The handsome alumni building . at Wake .Forest College.' stands i i monument to the tireless efforts of Prof. John B. Carlyle, at the head of Latin language and literature', and Dr. 3. Henderson. GotTen," professor ..of modern language The 'building Is on of; the most-.handsome in the Bute and le said to be the handsomest owned by. North Carolina Baptists. The but Ul in not only portrays the loyalty of the many alumni who have gone out from this Institution, but la a part of Prof. Carlyle anu Dr. Qorrell. The former of the two pro feasors raised the funds for the build ing and the latter superintended the construction. The first time the matter of erect ing a building here by the alumni was discussed was at the alumni meeting of commencement, 1(02-1. The association decided . to build a bllolpglcal laboratory and asked Prof. Carlyle to raise the money for the building. At the name rommene " Pr"f- W- r,r!a hv!.n become fired with zeal for the cause and always equal to the occasion when It comes to a matter of educa tion, made a stirring address before the alumni and others In attendance on commencement and 17,000 was promised by .those present before the exercises of that meeting closed. Realising that before contributions could be received In abundance It would be best to begin work on the IihI llnw Kman with Altl. tKA In. The first brick was laid by the little son of Prof. Carlyle, Maater J. B. Carlyle, Jr., and In (he spring of 1(04 the cornerstone waa laid by the graduating class. In the winter of 1904-5 the building was built to the first story and stood till the sum mer of 1106, when It wss completed to the roof. In the fall of last year It was complete Inside and In 1(00 It Is being occupied. When he first went out he raised subscriptions to the amount of $12. 000 In twelve weeka. During part of the time he waa canvassing the State he waa released from his work In the clsss room. At other times he conducted the work of raising the money along with his other dvtlee here. Dr. Qorrell proved hlmavlf most valuable and equal to a I moid any task by sperlntendlng the work of construction of the building along with his duties In the clasa room. The building Is three stories In height, Is built of brick snd finished In granite. There la metal celling throughout. The buldlivg la covered with slate. It la suppled for best ing and electric lights. There are three biological laboratories, Ave med ical laboratorlea, five recitation rooms, museum, sn office for each of the professors of medicine, and a room for the professor of biology.

Potest, profeaaor of biology, together with the varloua asslstanta In these departments. Dr. BenJ. F. Hledd, professor of Kngllah language and literature, and Prof. John F. Lanneau, professor of applied mathe matics and astronomy, will begin teaching in the new building within the neat few weiks. Dr. Henry Simmons, of Shorter College, noma, Oa.. waa the largest contributor to the alumni building, he having contributed mors than 11.000. Major Hugh Scott, of Relrin vllle, contributed 11,000. There were a number of 1500 contribution but the bulk of the money waa collected ; frt)m numerous alumni and friends of the college throughout the Slate and other Slstes, The building was paid for an It was built, and every cent was paid before It waa turned over to the board of trustee last commencement. Architect etlmstsd that ths building would cost st least 112,000, but by the efforts of Prof. Carlyle and Pr. Uorrell the building wss built for II, 000 less than this estimate, saving this amount on what a contractor would have charged. The architect who designed the building waa Mr. Charles W, iinrrvtt, of Raleigh, and to him the convenience and beauty of the building I due. On the walla of the spacious hall on th first floor sre ten brass tab lets, each of which represents a con tribution of IS. 00(1.

Hold ing gave to a number of bis friend a fish fry under the pine beside hla fish pond, which was one of the moat enjoyable occasions of the past few weeks or more. About a half mile south of the col legs is an old grist mill which was built about 70 years ago. It is prob sbly the oldest mill tn Wake county that la still being run. Many years ago It aerved as a place for swim ming' and other sports for the Wake Forest student, besides being an Im portant place of .gathering for th Jmrxnmt. It was patronised t by peo ple from far and near; ?.Th pond 1. now pretty well filled with mud bat there is still plenty of water for nh. The dam Is built of rock and la on a solid rock founda tion. It Is an excellent piece of ma sonry. The water Is used twicer . by the mllL , After running on water wheel It Is caught In a second pond snd used by another wheel. The mill itself present an-aged and weather beaten appearance, ... . ' la the pond of thl old mill Mr. nol(jBg ratooo aome , very ,flnt fish, or rather he raises them in the fish pond near his house and they go down stream o the mill pond. - Thursday th mill pond waa selasd and a half bushel of fine fish were caught, a doaen or. more averaging irom. three to: five pound each. ; ". A large crowd assembled at the gymnasium Tuesday afternoon to con sider the organisation of - a football team or teams for games this all. Th trustees do not allow the student to play football off the hill and of course , there U no playing " of this game with other college. Thl fall, however. It seems that la addition to basket ball, tennis, and baseball prac tice... there will be several games: of football. Modified rule of the old order of playing tbe game will be employed. At the meeting It was de cided to try to orgsnlse . four teams, two of light weight and two of heavy weight. The four teams will probably be organised and several games will b played between them. GUILFORD COLLEGE. Special to The Observer. ' Guilford College, Sept. 10. An event of unusual. Interest to the stu dent body, and especially to members of the Henry Clay Llteraryr Society, occurred laat night when President Hobbs, In the name of a few friends, presented to the society a hsndsome portrait of the Hon, Joseph Moore Dixon, of Montana. Mr. Dixon, who Is a member of the House of Repre sentatives, Is a native of North Caro lina and a graduate of Oullford Col lege. President Hobbs In his pre sentation speech ssld tn psrt: "You may well be proud of your charter members. I am to speak of one of them, Hon. Joseph Moore Dixon, whose portrait I have the honor to present to-night. We are all proud of hla splendid career. As a student here he wss among the strongest that ever graudated. He was noted for Intellectual vigor, for quick wit, love of fun and mastery of the subject in hand. "Mr. Dixon came here In 1111, Later he spent a year In Earlham College, but returned to Guilford In the fait of 1818 and graduated In the first clasa In 1889. He Is descended from good stock. On his mother's side he hss received Scotch blood, on his father's he Inherited the char acteristics of the Dlxons, of Alamance county. "Joseph M. Dixon was always am bitious; and his ambition was of the most admirable type. He did not seek to rise by pulling other people down, but strove for excellence and made himself fit. He had confidence that the place would seek the men. We see him now aspiring to the Sen ate of the United States, and we have good reason to believe thst he will be successful In this his latest aspiration and effort. I hope that we shall soon be permitted to call him Senator Dixon, of Montana, and of North Carolina. Hla popularity In Congress and with the administration he haa deacrvedly won. His Interest In Guilford College i constant and help ful. He did much to help our effort for endowment, and is still actively aiding the work of the college. "Mr. Dixon Is one of the most at tractive snd effective speskers In Congrene. Many of us last Msy heard his splendid addre at our com mencement snd were charmed by his eloquence and hi delightful person ality. "This portrait Is a good one. He Is one of the handsomest men in Con gress to-day. He Is In the prime of life, has good legal training and stands for Juxtlce and the good of the entire country, and he doe not lose, I am glad to y, his warm Interest In affairs In hla mother State.

The fact that, with the exception of a very few, all students who had to take examination presented themselves be fore the formal opening of school, has materially shortened the usual period of waiting for classes to be arranged. All classes have been or ganized, and many have been regu larly at work since the second day of school. Last year the Alumnae Association of Wlnthrop offered a scholarship at Columbia University, New York city, to a graduate of Wlnthrop. Mis Elisabeth Falls, a member of the as sociation,, who has been successfully teaching since receiving her diploma, la the fortunate recipient. She has already commenced work at the uni versity.
