Norfolk, and although the clubs did not draw as large a crowd as was expected, they performed be fore quite an appreciative audience and made a , reputation which will probably bring in a big house on their next visit to that city. The management of the clubs desires to express thanks to' Messrs. F. B..Dancey,'81, and T. W. Battle, '82, for their assistance about ar ranging and carrying out the con cert in Norfolk. Next, on January 8th, the clubs reached Suffolk and spent a most enjoyable day, owing to the. atten tions and courtesy of the young men of that city. At night a german was given in honor, of the Carolin ians, by whom it was most thoroughly Continued to fourth' page.
