11 l Mil. THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL, I. C, Feb. 20th. 1897. SO. 19. E Yol. 5, 71 University Magazine. Approved by the Phi. Society and IV Probably Pa$s the Di. To-night. The committees appointed by the two societies presented their report last Saturday night.. An over whelming majority accepted the re nort in the Phi, and its considera r . -. ..... tinn was postponed one week by the Di which will, it is hoped, endorse the plan without much opposition. The, report as it was adopted In the Phi. Society, provides that five editors shall be elected from each society, these to select from their i :.- .-1-r i nwn nuraoer an cuiiui-iu-iuiui ami business manager. Each membe of the society is to subscribe to th magazine, the said subscription to be paid by October 1st of each ses sion. All financial and literary management of the publication is to be entrusted exclusively to the edi tors, and it is further provided that no member of the faculty7 shall be long to the board. It is to be en tirely a student publication, without professorial or alumni interference, though anyone is at libertv to sub- mitarticles for publication. In short the students are to be the control ling- power and their work will hold (precedence over other contributions. This movement will undoubtedly improve both the societies and their individual members, and if the mag azine is properly regulated, it can not fail to prove a success. If it does show itself a successs, and its literary tenor is , sufficiently high, the faculty will probably be only too glad to follow the example of noiivj jother institutions and give academ ic credit for contributions of the proper merit. ;; Ait Invitation. Editor Tar Heeiv University of N C. Dear Sir; Will you kindly lay this invitation before vour Universi ty; to enter the inter-collegiate ora torical contest to be held in New Orleans on March 4? So far only Georgia and Alabama have signified ;their intention to send a representa tive. Mississippi will probably de cide to do so. The contest will be open to all matriculates of the various depart ments of the University. Each c 1- must send $12.50 to go toward Paying for a medal. Also each col le"e pays the' traveling expenses of Its representative; but Tulane will entertain them after thev reach New Orleans. No speech can be i0Ver twenty-five minutes. it is Tulane's purpose in holding this contest at this date, to give the legates an opportunity to enjoy ft N.

Vickeks, Editor Olive . Blue. Tulane University, . New Orleans, La. : Virginia Letter. University of Virginia, Feb. 9th, 1897. This year has been an important one in the history of our institution For nearly ten months now the work on the new buildings, whicli are to replace those destroyed by lire last year, has gone steadily fori ward; and at last we can clearly see that the fire, which consumed our Rotunda and Annex in Oct '95, was but a blessing in disguise Our quadrangle is rapidly being- en closed by the rising walls of the three new buildings at the lower end of the Town, while the Rotunda will soon be ready for our new li brary. The Academic building is, well on its way, and the Electrical and Mechanical Halls are being" roofed over. Enough has been com pleted to judge the harmony of the new buidings with the Greek style of architecture which marks the buildings on the Lawn. Jefferson's plan of copying the best models of classic architecture on the Lawn has been well continued by the graceful designs of McKein, Meade and White, the architects of the Grand Court at the Columbian Fair. Our curriculum has been gradually broadened until the spirit of prog ress is as marked in that line as in the erection of the new buildings. The Medical Faculty has added a third vear to its course; the Law Faculty by the addition of more tic kets, has made a B.L. the work of not ltjss than two years; while in the engineering department the B, S. .degree, with a greater option in the choice ot work, has succeeded the more rigid C. B. The' encour agement of graduate work in the Academic department is the. latest advance in the direction of true Uni versity work. As a result of the action taken by the Board of Visi tors this year in encouraging grad uate work, there are nineteen men taking post-graduate studies in col lege at the present time. With the return of fair weather this week the athletic field has shown the first signs of life since the foot-ball season. About thirty- five are busily at work for a place on the base-ball team. Mr. Coogan, of Providence, R. L, has been se cured to teach our boys how to get n the game. As soon as he comes there will be a thinning out among the applicants until the select few are found. Games begin the fif teenth of March and with two or three every week continue until the f 1 Southern tour is made the last of June, Three of last year's team are on the field already; Hoxton, our crack short-stop, has not de- idtd to come out yet, but if Virgin ia finds that she must have him,, he will undoubtedly appear on the