GRADUATE SCHOOL
ANNOUNCES VARIED
FIELD FOR STUDY
OVER 18 COURSES ANNOUNCED
COVERING FIELDS OF LAN
GUAGE AND SCIENCE
SCHOOL WAS ORGANIZED IN 1904
Fifteen Men Have Registered In
School; Reorganized Under Dr.
Edwin Greenlaw
Under Dean Edwin Greenlaw the
University Graduate School has an
nounced an elaborate and varied
field for graduate study and research.
Containing courses in Botany, Chem
istry, Economics, Education, Electri
cal Engineering, English, Geology,
Germanic Languages and Literature,
Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics,
Philosophy, Physics, Psychology, Ro
mance Languages and Literatures,
Rural Social Science, and Zoology,
the Graduate School Bulletin has
recently been issued, and sets forth
along with a list of the courses a
description of the equipment of the
University and explanations of the
courses given. 1
The graduate degrees offered are
Master of Arts, Master of Science,
and Doctor of Philosophy. The
Graduate School has as its general
purpose the carrying on of research
and training in the method of inves
tigation. Besides this primary duty
of encouraging the spirit of research
and the training of investigators, the
Graduate School has as its purpose
the training of teachers for secondary
schools and colleges. For more than
a century the spirit of investigation
has been a very real element in the
life of the University, constituting a
tradition of rich value from which
future work is to derive inspiration
and authority. In 1904 the Graduate
School -was formally organized as a
distinct school of the University and
Professor C. Alphonso Smith was
appointed as its first Dean. The
very opening of the school up to the
present success and growth has been
its constant attendant. Below are
the names of the men who will be
teaching fellows for the year 1920
1921: Botany J. M. Couch, Chapel Hill.
A. B. University of North Carolina,
1919; Assistant in Botany, ibid.,
1919-20. Graduate student, ibid.,

The Psychology Dept.
Will Be Separate From
The Philosophy Dept.
The department of Psychology will
be next year separate and, apart
from the department of Philosophy.
Heretofore, the two departments
have been combined under the head
of the department of Philosophy.
The development of the department
of Psychology will be in two general
directions. The first will be in
widening the scope of the depart
mentin the formation of more
courses. To do this more instructors
are needed. A graduate fellow will
be obtained before next academic
year who will spend part of his
time in this work. The second direc
tion will be towards building up an
experimental laboratory second to
none other in the southern universi
ties. On account of the interruption
caused by the formation or organi
zation of the S. A. T. C. and the
conditions attending a return to the
normal state of affairs before the
war, the psychological work has been
handicapped by the lack of an
experimental laboratory and a suffi
cient number of instructors. Owing
' to these facts our psychology depart
ment has fallen behind the depart
ments of at least six southern col
leges and universities. One foremost
interest of the department is to
supply the needs of professional
schools and departments in the University.

CAPTAIN FEIMSTER
Captain Feimster, of Carolina's
varsity baseball' team for this year
concluded his "career on the diamond
by successfully guiding the team
along , the channels of success until
the wreath of state champions in
college baseball had been placed upon
the banners of the Carolina varsity
squad. This completes Feimster's
fifth year here. He is a student in
the law school. He will enter into
partnership with his father in the
practice of his profession at Newton,
N. C. .
DR. WILSON RETURNS
FROM NORTHERN TRIP
Dr. L. R. Wilson has just returned
from the University of Michigan
where he attended a meeting of the
Association of Alumni Secretaries,
before which he delivered a paper on
"A New Seriousness in Alumni
Work." While there Dr. Wilson was,
with the other representatives enter
tained in the new students' building
recently erected to take care in a
physical way of all student activities.
At the University of Michigan, there
are about nine thousand students, but
with this perfectly equipped million
dollar building many of the disad
vantages of so large a student body
are avoided. This handsome five
story building under the supervision
of a general secretary furnishes an
every day meeting place for from
fifteen to eighteen hundred students
at a time and can easily and prop
erly care for visitors and delegates
who may be the guests of the Uni
versity, i Well appointed in every
in every detail, with a tap-room
furnishing good food at low cost, a
barber shop which as every thing
else is kept spotlessly clean, a swim
ming pool, a bowling alley, and many
other features for the amusement
and convenience of the students, the
building serves to ' democratize the
crowd as nothing; else would do.
In addition there , are dining rooms
including a dining room for ladies,
a big "assembly room where dances
are held twice a week, offices, and
committee rooms with capacity up to

