Professor Daggett came to the I'ni versity in INK! to take charge of the Electrical Engineering department which was then n part of the Mathematics school.

Druggist-Lover Is Relieved of Watch It is rumored tha a cm-tain member of the Pharmacy School is advising nil bis friends to carry a double-barrelled gun in each hand when venturing upon the highways in these and nearby parts. This bold swain is one of the select few who make social calls in the village, which proves his aforesaid boldness de spite any evidence to the contrary which may follow. A few nights ago as this sprouting young druggist was wending his way homeward, his mind filled with, who knows what sweet memories of a heaven ly evening spent in angelic company, be was rudely brought to earth by a harsh voice demanding, "Whatcha got onya. I to':" Although the gentleman admits he was startled, he points out with pride that he had suHicient presence of mind ro try deceit on the intruder. "N-n-n-nothing." he stammered. Hut the Hard Hoy was not to be fooled by such an obvious mis-statement. "Come on," he growled, "How about a watch?" The victim was about to enter upon a stam mering explanation that be hud left his watch at home, when Hard Hoy drew a gun a little, less than a mile long and advised more show of speed. The un lucky student didn't lose much time in handing over his watch, but his real ex hibition of speed came when he received the word to make himself scarce. Trying to the nerves as the preceding incident was, the real shock came the next morning when, after a night of tossing and stammering lies in his sleep, he awoke to find his watch on the table bv his bed and with it a note advising him not to give his watch to every Tom, Dick anil Harry that asked for it. One of the three might take a notion to keep it some day. The young man suspects that he has been "eedar-birded" ; but he is emphatic in his statement that here after his girl will have to keep account of the time when he goes n calling.

The annual meeting of the I'niversity Visiting Committee will lake place Thurs day night. The Committee is composed of George C. Holderness, Tarhoro: l T. llartsell. Concord: G. C. Green, Wcl don: A.

Van Heck", who for the past two years has been an associate professor of law in the I'niversity, and since April. V.G'2. editor-in-charge of The North Carolina Law lteview. published by the Law School, has resigned to ac cept an associate professorship it) the School of Law of the I'niversity of Kansas., at Lawrence. Kansas. lie ex pects Jo leave the Hill about July -1st. and will enter upon his work at Kansas in the second term of the summer session, beginning July Kith. Mr. Van Hecke came to the I'niversity in 1021. He is a member of the legal fraternity of Phi Alpha Delta, and of the college fratern ity of Delta Sigma Phi. In a statement given to the Tar Heel on Saturday, Mr. Van Hecke said: "We have not arrived nt this decision to leave Chapel Hill without regret. Our associa tions with the student body and with the faculty have meant much. We have taken considerable pride in the reactions to my work. The response of the Xorth Carolina bench and bar to the establish ment of the Law Ueview has been splen did. And the treatment afforded me by the I'niversity Law School administra tions has been gratifying. To tear loose from these relations has caused me and my family no little pain. We feel, how ever, that the step means a professional advancement find warrants this sacrifice. I feel sure, too, that the Administration will find a man to take my place who can carry on the Law lieview and my fetching activities with distinction." The unexplored portion of Ontario, known as the district of Patricia, will vield fat lines to adventurous prospeetors, aei-nrdiug to a representative of it Win nipeg syndicate. Judge said he had none such for the oc casion. There was a line frenzy of battle in his sharp-darting eyes. "Young men," he said, "you are going out into the world to look for success ! Mountain peaks are lonely places; the trail to success is a rocky one. Many clamber and fall : it chosen few, a fight ing few, can reach the top. But ;" can be one of the few! Each one of you can succeed! but you must pay the price. Fight, light, fight, without quarter to foe or pawn. You must keep your eye on success, and it must temper to steel with gazing! Friends must be sacrificed, pleasures must be foregone ! Von must be hard, without mercy. Hum oil into the wee hours; eat your lunch with your mind so on your business that you won't.! know what you're eating. I have suc ceeded as a lawyer, gentlemen and 1 had to pay the price. For ten years, I hardly knew my children by name. In every profession it is the same. It is not best, perhaps, but it is true that only the fittest the hardest, and most enduring, survive! He intense, be hard, swerve not for friend or foe, shatter obstacles, and you'll succeed. Look at the successes of history. They have been lonely men, they used their friends for pawns: and then for stepping stones under their feet. Napoleon was that kind of a man. Look what he did! No mail ever lived in the annuls of history who did not rise above his fellows, and he had to step on someone to do' it." And so on, through all the mazes of materialism and a fierce economic; philos ophy, the Judge harangued. Prof. Williams sat through this tirade, hut when it was over, he arose to seak. "I was very much interested," he said, "in my friend, the Judge's remarks. but I don't believe a word he said." He went on to say that success is not to be measured by the Hare it makes, not in what a man piles up. hut in what he contributes to mankind. "Truth is im mortal. The hard, selfish men will not be known a hundred years from now. but the men who contribute to society will live forever. There are three kinds of men," he continued, "First, those whose life is centered in the senses, whose greedy purpose is to satisfy the senses. Work for that kind of success, if you want it, but just remember that your dog is a bigger success than you are. everv sense he has is keener than yours. "The second type of man is he whose mind must align itself blindly with some party or faction, and adhere to that. It can never rise beyond his party. The third type is the mind that, thinks out new Truths, for itself. It contributes. All minds are potentially of this tyiie; to become of this type is to become thinker, it is Liberty and Freedom freedom from the domination of the senses, and freedom from the prejudices of party. "Napoleon did not rise above his senses and his party. He contributed nothing to human or divine Truth. On the other hand, a Carpenter of Gullilee. who used a method the exact opposite oft Napoleon's and Judge Winston's, has re made Civilization since He gave the calendar of the world a new starting point." Judge Winston sat through all this, chuckling. At the end. he wished to be heard. "Napoleon," he said, "contribut ed the 'Code Napoleon' to the world's system of laws." Not even crude justice has been done to the eloquence of these two giant in tellects, here. The word "debate" is a poor signification for it : it was a contest cif gladiators in the Philanthropic Coli seum, All the fervor of the stalely, grand days, when the Judge was a Senior ami lloiaie Williams a Freshman, was re ill) lll'tu:!!'.

At shortly after 1H:.'!0, a truce was declared. Neither side sur rendered; there was a casualty list on both sides. The gladiators had battled hard, and tin' audience turned thumbs not lnw n.
