COMMENCEMENT, THE GALA WEEK OF
THE COLLEGE YEAR, VILL BEGIN MAY 31
Class Day Exercises, Society Banquet, Class Reunions,
Promise to be Most Enjoyable Yet. William C.
Redfield and Agusfus Van Wyck to Speak
PLANS FOR DANCES ARE YET UNCERTAIN. ALUMNI BALL CAME WILL BE A FEATURE.
The Commencement exercises this year' show every indication
of being" among- the best ever held at The University. The exer
cises have been planned so as to be of interest to botli alumni and
to students. They will be entirely different from any exercises held
at The University during' the year, arid it will be worth while to,
stay and see them. As the programme shows,, the faculty have,
not let a chance go by to get good speakers Rev. Edgar P. Hill,
D. 1)., who is to deliver the baccalaureate Sermon is a noted clergy
man if Chicago. The Rev. O. Brown, D. I)., of Nashville, Tenn.
was to have preached the sermon lie fore the Young- Men's Christian
Association Sunday evening, but is unable to fill the engagement
on account ol the serious illness of his wife, This place will be til le
however, by R. W. Ilogue, St. Johns Episcopal church, Baltimore,
formerly Rector of the Chapel of -the Cross of Chapel Hill,
date.
Who wouldn't like to be present when the Seniors in caps
and gowns Jiue up in front of Memorial Hall to march to chapel for
prayers, and then to follow them in Chapel wher the class day exer
cises are to be held? There will be heard President Leach's fare
well address to his classmates, the class orators speech in present
ing" the class present to The University, and the vociferations of
the contestants for the Manguni Medal. Then at five o'clock when
the shadows on the campus are beginning- to grow longer the Sen
iors will assemble under the Davie Poplar to read the last will and
testament, the history, and the prophecy, and to smoke the pipe of
peace. Everybody, will then have to hurry home to supper to g-et
ready for the annual joint banquet of the Dialectic and Philan
thropic Literary Societies in the Dining- Hall. This is always one
of the most enjoyable events of Commencement, and with Korneg-ay
and.Rousha.ll representing: the Phi, and Eutsler and Martin repre
senting the Di there will certainly be no lack of good speakers.
After the banquet the societies will hold anniversary meetings in
their respective halls. To hear the Alutnni tell about their college
days, and th other interesting things they always tell on this
occasion will alone make it worth while to stay for Commencement,
On Tuesday 2, Judge Augustus Van Wyck, one of Carolina's
most distinguished Alumni, will make the alumni address. . Judge
Van Wyck was the third. honor man of the class of 1864 in which
only ten men graduated. In his Sophomore year he was class
declaituer, and in his Junior year was a marshall. At commence
ment of his senior year he was to have delivered the benior oration,
but at that time he was delivering something hotter than a class
oration in June to the Union army at some point in Virginia, possi
bly Bull Run or Appomattox. Tlie reunion exercises of the classes
of 1864, 1 889, 1894, 1904, 190l, will then follow, together with the
Alumni luncheon and Alumni baseball games in the afternoon,
Tuesday night the debate between the two societies and the Faculty
Reception in the library will be held,
! it TT 1i ,1 i . .
Wednesday morning ine r acuuj ami graduates . line up in
front of the Alumni building and march with the band to Memorial
Hall. The exercises there will be begun with the commencement
address by Secoetary of Commerce YVilham C. Redfield, the tariff
specialist, who, however, will not speak on the tariff. Then the
President will announce the winners of the various prizes, the
;yi-r ivuiforrpri and the Bibles presented. Then evervthino-wilt
lia. over but the dances, which will start Wednesday night. As yet
nothing definite is known about the dances; where they will be
held, where the music will come from is all conjecture, luit they
will be fine. The details can not be., given here, but every man
who stays to commencement is guaranteed a good time that he will
long remember.

the election, In his Freshman
year Woolcott sprang into fame
first in the class meet when he
copped 20 1-2 points for the Fresh
men, getting first on the two
hurdles, high jump, and -.broad
jump. He raised the high jump
record for the University from 5.6
