Our Chapel Hill Letter.
Hon. James Bryce, the dis
tinguished ambassadar from
Great Britain to America, was
the guest of the University Fri
day night, and made an address
in Gerrard Hall before a large
and attentive audience. Mr.
Bryce is interesting to American
people not only because he is one
of the eminent citizens of the
world, but also because he has
written the best description of
American life in his "American
Commonwealth." Mr. Bryce was
introduced by Prof. E. K. Gra
ham, and spoke on the value of
a state university to the people.
He expressed pleasure at being
in one of America's oldest and
must useful universities. The
University of North Carolina, he
said, has had a long and honored
career and is the best invest
ment that the .people of North
Carolina have made. He ex
pressed the hope that the people
would respond to the growing
needs of their University. From
every investment made in tht
State University were immeasur
able returns in men trained to
search for the truth and impress
ed with the duty of citizenship.
He congratulated the students
upon having a faculty known
for research and upon having as
a site for the University such a
admirably adapted to study and
thought. .
President F. P Venab:e hat-
been to the University of Vir
ginia, where he presided ovei
the Association of Southern Col
leges" and preparatory Schools.

the Chapel exercises this week.
Talks were made by Drs. Man
ning, Jolly, and Lawson, upon
such subjects as "Diet and Di-
geston," "Over Exertion," and
"Proper exercises." Mr. George
R. Parkins, who is travelling in
two hemispheres in the interest
of . the Rhodes Scholarships.
spoke at one of the Chapel ex
ercises upon "Cecil Rnodes, the
man." lie recommended to the
students Mr. Rhodes' conscious
pursuit of a great life purpose.
Dr. R. 0. E. Davis, associate
professor of chemistry, has ac
cepted the call to be chemist in
the Bureau of soil department of
agriculture, Washington, D. C.
The University regrets the loss
of Dr. Davis who was one of the
most efficient and popular mem
bers of the faculty. He will be
associated with two other alumni
of the University, Coffey and
Bennett, who are perhaps the
leading soil experts of the country.
