wttl Duke University at DUKE Duke University at DUKE VOLUME XXXIII CHAPEL HILL, N, C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1925 NUMBER 29 mm MANNING HALL DEDICATION HELD FRIDAY MORNING WITH ADDRESS BY DR. WILLIAM REYNOLDS VANCE Yale Professor of Law Makes Principal Speech. LEGISLATORS PRESENT Many Prominent State Officials and Alumni of the University Attended the Dedication. PEAN FERSON MAKES SPEECH Building Presented to the University by Long Josephus Daniels Accepts in Behalf of Trustees. By E. S. Bam The exercises in dedication of Man ning hall for the school of law were held in Memorial hall, Friday morning, at 11:30. The chief speaker of the day was Dr. William Reynolds Vance, professor of law at Yale University and author of many historical and legal works. The members of the general assembly and others of the most prominent of the visitors were seated on the rostrum and a section in the center at the front was reserved for the glee club, the members pf the law school, and others of the alum ni and visitors. ' Before the opening exercises selections were given by the band. A short de- Jay on account of some of the busses bringing members of the legislature over from Raleigh failing to get here was filled oy other selections by the band. Among those who appeared on the rostrum were: President Chase, Dean Person of the law school, the Hon. Jose phus Daniels, Lieutenant-Governor El mer Long, the chief justices of the su preme court, E. W. Pharr, speaker of the house pf the North Carolina legis lature, G. V. Cowper.president of the North Carolina Bar association, and oth er prominent state officials and citizens. After the invocation by the Rev. Wal ter Patton, of the local Methodist church, (the glee club sang, "Grant tils to do with seal." Dr. Vance was then introduced by President Chase and mention made of the fact that the speaker's wife was a former resident of Chapel Hill. The subject of his address was, "New Values in Legal Education." He said that he regretted the fact that so many of the average people thought of the lawyer who chases ambulances and col lects bills as the typical lawyer. "The lawyer is not a heroic figure in the pub lic eye," " he said, and went on to ex plain that while his work is not so well known nor so obvious as that of a home run king, a man In search of some one seeks a person to be really trusted, he goes to a lawyer. The name of Darrow, who saved Leopold and Loeb from the gallows, was given. There are two classes of lawyers; one which make a trade of drawing up doc uments, and one which enters the pro fession with an ideal of service. While there are many legal activities that fall into the class of a mere trade, our social order can exist only with the unseen hand of the law. The part that law plays in a man's life begins before he is born and continues until after his death. While the trained lawyer is not usually a public asset, one who takes his profession in the right spirit is a great benefit to society at large. This hand of the law is not noticeable neither is that of gravity but the public becomes aware of it the moment it falls down. , However, there is a growing confi dence in the impartiality of the men turned out by university law schools, and the schools of the past are not to be compared with those of the present The great transition in the .manner of teaching law came when C. C Langdell was made dean of the Harvard law school in 1870 and introduced the prac tice of studying cases rather than the laws themselves. The struggles of the young lawyer are nothing now to what they have been. When Dr. Vance was graduated from his School, he went in search of a law firm that would permit him to work there for nothing so that he could get experience. When they started paying him $60 a month, he thought that he was unusually fortunate. Now all the prominent law schools of the country have standing orders from big law firms for their grad uates each year. This fact makes it very hard indeed to get prominent law yers to teach In schools, and it is be coming necessary to train the students to become instructors. . The problem now is to make the law a thing suited to present-day conditions and which is' a living thing. The law is the distilled essence of the experience of the, thousands of years of our predeces ors. As such, one should treat it with respect and think carefully before chang ing it. Those who are to do this work should be' those who know it best. . The address was followed with a selec tion by the glee club. C Continvud on pag four) A HELL-RAISER FROM CURRITUCK The first to jump out . of one of the big busses that brought the Old North State legislators up to Chapel Hill yesterday, was the Hell-raiser from Currituck. Seventy years old, with a beard almost two feet long, the old gentleman, apparently with one foot in the grave; commenced to dance around with the spryness of a 17-year-old dancing girl. "Boys, how do you feel? I'm from Currituck. Is there anybody up here from my section? I'm not a minis ter of the gospel, you know; has any body got a drink?" Much to his sorrow, he found the student body dry and hind pockets empty. Orange county seemed de void of its far-famed corn and North Carolina's Eldorado had suddenly gone dry. Just then, one of the legislators came up and imparted the informa tion that the man was the "Hell raiser from Currituck; they don't