how many of us have ridden through

The Tar Heel
Goes Visiting
... . f
Six thousand copies of this issue
of the Tar' Heel will be distributed
to high school students throughout the
state to serve as an introduction to
the University. In the columns' of
the paper are stories of all our cam
pus activities of athletes, of de
bating, of publication work, of Play
making, of the Glee Club and Orches
tra, and of the Y. M. C. A. Here the
students of various North Carolina
high schools may get an idea of just
what goes on at the University aside
from the regular academic work.
This is our last issue of he year
and we are glad to share it with those
who may next year be a part of our
student body. And next year, when
the Tar Heel makes its appearance
again, it will be in the form of a
daily newspaper, with plenty of room :
to recount all the happenings of the '
campus and with places on the staff
for men who are interested in doing
journalistic work. . v
If this is to be our last visit to the
campus, it is a pleasure for us to ex
tend that farewell visit so as to in
clude the high schools of the state and
to leave this copy of the paper as a
calling card.
Bywords Along the .
Byways of Education
After leaving college we may soon
forget chemical formulas, French
verbs, historical dates, and English
poetry. Definite blocks of learning
have a habit of being rapidly dis
missed. But there are two things we
shall very likely carry with us.
The first is some general idea of
education. True, we may not have a
perfectly clearcut conception of what
it's all about; but at least at the end
of four years we must have gained
some inkling of what it means to start
out along educational lines. The .im
petus has been given, and after col
lege days are past, this process of
education may continue. We . have
learned that education is not a four
year period of being taught; it is a
lifetime job of self-development.
That general theory is one thing
we shall remember. The other con
sists of certain catch phrases retain
ed in the corner of the mind, phrases
that will inevitably pop up at the
suitable moment. One of them will
be Collier Cobb's classic "We are what
we are because we are where we are."
Twenty years from now, unless we
are especially interested in science, we
shall probably have forgotten the
scientific laws of ; environment but
that statement of Collier Cobb's will
come to mind.
Likewise, when we are confronted
with some particularly difficult prob
lem in our lives, the philosophical
theories learned in college may not be
remembered; but like a flash will
come Horace Williams' admonition:
"If you want to work out the right
solution to any problem, you must con
sider the individual ythe particular,
and the universal, and give each its
due."
Or there are two of Oscar Coffin's
favorites: "You have to do What you
hate nine-tenths of the time to get to
do what you like the other tenth" and
"Craftsmanship is the important
thing."
To the Playmakers Prof . Koch may
be best known for his curtain speech
sentence: "Well, folks, we're here and
we're glad to be' here;" but those who
have had work under him will recall
this one: "For the real drama of life
we must get close to the soil."
Each professor has his fad; and
each will be remembered longest for
the saying or the idea which is stamp
ed with his individuality. When we
think of Archibald Henderson, we
think of relativity; of Frank Graham,
the tracing of developments and rela
tionships; Addison Hibbard, the idea
of tolerance; of R. D. W. Connor, .the
East-West friction in North Caro
lina; of Paul Green, a lyrical quality
of doubt.
By their bywords shall we remem
ber them.
A Loss To
The University
The announcement that Parker H.
Daggett, head of the department of
Electrical Engineering, has accepted
a position in Rutgers University as
dean of the College of Engineering
comes as a distinct blow to the Uni
versity. Especially is the loss felt,
following so closely the declaration by
Paul John Weaver that he is to go
to Cornell next year.
Professor Daggett has been a pro
minent figure on the campus during
his nineteen year stay here and has
achieved a national reputation as an
authority in his field. He came here
as a young man from the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company to
become an associate professor of
electrical engineering. . Since that
time he has gradually risen to the
high position he now holds. He has
been the recipient of numerous dis
tinguished offices and honors in na
tional and state organizations of en
gineers. Perhaps Professor Daggett is bet
ter known to those outside of the En
gineering school as the composer of
the musical scores for several Wigue
and Masque productions. His versa
tility and sincere personality have en
deared him to all. He is a rare type
of faculty member, a well - t rounded
man, embodying the ideal of versa
tility sought by so many students.
It seems inevitable that the Uni
versity suffer losses such as this
every now and then. Professor Dag
gett no doubt feels that he cannot af
ford to turn down the Rutgers offer
even at the expense of leaving Chapel
Hill. The same thing happened in the
case of Dr. Edwin Greenlaw. Dr.
Chase is a notable exception. Maybe
the University in time to come will be
enabled to hold its worth wnile facul
ty members.

