REPRESENTATIVES OF ALUMNI
DISCUSS CONDITIONS RELAT
ING TO DEVELOPMENT
TAYLOR SPEAKS FOR STUDENTS
A meeting of University Alumni,
brought about by the Faculty Com
mittee on the University's growth
and development composed of Drs.
H. W. Chase and L. R. Wilson,
Professors Branson, Bernard and
Graham, and Messrs; Bradshaw, E.
R. Rankin and Lenoir Chambers, was
held Saturday night last in Chapel
Hill.
This meeting, which was called on
about four days notice, was the
largest alumni meeting the Univer
sity has ever had in such short
notice. The men who attended the
meeting made up the most serious
minded and loyal hearted group of
men who have ever come together
for the purpose of discussing the
University's growth and develop
ment. Dr. Bernard presided over
the meeting and acted as chairman,
while Mr. Lenoir Chambers acted as
secretary. The opening talk was
made by Dr. Chase who expressed
the faculty viewpoint concerning the
housing situation as it affected the
students and faculty alike. Mr.
Tyre C. Taylor followed Dr. Chase
with a short talk on the student
viewpoint concerning the congested
living conditions prevailing on the
campus. He was followed by Pro
fessor Frank Graham who empha
sized the crying need of the Uni
versity to better her living condi
tions and the still greater need of
insuring -the further expansion-of
the University. The meeting was
then thrown open for open discus-1
sion by the alumni. Many pro
posals were brought forward as to
the means of remedying the situa
tion. Finally action consisted
chiefly in passing a series of . reso
lutions: 1. Many alumni meetings will be
planned for October the 12th; Uni
versity day, at which the troubled
situation at the University will be
discussed and a discussion as to the
best possible means of remedying
the situation will take place.
2. Local alumni associations will
call meetings at later dates at
which the alumni of other state
institutions will be invited for the
purpose of discussing the situation;
namely, the acute housing situation

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
NOW PUBLISHING ARTICLES
DR. HENDERSON AND PROF. SA
VILLE HAVE ARTICLES IN
NATIONAL JOURNAL
Among the members of the Uni
versity faculty having articles in
recent numbers of the national
periodicals are Dr. Archibald Hen
derson and Mr. Thorndyke Saville.
Dr. Henderson, head of the Mathe
matics Department, has in the Sep
tember issue of Century, an article
entitled "Daniel Boone and the
American Pioneer." It will be re
membered in this connection that
Dr. Henderson has contributed to
North Carolina history a book on
the life of Daniel Boone.
Mr. Saville, associate professor of
hydraulic and sanitary engineering
has an article in the Engineering
News-Record for August 26th enti
tled "French Government to Regu
late River Rhone." The project will
develop water power, improve navi
gation and provide water for irrega
tion, at an expenditure of about
three hundred million dollars. This
article was the result of investiga
tions carried on by Mr. Saville when
he was in France on professional
business.
Miss Mary Moses, who was secre
tary to President Chase last year
and who has been away the entire
summer, has returned to take up
her duties as secretary to Dr. H.
W. . Odum of the School of . Public
Welfare.
ONE BIG UPSET IN SOUTH
EASTERN FOOTBALL
With all the larger colleges
playing for the most part
weak opponents the 1920 foot- -ball
season formerly opened
last Saturday. With the ex
ception of the N. C State
Navy game there were no
startling upsets, the same
teams failed to show expected
strength.
Interest in the state cen
tered chiefly upon the U. N.
C.-Wake Forest, and State
Navy contests, much surprise
being evidenced at defeat of
the Middies by the Aggies,
while the Blue and White were
being held to a single touch
down by Wake Forest. But it
is to be remembered that it
was the University's first
game, and that the early
season dope is so often upset;
Yale defeated Carnegie Tech
44 to 0. The University of
South Carolina seems to have
taken a new lease on life and
defeated Wofford 10 to 0.
Maryland State also showed
formidable qualities by hold
ing Rutgers to one touch
down, while Virginia, jumping
into midseason form, swamped
Randolph-Macon 65 to 0. V.
M. I. also, with Leach running
wild in the backfield over
whelmed Hampton-Sydney 136
to 0.
All indications show a hard
schedule ahead for Carolina,
but with the seasoning of
another week, and the Yale
game, we ishall undoubtedly
see a squad amply able to
equal and better the record of
last year.
PHI SOCIETY HOLDS
FIRST REAL MEETING
SPEAKER GRANT IN INAUGURAL
ADDRESS URGES CO-OPERATION
OF EVERY MEMBER
The Philanthropic Society held its
first regular meeting of the colle
giate year on Saturday night, Octo
ber the second. At this first meet
ing the newly-elected Speaker of the
House, D. L. Grant, delivered his
inaugural address.
Stressing the importance of the
fall term and what responsibilities
and opportunities it held in store
for the society, he urged the society
members to do their very best and
make this fall term and this year
the best year by far in the history
of the Philanthropic Society. He
emphasized the need of a require
ment which every member must
measure up to. He also emphasized
the need of more rigid enforcement
of the by-laws and rules of the
assembly. "We ' have obligations
which we must respect. The ad
ministration of any organization lies
in the enforcement of its laws," he
said. "We have a great problem
before us," he said, "and that is our
financial problem. With the excep
tion of last year the end of every
collegiate year found the society in
the hole. We must put the society
on a more substantial financial foot
ing. The Magazine was established
when all students of the University
were required to join one of the two
societies. We have helped finance
The Magazine for its entire life
time. The Dialectic Society has
done the same. The combined
enrollment of the two societies is
not equal to half the number of
students enrolled in the University.
Therefore we are assuming a great
responsibility, whereas, the students
not belonging to either societies
entail no responsibility at all. The
Magazine has come to be a student
publication, not a society publication.
Let every student be equally respon
sible for its publication. We recom
mend that the societies and The
Magazine each stand on their own
footing. Our financial situation, as
the treasurer will soon state in his
report, is acute. We must entail no
more extra expense," he said. The
newly-elected president said the
society was contemplating an exten
sive debating program for the com
ing year. He stressed the need of

