In refer ring1 to the University of Virginia he paid her a tribute as being- the first state university to open her doors in the new world. Whil1 ; we cherish only the most sincere good will towards the University of Virginia, to whom we are closely allied by the bonds of name and of purpose, we believe that honor should be paid to whom honor is due. It is for that reason, there fore, that we feel called upon to state that the doors of the Univer sity of North Carolina were opened thirty years before those of the University of Virginia. On Octo ber 12tb, 1792, the grounds of the University were chosen. - Not a fortnight ago we celebrated the anniversary of this event. The venerable Davie poplar is standing still as a monument to Col. Davie and his associates. In 1793 work was begun on the Old East build ing and on the laying off of the campus anil, in 1795 the University opened her doors for the first time to students. In 1825 the Univer sity of Virginia followed suit. Not only did the University pre cede her Virginia sister. She was preceded by only one similar insti tution in America, the University of Pennsylvania, which sprang into existence one year earlier. By this narrow margin did the University of North Carolina escape becoming the pioneer of all Americau state universities. As it is she was practically so in spirit, as standing for democracy and education, two principles which were to prove fundamental in the development of our nation, in the recognition of which the colleges of a continent have followed her lead. Elsewhere in the columns of the Tar Heel, we print a notice of a movement which has been set on foot for the erection of a monument to the late Dr. Charles D. Mclver: We endorse heartily this effort to honor a man who was at once an'un selfish servant of the state and a loyal son of the University. How ever it seems to us that the expen diture of $15,000 in the erection of a monument to his memory is hardly in keeping with the spirit of the man as we have always known bittj. Self-sacrificing", devoted to the cause ol education in, his state, . t 1 7 ' f wouiu ne not prefer a monument that would live forever in the minds of future generations of North Car olina s men and women? Par be it from us to raise a dissenting voice to the honoring of so ereat a man, but' as we see lt:' a series of scholar ships, established preferably under his name at the institution to which he gave so many years of devoted service, scolarships which would bring training to many who would otherwise be compelled to do without it, would be far more in keeping with the spirit of his life and would form a monument more glorious and more lasting than a statue of bronze or a shaft of marble. This year witnesses a new ar rangement for the publication of our annual, the Yackety Yack. In the past the editorial boards have not been elected until in the spring, and they have consequently been rushed to the utmost to get out their annu als at all. Last year the fact was recognized that under such condi tions the best publication could not be produced, so the editors of this year's annual were elected . last spring. This year, then, we have, for the first time, a fair chance to get out a thoroughly representative annual . The Yackety Yack board realizes this and has already set to work to arrange the preliminaries for the year's labor. However they will be powerless in their efforts unless they are supported by the student body, and the way for the student body to support them is to get to work on material and ideas for the annual. The board has a stiff proposition to surpass the Yackety Yack of last year, but it is going tp work with the determina tion to do so, and deserves the en couragement of the student body as a whole.

Bui- letin and samples Scare heads in Richmond dailies announcing the strong probability of a Virginia-Carolina football game being played at an early date have caused more or less inquiry at Chapel Hill. The Tar Heel is authorized to state that there has been absolutely no foundation for these reports. . There will be no game between the U. Va. aud Car olina ebveus this fall, as Virginia is unwilling to play us under the new rules which we have adopted. We hope, and we feel sure that we express the sentiment of the student body, that Carolina will be able to meet Virginia next year on the grid- -r-r . .a . M iron. Jtlovvever the same rules that are in effect here this year will be in effect next year, and the game depends entirely on Virginia's acceptance of them.

Horrible! Out at Vanderbilt the other night a crowd of masked freshmen cap tured a stray sophomore, divested him of most of his garments and tied him to a tree. The faculty are very properly horrified at the outrage, and threaten to expel sundry sus pected freshmen. Numerous abuses of a similar nature have been heaped upon freshmen by sophomores at Vanderbilt, it seems but they haven't bothered the faculty.- Buy your oysters from Thompson's Cafe, opposite Pickard's Hotel. jPhone 85. Sneed-Markam-Taylor Co, CLOTHIERS AND .GENTS' FURNISHERS DURHAM, N. C. STEM & THOMPSON, Agents Monument to Dr. Mclver. A movement has been set on foot to raise a fund for the erection of a monument to Dr. Charles D. Mc lver. By a great sacrifice of self Dr. Mclver devoted his life to the service of his people, and it is in recognition of this that the people of the state purpose to erect an he roic bronze statue to perpetuate his memory. Nocommunity in North Carolina realizes more thoroughly the usefulness of Dr. Mclver's life or regrets more deeply his loss than do we at the University. Never has any institution had a more loyal son than the University claimed in Dr. Mclver, and, for this reason, we, especially, should aid this effort to honor him to the utmost in our power. Those who wish to aid in the cause may send thir contributions or pledges to J. Y. Joyner, Raleigh, N. C, chairman of the committee that has the matter in charge.
