THE TAPPING OF THE GOLDEN
FLEECE
The tapping of the Golden Fleece
Tuesday night made history.
Gerrard was bulging with a capac
ity crowd of students. The Governor
made the best address he's ever made
here. Then came the tapping. The
form of tapping was the same the
impressive ceremony of those two
masked figures wearing the fleece.
But the setting was different. For
the first time, perhaps, the entire stu
dent body was given a chance to see
the ceremonies at a time when all
could be present. And at the apex
of the evening the ceremonies came,
came attended by a dramatic tension
on the part of that audience that tes
tified to the fine solemnity of that
occasion.
A distinct step forward has been
made. The student body has gained
an impression it will not forget.
Never before has the fine purpose of
the Golden Fleece, which has been a
great builder of our campus life, been
more definite in the minds of the stu
dent body than at present. The
Fleece has done a big thing. Every
one will be helped.
A SMOKER WITH A BACKBONE
On Wednesday night the Senior
class had as its guests the University
faculty. The attendance was well over
one hundred.
The clas of 1920 has never hard
such a smoker. It is doubtful if any
University class has had such a smok
er. The froth and bubbles of such
affairs was present, in the talks, of
course. But there was something sol
id and meaty about this smoker also.
Finally, the relationship between
those two groups of men, the Seniors
and the faculty, was laid bare and in
that open uncovering there was a
sacred exchange of confidences.
The president said it for the fac
ulty. And he certainly said it. He
told shortly and simply the story of
the University reeling' after the bat
tle from its own tragic losses, of the"1
all-pervading gloom, with reference
to the future. And the Seniors came
back this war class of 1920 moved
by the impulse to help their Univer
sity in its restoration. "We think
you're a great class," he told them.
"God bless you all." He sat down
then, but the class was deeply stirred
by what the president had said.
They knew he had made an utterance
for himself and the faculty that rang
true and deep.
During the intermission the faculty
and students mixed around and in
their genial comradeship, got all
tangled up so that when the evening
was over, a general unscrambling was
necessary. :
The student-teacher relationship,
we think, is one of the finest of hu
man relationships when it is marked
by the understanding and sincerity
of that meeting. It was a great even
ing. The University, is going to profit
by it.
The Tar Baby, in pursuance of its
course of doing all things well and
albeit,, cleverly, has sprung some
thing new in creation with regard to
its attitude towards its humble sub
scribers in Chapel Hill. We don't
want to be considered kickers, knock
ersor that still more despicable animal-
bellyachers, but ie seems to us
that the subscribers of the aforesaid
publication have an inalienable right
not, perhaps to life, liberty, etc., but
to receive their Tar Babies on time.
This we believe to be inseparable to
men on the campus a veritable "im
maculate conception," as it were, in the
being of men who laught at the Baby's
jokes but who object to waiting
three days after the Baby goes on
sale in town to get theirs out of the
postoffice.
We don't know the big . idea that
impels the management of the Baby,
Inc., to indulge in such a policy as
this towards its subscribers here. If
it i3 the fault of the postal officials
we lay it - to the already very much
clattered-up door of the Honorable
Burleson, Esq., but if the management
is merely seeking to lift our kale by
compelling us to subscribe and then
buy an extra copy or else wait and
run the risk of growing stale then,
Gent, with all respects to you. we
pronounce impure cussedness on your
part and register herewith our right
eous indignation, etc., etc. The sub
scribers Gent, of the T. B., Inc., have
a right to their copies of your es
teemed publication after they are on
sale at Roisters and Sim Jim's even
if you lose a few dollars thereby.

