To the alumni and friends of
the University who are visiting
Chapel Hill this week the Daily
Tar Heel offers a belated wel
come. To those who become

accomplishments of those to
whom it has granted degrees.
Your achievements will reflect
glory on the University. Like
wise, your failures will detract
'glory from it. As you have been
to the University for the past
four years, so will you be to it
throughout your life.
Your college education will be
just what you make it. When
you receive your degrees this

jfor the preliminary training
which you have received from
Carolina. But your relationship
to your alma mater does not end
today. Henceforth you are
-Carolina alumni.
As alumni of the University
you can do a great deal more for
us than those who are students.

present crisis, we await anxious-
ly your decision.
Well, With
Your Help
The new president of the Uni
versity with these words, simply
and feelingly delivered, has ac
cepted the position of honor and
responsibility for which he is
well-fitted. The alumni and the
students receive the news of
Professor Graham's election

felt appreciation for what he has

body as a whole, who has given
.greater evidence of ability, or
' who understands the University
and its needs more than Profes
sor Frank Porter Graham. The
Daily Tar Heel, speaking for the
student body, welcomes Presi
dent Graham and pledges itself
to help him fulfill, insofar as it
is possible, the promise and hope
expressed in the simple words
with which he accepted the
eleventh presidency of the Uni-

Carolina's Sons
Return
For several days now the staid
old University campus has been
dotted here and there by alumni
of various classes, chatting and
reminiscencing concerning the
pleasures of former days.
Strange as it may seem to the
present student body of the
University, the things which lin-
ger longest in the minds of
alumni are not "book larnin' "
and frolics ; most of them talk of
the impressions which great
teachers made upon them while
they were young and tender.!
liams are certain to be mention
ed in any chat between the "old
boys." i
Many alumni see before them
this morning a campus which
bears little resemblance to that
which they knew a seemingly
negligible number of years ago.
The small liberal arts college
which was the University of
North Carolina in other days
has become the South's leading
institution of higher learning.
This transformation is, due
largely to the efforts of Caro
lina's sons who have gone out
into the businesses ol! the state.
Well may the class of 1930 con
sider these things and strive to
effect equal advancement in the
Greater Carolina of tomorrow.

There have been some pretty bad

And many not so wise,
But good or baa we ve never

A fellow not our size.
Looking back upon the year
J. l
men,
With a jaundiced eye grown old,
We find there's much that's hap-

That will often be retold.

There are many things they'll

Ray Farris led a football team
That was mighty near to great,
And poor old doomed Memorial
Was reduced to sorry state.
The girls played basketball again
In abbreviated pants

Many a well-attended dance.
The firemen were busy
Fighting fires 'round the town;
What the flames didn't get at
They generally tore down.
Professor Koch played in a shorn
And lor Wks erealter told
Of the nasty way they cut him

For being a duellist bold.
The President received a chance
To leave this ancient place
So the trustees met in Raleigh
To find another Chase.
The Tar Heel came out daily
Adding to the campus woe,
And Charlie Price looked mighty
hard,
But couldn't find a foe.
The Golden Fleece elected,
And no one raised a howl,
While girls got in the famous

And still there was no yowl.

