"This was shown to some of the pro fessors at ' the Southwestern Presbyter ian University of this city, and Dr. Shaw who had also attended the' University of North Carolina sent a notice of the same " to- the Charlotte Observer hoping' to get farther evidence to establish its connec tion with the University.

B. Andrews "In presenting the plate to-the Uni versity, 'Grand Master Andrews spoke as follows "One hundred and twenty-three years . ago the cornerstorie of the first build ing of the University of North Carolina was laid by a comparatively small num ber of men. Deprived of early educa tional advantages, practically all of them had been, largely, if not entirely, edu cated in the school of the seven-years war of American Independence. 'Their leader was General William R. Davie, fortunately for him and for the state, a graduate of Princeton College. That was a time when "young men dreamed dreams and old men saw visions.' The young men dreamed dreams of an in stitution that to the youth -of following generations would furnish an education, the opportunity for which they had been denied. The old men saw the vision of the usefulness of such an institution to . the state and nation, how it would ele vate its people, and benefit and. brighten their lives. '" ' "Just as today the most- striking out ward observance of this anniversary is the academic profession, so was thji pro cession at that time. There were no fac ulty or students to compose an academic procession, but instead the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina, led by its Grand : Master, '' William R. Davie (one of the trustees of the University, and a commissioner to locate its site) publicly assembled under a large poplar tree, and marched in procession, after which the cornerstone of Old East build ing was laid with Masonic ceremonies In the northeast corner. A letter of General Davie's, describing the occur rences of that day, written scarcely two weeks afterward, contains the statement J that William Richardson Davie. SPANISH ORGANIZATION - BECOMES ACTIVE AGAIN (Contintwd from page ont) other night equaled that at any time in the past history of the Club and if the intense teal manfested continues at sub sequent meetings the revived organiza tion promises to be one of the most active on the campus. During recent years Prof. M. B. Ad ams has been the advisor. Two years ago a debate similar to the one planned ngdjju this year was held at Davidson between tennis consisting of three men on each, one team from the Spanish club at Davidson and one from the club here. All speeches were delivered al together in Spanish. The University came out victorious. An exceedingly large crowd attended the debate, many making the trip from Charlotte, especial ly many high school pupils. 1 he University lias been very fortu nate in having a large number of Spanish speaking students enrolled. These stu dents have in the past addetl much to the occasion of the meetings. Moreover, students from Duke have from time to time have been invited to the 'meetings of the Club. This policy is expected to be continued in the .future. FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL WILL PUBLISH PAPER News About Work of the Y" and CouncU Here Will Be Sent to Hi-Y Clubs Throughout the State. v MRS.

The meeting was presided over by John Anderson, vice-president, in the absence of Bob Harper, president of the council. After a short business meet ing in which the discussion of the new publication and the .election of its staff were the principal things taken up, one of the usuul monthly smokers was held, a string duet composed of M, B. Madi son and P. A. S. Mendenhall furnishing several selections which proved to be especially entertaining to the group. Re freshments in the form of hot choco late, cakes, apples, and cigarettes were served. . ", A dummy, of the proposed publication was shown to the council and discussed in detail by Joe Bobbitt, chairman of the committee in charge of Working up plans for the paper. " It will be a four- page folder and will contain news about the work of the "Y" and council here and will present facts oi interest con cerning the work of II.-Y clubs in North Carolina. Thereby, a 'point of contact wnl be established between the Uuiver- sity'Y" and the Hi-Y' clubs and be tween the Hi-Y clubs themselves to whom it is tobe sent. Walter Spearman, editor of the paper, was editor of the Charlotte High School annual last year. It might also be men tioned that he received a prize while in high school as winner of the State High School Latin Contest and that it was the same man who received the highest grade in the intelligence test given to all the freshmen by the psychology depart ment last fall. He has, moreover, been very active as a member of the council. HIEF FEATHERSTONE .i REPORTS ACTIVITIES Semi-Annual Report Shows That Very Active Work Is Done by Local Police Force.

The scheme was discussed and agreed upon last Fri day evenings at the first meeting of the club for the new year, and it is hoped to get the first issue of the publication to the press on or about April 1 of this year. -.''' v The members have not been able to perfect all of the details of the plan thus far; but it is believed that the effort can be made successful. Onslow has made considerable progress in recent years, be ing one of the counties struck hardest by the good roads mania. These recent events as well as the early history of the people, largely unwritten, will be touched upon from time to time s op portunity allows. The club members be lieve that is doing this they would ren der a great service to themselves and the home folks. The editorial staff will be Walter Harrell, '26, editoMn-chief Horatio Bullock, 28, and Stacy Grant, 28, associate editors; and John ' Rufus Owens, '29, business manager. At the Friday evening meeting the club went on record as being in favor of closer relationships between the or ganization and the high school boys of the county. At least a part of the lat ter will be urged to attend the annual Christmas banquet, held in Jacksonville in which the students from the Univer sity participate in collaboration with the alumni of the county." New officers to serve the club during the remainder of this school year were elected at the last meeting. These are John Kuf us Owens, president j H. L. Barbee, vice-president; and Howard M. Starling, secretary-treasurer.

