DRAMATIC BARITONE
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
MONDAY IN GERRARD
AUDIENCE IS HELD IN ENTHUS
IASM BY GREAT
SINGER
VOICE OF BEAUTY AND POWER
David Bisham, of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, proved to Chapel
Hill in his concert of Monday night
that the time for his withdrawal from
the boards is still far off and that he
is still to be numbered among the
world's greatest dramatic baritones
The recital more than came up to ex
pectations and the high standard set
bv former programs put on by the
University Department of Music,
under whose auspices he appeared
Rarely has an artist kept the sus
tained and enthusiastic interest or a
student body as did he.
Bishpam's voice is one of rugged
strength and powerful tonal quali
ties, at its best on the lower ranges,
yet his most effective bits seemed not
to be those demanding all his re
serve forces, not when he rose to
dramatic intensity, but rather when
a smooth folk-song gave him the op
portunity to use a warm, richly-deep
mezzo-baritone, if one may use such
a word, that was not husky, that
seemed effortless, especially evident
in his rendition of the "Banjo-Song."
There were many factors entering
into the evening's pleasing impres
sion. Not least among these was the
large number of selections which lent
themselves to his skillful dramatic
interpretation. David Bisham posses
histrionic ability of no mean degree.
Another was the delightfully informal
manner in which he carried the whole
thing off; never stitled, never singing
over his audience s head, rather seem
ing to take them into partnership with
him, livening up the air after a tense
moment with a minute of quiet humor
or reminiscences.

On the evening of November 6th,
Dr. J. B. Bullitt, entertained the mem

interesting talk on the life and work
of Louis Pasteur. Taking up the story

Dr. Bullitt carried his listeners

From South American universities
and libraries the University of North
Carolina has received as gifts for its
library a number of valuable Latin
American books which come as a re
sult of the South American trip of
Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt, of the uni
versity faculty, recently returned
from 16 months in Peru, Bolivia,
Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay.
One group of books, some 30
volumes, is obtained by the kindness
of the rector of the University of
Chile, Dr. Domingo Amunategui
Solar. "The importance of this col
lection for the student of Spanish
American literature and history can
hardly be overestimated, said Dr,
Leavitt. "In Barros Arana and M.
L. Amunategui, some of whose works
are included, Chile counts two of its
most distinguished historians; as ac
tive leaders in political life they
acutely interpret the thought and
progress of their country.
From the National Library of
Chile are two sets of bibliography,
one of them including 26 volmes. They
are the gift of Carlos Silva Cruz,
director of the National Library, and
of Ramon Laval, secretary.
The gifts, aside from their actual
value and their comparative rareness
in this country, are considered im
portant at the University as estab
lishing a link between the Univer
sity of North Carolina and South
American institutions. Dr. Leavitt
has arranged also for the exchange
of the University's scholarly journals,
Studies in Philology, the Elisha
Mitchell Journal, and the Sprunt
Historica Papers, with similar jour
nals in South America. Some years
ago the University obtained a number
of volumes from Harvard on South
America, and the present gift goes
a long way toward building up an im
pressive South American section in
the Library.
UNIVERSITY CELEBRATED
ARMISTICE DAY
The banquet and dance of the
A. E. F. club given last night in
the "Y" and the exercises in
Memorial Hall, featured by the
address of Dr. W. L. Poteat, of
Wake Forest, were the high
spots in the celebration of the
second anniversary (of the
Armistice in Chapel Hill.
Last year there was no offi
cial recognition f the day, but
this year the last hour of the
morning was devoted to a com
memoration of the occasion. The
exercises were witnessed by
many townspeople and a major
ity of the student body. Dr.
Poteat, always a forceful
speaker, made an excellent and
' timely patriotic address.
A short playlet, put on by
several members of the A. E. F.
helped to make the banquet one
of the most enjoyable given recently.

SENIORS DEFEAT FRESHMEN
MONDAY BY 12 TO 7 SCORE
GAME CHARACTERIZED BY FOR.
WARD PASSES AND LONG
RUNS
In a game characterized by forward
passing and several splendid runs,
the Seniors defeated the Freshmen
12-7 this afternoon. .The crowd was
kept in a constant uproar applauding
the ground gaming feats that has
been so conspicuously absent from
to Pasteur's work in Paris, later in the class games so far.
Strasbourg, again at Lille and then
back to Paris. To enumerate the ac
tivities of this most extraordinary
Frenchman is in itself a rather
lengthy task, and the doctor had to
content himself with touching on
some of the more important discov
eries that Pasteur gave to the civiliz
ed world.
From the laboratory of this one
man came such amazing discoveries
as that of the pathogenicity of the
anthrax germ; he was able to refute
definitely the proposition of spontan
eous generation which had held the
minds of scientists for centuries;
again his work in the South of France
on the silk work disease rejuvenated
this industry and saved the state mil
lions of francs annually. Possibly he
is oest known though by his work on
rabies or hydrophobia, by accident
almost he stumbled on to the immune
serum which has successfully com
batted this scourge. Since his day
Pasteur institutes have gone up all
over this country and Europe.
The especial point about Pasteur's
work that Dr. Bullitt stressed was
the fact that he never gave anything
to the world which was half-baked.
Every fact that came from his lab
oratory had been proved in the most
drastic tests and he knew constantly
whereof he spoke. It would be well
if some of our modern scientists
would adopt this attitude more, and
test to the finish every fact before
putting it into print.
The score doesn't tell the half of it.
The Freshmen started the scoring
when their left end received a for
ward pass and raced twenty yards for
a touchdown. It was the second pass
completed in , as many tries. The
Seniors were not discouraged and
came back in the same quarter with a
score in the last twenty second of the
half. Captain Bill Royal received a
forward pass on the fifty yard line
and ran for a touchdown through the
entire freshman team. When Rob-
bins failed to kick goal, the score
stood 7-6 in favor of the Freshmen.
Blythe added the other points to
the Seniors' score; he recovered a
fumble on the Freshmen ten yard line
and ran across the goal line. Again
the kick for goal failed.

