Why is it that some students will
always persist in watching base
ball games -from the neighboring
roofs? Do you, who are addicted
to perching" yourselves upon the
Physics Laboratory on the occasion
of every game, consider this a very
honest performance? Surely no one
else does, and, if you have not self
respect enough to stop it, 7ou ought
to at least have sense enough to
know that the rest, of college looks
upon it as disgraceful in every re-i
spect. We are ashamed to let visi
ting1 teams note the existence of
such an element in our midst and
to have them see how our building's
take on the semblance of buzzard!
roosts on the afternoon of everr ball
game. When a student is guilty of!
such action he puts himself on the
level of the negroes and toughs who
line the park fence, besides reflect
ing discredit upon the University.
But we don't suppose that any
sound reasoning will appeal to these
"roofers." It is a pity that some
force cannot be found, which would
hide such individuals from the pub
lic view and not allow them to par-J
ade roofwards whenever we have
visitors on the athletic field.
"An Opal."
VERSES BY EDNA PROCTOR CLARKE.
This daintiest book of several sea
sons, just from the. Press of Lamson,
Wolfe & Co., Boston, is for sale by
Messrs. A. Williams & Co., Raleigh.
Of the twenty short poems which go
to make it up, the longest is a true
Chapel Hill love story whose hero is
welf known to many of our readers.
Miss Clarke's work needs no introduc
tion here. It has appeared in the At
lantic, the. Century, Harper'' s and other
magazines, besides our own Magazine
of tender memories. We think it was
"The Mocking Bird," (printed in "An
Opal" by permission xf the Century
Co.) of which JMr, E. C. Stedman said,
"I should like to' have written it my
self." We can add nothing except to
say that in our humble opinion "there
are others" between these small covers
equally as good. :;. ;
Miss Clarke herself is delightfully
remembered , in University circles as
having spent two successive winters at
Mrs. Graves'. .
Alabama Letter.
Since last communicating with
her sister colleges of the South
through the medium of the inter
collegiate correspondence, some in
teresting things have happened to
the University of Alabama.
The most important is that the
recent .state legislature increased
the annual appropriation for the
University by ten thousand dollars
per annum for the next two colle
giate years. This gives her $34,-
001 for the next two years instead
of the former $24,000 per annum,
A depleted state Treasury was all
1 that prevented a bill appropriating
; $00,000 a year from becoming a law.
: The more than three thousand alum-
t the State will do all
V I I V ll M J V " "
jin their power to see that the next
; general assembly makes a liberal
' appropriation to their alma mater,
j The State will probably acknowl
edge its two million dollar indebted
jness to the University and agree to
! pav a reasonable rate ot interest on
the same when the next legislature
convenes. As soon as this is done
the University of Alabama will
forge to the front faster than ever.
The $10,000- appropriation is rather
a small one, but it is not to be scoff
ed at during the present financial
stress. " Among other improvements
to be made with i, a school of Bi
ology will be established next sea
son. The Board of Trustees in re
cent session has ordained that the
law course here shall embrace two
full years instead of one year as for
merly. This, will make the work
in that department even more thor
ough and satisfactory than it is
now. '.'
An oratorical epidemic seems to
have seized upon all the Southern
colleges. All our x exchanges are
full of accounts of oratorical con
tests, inter-collegiate and otherwise
and more interest, it seems, is be
ing manifested in literary societies
at all Southern colleges than usual.
Alabama's literary society is in bet
ter condition than it has been for
years. Alabama has just joined
the G. S. I. O. A., and was ably
represented in the recent contest at
New Orleans by Mr. R. H. Powell.
Alabama will also participate in a
state inter-collegiate debate in which
the four leading colleges of this
state will be represented. It is an
annual affair and takes place June
30th during the session of the Ala
bama Chatauqua.
Our nnd-vear examinations began
the 8th and -will last till the 22nd.
Our gymnasium team was prevented
from giving their exhibition the
the night of the 2nd by a terrible
storm. It will exhibit in the opera
house soon after the examinations.
It is perhaps the best trained team
that we have ever had. The exhi
bition will close with a farce, "Un
der Protect," by the Alabama Dra
matic Club aided by the 'Glee Club.
Our baseball team promises1 to
eclipse our former nines. Our dia-
mand has just been put in a beautiful
condition, and already nearly every
dace on the Varsity has been filled.
Our petition to the trustees to allow
our team to travel has not yet been
acted on,- and we have almost des
paired of having it granted. Our
manager has not yet given out his
schedule of games, We hope to
meet "most of the teams from the
leading Southern Colleges on our
own campus. We can promise vis
iting, teams courteous treatment,
large audiences, and a hard fought
game. Wishing you a prosperous
season and a winning team, we are.

Oak Ridge Game.
The First Game of the Season .
Score N. C. 19, Oak Ridge 0.
If anyone has entertained any doubts
as to the probable strength o f our
team, they should have been put to
rest by the result of last Saturday's
game. '''';''

Chair of Pharmacy.
A Chair of Pharmacy, which has
long been needed at the University, is
at last established. This is a wise
move on the trustees' part and, in con
junction with the medical department,
the pharmaceutical course will prove
a great benefit.
To till this chair the trustees have
elected Mr. Edward Vernon Howell,
who is a graduate of W ake Forest Col
lege and also of the Philadelphia Col
lege of Pharmacy.
The establishment of this depart
ment will attract quite a large addition
of students to the University, and Mr
Howard is fully competent to main
tain a course of the highest standard.
Mr. DeBernier Whitaker, ex'93, is
in town.
