No. 66 THE PAST YEAR The last of the transitional years since the unsettled days of the war is behind us. During these years and especially throughout the year just past we have been working upward through the haze that those years ; cast around us to a more complete crystallization of our ideals. The year just drawing to a close has not been so much a period of achievement as it has been one of reconstruction and settlement. We have been busy gathering up the loose ends of our life here. This very reconstruction has called for some of the clearest thinking ever done by Carolina men. The problems confronting them were the na tural outgrowth of the passing of the University from the small state col lege it was of the days before the war to the larger and finer national posi tion it occupies today. The growth of a desire among the people of the state for further advantages for higher education within the boundaries of North Carolina made a larger appropriation for the University inevitable. Through the efforts of students and alumni the legislature saw this need and gave most generously to all the state institutions of higher learning. So this year has seen the appropriation and plans made for a great in crease in the capacity of the University. Architects and builders have been secured and the work will be pushed forward immediately for the building of the greater University. During the spring of the year just past in inevitable change in the government of the student body became apparent! Since the founding of student government here the president of. the senior class had always been ex-officio president of the student council. He was the dominating influ ence in the student council and it seemed unjust that he should be elected by so small a group oi men as the senior class when his duty lay in directing the government of all students in the Uhiveraity. Thinking students saw the wrong in this system of government and put on foot a movement to have the president of the student council and the president of the student body elected by all the students of the University. This change is outstanding in the actual achievements of the student body for the year. players will present "The Merchant happily remembering Chapel Hill as ox Venice" in the Forest Theatre in Battle Park. On the same evening, but in the Palyhouse, will be pre sented Eugene O'Neil's noted play, j "Beyond the Horizon." The last named play is perhaps the ' most significent play in modern Amer ican drama. It is a folk play a trg- edy of a country boy. The author : of this play was awarded the Pul itzer prize of five thousand dollars for writing the best play produced on Broadway in 1920.

If it only could I am sure we should I give a rainy hour to this letter. It is always easy to remember Chapel Hill, even in Europe, especially when one meets Carolina friends, as I met Professor and Mrs. Dey and Mr. C. O. Spruill, Jr., in Paris. You may be sure we had a good talk about home. Of course, I also see Mr. Spruill frequently in Oxford, where he has been working rather hard in his studies and on the river.

We expect to leave Oxford in July to spend the rest of the summer in North Wales, and to sail from Liver pool in the first week of September.

Huske, of the class of 16, in the insurance department of the American Trust Company of cnarlotte, was on the Hill last Saturday. The old Archer house, now occu pied by the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, has been purchased by the University authorities to be used as a co-ed club nouse. This building and the old In athletics the University has taken a distinct step forward by secur- j Rolerson home next door will be used ing the services of William Fetzer as general coach and supervisor of alii8 temporary women dormitories or athletics. In this work Coach Fetzer will be assisted by his brother, Robert cIub houses, fetzer. Both men have splendid reputations and under their leadership Carolina should make greater advances than ever before in her athletics history. During the past year Carolina has done well Two state chamnion- ships have been added to her score and athletics within the student body nas Deen given a decided impetus. The University publications have advanced far beyond what they were in other years. The Tar Heel has in a great degree increased its usefulness to the whole University by advancing from a weekly of questionable value to a live and influential semi-weekly publication. The Carolina Magazine at the beginning of the year just passed changed its form and style and rose from the little, drab, seldom read pamphlet to a cheerful and interesting magazine that has found favor with the student body throughout the whole year. The Yackety Yack has creditably held up the high standard attained by recent Carolina annuals. Among the publications the year has been one of distinct achievement. 1 The last of the transitional years is over and in it we have not only gathered up the loose ends that reconstruction has brought us but in a vital and living way the student body has succeeded in carrying the burden of advancement from the old Carolina to the new and greater University. THE CLASS OF 1921 The class of 1921 is passing through the last days of its stay at Car olina. Since their arrival in the days of Captain Allen's armv thpv have stood out on the campus as a superior class. Always the class as a body nas bioou lor an mat was nnest and best here. It is not so much a class strong as a body but strong in the outstanding, individuals whp dominated it. At times there has not been as complete a unity as might have been desired among them but this was directly the result of the strength of the class and the clash of the strong men who made it up. The class of 1921 has not been a class strong in the unity of kindred spirirts but a group powerful in the greatness of its individual Thufe those individuals Carolina has profited and the class of 1921 and the Uni versity snares in their achievements. At the recent meeting of the execu tive committee of the board of trus tees in Raleigh Mr. W. N. Everett was appointed by Governor Morri son to serve on the University build ing committee. Miss Elizabeth Taylor of Morgan ton and of the class of '19, is a visi tor at the home of Miss Mildred ' Moser. For the past year Miss Tay lor has been in attendance at the Sargent Dramatic School, in New York city. During her stay at the University she led all other actors and actresses in the Carolina Play makers in dramatic interpretation, her most signal performance perhaps being the character of the farm ten ant's wife in "Peggy," written by Harold Williamson. the calendar year. As. for innova tions in the curriculum, the most im portant, :for' prospective Rhodes scnoiars, are the inauguration of a new school of philosophy, Politics and Economics (decided upon, af ter a battle, as against a school of Economics exclusively) and the adoptions of the Ph. D. degree. Car-; olina men who plan to take their degree at Oxford should have the A. M. if possible before beginning their work here. We have been fortunate . this year in respect to music and the theatre, a large num-1 ber of the best things in London having been brought to Oxford, j Then, it has been a year of roya! ! visitors: first the Prince of Wales, who received an honorary degree and participated in the unveiling of the war memorial at Magdalen, and lat er Queen Mary, who received the first honorary degree awarded to a women and, by visiting the woman's colleges, gave them the royal sanc tion.

I AN ACUTE NEED With the coming of Commencement and the influx of hundreds who will spend those days here a particularly acute need of Chapel Hill and the University is made more distressingly apparent. We have invited our alumni and friends to be with us during the days of the Commencement exercises. Many of them are coming and we are humiliated by the poor provisions we are able to make for their comfort. At best we can crowd them in the homes of our faculty Who are noted or the very delightful hospitality. But in no possible way we are able to make comfortable and convenient arrangements for the hundreds who will come to Bpend those days with us The supreme need of the University of today is a hotel. With the numerous games, dances, exercises, and such occasions which fill out calendar is one constantly in demand. With the completion of the new road to Durham visitors will always be coming to us and each year hat Been and will see this need grow more acute. Along with other buildings here a hotel should be erected. The day it past when we could say we should have it; today we must." : i Air.photerothen has decided to have a grand reunion this coming com mencement. The organization, form ed in 1912, has about seventy mem bers on its rolls. At least one-third of these men will be on the Hill for the different class reunions and it was thought to be a fine plan to hold the Amphoterothen reunion at the same time. New members to be taken into the organization this year will be initiated during the course of the reunion.
