OCTOBER 16, 1913 NO. 5 THE BIRTHDAY OF THE UNIVERSITY OBSERVED WITH FITTING CEREMONY t t The 120th Anniversary Observed Saturday. Secretary Josephus Daniels, Pres. Graham, Dr. Archibald Henderson and Prof. M. H. Stacy Speak The forces regnent in this Uni versity of ours, with their un challenged promise and creative fertility, .tempts one less to re trospection than to prophecy." These words spoken by Dr. Arch ' bald Heuderson last Saturday sounded the keynote of the Uni versity's celebration of it's one-hundred-twentieth anniversary. With but a glance at the history of the institution, rich in service and achievement, the spirit of the day emphasized the opportun ity of the present and construc tive plans for the future The Presideut reported that through its Bureau of Extension the Uni versity hopes to make its campus co-extensive with the. boundaries of the State. Honorable Jose phus Daniels. Secretary of Navy, rendered the occasion memorable by his presence and1 his message of "North Carolina Spirit." The celebration here at home was connected with numerous celebrations all over the country, as alumni and .friends, though absen t iii person, yet joined them selves' iu spirit, sent to their Uni versity hearty congratulations on its birthday. From Greeusboro came this telegram : "The faculty and students of the State Normal send greetings and all good wish es on this anniversarp occasion." A message from Germauy brought Dr. Venerable's best wishes. The features of the day were the able addresses of Secretary naninl. tl.e stirring soeech of Xyuuvi.-f -41 c Dr. Henderson and the encourag ing "introductory" address of the President. President Graham, in making his report of the year, announced that the registration has reached 871. This exceeds the total number exer registered in any one .fear by 34 and is 100 above the number ever registered at any one time before. Registra tion in our academic department exceeds that of any other South ern college except ' the University of Texas, which is co-educational. Ih addition to those taught directly on the campus, said the President, the faculty has under taken so to extend its activities as lo put the University in warm, sensitive touch with every prob lem in N. C- life, making: the campus co-extensive with the boundaries of the State. As to the condition of the stu dents on the campus, President Graham said that their main interest is in their college work, our attendance record comparing favorably with those of other high-grade institutions, football is properly one of the student activities; but it is not an all absording one. The record of serious attention to required duties is borne out by the three outstanding voluntary activities in the life of the average N. C. stndent thhat sow his true nature and genius. These are his inter est in debating, in religion, and in self-government. The success of the literary societies and the great work of the religious or ganizations are a part of a fun demental activity a slow 1 y evolving system of self govern ment which is the highest achievement of the University student community. The next speaker was Dr. Archibald Henderson, who on account of the high praise that he has won at home and abroad for his work in literature and science is eminently fitted to speak on "The University and the Nation." Said Dr. Hender son iu part, "Viewed in the light of national perspective, the Uni versity of the new era can no longer rest content to educate the individual mind. Its pro phetic desting is to educate the popular mind, to raise the stand ards of politics and government to the highest level of enlighten of public opinion. This Univer sity has recently created a Bu reau of Extension. In a true sense isjthis work termed "exten siou," for it is but an extension of the national service to educa tion already abundantly rendered by this inttitution and its alumni. Dr. B'alock, educational expert, placed this institution in the first and foremost rank of Americau Universities. Prom the Southern institutions have recently come sech leaders in national affairs as Wilson, Daniels, Houston, Un derwood, Simmons, Craig, Page and Holmes. In this hour of liberty and responsibility the nation once moae turns for gui dence to the South, the ancient mother of national leadership. j Hon. Josephus Daniels then delivered his . address, speaking in part as follows: "North Caro linians are differentiated from the people of other states by an indefinable spirit, a spirit blos soming in the simple life, simple faith and love of home, a spirit incarnated m Macon, Vance and Aycock. Have we loved the simple life because we have lived far removed from the garnish sights of a more complex civiliza tion ( INo. Uur virtues were not the accident of environment. ' II They were they are they wi ever be the texture of our iives. I call upon the young men of N. C. to incarnate this N. C. spirit ie their lives and let it be the inspiring light of tne future as it has been the steady glow of the past. The N. U. spirit ot simple life and simple faith, of love of one's neighbors, of open hearts and warm hospitality, of rngged integrity and courage, has led us to the heights upon which we stand in this glad hour. Let us , A , A . i t I now mvoKe tnai spinr, man God, and take courage. SEPTEMBER 27. U. N. C. vs WAKE FOREST 7.. (7 0 .'OCTOBER 4. U. N. C. vs MED. COLLEGE is 0 OCTOBER 11. U. N.

