. A' comparison of the scores against
Harvard would make us rather confi
dent of beating1 Virginia in the game
here Saturday. But le us not be over
confident. Virginia has a strong
team, and the game will doubtless be
the tightest one seen here in a long
time. A great dear depends on the
rooters. Let everybody that can give
the yell be ready to cheer the 'Varsity
on to victory. But let no one in the
heat of excitement allow himself to in
dulge in the low personalities that are
sometimes heard on a base ball field.
This does no good whatever and may
do a great deal of harm. Remember
that the Virginians are our guests and
are to treated be as such.
The inter-school track meet is
doubtless an established feature iu
the athletic life of the State now.
As a beginning-, the field day Sat
urday proved a great success.
While ..the number of schools repre
sented in the contests was small,
there is every reason to believe that
a greater number will take part
next year, and that athletics in the
prep, schools has already received
an impetus from' the movement.
If athletics is a good thing in the
University, it is a good thing intjie
schools;, and it ought to be encour
aged. In most of the prep, schools
there is a lack of systematic train
ing in this direction. The usual
extent of their athletics is a base
ball nine that plays ou the home
grounds-, rarely contesting with
neighboring schools. They look
forward to no special event, and
consequently have no incentive- to
special training.' The field days at
the University Will furnish this in
centive. It will be considered a
great honor to hold the champion
ship banner, and it will not be long
before this banner will , be hotly
contested for by manvv schools in
stead of three or four.
Athletics in the University has
heretofore been greatly hampered
by the lack of athletic spirit in the
preparatory schools of the State.
The freshmen who come here, many
of them, never saw a foot-ball game
and haven't ,, the slightest idea of
field sports. Asa consequence the
University has to train her material
from the jump. If there was a j
, thorough system of athletics in ev
ery preparatory school in the state,
the University would have some
thing to pick from. The men would
have shown their ability to pkiy
base-ball or foot-ball before coming
here, and we could have a team
composed of men, everv One of whom
had beeu the best iu his school.
We believe .the annual track meets
will go a long way in stimulating
athletics in the prep, schools, and,
in doing- this, raise the athletic
standard of the University.
In an editorial in the April number
of the Magazine, which is just out,
the editor suggests a plan of electing
the editors, which, if curried out, as
far as possible by" the socitios, would,
we believe, prove eminently satisfact
ory.' The plan is as follows; that the
editor-in-chief, together with two of
the senior associate editors, be requir
ed to present to the two'soeities before
each election the names of men who
have contributed to the Magazine and
that the socities choose their editors
from among this number.
This system is somewhat similar to
the method adopted by the Tar Hekl
board in filling; vacancies which occur
during the year, where usually only
the names of those who have contrib
uted articles are considered, v
The plan would, as pointed out by
Mr. McCormick, be the best means of
insuring the election of men most cap
able of writing. And, furthermore, it
would certainly secure the men most
likely to take interest in the work: for
while there may be members in the so
cieties, who do not contribute to the
Magazine, just as capable of writing
as those who do, they have done no
thing to prove that they would take
interest in the work and the likelihood
is that they would not prove hard
workers on the staff. We want men
who not only can, but will write;
and we can judge of what they, will
do only by what they; have done.
University Record.
The April number of the University
Record is out. It is a very interesting
issue. Amoqg other valuable matter
is a continuation of the extracts from
a paper read at the Centenial Com
mencement, June 5th, 1895, by Dr.
Stephen B. Weeks, entitled "The Uni
versity of North Carolina in the Civil
War." The following extract is of
special interest to us in this time of
national commotion:
"When the war began the boys of
the University rushed away to the
struggle like men who had been 'bid
den to a marriage feast. There was
great vivacity of spirit, even gaiety of
temper displayed, and Governor Swain
was proud of their enthusiasm. But
enthusiasm was not confined to the
University. The residents of the vil
lage of Chapel Hill were among the
earliest to enter the service. They
had their representatives at Bethel. .
Four companies were raised in Chapel
Hill and vicinity during the war.
Gov. Swain is responsible for the
statement that thirty of these volun
teers fell in battle or died in hospitals.
- Nor was' enthusiasm and devo
tion to the call of duty confined to he
village of Chapel Hill or to the stu
dents and alumni of the University of
North Carolina. The University Fac
ulty was not slower than the student
body. It contributed six volun
teers, four were slain."
Dr. Baskerville will deliver the
next Faculty Lecture Thursday
evening on The Gasses of the At
mosphere. Lecture will be illus
trated. .
Easter Trip of the Dramatic Club.
Amid Easter gayeties, with the
Twin-cities thronged with visitors.the
Dramatic Club entered Winston-Salem,
to present its initial Easter trip
performance.
Winston gave us a repetition of her
proverbial hospitality, and everyone
contributed'to make our visit a most
pleasant one. The Twin-City Club
was lavish in its courtesies and the
Annual Reception aud German was
enjoyed to the fullest extent. Mon
day night the performace came off be
fore a large an appreciative audience,
and, barring stage advantages, passed
off successfully. '
Our thanks are due especially to
Mr. John J. Blair, whose great kind
ness aud many courtesies calls forth
our sincerest thanks. The Club was
pleasantly entertained at the homes of
Mesdames J. C. Buxton, G. A. .Follin
and M. F. Patterson.
It was with great difficulty we tore
ourselves awav from this .seerte ol so
much pleasure, for during the greater
part of our stay, we were favored by
the presence of the Normalites. One
would suppose that past experiences
had rendered us somewhat proof a
gainst all winsome smiles, but, -'twas
otherwise.
Tuesday afternoon Greensboro re
ceived us and was most kind in giving
us a large house, attesting its appro
val by much applause, joined heartily
by a row of bright faces in the gal
lery, the Normal girls, whose presence
necessarily inspired us to masterful
efforts. After the performance we at
tended a most enjoyable German, led
by Mr. J. Simpson Schenek to whom
with Mr. Jno. S. Cator and C. G.
Wright we are especially grateful for
many courtesies extended to us.
Leaving Greensboro the next morn
ing we arrived in that acme of hospi
tahty; Reidsville. The weather
here was bad, but a very nice-sized
audience appreciated our efforts to the
fullest extent. The Reidsville young
ladies have loyal champions in our
Club, and we are prepared to vouch
for anything laudable concerning
them. The dance after the perform
ance was a complete success, and we
will always have the pleasantpst recol
lections of Reidsville, and the pleasant
homes where we were entertained, viz;
Mesdames Boyd, Pannill, Thompson
and Galloway. Jno. Boyd, ex '99 ten
dered the Club a delightful reception
after the German. John Pannill and
Hugh Thompson were indefatigable
in their efforts to render us valued as
sistance and succeeded admirably.
With Reidsville ended our trip and
next day the Hill saw us once more,
worn in body but rejuvenated in spirit
and holding the pleasantest recollec
tions of the Easter trip.
Of course incidents will happen,
and the Dramatic Club was favored by
experiencing many. We cannot dis
close them all, but suggest the follow
ing bits which will probably produce
conversation: For a full and detail ac
count of the base-ball game Monday
afternoon with Johns Hopkins, see
"Bull" Cotton. He knows all about
it; "Dickie Darling" was decidedly
"en evidence" in Winston; why didn't
Prof. May sleep in Reidsville? why
does the mention of "packing up" in
variably produce a smile in Reids
ville?
Is it true Vick buys cheap over
coats and is a great conversationalist?
Who got "the Chamber of Horrors?"
The Club will give a performance
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. It deser
ves the patronage of every man in col
lege.'
