U matter intended for publication should be ad ssed to the Editor-in-chiof and accompanied by A dressed lame of writer. Althousr the unfavorable condi tion of the weather during the past week has prevented the regular amount of practice both on the field and the track, still a considerable amount has been done. The men show themselves gener ally in earnest and take advantage of every opportunity for improve ment; and everything- now looks favorable for a successful season. Let all those who have any chance of making the scrubs,-and even not that for that matter, -come out reg ularly and practice faithfully. By that means you not only increase your own chances for making- the team, but at the same time you in crease the efficiency of the team, by forcing-those who hold places, on it to work harder to retain them ; and by doing- so they will become more efficient than if no one were spurring-them on. Remember that no oue has such a "cinch" on any of the places, that he will not lose it the moment it be comes clear that he is outclassed by a competitor. We are exceedingly fortunate in being able to get Col. W. J. Bryan to lecture at the University while he .is passing- through the state. We are always glad to have the priveleg-e of seeing and hearing- men in the public eye and especially those who have a national reputat ion for oratory. Not only is it fortu nate that we have the opportunity to hear the great silver orator, but the cause to which the proceeds of the lecture is to be devoted is equal ly praiseworthy. According- to the conditions on which he comes here, two hundred and fifty dollars of the proceeds are to go to the estab lishment of a prize to be given each year for the best essay on the Science of Goverment. After that the rest of the proceeds is to go to the University or the Literary Soc ieties The establishment of this prize, it seems to us is very wise; it will stimulate a research along a line that should be followed by all college students. We congratulate ourselves for the the rare pleasure of hearing- Col. Bryan. would be a financial drag- to those supporting- it, but happily this was not the case. The state of the weather was anything but desirable, still many both of the villagers and the stu dents not members of the literary societies braved its inclementy and attended, Nor were they, we think, disappointed in their expec tations. True the subject was dif ferent from that announced in the Tat Heel last week, but this change was made at the wise suggestion of the lecturer himself, for the rea son that the one given was consid ered better suited to the audience, because it contained a more serious basis of thought. Max O.Rell gave us a lecture sparkling with humor and wit, but underlying- this could easily be de tected a basis of clear thought and philosophic reasoning, The suc cess of this one despite all draw backs engenders bright hopes for the next; the weather can hardly be worse, while the subject and lecturer will be exceedingiy popu lar. . We hope to see the interest in these lectures still kept up. If so, we shall probably be able to have a star course covering the whole year in the future. The success of the law class be fore the Supreme Court is cause of rejoicing- for the University. Twenty-three men from here stood the examination, sixteen of whom had received Judge McRae's certi ficate. Of the twenty-three men, twenty-two passed. T-his record speaks for itself - of the high order of work done here. It is especially gratifying- to Judge McRae that his first class has added new lau rels to the alreadv-famous record made by those of his predecessors. He expresses himself as well pleased with the stand they took, and feels that his efforts for their advancement have borne abundant fruit. The success of the first of the star ' course of lectures -for this spring- was exceedingly gratifying to those managing it. The great apprehension had been that it Mass-Meeting. Last Saturday evening at 4:45 o'clock in the Chapel a mass-meet- ing- of the student body was held, Mr. W. S. Wilson was made chair man and Mr. W. F. Bryan stated the object of the meeting. It was to see if it were possible to g-et Hon William Jennings Bryan, who was to speak in Raleigh Tuesday, to come over to the Hill and address the student body.' On motion a committee of five men were appoint ed to make all arrangements and the result of their efforts is known to all. The-committee were: W. F. Bryan ivchairmanj, Avent, Cof fey, Berkley and Ross. Max Orell's Lecture. "The Little Foibles of John Bull, Sandy, and Patt," wai the theme treated by Max O'Rell in the lect ure delivered by him in Gerrard Hall Saturday evening-. A large audience heard the lecture, and it is safe to say that every one present was delighted with what he heard. It was a unique entertainment, and of a very high order. The lecturer fully sustained the lofty reputation which he has gained for himself in this and other countries. The speaker's ready wit and sparkling- in e i- humor kept the audience laugh ir. almost continuously; and yet there 1 was a serious thoughttuluess much that he said that proved th lecturer to be a close, philosoph cal observer of life, as well as humorist. His description of the foibles of John Bull were enough to have made even a Briton hurt him self laughing; and on the other hand his glowing tribute to th sturdy qualities of the liberty-loving Englishman could not be but delig-htful to a people descended from that race. Max O'Rell has traveled all over the civilized world, and his lecture are made up largely from personal observations amontr the people whom he has visited. As a lecturer he is Derfectlv at home on the plat J. m form. His style is graceful and pleasing, his delivery vivacious and modest. His manner, g-estures and accent hiffhten the charm of hi words. Those who failed to hear him Saturday night missed a rare opportunity for enjoying- an intel lectual treat. Exchanges.
