Memorial to President Graham .
President Graham recognized this
as ,one of the most urgent needs of
the University and the student body.
He was thinking and planning for it
at the time of his death. In fact, he
had gone so far as to draw up tenta
tive plans for such a building.
And when the Trustees and faculty
of the University met to consider a
memorial they decided that the most
fitting memorial would be this Student
Activities Building which represented
the :desire and the hope of President
Graham, and at. the same time em
bodied his interest and his service to
Carolina men.
What Will it Mean?
Most men say that the extra-curri
. culum activities represent the most
important part pf college life. Wheth
er, that be true or .not, there is no
one who does not know that these or
. ganizations and activities springing
naturally from student consciousness
of their needs, growing out of the
natural desire to associate themselves
together for mutual purposes, con
stitute a most important element of
college life. .:.
And especially in this University, on
this , campus, where student life is
richer, where student standards are
higher, where the University is gov
erned and directed by the students
themselves, the great, bare, outstand
ing need is a Student Activities Build
ing which will replace the home
less and unorganized condition of col
lege activities with their haphazard
meeting places, by drawing" into arid
co-ordinating in a common home col
lege activities already existent, and
by providing for needs keenly felt but
hitherto unprovided for.
, The most important element, the
most representative thing, that which
makes this college life, this Carolina
spirit, what it is, is not only without
stimulant or incentive, but without a
:.. home! ; ;
Think what it will mean to you to
have this home of student life where
the students can meet together! Think
what it will mean to the life and spirit
of your organizations to have such a
place to meet in! Think what it would
mean to enrich the life of the cam
pus by this Graham Memorial!
-: Statewide Significance
i President Graham was a statewide
and more than statewide figure. ' The
University, too, through its alumni in
every community, is a vitalizing or
ganism inwrought into the life of the
State. The University campus which
represents at present with an atten
dance of 800 men, 91 counties, and
which in normal times represents ev
ery county and nearly every commu
nity in the State, is statewide in its
influence. And this Student Activities
Building, this Graham Memorial, is a
cause big enough to appeal to every
citizen in the State, if we can make
him see it vitally.
Success of Campaign -f.r
Depends on. Students
We who are now in college knew
President Graham. We represent the
four classes that have been in the Uni
versity during the time of his Presi
dency. We have felt the. inspiration
of his presence, and the gripping
power of his personality.
We are here and know the vital need !
for this Student Activities Building1.
We realize more keenly than others
its value to the student, to the Uni
versity and to the State..
The terms in which we think of
President Graham and his meaning,
the terms in which we think of the
memorialand its meaning, the stan
dard and the pace which the students
on this campus set, is going to deter
mine the response of the alumni
throughout the State, is going to de
Have it Framed Before
it Becomes Soiled
BIG ASSORTMENT OF
MOULDINGS
FOISTER'S
1 fter 1
termine the response1 of the' citizens
of the State who are not alumni, is go
ing to decide whether, or not this
memorial building is to be erected.
- What is Your Part? ..
' ' What is your part, your responsi
bility in this? What are you willing
to give to see this building on the
campus and to realize ' that- it was
erected while you were a student, and
that you had a share in its erection l ;
It is to cost $150,000.. What is your
part of that? We must think in big
terms.' Two years !. are allowed in
which to pay two summers in which
to work. .
One college in the State with a stu
dent body of 250 pledged over $10,000
to the cause of their .Alma Mater
Already on this campus two Caro
Una, men Working their way through
college save signified their willingness
to pledge $50 a man. Another has con
tributed $100. What will you do?
It may mean sacrifice to some. But
it's a sacrifice of service. It is in the
name of President Graham. It is in
the memory of his life. It is in appre
ciation of his service. It will be in
the spirif of Carolina it will write
your love for President Graham, your
love for Carolina, into a livme monu
ment of service to your Alma Mater,
and to the future generations of col
lege students who live here.

and will know exactly what to do.
The board is now planning for the
first issue, which will be on the Hill
the first of March.
It is the desire of every member
of the board to publish the best Maga
zine ever put out at Carolina. To
do this it will require the undivided
support of the student body. The
Magazine does not belong to the so
cieties or to the. board of editors, but
it is the possession of the entire stu-,
dent body. As such; it is urged to
make litiary contributions freely. The
editors wish the best stories, poems,
short plays, etc., that can be pro
duced by Carolina men.
Editor-in-Chief Rondthaler will
make a special appeal for contribu
tions when he returns.