BIRDS-EYEVIEWOF THE SPORT WORLD By L. N. Bran North Carolina's sport world'has been replete with happenings since Christmas holidays. ; Two coaches have abdicated from their erstwhile thrones, two of the Tar Heel athletes have fallen before the arrows of Dan Cupid, and the unex pected has , indeed happened when i a Tpr Heel basketball team fell before the onslaughts of a team from within the bounds of the state. The latest scandal in the North Caro lina sport circles is only hinted at through the columns of our favorite newspapers. No pajier comes out fair and square and states the causes of Tank Garrity's resignation from the coaching assignment at Wake Forest, Even the students of the' Baptist col lege- themselves do not know what un pardonable sin the former Princeton and AH-American halfback has done to bring down upon his head the censure of the good Baptist brethren who direct the destinies of the Wake Forest athletics All the Baptist students realize is that they are losing the only coach they ever had and that their athletic fortunes for the future look about as bright as the prospects of Napoleon on St. Helena. With Bill Fetzer on the, voluntary re tired list, it looks like the breach of re lations at Wake Forest is the working of Fate to give Carolina the chance of he life-time to ruke off a real ace. What ever he Hunk Garrity's dire offenses, he is a great football and baseball mentor, anei the crying need here on the "Hill" Is for one of that species of the genus homvs. It is a question now whether the University, under censure already, can afford to risk more criticism by sign. ing the erstwhile Baptist mentor.

" "" " real piace to the winter sport. - Play Events of the past two weeks would lend evidence to the support of the llft- ory that Carolina athletes are particular J ly susceptible to the charms of the oppo site sex and the arrows of, the God of Love. First Andy' Bell wrecks a per fectly good National Championship Four Mile Relay Team by hopping off for ife 'journey on the Seas of Matrimony, and now Bunn Hackney lends the bas ketball team an air of romance by weigh ing anchor and setting sail in pursuit of Bell, who is also a fraternity brother of Hackney. A call for candidates for win ter football practice has ben is sued. Practice started Thursday afternoon. It is urged that a large quota of men: present themselves at the stadium to train under the personal super vision of Coach Bob Fetzer. -'Results do not slfbw that ro mance and basketball go well to- gether either, for the newly-wed groom and his teammates pro ceeded to celebrate the wedding by losing the only game lost in the state in more than four ' years. Nobody wants the blame, so let's blame it on romance. That one point defeat was a heart breaker for all Carolina men who saw the game, and more especially so when it is known that the Tar Heels are po tentially a fifteen point better team than their conquerors. After seeing the Bap tists toy gymnasium this writer ..would ; r- : On second thought it might be a paying proposition to the other colleges of the state, from the standpoint of games won and lost for all of them to-club up and pre' sent Wake Forest with a gmna. sium.

Let's get LATIN CONTEST TO BE HEP FEBRUARY 24TH High Schools Will Compete Under the Auspices of Extension Division - and Latin Department. The second annual iM'm contest will be held on February 21. The contest is being held under the auspices of the Extension Division and the Latin De partment of the University. Rules and regulations of the contest have been mailed to all of the accredited high schoolstf the state, with an invitation to join. ' By means of the contest it is hoped to aid in stimulating interest in the study of I.atin in the high schools. No spe cial preparation is necessary on the part of the students for entrance to the con test. The contest is arranged to test the student's knowledge of Latin in the simplest and "most direct way: by trans lation and grammar questions. To se cure complete impartiality in estimating the papers submitted, the faculty mem bers of the Latin department of the University will act as the judges of the papers sent in to Chapel Hill. Mem bers of the Sophomore, Junior, and Sen ior classes of the high schools will be allowed to enter. Each school is to select its three beSt papers for final submission to the judges at the Uni versity. A trophy cup will be awarded to the high school whose student sub mits the best paper, and honorable men tion will be cgiven to several other stu dents. Any schools who wish to enter tlie contest are asked to notify the com mittee at Chapel Hill by February 18th. The contest was won last year by Walter Spearman, of Charlotte High School.