At a meeting of? the Greater Council Tuesday night a number of interesting suggestions were made and discussed. Among other things an idea which Dr. Herty presented some time ago in chapel was considered, namely, that "the student body by doing some work or making some gift for the benefit of the to n and community, erect for itself a memorial. I) r. Herty was present and explained more fully his idea, and discussed it with the Council. A number of plans were tentatively considered. These embraced an artistic and useful fountain at the site of the well on Alain street; ; an efficient and ornamental system of lights for several blocks on main street, and others. Committees were appointed to investigate the practicapility of suggested plans. In the discussion of campus life, the matter of the inadequate drinking facilities at the well was brought up. A committee was formed to try to formulate some plan for a more convenient and sanitary arrangement than the present pump and free-for-all dipper. In this as in all other matters the Greater Council, working for the welfare of the campus, would appreciate the suggestions of any member of the community. Various Alumni Celebrations. Dr. Mangum addressed the Alumni Association of Mecklen burg County at the University Day Banquet. Buncombe County Alumni had an enthusiastic meeting. a , lettter from Coach "Doggie" relative to the iootball situation aroused a great deal of interest. , Several com in it tecs were ap- pointed to help him in his work . , i ... :n i. cl Another banquet will be held about January 1 and it is hoped to have increased interest by hat time. I The Alumni in New York held , a novel and entertaining banquet. The affair was a beefsteak dinner at which the members sat on stools in a circle and ate from the bottoms of bisected barrels. Ap propriate costumes were worn. A. Marvin Carr was chairman of the arrangement committee. I R. G. Shoat, ex-'14, was on the Hill for University Day. CAROLINA FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTATION IN GAME AGAINST DAVIDSON BUNCH Carolina Failed to Score Until the Last Quarter. Foust's Kicking was Great. Backfield Open to Much Just Criticism Carolina Position Davidson Homewood, Long RE. Creighton, Brownley Abernathy L. , Edwards R. T. Anderson Foust, Johnson R. G. Glower Abernathy R. , Tandy C. Peters, Laird, Robinson Cowell, Andrews L. G. J Brady Ramsey, Edwards L. T. Howell, McCoy Huske, Joyner L. E. Cosby Lord, Allen Q. Elliott, Keesler Reed, Burnette R. II. Walker Tayloe L. II. McKinnon Ervin, Fuller F. , Summerville One touchdown, and that in the last six minutes Poor wor,k of the backfield and indifferent linework in the iame asrainst Davidson at Greensboro Saturda' tells the tale of one touchdown. The first quarter ended with the ball where it started the center of the field. Neither side could gain consistently, through Carolina's failure to shift in the line to meet Davidson's shift in the backfield resulted in several needless gains by the Presbyter iane. Tayloe's two attempts at drop kicks were highly unsucess- full. Foust's punting in the second gave Carolina the advantage Unsuccessful forward passes ill timed plays, and the failure to block Davidson's end on punts were all overcome by Foust's good left toe. With fresh men in the lineup, Carolina become more aggresive in the third. The ball was push ed down close to Davidson's line. ' A forward pass was inter cepted by a Davidson man who ran the ball to the middle of the field. A successful pass by the Red and Black put the ball on Carolina's 20 yard line. But Davidsou failed to gain another inch. An exchange of punts followed in favor of Carolina. Line plunges left the ball on Davidson's 16 yard line. The quarter ended. More line plunres, a forward pass to Tayloe, and an over tackle play by Fuller resulted in the only touchdown. Tayloe really made the touchdown, but the referee ruled that he stepped out of the field a yard from the goal. Tandy kicked goal. At this time, the conduct of the Davidson rooters was disgraceful. They crowded the sideline and even came on the field. They yelled and tried to drown Lords signals. They were finally driven driven by the threat to call the game. The last few minutes of play resulted in nothing", the srame ended with the ball in the middle of the field. Carolina is potentially much stronger than the score reveals. The line is good, undoubtdly. Ramsey's playing, as usual, des erves praise. He made most of the itackles, going down under The team was badly The plays were not mixed enough. Passes were poorly made. The .backs failed to take the holes made for them, and the interference did little to keep the opponents out of the play. -The game was a hard fought one. Several men being injured on both sides. Peters, Davidson's center, was knocked unconscious. It was feared for several hours that he had concussion of the brain. Ervin and Reed both have badly injured shoulders.