Virginia Reel Is New
Humorous Publication
The Virginia Reel is the latest
humorous publication, and is published
at the University of .Virginia. The
first issue is just out, and though
no issues will come out this summer,
publication will again begin next fall
with the opening of the Univer
sity. The Virginia Reel is much like
our own Tar Baby, and it is believed
that the Virginians got their cue to
enter the humorous magazine field
from us. The first issue is unusually
clever, and bespeaks a cordial wel
come for the magazine. The cover
design is in the class of Life and
Judge, and the jokes and cartoons
that fill the pages are good. We
predict a great deal of success for
the Virginia Reel, and wish the
same.
ATHLETIC RESUMES
OF THIS YEAR SHOW
CAROLINA'S STANDING
FOOTBALL TEAM ONE OF BEST
YET; LOST THREE GAMES
DURING SEASON
CHAMPIONS IN THREE FIELDS
The Baseball, Football, and Track
Laurels Go To The Blue
and White
As the school year of the Univer
sity nears the close the Tar Heels
are able to look back over the
athletic record of the term with a
very great degree of satisfaction.
Three state champion teams have
worn the Blue and White this , year
football, baseball, and track -and this
gives Carolina the undisputed su
premacy over all ' the other North
Carolina collegiate institutions. The
Carolina basketeer went strong dur
ing the season also, but finally
dropped the championship honors to
Trinity.
The football resume which follows
shows that the team last fall was
without doubt one of the best ever
put out at this Institution, and
although it lost three games during
the season two of these were won
by Rutgers and Yale who are ad
mittedly among the best football
schools of the country:
October 4th Rutgers 19, Caro
lina 0.
October 11th Yale 34, Carolina 7.
October 13th Wake Forest 0, Caro
lina 6.
October 23d N. C. State 12, Caro
lina 13.
November 1st Tennessee 0, Caro
lina 0.
November 8th V. M. I. 29, Caro
lina 7. .
November 15th Davidson 0, Caro
lina 10.
November 27th--Virginia 0, Caro
lina 6.
The outstanding games of the
season are, of course, the State Col
lege game and the Virginia game,
and in both of these contests the aTr
Heels emerged victorious. It was
Tommie Campbell's second great
team, and the Blue and White fol
lowers will always remember him.
In baseball, Captain Carmichael's
team, although it did not bring home
the championship, did good work and
pushed Trinity very strongly. The
prospects for next year's team under

