TA
THE UNIVERSITY AND
"TRINITY SPLIT THE
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS
SPRUILL GETS 1920 SCHOLARSHIP
AND BOLICH, OF TRINITY,
GETS 1921
WERE FOURTEEN APPLICANTS
Corydon P. Spruill, of the class of
'20, of the University, and W. Bryan
Bolich, of the class of '17, of Trinity,
won the Rhodes Scholarships from the
State of North Carolina for 1920 and
1921 respectfively before the State
Committee of Selection, composed of
President Chase, chairman, President
Brewer, of Meredith College, and Pro
fessor Gooch, of William and Mary
College, and an ex-Rhodes Scholar,
Mr. Stuart, an attorney of Big Stone
Gap, Virginia, and also an Ex-Rhodes
Scholar was to have been a member
of the committee, but as he missed
his train Dr. Brewer was asked to
serve in his stead.
Two men were appointed from the
state at this time because of the loss
of scholars during the war. Spruill
will go into residence in January,
1921, and Bolich in October of 1921.
These scholarships were established
by the late Honorable Cecil Rhodes
in an' effort to bring into closer un
derstanding the peoples of the English-speaking
race. In addition to the
American scholarships, he has en
dowed others throughout the English
speaking world.
A scholarship is good for three
years' study at Oxford University,
England, and has a stipend attached
of about fifteen hundred dollars an
nually. Spruill has made an enviable all
round record since he has been at the
University; and was generally re
garded as one of the strongest, and
most, popular men of the class of
1920. He is a member of the Golden
Fleece, the senior honor organization;
Sigma Upsilon; Phi Beta Kappa, and
Pi Kappa Phi. In his sophomore
year he was president of his class,
and also won his N. C. in the gym.
During his senior year he was man
ager of varsity basketball, president
of the Campus Cabinet, and president
of the Pan-Hellenic Council.
Six of the fourteen men that ap
peared before the State Committee
were from the University, four were
from Trinity, two from Wake Forest
and one each from Davidson College
and from Atlantic Christian College.
Then men representing the Univer
sity were Spruill, Anderson, Ashby,
Grant, Everett and Shepard. These
men were selected from a field of
thirteen applicants who applied for
admission to represent the University
before the State Committee. The
University's representatives were se
lected by a committee composed of
Dean Howe, Dean Greenlaw, and Dr.
Henderson.
DR. HAMILTON COMES AS .
ASSISTANT MUSICAL DIRECTOR
HAS TAUGHT AT ASSIUT COL
LEGE, EGYPT, AND AT
TEXAS
Mr. Thomas H. Hamilton comes
to the University this fall as Assist
ant Director of Music: Mr. Hamil
ton will offer private instruction in
voice and piano to all students who
may desire it. As is usual in such
work in universities, the fees for
this work are less than those charged
by private teaihers of equal stand
ing, the University bearing part of
the expense. Mr. Hamilton will
also be in charge of the Glee Club
and orchestra this year.
Mr. Hamilton has! his B. A. and
M. A. from Monmouth College; he
has' taught in Assiut Qollege, Egypt,
and in Texas State University; he
comes to the University of North
Carolina direct from his foreign war
service. He has studied music with
several of the best teachers in Chi
cago and New York.
It is probable that instruction in
violin will also be offered this term.
Application for this work should be
made to Mr. Weaver, who says that
an instructor will be provided if the
demand warrants it.
OVER THIRTEEN HUNDRED
REGISTERED MONDAY NOON
Registration figures, up to,
noon Monday, as officially an
nounced by Dr. T. J. Wilson,
Registrar, show a total of 1,316
matriculates thus far for this
term, and adding to this the
1,797 students who pursued
work in the Summer School for
"college credit the grand, though
incomplete, total stands at
1,797 for the 1920-21 session.
These returns are, however,
incomplete, inasmuch as men
are still being registered, and
indications are that the final
total will go well over 1,350 for
students attending this term.
The freshhman class with
over 400 men already regis
tered promises to be a record
breaker, and is to have, appar
ently, a vast number over any
other class in college.
The great number of new
men entering the University
this year has created a great
shortage as to housing accomo
dations, and has forced the
assigning of from three to four
men to each room. Every
attempt is being made to meet
the situation and as yet no one
has been turned away.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
CONDUCTS EXTENSIVE
SUMMER FIELD WORK
DR. JOSEPH HYDE PRATT TO RE
TURN TO CHAPEL HILL
AT ONCE
Dt. Joseph Hyde Pratt, director
of the North Carolina Geological and
Economic Survey, and professor of
economic geology in the University,
plans to return to Chapel Hill in the
next few days from Washington, D.
C, where he has been on special duty
with the general staff.
The Geological Survey has had a
very active field season during the
past summer. Several Carolina stu
dents have been on duty with the
survey during this period. Mr. Jas
per L. Stuckey who received his
Master of Science degree in geology
last commencement has been inves
tigating the structural materials for
the survey. Mr. Stuckey has inves
tigated deposits of gravel, sand,
clay and stone, including granite,
limestone, sandstone, rhyolite, trap,
etc. Thus far he has visited all
known deposits of such materials in
the eastern part of the state, and is
at present working in the neighbor
hood of Salisbury and Greensboro.
