Dr. 'Henry Van Dyke will deliver the
McNair lectures on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday nights. Sunday morning
he will preach the University sermon
for March. Dr. Van Dyke has an m
ternational reputation as writer, lec
turer and preacher. His attractive-
ness as a speaker rests not on mere or
atory but on the beauty and grace of
the diction in which his thoughts are
clothed. Dr. Van Dyke is the most
prominent literary man the University
has entertained in several years. Ev
ery student owes it to himself to hear
these lectures, even if it necessitates
the slighting of textbook work.
The Glee Club and Orchestra made
an exceedingly favorable impression in
Western North Carolina. They were
greeted by enthusiastic audiences ev
erywhere they performed. The keys
of the various cities were theirs for
the asking. The success of. this sea
son's Glee Club and Orchestra has been
due to efficient work by the directors
and the hearty support and co-opera
tion by those of our students having
musical talent. Here we pause to say
that no University activity can hope
for success without hearty support and
co-operation on the part of the stu
dents. The lack of such support and co-operation
coupled with an unfortunate
choice of a play were responsible for the
not overly great success ofthis season's
Dramatic Club. A number of men in
college posessing considerable dra
matic talent would have nothing to do
with the play. Ergo but let dead
dogs lie.
However, there'll be a meeting of
the Dramatic Club at 2:15 Thursday
afternoon. Officers for next year will
be elected and plans for the same pe
Tiod will be discussed. We would sug
gest particularly that they beinn seek
ing a play for the coming season.
Surely there is some play in existence
better suited to college dramatic com
panies than the last one produced.
This brings up a pointwhy in the
workl'don't the other large preparato
ry institutions of the State get out bet
ter and more numerous papers? A
number of them publish monthlies but
why not more weeklies? Surely they
can find plenty of news if they'll use
some energy and initiative.
The query for the commencement
debate concerns the election of U. S.
Senators by direct vote of thepeople.
Most of the available material onlthis
question is contained in the current
magazines. Naturally and necessarily
tbedebatersjiseek the library maga
zines. Here they have met an irritating
difficulty. Some personal as been kind
enough to cut out the desired articles,
whether through spite or friendliness
we don't know. At any rate we wish
to assure the guilty one or more that
such a thing is childish and thorough
ly contemptible.
We have just finished a perusal of
the University's new catalogue. This
entertaining volume shows the Univer
sity to be in a very fair condition de
spite the financial needs of the last few
years. Three courses are off ered lead
ing to , the A. B. degree. In the
School of Science courses are offered
in chemical, electrical, civil, road and
mining engineering ana soil investi
gation. The Graduate School offers
instruction in sixty-five advanced
studies. There are special courses
for those preparing to teach. In
addition there are professional schools
of law, medicine and pharmacy.
Further in the last two years the
teaching force in certain departments
has been considerably strengthened
until now we can say without boast
ing that there is no stronger arid bet
ter balanced college faculty in the
South. There are 84 members of the;
faculty and 787 students in attendance.
The University is certainly making
every effort to supply all the needs of
the State and the recent appropria
tion by the Legislature will make its
work still more effective. New and
uecessary buildings will soon be
erected. Then there will be practi
cally no reason at all for any students
eaving the State to secure University

this is because the editor is a young
