Its 136it
Activities of Founder of Univer
sity Related; Many Obstacles
Faced Before Institution
Started; Saturday Was Birth
day ' (By J. B. Allen)
The first siate university in
America to begin operation, the
University of North Carolina
yesterday celebrated its 136th
anniversary. f
When the people of North
Carolina drew up their first con
stitution as an independent state
in 1776 they made the following
provision for the education of
the puolic : "That a school or
schools shall be established by
the legislature for the conven
ient instruction of youth, with
such salaries to the masters,
paid by the public, as may en
able them to instruct at lnw
prices; and, all useful learning
shall be duly encouraged and
promoted in one or more uni
versities." The absence of records makes
it impossible to attribute direct
ly the responsivv . ,; t" this sec
tion. It is a supposition that the
measure was originated by the
Mecklenburg delegation which
was instructed to provide for a
"handsomely endowed" univer
sity to be situated in that coun
ty. It is also supposed that this
instruction .was given because of
the refusal of the British gov
ernment to grant a charter for
Queens College in that county,
or any institutions free from
control of the church. . ' ' " '
Provided for the Future
Whatever its origin might
have been it is true that, just
returned from a successful war
with the Indians, lately having
declared their independence,
threatened with British inva
sion, unorganized, and facing an
uncertain future, these Revolu
tionary statesmen did not neg
lect to provide for their unborn
children. Their government was
.an experiment in democracy and
they recognized the fact that the
liberty which they had declared
and which they were about to
defend could be perpetuated only
through education. They real
ized the necessity of training
leaders in order to make their
experiment a success.
It seems a remarkably signi
ficant fact that the University
was chartered in 1789 by the
same legislature that voted to
make North Carolina a part of
the Federal government. It is
also interesting to note that it
was just seven days afterthe
charter was granted before the
first 'meeting of the board of
trustees was convened.
After adapting themselves to
self-government two views de
veloped when the proposal for
carrying out the constitutional
provision for education came
before the people. One party
held that the .state should estab
lish and maintain free public
schools ; the other that the state
should charter private schools,
under the control of private in
dividuals but conducted for the
purpose of education rather than
for gain, and; in order that edu
cation be as cheap as possible,
the state should grant these

FILM OF TECH GAME

SICK BOYS HEAR
REPORT OF GAME
Even students who were con
fined to their beds in dormi
tories by colds and other illness
es Friday afternoon were able
to follow the fortunes of the vic
torious Carolina football team
embattled with Georgia Tech.
Constant questions were hurled
out of window by pajama-clad
figures as to "What's the
score ?" And happy answers
were thrown back from rooms
where radio receiving sets were
bringing in details of the game.
The tremendous victory for the
Tar Heels cured many of the ill
students . who took part in the
ereneral celebration during the
evening and morning.

ROMANCE OF N. C.
PLAYMAKERS
TOLD BY ROGH
Reviews History of Players
Here; Compares Work to
Physical Ability.
The romance of the Carolina
Playmakers, a drama in itself,
extending over a period of ever
more fruitf ul . years, was traced
ast night to a small audience
oy Jfroiessor redericK Kocn,
the father of the Tar Heel thea-
er movement. His talk was
amplified by a number of slides.
The program was interrupted
frequently by the shouts and tu
mult of students who were cele
brating Carolina's momentous
football victory on the campus.
Professor Koch took note of the
general celebration on the out
side which apparently " had
dwarfed the attendance at the
illustrated lecture, by saying
that they were celebrating a
physical victory in the' same
way that those who patronized
the Playmakers' theater cele
brated a victory of art.
The speaker said that is was
the adventure of watching the
Carolina Playmakers develop
thru the years which was most
interesting.. "This is a Theater
of .youth and the, story of the
Carolina Playmakers is the ad
venture of that youth," he said.
Referring again to the celebra
tion outside, Professor Koch
stated that it was difficult for
fine arts to compete with! phy
sical arts, but that both were
alike in that each was , boosting
Carolina. -
Origin of the theater was
traced back to the Greeks by
the speaker. Interrupted for a
moment by a vigorous yell for
Carolina from students outside
the theater, . Professor- Koch
said that the Greeks,, too,
cheered lustily . for athletic
achievement but they also
cheered with the same enthusi
asm for the poetry of their the
ater. .
The pioneering work that has
been done by the Carolina "Play
makers, the lecturer said, has
given the theater in America
an example of how the "play of
locality, if truly pictured, be
comes of interest to areas be
yond the confines of the home
state."
"All art of permanent signifi
cance, must be first the art of
locality," Professor Koch said
in explaining to the audience
what has enabled the Playmak
ers to make as much success as
they have.
The speaker also outlined the

Library Cost $625,000
The University's new library
was erected at a cost of $625,
000, -but so confident are its
creators of the future of the Uni
versity and of the importance of
a library in that future, that the
new building is but one unit of
a great library to come. Clos- '
ing the quadrangle, the, sides of
which are South building, Ven
able hall, and the group of build- -ings
which includes Steele dor
mitory ana murpney nan, it ex
tends over a front of 210 feet
and to a depth in the center of
140 feet, and rises to the height
of four stories, including base
ment. Yet some day it will be
necessary to build wings on
either side to a depth? of 150 to
200 feet, and, later still, to close
these wings at the rear with a
section as large as the front of
the present building. The stacks
now being erected for books are
nine stories high and will shelve
approximately 400,000 volumes.
Later extensions can be provid
ed at the rear to a depth of .150
fppt nnrf a "hpicrht nf frnm nine
. cj .
to sixteen stories, with a capa
city of more than a million vol
umes, when the future demands
it. . '
Designed by Atwood and Nash
The building was designed by
Atwood and Nash, Inc., Univer
sity architects and engineers,
with the firm of McKim, Mead,
and White of New York as con
sulting architects. T. C. Thomp
son and Brothers were the con
structors. ,
The front of the building is
of limestone, the main entrance
being through a classical porti
co of Corinthian columns. This
portico is approached by way of
an imposing flight of steps sim
ilar to that of the law building,
but proportionately larger, and.
forms the central motive of the
north facade of the library.
A low -dome crowns the build
ing, the top of whichls approx
imately 90 feet above the ground
level. '
The Three Floors
The main entrance leads to an
entrance hall, with marble and
