Dr. Hlexander Passes Tlway (Continued from first pugi1) . part in reviving- the Olympic games. Jlis was the first contribution received by the committee that had in charge the affairs of the meeting-. The final success of the contests was attributed to him in that he secured the partici pation of the American athletes. Dr. Alexander entered so heartily into ev ery Grecian activity accessible that among- the people of that nation ho soon attained that popularity that has been the distinguishing- characteristic of his life. "It is a far cry," says a biogaapher, "From the acropolis to a professor's chair at Chapel Hill," but when his four years of office were concluded be quickly, returned to his educational duties in North Carolina and took them up with increased vigor and success. He soon became Dean of the faculty and being- the most interested man in the University in regard to th'. colleg-e library he was made supervisor of the library. During- his service in the University he was generally con sidered the best liked man in the whole faculty. It affords a singular commentary on the Chesterfieldian courtesy which made him so well liked that a long-time resident of Chapel Hill, on being asked Saturday what incident in the Doctor's life he recall ed most vividly; told of a morning soon after his return from Greece when he had "walked half way a crot-s the mud of Franklin street to shake hands with an old darkey servant, whose hat had come off .at the sight of the beloved Doctor. . Many a man has with Abou Den Adhem asked to be written "as one who loved his fellow. man", bi t to few has it been granted to be so universal ly and deeply loved in return as wns Dr. Ebeu Alexander. Today peopleji ti Chapel Hill and wherever else hew;s knowirare saying- as did the Athenian editor, when he concluded his work as minister to Greece, "It is a pity we are losing- such a friend. . Close of Y. M.. e. a. Series (Continued from first page) Sunday afternoon Mr. Cooper again addressed the students on the subject of Bible study. He emphasized the importance of forming- right habits while in college. One great defect in many of our lives is the lack of a proj er perspective. Having gone on from day to day. without serious considera tion of the meaning- and use of our lives, we have failed to gain a due sense of proportion. This is one of our problems: to see larg-e things larg-e, and small things small. The solution of the problem is to bring one's life in touch with the life and teachings of Christ. Thousands of college men are forming the habit of daily Bible study. He advised the set ting aside of a few minutes each... day for such a study as a means of acquir ing the peace and power that enables one to do one's greatest work. At the Sunday night meeiing Mr. Mercer traced the evolution of sin, showing how it resulted in loss of self respect, character, friends, and pros pects for usefulness and happiness. Dr. Weatherford followed, showing constructively how Christ helps men, by granting pardon and release from the sense of sin, by giving the power to break the bonds of habit, and by enabling men to realize their fullest possibilities. At the Methodist Church Sunday morning Mr. Guy V. Aldrich, travel ing secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement,: gave an, interesting ad dress on the great missionary move ments of the world. He discussed missions from the threefold sian.,1 point of material gain, humanitarianism, and religion. At the same hour Dr. Weatherford spoke at the Episcopal' Church,' and Mr.' Cooper at the Baptist Church. These men who have conducted meetings here the latter part of the past week left Monday morning for Vanderbilt, where they will conduct a similar campaign among the students of that institution. Star Course Saturday The Central Grand Concert Compa ny, consisting of Maximillian Dick- violinist; Adolph Knauer, pianist Miss Edith Adams, violincellist; an Mme. Aubi Fearle-Meyer, soprano will appear in Gerrard Hall Saturday night as a number of the star course Maximillian Dick has been reckone the superior of Paganim us a perform er on the violin. Miss Adams is one of the few women violincellists who have attained prominence. The soj) rano voice of Mme. Pearle-Mever has won for her an enviable reputation in Europe as well as in the United States The concert that this compauy gives is highly recommended from every source. Their performance will be high class but not too classical or deep for the eujoymeul of the student aud ience. Eat AH You Waoi A. G. SPALDING & BROS.
