We shall be glad to publish pertinent discussions of college topics. The Tar Heel will welcome news items," and hopes the whole college will aid it along this line. Excelsior! The higher educational institu tions of the South have a common problem. It is the problem of nearer approach t that University ideal from which all of them are far The subject is too large for any justice to be done it here. There is, however, a line of action essen tial to growth that can be briefly emphasized. Consistently and per sistently followed, it will get these institutions daily further from the narrower and nearer to the larger view. It will help them to leave the comparatively contracted spirit and aim of the college for the more expanded spirit, the fuller, freer. and higher life of the University. It is not the business of a Univer sity to work with raw material. Its privileges and duties are not realized, not realizable, by crude- ness and immaturity. It is neces sary to exclude the unprepared and unfit until they are prepared and fit. Admitted, they invariably lower the spirit and aim of the in stitution, making a high school of what should be a college and a col lege of what should be a Universi ty. Therefore entrance require men ts should be raised as rapidly as is practicable. Of course local conditions which do not tend to scholarship must be considered and nothing unreasonable done. There is room for a rise throughout the South. The standard of entrance must be put up, gradually and sure ly, if slowly. Certainly this is a primary cond tion of the progres sion we are striving for. It is easi ly seen that putting up the stan dard of entrance, giving the insti tution a better class of men, will aid indirectly in satisfying the most absolute essential of its progress the broadening of its prescribed courses of study. Who can deny the necessity for liberalizing curriculums which are narrow and hide-bound? In our college courses leading to degrees there is a tendency to put all men in the same mould and turn them all out about the same size. Inflex ble rules of study are laid down; the wants of the individual are ignored, and he misses his poten tialities. The sainc training is prescribed and enforced upon all sorts and conditions of men, the same mental pabulum for minds as different a diversity. Compulsion occupies a more exalted place than choice. A University proceeds upon the assumption, the basis of which is sure, that those who come there are men who know their needs and not children to be guided into know ledge by leading-strings. The stu dent is a free ranger, unfettered by the cramping restrictions of the school. This ideal has been realized on both sides of the Atlantic, and can be here, though not in a day or per haps even in a decade. A good be ginning can be made now. Right now, the choice of studies in reg ular courses in this and some other institutions in the South, can. with utmost safety and advantage, be made freer. A long stride can be made from comparative narrowness and shallowness to University breadth and depth. May indi vidual and institution throughout our loved Southland together grow up out of weakness into power With the Societies. J DI SOCIETY. In the Di an animated discussion was held on the relative merits of the liquor systems of North and South Carolina. The Tar Heel advocates argued that in this state J the liquor trarac is in the hands of . the people. The dispensary advo cates argued its satisfactoriness ,'n Europe and South Carolina as a de creaser of drunkenness. The com mittee decided in favor of the North Carolina debaters and de clared Mr. Jonas best debater. PHI SOCIETY. The query was: "Resolved, that Trusts are justifiable and should not be abolished." The affirmative held that the trusts meet the tendency of the times toward consolidation and that, it takes large combinations of capi tal to carr? on the erormous volume of our business. The negative argued that trusts tend to destroy individuality in business and to cause concentration of wealth. The committee decided in favor of the negative and reported Mr. Herring best debater.

SKINNER, Agent. LAMB 4 LYON To Virginia. Here's the kind of thing we need. It rings true. There's a football team a comin', Yes, Virginia, she's a comin', And if you are kind o' wonderin' As to who and what they are, They're the runnin', flying, buckin', Smashin', tearin', kickin', cuf- fin' Crowd that's goin' to lick the stuf- fin' Out of you, Virginia. There's a time that I remember, Up in Richmond one November, When they trailed the blue and orange In defeat and in the dust. And so now I've been a sayin' And a bettir' and a prayin' That the boys would win the day in Norfolk, and they will or bust. No, Virginia, you can't hack 'em, And they've got the tin to back em, Every man has got his money On the good old Varsity. With the streamin' white and blue you'll See the crowd that's come to do you, They'll come shoutin' Halleluia, And they'll march to victory. I'll be there with all the rooters, With our old tin horns and toot- ers, And the air will sound like thun der On a roarin', ragin' sea. Yes, you'll even be outhollered, And your football team get wal lered. And old "Wa hoo wa" '11 be swallowed up in yells for U. N. C. J. A. G. '96 Dr. H. M.
