Delegates Dissolve
Former Committee
At Durham Meeting
Representatives from all college YM
and YWCA's in the State, both Negro
and white, officially organized the Stu
dent Christian Movement cabinet at a
conference Sunday at the North Caro
lina College for Negroes in Durham.
To effect the change, the former
YM-YWCA State cabinet dissolved it
self - to create this more inclusive or
ganization which is fundamentally inter-racial
and will extend membership
to the Christian group on any campus
which has no YMCA as well as to col
legiate YM-YWCA's. Prior to this
meeting there had been no State wide
organization or cabinet of the Negro
YM and YWCA groups.
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
Brooks Patten, former chairman of
the State cabinet and president of the
University YMCA, was elected tem
porary chairman of the new movement
until the spring conference at which
nominees for the official staff will be
suggested and a constitution presented.
Formation of the inter-racial or
ganization marks the culmination of a
series of meetings of the executive com
mittee of the State cabinet with rep
resentatives from the Negro colleges

History Of First
UNC Courses Told
By GLADYS BEST TRIPP
(Ed. Note: This is a first in a series
nf historical features which will be
presented by Miss Tripp).
TKo -first nlan for the course of
studies at the University is remark
able in that it was far ahead of the
times. Dr. Samuel McCorkle, a gradu
ate of Princeton, who was chairman of
the committee to plan the curriculum,
drew up in the wilds of North Carolina
a scheme for the first normal school
in America and also for more practical
instruction which all institutions of
higher learning later adopted.
In 1794 Dr. McCorkle decided that,
considering the poverty of the Univer
sity, the instruction should consist of
literature and science alone. The lit
erature should include the study of
languages; especially English; the ac
quisition of historical knowledge,
ancient and modern ; and Belles Let
tres. Scientific studies would be con
fined to mathematics, natural philoso
phy, botany, and the theory and prac
tice of agriculture best suited to the
climate and soil of North Carolina.
The committee thought that a library

Why To Raleigh This Afternoon . . .
... So that we may join in the parade of younger generations taking
their stand for the promotion of health, education, and welfare of the peo
ple of the state; (
So that the law-making mind of the legislature may see hidden behind
their budgetary figures and committee reports the future well-being of
the cittizens of North Carolina;
So that those most vitally affected by appropriation slashes and rev
enue cuts may unite in a concerted effort to proclaim their conviction that
an investment of the people's money in Public Education, Higher Educa
tion, Public Health, and Public Welfare repays a thousandfold.
So that the future taxpayers of the state may brand as a false eco
nomy that policy of government which believes that the least spending
is the greatest saving;
So that the vicious cycle of ill-health, meager education, and poverty
may not be allowed to perpetuate itself;
So that the future citizens of North Carolina can make known their be
lief that the present is not the time to retreat in the face of these three
menaces; ,r
And so that public and higher education, health and welfare may be
recognized as solid building blocks in the structure of the democracy
that crumbles, when the support of government is removed.
