UNIVERSITY DAY.
Celebration of the Anniversary of the
Founding of the University.
Addresses by President Vetiable and Dr. Smith Re
ception by the Faculty Future Celebrations to
be Much Greater than Those of the Past.
The one hundred aud ninth anni
versary of the founding of the Uni
versity was celebrated last Wed
nesday more fittingly perhaps than
ever before. Its celebration was
not confined to the students and
and faculty here: the day was re
membered and observed by Uni
versity men in manv places both in
and out of the State. The celebra
tion here consisted of two parts:
the exercises in the Chapel in the
morning1, and the reception by the
faculty to the students in the even
ing. The day was one to make a
man proud to bear the name, Uni
versity man.
The morning exercises were open-
ed with prayer by Dr. Thomas
Hume. After this the University
versity men could get together
During the speech a telegram was
received from the Wilmington
Alumni Association, stating tha
they were holding' their celebra
tion and that they sent greetings to
their Alma Mater.
A letter was read which hat
been mailed to every organization
of the Alumni. The following are
some extracts from the letter:
"It. is with great pleasure that

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT VENABLE.
As this address is to be printed
in thenext issue of the Record, we do
not reproduce much of the text here.
An effort is made, however, to give
some of the more interesting parts.
Dr. Venable stated at the outset
that the day marked the beginning
of increased significance and impor
tance of University Day. It was
hoped, he said, that the movement
started this year would result in a
celebration of the anniversary each
year wherever a half a dozen Uni-
like centre for their life. The
building is badly needed and should
be pressed to completion.
"While little funds can be spared
for the purpose especial care is be
ing taken iu beautifying the cam
pus. Vines and many trees are set
out annually. The large field to
the east will gradually be turned
into an arboretum."
Following this is a statement of
the pressing needs of the institution:
(1) increased income and enlarged
faculty; (2) a new library; (3) a
chemical laboratory.
The letter closed with the fol
lowing greeting:
"Your alma mater sends you
greetings and hopes for each of her
sons prosperity and increased use
fulness."
Dr. Venable closed his address
with a brief account of the pro
gress made by the University dur
ing the twenty-five years since he
was called to take charge of the
"School of Chemistry." In the in
terv'al the number of members o
the faculty has doubled severa
times: the number of students has
been increased bv 450. and the
value of the University equipmen
has increased $300,000. A higl
tribute was paid to Dr. Battle for
A.
his successful efforts in making the
State realize that the institution
belonged to the people of the State
and is to be supported by them.
ANOTHER VICTORY.
DR. SMITH S ADDRESS.
The speech of Dr. Smith on "Lit
erature in the South," was in part.
as follows:
"The Old South excelled in ora
tory and statesmanship, but not in
literature. The best poets that
wrote in the South before 1870 were
Poe, Timrod, Hayue, aud Ryan.
The Old South produced also seven
short poems that are likely to re
main a permanent part of American
literature. These are 'The Star
Spanyled Banner,' by Key; 'A
a. -
Health,' by Pinkney; 'My Mary
land,' by Randall; 'Florence Vane,'
by Cooke; 'The Bivouac of the
Dead,' by O'Hara; 'My Life is Like
the Summer Rose,' by Wilde, and
'Little Giffin,' by Ticknor.
"But why did not the Old South
produce as great a literature as
New England? Thomas Nelson
Page assigns five reasons for the
comparative dearth of literature in
the South, but his reasons are hard
ly adequate.
"The renaissance in Southern
literature came in the year 1870
The South had failed to respond to
the new literary movement in 1830
because at that time her best intel
lectual energies were needed to de
fend her cherished institutions; but
the war had liberated aud nation
alized Southern talent, and from
1870 to 1888 the great Northern
magazines were almost monopolized
by Southern writers.
"Literature in the South needs
higher critical standards. We must
put away local and provincial stand
ards and must erect universal stand
ards. Whenever a book or a poem

s praiseu simpiy necause it is
Southern, critical standards are
owered, false impressions are made,
m possible hopes are raised, and
iterature is wounded in the home
of her would-be friends. Patriot
ism is one thing, literature quite a
differen thing.
"The most encouraging feature of
our literature since 1870 is its fidel-
ty to Southern traditions, Southern
ideals, Southern life. Our history
is being written in our literature.
This is what Scott did for Scot
land. "It is a truth of universal appli
cation that literature loves a lost

South Carolinians Outclassed But
Put up a Nervy iiattle.
; Carolina defeated South Carolina
College here Saturday in the snap
piest game that has been played
here this season. The South Caro
lina team, although clearly out
classed, went into the game with
determination and got within 10
yards of a touch down in the second
half. The team work of North
Carolina was better than it has
been in any game. The features of
the game were Winborne's long run
of 40 yards for a touch down and
Jacocks' pretty drop-kick from the
30-yard line.
It looked at the start as if the
Clemson-Carolina slugging match
was to be repeated but the players
settled down and played a clean
game. Bear, of North Carolina,
and Foster, of South Carolina, were
put out of the game for slugging.
The stars were Webber and Ja
cocks for the Tar Heels and Foster
for the Sandlappers.
The game in detail was as fol
lows: South Carolina receives kick on
west end of field. Roberson kicks
ball 50 yards and South Carolina
advances it 25. On first rush ball
is fumbled but Boyle falls on it.
Wyman makes no gain through
right tackle. On next rush ball is
fumbled and Webber falls on it.
Roberson gains 3 yards through left
guard. Bear goes around right end
for 25 yards; he fumbles but Rob
erson falls on ball. On next rush
signal is missed and Jacocks downs
ball. Roberson through left guard
for 1 yard. Roberson makes 2 more
through right tackle. Ball goes
over. soutn Carolina kicks
yards and Roberson advances 10.
On the next two attempts signals
are missed and Jacocks is downed
in his tracks, with no gains. Ja
cocks pulls out of this hole by kick
ing a drop kick from the field, which
counts 4 points for North Carolina.
