C as second-class mail matter. have all been strong- men, and Caro lina has more than once , come off victorious in these -debates. But the competion idea in selecting1 our debaters, for the future is cer tainly the correct one, and we are heartily glad that action has been taken by the Societies to put this idea into effect. In last baturdav s ffame a- g-ainst the University of Maryland Carolina received her second defeat of the season. Although there were several chances for winning-, advantage was not taken of them, so that Carolina offers no excuse for her defeat other than that it was her "day off." A distressing- lack of snap and g-ing-er so generally characteristic of the team's work, was absolutely lacking-. In short the cause of our defeat may be as cribed as being- the result of irreg--ular, unsteady training- for several days previous to the game. Such lack of training- shonld not exist, and we believe that as a" result of Sat urday's defeat the team will prac tice harder and more reg-ularlv from now on with a determined will to to make the Southern trip, on which Carolina starts out tomorow, a successful one in every way. Attention is called to an article elsewhere to be found in this issue entitled "Let '99 Organize" in which the writer advocates the per manent organizations of the various Senior classes which go out from the University, and appropriately suggests that . the present senior class be the first to form such an organization which it is shown can not but redound to the future pleas ure and enjoyment of the members of the class. This plan of class or ganizatlon, by which method only can classmen be kept in touch with each other from time to time after graduation, is an admirable one, we think, and we would urge our stu dent readers, particularly the mem hers of the oresent Senior class, : to read carefully the article above re ferred to and give this matter their earnest and thoughtful considera tion. The second annual field day contest i among- the different preparatory schools in the State will be held here on next Saturday. From present indica tions it would seem that the field day this year will fully equal if not ex cell the very successful one which took place here last year. To the prepara tory schools throughout the State in behalf- of the authorities and students of the University, we extend a most welcome invitation to send reppesenta tives to the Hill on Saturday and take part in the contests, and we can as sure all such visitors that we will do all in our power to. make -their stay with us a pleasant and enjoyable one.. N0n last Saturday night in the two Literary Societies the selection of the Georgia and Vanderbilt debat es was placed on a competitive basis. According to the old arrange ment the men to represent us In these debates were annually elected by-a direct vote of the two Societies. Under the present plan the selection of these debaters is determined by competition in a debate to be held early in the fall of each year, to en ter which any member of the two Societies is elig-ible, This chang-e is, we think, an important one and is a decided Mmprovement over the old plan. The debaters that have been chosen in the past to represent usj Philological Club Meeting. v Owing- to the very inclement weather very few had the pleasure of attending the regular monthly meeting of the Philological Club in the English lecture room on Tues dav evening--. 25th., inst. Those who did, however, felt amply 're paid for their venture. ; The first paper .before the Club was read by Dr. Hume. In this the Azariah ' and the Daniel, Saxon poems, were compared with each oth er and the Biblical Daniel and the Song- of the Hebrew children in the Apocrypha. Translations were given of the Saxon version of I the Song with criticism of passages that show discriminating- love of nature. The Canticle used in the morning- prayer of the Episcopal church was discussed. Notes on some Latin Inscriptions were given in a short lecture by Prof. Harrington. The Inscrip tions,, taken from tombs, walls of building, city 'pavements, etc., were found full of. strange interest when written out on the blackboard thus bringing" them as near reproduction as possible. Curious epithets in general were discussed at the close of the lecture. The last paper of the evening, The Date of Zoroaster, was read by Prof. Linscott. The th ree pos sible dates as given in as many traditions were discussed. The first, pntting his birth at about 6,000 B. C, was dismissed as being utterly improbable. Prof. Linscott g-ave as his opinion that the true date was approximately three hun dred years before the era of Alex ander, the Great. This would make his birth 630 B. C. The av erage reader would do well to re member this when reading Mr. F. Marion Crawford's entertaining piece of fiction. Mr. Crawford's "Zoroaster" is only a product of his highly cultivated imag-inatiop. Pay your subscription to the Tar ' HEEL. . Accessions to the Library.
