The Tar Heel each year de
votes an editorial to asking the stu
dents to stay to the next Commence
ment. Apparentlythese editorials
are 'of no avail. The students
simply cannot be made to realize
that Commencement is a splendid
opportunity for them: But it is not
the purpose of this piece to speak
of these men. There are other men
in the University who stayed this
year and whose presence was a
drawback. These men took no
interest in commencement, and, in
stead of g-iving their aid and support
to the events that depended upon the
students for success, used their in
fluences aerainst such events. Un
fortunately for themselves, they re
fused to mingle with their brother
students and unfortunately for the
University they had some influence.
By all means, gentlemen, if you are
so foolish as to refuse to be Univer
sity men yourselves do not use your
pernicious influence on the new
comers who are ignorant.
This issue completes the current
volume and ends the work of the
present editorial board. The editor
desires in closing his connection
with the paper to thank the Athletic
Association for tb honor done him
and to gratefully acknowledge his
indebtedness to the members of the
board who have aided in the edito
rial work. The most conspicuous
of the latter are Messrs. Ross and
Reynolds.
COMMENCEMENT.

terial welfare made by the Univer
sity since his student days. The
closing part of the address was
taken up with a mention of the
problems that confront University
men as men of the nati. n. Mr.
Thomas was very eloquent.
THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON.
This was, as always, one of the
happiest times of commencement.
There was a large and enthusiastic f
crowd present. Col. Kenan, Presi
dent of the Association, knew how
to preside over a dinner, where, he
said, there must be a mixture of
'eating and of business. Toward
the close of the dinner he called on
President Venable, who made his
yearly report to the Association
One of the most interesting slate
ments in this report was the remark
that $27,000 of the $50,000 neces
sary to be raised to receive Mr.
Carnegie's gift is now in sight.
The first payment toward this was
received from a woman graduate of
the University. Dr. Venable re
quested that a committee be ap
pointed to have charge of raising
this money. The following com
mittee was appointed: Dr. Vena
ble, Dr. Smith aud Dr. Alexander
from the faculty and Messrs. Geo.
Stephens and E. M. Andrews from
the alumni. . 1
Mr. S. M. Gattis was then called
upon to act as toastmaster. lie was
a capital one.v The followiug re
sponded to toasts: Fred Carr, Col.
Killebrevv, J. C. Horner, J. C. Mc
Neill, Dr. Battle, J. A. Lockhart,
Jr., Congressman J. L. Gudger, L.
Patterson, J. Y. Joyner, Rev. A.
L. Betts, J. S. Hill, Dr. C. D. Mo
Iver, H. Weil, Maj. J. W. Graham,
C. C. Earnhardt and Congressman
Boutell.
The officers of the Association
were re-elected.
THE DEBATE.
The commencement debate was
won by the Phi, and Mr. Kerr won
the Bingham medal as announced in
another column. Lieut.-Gov. P.
D. Winston presided aud L. W.
Parker, of Hertfordwas secretary.
The query was: Resolved, That
Congress should confer on the Inter-
State Commerce Commission full
power to regulate railway traffic
rates, subject to review by a Court
of Transportation.
The debaters were: Affirmative
Phi, J. S. Kerr and J. A. Parker;
negative Di, W. L. Mann aud V.
L. Stephenson.
The judges were A. W. Hay
wood, of Haw River, George Con
nor, of Wilson, and J. C. Horner, of
Oxford.
After the debate the President's
reception was held in Commons
Hall. The rain caused the absence
of many who would have been pres
ent. There was a good crowd
present, however, and all evidently
enjoyed the occasion.
GRADUATION DAY.
The academic procession Wednes
day was the most imposing that any
student now in the University ever
saw. The list below shows the
large number of graduates. These
as well as most of the members of
the faculty wore caps and gowns
and they made a long line as they
marched two and two from the
Alumni to Memorial Hall. The
class was so large that it was im
possible for them to find a seat on
the rostrum. They occupied the
two front rows of seats on the main
floor.
By a wise change in the pro
gramme the speeches were put sec
ond. After prayer bv Rev. A. LV.
Betts, '80, Mr. Boutell delivered
the commencement address. This
gentleman had already been on the
Hill for several davs and had made
riends of the University. Some
thing good was expected from him
and no one was disappointed. His
address showed the devotion of a
patriot and the master mhiYl of a
statesman.

Cornell University Medical College.
The course covering four years begins the first week in October and continues
till June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage. All
the classes are divided into small sections for recitations, laboratory and clinical
bedside instruction. Students are admitted to advanced standing after passing
the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any
College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as
maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for
admission which have lately been raised. The annual announcement giving full
particulars will be mailed on application.
