DR. HANFORD DISCUSSES RE
SEARCH WORK DONE ON MIL
TON MANUSCRIPTS
BULLETIN WILL BE PUBLISHED
The chief feature of the first meet
ing of the newly-organized Graduate
Club of the University of North Caro
lina was a talk by Dr. James H. Han
ford on "Research Methods Applied to
Milton Manuscripts." Dr. Hanford,
in introducing his subject said that
perhaps some more suitable title could
have been found as "Innocent Adven
tures in Milton's Handwriting"; "One
Way to Forget that the Country is
Dry"; or, better still, "New Facts Dis
tilled From Old Documents".
While spending a vacation at Har
vard several years ago, Dr. Hanford
became interested in a fac similie
notebook, kept by Milton. This con
tained notes of Milton's reading, from
his early days at Horton, throughout
his later life. Hoping to throw new
light on some of the Miltonian mys
teries, Dr. Hanford undertook a long
and critical study of this "Common
Place Book," and all other specimens
of Milton's handwriting that he could
find.
Certain changes in the handwriting
enabled him to arrange the notes in
chronological order. When this had
been done it was found that Milton
had followed a systematic course of
reading that took him through late
Greek History, Roman History, The
Church Fathers, The Italian Poets,
English History, and French and Con
tinental History. Aother important
conclusions were reached but they
were too complex to go until a later
time.
. The refreshment committee then
served smokes and candies. The new
. constitution was read and adopted.
This provided that all members of the
faculty and of the graduate school
are eligible to membership in the
Graduate Club. They are cordially
invited and urged to join. It is hoped
to enroll every resident graduate stu
dent in this, their own, club.
A bulletin, descriptive of the Gradu
ate Club and its activities, and carry
ing abstracts of the speeches made at
its meetings will be published annually.

Although Captain "Bill" Hester, of

and his ten formidable teammates,
made it decidedly interesting for the
scrub first year reserve team, pre
sented as the freshman class team,
the latter eleven emerged victorious
in the contest Monday aftrnoon, hold
ing the larger end of a 7-0 score.
The touchdown and goal from place
ment that netted the first-year men
the victory came in the first quarter,
when Graves caught a long forward
pass on the junior's five-yard line, and
raced across the goal line for six of
the points. The freshmen kicked goal.

After a critical illness of two weeks
at the University Infirmary during
which he has several times been at
the point of death, Augustus S. Merri
mon Kenney, of Salisbury, a student
at the University last year and a son
of the late John B. Kenney and of Mrs.
Margaret Merrimon Kenney, died
Tuesday morning shortly after noon.
Pneumonia, which followed a compli
cation of diseases, was the immedi
ate cause of his death. He was un
conscious for the last few hours and
died quietly in his mother's arms.
The body was taken from the In
firmary Tuesday to the Kappa Sigma
Fraternity Hall, of which he was a
member, and Wednesday morning it
was taken to Raleigh for burial. The
funeral services were held at Christ
Church at 4 o'clock. All the mem
bers of his fraternity were present in
a body as well as other representa
tives of the University and his college
friends acted as pallbearers.
Young Kenney, who was in the em
ploy of Liggett and Myers Compay,
came to Chapel Hill on a business
trip three weeks ago. He was strick
en, with influenza, which later devel
oped into an inflammation of the brain
and was diagnosed as a form of sleep
ing sickness. Several physicians were
in attendance on the patient who was
seriously ill from the first. At one
stage of the illness he became so
weak that blood transfusion was tried,
several University students offering
their blood for him.
He rallied temporarily but was still
in a weakened condition when pneu
monia set in. His mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Kenney, was in constant attend
ance during his last illness as were
also his cousin, Mrs. Edwin C. Greg
ory, and his aunt, Mrs. Lee S. Over
man, both of Salisbury, and his uncle,
Mr. William Merrimon, of Greensboro.
Another cousin, Lee Overma Greg
ory, is a student in the University.
Merrimon Kenney was born in Ral
eigh in 1898 and would have been 22
years old in December. He was a
gttadson of ,the late Chief Justice
Merrimon. He lived most of his early
life in Raleigh and Salisbury and at
tended Horner School in Charlotte.
He was at the University two years,
one as a student in the S. A. T. C,
where he was a member of the Ma
rine Training Unit.

