This societv will be to debating- what the Phi Beta Kappa is to scholarship, the basis of membership being articipation in an inter-eollegiate debate. The chapter at Carolina, being the first in the state to receive a charter will have the power Ito t grant jhe.. charter to other chapters in th? state who may apply for them. Thus the University is naturally placed at the head of the inter-collegiate debating activities of the State. The charter was eagerly granted, owing to Carolina's excellent record in debating,vhaving never lost a series, ; and having won 21 out of 29 debates in contest with such institu tions as " Georgia, Pennsylvania, Vir ginia, Tulane and Vanderbilt. The local chapter was launched at the last part of last session, and all -the mem bers are now out of college Except C. E. Mcintosh, who helped to win the Georgia debate last year. But with fresh inter-collegiate debates the Chap ter may be expected to rapidly increase in membership.--' '.2Z.s Admiral Charles Herbert' Stockton of the United States Navy, has been chosen president of George -Washing-University to succeed Dr. C.

The proposition ; of , colaborating ;with the Musical Association in a musical pro duction, also received some ' considera tion, but the general opinion seemed to lie that the undertaking was too big-; to be carried through successfully especially when the; iriadequateness of the Chapel is considered. ! r . i , : ;t .. . . i I j j Club For "Winston Salem Men. ; . j t. -.Tothe many clubs in the University, mostly county and ' high school clubs, quite a " unique addition was made Thursday afternoon when more than 20 jnen from Winston-Salem 'met and organized the Winston-Salem Club'.

" I ' .V;7--"'.;'-'" v i ').: The Press Association is an associa- tion of from $eventy-fivevto one7hun- dred rnen who send to the county and state papers a weekly letter containing accounts of happenings on the Hill that will be of interest to the people of the State- Here-to-fore the news paper correspondents in college have had no real organization and no defi. nite aim.. As a consequence, the news which reaches the State conccr.iing (he University was, to say the least, in termittent' and irregular. The pur pose of tbe association is then, to bring the newspaper men' td'geth'ef,t. to give hem direction and practice in self ex- pression, to excite more Keenly tneir interest. in University activities, and finally to keep the University and its work before the people of the State.-" L. A. Brownjs the leader and most active worker , in ..the, association. He is carrying on the work so abl started by Frank Graham last year. r The Press Association has . existed several years,'- but it was-only a nomi- hal existance, it, had na Hfe luntil rank Graham took hold and infused Some of his'own vitality anto it. -.For merly only the-daily papers -got the University news, xsow ubere are nity m- riching his arguments with an ' inimi table ' fund of anecdotes ' and ; stories that never left a sting." ' ;; As a public officer he was faithful capable, correct. He died in the prime of a useful aud honorable career, be loved by hosts of friends, and holding his high office by the confidence ' and regard of the people of North Caro lina. He entered many fields of en deavor and won high place in' each. I! his whole life had been devoted to a single' calling, he had the wonderful gift to have won the highest place. He could have , been a bishop, an eminent physician, a great college pre sident, a noted soldier, an able States man. His environment and disposi tion made him rise to a high place in all and to confound the maxim that no man can do more tnau one thing weii." . v '".-v.

V ' ' " j "' t Professor Daggett gave some inter esting details of the new battery:' The cellf which are in series, give' approxi mately 120 volts. The battery has a capacity of 240 ampere-hours; or un- clerTnormal conditions of operations will supply 30 amperes continuously for 8 hours on one charge. Expressed in lamp units, it is capable of running over 10U zu-candie power Tungsten . lamps for 8 hours, or about 500 lamps for 1 hour. , . . ' The new battery is exceedingly im portant in the work of the electrical and chemical departments. It makes electrical energy available for day use. Since the power plant is riot operated during the day the foregoing depart- , ments have been seriously handicap- ' ped in the past on that account. The battery will be used to supply power to the Electrical Laboratory, making , it possible to give work in this de partment which has hitherto been im practicablel It will also supply power to the Chemical Laboratory for Electro-chemical work, opening up an en- tirely new field in Electric Furnace work. . ... . Each cell consists of two sets of plates immersed in dilute sulphuric acid of about 1.21 density. One hun dred and fifty gallons of concentrated sulphuric acid was usd. , The positive plate is a grid of alloy of lead and anti mony and weighs 46 pounds. " The ne gative plate is a pure lead grid weigh ing 28 pounds. The total weight of the battery includiug the electrolyte is over three tons. . The total cost of the installation was about $1000. " The installing and charging of the battery was done by the seniors in the department of Elec trical Engineering, under the direc tion of Professor Dagget. The initial charge , which has just been successfully completed required about 60 hours of continuous charging and cost something over $20. Under : normal operation if will cost about $2.00 for each charge. It will be (Continued on fourth page) 4 11 (