field, Besides athletics, "politics" in the iterary societies has kept things ively here. Unfortunately for the Magazine, the societies have not yet called a halt in their quarrels. Wm. J. Bryan has been invited by, the societies to delrver the ora-f tion here at finals, -He ihas not ac- cepted the .invitation yet. Not any! free silver sentiment, but our admi ration for his ability as an orator, obtained for him the invitation. TheiFairweather bequest of $150, 000 will probably :be used to erect aj much needed hospital 'for the Meds Thus the medical .school with its long desired hospital will be much! better equipped than ever before. College 'Topics. Golf Club. The University ;Golf Club was reorganized last week with the fol lowing officers: F. A. Gudger,' President; M. C. Elliott, Vice President; W. S. Howard, Sec'y. arid Treas. Links will be put up in a fixed position shortly and play will begin immediately thereafter. ' Applicants for membership should hand their names to one of the offi cers, who are desirous of arousing some interest iu this very attractive game, jl ne memoersnip iee is ni- ty cents. Y. M. C. Associations of N. C. THE TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAt STATE CONVENTION. WINSTON-SALEM The twenty-first Annual State Convention promises to be a very fine meeting. The attendance will be large and the program interest ing. Among those who are to make addresses are Dr. A. C. Barron, pastor First Baptist Church of Charlotte; Rev. Wm. Black, the well known evangelist; Professors P. P. Claxton, of Greensboro, and J. A. Btvens, of Charlotte. The International Committee will be represented by Messrs. H.P.An derson and H. W. Georgi. Topics will be discussed covering the whole range of Association subjects. Es pecial attention will be given to the educational work, to Bible study. and to the religious work of our Young Men's Christian Associa tions. A, conference of the College Asso ciations, Presidents will be held by Mr. Georgi on Feb. 18th and 19th, and it is hoped each College Asso ciation will send its new president in order that he may be instructed in his important work. All Christian workers, and es pecially Christian men "in towns where there are no Associations, are cordially invited to attend; and every pastor will be welcomed. Reduced rates on ; all the rail roads. (The following letter was re ceived by a Freshman from a six- j year old-cousin.) , Dear i thousrht i would write to you a few lines and ask you if they has! blacked you yet it they do let me know if thev black vou all over or half when is you coming nome li mey pui yu lniu a. uuusc and lock you up if i was you i would climb out the window and run away i havent erot time to write so i will close now write soon. On' the Diamond. Captain "Pat" Stanley is back at last! That sets us more firmly on our feet than ever and portends a very favorable season. First base, centrefield, and third base will be held by Winston, Whitaker and Johnson, who have what is known as a "cinch" on these respective positions. The oth er places are in doubt. Bailey will play either at catch or at short. Other promisinj applicants for the different posts are as follows: Short-stop, Woodard and Belden; Second, Alston; Left-field, McKee; Right-field, Ia v i s; Centrefield, Rogers; Pitchers, Tate, Hines, Wil liams, and Mangum; catchers, John ston, 'Bouldin, and Graves. Many others are trying for the team, but have, .not yet attained any special prominence. On the whole everything is as fa vorable -as before, and though none of our-old ' 'twirlers"have returned, the new material -is most promising and will probably come up to the mark in due time. Announcement. The prize offered by the Helleh- tan for the best contributioncahndt be competed for by any member of the faculty or alumni. The otter is made exclusively for the students, the editors being excepted. Contributions must be submitted by the first of March. An Explanation. The officers of the Philosophical Club desire to explain that it has not been their fault that nd meet ings were held. No one can be found who will prepare papers for presentatation and therefore it has seemed useless to order a meeting of the Club. If any one desires to address the members on some philosophical sub ject, a convocation of the august asembly will be immediately ordered. Marriages. Cards of invitation to two mar riages among the alumni were re ceived by Dr. Battle last week. Dr. Elbert A. Moye, '93. will be married to Miss tlortense Forbes on February 24th, at Greenville, N. C. Mr. Alphonso L. Gregory, law '90, will be married to Miss Jennie Alexander, formerly of Chapel Hill, on February 23rd, at Pittsburg, Pa. . Dr. Wade Hampton Atkinson, '85, to Miss Mary Holloway, on Febru ary 24th, at Chicago, 111. Swiss Bell Ringers. This musical entertainment was given last Monday night for the Athletic Association. The songs by the little girl of the Armstrong family and Master Harry's cornet playing" were the noticeable features ' and received much applause. o ' I
