Friday, December 3, 1920
To be entered as second-class matter at the
postoffice at Chapel Hill, N. O.
The Tar Heel is in receipt of an
anonymous letter from someone in
New York City, evidently an old North
Carolinian, who wishes to know,
"Aren't you ashamed, you good Tar
Heels," of the conditions existing in
the institutions of higher education in
North Carolina.
We have a problem in North Caro
lina which, we believe, the State is
waking up to. But whether it is
conscious of its situation or not, we
see no good "in poking fun at the
animals."
SAME DIFFERENCES
courtesy made a lasting impression on
every man and women who saw him.
In addition to being a splendid cneer
leader, and sticking to it straight
through, even though his team was
losing, he did two things which I feel
you and the students at home should
know about. Virginia was penalized
fifteen yards and some of the North
Carolina students began to cheer.
This leader immediately stopped them,
saying: "North Carolina does not cheer
penalties." Again, he was harrassea
and finally, we are afraid, bitten by a
bull dog that had gotten on the field,
and had been attracted to him by his
movements in the cheering. He show
ed such composure and poise that the
entire stand was impressed by it.
Permit me to say in conclusion that
if you have many more students like
him, then the University of North
Carolina is certainly blest. He was a
radiant ambassador in a far country,
and he won the hearst of all who saw
him. .
Yours very truly,

DO COLLEGE MEN THINK?
(An editorial by Prof. Franklin G.
Dunham,-Columbia University.)
At no time in the intellectual de
velopment of the citizens of our coun
try has the obligation of the college
and University towards politics been
so ereat. The guidance of the Ship
of State as in the hands of men who
have tried decisions in matters of
public policy. This has always been
so in our country and is the- secret
of the permanence of the nation. Pub
lie opinion is largely generated by
the attitude of men for whom the
great masses of people have sincere
admiration and unqualified respect.
How many men who mold public opin
ion are products of or are at present
living in our great college communi
ties? John Erskine in "The Moral Obli
gation to be Intelligent" would have
those of us who have been trained at
great costs to our families, ourselves,
or University Endowments, return in
some measure, the results of that
training to the community in which
we live the Nation to which we owe
allegiance. This Nation demands of
us that we bear arms in time of war;
why can it not demand that we use our
minds in time of peace? There is a
vast fund of evidence for and against
the League of Nations. There are
many minds whose mental convolu
tions are not affected by evidence nor
FACTS ABOUT DAVIDSON
The history of Davidson is one of
growth. Starting with a student body
of 66 and, a relatively small faculty,
she has grown step by step to the
grand old college as it is known to
day. The present students themselves
have witnessed large additions to the I
student body and faculty, but the col
lege has just begun to wake up to the
need of the times and D. C. is ex
pected to expand more in the next
10 years than she has done in the last
40. Davidson was founded in 1836
'37 with 66 students. , The following is
a . record of her growth since that
time: ....... . , ... . ., .......

Carolina ranking fourth among the
states of the Union in the value of
agricultural products in 1920. North
Carolina with its oldest state Univer
sity in America, connecting us back j
to the days of Davie, of Washington, j
of Jefferson, back to 1793. North
Carolina with an integrity, and
strength of character unequaled in all
America. North Carolina with its
cup of material wealth brimming over.
In the west there is another State
a very young State, with area, popu
lation, and wealth a little greater than
that of North Carolina. It has three
great universities within its borders,
each with a student population many
times ours; and yet, the plant of a
single one of these universities is
valued at two million dollars more
than all the colleges in the state of
North Carolina.
Two years ago, just after the death
of our Doctor Graham, the education
al statesman of the South, we set out
to raise $150,000 to build a students'
union building in his memory. Two
years of continued hard work, we be
lieve, has raised it. And yet, the cause
had a double appeal.
A few days ago a middle western
university started to raise money to
erect a students' union building in
memory of its sons who died in the
service, two years since. The sum
was placed at $1,000,000, and at the
rate of subscriptions so far, the sum
will be raised within the next few
days. The average student pledge
was $66. This is another young State,
with wealth only comparable to that
of North Carolina.
hind it). Propaganda is not always
a whole cloth of lies, but its origin
does not bespeak its sincerity.
It is a part of the training of the
College University to be in a posi
toin to make his decision on the basis
of the facts in the case. What those
facts are can only be found by a clear
analytical study of the causes, the
occasions and the events which have
led up to the crisis before us in the
settlement of the greatest war the
world ever engaged itself in. For
what? For aggrandizement, for im
agined wrong, for commercial supre
macy of a group of Nations, for re
prisal on a war-crazed foe no, none
of these, but for the purpose of pre
venting future wars in this world of
ours where men might live to
gether in peace, in perpetuating
great constructive enterprises, living
as God wished his children to live. '
Do College Men think? Yes, col
lege men are capable of thinking. Are
they thinking in this great political
crisis when the world's security rests
on a preference in Presidential candi
dates in one country ? Unless they do,
there is little hope that the rest of
the vast electorate will receive from
the University and College communi
ties any help, any guidance in making
this Nation's Great Decision.

"SCRUBBY" RIVES
We are happy to publish below copy
of a letter which President Chase re
ceived a few days since. We dare not
spoil it with our comment.
I am an alumnus of the University
of Virginia, and attended the game
between Virginia and North Caro
lina. played at Charlottesville last
Thursday. The Carolina team, while
defeated, put up, as it always does, a.
creditable game, with lots of courage
and fight.
But the man who won the hearts of
the Virginia crowd and who, to my
mind, was the most brilliant exponent
of the spirit of your institution was
the boy who led the cheerng of the
North Carolina students, and who
stood in front of the "I" and "J" sec
tions of the stand. No one in the Vir
ginia sections knew his name, but his
everlasting pluck and courage and

Dan Grant is just in receipt of a
letter from John P. Washburn, '20,
who is now with the International
Banking Corporation, London, in
which he says, among other things,
"You hear of the democracy of Eng
land, and those history "profs" swear
by it, but it is undoubtedly the biggest
sham I ever hope to see," and he also
adds that the higher colleges there
produce one of the jrreatest groups
of snobs in the world."
