With less promising material, this year's team has so far made a better showing that last year's. It has badly beaten Wake Forest ; it has made a most creditable stand against one of the strongest Korth era teams, Princeton, in what will probably prove to be the hardest game on Carolina's schedule. So far, so good. What the outcome of today's game with Harvard, will be is doubtful ; but what the conduct of Carolina's team in the game will be is assured. We know that it will do its best. And, we believe that its best is pervaded with the spirit of hard consistent work bull dog perseverance and operation in unity. This spirit has been mani fested daily on the Emerson Field ; it is the spirit that has caused the team to keep the pledge this year better than it is Usually kept ; and it is the spirit that, sooner or later, wins out ' Driven by the steam of enthusi asm and oiled in all its bearings with the oil of the spirit of unity, the Carolina machine should turn out this season some excellent sam ples of that rare article known as good, football. THE CAROLINA SPIRIT Thursday the University of Xorth Carolina celebrated its birthday, For about one hundred and twenty years, through war and peace, destitution and prosperity, our University has faithfully and efficiently Served the State, the Southland -the United States. What is it that has kept it do ing its own work in its own way, for so long ? What is it that has differentiated it from Wake Forest or the University of Virginia or the University of South Carolina ? What is it that caused the expres sion of love for the University con tained in the telegrams that Presi dent Graham read in Memorial Hall Thursday? ' The University of North, Caro lina spirit, is the answer, a Caro lina self-consciousness, a Universi ty soul. What this spirit is it is hard to say, for it has developed since 1793 with the development of the nation and the world. It is like an ancient castle to which many rooms, walls and towers have been added, but the foundations of which have remained the same. Perhaps not even those who have known the University long and lov ed it with the most comprehensive sympathy, Dr. Battle, Professor Williams, and President Graham, can describe this spirit in phases. But what a beautiful and power ful spirit it must be, this spirit of the University of North Caro lina, which for more than a cen tury has been the chief factor in the development of so many good and great men, which for more than a century has commanded the admiration of the South, and which has always elicited such un selfish and abiding love from the hearts of its students and alumni those who have seen it clearest ant known it best. To find out what this spirit has been is the province of the philo sophical historian. To find out what it is now is the duty every Carolina man owes to himself and the University. I think that it is composed of honesty, purity, free dom from caste and a good many things that I have not discovered yet. You may have entirely dif ferent views. The essential thing is that we do think about it clear ly, without prejudice. After all this Carolina spirit is not a mysterious, transcendental, cloud-covered vision. It is before us every day on the campus. We have only to open our eyes to see it. It manifests itself in Chapel every morning and in Pickwick every night, in the class-room and on the football field, in the North Carolina Club and in the fraterni ties, in the Tar Heel, the Maga zine, and the Yackety Yack. It is composed of all the things that Carolina men do or refrain from doing:. The onlv sensible thing for ev ery Carolina man to do is to figure out for himself what the Carolina spirit is now, this year. . If, after he has found out what it is, he does not admire it, if he thinks it incompatible with his own person ality and its higher development, then the only course, it seems, for him to pursue is the course that leads away from Chapel Hill to more congenial regions. But, if after searching it out, he loves that spirit and admires it and believes it a good thing for his personality, then certainly he should help it to infuse itself into his character, as the rain infuses it self into the fruit tree. And hrough his development will come about the development of the Caro- ina spirit. OF COURSE If you were to submit some ma terial to the editors of the maga zine it would probably not be publ ished BUT The magizine depends upon the student body for material, and you never can tell. The editors of vour magazine need your help from the contributing standpoint. Whether you can write or not is aside from the question. Submit something, be it good, fbad, or indifferent. Freshmen particularly are urged to accept this invitation. Sure enough, all joking aside, remem ber that the magazine, more than any other student publication is dependent for contributions upon the student hody rather than the t)oard of editors.

A Carolina "How much do you spend at Carolina a year ? And how f ' This is the subject open for dis cussion next week. The Tar Heel will be glad to hear what you think about this. Verily brethren, now cometh our most noble querist, saying: "This have I asker of ve, 'What is the greatest service a man can give to his University while in col lege V " and thus did ye reply : "I think the greatest think a man can do for the University," said one wide-a-awake brother, "is to be a booster. He can get so sat urated with the merits of the col lege that he fails to see the faults and boosts up the University not only while he is on the campus, but when he is out in the state." "If a man has money," one fel low said, "he could put it to no better use than giving it to the Universif v. We need it for dorm itories, wre need it for equipment, we need it for everything." "A man serves the University best," said another, "when he goes out for athletics or debates and wins in intercollegiate contests, thus reflecting credit on the school he represents." "The greatest service in my mind that a man can render his college is to always uphold its standards. Let him trv to live the the life of an ideal University man. Let him xiphoid the stand ards of morality and scholarship that the University stands for and he has done a lasting service." "The greatest thing a man can do for this institution," said an other summarizing brother, "is to give himself to it and take in ex change the highest and noblest it las to offer him."-' INTELLIGENCE TEST Say, you think you are some pumpkins, don't, you, Mr. Senior ?