Education In
A Police Court
Now that the time has al
most come for the closing of another
academic year, it would not be amiss
to pause a moment and take up a
figurative notch in the educational
belt, and see if this business of going
to college is really worth while.
That familiar phrase, "Preparation
for the Battle of Life" will not be used
here, however. We are after the
more practical phase of the question,
and we find an excellent answer and
example in a news item in the daily
of the University of Kansas.
A student of that institution, it
seems ,was speeding in what could
not have been the familiar campus
flivver, but a real automobile. He ex
ceeded the limit, was caught, and
brought before the local magistrate
or, as the "Kansan" so gently puts
it, he was "introduced to the police
judge."
The next step in the story could be
foretold by any contemporary college
student if given half a chance the
culprit was fined, but of course did
not have the necessary money. The
judge questioned his prisoner and
found that he was a major in Jour
nalism. He thereupon expressed a
desire to learn more about the evils
of speeding, and ordering the -student
to write an essay then and there upon
that dashing subject. A typewriter
was found, and the order complied
with. The judge accepted the essay
in lieu of the usual $10 fine, and the
journalism student went forth upon
his merry way.
We started out to say something ap
propriate to the season about the
value of education. We quoted this
story of the Kansas student to point
a moral, but we've conveniently for
gotten the moral, so you may supply
your own. As for us, we'll be busy
registering for several courses in
Journalism next year. , . -

were curtly, even abruptly presented;
but after that it was casually an
nounced that all those whose names
had been read out might remain after
the meeting and come up and scramble
for their certificates. (Such chaos re
sulted that it was rumored that a
prominent politician and debater
made off with the Patterson Award!).
The one time in the year when awards
for all campus activities are to be
presented to deserving sons should be
made a more impressive ceremony,
WTio wants to hear a list of names
of men known to be varsity letter
men read out, and the announcement
made that the owners of the names
may remain7 afterwards and, get a
certificate ?
For some reason, better known to
the Athletic Association, N.C. Mono
gram sweaters are never awarded un
til several months after the season is
over. If there is any necessity for
the delay, or any advantage to be
gained by delaying the action, why
could not Awards Night be the time
for the general presentation? - The
letters and sweaters should surely be
given sometime during the . year in
which they are won. If not imme
diately after the season, which is
apparently the logical time, let it be
on Awards Night, in order that that
occasion may be an occasion and not a
Band rehearsal.
As President Farris said, Awards
Night should be one of the biggest
events of the school year. It should
be, but it isn't. If it is to be a big
night, it should be the time when ac
tual awards are anounced and pre
sented to the .winners. Then perhaps
somebody would come to the cere
mony. Some inducement must be of
fered if Awards Night is to continue.
We may not always have such an ac
commodating Band.

THIS AWARDS NIGHT BUSINESS
Hurrah for the Band!
I always like bands; especially
when they have parades attached to
them. And if it hadn't been for the
Band last Monday night there
wouldn't have been any Awards
Night. Not that anybody would have
noticed the difference. At 8:20, when
the Band was playing outside, there
was nobody in Memorial Hall but the
worried President of an absent Stu
dent Body. At 8:30 the audience
within the hall was composed of one
Band and four small boys who had
heard the music. Then there strag
gled in an old gentleman accompanied
by two ladies, a professor or so, and
some boys who had room-mates in
the Band. Of course, there were some
few athletes and scholars present,
and even some debaters, managers,
editors, etc., who came to get their
awards, but they ought not to count.
The whole Student Body should have
been there, but instead the crowd was
so small that President Farris persist
ed in introducing the audience to the
speakers instead of the reverse form
of accomplishing this necessary duty.
But, then, everybody knew everybody
there that night anyway and didn't
care about such, details.
Awards Night was a great success
except for the fact that nobody was
there and nothing happened. It is
true that two very good talks were
made; many long lists of names were
read; and four awards, including one
of the highest honors of the campus,

Regular Tea Held
In Spencer Hall
Wednesday afternoon . from four-
thirty to six the Woman's Association
of the University had its usual tea
at Spencer Hall. The hall was decorat
ed beautifully with glowing candles
and flowers. Mrs. Lee and Miss Mar
garet Broadu3 presided over the tea
table, both proving delightful hostes
ses. , -
During the evening there were
many visitors, among whom were re
latives and friends of Miss Broadus
and friends of Mrs. "Lee in addition
to the large number of students. .
This tea completes the series of
teas, that have been given throughout
the past year by the Woman's Association.
The Pines is the favorite rendezvous for Club Gatherings,
Bridge Luncheons and Fraternity get-togethers. We solicit this
kind of patronage, feeling certain that everyone will be highly
pleased. Mrs. Vickers has the happy faculty for assisting in the
preparation for such functions and will cheerfully render her as
sistance to make such gatherings a huge success. For those as
sociations and organizations which like to have dancing as a
feature of their program we offer our dance floor. For a simple
luncheon or a banquet, The Pines solves the problem.