FORMER PRESIDENT. DIES
v QUIETLY AT RESIDENCE

from the effects of the . war and a
financial panic was adding distress tc
poverty.
"Nothing daunted by these evils and
inspired by a lifetime love of the Uni
versity, Mr. Battle set vigorously to
work and canvassed the State fo:
funds. No other, man would have un
dertaken the task, and certainly w
other man could have accomplished it.
He appealed' to the alumni and to pa
triotic men not alumni, through the
press, by letter and by personal in
terview. The result was $20,000 and
the revival of the . University.
"But funds were lacking for sup
port of the institution as well as for
its, equipment. The faculty had to be
paid and the laboratory provided with
apparatus. The tuition, fees were en
tirely inadequate to meet these ex
penses. With wise foresight, Mr. Bat
tle had provided for this emergency.
Upon his representation of the needs
of the University, the General As
sembly appropriated for its annual
support $7,500, being the interest on
the. Land Script Fund of $125,000
donated .to the State by the National
Government.
"These two funds, both secured by
Mr. Battle, enabled the institution to
open its. doors September 6, 1875.
During the hundred years of its exis
tence the University had never re
ceived more loving service nor more
valuable aid' than was rendered in
1875 by the Honorable Kemp P. Bat
tle. Nor were his services to stop
there. Called to the presidency of the
institution in 1876, he gave with un
reserved devotion for fifteen years the
support and guidance necessary to
carry it through poverty, obliguy,
and popular indifference. He em
ployed his own credit to supply defi
ciencies in its treasury, made known
its. needs to the Legislature, and
secured annual grants for its support;
bore with patience calumnies, and by
lectures, by articles in the press, and
by organizing and successfully con
ducting a series of popular summer
normal schools, firmly established the
University in the affection and confi
dence of the people."
In 1891 Dr. Battle resigned from the
presidency and became head of the
newly established department of His
tory which had been made possible by
nis efforts. Under his guidance, the
department of History became one of
the leading departments of the Uni
versity. Since 1907 he has been Pro
fessor Emeritus of History.
lhrough his long years of service to
the University Dr. Battle won the
esteem and affection of the whole
State, but it is to the students of
Carolina that he has most endeared
himself. His friendship and sym
pathy, his vigorous interest in ev
erything and every person with whom
he has come in contact made an im
pression on the lives and ideals of
every student of the University. The
influence of his lovable personality
will live in the hearts of all those
who have had the privilege of know
ing "The Grand Old Man of the Uni
versity. lhe Tar Heel last week dedicated its
issue to Dr. Battle. With this issue it
is necessary to speak of him as one
who has passed and left a memorv
alway to be prized as a heritage tr
the sons and daughters of Carolina.

HEAR FIRST READING OF
FOUR ORIGINAL PLAYS

division. It is planned to put Miss
Reid's play of the negro life on at
some near future date at the same
time to have a complete programme
dealing with plays on the same sub
ject.',. ;.:,: ..:,.,;.
A good part of the scenery to be
used by the Carolina Playmakers has
already arrived. Some of this is the
finished, produVt, but a good part
of it is just raw materials out of
which students gifted along this line
are to construct scenery to fit certain
plays. . Professors Daggett, Rankin,
and Lear have this particular phase
of the work in hand. The electrical
branch of the University say that
they can produce any of the light
effects, desired or needed for any of
the productions. '. , . .' .
Thus it is seen that the Carolina
Playmakers is a community organiza
tion. It not only includes the actors
but the authors; it includes those of
artistic and practical trend; it includes
faculty, students and the entire com
munity. The membership is not
limited, and it is the hope of this or
ganization to give its plays not only
in this immediate locality but through
out North Carolina.

student understood the exact method

upon the subject "The Schoolhouse
as the Community Forum." He ex

principles should te incorporated in
every community today. He showed
how free speach was not a serious
ribr menacing privilege, and that if
allowed full headway no harm would
result. His speech was an argument
in favor of th-3 establishment - cf a
forum where everything pertaining
to the community might be .freely
discussed by all.
The subject of Dr. Jackson's lec
ture Wednesday ! night was "The
Schoolhouse as a Community Club."
He discussed the advantages that
would be derived from using the com
munity schoolhouse as a place for so
cial gatherings, as dances, dinner
parties, etc. He strongly advocated
that some place be established where
beys and girls might be brought to
gether under good auspices to engage
in social functions that would tend
to put them on -a mutual ground of
understanding each other. If this
could be accomplished, that the youth
might be uplifted and placed in a po
sition where they would see the noble
things of life, he said the Result
would be worth ten times the cost.
His lecture Thursday afternoon at
4:30 concluded his talks on the gen
eral title of "The Practice of Citizen
Iship," and it was also highly en
joyed by the audience. Dr. Jackson
is a most forceful speaker and he
puts all his thoughts over with a
"punch." He will be, indeed, welcome
to any Carolina audience whenever
he chooses to return
