Ti UNiVEHsny im The Memorial Services to Dr. Eben Alexander, the late dean of the University, were held in Gerrard Hall Sunday afternoon. The exercises were very personal and simple, as simple as the life of the great man in whose mem ory they were held. Re^^ R.. W. Hogue openeii the services with a beautiful prayer. Dr. Kemp P. Battle presided and in an in troductory _ address spoke of the brilliant mind, the statesmanshij; and the beautiful home life oi Dr. Alexander. Mr, A. H„ Wolfe president of the' Senior Class, spoke feelingly of the student’? love of Dr. Alexander. Prof. W', S. Bernard of the department oi Greek with simple eloquence in terpreted the life of Dr. Alexan der. He found the outstanding; characteristic of his life to be ex pressed by the Greek word eidos, a sort of pity, ruth, syrapathy, an indefinable tenderness and something more. He exhibited this same fine quality whether at the Court of Greece, in the Deane's office or on the streets oi Chapel Hill. . The principi 1 ad dress was delivered by Mr. Jose phus Daniels, the gifted editoi of the Raleigh News and Observ er. Mr. Daniels spoke for the tinistees and alumni. In an in teresting and comprehensive manner he sketched life of Dr. Alexander. Sprung from fore bears who were pioneers in the founding and building of the City of Knoxville, a high honor graduate and a loyal son of Yale, Chairman of the faculty of the University of Tennesse, profess or of Greek in the University of North CJarolina, American Am bassador to Greece, and Dean of the University are the facts with which Mr. Daniels paid a rare encfnium to a p’eat man. Mr. Daniels gave his address a per sonal touch that added much to its interest and charm. He told of Senator Ransom's hesitancy in approving President Cleve- land’s appointment of Dr. Alex ander and how the old general was finally won over by Dr. Winston's appeal to his love for his alma matter and his state. Senator Ransom lived to bless the day he approved Dr. Alexan der’s appointment. The people of Greece and the press of both countries voiced the opininn that Dr. Alexander was perhaps the best minister that any country ever sent to Greece. Tulane University of New Or leans is making arrangements for a pentangular debate between Tulane, North Carolina, Virginia, Vanderbilt, and Missouri. This debate will require two years for completion. It will be one of most significant debating contests engaged In by any of the Ameri can Universities. Involving siich cities as New Orleans, Nashville and St. Louis (not to mention Chapel Hill) and such states as Louisiana, North Carolina, Vir ginia, Tennessee, and Missouri, this pentangular debate will be interstate and national in interest and consequence. Carolina lost in baseball to the Navy 1 to 0, won from George town 5 to 1, and from Wake Forest 1 to 0. In the Wake Forest game only 29 men faced Hedge peth and not a single man got even the semblance of a hit. 0UB mm lETi Special to tlu" C. MAY R..FB. SO.5.

Because Bailey Daniels could not have their in the Academy they bolted. ' , : The crowd soon filled the srdall Court House and utter confus;; reigned.

Holding, Register {’i; Deeds Bernard, George Norwecd and others also tried to speaM, but in vain. Each, faction determined that the other should: not be heard. During the riotifig Solicitor Jones shouted “you dasi-: scoundrel" to Baily, while ista rioters used unprintable oaths: ■ Finally Bailey and Daniels ga’^xe up and left the Court House, fol4 lowed by their supporters; aaB: they held a meeting on the side walk. The meeting in the Court House with quiet restored, proceeded i;j3 organize, and was addressed by Armstead Jones, Senator Jone# Representative John W, Hindak^ ^ Jr., Dan Hugh McLean, of nett county and others.
