Going, going-, going- gone. And
still the best we have is lost under the
hammer. At the beginning of thi
year we had two young men in the sci
entific faculty who have done brilliant
work in their professions. Now they
have been lost. The best men we had
they were. . Young men with a long
life before them that might nave been
spent in raising the standard of the
University alumnus. And yet we lost
them because they got a little better
offers elsewhere or were driven away
by some avoidable trivialities.
And yet the University is doing a
fine work. We yearly develop here
some of the foremost educators of the
country. And with characteristic
self-abnegation we ripen our fruits for
other markets. These great educa
tors become great here and go else
where to do their great educating.
Surely it is a fine thing to be the
training school of many mighty teach
ers. A condition that could not be
improved on, when looked at from the
point of view of the institutions that
secure their services, liut Carolina is
not flourishing under the treatment.
It is a fine thing to raise elbertas. But
the system really gets more benefit
when one eats these same. Carolina
must keep for herself the "peaches"
she grows.
If we wish to keep our best men here
we must offer them some inducement.
We do not believe that it would take
much but it would undoubtedly take
more than at present exists. Perhaps
the powers that be in the administra
tion of the University's affairs will
open their eyes to the fact that as a
business proposition this method of
ours must sometime lead to bankrupt
cy. We have got to put a stop to chis
wholesale loss of prominent educators.
It would be quite unexpected but cor
dially appreciated if tne brakes were
applied at once.
ment. Life becomes a series of dreams
of the past and it is thus the college
man is enviable. What period of life
may be looked back upon with such
unmixed pleasure as the four years of
college? Those years when one al
ready has a foretaste of those deeds
that give a spice to life but not yet
knows the care of responsibility nor
the stale inanity of thankless service.
Today those who are just leaving the
life of the campus draw much of their
pleasure from their pipc-dreams and
"castles in Spain". Tomorrow those
same men will still be dreaming but
the end of life's highway will be in
view and the journey of life will be
pitifully shortened. Perhaps the road
side may have been beautiful with
flowers and happiness all the way.
Perchance the whole journey may have
been in quest of a mirage that has al
ready given its disappointment. How
ever the course may have been run

when the tired racer slackens at the
end, his mind will turn back to the fine
start at the morn in"-.
The "golden treasury" of a college
man's inheritance is his storehouse of
pleasant memories. They may not be
ost and the longer one keeps them the
brighter they get. For it is a remark
iDie iact ana a saving grace that one
never remembers the fumbles in this
game of life but the hits are forever
outstanding.
Whkn a self-made man begins to re
call the incidents of his past life,
invariably wishes that he had only
had a college education. Not that he
would have made a better business
man by the aid of college training but
that he might have had more joy in
the success that he has achieved.,..
What another man envies in the
alumnus of a college is his host of
beautiful memories and happy reeol-

This being our final spurt in the
publication of the Tar Heel, the spirit
moves us to speak a word. It has be
come a stereotyped custom for retiring
editors of college publications to admit
that they are glad to quit but are sor
ry it's over. It is our pleasure to an
nounce that we turn over our iob to
the next man with unalloyed delight
We can remember no time when jour
nalism has been pleasant. Since the
work of editing had been placed in our
hands, however, and since we liked not
the idea of quitting, we have accom
plished our purpose to the best of our
ability. The most intense enthusiasm
we can arouse in considering the course
of the Tar Heel for the past year is a
ieelingot satistaction now that it is
run not that the work has been as
well done as it might have been but
because it has Deen as wen done as we
could do it. We have run the job
strictly according to our own lig-hts
and thereby won a conspicuous place
in the drag department of the Yackety
Yack. We wind up the year, not with
a hurrah, but with a sigh of content
ment, merely remarking in an aside
that those who have been dissatisfied
predestined dissatisfaction for them
selves when they helped elect, a year
ago, one who "cares not a pin what
they say, or may say". As long as we
are satisfied, why no one else's opinion
has much influence with us. So we
close our term with no apologies to
any one and at peace with ourself.
Unt ii, this year the position of asso
ciate editor of the Tar Heel has been
an honorary one, a prize awarded to
some student who had made l's on
J English or who happened to be popu-

The editor-in-chief and assistant editor
have been accustomed to get out the
paper.
! As it happened this year, a set of
associates were elected who were work
ers most of them and those who
were not soon resigned in favor of
some man who was. Consequently
the news columns of the Tar Heel have
been largely in the hands of these men
prime and the bleak winter of old age this year, and tho the writing may not
is at hand, 'tis the sunshine that may
be borrowed from the summer that is
past which enlivens the weakening
close of life. No longer then may one
find joy in the activity of accomplish-
show it a w a vs. there has Deen an lm
mense amount' of work done by them.
Heretofore an associate always ex
pressed himself as willing to do any
thing. But this year our associates
have been willing to do the thing that
we happened to want done at once.
The work has been gruelling and ex
tremely exasperating at times but it
has always been done. It is a great
pleasure to us to be able thus to con
gratulate publicly these men on their
work and thank them for their aid.
For the past year that department
of University life that presented
amusement to the students in the form
of lyceum attractions, dramatics, ora
tions, speeches, and so forth has been
under the-supervision of Mr. L. A.
Brown. The readers of the Tar Heel
know how well these things have been
reported. It only remains for us to add
that it has been supremely satisfying
to us to know that if anything in this
linehaooened in Chanel Hill the Tar
Heel would et an accurate account
immediately.
Athletics have had the tender care
of Mr. J. W. Lasley. Jr. During the
fall term and especially in the spri
the athletic reporter of a college news
paper has a job on his hands. Mr
Lasley has worked faithfully and in
deratio-ablv at his task durinjr the en-
tire year. His has been a job that
required push and promptitude and in
neither has he been deficient.
The local columns have been in - the
hands of Messrs. L. N. Taylor and I.
H. Hue lies. These men have filled a
position that requires men who are
fully alive to all that's going on and
also widely acquainted with the col
lege community. "On the Campus"
has always been a full department of
the paper except in times of direst
stress. '. .
The other members of the board
have not beeu assigned any regular
department but have had the generally
thankless task of smoothing off all the
rough corners of the work. Their
work has been appreciated fully this
year and they have put us under a
debt of much gratitude to them.
The whole, assisting board has been
always on its job. Their work may
not have been brilliant but they have
at least done one thinsr that hasn't
been done here before, they have been
the means of a semi-weekly college
publication.

AN APPRECIATION
It is not easy to have to take a les
son in courtesy from even the friend-
liest rival. After the splendid treat
ment received by the track team at
Chapel Hill, however, we see no other
course open than very humbly to ac
knowledge the superiority of the Tar
Heel brand of hospitality and set about
mending our own manners as best we
may.
On their arrival at Chapel Hill the
team was met by a delegation repre
senting tne iraterniues ot the univer
sities and from that minute until their
departure, if we may trust their own
reports, they owned Chapel Hill. They
were royally entertained at the chap
ter houses for which North Carolina is
famous. The night before the meet,
at the moving picture shows, slides
were shown giving the records of each
member of our team and their individ
ual performances at the Wake Forest
meet. The following day, at the meet,
the cheering section of the grand
stand gave yells for every Washington
and Lee entry by name as the event
was called, and, if the White and Blue
howed in front, the winner was as en
thusiastically applauded as were the
sturdy athletes whom Cartmell has so
magnificently trained. -King Turn
