THE NEW PRESIDENT
AND HIS PROGRAM
The inaugural ceremonies Wednes
day, attended by thousands, repre
sented by more than one hundred
colleges and universities in this coun
try and' abroad left the student body
profoundly impressed with the sa
credness and scope of the duties
entrusted to the new president, Harry
Woodburn Chase. The student body
saw vividly portrayed and clearly
stated the something which had: been
sensed before, the fact that we 3re
entering into a definite new era of
educational development, that here in
pur Southland, where the dominant
.forces of democracy are most plainly
evident, is the battle ground of this
iew reconstruction.
It is not our purpose to analyze
the statements of our various dis
tinguished guests - yesterday. Dr.
Abbot Lawrence Lowell, president of
Harvard .-. University, said substan
tially the same thing we have often
heard undergraduates say that, due
to prevailing ideas in colleges and
universities today, it is entirely
possible for a man to get a diploma
without an education. The fact that
Dr. Lowell's great university has led
.the way in liberalizing its views and
breaking away from the ancient idea,
gave an exceptional value to what
he said here. Nor can we fail to
remark on Dr. Hibben's talk;, in com
menting on the cordial 'relations
which have existed between the
university and Princeton, and the
invaluable service given to the Uni
versity in its pioneer days by
Princeton men.
As regards the president's inau
augural address: The president sees
his task as the development and
expansion of the work so gloriously
started by Dr. Graham. Dr. Gra
ham's inaugural dealt with the rela
tions of the university to the state.
That inaugural address was a mighty
;program which that man carried1
through to complete success. At the
time of Dr. Graham's death, North
Carolina knew that its great univer
sity was travelling on a line of
service, not to a chosen few hundred
on the college campus, but to all the
people of all the state. The pulsing
life of the university could not be
held in the narrow confines of the
campus walls, it had leaped in a
brief four years to every hamlet In
the state. Thousands of people who
had never seen the University campus
had felt its influence had been
derived practical aid through its ex
tension service.
On the campus, men were growing
themselves into the responsibilities pf
citizenship. A community grew up
on the campus that was more ideally
self -expressive and democratic than
any the state has yet known. The
students were a self-governing body;
jn his great concept of student life,
the president saw that these men
were consciously expression them
selves in their lives here for future
service to their state. The Univer
sity offered a four years' course in
citizenshiD to all who came here.
Thus did Dr. Graham carry out his
program.
The new president stated his pro
gram Wednesday. The work has been
started. The vital relation to the
f'tate has been established; there are
few who will today deny that the
university is the spring-source of n
telligent citizenship in North Caro
lina. Now comes the new leader,
his program of the New University
and the New South. Here in ihe
South he sees the glowing hope of
tomorrow, the first period of develop
ment is even now upon us. Here
in the South the fires of patriotism
burn more brightly than elsewhere,
here in the south the unmixed, strain
of our forefathers is still predominate
in their children. Here in the south
the pioneer spirit of inquiry, ihe
spirit of search for new discovery
5s high. Here in the. South the
strone. free democracy that the
builders of the nation conceived is
still held high. And the New South,
with its new spirit of progress, moves
forward with ever-increasing rapidity
to the fulfillment or its promise.
Here in this old state, but a state
still strong in the pioneer spirit, this
spirit of the South finds its finest
illustration. The University, as the
president said Wednesday, has be
come the "beating, throbbing heart
of the state." In this state, illus
trative of the finest spirit of the
South, why should not a great insti
tution appear, illustrative also of that
spirit? To Dr. Chase, this ancient
place, with its background of tradi
tion and with personality, . with its
distinguished' career of greatness and
service, with its deep conception of
individual freedom and self-expression,
is finely fitted to be such an
institution. As he stated previously,
his hope for the university is that
she "be no less than this."
This is a big program and a fine
one. It is one of tremendous re
sponsibility, but it should appeal to
the imagination ( and enthusiasm of n
big man. It requires bigness to carry
it through.. The student body reposes
this confidence in the new president,
they stand behind him today willing
and eager to support him in his
program. The fine spirit of men on
this campus which has so repeatedly
and unmistakably shown itself on the
campus this year will be n reserve
force of strength and of courage to
the new leader. We believe in him
and have confidence in his power to
meet his task.
STUDENT FORUM
When the question of entering the
University first arises - in a girl's
mind her instinctive thought is, "Can
1 really go to the University the
college built and planned for boys?
In spite of what I hear for and
against my going, do the boys really
want me? If they do not, is it
really worth while for me to go, does
the benefit equal the sacrifice on
their part, and on mine ? " Then she
begins to try to answer these ques
tions to her own satisfaction.
She can go to the University.
Although at its founding, our alma
mater was intended for the young
men of North Carolina, there was
nothing said, written, or done to bar
the young women. I do not think
am wrong when I say that our
forefathers never dreamed of such a
possibility. In their day, girls and
women were entire devotees some
delightedly willing, some silently
unwilling to domestic duties and
cares, tsut with the development of
man's thought, with the advance of
woman to her natural place in life
not three feet, or even ten, behind
"her fiord . and master," but by his
Side with this forward movement,
there has been born in her heart a
desire to make herself a companion,
fit in soul, body, and mind, for her
husband and her friends, would you
keep her from such a peace? The
University offers to her such an
opportunity.
If you should ask me for my
honest opinion, I would tell you that
I do not think that Carolina boys
want Carolina girls at Carolina.
"Why?" you say. Judging from
student conversations, I should an
swer: "In general, let the girls go
to girls' colleges," they say, "I don't
disapprove of higher education for
women, but I don't want them here.
This is for boys. Girls are a dis
turbing element on the campus; this
isn't the place for them." Yet I
have never quite found out just why
it isn't their place. I'm sure it isn't
because the boys have to wear collars
,md ties,nor , yet because they can't
always prop their feet on the table.
Carolina boys are the finest in the
world; they are courteous even
more, they are charming to the
girls who come, but they don't in
their hearts, want us there.
But having considered these things,
the girl decides to go to her State
University. She makes the effort;
she goes; she finds the Hill with its
magic, and the Carolina spirit per
vades her, being, ' she becomes '- a
Carolina girl. There is something
that she gets there that she can't
find in a girls' college; it seems to
me to . be a perspective which she has
made entirely for herself. Women
like details, men like the outstanding
features: she chooses between; girls
have, in their schools, education more
or less thrust upon them, boys may
take it or leave it; she develops self-
reliance. There is also the pleasure
and joy that comes froni a healthy,
natural association with her friends
among the boys; for girls and boys
can be real friends. This friendship
means much for the girl and, perhaps,
for the boy. Only one college in
North Carolina gives a University
degree, and some girls want this.
Must they go away from North Caro
lina to get it? You ask me if it is
worth the sacrifice it is not sacri
fice, it is right and I answer,
"It is." From a Former Co-ed.

