In one thing do we think that the
Advisory Committee of the Athletic
Association has been remiss and that
is in not appointing- a manager for
next Fall's foot ball team. At this
time of the year all the colleges with
whom we wish to arrange games
are. corresponding and are rapidly
making a schedule of games for
their foot ball team of next Fall.
If we do not appoint a manager for
our team very soon we will have to
content ourselves with playing
a few preparatory schools
within the State and schools
and colleges of no importance in
other States. It is the prevailing
opinion throughout college that it is
high time for this matter to be at
tended to and we hope the Advisory
Committe will meet at once and e
lect a man to this position.
It was the general impression of
the student body that the system of
semi-monthly public faculty lect
ures inaugurated last year was a
permanent arrangement. At least
it was a good one and one from
which much benefit was derived.
The size and the interest of the
audiences which always turned out
to hear those lectures is argument
enough that they were enjoyed and
appreciated and showed fully that
there is a need for such things a
mong us. It has a broadening ten
dency and gives students wholesome
food for -thought much needed in
our isolated condition here. Can't
we have something of that sort a
. gain?
It is with extreme regret that
we part with Mr. W. A. Reynolds
who for the last two years has been
with us in the capacity of foot ball
coach and fellow student. Mr.
Reynolds has done more for Athlet
ics herethan any one who has ever
had collection with them His first
season here showed his ability as
a foot ball coach and his work last
fall has made his name famous
throughout the State and South.
While here he made man' friends
who regret much his departure.
May he have as much success in the
new field of labor upon which he
will soon enter as he did here in
the capacity of Athletic director.
A general beleif of the Alumni
through out the State is that our
severance of Athletic relations with
Virginia will hurt our Athletics for
for the simple reason that the rival
ary that existed between the two
Universities alone kept up interest
among the students It is true that
the annual game with Virginia both
in base ball and foot ball excited un
bounded interest and enthusiasm a-
mongthestudeuts and outsiders and
those games were always the crown
ing point of our annual games. If we
won those games, the students and
the public of North Carolina were
satisfied and happy if not, all went
wrong. As is well known, our
severance of these relations with
Virginia was unavoidable. We could
not afford to play games with her
unless some agreement could be
made between us. Virginia would
not do this consequently the steps
were taken by us. To take the
place of the annual Thanksgiving
foot ball game at Richmond with
Virginia one has been arranged with
Georgia to be playedat Atlanta and
we see no reason why this game can
not be-looked forward to and excite
as much interest and enthusiasm as
that with Virginia. Our base ball
games can be arranged too with
Georgia and this college can
be to us what-Virginia used to be.
Let not this belief take hold of
the student body but come-what
may we will always support our
teams regardless of whom we play.

The Law School
A large number of the University
Law School wiil leave here Saturday
for Raleigh where they will appear
before the Supreme Court on Monday
for their licenses to practise in North
Carolina. The examination held in
September, being written, proved a
very rigid one and the applicants from
here this time have been keeping them
selves very close and will try not to
have the same fate befall them as did
to a few from here last time. We have
no doubt, however that those who have
Dr. Manning's certificate will come out
all right in this trying ordeal, as is the
usual case. ,
The Knights of Pythias will
give an oyster supper next Monday
night under Yearby's drug store
from 8 to 12, proceeds for a good
cause. Public invited.
A Dotiatiou to The Universrty.
Mrs. F. W. Potter, wife of the late
Dr. Potter of Wilmington. N. C. who
was for man)' years city Physician
has donated to the University her hus
band's library.
This consists of several hundred vol
umes and will be quite a valuable ad
dition to the medical library here.
Meeting of The Philological Club.
The regular monthly meeting of'the
Philological club was held Tuesday
night in the English room. The
meeting proved a' very interesting and
instructive one. Papers were read by
Professors Harrington and Linscott.
Mr. Harrington gave a review of
some of the Latin books published du
ring the year 1898.
Mr. Linscott gave Vergil's idea of
the relations of man to the infinite.
Dr. Hume was expected to give a
paper to the club but he found it im
possible to be present.
Date of the Georgia-Carolina Debate
The third annual intercollegiate de
bate between Carolina and Georgia
will be held at Athens, Georgia on
March 17th. '99, The subject for said
debate is the question of the election of
United States Senators by popular
vote. Carolina has the negative side,
and is ably represented by Messrs.
T. C. Bowie, Di. and E. D. Broadhurst,
Phi. Much enthusiasm is being man
ifested by the students of both Univer
sities, and in view of the fact that each
college has come off victorious in the
past two years, a spirited and hard
fought contest may be expected. We
can safely say that Messrs. Bowie and
Broadhurst will hold up the reputation
of Carolina.
Prof. Gore With the Class in Junior
Physics
Last Friday, Prof. J. Howard Gore,
of Columbia University,, gave the class
in Junior Physics a very entertaining
and instructive lecture on the method
of swinging the pendulum to determine
relative force of gravity at different
places on the earth's surface.
Prof. Gore began by explaining why
the earth should be flattened at the
poles, and then proceeded to reproduce
and apply that familiar (?) old formu
la
T is equal to ir upon 1-j-g.
to prove its exact shape, by the way
gravity varies in different portions of
the world.
The construction and working of the
pendulum was carefully explained with
the necessary constructions for expan
sion and contraction of the pendulum,
the expansion and. contraction of the
thermometer tube, and other similar
sources of error,
Prof. Gore's comment on the difficul
ty of getting the exact length of the
pendulum, and of calculating the errors
caused by expansion etc. , gave the
class a much keener appreciation of the
value of their elaboratory experiments.
To some, such things as measuring the
length of a plain iron bar, or getting
the coefficient of expansion, was ex
ceedingly boring, but when they found
a great scientist carefully and patient
ly doing the same thing in every exper
menthe made, their ideas of its impor
tance underwent a decided change.
Exchanges.
The student body of Dartmouth
has voted toabolish hazing at that
college and "President Tucker is de