VOCAL PROGRAM IN CHAPEL
Orange county put the nation at
large to shame at the polls Tuesday
when it totaled up a Democratic ma
jority of over 200! Only two Repub
licans obtained office through this
election and one of them was Constable
Ivey, of Carrboro, who had no oppon
ents. ' No Socialists, Farmer-Labor-ites,
Prohibitionists, or other nuis
ances were elected.
Several unique sights were wit
nessed at the' polls as the fair sex
voted for the first time. Certain pro-
xessors' wives, it is asserted voted, for
Cox while their worser halves cast
their ballots for the Republican nom
inee. A couple of students voting
for the first time in their young lives
are said to have been obliged to seek
assistance in solving the mysteries
of the Australian ballot. Three dusky
females are known to have voted the
straight Republican ticket while their
husbands wisely stayed at home and
didn't vote at all.
Taken as a whole, no disturbances,
wholesale challengings, or hard feel
ing marked the local event. The equi
noxal showers of Tuesday failed to
dampen the ardor of the voters and
yoterettes. Harding will go to the
White House in Hiarch, Cox won't,
and Eugene V. Debs will spend the
spring at his Atlanta home.

NESDAY MORNING
Following out the Y. M. C. A.'s
program of having music at Chapel
exercises once a week, Wednesday
morning, Nov. 3d, Mrs. G. A. Harrer,
of . the Chapel Hill community, and
wife of Professor Harrer, rendered a
most enjoyable vocal program. Mrs.
Harrer sang: "Chanson Flbrens,"
Stultz's "Sweetest Story Ever Told,"
Kipling's poem "Mother O'Mine" and
Kipling's "Tours."
She was most enthusiastically re
ceived by members of the freshman
class and by upper-classmen who
crowded the windows and , the back
part of the Chapel.
DEVEREAUX PLAYERS WILL
PRESENT SERIES OF PLAYS
PLAYERS TO APPEAR IN CHAPEL
. HILL ON NOVEMBER
19TH AND 20TH
Lip sticks, mobile eyes and winning
ways have supplanted the fountain
pen, midnight oil lamp and text books
and California girls, noted for their
beauty, are winning their class marks
at the University, of California with
these substitutes.
Thus charges the Daily California
the student paper at the big school.
The paper declares that certain of our
unbearded instructors are still sus
ceptible to feminine charms," and
adds that the co-eds, the sorority
sisters, are aware of this fact. And
because of their famed beauty the
California girls are easily winning
their degrees. The student paper has
opened a vigorous campaigne against
the "vamping" of the professors.
The Clifford Devereux players have
I hssen "billed by Professor Koch to pro
j duce a series of plays here. Three
j performances, two evenings and one
j matinee, November 19th and 20th,
j 1920, is what the contract calls for.
j The following plays will be produced:
Her Husband's Wife, by A. E. Thom
! as, the first night; Kitchen scene from
"Twelfth Night"; Screen Scene from
I Sheridan's "School for Scandal" and
i "The Boar," by Tchekoff, matinee;
j and "Ghosts", by Ibsen, the last night.
Mr. Devereux has been producing
j drama for the past seven years, a '
I few of his productions being "Twelfth
Night," "Comedy of Errors," "Romeo
i and Juliet," by Shakespeare; "The
I School for Scandal" and "The Critic",
i by Sheridan ; "Arms and the Man,"
j by Bernard Shaw; and "The Tents of
j of the Arabs," by Lord Dansany. Mr.
I Devereux has succeeded admirably in
j bringing the older plays to the pres
i ent-day audience in a manner that
is intelligible and interesting to all
classes of people.
In these performances Mr. Dever
eux is ably supported by a representa
tial company including Miss Zinita
Graf. Miss Gra has played many
parts and is one of the most inter
esting and conspicuous figures upon
the American stage. The company

