An Affair of Pride.
The Philanthropic Society on Sat
urday night last appointed a com
mittee of five to confer with the
faculty of the University and with
a similar committee from the Dia
lectic touching- the re-establish men,t
of the University Magazine. : :
' 'Last year the Magazine was much
talked of. A regret "for its untime
v ly dissolution was expressed and the
necessity for its publication admit-
ted by all. The only difficulty that
.prevented its revival at that time
was the most essential matter of the
pecuniary support. And it is with
this same difficulty that we are now
cow fronted when the subject of the
Magazine again presents itself. It
demands the earnest consideration
of those who have at heart the best
interests of the University in the
college world. Y - -
The objection was urged Hast
spring, with good show of reason,
that it was hardly fair that the two
societies should be taxed with the
publication of a magazine in which
the entire University was interest
ed and for the publication of which
the whole University was responsi
ble. This, objection from the society
men is the result of a change that
has taken place within the past few
years in the relative position occu
pied by the societies. "When mem
bership in one or the other of the
two societies Was compulsory, they
represented and were supported by
the entire undergraduate body.
iow-a-aays since tins poncv is no
longer insisted tipon by the author
ities,they have suffered serious loses
in active membership. They now
represent scarcely more than two
fifths of the undergraduate enroll
ment.,, ' , ' '
Consequent upon this sudden de
cline, the men most interested in the
work of the societies have been
brought to consider their position
as one of, isolation; and; contrasted!
with their former affluence, as a con
dition of comparative poverty; and
impotence. 7 They' have now neither
the power nor Wealth that they once
possessed; But as has bejn -; inti
mated, this objection resulted more
from tiie sudden change in the con
dition of the societies than from any
' othercatise. It has" in reality little
foundation'. '.' -
:.. Consider, for'the mere sake of il
lustration and not for comparison,
t-he literary societies of the state
colleges. It is certainly highly im
probable that the' .membership l of
any pair of them exceeds that "s of
our own societies; At no one of the
state colleges is compulsory society
work required. And yet by a sim
pie examination it may be ascertain
ed that there are published by and
under the auspices of the literary
societies of the state colleges, The
Davidson Monthly, The. ' Trinity
Archive, The Wake Forest Student.
Literary activity would -seem to
thrive better in a partisan and re
ligious atmosphere. 7 .; "" " ;.V
By the adoption of the plan sug
gested last year each member of the
societies would have been required
to subscribe to theMasrazine. This
was the only support to which the
societies would have pledged them
selves. And it is surely reasonable
to suppose that the students of the
University not members of the so
cieties will contribute equally to the
support of the Magazine. The $0,
cieties many easily regulate their
liability.' Let the frequence of the
publication of the Magazine depend
upon its financial condition.
'And then again the maintenance
of the Magazine is above all an af
fair of pride.' The University is
now entering upon one of the most
prosperous years in its history. It
would be well signalized by a re
vival of literary activity and in
terest. . 7. . : "

An Intolerable Offence,
From time to time it is discovered
hat books forming a valuable part
of the working library of the Law
Room have mysteriously disappear
ed, and that without; .a. clue as to
their removal. The re can be! but one
hypothesis in regard to the missiiig
books.which is that they have been
appropriated by some person or per
sons with the belief that they would
be more benefited by the. possession
of said books than would the Law
Library. Or to put the matter more
plainly they have been stolen.
It is a rule of the Law Room that
no books shall be removed from its
Library except by the permission of
thd head of the department. It is
true that occasionally the text
books are borrowed without permis-
sion and after a brief absence re
turned. But it has begun to happen
frequently of late that a book has
gone upon a far journey, from whjch
it returns not. Among several that
have disappeared permanently, ac
cording to the statement of the sen
ior professor of Law, are numbered,
Norton on Bills andNotes, 2nd De,v-
ereaux and Battle's Equity, 3rd Jo
nes' Law and Brown's Blackstbue.
The University perhaps has not
before been brought to consider the
theft of books more seriously, since
the time of the individual who insti
tuted a thriving trade with several
large book firms, having as the ba
sis of his operations the University
Library. It is said that before his
business affairs were interrupted
several dozen books had been dis
posed of. .' .
The libraries of the University
are placed so entirely at the disposal
of the students and' their preserva
tion is so dependent upon the sense
of honor of those who use them, that
,the severest prosecution of an offend
er of this class would be thoroughly
justified and approved.
