The chief purpose is to' display through a number of interesting exhibits, the work being' done in-the different de partments of the school. In the laboratories a number of ex periments will be run to demonstrate the various types of work done by the students in the course of their work. The. Departments of Mathematics and Physics, which are allied with the School of Engineering, will also have exhibits. One of the most interesting of the exhibits will be by the English Department of the School of Engi neering which will put on display sam ples - of the work done by their stu dents, such as laboratory and inspec tion trip reports, technical papers, and business writing' of the type required of the engineer. ,v- . The first open' house was held last year. It drew visitors from all parts of the state and proved such a sue cess that it was decided to hold an other this spring. It is being put on by the students, with the sponsorship of the faculty. Visitors are promised a view of much new equipment that has been installed in the laboratories since last spring. The object of the open house, says the announcement, "is to acquaint the people Qf the state with the Engi neering School- at the University. Very few people know that there is , an exceedingly well-equipped and highly rated engineering school at the University, offering courses in civil, electrical, mechanical, sanitary, hy- draullc, and chemical engineering." The open house will sart imme diately after the Carolina-Virginia baseball game here on Friday, May 11. Special exhibits and contests have been arranged for the ladies. . Plans to Restore Battle Park Beauty - - i Scheme Is Under Way to Remove Sewage Disposal from the Gimghoul Section. Plans are being made to move the University's sewage ' disposal plant from the! Gimghoul section, and tojn stitut a modern sewer system for the present tank.' It is hoped that these efforts wilL restore the beauty of former days to Battle Park. The present plan is to abandon both the disposal plant jand. the tank and to run ai adequate pipe line down to the municipal plant to the east in the creei "valley. It is estimated that the cost of the line - will approximate $10,000. The ' University authorities have agreed to recommend to the trustees an appropriation of $2,000, which would represent the advantage which the University would gain from the abandonment of the plant. The village estimates that it would " be justified inexpending $6,000, while it has been proposed that the Gimghouls offer the .remaining amount. The tank was built formerly to serve about half a dozen houses,' while at present there are seventeen houses in this colony. The present underground drainage system fails, to meet the demands of the situation. The ' Gimghouls made a gift of a large tract, forming part of Battle-'-' Park, to remain permanently as a wild woodland, and' they are averse to having this marred. : . If the scheme matures the ; loveli ness of Battle Park, which occupies an important place in the history and traditions of the University, will be restored again. 1 v V J President Chase, who is in Chicago this week on business, will leave Mon day for Charleston, S. C, where he will deliver the commencement ad dress at the College-of Charleston on the' following day, May 8. . Miss Mela Royal spent the week end with her family in Goldsboro.

Brockmann Spoke ' In Chapel Monday On Topic 'Surgery' "Go slowly in deciding to become a surgeon" was the keynote in Mr. H. L. Br ockmann's talk on "The Op portunities in Surgery" which was, made in chapel Monday. Mr. Brock mann is a surgeon in the High Point Hospital and was making the - six teenth of a group of vocational lec tures which are being given at the University. "There are many prob lems facing a young surgeon today','1?' Mr. Brockmann stated, "and one of them is the oversupply of specialists. Locations are difficult to find. The fact that . a town has good hospital facilities does not mean that it would be a good town for a young surgeon. Private hospitals usually serve the public well but they work a hardship on a young surgean." Mr. Brock mann says that there is a growing demand for medical doctors, . and he advises medical students to wait un til v their hospital interneship before considering surgery as a profession. "A doctor must give his life up to his . work," said Mr. Brockmann. His family has to also adjust itself to his mode of living. For this reason a doctor is1 very happy when he can get an afternoon or a day off with his family, and he usually takes moie interest in his home life than the average man. Philological Club Holds Last Meeting The final meeting of the Philologi cal Club for this year was held Tues day evening at 7:30 p. m. in theJPar ish House of the Episcopal Church at which Mr. Leon ; Radoff presented a paper on the "Renaissance Attitude toward the Middle Ages."

The Dialectic Senate, one of the two literary societies at the University, .1 T i 1 i 1 if .1 ' 1 1 dedicated its new hall in the recently remodeled New West building here Tuesday night with Solicitor W. B. Umstead, of, Durham as the chief speaker. The ceremony was presided over by L. A. Crowell of Lincolnton, atcing president. Taylor Bledsoe of Asheville introduced Mr. Umstead, who is a University alumnus and who was prominent in literary society work and other undergraduate activities during his undergraduate days. . "I would like to hold up before you three men who have had such a phil osophy that they believed that to fail to serve was to waste life," the speak er said. "These men are the late Ed ward Kidder Graham, who was pres ident of the University; Dr. Harry W. Chase, who is now president; and Prof. Frank Porter Graham, a mem ber; of the f acultyT I wish - to com mend these xmen to you as worthy ex amples to be followed. "President Graham had one of the finest analytical minds I have ever known, he was an idealist who could make his ideals materialize, and a man loved by all those who came in con tact with him. Dr.. Chase came into the presidency of this University at a lime that would have been trying to any man. A man with less courage than his would not have tackled the job, and a man with less ability would have failed. Professor Graham is per haps known by more University men today thanxany man in the state. By Tiis personality and character he has entwined himself into the hearts of thousands' who have been students here. "There is something that these men have in common. That something is the fact that they have lived to serve others. Students have left here to forget everything they learned in the classroom but to remember a contact with one of these men." ' Mr. Umstead also pointed out the part thafa literary society may have in making a man a well rounded col lege product. "Whether talking to one man or to a multitude, the abil ity to think aloud means as much to day as it ever did," he said. "The time will never come when men will not be moved by a speaker who be lieves in .a principle and who- backs that belief with zeal, intellect, and the ability to speak." Grumman Attends' v .
