vol. 11. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1903. No. 18. THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY , ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. ALTON PACKARD. On "Types of Uncle Sam's Folks." Star Course Address De livered February 18th. Mr. Alton Packard delivered the fifth Star Course Entertainment in Gerrard Hall on last Wednesday evening. His subject was "Types of Uncle Sam's Folks." Mr. Packard as a cartoonist holds a place unique and universal among Lyceum Entertainers. His great versatility, his graceful wit and ge nial humor added to skill as an artist, musician, and impersonator enabled him to present an evening of rare enjoyment. He began his lecture by protray ing the four seasons of a hat. First it appeared upon the head of the bloated bond-holder; upon next his coachman; then upon the drunkard, and lastly our friend "Happy Holi gon." He then made sketch in similari ty in expression, beginning with a Chinaman, passing on through, Jew and Irishman, finally ending with the old negro preacher. He next attacked the Anglo-maniac, telling several good jokes at the expense of our cousins across the pond. The Indiana hoosier also came in for a share of attention accompanied by lines from James Whitcomb Riley. He also demonstrated his ability as a sculpter by carving, from a seem ing block of marble a Cupid's head. Next he showed types of Uncle Sam's women, beginning with the typical American girl and ending with the Old Maid of Boston, who dipped into science, read medicine, and attented all anti-societies, while her father stayed home and darned socks. He discussed the Delsarte woman at length and cited lines showing how even Delsarte could be turned to good account. He closed the evening with a land scape showing the evolution of a Cuban wilderness into a modern city with sky scarpers, rail road, and the Carnegie Library, and all other late improvements. His parting advice was "Keep cheerful." A New Book Coming.

Review of the February Magazine. i The February issue of the Maga zine comes to us with a new name at the head of the "Editor's Page," but judging from the contents and the get-up it is still in the hands of its friends. On the editorial page we have these words: "A college magazine should represent the institution's serious thought, what goes in it should be worthy of preserva tion." This seems to be a state ment of the policy of the present editor-in-chief, and in the frontis piece and opening article, certainly, he is living up to his ideal. It is eminently fitting that Dr. Linscott should have the place of honor in this issue of the University Maga zine. His address on "Pure Schol arship and the College" needs no comment. It is well known to Uni versity men and the State in gener al. It is worthy of preservation. We are all indebted to the Maga zine for publishing the few short poems of Dr. Linscott. They serve to show us how "symmetrical, rounded, and perfect like the sphere," to use his own words, his life and scholarship was. The article by Mr. Wilson, "Cri tique of Westward Ho," is a valua ble and interesting paper. It is a carefully worded well written piece. The setting of the story is especial ly well given, and shows us some thing of the spirit of adventure and of the full free life of Elizabethan England. The bibliography will, no doubt, be a help also, to stu dents of Kingsley. The article entitled "More Uni versity Days Seventy Days Ago," adds materially to the interest of of the number. We are liable to forget what manner of men our fore fathers were in their youthful days. The above mentioned article will lead to the conclusion that they w:re at least indued with some thing of the same kind of human nature that some times expresses itself in the college student of to day. The piece of fiction by D. A. B. is good, and displays some talent on the part of the author. The tone of "A. Summer Episode" is well sustained throughout. The account of the "Washington meeting of Scientific Society" will be read with interest by all. We consider this issue of the Maga zine up to the standard set for it this year. We only regret that the students themselves will net per mit the editors to put in more dis tinctly student work. H. M. F. Prep English.
