Carolina surprised her most
ardent supporters by defeating
V. M. I. 2 to 0 on Emerson
Held Saturday.
Brilliant runs by Ferrell,
Young, Stanford, add McPher
son figured largely in the points
amassed by Carolina's gridiron"
aggregation is the eon test. The
final score is m accurate defini
tion of the strength of the two
' teams, as Carolina's tallies cafne
as the result of three spectacular
runs and one forward pass
Only twice did Carolina succeed
in carrying" the ball within the
keydefs sevCH 'yard line1 on
short line plays. Once the key
dets obtained the pigskin by
holding Carolina for" downs on
the three yard line. In the other
instance; Carolina scored when-,
on the fourth" down, Furches
'whipped an accurate pass to Shu
ford who then, -proceeded to
plunge across the goal line for
a touchdown.
Ferrell Scores
Despite the fact that two of
our leading North Carolina
dailies state the facts different
ly,, it was Ferrell' who in the
arly part of the first period
' twisted through left tackle and,
aided by the excellent interfer
ence of EIHson, Jenkins, McMur
ray, Warren and Shuler, ran 62
yards to- register Carolina's
s first touchdown. Hackney
dropkicked the point after
touchdown.
This score was the only tally
during the first, naif. The ini
tial two periods? with the excep
tion of Ferrell's run, were waged
on almost even terms.- Carolina
. registered five first downs to
three for V. M. I.
Until the last minute the
third quarter was- a terrific
melee. VJJ..I. was forced 'to
adopt defensive tactics, with the
exception of several ' ineffective
passes; but succeeded in holding
the Tar Heels in check. Seconds

The University Music De

a fairly large audience of fac

goers. The usual handful of
students was in attendance.
Charles Troxell, tenor, began
the concert with the recitative
"And God Created Man," arid
the aria "In Native Worth" from
Haydn's "The Creation." Haydn,
it will be remembered, came
well within the classic school,
and though life was precarious

works none of the sentimentali

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS GIVES
SAYSHTBBARD
Purpose of A. B; School Is To" Give Cultural and Not Professional
or Vocational Training-System of Majors and'
, - Elective' Is Explained'
By Walter Spearman
What is the use - of a College
of Liberal Arts? Just what does
the College of Liberal Arts in
the University of North Caro
lina accomplish? Does it pre
pare a man for a practical life?
Is it merely a vat in which the
student is dipped in order to re
ceive a veneer of the so-called
"culture"? Does it give a thor
ough education or a smattering
of knowledge?
In the' College of Liberal Arts
for the first two years the stu
dent f bllows a definite course of
study, consisting of work in
English, foreign languages, his
tory, mathematics, and science.
By his junior year he must de
cide what special line of study
he would like to pursue and
choose that for his "major".
This elective system used in the
junior and senior year allows
a 'man to specialize in one of
three fields of work: Language'
and Literature ; Philosophy, Pol
itical and Social Sciences ; or
Mathematics, Natural Sciences,
Psychology. From his major
department 5 the student must
take three to' five' courses each
of his last two years. His oth
er courses are to be selected at
his- choice save that he must
choose one course from each of
the other departments.
This elective system of spec
ialization ' tends to pattern the
Liberal .rts College after the
professional schools; it leads
away from the function of Lib
eral Arts education and yet can
not hope to attain the vocation
al perfection of the true pro
fessional ' school.1 This fact is
probably the cause of the with
drawal of many . students from
the A. B. work to the profession
al school. The enrollment of the
College' of Liberal Arts fell oft
this year by 35 students.
The fact that A.' B.' courses
call !f or less ' work and fewer
hours attracts a large percent
age'bf the students who are sent
to: college, that is, those' who are
not really interested in their
work; and of course this type of
students weakens any school."
The outstanding criticism lev
eled against the College of Lib
eral' Arts is that it does not ac
tually prepare a man to earn his
living in the world after he has
finished' college. The man most
capable of answering this ac
cusation is Dean' Clarence Ad
disbri Hibbard, Dean of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts. In dis
cussing the functions of such a
school he said:
"A College of Liberal Arts
cannot be justified as a voca
tional school ; its courses are not
conceived as practical. Modern
America has gone rabid over
monetary success: The function
of a College of Liberal Arts is
to show that. there is another
half materialistic. The other
kind of success than that based
upon money. It adds not to
richness in the bank but to
richness of spirit.
"A mass of tradition and spir
it has grown up around man for
centuries ; and one phase of the
work of a College of Liberal
Arts is to acquaint modern man
with traditions of the past, not
for the sake of facts, but that
they may become a real part of
his spiritual and mental equip
ment. Man lives in the present,
a present which is not more than

TOUCHDOWN BY FENNER
The Carolina freshmen wait

Saturday, and went down to de
feat by the score of 14 to 6.
i State had things pretty much

half and shoved' over their two
touchdowns in this part of the
game. The xar .babies came
back with a vengeance in the
last' half, scored a. touchdown,
and kept the ball in State ter
ritory until the end of the game.
Two forward passes grounded
behind State's goal line are. ex
amples of the Tar Babies' of
fensive threats in the latter part
of the game. r
Orice again, as ' in the South
Carolina "game two weeks ago,
the Tar Babies' inability to
break up' forward passes cost
them a victory. In the begin

Whisnant, Tar Baby safety man,
and a State end caught a long
forward pass together on Car
