NEED
A satisfactory method of post
.ngf examination grades is a ne
cessity. The scrambling around
the bulletin board last Saturday
afternoon was identical with what
has occurred for several years and
what will continue to take place
as long- as the old method of post
ing.grades is persisted in. The
".onductwasnot altogether praise
worthy at times, but the stu
dents involved were not wholly to
-lame. When a thousand men,
ach anxious to learn his exami-
ation grade, crowd around two
, lass exhibit cases some six feet
Dug, pushing and shoving will
aturally ensue.
An amelioration of this con
ition could be effected without
reatly taxing any one individual.
Vhen the grades are typewritten
or display on the Alumni bulle
in board, why cannot two car
on copies be made for exhibition
a other places? Or why cannot
ie members of the faculty post
.xamination grades in their re
pective class rooms? Carbon du
plicates of the lists sent to the
Office would suffice.
There are, no doubt, other
nethods better than these. Any
'.ystera, if it work, will be satis
actory. What we all wane is
omething different from the one
low used. .

BE DATE FOR JUNIOR WEEK
Recently the German Club
oted to hold its spring dance
efore Lent rather than after
laster, since Easter comes this
ear late in April. Should the
acuity sanction the holding of
he dances at this time, it will,
xo doubt, mean the moving up of
unior Week, with its class exer
ises, to the first of March a
aonth from now. ' t
Various reasons have been ad
anced for holding Junior Week
it this time rather than after
3aster, the most important being
:hat the spring dances, held so
.ate, will interfere with those at
commencement and senior exam
inations. The Tar JJeel does not share
this point of view. It would, no
doubt, be preferable to separate
Jnnior Week more than .five weeks
from commencement, but would
it be practicable to fix the date
at March 1? If the dances are
to be held before Lent, this must
necessarily be the date, since
March 8 is Ash Wednesday. Fur
thermore a basketball-game with
Guilford is 'scheduled to take
place in Bynum Gymnasium on
Wednesday 1, of which some dis
position will have to be made in
case the building is decorated
for dancing.
On the other hand, there is
nothing to conflict with the hold
ing of the dances Kaster week,
according to the schedule of Uni
versity events which Mr. Woollen
has in his office.
The dances are not the only
incidents of Junior Week. The
Junior Oratorical Contest and
the class stunts are generally
ield at that time. The Senior
Stunt cannot be got ready wilhin
four weeks. The same may be
true of the other class produc
tions; and we have no reliable
information as to how nearly per
fected the junior orations are.
Another point worth consider
ing is the weather. Rain or snow
could militate more against the
success of Junior Week tiian any
other one factor. While, of course,
we are not able to make any ac
curate forecast as to the conduct
of the elements on March 1, that
season ol the year is rainy reg
ularly inclement. The last week
in April may be rainlv as well;
but, judging from the past, it is
less likely to be so.
The Tar Heel does not deny
that Apil 26 is fairly late in the
season to hold the spring dances;
but, under the circumstances, it
seems to be the only practicable
one.
THE FULLER SISTERS
Again the Y. M. C. A, is to be
congratulated on having secured
an attraction of unusual merit.
The entertainment given Tues
day night by the Misses Dorothy,
Cynthia, and Rosalind Fuller can
hardly be compared with the old
star courses, which, for the most
part, were mediocre at best. One
attraction of the former kind is
worth two of the other. Nor can
it be said that ballad singing did
not go well. There was as much
applause as ever greeted the
comedians and magicians who
appeared under Red path manage
ment.

Dr. E. A. Harrington will give
an illustrated lecture on the Lu
miere Process of Color Photogra

so that there will be no conflict.
Dr. Harrington has an excel
lent set of slides and has an ex
ceptional knowledge of color
photography. All are cordially
invited to attend, and can be as
sured of an interesting discussion
of the subject.

DR. LOEW GIVES LECTURES
Distinguished Paleographist,
On Ancient Manuscripts
Dr. E. A. Loew, lecturer at
Oxford, and research associate of
the Carnegie Institute, lectured
before the faculty and advanced
students in languages January
27, 28, and 2) on "Manuscripts
of Tacitus," "Ancient Art of
liookmaKinc" : and "How the
Classics Came Down to Us," res
pectively. In his last lecture Dr. Loew
stated that if he were a news
paper man, he might feature his
address thus: "Dark ages are not
so dark as they seem. We must
not throw stones at any age, for
ours is about as dark as any of
them." He brought out the fact
that it is because of our failure
to understand the Ancients that
we fail to appreciate their genius.
All his lectures were much
more interesting to the under
graduate than the subjects would
indicate; especially was this true
of the lecture on ancient book,
making. He made clear how the
dates, places and histories of
manuscripts are determined, aud
showed several lantern slide pic.
tures of famous old manuscripts.
In the earliest times wax plates
were used, according to Dr. Loew,
then the papyrus strips were
pressed and made into paper,
and later parchment was brought
into use to supply the lack of
papyrus. ; Hence most of the clas
sics, which were first written on
the papyrus, had to be copied for
preservation on vellum by scribes
during the dark ages. A few of
the old manuscripts, however,
have come down to us in a more
or less perfect form.
Mr. Loew's extensive work in
the field of paleography has en
abled him to present in a most
entertaining way many of the
problems peculiar to this line of
work. -.' " -