Prof. Koch Has Article
In April Theatre Arts
The Theatre Arts magazine carries
in the April number an article on
Folk Playmaking. This article was
written by Prof. F. H. Koch as an
introduction to the first volume of
Carolina Folk plays, and reviewed by
the editor of The Theatre Arts.
Prof. Koch begins by telling of the
conception and birth of the Folk
playmaking idea on the barren sod
of Dakota, where for many years it
has flourished, uniting" the people in
the strong bond of community work.
From thence the work was carried
to Carolina; by Professor Koch, and
firmly rooted in this rich soil of
tales, legends, and traditions. In
this receptive environment it quickly
blossomed, and in the first year of
its growth we have the production
of such a play as Peggy, from which
play the article takes an illustration.
Thus, says the editor, we have seen
what this Folk Playmaking idea
really means; and it only needs time
and leaders like Professor Koch to,
as he says, "enrich the lives of the
people of today." '
Plans are being considered for
the presentation of the Raleigh Mask
written by F. H. Koch as a part of
the commencement program. The
senior and junior classes have hear
tily endorsed the presentation of this
pageant. These two upper classes
are to take the lead in preparing and
presenting this, and the other parts
will be distributed among the other
two classes according to ability.
The department of music will have
charge of the music and dancing,
and will prepare and direct this jart
of the program. The entire cast
will require about two hundred char
acters. This work is a stupendous
undertaking and if put across as it
is hoped that it will be it will put
North Carolina on the map dramati
cally. If these plans are successful
more of this work will be announced
later.

Firs Issue Blue Ridge
Creates General Interest
After ' an unusually long delay in
the hands of the printers, The Blue
Ridge Magazine, written by the class
in English, '21, has appeared on the
campus. Under the direction of Dr.
Greenlaw this .class has been writing
articles for publication in a magazine
which is to be an expression not
only of state but of southern in
terests. ' The first issue contains
short stories, serious articles, verse,
sketches, etc., there being, however,
no epic poetry or Greek drama.
This magazine is not simply a col
lection of the miscellaneous stories,
love poems and iokes. which too
frequently constitute a colleo-e naner.
Lin thought, in make-up and in
opijcoiaiitc j i, ia a iiign graue,
modern magazine, which should prove
very readable. Two thousand copies
of the first issue have been ordered.
After the donators have been sup
plied thev will be Dut on sale at news
stands throughout the state.

Judgment
In the selection of your
Clothes need not neces
sarily be based on tech
nical knowledge of clothes
making.
When you come to a store like
this you've taken the first in
good judgment.
You place your reliance for good
quality and good style upon the
reputation of the store or the
makers of the clothes we handle.
CylhompsonSays--
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.
