The matter of the election of an as

l'rof. M. C. S. Noble, Principal of the

to the Chair of Pedagogics at a salary
of $2,000.
Prof. Noble, the newly elected profes

having been born in Louisburg ,N. C,
in In.'o. Prof. Noble was educated at
Davidson College and the University of
Carolina. Later he taught a
her of years with eminent success
at Bingham School. In 1882, without his
knowledge, he was chosen Superintend
ent of the Wilmington city schools, and
for sixteen years he labored in that ca
pacity. Prof. Noble has achieved fame
throughout the South for his wise and
able management and development of
the Wilmington schools. The system
has now an enrollment of 3,000 pupils

in the handsomest school buildings in
the State. While Prof. Noble s reputa

students, are pursuing the regulai
courses leadine to the degree A. B.

misfortune or poverty has denied the

lents in the entire South.
Five young women have enrolled ir
he University of this year, one, a graa
jate of the Massachusetts School o:
Technology, in the graduate depart
nent: and another, a graduate of Guil
ford College, in the A. B. course of the
same class, and three in the highei
.vork of the optional courses. It is ol
nterest to record that all these younj
vvomen have done unusually skillfu
.vork in the more difficult subjects like
hieher mathematics, of which two oi
hem have made a specialty. Theii
oresence at the University has demon
strated the entire feasibility of young"
women of maturity taking our highei
?o"urses.
The enrollment is surpassed in ite'
totals only by Tulane, Vanderbilt and
the University of Texas, and in every
-ase this is due to large professional
schools of law. medicine and pharmacy
situated in larere cities. The incomes oi
ill these schools exceed, and in some
their work, constitutes a valuable link
oetween the University ana me puuuc
and private preparatory schools. It

Prof. J. W. Gore was made Dean of
the Faculty during the absence of
President Alderman abroad. Prof. Gore
will have the powers of the Executive
3iying Dr. Alderman's absence.
The Board ratified theaction of the
Executive Committee in granting Dr.
Alderman a leave of absence of three
months for a trip abroad. Dr. Alder
man makes the trip for the purpose ol
physical recreation and to spend his
time in such a way as to promote the
larger interests of the University. He
will sail February 5th on the steamship
Aller, of the North German Lloyd Line
for Gibraltar. After visiting the historic
points along the Mediterranean, inclu
ding Egypt and the Holy Land, he will
return through Italy, Germany, France
and England. He will visit the great
universities and schools'in these coun
tries and expects to be back at his du
ties early in May, some three weeks be
fore commencement.
This being the most prosperous year
in the "history of the University, it is a
most fitting time for Dr. Alderman tc
make a trip abroad. Surely Dr. Alder
man is entitled to the vacation, as hi?
labors during the short time that he
has been president of the University
will testify". The Post, along with hit
legion of friends throughout North
Carolina and elsewhere Joins in wishing
him "bon voyage."
The reports of President Aid frma n

RELIGIOUS LIFE.
I do not need to urge constant
hought about the religious and moral
welfare of the army of young men
gathered at the University. Such as
hey are. they are the hope of the
State, and all of their getting, spiritual
md moral earnestness and purpose are
the things most to be desired. The
Foufig Men's Christian Association is
me of the most vigorous and helpful
organizations in the institution, and
he pastors and professors are always
ull of enthusiasm and zeal in works
f religious nature. Isolation and vil
age conditions, however, suggest the
leed of more frequent contact by the
tudent body with the strong men who
lphoM and stand for the religious life.
fo this end I suggest the following
plan and I ask for its ratification by
you.
I ask that the following gentlemen be
elected preachers to the University for
.he year 1898:
Rev. Robert Strange, Wilmington,
January 30th to February 6th.
Rev. L. B. Turnbull, D. D., Durham,
February 27th to March 6th.
Rev. C. W. Byrd. D. D., Asheville,
Vlarch 27th to April 3rd.
Rev. J. W. Carter, D. D., Raleigh,
pril 24th to May 1st.
It shall be the duty of these gentle-
nen to spend a week at the Univer-
ity, preaching to the students on Sun-
lay evening of their stay and lecturing
m Wednesday evening, conducting
ha pel exercises each morning and at-
ending the Young Men's Christian As
sociation each night on which devo-
ional meetings are held. They shall
je supplied with some suitable place
.vhere they may meet those students
wishing to see them, and they shall be
onsidered for the time beine as officers
-t the institution. I am glad to say
hat the gentlemen named have re
sponded to this movement with en
thusiasm and quick appreciation of the
?reat possibilities of the wor k that may
be done by them.
The income of the University is about

DEPART-
REPORTS OF PROFESSORS:
The reports, of the professors contain
an accurate statement of the life of
the University, and set forth in detail
ts operation and its needs. I condense
'rem these a statement of the petitions
from each department looking to the
proper expansion of that department.
I respectfully request that the action
of the executive committee in granting
me a leave or absence for three months
from February 5 be ratified by the
board of trustees. It is my desire to
spend this time in Europe and in such
1 way as to promote the larger inter

shall see fit to grant this request, that
Prof. J. W. Gore be made Dean of the

The continuance of life is
dependent upon the-food
we eat, and now that the
strain upon the digestion
has eased off, by reason of
the near end of the holiday
feasting, it-behooves us to
see that care-is taken in
the selection of the food
which will keep body and
soul together during times
of ordinary existence.
In this connection,
I merely wish to observe
the well-known fact that
my stock has been selected
with the view of the quali
ty, and none but the best
is sold at my store.
Thanking you for past
patronage, and assuring
you that a continuance of
the same will be met with
renewed efforts to please,
I beg to wish you all a