After visiting several other localities
in the western part of the state he
will return to Chapel Hill and pre
pare a report on his investigations
as well as take up some work in the
University.
Professor Thorndyke Saville of the
Engineering Department of the Uni
versity has been in charge of the
water resources division of the Geo
logical Survey during the summer.
He has been assisted by Messrs.
S. C. Austin of Richfield, and E. S.
Teague of Taylorsville, who were
both students at the University last
year. This field party has made
water-power surveys at Pinetops and
Angier, and on the Aarat and
Fishers Rivers in Surrey County,
the Reddie River in Wilkes County,
and on certain sections of the
French Broad River near Ashe
ville. Professor T. F. Hickerson of the
Highway Department has been in
charge of a field party making a
plane-table survey of certain sections
in Cherokee and Ashe counties, i
Three University students, R. E.
Boyd, L. J. Phillips and L. W. j
Fischel. assisted Professor Hicker
son. They prepared a map to be
included ni the bulletin on Iron Ores
which the Geological Survey is soon
to publish.
The Geological Survey during the
summer months sends out field
parties as it has this year. Students
in the Geological and Engineering
departments of the University are
offered a chance to get some valu
able experience in the field by sign
ing up with one of these field
parties.
UNIVERSITY RECIPIENT
OF VALUABLE LIBRARY
OF KEMP P. BATTLE
COLLECTION INCLUDES VALU
ABLE DOCUMENTS, ENGRAV
INGS AND SCRAPBOOKS
The University Library was the
recipient in August of some thir
teen hundred books: pamphlets;
periodicals, bound and unbound;
newspapers; engravings; , and a
number of scrap-books and news
paper clippings from the library of
the late Kemp Plummer Battle, '49,
the tifles being donated to the
Library by the Battle family.
Ihrough the receipt of this gift
which, if a money value could be
placed upon it would (amount to
several thousand dollars. The Li
brary has been strengthened in four
different fields.
First of all the collection is par
ticularly rich in publications relating
to the University itself. It includes
early volumes of the Magazine, the
most complete file in existence of
University Catalogues, some com
mencement programmes, copies of
addresses delivered on University
occasions and numerous single pub
lications which Dr. Battle utilized in
the preparation of his two-volume
History of the University. The
second distinctive field covered is
that of North Carolina history.
Among the more important publica
tions in this division are the docu
ments of the convention of 1861.
laws of North Carolina from 1800
to 1815, bound volumes of North
Carolina newspapers issued from
1860 to 1865, reports of the various
railroads of the state, early reports
of the Board of National Improve
ments, journals of the various con
stitutional conventions of . . North
Carolina and numerous pamphlets
covering incidents in North Carolina
history.
The third division relates particu
larly to the Confederacy and pub
lications centering around it. The
most important and rarest of these
are two volumes of documents! of
the Confederate States laws of the
Confederate States, military orders
of the day, Confederate imprints,
and miscellaneous newspapers issued
in the South during the period of
the war.
The fourth division comprises
publications concerning the Episco
pal Church in North Carolina and
of the Episcopal Church in America
during the three decades preceding,
from 1817 to 1869 together with,
embracing and following the Civil
War. It includes a complete bound
file of the Journal of the North Caro
lina Diocese. In addition there are a
number of Ives of Episcopal bishops,
collections of sermons and other

VARSITY BACKFIELD MAN
TO COACH FRESHMAN SQUAD
GOOD MATERIAL AMONG FIRST
YEAR ASPIRANTS FOR
BERTHS
Announcement comes from Dr.
Robert B. Lawson, Physical Director,
that the Compulsory Freshman Ath
letic rule will be strictly enforced
this year, and already the freshman
gymnasium classes have begun work.
The class is divided in two sections,
composed of a hundred and seventy
four man each, the first section
holding its first class Monday, the
second section convening for the first
time Tuesday. The classes will meet
three times a week and will be an
hour long each day.
Prospects appear to be unusually
good for a strong freshman football
team this year, and men will be se
lected from both gymnasium classes
to go out for this team. Dr. Lawson
announced that men lacking the mus
cular build, weight, and experience
would not be allowed to go out, but
would be required instead to take the
gymnasium work. About seventy-five
candidates are expected to report for
the early workouts, which will take
place this week, and this large squad
will be cut down to about thirty-five
men. "Mel" Parker, an old Carolina
football star in the backfield, will

SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
ENROLLS THIRTY PER
CENT OF THE FRESHMEN
SCHOOL INSTITUTED AT THE
UNIVERSITY ONLY LAST
YEAR
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD SOON
That business is as much a pro
fession to be trained for as law,
medicine, or engineering is demon
strated by the increasing popularity
of the School of Commerce which,
according to figures recently given
out by Dean D. D. Carroll, has
registered one hundred and forty
men among the upper classmen, and
about thirty per cent of the fresh
man class that has just entered.