raise anything down there but ducks and H V TENNIS TOURNEY COMING TO HILL S. I. C. Tournament Will Be Played Here. PLAYED ON MAY 8 AND 9 New Courts Will Be Ready for Use by That Time. The annual tennis tournament of the southern intercollegiate conference , will be held in Chapel Hill this year on May 8 and 9. A telegram from the executive committee of the conference notifying Mr. Woollen to this effect was received by him last Wednesday. Until this year the tournament has been run off in Atlanta. During each of the past two years the. University has sent a team down there to enter the com petition and, on the whole, the teams have been successful. The singles title has been won for the past two years by Murray, of Tulane, but each year the runner-up has been one of the men on the Carolina team. Two years ago the University had both of her doubles teams at the end of the preliminary rounds and the finals were played off between these two teams. However, Tulane also won the doubles crown last year when their team beat that of the University." Entrances are expected from all the larger colleges in the South and one of the best fields of collegiate tennis teams that have ever gone out is expected to meet here for the contest. The University has 40 tennis courts in varying degrees of preparation," mostly to the east of the campus. While they are in very poor condition now, Manager Woollen has announced that he will put a large force of men to work on them on the first of March so as to have them all in perfect condition by the time of the tournament When finished, these courts will make up the largest set of courts in the state and possibly in the South. GRAIL DANCE ON NEXT SATURDAY With Fraternity Dance On Friday , Night Foot Shaking Will ' Be Big Affair. The Order of the Grail will give its first dance of the winter quarter next Saturday night in the Bynum gymnasi um. Since this is the first dance of the quarter open to the student body, it is expected that many will -be present for the foot shaking. A number of girls are also expected to be up for the week end, as a fraternity is having a dance here on Friday night ' Announcements have been sent out to various organizations on the campus with the idea that boys will have time to invite their girl friends down for the dance. Another fact that points to a good crowd from out of town is the fact that most of the examinations of the girls' colleges will be over and the girls can spare the time for th visit The North State Eight will probably play for the dance. Grail members an nounce that dancing will begin at 9 o'clock and will continue until the mid night hour. Attention is also called to the fact that freshmen are not per mitted to attend the dance. The prytar roof is on the new chemis try building and the plummers, pipers and electricians are fast completing the main piping. The building will probably be ready for use at the opening of sum mer school next June. RALLY IN FINAL QUARTER SAVES THRILLING GAME Carolina Trails During First Half But Stages Come Back to Win 26-12. COBB IS OUT OF GAME Poole, Substituting for Cobb, Leads Offensive and Piles Up Twelve Points to His Credit. Coming from behind in the last few minutes of the game with a scoring at tack that their opponents could not stop, the Carolina five piled UP goals on the Lynchburg college quint and won 26-12 last Tuesday night in the closest and most thrilling game played in the Tin Can this season. The game started with a rush when Oliver, Lynchburg forward, secured the hall in the first seconds of jilay and dropped a beautiful long shot through the net for( a two-point lead. Lynch burg, aided by this flying start, was able to keep the lead until the middle of the second half, .when Jimmie Poole, sub stituting for Captain Cobb, caged a fouj shot and tied the score at 12 all From that time on, with the exception of sev- eral minutes when the ball passed up and down the court from .one team to the other, the game was Carolina's. By virtue of many long and well aimed shots, Lynchburg succeeded in keeping just a step ahead .of the Jar Heels dur ing the entire .first half. At one .time, by securing three pretty shots in a ro, Lynchburg ran their lead up .to 6 points, but Carolina came back and finished the half strong, bringing their total to 9 i Continued on pant four) TWO HUNDRED STUDENTS MAKE THE HONOR ROLL DURING FALL QUARTER List Shows Honor Students Increased from 178 to1 200 During Fall Sixteen Freshmen Make "A" on AH CoursesSchool Commerce Students Fall Behind Record Made in 1923. The honor roll for the fall quarter has been released by Dr. G. K. G. Henry, assistant registrar, and shows an increase from 178 honor students in the fall of 1923 to an even 200 for the past fall. The list shows an increase in all schools except the school of commerce. The most radical increase in the roll is in the number of students who made a grade of "A" on all courses. , During the recent fall quarter 26 received the highest mark given as compared with 11 in the fall of 1923, and six in the fall of 1920. The number of freshmen mak ing "A" on all courses shows a great increase and almost double the number made by all other students taken to gether. The fact that a better prepared group of students comes here each succeeding year is shown by comparing the grades made during the last two fall terms. The honor roll follows: - , Adams, C.