COLLIER COBB MAKES
ADDRESS IN SEATTLE
DR. COBB POINTS OUT THE RE
LATIONSHIP BETWEEN N. C.
AND WASHINGTON
At an . address given by Dr. Col
lier Cobb before an linf ormal gather
ing of business mep at the Ranier
Club of Seattle, Washington, Djr.
Cobb pointed out thte historical rela
tionship between North Carolina and
the state of Washington. He said
that King County ,'of the state of
Washington was named in honor of
William Rufus.King, who was elected
vice-president of the United States
on the same ticket with President
Franklin Pierce, and who was a
native of North Carolina and a
graduate of the University of North
Carolina. Another ! historical point
of contact between North Carolina
was the fact that Capt. Charles
Wilkes, on returning from the expe
dition in which he discovered the
Antarctic continent, sailed into
Puget Sound in 1841 and named
many of the islands, points and bays
in this section. Admiral Wilkes
spent many years in North Carolina,
said Dr. Cobb.
"It will be recalled that Captain
Wilkes took from the British mail
steamer Trent the Confederate com
missioners, Mason and Sidell, and by
that act came very near involving
the United States and England in
war," recounted Doctor Cobb. The
British had named many points in
Puget Sound. Captain Wilkes on
arriving here in 1841, changed many
of these names to those of officers
on his ships, and among these offi
cers so honored were many North
Carolinians and University alumni."
- Doctor Cobb aho 1 related that
Captain John Blakeley, commander
of the Wasp in the war of 1812,
had at least two points in Puget
Sound named for him. Blakely was
also an alumnus of the University
of North Carolina.
The main part of Dr. Cobb's
address was a report on the coastal
regions of Alaska and the North
Pacific Coast conditions. Dr. Cobb
has made an extensive study of
shore line processes in relation to
harbor and has made an extensive
survey of the Alaskan coast as far
north as the Seward Peninsula in
the last few months. He thinks
that the possibilities of Alaska are
unlimited with its fishing, agricul
tural, mineral and timber resources.
In his opinion, Alaska's greatest
need is more settlers.
Dr. Cobb has made this study of
the Pacific and Alaskan coasts as a
Kenan research professor, founded
by the late Mrs. Henry M. Flagler
of North Carolina. After investi
gating Oregon shore lines, Doctor
Cobb will leave for a two months'
trip to the orient and will return to
North Carolina via Seattle.

government who are interested in
the study of international relations
and problems. Monthly meetings
are held at which members make
reports on ' topics under considera
tion and study. Dr. W. W. Pierson,

