resident Arthur 'P. Hadley of
Ynle University delivered lust
Friday niht the I rst of the sc
ries of Nb'Nair lectures which he
consented to deliver this year.
The general subject of Dr. Hart
leys lecture was "Some Tenden
cies of Modern Ph i 1 o so p h i c
Thought". The subject of the
first lecture delivered F r i d a y
night was ''Changed Conceptions
of Science". The first lecture
was a clear, concise, highly intel
lectual review of the modern ten
dencies in scientific thought.'
The distinguished speaker was
introduced by President Veoable
who welcomed him to ! lie Univer
sity. Dr. Hadley expressed his
pleasure in coming to the Uni
versity, and took up first the un
changed conception of science.
"Kvcry man" he said, "must
have a philosophy which it is
necessary for. himself to work ou
and which is a dominant influence
in his life. "What we have in
herited from our fathers', Goethe
says, "we must work out for our
selves before we can call it our
own'. The working out of that
which our forefathers have dis
covered is the most distinctive
feature of a college student's
work. The . nineteenth century
has witnessed many changes in
philosophy. In my college days
interest centered around Herbert
Spencer and his views. The
mode of thought that he repre
sented has come and gone.
"In the eighteenth century in
dividuality was do mi na n t in
Europe, great personalities such
as Voltaire, Frederick of Prussia,
Rousseau, and Napoleon were the
product of that time. There was
unrest in the eighteenth century
and with these great individuals
the French Revolution came. In
the early nineteenth century there
was more intellectual complacency
and also few great individuals,
hut more personal freedom. There
was so much complacency that
electricitj which Franklin de
nominated positive was allowed
to go by that name though it is
essentially negative.
"Three great discoveries have
been the center of scientific
thought during the past century.
These are the laws of couserva-

AGE! MEET AT KALEI6H SATURDAY
COBURN PLAYERS MONDAY
"Twelfth Night" in the After-
noon, "Macbeth" at Night
The Coburn Plaers, who
through their simple, siucere
and thoroughly artisti perform
ances of Shakespearian, and other
classic plays, have made
themselves noted through the
length and breadth ofj the land
will present "Twelfth night" and
"Macbeth" on the campus Mon
day, April 29'h. 1
With the Coburns "the play's
the thing" in reality, and scorn
ing the limitations imposed by
the theatre, they give all their
productions out of doors where
th.e scenic artist is Nature herself,
whre the "drops" are trees that
really grow, the arras,' a c t u a 1
shrubbery, and the stage, the
grass. The plays that this com
pany presents are not those which
depend for effect upon t tricks of
lighting, or elaborate stage pic
tures, and, indeed, it is when
these are absent, and one may
lose oneself in the charm of the
poetic thought of a Shakespear
ian comedy, for instance, that its
appeal is felt most potently. It
is not hard to imagine that one is
in the Forest of Arden when Or
lando may attach his love missives
to the living trees, and Rosalind
approach one, . not .frc. . some
where "up stage" but through
the snapping bushes. And, in
such circumstances, it is not dtfi-
cult to translate oneself and to be
veritably of the merry company
in the courtyard of Illyria with
Sir Tobey, Sir Andrew and Maria
as they wake the night with their
unseemly revels, or hide among
the bushes to watch the strutting,
cross-gartered Malvolio.
Not the least exquisite incidents
in Shakespearian comedy are the
incidental songs, Mr. Coburn has
succeeded after a great deal of
research in obtaining music for
these that seems authentic and)
truly Elizabethan, There is no
orchestra with the players as
there wasn't when the plays had
their premiers at the old Globe
Theatre but the music is sung
by a quartet of men's voices. The
men are niaaen away in me
shrubbery somewhere, and the
rising and falling of the quaint,
appealing old tunes on the night
air lends much to the syly an at
mosphere of the productions.
Mr. Coburn's company this
year is larger and stronger than
ever and its appearance here may
be anticipated with a great deal
of pleasure
The Coburn Players have at
tracted widespread attention at;
Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton, Bryn Mawr and many others
colleges where alfresco perform-,
ances have been of unusual inter
est. They appear under their
auspices yearly and the heads of
these institutions are unanimous
in praising the unusually fine

Hopkins University lectured in

CAROLINA WINS
AT CHARLOTTE
General Lee, Complete Mas
ter, Holds Virginia to
Four Scattered Hits
ALL RUNS MADE LN THE FOURTH
The Game Was Played in a Mass of
Mud, but in Spite of This, Caroli
na Put ITp an Errorless Contest.
Irby and Winsted Stars. Team
Wa.s Able to Hit Rixey "When Hits
Counted.
Disaster came to Virginia, and
delight to CiTolina in the fourth
inning of-.' the third big battle
when the White and Blue repres
entatives found Rixey for four
runs which .spelled victory. Lee
holding tha insurgents , , run ess
during the.: entire .unfolding.
The game was played in a mass
of mud, the new league grounds
at Charlotte havidg been rendered ,
exceeding slushy by the rains of
the preceding" night. In view of
the condition of the park, the
game waa noteworthy and the
fielding better than ordinary cali
ber. . - ,.
The fourth frame which decid
ed the event was introduced by
Hanes who outran a slow bunt to
Rixey. The stands, flooded with
Carolina enthusiasts, turned loose
the first gennine volume of appl
ause, for not untill then had a
Carolina man reached first. The
sacrifice bunt of Edwards was en
tierly sufficieut to put Hanes on
second. Irby proceeded to drop
another slow roller to Rixey and
in an excess of eagerness to nail
Hanes at third, he threw weirdly
and umpire Henderson gave the
decision in favor of the boys from
the Hill. Irby stole second just
before Swink hit a long sacrifice
fly to right field on which Hanes
prized open tne running and
started the fun.
Leak produced a perfectly sani
tary single to center field and
Irby stopped on third. Winstead
followed and delivered the single
that sent the second run over with
Irby. Bailey was passed. Fin
ley let one get by him and the
runners advanced to second and
third in time to score when by a
misjudgment Fitchette allowed
Page's fly to drop safely, bring
ing in the other two runs. After
this Carolina only threatened se
riously to add to the score, this
being in the fifth when two men
got to base on a single by Swink
and an error by McGuire on Ed
wards' grounder.
The Virginia crowd started off
as if they were intimate in their
acquaintance with Lee's curves,
Finley, the first up cutting a good
one to left for a single. He stole
second after Lile had failed to
sacrifice and both Douglas and
