J 1 j " t 4 ' V T i
me county ciuos. it appears to us
that the organization of small count'
clubs in the University is on a de
cidedly firmer basis than that of the
larger. Where only six or seven fel
lows in the University hail from the
same county, they have a regular or
ganization, get together often, and
give a banquet or so during the year.
This is but natural, perhaps, but the
larger clubs might be made more
active also, it seems. If the Meck
lenburg County Club has held a
meeting this year, we have failed to
hear of it, yet this county has the dis
tinction of sending more students to
the University than any other. The
same indifference characterizes the
others of the larger county clubs of the
University. It is even difficult to get
a decent proportion of the members to
gether to have their pictures taken for
the Yackety Yack. The Guilford
County Club, it is true, used to hold
regular meetings, but even this en
thusiastic bunch seems to have lost
interest. The county clubs now have
an opportunity to share in .a. great
work, ?nd there should be a greater
activity in the larger clubs. :
turn u' educated men who will" lead
thi- people. One of the first requisites
of leadership is ability to speak. Given
two men of equal capacity, the man
who can best tell what he knows and
is trained to stand on his feet and talk
clearly to his fellows will, every time,
walk ahead of the man who has neg
lected to cultivate the ability to speak.
One of the defects of modern colleges,
s;nce so much of science and practical
instruction and investigation have
been put in the curriculum, is that too
many college men neglect the cultiva
tion of their speaking talent. Indeed,
in some colleges, there are Chemists
and special investigators who affect to
regard ability to speak well in public
as a matter not to be proud of, and to
neglect the training given in the liter
ary societies. But this affectation is
passing away in wisely governed col
leges, and while all departments o
learning are encouraged, chief empha'
sis is put upon English, English Lit
eralure, kindred subjects and the work
of the literary societies. The specialist
has found out that he is much more
useful if he can talk well before an
audience; the doctor, whose discussion
of health problems is interesting, as
well as instructive, -multiplies his
power ten-told. JNo man ought to
graduate from a college or a university
without having learned to rise in
public assembly and tell what : he
knows on any subject in a clear and
logical manner. Here's to the North
Carolin University boys, who have
won the highest honor in intellectual
of you, and proud of the honor you
have conferred upon your State !

We are printing below an editorial
from the News and Observer, on the
Carolina victory in the Penn-Carolina
debate. Both because it is a deserved
tribute to Messrs. Taylor and Wil
Hams and 'because of its discussion of
a question which concerns all college
students, we give the editorial in full:
The news of the victory of the Uni
versity of North Carolina on Saturday
night, at Philadelphia, in the debate
with the University of Pennsylvania,
is a noble achievement and gives joy
to every North Carolinian. .The vic
tory is all the more significant and
honorable to our University because
this makes the third successive decis
ion North Carolina has got from them
by unanimous vote. Nothing makes
us quite so happy as this habit that
our North Carolina country material
develops after a few years of training,
of licking these smart, finely trained
Yankee boys before juries of city law
yers. ' ,
The last victory makes twenty-two
victories out of thirty debates with the
best colleges between New Orleans aud
Philadelphia. There's something large
and hopeful in that!

A Word for the Grind
In these days, when so much atten
tion is being given, in the college pa
pers and other papers, to athletics it is
gratifying to find so great an author
ity as President, Lowell, of Harvard
University, saying a good word for the
college man who is not a "sport."
Commenting on his speech at the Re
gents' convocation in Albany, the In
dependent has this to say of college
ournalism: ' "We know that most of
the college professors in our colleges
act as if they thought that mental
equipment is the purpose and aim of
the college, but as we read the papers
edited by the students themselves we
should judge that the professor ranks
below the coach."
Neither President Lowell nor the
magazine referred to attempts to dis
courage college sports, but simply to
give credit where, in the usual opin
ion, little credit is due, namely, to the
'u-rind." The comment continues
thus:
"President Lowell says that at the
present time the appreciation of schol
arship among students is very low;
that they honor 'sports' more than
they do 'grinds. ' It is a common
saying among students, he tells us,
that they believe, or say, that labor
devoted to scholarship is no evidence
of superior success later in life, and
the honor they give are rather to ath
letes or to men of social prominence
than to scholarly ability . . . . . . But it is
scholarship more than anything else
that tells out of college. It is the Phi
Beta "Kappa men, the few high
rank men, that gather the prizes in
the struggles where man meets man,
nine to one."