PROF. McCLUNG SPEAKS
TO MITCHELL SOCIETY
ALSO INSTALLS SIGMA XI, NA
TIONAL SCIENTIFIC HONOR
ARY FRATERNITY
Professor McClung, of the Zoology
department of the University of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the na
tional research council of agriculture,
botany and " zoology, addressed the
Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society of
this University Tuesday night, May
25th, on the subject of "Heredity."
He also installed while here the local
chapter of Sigma . XI Fraternity of
which he is president. Sigma XI is
the national honor fraternity for
scientific work, occupying- the same
relative, position in the scientific
world that Phi Beta Kappa does in
the arts college. It was founder at
Cornell in 1868 and has chapters at
virtually every important university
in the country, especially those with
strong scientific departments. It is
not a secret order and membership
is based on achievement. Drs. James
M. Bell and Joseph Hyde Pratt of
the University faculty are already
members, the former from Cornell,
the latter from Yale. Besides these,
the charter members of the Univer
sity will be Drs. Francis P. Venable,
and A. S. Wheeler, of the Chemistry
department, Dr. W. C. Coker, of the
Botany department, Dr. W. D. Mac
Nider of the Medical school, Dr. H.
V. Wilson of the Zoology depart
ment, and Professor William Cain
of the Mathematics department.
Student members will be elected
later in the spring. Texas is the
only other University in the south
which has a chapter.
Dr. Henderson Writes
Article On W. S. Porter
One of the leading articles in the
May issue of the Southern Review
is a contribution by Dr. Archibald
Henderson, entitled "O. Henry After
a Decade." In this article Dr. Hen
derson in. his own individual style
presents an interesting account of
William Sidney Porter's personal
career and personal characteristics,
complimentary criticisms of his bril
liant work and unique style, and
showed the position he now occupies
among America's greatest writers.
Quoting eminent literary critics, he
shows that after the test of study,
criticism, and reflection during the
ten years since the author's death
his works still retain their position
among America's greatest literature.
In speaking of the moral significance
of his narratives, he says that O.
Henry was a moral force in Ameri
can literature that will move men
and women to passion and tears as
long as literature and justice shall
be loved.
GRAVES SAYS IT FLOWS
FREELY IN N. CAROLINA
In the issue of May 26th, of the
New Republic is an article by Lous
Graves, a Carolina alumnus, and a
well known journalist of New York.
The article entitled, "Getting the Stuff
in Carolina," deals with the illicit
whiskey traffic in the Carolinas and
describes the conditions as he ob
served them during his , recent trip
down to the Old North State.
He says that the internal revenue
office at Washington places North
Carolina at the top of, the list of
states in the capacity of illicit
wihskey stills. And by the same
authority, . he says, Orange was
shown to be the banner county of
the . state. However, he says, that
alcohol is dying, but it is dying
hard. He divides the people of North
Carolina into three classes as regards
prohibition: (1) Those that believe
in prohibition for everybody. (2)
Those who don't believe in it for
anybody. (3) Those who believe in
it for everybody but themselves. He
believes that the first is the view of
the majority of North Carolina
people, that the second is negligible,
and that the third is a vastly arti
culate minority.
Mr. Graves describes how the mak
ing selling and consumption of
illicit whiskey is carried on.
He describes the conditions in
Orange County, stating that in the
northern end of the county the
moonshiners pursue their vocation no
less conscientiously" than do the
students and professors of the State
University at the southern end of
the county. The moonshiners of
Orange are not the . quick-on-the-trigger
kind as one one finds in the
western part of the state, but rather
they are the quiet kind that are in
the business for profit and if caught
up with, will not fight, but run off
and later make another still.
Interesting Relic to
Be Found in Library
An interesting relic of the days
before the invention of the printing
press is found framed in the lobby
of the library. This is a leaf from
an old manuscript of the Bible which
is hand lettered on parchment in a
kind of medieval Latin. It was
copied probably by some monk in a
monestary on the continent in the
latter part of the 13th or early part
of the 14th century. The one leaf
takes in verses from Hosea 12:11 to
Joel 1:7 inclusive. It is a beautiful
piece of illuminated lettering which
is almost as clear as modern print
ing. This history of this manuscript
is uncertain, it reached the library
through a collection of old books, it
being found between the leaves of
one of them.
Mr. Harrar is working on this
manuscript in order to find if possi
ble when it was copied and from
what country it comes.
The Honor Commission at the
University of Illinois, upon investi
gating 54 cases of alleged cribbing,
dismissed 10 students from the
university for flagrant violation of
the honor system, denied credit to
12 and acquitted 32.

Students Discuss
What Shall Go In
I; Graham Building
With the campaign for the Graham
Memorial nearing a successful' con
clusion, more definite plans are being
mooted as to the final form the
Memorial Building will take and the
ideas it will embody." The campus
is naturally deeply interested in a
question which will be so closely
associated wifth the; future life of
the campus. The student body has
thrown itself whole heartedly into
the two drives which have resulted
in a thirty thousand dollar subscrip
tion from, the campus alone. It is
now confronted now with the ques
tion of what is the biggest and
most pressing need of . the campus.
It is of course settled that the
form of the memorial in general will
be that of a students' building. But
what type of activities will be rep
resented therein? What form of
student activities or recreations will
be embodied? The alumni discussion
of the matter has disclosed at least
three views, and these three will
undoubtedly denote the cleavage of
student opinion.
The first of these, is that the
memorial will be entirely devoted to
the recreational needs of the stu
dents. That the building will be
designed and equipped, to secure a
change from the usual activities of
the campus. That the building will
