Carolina wins easily the game
layed here Saturday with Mary-
and, by piling- up four runs in the
rst inning-. But had the visitors
ot allowed so many passed balls in
his inning- it is certain that the
ame would have been more inter
esting-. The game was without
eatures up to the seventh inning-,
khen Maryland placed the first
a -
liree men on bases and it looked as
f they would tie the score, if not
jvin the game, but Lawson's beau-
iful pitching saved the day for
arolina. No prettier playing-has
ver been seen on Carolina's grounds

curves of the little sphere, the

Historical Society Meets.
Monday night in Gerrard Hall
the last meetinp; for this vear, of
the North Carolina ' Historical
Society was held. It was presided
over by Dr. Battle and the occasion
proved an unusully profitable one
Mr. Lock hart read a paper on Chief
Justice Ruffin, telling the many
incidents in this great man's life and
of the numerous offices of public
trust held by him. , He told of his
connection with the confederacy and
his work on the Peace Conference
Dr. Battle made a few interesting
remarks about Mr. Ruffin whom he
knew personally.
"The Career of Gen. William
Gaston' was the subject of a paper
read by Mr. J. S. Cook. He brief
ly sketched out the life of Mr.
Gaston and told of his remarkable
career in the House of Representa
tives where he was a recognized
leader of the Federalist party. He
gave several of the important quest
ions which were before the house at
that time and in which Mr. Gaston
was closely connected. He describ
ed the personality of the man, tell
ing of characteristics peculiarly his
own. j
Professor Noble closed the even
ing with a particularly interesting
paper. His subject was "Battle
of Moore's Creek Bridge." He
drew a map of Moore's Creek and
the country lying around and briefly
told the story of that 'earl v morning
fight on Feb. 27, 1776," the first
hand to hand fight of the Revolution
that turned out victorious. He told
of the correspondence that took
place before the fight and showed
what a remarkable effect this vic
tory had. He gave some interest
ing incidents and amusing anecdotes
of how our men got ahead of the
enemv.
The meetings of the Historical
Society this year.- have proved very
enjoyable and highly instructive.
The papers as a rule have been ex
cellently prepared and the subjects
have been interesting.
To Dr. Battle is due the life of
the organization, as is due also most
of its unusual success.
Mr. Skinner Alston '99 visited
his brother and friends on the Hill
last Sunday and Monday.
Several Durham people were over
to see the Maryland game last Saturday.
DR. ALDERMAN
RESIGNS
His Letter to Hon. R. H. Battle.
May 5th, 1900.
Hon. R. H Battle,
Secretary Board of Trustees.
Raleigh, N. C,
My Dear Mr. Battle:
I beg to offer to the Board of
Trustees my resignation as" Presi
dent of the Uuiversity of North
Carolina to take effect on June 15tb,
1900. I take this step after patient
study in order that I may accept the
presidency of Tulane University of
Louisiana to which I was elected on
April 5th 1900. This decision has
been reached in the belief that it is
just to my professional life and
to opportunities for educational
service that I make the change. I
have tried very hard to do the right
things along large lines and to e
liminate from this problem the
commonplace and the sordid. If
I have seemeed to take undue
time to it is because time has
been needed to see even with partial
vision the path to tread. I have a
a firm belief that every thoughtful
man who has this matter in mind at
all will know something of the
hurt of heart and mind through
which I have passed, and the con
flict of duty and emotion in which I
have struggled. It is the hardest
thing I have yet had to do in my life.
It is needless to say my heart hasbeen
touched by the evidences of appre
ciation, all too generous and unde
served, from the people of the State,
for whom I have labored since
manhood, from your honorable body
so helpful and just to me always,
from the body of Alumni and from
the faculty and students of this in
stitution in whose service I , have
known the joy of striving. I count
this appreciation of the finest re
ward of a life of some toil and strug
gle for the upbuilding of my native
State.
With assurances of my personal
esteem I have the honor to remain,
Very sincerely yours,
Edwin A. Alderman.
For Season ot 1900.