GRADUATE STUDENTS
FORM ORGANIZATION
DRS. CHASE, GREENLAW, AND
VENABLE SPEAK TO STU
DENTS AT FORMATION
Last Friday evening the graduate
students of the University met in
Phillips Hall to organize a Graduate
Club and to submit plans for the
future activity on the part of the
graduate school. Officers for this
year were elected, there being E. S
! Lindsey, president, John Aycock,
treasurer, and Mrs. Latshaw, secre
tary. The meeting was presided
over by Dr. Greenlaw, .chairman of
the graduate school, who made a
short talk in the purpose of the
graduate school, and introduced Dr.
CY.ne who responded with a timely
speech. Dr. Venable, the last of
the faculty speakers, gave the his
tory of the Graduate School and
piesent work at the University.
It was decided to make the Grad
uate Club a definite and permanent
organization, a committee being
appointed to draft a constitution.
Dr. Greenlaw was made chairman of
this committee, and is to be assisted
by two members of the Graduate
School. .
The Graduate School has a mem
bership this year of 50 students,
representing the largest number of
students who have ever registered
in this department of the Univer
sity. PROF. KOCH SEES NUMBER
NEW PLAYS IN NEW YORK
Prof. F. H. Koch lectured at the
University of Chicago on the folk
drama after the closing of the
summer school at this University.
After completing his lectures Pro
fessor Koch then went to New York
city where he attended a large
number of plays during the time he
stayed there. In this manner Pro
fessor Koch keeps in touch with
the commercial drama, thus enabling
him to give his students the bene
fit of an understanding criticism of
present day dramatic tendencies.
Professor Koch says the large
crowds which a play like Eugene G.
O'Neil's "Beyond the Horizon," con
tinued to draw despite the hot sum
mer weather is a sign of the com
ing of better things in the commer
cial drama.
BUILDING COMMITTEE
TO MEET OCTOBER 7TH
The Trustees' Building Committee
will meet in Chapel Hill on the 7th
day of October. The Trustees' Exe
cutor's Committee will meet here on
the 8th day of this month. Both
meetings are to consider the pro
gram which the University should
present to the State Budget Com
mittee this fall.
Work on the new building has
been somewhat delayed on account
of the scarcity of labor, but it is
hoped that the construction of the
building will be gotten under way
in a week or two. The contractors
have found that it is a very hard
matter to induce carpenters and
masons to come to Chapel Hill and
aid in the construction of the
building. Thus the delay.
DR. WHEELER RETURNS TO
UNIVERSITY FROM WEST
Dr. A. S. Wheeler of the Depart
ment of Chemistry has recently
returned from a visit to his parents
at Tacoma, Washington. While
away from Chapel Hill, he also
attended a meeting of the American
Chemical Society at Chicago, and
presented! '! at the meeting two
papers which were the result of
research work done here. Dr.
Wheeler also visited Quincy, Detroit,
Buffalo, and Syracuse, and the
Chemical Exposition at New York
City.
SATURDAY'S GAME MAKES THIRD
SUCCESSIVE VICTORY BY
THE SAME SCORE
WAKE FOREST GIVES HARD FIGHT
Carolina Held for Downs Inside Wake
Forest's Five-Yard Line in
Third Quarter
Approximately two thousand peo
ple witnessed the opening football
game of the season on Emerson
field Saturday when Carolina de
feated Wake Forest by the score of
6 to 0. A special train conveyed
about three hundred Wake Forest
students to the Hill, and a large
number of alumnae and visitors
from Durham and Raleigh and
nearby towns were present to see
the opening game. The weather was
perfect, not too cold and not too
warm for either spectator or player,
an incident portraying a striking
contrast to -the weather last year
when Carolina defeated the Baptists
by the same score on a field of mud
and slush and in a heavy downpour
of rain.
The margin of victory was small.
It was generally expected about the
campus that Captain Harrell's eleven
would get away with a larger score,
and some expressed disappointment
over their failure to do so. But the
fact that the Blue and White out
played the visitors in nearly every
phase of the game cannot be
disputed, and the score tells only
half the tale. A hundred and five
yards lost in penalties checked
Carolina to a great extent in piling
up points, and the visitors playing
a defensive game, did out punt the
Blue and White, another handicap to
our offense. On the other hand
Carolina showed weakness in work
ing forward passes, making one suc
cessful out of a number of attempts,
and Wake Forest held magnificently
at crucial times. .
The lone score of the game came
in the fourth quarter when "Runt"
Lowe, star in the Virginia game last
year, carried the ball over for a
touchdown, after the Blue and White
had made a steady march up the
field, gaining almost at will, mostly
by off tackle plays by Pharr. An
attempt to kick goal by Pharr failed,
and the score remained 6 to 0 to
the end of the contest. The nearest

DIALECTIC SOCIETY
HOLDS INITIATIONS
FORTY-EIGHT NEW MEN JOIN SO
CIETY; S. H. HODGES MAKES
SHORT TALK
At the meeting of the Dialectic
Literary Society last Saturday night
48 new men were initiated. After
the initiations the meeting took the
form of a smoker. Speeches were
made by old men and neophites and
the whole evening was given over to
enjoyment.
E. Hoke Martin and "Tubby"
Murdock enlightened the new men
on matters concerning the grave
yard keeper and his duties. A dis
course on the Booloo Club was given
by K. O. Smith, a gentleman who,
it was pointed out, was well quali
fied to present the subject. "Pike"
Trotter rendered a selection of
poetry dealing with matters con
cerning the graveyard.
During the evening the society
had the Ipleasure of hearing from
Mr. S. H. Hodges, a former presi
dent of the society, in a short and
effective speech. There were num
erous other brief talks and these
together with the other two features,
initiations and refreshments, made it
a very pleasant evening for every
one present.
It is interesting to note that the
48 men who joined the society did
so without any campaign for secur
ing members. The membership of
the society was also enlarged by the
addition of several old members who
are returning to college.
