DEATH OF WILLIAM DORTCH
DIES IN RICHMOND AS A RESULT
OF OPERATION
Member of Goldsboro family well
known in Civil War
News of the death of William
Thomas Dortch, Jr., of Goldsboro
reached Chapel Hill early Monday
morning. He died as a" result of blood
poisoning- that came after an operation
for appendicitis performed in St. Lukes
Hospital, Richmond, Va., during the
Christmas holidays. The remains
were taken to his home in Goldsboro
where the interment took place Tues
day morning. '
Although he had been a student at
the University for only three months,
he had made many fast friends and
was universally considered a manly
and admirable young fellow. He was
a member of the Freshman Class, the
Philanthropic Literary Society, and
played class football. He comes of
one of the most prominent families in
Eastern North Carolina. His father,
William Thomas Dortch, is a well
known lawyer of Goldsboro, who
studied law at the University. His
mother, his sisters, Elsie, older than
he, and Anna and May; and 'brothers;
Gaston, Hugh, Redding and a baby
brother survive him. His grandfath
er, the late William Thomas Dortch,
was one of the foremost men in the
legal profession of North Carolina
during the civil war. He was a mem
ber of the Senate of the Confederate
States.
Mr. Hampden Hill of the 'Depart
ment of Chemistry in the University
his cousin and Mr. Redding Perry, his
roommate last fall, left Monday to
attend' the funeral in Goldsboro.

A. J. Elliott, Mr. W. E. Willis, Mt
E. C. Mercer, and Mr. Clayton S.
Looper. Dr. w. I J. vveathenorcl is
well known here. He is a graduate of
Vanderbilt University where he took
the B. A , M. A., and Ph.D. While in
college he was President of the Y. M.
C. A., coach of tin basket ball team,
and the finest gymnast of his day'.
For nine years he has been a travelling-
secretary of the Y. M. (VA. His
work has brought him into the largest
institutions all over the Country.
There is probably no one better ac
quainted with the colleges of the
South.
Mr. A. J. ("Dad") Elliott is Stu
dent Secretary for the West. He is
an alumnus of Northwestern where he
played left end on the football team
four years, was captain of the track team
one years and president of the Y. M.
C. A. two years. He was named all
western end in '01. "A thorough col
lege man, famous athlete, friend of
men, he is unusually popular with
men."
Mr. W. E. Willis, A. B., Wofford
College,. and A. M. Vanderbilt Uni
versity, has been engaged in college
Y. M.C. A. work four years. He is
now associatet1 with Dr. Weatherford
as International Stmleet Secretary of
the South.
Mr. E. C. Mercer, A. B., Univer
sity of Virginia, delivered an address
here and will be welcomed back again
this year. Since his visit' here he has
visited colleges from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. In college Mercer was a
prominent student. He was captain
of the Varsity base ball team, a glee
club man, and a great social leader.
It was in college that the he contract
ed habits that carried him down to the
lowest that the life of the slums holds.
It is against these practices and habits
that Mercer protests,
Mr. Clayton S. Cooper is perhaps
the best known member of the depu

The class of 1911 banqueted last
Friday night at the University Inn,
having as the guests of honor, Drs

bantam "Ked btewart acted as
toashti aster. His introductions were
well calculated, in some cases, to draw
a smile. Dr. Venable was in his hap
piest mood. His talk fairly sparkled
with good humor. His theme was the
ideal life here at the University. He
did not wish it confined too much to
one single phase. He paid a broad
compliment to Frank Graham as the
man who most neaily realized this i
deal. A scholarly member of the sen
ior class was highly lauded for his ex
tensive knowledge of Chemistry which
was said to exceed that of the Presi
dent at the time he had graduated at
his European alma malcr. Dr. Vena
ble was followed by I. C. Moser who
chosejfor his subject, 'The Class of 19
11." l'Hl, according to his account,
has, as the largest Junior class that ev
er entered the University, furnished its
full contribution to all college activi
ties. Dr. Hamilton in his speech, "The
Relation of Democracy to Crime", made
a stroug plea for the elimination of cer
tain violations of the law that he knew
to exist among the students. He paid
particular attention to the harm that
hazing is doing the reputation of the
University. The remnant of it that
still remains has, in his opinion, caused
fifty students not to enter the Univers
ity during the present year. John Tillet
in a more or less humorous talk, advo.
cated the foundation of a lasting mon
ument for his class. Some scholarships
or other class gift should surely remain,
he thousrht, as a memorial of the class
of 1911.
Dr. Raper began his talk by the an
nouncement that he did not come to of
fer a collection of plain cold facts. He
gave his concept of the proper attitude
that should obtain between men in the
different departments of college life.
He expressed a desire that tolerance
should be the keynote of the relation
between scientific student and philo
sophical student, between scholar and
athlete. J. A. McKay responded to
Dr. Raper with m exposition upon
"The Value of Science in the Collegi
ate Course". He recounted an unfortu
nate experience in Chemistry 3, which
had discouraged him but had left the
smouldering fire of his admiration for
science sufficently strong for it to burst
into flame once more with his success
on Botany 1.
Professor Collier Cobb laid stress on
the importance of selection as applied
to the college course He said that in
selecting his course a student should
pay attention not only to the course it
self but also to the man who gave the
course. Professor C'bb's talk redound
