Gerald Johnson Writes
Of Dr. Gliase's Career
in imerican lviercury
Henry Clement Satterfield, Jr., of
Durham, was awarded the Patterson
Athletic Trophy last night in Me
morial Hall at the annual Awards
Night. The medalr is given to the
most outstanding athlete in the Senior
Class. A committee composed of
Graduate Manager C. T. Woollen, Di
rector of Athletics R. A. Fetzer, and
the coaches makes the selection.
Satterfield played freshman foot
ball, basketball and baseball. Devot
ing his time to basketball and base
ball his second year he won a Varsity
berth on both teams. In basketball
he playedf orward 'and " his consist
ent work at the position won him
mention on several all-Southern
teams despite Carolina's f ailure "to
win the tournament any one of the
three years he played.
For two years "Sat" played reg
ular on the baseball team. His spec
tacular hitting and equally spectacu
lar fielding made him one of the most
valuable men on the Tar Heel nine.
This spring he was shifted to third
base where he performed brilliant-
ly. ' . ... ...
Besides his athletic work "Sat" is
active in other student activities. He
is a member of the Golden Fleece,
Minotaurs, Gimghouls, and Kappa
Sigma Fraternity. He was President
of his Sophomore Class, Secretary of
the Freshman class, and will be a
Commencement Ball Manager.
The winner of the trophy last year
was Galen Elliott, outstanding track
man. :
Dr. Knight Speaks
On N. C. History
Former Professor of Journalism
Here Presents Character
Sketch and Reviews Career of
Carolina's President.
- In an article in the current issue
of the American Mercury, Gerald W.
Johnson, a native Tar Heel, who is
now on the editorial staff of the Balti
more Evening Sun, presents a char
acter sketch and reviews the career of
Dr. Harry W. Chase, president of the
University.
Mr. Johnson pegs the article which
is . entitledLi'Chase of North Carolina,"
on Dr. Chase's recent refusal of : the
offer.. tO'Jbecometdirector of a big
New York foundation at a $20,000
salary. . , r
"It was," writes Mr. Johnson, who
was for two years professor of jour
nalism at the University, "as if a
bishop had refused the red hat, or a
lawyer an appointment to the supreme
bench. Directors of foundations are
the shiniest officials in all the peda
gogical world; yet, rather than be
one, Chase preferred to continue as
president of a state university in the
south to continue, that is to say, as
the target for all the bricks, bottles,
and dead cats which the enemies of
intelligence are able to hurl.".
. Here are some extracts from the
article:
"Physically he resembles nothing
so much as a particularly holy saint
done by a thirteenth century sculp
tor long, narrow and immensely
pious. His prematurely silvery hair
gives him the effect of a halo, and
his soft voice seems admirably adapt
ed to preaching to the birds. . . . Af
ter all, an ascetic appearance is not

"Today the University of North
Dr. E. W. Knight, of the School of
Education, spoke in chapel yesterday
as the last of the series of faculty
speakers who have lectured on con
temporary North Carolina this spring.
The meeting yesterday was the last
chapel of the present year.
Dr. Knight stated that North Caro
lina ranks very low in education now,
even if tremendous progress has been
made in the past twenty-five years.
"Public opinion can be aroused to the
point where the people will demand
the best in educational facilities, and
the best is none too good for North
Carolina," stated the speaker.
The improvements in the school
system of which North Carolinians
are sometimes proud, was pointed out
by Dr. Knight as only a merger be
ginning. The $35,000,000 that North
Carolina is spending for schools this
year should be $70,000,000 to bring
the state up to the national standard.
One third of the school children of
North Carolina are getting only six
months of school, but it is not only in
the quantity of the education that the
state falls short, the quality of the
public school work in the state is be
low the national average.
Two years ago a report was issued
which stated that the average fresh
man entering a college or university
in the state had only the education of
a sophomore in high school, and the
writing of some of those entering the
institutions of higher learning was
comparable to, that of a child in the

Carolina is recognized as the most
aggressive and vigorous university
in the south, and among the most
aggressive and vigorous in the coun
try. It is particularly strong in the
social sciences, and its research work
in that field now commands respectful
attention everywhere. In addition, it
has gradually collected a group of
literary gents essayists, poets, dram
atists, critics and similar addicts to
beautiful letters whose average level

