All communications for this paper should

Wednesday at noon to insure publication the

pertinent discussions of college topics. The
Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes
the whole college will aid it alongthis line.
The University and the Literary
Societies have gone to great ex
pense this year to get for our Star
Course the best lecturers to be se
cured, and so they may not feel able
to assume the extra expense of taking
on another lecture this spring. But
would they not assume this expense
for the sake of hearing a celebrated
foreigner who hastnade himself fam
ous in the literary world? Mr. Sid
ney Lee, one of England's noted
scholars is now visting in America
for the first time. In a recent let
ter to Dr.. C. Alphonso Smith he
states that he will deliver a lecture
here for one hundred and twenty
five dollars. His engagements are
all in the North and West; so far
no engagement has been made in the
South. This is a rare opportunity
of hearing a man who has something
to say and who knows how to say
it. Let's hear him. ;
Mr. Lee is editor-in-chief of the
Dictionary of National Biography
which, in point of range and acr
curacy, is the most noted biograph
icalctictionary in .' the English lan
guage. He is also editor of The
Life of Queen Victoria, a work
marked by rare judgment, unerring
taste, unfailing tact and an accuracy
of statement that will doubtless
make it the standard life of Eng
land's best loved Queen. But Mr.
Lee is best known to University
students for his Life of William
Shakespeare, a work that has sup
erceded all others and yet a work
that shows a knowledge gained
from first-hand study. His latest
work is a copy of the First Folio of
Shakespeare. This work cost $40.
and all the copies were taken by
subscription before it was publish
ed. '
It seems to us that it would be
well for the University to make an
effort to get Mr. Lee here while he
is in America, and we would sug
gest' that the Societies take action
on this matter tonight.
There is an increased interest in
the Cecil Rhodes scholarships since
the recent conference held in Atlan
ta. Dr. Parkin as agent of the
Rhodes trustees, met representa
tives of mostof the Southernin stitu-
tions offering courses which prepare
students to meet the requirments
of Oxford. He has held simila
conferences in various sections of the
United States. When the sugges
tions offered have been received and
duly considered, he will make re
port to the trustees, Lord Rosebur
rv, Lord Milner, Mr. Alfred Beit
Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Hawksley, Dr
Jameson, and others.
In North Carolina and the other
Southern States the nomination
Rhodes scholars will be intrusted to
a committee, of which the Presiden
of the University is chairman, the
other members of the committee be
ing selected by him from the Col
leire faculties of the State. Two
scholars will be chosen from each
State. The recipient of a scholar
ship will receive $1500 a year for
three vears. He must be able to
pass the Oxford examination known
as "responsions." In a general way
it may be said that, in order to pass
this examination, candidates must
have such knowledge of Latin,
Greek, and Mathematics as a good
student in a good college usually
has after he has finished his Sopho
more year. The Atlanta conference,
however, suggested that condidates
''must have been regularly enrolled
for at least three years in the col-
giate department of an American
colleg-e whose standing is satisfac
tory to the Rhodes trustees. " The
conference also recommended that
"the selection of candidates be
limited to persons not less than 19
nor more than 24 years of aere." It
is not certain that this suggestion
will be adopted, as the Oxford
authorities prefer to have younger
men." The age limit may be, fixed
bv the trustees as from 18 to 21
years.
In addition to evidence of attain
ments in Latin, Greek, and Mat he
matics, the candidate must be
man who has such traits of charac
ter as fit him for leadership among
his fellow students; and preference
will be given to those who have done
well in athletics.
If arrangements can be confpleted
in time, the first elections to scholar
ships will probably be made in Jan
uary, 1904, and the first scholars
can become residents at Oxford in
October, 1904. Some newspapers
have recently been announcing ap
pointments to Rhodes scholarships,
and pictures of successful candidates
have been printed. All these are
fakes, though possibly unintentional
fake.
Omega Tau. .
With this issue of the Tar Heel
the advent of a new fraternity is
noted.
It is Omega Tau, a fraternity
limited to the Law Department.
The impression we get of the main
purpose of this fraternity is that it
is organized to encourage and recog
nize excellence in the Law, that is
for mutual advancement and to give
opportunity for further development
in the Law to those who can work
together congenially and who in the
Law Department have shown them
selves to be good workers and the
accomplishes of good results.
Conditions in the fast developing
Law Department of our University
seem naturally to have given rise
and place to such an organization;
and we gather that it is not the ob
ject of Omega Tau's founde rs that
their fraternity shall degenerate in
to a clique, but their ambition seems
rather to be to make the presence of
Omee-a Tau in the University oper
ate as a stimulus to study and to
legal excellence, and thus that many
of our young lawyers may quauiy
themselves for membership. It such
are the aims and objects of this new
fraternity, we welcome it to the
Greek world.
