OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY. OF NORTH CAROLINA , ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION,
DR. BANCROFT LECTURES.
The Eminent Cornell Professor
Speaks to the Scientific
Students.
On Friday night Dr,; Bancroft,
of Cornell, lectured in the Chemis
try lecture room to the scientific
students of the University. Dr.
Baskerville, in introducing the
speaker called attention - to his
wide reputation as a scientist, and
spoke of him as the leading physi
cal chemist of America.
The subject of Dr. Bancroft's
lecture was "The Relation of
Chemistry , 9 the Other Sciences."
The other sciences considered were
Physics. Engineering, Geology,
Physiology, Botany, and Medicine.
The speaker spoke of the relation
of Chemistry to each of these, and
illustrated. these relations by cer
tain problems met with by other
scientists, which can be settled only
by the chemist.
In concluding. Dr. Bancroft said
that'the sciences, instead of tend
ing toward a large number of iso
lated t facts, as. is .often , supposed,
are really becoming more unified.
There has been this tendency, it is
true: but from the various facts
thus obtftined4 the, scientist is com
ing to derive general Underlying
laws. What were once thought
separate facts are now seen to be
interrelated and conformable to cer
tain general principles. So that
instead of the future scientist's be
ing informed only in his particular
branch of a Darticular science, he
will' and must have a general view
of the whole field of science.

Sewanee Versus Carolina.
It was stated yesterday in the
Vanderbilt notes in the Banner that,
the ' University of North Carolina
defeated Sewanee in 1900. An in
vestigation of the record shows that
this was an error, as the two teams
played to a standstill in Atlanta
that year, the score being 0 to 0.
They also played 0 to 0 in 1895.
Their next, game.was in 1897, when
North Caroliua won by 12 to 6 In
1899 Sewanee won by 5 to 0. They
have not played since the tie of
1900. From this it can be seen
that North Carolina, which, has a
great reputation because of , her de
feat of Virginia on Thanksgiving,
has not been such a terror to; Ten
nessee colleges as might be suppos

Real Worth of a College.
President Mclver, of the Normal
'and Industrial, U. N. C. '81, out-
, t .)f, - , i
worth of a college as follows:
"The worth of a strong college
tp a student is not, as some suppose,
the mere fact that it gives the op
portunity to a student to perform
systematic literary tasks assigned
by teachers, or that it gives oppor
tunity to work iii laboratories and
libraries. .These are necessary and
important, but the student's great
est advantage at college is the spir
itual and mental atmosphere of the
place. It is intangible but you can
feel it. It cannot be measured, but
its effect, is everywhere manifest.
The love of truth for truth's sake;
the belief in equality before the law;
the belief in fair play and the wil
lingness to applaud an honest vic
tor in every contest, whether on the
athletic field or in the class room or
in social life; the feeling of common
responsibility; the habit of toler
ance! towards those with whom one
does not entirely agree'; 'the giving
upofsmail rights for the sake of1 i
greater rights that are essential;'
the recognition of authority and the
voluntary, dignified submission to
it when the reason for the policy'
adopted by the authority is not lap
parent, the spirit of overlooking the
blunders of others' and of helping1'
those who are weak; ' the contempt
for idlers and shirkers; the love of
one's fellow workers even though
they be one's" rivals; patience ' in
toil; self-reliance; faith in human
progress; confidence in right and
belief in God these are the char
acteristics of the atmosphere of a
great and useful college. The
young man or young woman yvho
by association with faculty and fel
low students becomes imbued with
these principles gains what never
can be secured in the same degree
in the best homes or small schools,
or anywhere else except in a col
lege." Elisha Mitchell Society.
The 152nd meeting of the Elisha
Mitchell Scientific Society was held
Tuesday evening. Dr. Coker gave
an interesting account of Mendel's
remarkable Law of Heredity, which
is now creating so much discussion.
Dr. Wilson in his paper on Incom
plete Division in Vertebrae Ani
mals showed how monsters can be
produced simply by constricting the
embryo. Some two headed turtles
were exhibited. . Prof. Cobb dis
cussed the "Composition of Crys
tal Plain Sands in Relation to Dis
tance from Existing Shore Lines."
President Abercrombie has in
vited Mr. William Jennings Bryan,
the great Democratic leader, to
make an address before the student
body of the University some time
during the latter part of this week!
Mr. Bryan has accepted the invita
tion, and will probably come-down
from Birmingham about Thursday
night. Tne Crimson-White, U.of
