', The work of the squad during
the early part of the week was
rather light, in order that the men
might have time to thoroughly re
cuperate from the hard battle with
the Princeton team last Saturday,
None of the players were hurt save
for a slightly strained muscle here
and there. Doctor Lawson pro
nounced them all in good shape be
fore they left for Harvard. A few
changes were made in the line-up
of the varsity. Tennenfc is being
tried out at half back and seems to
be in his right place. His work in
the Princeton game shows him to
'be able, on account of his weight
and drive, to hit the line hard and
to take the punishment both on of
fense and defense. Crawford is
playing right tackle and Ilamsey
right end on offense, and the re
verse on defense. Ramsey and
Tayloe both have consistently
shown tfieir ability in getting down
under punts, and the change makes
it more difficult for the opposing
team to gain ground by runuing
back-punts. This change is, how
ever, merely a trial.
Coleman and Folger are improv
ing the height and distance of
their kicks, giving the ends plenty
of time to get down. Both these
men punted well ill the Princeton
game, Coleman toward the end of
the game handled a bad pass be
hind our goal line and pulled off
a kick that was close to sixty yards.
The whole team is getting more
drive and are going well.
The team left for Harvard last
"Wednesday night. They boarded
a special car at Durham and ar

DR. BATTLE DESCRIBES
CEREMONIES IN LAYING
OF FIRST CORNERSTONE
The sweetgums and dogwoods
and maples were relieving with
their russet and golden hues the
general green of the forest. A
long procession of people for the
first time is marching along the
narrow road, afterwards to be
widened into a noble avenue.
Many of them are clad in the
striking, typical insignia of the
Masonic Fraternity, their Grand
Master arrayed in the full dec
orations of his. rank. They
march with military tread, be
cause most of them have seen
service, many scarred with
wounds of horrid war. Their
faces are serious, for they feel
that they are engaged in a great
work. They are proceeding to
lay the foundations of an insti
tution which for weal or woe is
to shape the minds of thousands
of unborn children; whose in
fluence will be felt more and
more, ever widening and deepen
ing as the years roll on, as one
of the great forces of civiliza
tion. Dr. Battle's History.
QUERY FOR HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATING UNION CHOSEN
"Resolved, that the Federal
Government should own and oper
ate the railways," is the query re
cently announced by. the commit
tee of the High School Debating
Union for the 1917 contest.
The contest this year will be
conducted in accordance with the
same general plan that has been
followed in previous years. The
High schools entering the contest
will be arranged into groups of
three for triangular debates. Each
school will furnish two teams of
two members each, one team to
uphold the affirmative side, and
the other to defend the negative.
Any school that wins both its de
bates will be entitled to send both
teams to tlie University, when the
best affirmative and the best nega
tive team will be selected, by means
of preliminary contests, to debate
in Memorial Hall for the Aycock
Cup.
The first part of April, the date
for the final contest at Chapel Hill
will mark the fifth year of the De
bating Union's existence. In the
four contests that have been held
since vl913, Pleasant Garden, Winston-Salem,
Wilson, and Graham
have-been the winners. Last year
1300 high school students repre
senting 325 schools participated in
the contests, and it is estimated
that 80,000 people of this state
listened to the discussions of these
debaters. This year the commit
tee is confident that there will bo
fully 350 schools enrolled in the
Union.
The first University Sermon of
the series of 191G-1917 will be de
livered in the Chapel of the Uni
versity on Sunday, October 15, at
11 o'clock A. M., by Rev.. N. II.

Delivers Address
EX PRESIDENT TAFT MAY
COME HERE IN DECEMBER
If nothing unforeseen happens
Chapel Hill is going to have the
pleasure of another visit by Ex
President William Howard Taft
during the first week of December.
He will be in the State about that
time, and arrangements have been
made to have him come to the Uni
versity and deliver a lecture. Mr.
Taft is kindlv remembered here
by all who heard him two years
ago, when he delivered a series of
lectures on "The Duties of the
American Executive." He is a
man of charming personality and
an interesting speaker,' as well as
an undisputed authority on the re
sponsibilities of citizenship and
duties of the presidency. The
University community will be glad
to welcome Mr. Taft back again.

FRED FARTHING ELECTED
CAPTAIN OF TRACK TEAM
On account of Johnny John
son's failure to return to Carolina,
the track squad was left without a
captain. This vacancy has recent
ly been filled by the election of
Fred Farthing.
Captain Farthing urges all new
men to go out every afternoon and
vork, since the one year rule does
not apply to track.
There will be a cross-country
meet with A. and M. this fall and
more material is needed to pick
from. "No coach has yet been de
cided upon, but the track is open
to men after five o'clock and plenty
of roads are available for long dis
tance work.
There are only two hard boys in
this whole community, and Hugh
Dortch is both of them. Joe Con
ger and Grey Graham dispute his
title, however.
ANNIVERSARY
"IMAGINATION" ITS'PLACE
IN OUR LIFE AND THINKING
IS THEME OF SPEAKER
MANY MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED
FROM ALUMNI IN THIS
AND OTHER STATES
With Dr. Edwin Mims, of Van
derbilt University, as the princi
pal speaker, the annual University
Day exercises were held in Mem
orial Hall on Thursday morning
in celebration of the 123rd birth
day of the University. The cele
bration was made especially not
able by the return to the Univer
sity of the cornerstone plate of
the first building, erected in 1793,
which disappeared soon after the
Civil War. It was found in Clarks
ville, Tenn., by an alumnus of
the University, who returned it
just in time for the celebration.
Grand Master A. B. Andrews, of
Raleigh, presented it in behalf of
the Masons, who originally placed
it in the cornerstone.
f The exercises began at 10:45,
when the procession of students
in double file, headed by the band,
'started from the Alumni Building
ttard Memorial Hall. Just op-
pose me Jia vyest jjuiiuiijj mu
line opened to the right ' and left
and allowed the faculty members
to pass through;' The crowds of
'students and visitors pouring into.
the large auditorium soon filled
most of its seats. :
After the invocation by Rev.
W. D. Moss and the singing of the
University hymn, President Gra
ham arose to introduce the speaker.
"We welcome Dr. Mims to the
University," said the President,
"not alone because of his national
reputation' as' a writer, but also
because of the love we bear him
as a former member of this insti
tution. We honor him as a schol
ar, as a teacher, and as a man of
letters, but we rejoice to have
him here as a friend."
Dr. Mims in opening his ad
dress declared that he did not in
tend to discuss the European war
or the function of the University,
or to attempt to solve the social
political, or educational problems
of the nation; but that he. would
speak on a very concrete subject:
"The Imagination: Its Place in
Our Life and Thinking."
In the outset he tried to free his
hearers from the notion that im
agination is mere "fancy, or poet
ry, or moonshine." "I maintain
that it is one of the regal powers
of the mind, that a man of imag
ination holds the key to many of
our most vital needs and problems,
that the cultivation of the various
forms if imagination is one of the
.prjmal needs of the individual and
of society. To enforce his belief