Dr. Cobb to Preside
At Educational Meet
Dr. Collier Cobb, head of the Geo
logy department of the University,
has been asked to preside over the
Geography section of the annual ses
sion of the National Educational As
sociation. The meeting is to be held
in Atlanta, Ga., July 3, 1929.
Dr. Cobb, who is a director of the
National Council of Geography Teach
ers, states that the general subject of
the discussion this year, will be "The
need for Geographical open Handed
ness in the solution of local, national,
and international problems." Dr. A.
E. Parkins of George Peabody School
for Teachers, Miss Willa Bolton of
Hattiesburg, Miss., and Dr. Ehrlich
Smith" of Randolph Macon Academy
will be the principal speakers of the
gathering.
Among the many organizations on
the campus that have performed
throughout the state during the past
year, perhaps the most active of
these has been the Y. M. C. A. Quar
tet, composed of Wofford Humphries,
of Asheville; Steve Lynch, of Ashe
ville; Jack Connolly, of Taylorsville ;
and John Miller, of Winston-Salem.
This quartet has filled numerous en
gagements throughout the state and
has always been invited to return and
give more programs of classical and
popular music. These singers have
particularly specialized in the singing
of well known songs and have sere
naded practically every college in the
state.
Peace Institute, N. C. C. W., and the
University Co-ed dormitory have been
places at which the quartet has sung
most frequently. They have filled
radio engagements at Raleigh and
other stations and have been enthu
siasticall yacclaimed by a host of
listeners-in throughout the South.
They recently sang at the North Caro
lina Bankers Association banquet in
the Washington Duke Hotel and were
highly complimented on their work.
The music which they sing varies
from the negro spirituals and religious
songs to the more popular song hits
of the season. They arrange their
own numbers and have been highly
praised for the novelty arrangements
which they have made. They claim
to have filled more engagements than
any other musical organization on the
campus, and it is a well known fact
that they have done as much toward
spreading the fame of the University
throughout the South as a training
place for all-round talented perform
ers as any other group of students at
the University.
Pony Show Thursday
An "educated" pony will be ex
hibited here Thursday night in
Memorial Hall at 7:30 o'clock. The
pony is being brought here under
the auspices of the local Boy
Scout troop, and the proceeds of
the exhibition will be used for the
benefit of the children's library
and the Boy Scouts. The admis
sion will be twenty-five and .thirty
five cents.
Final preparations are now being
made for the 'final dances to be held
June 10, 11, and 12. The first dance
is to be held Monday night. Tuesday
is a rather strenuous day, three
dances being scheduled, Tuesday
morning, afternoon and night. ,
As has been heretofore announced,
Weidemeyer and his orchestra will
furnish the music. This orchestra has
grown extremely popular during-the
past winter and has added one man
to its number since playing at the
finals of last yeaxJDuriDg,.thesum
mer they7 play at Wrightsville Beach,
one of North Carolina's premier re
sorts. Baron Holmes and Frazier Glenn
are in charge of the decorations and
Swain Hall will be attractively de
corated in a futuristic scheme.
Many of the social fraternities have
announced that they are having house
parties. Many girls from all . over
the country are expected to attend
these, and it is expected that the
dances will be the best given by the
German Club in many years.
Billy Marshall announces he will be
at the Sigma Nu house almost every
afternoon until after exams, and that
all those who wish to join the German
Club and have not done so, will please
see him at once. Also, members who
have not paid their dues should pay
up immediately.
Pioneer Locomotive
To Visit Here Soon
Charleston's "Best Friend", first
locomotive built in the United States
for actual service, will be brought to
Chapel Hill June 5th by the Southern
Railway. The old locomotive is mak
ing a tour of the Southern States and
Chapel Hill is included on the sched
ule of stops. However, those inter
ested in seeing the locomotive will
find that the stop at Chapel Hill is
only for part of the day as Durham is
also to share June 5th.
The fiocomotive will be brought to
University Station June 4 from
Greensboro. From Chapel Hill it
will be taken to Durham and thence
to Raleigh.
The "Best Friend" was built at
West Point Foundry in New York in
1830 for the South Carolina Canal
and Railroad, now the Charleston divi
sion ' of the Southern Railway. It
was transported to Charleston by
ship, there being no connecting rail
roads at that time.
The original "Best Friend" made
its first schedule trip on Christmas
day of 1830, and rendered good ser
vice until June 1831. when it was de
stroyed by the explosion of its boiler.
The pioneer locomotive and its train
have been reproduced by the Southern.
It . is running under its own steam
over the South.
It attracted much attention last
fall when a tour was made over the
Southern System in South Carolina.
It was . placed on display,, in Union
Station, Washington, D. C."f last win
