ft- a JIJM. “BE J"CrST nSTOO?.” Vol. 1. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 4, 1890. No. 1. Sometime, Somewhere. Unanswered vet? The pra3’er your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? Does faith begin to fail; is hope depart ing, And think you all in vain those falling tears ? Say not the father hath not heard your prayt'r; You shall have your desire sometime, • somewhere. Unanswered yet? Though when you first presented This one petition at the Father’s throne, It seemed you could not wait the time of asking So urgent was your heart to make it known. Though years have passed since then, do n )t despair; The Lord will answer you sometime, somewhere. Unanswered yet? Nay do not say un granted ; Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done. The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what he has begun. If you will keep the incense burning there. His glory you shali see, sometime, some where. Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be un answered, Her feet were firmly planted on tlie Hock; Amid the wildest storms she stands un daunted, Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock. She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer. And cries, “It shall be done,” sometime, somewhere. —Robert Browning. The Opening of the Fall Term at the University of N. C. Sufficient time has elapsed since the opening of the session of’90- ’91, to enable an accurate ac count of the enrollment and of the prospects for this collegiate year to be given. Thursday, the 4th day of September, found 125 on the Hill, not including the law and medical students. With this number the University open ed, a number larger than that of the(previousyear, however, many more new students have arrived, bringing the number to about 200. The roll of the Senior or gradu ating class this year, numbers twenty-four men, as against her thirty-one of the last session. In the Junior class there is a loss of fifteen men, as only twen ty members of ’92 answer the roll. The Sophomores came back thirty-eight strong, and wei'e in creased by several new men who entered the class of ’93. This year a new de])artment has been added to those formerly existing at the University—the Medical Department—under the charge of Dr. R. H. Whitehead, of Salisbury. Di*. Whitehead is already very popular among the boys of the University. Prof. Clafiin, Assistant Mathematical Professor, is another case of bmngeniality makes dear friends.’ The positions of Librarian, As sistant in Latin and Assistant in Chemistry are occupied by Messrs. V. S. Bryant, ’90, Shepard Brj- an, ’91, and 11. L. Miller, ’90, re spectively. THE GYMxXASlUM. The gymnasium, under the charge of the University Y. M. C. A., opened very auspiciously^ with Mr. Charles S. Mangum ’91, as Director, About haii the students take the “gymmy” and are divided in two sections, each of which has regular hours fcjr exercise, three times a week. The exercises taught by^ Mr. Mangum are simple, yet invigorating, tending to develop the muscles of the whole body by the simplest and most effective methods. We advise every one who has not done so, to join the class at once. THE Y. M. C. A. Under the efficient manage ment of President A. H. Patter son, seconded by' a creditable corps of officers, this institu tion is making rapid progress Founded in 1860, at the Univer sity, its growth was slow, but since the reopening in 1875 new life has been infused into its old limbs, making it strong, flour ishing and an active power for good. Devotional meetings are held four nights of every week, in apartments handsomely fitted up and owned by rhe organization. These meetings are largely at tended. The average nightly at tendance being between 50 and 60. A committee haveinhand the work of raising $40,000 for the new building, which it is hoped will be erected by ’93. Taking everything into consideration, the outlook for the Y. M. C. A. was never brighter nor its possi bilities ever belter. THE LIBHAHY, Numbering 30,000 volumes, un der the careful supervision of the Librarian, Mr. V. S. Bi-yant, has assumed a neat and artistic ap pearance. This gentleman de votes his whole time and long- experience to looking after the li brary and in aiding the students in their researches. In addition to the above it is a pleasure to us to give in brief outlines the history of several clubs and societies. The Shak- spere Club was organized in 1886 at the instance of Dr. Hume, for the critical stud,v of Shakspere and other dramatic anthors. This club has enjoymd a very prosperous existence and its pros pects were never better than now. The Elisha Mitchell Scientific So ciety was founded in 1883 for the advancement of scientific work throughout the State. The Society has so grown in numbers and prosperity that it now owns a library of four or five thousand books and pamphlets. The object of the N. C. Histori cal Society is to stimulate the study of our State history. Many interesting and historical papers have been read at the meetings of the Society. Summing up all these facts we predict a successful collegiate year, both to the Professors and the students under them. UNCONSIBERED TRIPI.ES.
