HIS LIFE AND SERVICES EULOGIZED
Addresses Madn by ' Prof. H H. Wil
lianiB, Dr. Edwin Mima, and Mr. 0.
W. Tillet, of Charlotte. Music by
th University Quartette
Memorial services in honor of
the late Governor Charles Brant-
lev Aycock were held in the
chapel of the University last
Sunday afternoon. The services
a
wore in memory of a man both
reat and good, a man who, un
der the shade of Carolina's oaks,
in her classrooms and on her
campus, caught the inspiration for
his great work for the State. It
was most fitting, therefore, that
the University that helped him
as a college student should rever
ence his memory as a great North
Carolinian.
The services were presided
over by President Francis P.
Venablc. The invocation and
benediction were spoken by Rev.
II. W. Starr. Music was rendered
by the University Quartette.
Addresses were made by Prof. II.
11. Williams on "Aycock as a
College Student"; by Dr. Edwin
Mims on "Aycock's Service to
Education"; and by Mr. C. W.
TiUett, of Charlotte, on "Ay
cock the Man in Public Life."
Prof. Williams was in college
with Governor Aycock, and was
thus able to speak with uncom
mon interest of Aycock's life at
the University. Prof. Williams
spoke of Aycock's acknowledged
leadership in undergraduate af
fairs, of his dominant influence
in college politics, of his high
stand for clean politics, of the
ease with which he, even as an
undergraduate, organized and led
men; 'and of his faculty of orato
rical exposition. Prof. Williams
then attempted. to show in what
way the University influenced
Aycock, the independent student,
jealous of his own right of self
expression. Aycock did not draw
his inspiration from books or
from teachers, but from thp Uui-
versity life, in the conditions that
made up life at the University,
and in the impartial application
of standards which student life
makes. In this sphere Aycock
found his food. Here he opened
his mind and spirit. Here he
felt the deep h unger of the State
for new life saw that it must
come through education.
Dr. Mims spoke of Aycock's
service to education. Aycock's ;
philosophy of education was, said
Dr. Mims, the "bringing out of a
boy or girl -that whjch pod Ar
might , has put in him or her".
Extracts , from his last speech
were read to show that this
philosophy of education meant a

THIRD OF THE
Ginal Address Delivered by Dr. Hadley, Sunday
Night, on "The Spiritual Bases of
Recent Poetry
The last of the McNair Lec
tures was delivered by President
Arthur T. Hadley "on Sunday
night. The subject of the final
lecture was '-The Spiritual Basis
of Recent Poetry," The largest
croard that has heard any one o
the lectures was present.
In his lecture Dr. Hadley sough
to snow the change from the
poetry of mysticism and peace of
the early half of the 19th century
to the poetry of struggle, of hope
and preparation for the future o
the latter half of the century
I he successive stages by whicl
these changes were brought about
were given, together with illumi
nating quotations that illustrated
the speaker's points.
An age of political complacency
is also an age of religious com
placency, said Dr. Hadley. When
authority predominates the re
ligious element is essentiall
mystical. The first half of the
l')th century was one of peace
its poetry was that of calm and
peace and complacency. In- tl
latter part of the 18th century
Blake had taught that life is a
conflict between the individua
man and the forces of repression
willi which God was identified
Rousseau, in Prance, Schiller and
Goethe, in Germany, led in the
movement to give opportunity to
individual freedom and develop
ment The French Revolution
gave full play to these theories
and they failed. Men, with few
exceptions, went back to the law
of conventions. Literature be
came conventional. Poetry made
no pretence of summoning men to
a struggle. It was contemplative
and romantic. Neither Words
worth or Srott had any message
to the fighting men of the dny.
Southey, Byron, Shelley, Keats
none of them had a message. Al
they left was but a row ol splen
did pictures.
Englishmen turned to the viia
messages of Ruskin and Newman,
but were disappointed in them,
for their messages tailed to meet
the needs of the age. Yet one
English poet did have a message
with which he faced the past and
nrpnared for the future. It was
f - ti
because of this message of prepa
ration, thisintellectual helpgiven,
that men turned to Robert Brown
iny. It is because of this that his
influence has steadily grown. His
philosophy was that of giving to
others the opportunity to realize
what is in themselves. His was
nnetrv of lost causes never so
...- f j
triumphant as when cast down.
Browning
believed as did Blake
in individual vitality, but he did
f link God with repression. "I
have jived", was the cry of
Paracelsus. And his living was
positive one, in which the aim for
power went hand in hand with
the aim to help his fellowman.
Browning taught that life is not

