PROF. JOSHUA WALKER GORE
DIES IN BALTIMORE THURSDAY AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
Had Given Twenty-Six of the Best Years of His Life in Lov
ing Service to the University Was at One Time
Dean of the University.
The sad news of the death of
Prof. J. W. Gore at Baltimore
reached the University last Thurs
day morning, and there was no one
but felt the greatness of the loss to
the University. Prof. Gore had
been a member of the faculty of the
University since 1882.. During- this
long- period of service to the Uni
versity and State he had become so
Pkof. J. TV. Gore.
thoroughly in touch with our col
lege that his loss will be a hard one.
Prof. Gore had been in failing1
health for some time but no one was
prepared for the suddenness of his
death.
Prof. Gore was born in Gore,
near Winchester, Va., Jan. 10,
1852. At the age of seventeen he
went to Richmond College, where
he graduated four years later. From
there he went to the University of
Virginia Where he obtained the de
gree of C. E. in 1875. For two
years thereafter he pursued a course
of study in Johns Hopkins Univer
sity until he was elected to a pro
fessorship of mathematics at South
Western Baptist University. He
held this position up to 1881 when
he was called back to the Univer
sity of Virginia to become an in
structor in mathematics. One year
later he was elected Professor of
Physics in the University of North
Carolina. This position he held up
to the time of his death.
During Dr. Alderman's adminis
tration of the University, from 1897
to 1900, Prof. Gore held the posi
tion of Dean of the faculty. He
was the .first Dean the Uni versity
had. But he was forced to resign
this position on account of failing
health. With the organization of
the Department of Applied Sciences
in 1904, Prof. Gore was chosen as
Dean. He held this position up to
his death.
Prof. Gore comes from an emi
nent family of the northern part of
Virginia. He was a brother of Dr
J. H. Gore, at present Professor of
mathematics in George Washington
University. He' was married in
1883 to Miss Madge Williams of
Baltimore. He was a member of
the Kappa Alpha fraternity. The
funeral services were held in Balti
more Friday afternoon.
Complaints Against the Editor.
In consequence of an editorial on
hazing published in the The Tar
Heel on April 2, the following mo
tion was made at the meeting of the
Athletic Association Wednesday
night a week ago: That Mr. H.
B. Gunter, Editor-in-chief of The
Tar Heel, either prove his state
ments made in this editorial or hand
in his resignation by Tuesday
nig-ht. Mr. J. L. Moorehead, Mr.
Jacocks, Mr. Winborne, and Mr.
Burgwynn in support of this mo
tion went on to point out what they
considered previous unfairness to
fraternitymen in the columns of The
Tar Heel and then discussed the
editorial on the recent hazing-.
Mr. T. R. Eagles suggested a
substitute motion to the effect that
Mr. Gunter either prove his state
ments or, make an apology in the ed
itorial columns of this issue of The
Tar Heel with a reprimand by the
Association. Mr. Fountain and
Mr. Graham embodied this sugges
tion in the form of an amendment.
The amendment was voted on and
was lost. The original motion was
then voted on and was carried.
At a called meeting of the Asso
ciation Saturday afternoon the mak-
: 1
C. TV. Tillett, Ja.
ers of the original motion moved for
a reconsideration. They gave as
their reasons for this the absence of
Mr. Gunter at the other meeting
and the misunderstanding" of their
action. The motion to reconsider
was carried. The offered amend
ment of the original motion at the
other meeting was substituted for
this motion and was carried.
CAROLINA DEFEATS GEORGIA
IN THE TWELFTH ANNUAL DE
BATE.
The Contest Characterized by the
Best of Good Feeling on
Both Sides.
The University of North Caro
lina defeated the University of
Georgia Friday night in the twelfth
annual debate between these two
institutions. The debate was very
close as the two to one vote of the
committee indicates. Every point
was contested for on both sides
with strength and spirit. The query
was. Resolved: That the state
should not prescribe a maximum
railway rate. The affirmative
was upheld by Mr O. R. Rand and
Mr. C. W. Tillett, Jr., of Carolina;
the negative wras defended by' Mr.
S. O. Smith and Mr. Y. B. Smith
of Georgia. ,
All the speakers acquitted them
selves well; they were at ease
during- the whole debate. The
speeches were well delivered, the
arguments were well evolved, and
the diction was well chosen. Mr.
Rand and Mr. S. O. Smith, who
opened the debate for their respec
tive sides were calm and .unimpas
sioned; they coolly laid down the
foundations upon which the opposing-
arguments were to be-built.
Mr. Tillett and Mr. Y. B. Smith
followed up their colleag-ues with
more warmth and earnestness of
expression. Mr. i. a. omitn nas a
stump-speaking- attitude which will
some day stand him in good stead.
Dr. Charles H. Herty, former
professor of Chemistry at the Uni
versity of Georgia and now at the
University of North Carolina, fit
tingly and gracefully presided over
the debate. He warmly welcomed
the gentlemen from Georgia to
Chapel Hill. Mr. L. P. Mathews,
of the Carolina debating- team
which defeated Georgia last year
O. E. Rand.
at Athens, acted as secretary. The
committee of judges was composed
of Rev. W. C. Tyree of Raleigh,
Rev. W. A. Lambeth of Walker-
town, and Rev. H. C. Moore of
Raleigh.
The debate was characterized by

VILLANOVA TAKES ONE GAME
AND THE TAR HEELS DO LIKEWISE
The Villanova Men the Best Ball
Players That Have Come
Here This Spring.
Carolina and Villanova split even
in the two games here Monday and
Tuesday, Villanova taking- the first
g-ame 12 to 6 and Carolina the sec
ond 8 to 6. Both games were char
acterized by hard hitting1 on the
part of both teams, coupled with
various and sundry errors both of
omission and commission. In fact
Carolina made more runs in these
two g-ames than she has in all the
previous g-ames put together. The
ag-g relation representing Vilanova
could hit some too, and the way
they bumped Fullenwider's assort
ment Monday was something awful.
Stewart was more effective the sec
ond day, but Villanova was not
beaten until the last man was out
and had not Hobbs cut off a runner
at second in the ninth inning1, there's
no telling- how many runs our Cath
olic friends would have made. From
the standpoint of good baseball,
both g-ames were a little off color.
The first game, in particular, being"
hardly more than a comedy after
the sixth inning. No matter where
Fullen wider put the ball, it went
out on a line toward the fence, and
the natural let up on the part of
Carolina pointed to another easy
victory for the visitors in the sec
ond game; but to reverse the situ
ation, Carolina assumed the ag
gressive in the second g-ame and
with Stewart working1 at his best,
forged ahead of the visitors early
in the g-ame and kept the lead all
through, though closely pressed all
the while. Most of the Villanova
men had played ball before and
though not in the best of condition
at present they are perhaps the
most formidable crew that has
graced Carolina's diamond this sea
son. They played a clean, hard,
scientific game, and Carolina did
exceedingly well to break even with
them.
No attempt will be made to give
a story of the games in detail.
Both teams hit, fan bases and made
errors at will, Carolina contribut
ing 10 and Villanova 7 errors all
told in the two games. In the first
game Monohan, McGeehau, Sullir
van and Barr, for the visitors,
wielded the stick in excellent fash
ion, Barr in particular being especi
ally offensive in this department,
cracking out a single, a triple and a
clean home run in his three appear
ances at the bat Mondav!
In the second game Savage, Mc-
Geehan and Sullivan bumped Red
hard and often, but it seemed never
at the proper time. The visitors had
a swell chance to sew up the game
in the fifth when with two out:
Stewart lost control and passed