And the Laundry got a shirt

CHASE CONCLUDES
SUCCESSFUL TERM
Retiring President Has Been In
strumental In Creating Na
tional Reputation For U. N. C.
This week brings to an end one
of the most successful and pro
gressive administrations in the
history of the University of
North Carolina. At the head of
this institution during the past
decade has been Dr. Harry
Woodburn Chase.
The changes brought about
during the "Chase decade" have
been instrumental in placing the
University of North Carolina
among the leading institutions
in the country. There have been
growths in all phases of the Uni
versity life. The student en
rollment in 1920 was 800, and
the faculty numbered 75. Now
2700 are registered as students
in Chapel Hill, and there are
225 members in the faculty. The
addition of the school of public
welfare and the school of com
merce and the reorganization of
the law and engineering schools
have all taken place since 1920.
When Dr. Chase took over the
reins the University was getting
$217,000 for maintenance and
nothing for buildings and per
manent improvements. A de
cade later the University was
getting $880,000 for mainten
ance and $610,000 for perman
ent improvements.
Eight dormitories for men and
one for women have been erect
ed in the last ten years. Saun
ders, Murphey, Manning, Vena
ble. and Bingham halls, all class
room and departmental struc
tures, have been built. Besides,
there is the new library, the
largest 1 and most beautiful
building on the campus.
Perhaps the most significant
advancement of this Chase de
cade has been the national pub
licity that this institution has
received. In 1920 the Universi
ty was only an average state in
stitution, but today it is spoken
of by practically all of the na
tional educators as an outstand
ing university. Membership in
Association of American Uni
versities helps to show how this
university is rated by the other
universities in' the country.
President Chase has been,
probably more than any other
person, responsible for this
great advancement. Dr. Chase,
who lived in Chapel Hill since
1910, was, prior to his election,
dean of the college of liberal

arts and later chairman of the
faculty. Born in Massachu
setts in 1883, he graduated from
Dartmouth College in 1904 with
the degree of A. B. and four
years later from the same col
lege he -received his M. A. de
gree.' In 1910 he was granted
the Ph. D. degree at Clark Uni
versity. Dr. Chase was offered the po
sition of professor of the philo
sophy of education at a salary
of $2500 at this university. He
took the pjacey In 1918 the
death of President Graham
forced Dr. Chase into the lime
light. Dr. Stacy, then dean of
the college of liberal arts, was
appointed chairman of the fac
ulty, and Dr. Chase was asked
to take Dean Stacy's place. Then
two months after the death of
Dr. Graham, Dean Stacy died
from the same influenza epi
demic. The double loss of two
great leaders staggered the
University. The result was that
the trustees elected the 35-year
old psychologist chairman of the
faculty. In June, 1919 the
trustees elected Dr. Chase presi
dent, contrary to predictions;
PRESS RELEASES
HOBBS' BOOR ON
NORTHCAROLINA
Economic and Social Status of
State Text of Recent Book
By University Professor.
. "North Carolina : Social and
Economic" is the title of a 400
page book issued by the Univer
sity Press last week.
For North Carolina readers it
is regarded as the most impor
tant and pertinent book brought
out by the Press this year.
The book explores every phase
of North Carolina's social and
economic life. The author is
Dr. S. H. Hobbs, Jr., of the rural
social-economics department of
the University, and his findings
are based on 15 years of close
study, observation, and teaching
state affairs.
The conclusions are authenti
cally substantiated by many
tables, charts and official infor
mation of every description.
The volume is dedicated to Dr.
E. C. Branson, head of the rural
social - economics department,
"The nation's outstanding re
gional social engineer," with
whom Dr. Hobbs has been asso
ciated since the founding of the
department.
"This book is, so far as we
know, the first of its kind to ap
pear in the United States," says
the announcement of the Univer
sity Press. "It is an unbiased
and factual account and analy
sis of a single state: North
Carolina.
"Everybody knows that it is
the state that tobacco put on the
map, that has some of the best
motor highways in the world,
that lures golfers, textile mills,
power site - seekers, furniture
makers, collegians, cotton grow
ers, and tenant farmers. But
what else is known? Does the
state or the rest of the country,
for that matter know the ex
tent of the tobacco industry, the
highway system, the amount of
horse power and kilowatt hours
produced, how many pieces of
furniture are turned out, what
sort of education our young stu
dents find, how the cotton farm
er lives and what happens to his
cotton, how many men are land
less in proportion to the number
that work the land? Where
North Carolinians came from
how many left and why ? How
many read? How many can't?
How many have money in the
bank, a cow in the pasture, an I
automobile in the garage, and
butter in the frigidaire?
'This book tells you all of that
and more. It should find its way
into public libraries, school li
braries, into the hands of teach-
ers, newspaper editors, and all
those interested in knowing the
facts about this state or in a po
sition to direct similar study of
other states. We cannot over
emphasize the value, of the book
both as a mine of information
and as a model of unprejudiced
yet sympathetic approach to an
analysis of the home state.