ORGANIZATION
OF PRESS MEN
College Men of South Atlantic States Form
Association for the Promotion of
Journalism H
The Southern College Press
Association is now in concrete
form. It is a definite, live organ
ization with every prospect for a
glorious future. Last week rep
resentatives of seven leading uni
versities of the South Atlantic
States met in Columbia; S. C, for
the purpose of considering the
binding together of Southern col
lege journalists for mutual bent
fit. The following institutions
had representatives present: Uni
versiy of Virginia, William and
Mary, V. P. 1., University of
North Carolina, University of
South Carolina, Clemson, and
University of Georgia Charter
membership was limited to the
South Atlantic States for the
practical reason of ease in organ
izing. Next year the entire South
will be embraced, including insti
tutions of the standing of Van
derbilt and Tulane. Membership
is limited to those colleges which
support, at least a weekly and
monthly publication. The num
ber of Southern colleges which
meet this requirement is at present
surprisingly small, andone of the
Objects of the Association is to
promote the establishment of
newspapers and magazines in
t her col 1 eges.-- T h e only col 1 ege s
which were invited to join in the
movement and were not repre
sented at the Columbia conven
tion were Washington and Lee,
Notth Carolina A. and M., and
Stetson University of Florida.
The credit for the founding of
the Association is due Messrs.
Broadus Mitchell and Sam Lati
mer, Jr., of the University of
South Carolina. These men,
both of whom have had journal
istic experience on both college
weeklies and city dailies, took up
the matter sometime ago. The
result of a voluminous corres
pondencecomprising over 300
letters was the Columbia con
vention.
Everything possible was done
for the entertainment of the dele
gates, who were tendered a din
ner, a luncheon, and automobile
ride over Columbia, a reception,
and overwhelmed with various
minor attentions, l we testivi-
ties culminated Thursday night
with the First Annual Southern
College Press Association Ball,
given by the German Club of
the University of South Carolina.
The Association accepted a
most cordial invitation to hold
the second annual meeting next
spring in Charlottesville with the
University of Virginia. A bid for
he next convention was also re
ceived from the city of Greens
boro.
A constitution was adopted, anc(
plans made for putting the organ
ization upon a firm footing, the
primary object being to give the
eollege journalist the same inter
collegiate intercourse enjoyed by
the athlete and to some extent by
the orator and debater. Officers
or the ensuing year were elected
as loiiows: rrcsiuent, tJroadus

THE NAVY DE-
FEATS CAROLINA
AlFmelyTContested Game Goes to
men by Score of 1
to 0
The midshipmen won from the
University of North Carolina in a
finely contested game at Annapo
lis. Md Aoril 20, 1 to 0. The
game was a pitchers battle from
start to finish, and there was lit
tle to choose between thework of
Vinson, the cool-headed and re
liable little middy, and Wood,
who occupied the mound for the
lads from the Tar Heel State.
Though the middles secured three
more hits than their opponents,
Wood kept them well scattered.
and the single run chalked up by
the sailor boys was largely the
result of errors.
In the first inning the middles
bunched two singles and a sacri
fice, but they could not get in a
run. After that, honors between
the opposing twirlers were about
even. Clever work by the center
field man of each team, however,
prevented a couple of long drives.
Osborne of the Navy, won the
plaudits of the crowd when he
hauled down Leak's deep drive to
centre with his gloved hand, in
the sixth inning; and he also
made a fine catch of Bailey's long
hit in the seventh. , But it was
like taking the starch out of
Osborne in the eighth, when
Page,... made. .a , pretty, running
catch of Osborne's hit between
center and right that looked good
for at least two sacks.
.; The Navy lads got their single
tally in the fifth inning. Hall,
first man up, hit a grounder to
Short, which Winstead failed to
handle properly, and the middy
was safe. Hajl stole second, and
went to third on Wood's wild
pitch. In the meantime, Wood
issued a free pass to Osborne
Adams then hit a slow one to
the pitcher, and the throw home
was not in time to catch Hall