Considering that the School of
Commerce is a very recent addition
to the University, having been
organized only last year and is just
now entering upon its second year of
growth, the results thus far are
extremely encouraging. Due to its
comparative infancy the department
has not been as completely organized
as the other departments in the Uni
versity, and plans are now being
made in an extensive way for its
future. At an early date an adminis
trative board is to be appointed.
The special lectures by prominent
men in this and other state, which
were a feature last year, will be con
tinued this year and attempts will
be made to bring even a larger
number of lecturers than formerly
to address the students of this
school.
THEATRE MAGAZINE HAS
ARTICLE ON PLAYMAKERS
THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY
HETTLEMAN OF THE
JUNIOR CLASS
The Theatre Magazine for October
carries an interesting article on
"The Carolina Playmakers," by
Phillip Hettleman of the junior class,
and manager of the Tar Heel.
The article shows the growth of
the Playmakers under the direction
of Professor Frederick H. Koch both
at North Dakota and at Carolina.
Extracts from the plays produced
last spring the local playhouse
and again before the summer school
students, "The Return of Buck
Gavin," and "Peggy" are given in
the article in which the simple yet
real subject of the plays are brought
out, and the simplicity of production
is emphasized.
Illustrations taken from "Peggy"
and "When Witches Ride" were also
produced along with the article.

Saturday Carolina vs. Wake For
est on Emerson Field.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr. Lawson, physical director, an
nounces that he wishes the University
rule regarding eligibility for the
team, be distinctly understood by the
freshmen. This rule is that all can
didates must first undergo the usual
physical examination, and must then
have permission from the physical di
rector to go out for the team. This
goes not only for football but for all
the athletic teams, and Dr. Lawson
states that this year the freshman
squads would be specially and well
picked, and that the gymnasium
classes would play an important part
in freshman athletics.
Dean Bradshaw, of students, an
nounces office hours: 10:45 to 11:40
a.m., and from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. He
will also hold conferences with stu
dents at his home on Sunday and
Tuesday nights.

Our Probable Line-up j
Carolina will open its 1920 foot
ball schedule here Saturday of this
week, when the Wake Forest eleven
will journey over to battle the Blue
and White on local territory in the
annual opening contest. A large at
tendance is expected for the open
ing game, and it is said that a large
number of Wake Forest supporters
will be over to see their eleven for
the first time in action. Wake For
est played her first game Saturday,
and though somewhat overwhelmed
by a score of 44-0 by the strong
Georgia Tech team, they promise a
strong fight for Carolina here Sat
urday. Coaches Fuller and Hite are hard
at work whipping the Carolina ma
chine in shape for the opening game,
and some stiff scrimmages are antici
pated this week. Practically all. the
squad witnessed the Davidson-State
College game in Raleigh Saturday,
and the coaches have been showing
the squad the usual weaknesses of
early season football, and pointing
out how to overcome these defects.
Head Coach Fuller has not yet an
nounced the team that will take the
field Saturday against Wake Forest,
and there are several doubtful posi
tions. It is believed, however, that the
team will be picked from the following
men. Jacobi, center; Pritchard, Mor
ris, Owens, guards; Hanby, Harrel,
tackles; Cochrane, Hutchinson, Cray
ton, ends; Pharr, Lowe, quarters; .
Tenney, Griffith, halfbacks; and
Spaugh, fullback.
The contest with Wake Forest last
year ended with Carolina taking the
big end of a 6-0 score, and just as
they put up a strong opposition last
year, it is believed that Wake Forest
will repeat Saturday. Wake Forest,
like Carolina, does not possess such
a heavy team this year, but reports
are that the team is unusually fast,
and in Rabenhorst, the Baptists have
one star that is exceptionally strong.
DEPARTMENT OF HOME
COMFORTS NOW AT HILL
DEPARTMENT OF STATE HIGH
WAY COMMISSION GROWS
RAPIDLY UNDER PRO
FESSOR DAGGETT
Pioneer work in the extension of
engineering service to farms and
country communities is being car
ried on by the University Bureau of
Extension working through the
State Highway Commission. North
Carolina is the first state in the
Union to provide a special fund by
legislative grant for such a purpose
and to aid in its promotion the
University has organized a new
division of its extension work
which is called the division of
Country Home Comforts and
Conveniences. The staff is made up
of members of the University's engi
neering departments. Since last
November when the division was
organized, assistance has been given
directly to about one hundred and
fifty persons in rtfral communities
scattered over sixty-six counties.
Electric lights and power are chief
among the conveniences that it is
hoped to bring to rural communities
all throughout the state. North
Carolina has many small water
power sites, many streams scattered
through the state having enough
fall to develop from one horsepower
to ten horsepower of hydro-electricity.
A model installation of this
kind is to be made at the Univer
sity where water wheels, generators
and auxiliary apparatus will be
shown and explained. Farm light
ing sets have been carefully