The Department of Electrical En
gineering came to the rescue Tuesday
night and gave us the returns from
the election. From the expressions
and smothered ejaculations of most of
the earnest -number who stuck it out
until the morning hours mouring
hours to a chosen few it can be said
that the joy market showed consid
erable evidence of the "bears." After
a few of the non-indicative returns
had come in, there was what may be
called democratic species; but by 9
o'clock it was not talking above a
whisper, and by ten, it had developed
a doleful wheeze.
During a lull in the opining and
concessions, some hopeful democrat
leaned over and said in an awful whis
per: "I concede Rhode Island to Hard
ing." Another brother explained the
mystifying returs from the 30 report
ed precincts of Virginia, giving a re
publican majority by remarking that
the Old Dominion state had evidently
become lax in their immigration laws.
Then there was a time "When the si
lence 'ung so 'eavy you was 'alf afraid
to speak" and a son-of-democracy, be
ing so potimistic that he would have
answered the "Are we downhearted"
lead with no ambiguous vociferation,
told how the candidate in his county
had given an organ to every church
in the county, thereby organizing"
the place. . . . There were those
who wished there had been more "or
ganization." At midnight Missouri stood, by the
report, democratic by 101, being 101
reasons why Cox should be elected,
but in no wise explained satisfactorily
just why there were only 187 demo
crats to cast ballots in the city of
St. Louis. One brother political af
filiation unknown remarked that he
thought there ought to be more
preachers in town than that. This
same apostle, when the million major
ity was estimated, introduced a move
ment to send missionaries to New
York state. . . . Another was
greatly alarmed at the republican
gains in South Carolina, when the re
ports came in that there had been 121
republican votes cast in that state.
He recalled the time when a repub
lican had' run for sheriff in one of the

. State Forester J. S. Holmes and
assistant Forester D. W. Clark, of
the North Carolina Geological and
Economic Survey, have been in the
Western part of the state this week
holding meetings at Asheville and
Linville with lumbermen and land
owners to work out plans for co-operative
forest fire protection work be
tween the Geological Survey and the
landowners. Mrs. Clark, who has re
cently been added to the staff of the
Forestry Department of the Geolog
ical Survey will give practically all
of his time to fire protective work
with the hope that the enormous loss
from forest fires, which has been well
over a million dollars annually for
the past few years, may be greatly re
duced.
Before his return to Chapel Hill,
State Forester Holmes will stop over
at China Grove, where he will give
an illustrated lecture on Forestry,
Nov. 5th, at the high school of this
place. This lecture, coming at the
close of the Arbor Day exercises of
this school, will add emphasis to the
demonstrations in tree planting and
care given that day.
Head Coach Fuller has been put
ting the Carolina football squad
through a strenuous special training
to meet the heavy attack that the
Virginia Military Institute eleven will
make here Saturday. The game has
been looked forward to all season as
probably Carolina's hardest contest,
and the very stiffest of practices have
been held this week.
V. M. I. comes here with a much
better record than Carolina can shdw,
and consequently the odds are several
times with the Cadets. With an elev-'
en that defeated Pennsylvania, N. C.
State, and Virginia, decisively, and
all the teams met so far this season,
the Virginians have good reasons to
expect a victory over Carolina. Stew
art and Leech are football players of
the highest type, fast and fighting,
and both have proven terrors against
all opponents this season.
To meet the Cadet's fast, open
game, sure to be used, Coaches Fuller
and Hite have been paying special
attention to training two good defen
sive ends. Morris, a lineman, and
Griff if th, a halfback, have been play
ing ends in the practice games this
week, and have showed flashes of
form. What Fuller has been trying to
do is two develop two fighting, slash
ing, flanksmen men that can handle
heavy interference.
As a result of the shifting this
Week Cochrane, a veteran end of last
season may warm the bench at the
beginning of the game. It is gener
ally believed, however, that before
the game is in Drosress lone-. Coch
rane will be in the game, for he is
too good a man to remain idle. Cray
ton, Liipfert, Woodall and Kernodle,
may get a chance to Dlav. too.' be
fore the game is over. ' ' 1:
The other positions will he nr.ie-
tically the same as heretofore. Lows
will be back in the game and McDon
ald will play quarter, since Pharr is
still on crutches. Hutchins will be
in one of the halfback positions arid
Spaugh and Tenney, if well, will ' .fill
tne otner nalves.
