This was fifty years ago, in 1875. ,.The University of North Carolina lived through the dark days of the War be tween the States and was the only Southern College to observe its com mencement in 1865, the last and darkest year of the conflict. In that year there were three seniors and of these three, only one was graduated. The picture of the years of tragedy and pathos through which It had Just passed are graven indelibly on the tab lets that rest here in Memorial Hall. Here stands the names of 300 of the University's sons who paid the final tribute of their devotion. One out of every eight if the living alumni at the outbreak of the war is on this list of Confederate dead.

Jimison" Although the University of North Car olina is "far kenned and noted" as a liberal institution, as a pioneer in social progress and as a powerful advocate of intellectual freedom, yet one has to Come in personal contact with It, has to personally observe its work and breathe the atmosphere of its campus to really appreciate what it is doing. A brief sojourn here will convince any one that Carolina is the greatest liberalizing influence in the state.

NEW MASCOTS ARE OFFERED STUDENTS ; Eddie Brietz, sports editor of the Charlotte Obterver, Wired the University News Bureau yesterday that the Ob server would be glad to present to the student body a registerd South Down ram for a mascot.. He said the ram was ready to be shipped as soon as instrue tlons were received. : The members of the junior class let it be known at their smoker recently that they would sponsor a movement- to secure . another mascot for the student body as a successor to Rameses III, who died last summer, and R. M. Hardee was, appointed chairman of a committee which was to try to get ram or a billy goat, to be accepted by the junior class for the student body as a gift or at par value. It has been learned that a ram has been offered by Dan Burns, of Ashe- boro, s law student here last year. It is felt that either the Obierver't or Burns' offer will be gratefully ac cepted and that a representative of the student body will be dispatched the first of the week to escort Rameses IV to Chapel Hill In time to have him on hand for the game with State College Thurs day. Dean A. H. Patterson, of the School of ' Applied Science, last night in the Chapel oh-The Cross delivered the final lecture, "The Present Situation, of his series of three lectures, "Religion and Science." In the first lecture Dr. Patterson told his audience how. in the old Asiatic and Oriental countrie's religion and science had practically been synonyms. The priest had also been the astronomers and the teachers. Dean Patterson's second lecture gave his listeners an inkling into the rising conflict between religion and science. After the first great scriptures and philosophical studies had been writ ten by the Israelites, theology com menced to rely chiefly .on the written worki science, on the other hand, relied mainly on research, experimentation, and the testing of theories. In the concluding lecture, with no mincing of words, the real present day situation was presented and discussed. The stand of several classes of religious thinkers literalist, conservatives, mod ernist, and ultra-modernist was ex plained in detail. The speaker made a sincere plea for tolerance and abeyance of judgment until a thorough study of modern problems was made by both the unpredjudiced theologians and scientists. Winding up his speeches he expressed the hope that North Carolina would not make an inane joke of Itself as did her sister state, Tennessee, in the recent farcial proceedings there. Dean Patterson's lectures proved so interesting that he has been asked to re peat them at the' Men's Bible Class of the Christian Church. The next series of lectures at the Chapel of the Cross will be given by Dr. W. deB. MacNider. The title of the second series of lectures will be "Re ligion and Medicine." Tom Young's s 80-Yard Run in Fourth Quarter Features. UPSET DOPE A BIG SURPRISE Bonner, Underwood, and Young All Star While Entire Team Piles up ' Biggest Score Since 1922. With f Rabbit" Bonner and Emmctt Underwood playing the stellar roles, Car olina won from Duke Saturday on Mantis Field in Durham 41 to 0. 1 ; .. The Tar Heels pulled a surprise party and ran up their largest score since the South Atlantic champions beat Wake Forest in 1922 by the score of 62 to 3. ' The Carolina cousht-s used a host of substitutes 'during the game, but still the score mounted, the second string men showing up well. Turn YYoung, half back, played in his first varsity game and worked like a veteran. His 80-yard run back of the kick-off in the last quarter was a feature of the game. The Carolina line held the Duke backs to seven first downs, while the Tar Heels tallied with 13 first downs. , ' ' 1 First Half Underwood took the heart out of the' Blue Devjls at the very start " of the first half when he snatched up a Duke fumble and raced 40 yards for' a Tar Heel touchdown. The fumble on the first Duke play, when Morehead tack led Frank so hard that the swift-footed Duke half-back fumbled the ball. Un derwood scooped it up on the run and skirted the Blue Devils' right end. Sparrow drop-kicked the point after touchdown and the score proper chalked up Carolina 7, Duke 0. Carolina kicked off to Duke again and after several punts the Tar Heels started another drive that ended across the Duke goal-line shortly before the close of the first period.
