COMMENCEMENT. Continued from Second Page. He opened with some personal references that were exceedingly pleasant, telling of his first ac quaintance with North Carolina through the letters received during his boyhood by his mother from his father, la Union soldier fighting- in North Carolina. He felicitated himself on the safe return of his father and on his own enjoyable visit to the Old North State. Mr. Boutell showed an astonish ing acquaintance with the history of this State. And he referred his young" audience to the splendid record of their-North Caralina an cestors as furnishing splendid ex amples of right living- and noble patriotism. The main part of the address was a masterly review of the funda mental changes that have g-one on in our government since its founda tion. Lack of space prevents a fair account of this address. It can only be said that the young men of the audience were urged to keep in mind as citizens the principles of the fathers. When a change is necessary and is right let it come, but let there be no changes simply for the sake of "getting- along-." The speaker closed with an ad dress to the graduating- class. He ' said: "My last words shall be to the young men of the University. Be true to the noble traditions of your Alma Mater, cherish always the friends and companions of your youth. Hold fast through life to the love of home, of kindred and of neighbors. Ennoble your simplest tasks by faithful service. Be loyal .to your town, to your State, to yourf country. Emulate the lives of your fathers, and let the words of Hewes, of North Carolina, be your guide, "My country is entitled to my service, and I shall not shrink from her cause, even though it should cost me my 'life." , After Mr. Boutell had spoken the commencement speakers contested for the Mangum medal.

Presented May 4, 1905, at the closing exer cises of the Medical Department. Mr. Boutell. With many Commencement ora tors it is the fashion to reach Chapel Hill not earlier than Tues day evening or if possibly Wednes day morning1. Not so with our speaker this year. Mr. Boutell reached Chapel Hill Monday, after having spent several days traveling through the State. He had a mes sage for the graduates of the Uni versity of North Carolina and he fitted himself as thoroughly as he could for the delivery of that mes sage. He studied North Carolina history and literature and people. Then he threw himself thoroughly into the spirit of the University. As a result, he came among us, not as a foreigner, but as a man. There was the heartiest exchange of friendship and cordiality between him and our people. , Mr. Boutell said he had a delight ful visit, and there is every reason to believe that he enjoyed it thor oughly. He was part of the whole Commencement. At the inter-society banquet, at the alumni luncheon, at the president's reception, at the class exercises, and at the dances he was a welcome and interested guest. His daughter, Miss Alice, who ac companied him, was also heartily welcomed. And apparently she too will remember pleasantly Chapel Hill Commencement. in French; Dr. L. R. Wilson, assis tant in German; J. C. Hines, Jr., assistant in physics. Mr., M. H. Stacy has been grant ed leaye of absence for a year. Mr. Stacy will spend the year studying at Cornell. Baseball Sweaters. Sweaters or stars were awarded to the following baseball players this year: Sitton, Winston, Chesh ire, Stem, Gudger, Worth. Thomp son, Winborne, James, J. B., Calder, Emerson, Moore. As the design for the baseball sweaters is new this year, the Ad visory Committee presented each of the players with a sweater. Lawson Invited to Return. At its last meeting the Advisory Committee unanimously voted to invite Coach Lawson to coach the team for next spring. To make so early the election is quite out of the custom, and it was done as a com pliment to the splendid work done for this year's team by Dr. Lawson. The resolution of the Committee expressly stated this as its object. Appointments in the Departments. President Venable made the fol lowing1 announcements of the ap pointments in the different depart ments of the University: T. F. Hickerson, instructor in mathemat ics; I. W. Ro e, assistant in phar-j tit tt T.r:i.i- r r. t n ! macy; vv. xi. rviuiei, u. r . LwyAn, i T. P. Cheshire, assistants in biol-' ogy; B. H. Perry, J. B. JefFress, I assistants in geology; E. B. Ran dolph, C. W. Martin, L. M. Kelly, and G. L. Paddison, assistants in chemistry; T. B. Higdon, assistant Enlargement of Athletic Field. At its last meeting the Advisory Committee ordered that work in enlarging and improving the athletic field be begun without delay. The contract for this work was let to a Durham contractor during the win ter, but the bad weather and the necessity for the team's using the field constantly made necessary the postponement of the work. The amount of money on hand is not sufficient to increase the capac ity of the grand stand and bleachers in addition to the other work. This will have to wait until more money is secured. The drainage, grading, and enlargement, however, will be carried out hot. Team Managers. The managers of all the athletic teams for next year have been elected. Mr. Stewart, who was last fall elected manager of the foot ball team, has resigned, because he doubted his ability to return to the University next fall, and also be cause he realized the serious handi caps that beset a player manager. Mr. A. H. Bahnson has been elect ed to succeed him. Mr. T. Grier Miller was elected manager of the baseball team. Mr. Burke H. Bridgers will man age the track team.