DEBATE QUERIES ARE ANNOUNCED Young Announces Two New Debates. PRELIMINARIES NOT SET Plans For Another Debate With N. C. State. , Two additional intercollegiate debates have' been definitely scheduled for the spring quarter, according to announce ment by M. M. Young, Secretary of the debate council. George Washington University will be debated again this year as usual, the de bate taking place in Washington, D. C The query is, Retolved That the pro posed amendment to the Federal Consti tution authorizing the regulation of child labor should be adopted. . George Washr ington will Uphold the affirmative and North Carolina will defend the negative --this same negative team, on the same trip, also debating Johns Hopkins in the Washington and Lee-Hopkins tri angle. This will be a two-man team. Another Oxford Union debate with State college, to take place in Raleigh in the spring, is also assured. The query is, Resolved That Congress should enact the Cummins-Vaile- Birth Control bill. There is a possibility that this debate may be published in the University De baters' Annual for 1925-26. Carolina will be represented by one man on each side of the question. Carolina debaters are urged to prepare adequately for the preliminaries, the date of which will be announced later, and new men are especially urged to try out for places on the debating teams. So far this year, of the seven old debate letter men in school, two have tried out for places on intercollegiate teams. This fact is pointed to by the council as evi dence that there are plenty of opening for new men if they will work. Judges will in the future as they did in the South Carolina-William and Mary triangle have the privilege of throw ing out preliminary contests and order ing a second preliminary to be held at a later date, if, in the opinion of the judges, the preliminaries are below Uni versity standard. Time limit for preliminary speeches in the two debates announced is seven min utes on the first speech and four min utes on the rebuttal. Debaters are urged to begin work im mediately for the preliminary contests. CAPTAIN COBB UNABLE TO BE IN GAME TONIGHT Is Still Suffering With Infected Shoul derIn Shape for North era Trip. The Tar Heels will again be without the services and leadership of their cap tain when they meet Duke tonight Cobb is still suffering with an infected neck and shoulder and will not be able to play. Starting from a boil on his neck and aggravated by the hard exercise that he was undergoing in his daily work-outs, the infection spread down into his shoul der. Several days ago be went to Watts hospital in Durham, where two small in cisions Were made. He is now recovering end while not in shape to play in tonight's game, it is expected that he will be in fine fettle for the northern trip which begins next Friday. Winter Football Practice Daily Winter football practice, on a much larger scale than ever before attempted, has begun on the freshman field. Coach Bob Fetzer authorizes the statement that real scrimmages will be held, besides work in fundamentals and signal drills. There are still many men in school who should take advantage of this opportu lty to get in some real football practice during these weeks who have not re ported as yet It is hoped that the first of the week will find more out Demon Deacons Downed by Rally in Last Half, 22-18. CAPT. COBB IN HOSPITAL But Tar Heels Win Game Against Baptist Regulars With Poole Starring. SUBSTITUTED FOR JACK COBB Car Carrying Carolina Team Collides With Ford and Injures Negro : Woman Team Escapes. ' The Tar Heels again demonstrated their fighting spirit and ability to come from behind to win when they defeated the Wake Forest basketeers . Thursday night by the count of 22 to 18 after trailing on the short end of the score for over half the game. The Deacons played a stellar game during the first half and by virtue .of close guardihg and accurate shooting, finished in front by a four point lead, the score at the half way mark being 13 to 9. Coach "Monk" evidently had a confi dential talk with his men during the half, for when they went back into the game they proceeded to tear the Baptist of fense to pieces while demonstrating tliut their own offense was in good condition. During this final period the Gharrity men counted only five points while the Tar Heels rang up 13. . Billy Devin cut the Wake lead to two points shortly after the period opened up by caging a field goal, and with this leap the Carolinians opened up with the scoring machine and the tide turned in their favor. The defense which had been notably weak Compared to that exhib ited in other games, strengthened, and the Deacons were forced to try longer shots. Ober, playing at right guard, was the only Deacon successful and scored all five points for Wake Forest during the last half. , . . Poole was again high scorer for the game with 9 points, while Purser ran second with 6 points to his credit. No one of the Deacons stood out in 'the t scoring, Emmerson, Daniel nnd Ober all tieing for the leading position with five points each. With Captain Cobb already resting in Watts, hospital, the rest of the squad came within a few Inches of joining him when their automobile collided with a Ford, badly damaging both cars but in juring no one save a negro woman in the flivver. She was badly cut and bruised. Coach Monk and his crew were forced to get another auto to finish their trip.. TAR HEELS MEET OLD BUCK TODAY Play New University on Dur ham Court. COBB STILL IN HOSPITAL Last Game Tonight Before Long' Northern Trip. With three barriers Successfully passed the Tar Heels are rushing for ward to the state championship with only two opponents yet to be disposed of; Guilford, Davidson, and Wake For est have been passed, Duke and State yet remain. Tonight in the new alumni memorial gymnasium at Duke, teams representing the University of North Carolina and Duke University, will meet for the first time. In past days the rivalry between Trinity's basketeers and the Carolina cagemen was of the keenest and most intense sort. The Tar Heels were the only Reason that the Blue Devils were not heralded as state and South Atlantic champions on three occasions. The game tonight is hardly expected to be such a fight as those of the past two years, for the men who made Trini ty famous on the court have graduated and their places are yet to be filled by men of equal calibre. Still it will he a fighting team that faces Coach Monk's men and it is not impossible that Caro lina will lose. Since this game will be the last chance that the Carolina students will have to see the team in action until Feb. 12 when the Gamecocks of South Carolina come here It will doubtless draw a big crowd of followers to the Durham city. Captain Cobb is still suffering with his neck and shoulder and will not be able to play. Professor Norman Foerster has had plans for a residence prepared by Archi tect Salter of Raleigh and expects to build on a lot purchased from Mr. Ver non Howell in the near future. Ail the houses In the Glmghoul section are occupied with the exception of the one erected by Dean D. D. Carroll.