Dr. Hamilton Contributes
Volume to N. C. History
An important contribution to the
history of North Carolina is embodied
in three quarto volumes, bearing the
imprint of the Lewis Publishing
Company (Chicago and New York,
1919). Volume I, by R. D. W. Con
nor' (U. N. C, class of 1899), Secre
tary of the North Carolina Historical
Commission, is entitled: "The Colon-
nial and Revolutionary Periods, 185'-
1873." Volume II, by W. K. Boyd.
rofessor of History in Trinity Col-
ege, is entitled: "lhe Federal re-
iod, 1783-1860." Volume III, by J.
deR. Hamilton, Alumni Professor
History in this institution, is en
titled: "North Carolina Since 1860."
No extended review in this place is
permissible for lack of space. At
tention is called to the features of
this work especially deserving of at
tention, namely: the immense quan
tity and variety of. some materials
upon which the authors have drawn,
materials which, in many cases, have
not been drawn upon by those who
have written the state's history; the
scholarly character of the work, each
volume being written by a trained
historian, deeply versed in the his
tory and literature of the period; the
f.-T 'i. i j 1 i l 1 1
taieiui tiiauoii oi autnorrcy ana xne
bibliographical lists, which should
prove useful to students; and the un
affected, straight-forward style of all
three volumes, even though each is
written by a different hand. In his
volume, Mr. Connor's purpose, as he
states in the preface, "has been to
bring out more fully than has here
tofore been attempted the relation of
North Carolina to the British Em
pire in America of which it was a
part';' and this he has done more
fully and effectively than anyone who
had preceded him. Professor Boyd's
task was perhaps the most difficult of
the three for two reasons: . First,
that it lacked the romantic color and
high narrative interest afforded, in
the one case, by the founding of the
colony and by the great drama of the
Revolution, in the other by the war
of the sections with its complex and
stirring aftermath of reconstruction;
and second, that the Federal period
has been less studied than any other
period of our history. Much research
was required for the production of
this volume, and chapters of excep
tional interest are: "Banking Prob
lems, 1804-1835," "Religious Develop
ment After the Revolution," and
"Academies and Higher Education."
The author of the standard work, "Re
construction in North Carolina," had
already established himself as the
leading authority iri the Civil War and
post-bellum eras; and his interest in
current political questions, constitu
tional reform, and large isses of
public welfar give authority and force
to the volume by Dr. Hamilton. Of
particular interest are the chapters on
"White Supremacy," "Educational
Development," and "Social Tendencies."
Declaring that all relationships be
tween. labor and labor control must
have a humanity of soul and spirit
in order to be of permanent success.
James B. Watson, industrial secretary
of the International Y. M. C. A. move
ment. spoke to the Y cabinet and
others Tuesday afternoon in the Cab
inet room.
Pie asserted that it was his experi
ence to know that the more men put
into any service the more they like
the work and that in four years of
college life the individual was given
an opportunity to meet and know
other men as would never be pre
sented again.
One per cent of the country's popu
lation, Mr. Watson said, are college
men and that one per cent are vir
tually the leaders of the country. So,
he continues, to us comes the respon
sibility of preparing ourselves for
leadership, ' and develop , our possibil
ities to permanent assets.
College ' students, according to Mr
Watson, are apt to put foreign la
borers off into a corner and call them
a "problem." The unjustness of this
classification he shows by citing cases
of well-educated men of foreign
race doing menial jobs in every part
pi tne industrial world. One instance
was of a miner who was formerly
proiessor of Languages at the Uni
versity of Cairo, Egypt.
In speaking of this problem. Mr.
Watson disapproved of the way the
b.eas were bundled back to their
respective countries. "No doubt," he
says, the deportation was conducted
with the best of intentions, but it is
said that Hell, is paved with eood in
tentions." :?
Mr, Watson is one of the secre
taries of the industrial department,
international committte Y, M. C. A.

Mines from 1909 to 1912, and at
Stanford University, California, from

was in South America, where he work
ed with the students in the govern
ment schools in Argentine, Brazil and
Uruguay. He was the first man to
introduce Y. M. C. A. work in t.h
universities of Brazil, where he work
ed three years, dividing the time be
tween the capitol, Rio de Janeiro, and

Paulo.

THE ilOGRAPH
Si Goodmark's fond ambition's bud
Is neatly nipped by our friend Dud.
With forty others in like fix
Si owns the economis six.
Three chosen spirits were by a four
bo shocked that they are now no
more.
But though they're gone, still lives
their name -
Forever in the Hall of Fame,
Along with two of last year's class,
Who made the Superhuman Pass.
Though we make ones in Greek and
Latin
And our grades on rock pudding fat
ten,
Though we do passing well in History
And from its heart pluck out the
mystery,
Though we astound in Gastronomies,
icss
To those who pass in Economics
We doff our hat and bend our knees,
And strive their passing whim to
please,
To say to them: "Well may you
chortle
For you have made yourselves im
mortal. Sit here in-front, we're glad to go
Way back and sit on the last row."

An unusually interesting series of j
articles, involving detailed research,
has ben apparing in the High School
Journal. This " series, entitled "The
Academy Movement in the South,"
is written by Professor Edgar W.
Knight, whose work in secondary ed
ucation in North Carolina (Houghton,
Mi m Co.) is widely and favorably
known. Part of an address eriven by
rofessor Knight before the North
Carolina Teachers' Assembly, at Ral-
lgh, N. C, November 26. 1919, on
Tublic Education in the South; Some
nherited Ills and Some Needed Re
forms," occupies the leading position
in School and Society for January
10, 1920 (vol. xi, No. 263). Alumni
Cy Thompson Says-
To Ex-Service Men:
President Wilson has signed
the Sweet law recently passed
by Congress, making many de
sirable changes in the six per
manent forms of Government
Life Insurance. The choice of
lump sum settlement to your
estate is one of them.
Come in to see me in my of
fice opposite the ' campus and
learn in detail how you may re
instate your lapsed policy or
convert all or any portion of
yours.
Unless you need additional
coverage, particularly for pro
tection to credit, we . will not
even discuss the advantages of
the superior service that the
first-chartered purely mutual
Amercian company offers over
most commercial companies.
