The professors of law ar: hold
ing forth these days in. their new
quarters, the old library building.

it lends dignity and individuality to
to the School to have a building of
its own. TLhe School has been ma
terially strengthened by the addi
dition of a new professor, Dr. Ruf-

Terrible Wreck.
i ne L,napei mil ivimitea was
ditched a day or so before registra
tion began, on its way to University
Station, and it was several hours
before it could be replaced on the
tracks. Several students and mem
bers of the faculty bound for Chap
el Hill, rather than spend the night
at the station, took a little cross
country walk, through mud which
in some places was ankle deep, ar
riving in Chapel Hill at all hours of
the night. According to well au
tneuticatea reports, tne waiK was
not exactly a pleasure stunt.
First Student Meeting.
The first student meeting of the
year was held last Thursday in the
chapel at the call of President Ven
able. It has long been the custom
here to have such a meetiug on the
first day of lectures, so that the
new men may be introduced immed
iately to University ways. The
meeting, however, was varied this
year by speeches by , Drs. C. A.1-
Secretary Rankin's New Office.
Secretary Rankin of the Y. M.
C. A. has had a door cut in the wall
between his office and the old game
room, which is now used as the
reading room. The Y. M. C. A.
business has assumed such large
proportions that the change was
neccessary. Mr. B. L. Banks, Jr.,
has been appointed assistant secre
tary, and Mr. Banks or Mr. Ran
kin will be on duty all the time.
The Information Bureeu.
The Y.'M. C. A. A., as usual,
rendered good service during the
registration days by means of its
information bureau. And for sev
eral days the book exchange run in
connection therewith, caused the
reading room to assume somewhat
the appearance of a department
store on a bargain day. 1
than misrht be nesired, . tnev are
working hard, and will no doubt
develop into a fast and steady team.
Some of .last year's men who are
back are McNeill, Davis, Mann,
Sutton, Thompson, Williams and
Manning. With these and smie of
the new men and last; years scrubs
we ought to get a good team.
As yet the practice has been con
fined to punting, passing, and fall
ing on the ball, interference run-
ninsr, etc. Coach Lamson has taken
under his special supervision th
coaching" ot the linemen ana we
may look for a good strong lin
from him.
l he coacmnir torce this season is
especially strong ' and efficient
Coach Lamson is ably assisted by
Coach Simmons. Foye Roberson,
and Jacocks, the old star quarter
back.
With this force and the material
there is at hand there is no reason
why we should not have a
team.

TO()d
First Meeting of Y. M. C. A.
Sunday afternoon Dr. Venable
de
livered the opening- address before the
Young Men's Christian Association
He urged every man, old and new, to
make Bible study a part of his college
course, in fact a part of his life
course.
He maintained that a knowledge of
the Bible would stand a man in good
stead when tried by the many tempta
tions which are sure to beset college
men. He pointed out the fact that
when Christ was tempted in the wild
erness the weapon with which he
withstood the wiles of the devil was
the Holy Scriptures.
The speaker wondered that it was
true that men had to be urged to study
the Bible, a book with a universal ap
peal. It appeals to the rich and the
poor, the high and the low; no man
is so wise that he can fully understand
it and no man is so simple that he
cannot find comfort in it.
The speaker tnen snowed that a
mere literary study of the Bible made
it well worth while. It contains mas
terpieces in poetry and prose. The
poetry of the book of Job is unsurpass
ed, and the short story of Ruth is unv
equaled.
Finally, the speaker waived all his
other argument and staked his case on
the fact that the Bible is the book of
God. In it are contained the perfect
principles for life conduct; in it is con
tained the life of Jesus Christ, a life
after which ever y man should pattern
bis own.
Among the old ' men who were
here during the opening were H.
B. Haywood, Walter Murphy, R.
E). Calder, A. II . Bahnson, F.
Cox, John G. Wood, Jr., and Hal
Worth.