Dr. Howard W. Odum, Director of
the School of Public Welfare at the
University, has an article in a recent i
number of the "Bulletin" of The
North Carolina State Board of Chari
ties and Public Welfare, entitled:
"University Co-operation in Public
Welfare".
In his article Dr. Odum says:
Progress in any and all aspects of
public welfare is always a justifiable
cause for rejoicing. , Progress in defi
nite state legislation and concrete
means of promoting the common good
in North Carolina has proved a special
cause for rejoicing in this State dur
ing the last two years, and for recom
mendation from other states and from
agencies, institutions and individuals
working for social progress. And of
all those who have rejoiced exceeding
ly in the advanced legislation, in the
creation of a Department of Charities
and Public Welfare, with effective ,
organization, and in the successful in
itiation of its important work, per
haps none can be found more enthu
siastic than the University of North
Carolina.
In commenting on the University
School of Public Welfare he says:
In this step toward co-operation,
two notable contributions are being
made: The one is the projection into
the training of social workers of the
ideals of the University professional
school; and the other, the similar pro
jection into the university profession
al school of the ideals of programs of
public welfare. The two together
make something little short of an
epoch in the practical and theoretical
As I watched Jimmy Leach and
Stewart run through our good team
last Saturday I envied them their
ability and wished that I could be a
star back on a football team," began
Francis Bradshaw, Dean of Student
in his Chapel Speech Wednesday, ex
tracts of which follow.
Several days ago, while at the
.'Gym," I watched "Shorty" Spruill
do a hip, .a forward circle and the
giant swing with such wonderful
grace and skill that it made me want
to start right in to be a "Gym" man.
I sat in this Hall (Gerrard) last
Monday night listening to a wonder
ful singer's interpretation of great
operas and simple songs, and it seem
ed to me that I had rather to be able
to do that like he did than any other
thing in the world. I almost de
cided to take voice under Mr. Hamil
ton. Last Sunday morning I had the
privilege of hearing Dr. Moss preach
and as I listened to him make the
elements and meanings of simple
incident in the life of Jesus so applic
able to our own lives and times, it
seemed to me that the preacher had
the most wonderful job in the world.
I could multiply these incidents
interminably.
Now why do we admire these
people? Because these is something
in us that craves expression. What
makes an artist?
Enthusiasm and Industry. In en
thusiasm that is so intense as to blot
out of a man's mind all the distrac
tions of side lines and an industry so
unflagging that no detail is over
looked. Enthusiasm without indus
try is hot air. Industry without en
thusiasm is drudgery. But there is
nothing that can stand against the
man who has both enthusiasm and
Industry.

CAROLINA TO BATTLE
DAVIDSON ELEVEN IN
WINSTON TOMORROW
PHARR THE ONLY VARSITY MAN
STILL ON THE SICK
LIST
SCORES GIVE DAVIDSON EDGE
Carolina journeys to Winston
Salem tomorrow for the annual en
counter with the strong Davidson
eleven. Coach Fuller's squad has
rounded into excellent shape since
last Saturday's fray with the Cadets,
and all the injured, with the exception
of Pharr, have recoveed and will be
in the game against the Davidson
ians. According to comparative scores
the Red and Black has a slight edge
on Carolina. Davidson walked away
with the Wake Forest and South
Carolina contests while the Univer
sity barely eked out victories over
these elevens. The State College
scores however, show up to the ad
vantage of Carolina.
The line-up to be used is as yet
uncertain, though it is rumored that
Lowe, Tenney, Spaugh. and McGee
will operate in the back field, and the
line, with the exception of the ends,
will remain as previously. On the
flanks it is probable that the season's
veterans, Cochrane and Hutchins will
start the. game, with Liipfert and
Crayton almost sure to get in.
Since this game is the last before
the season's climax at Charlottesville,
Thanksgiving, it's outcome is awaited
with considerable interest. It is Caro
lina's first game since the Yale con
test without at least two of her first
string men on the casualty list, and
the result certainly will offer more
food for dope, and more evidence of
her real ability than any of the three
past encounters.

To quote Dr. Wilson, Mr. Whitaker
"was practising one of the arts cher

he asks that the designation of each

voter, so as to let the voter deposit
his own ballot in the proper place,
and "so save the official the time of
