After listening to the reminiscences of returned alumni during , the past few days, we have come to tne con clusion that it is not the "book larnin" that they recall in after years nor is it even the exciting football games of their college days. The predominant note m every speech has been the deep impression made by former teachers. When alumni who today are playing promi nent parts in the life of the state be gin to recall their four years spent Senior Coeds Upset as to What to Wear Under Robes at Exercises (BY ONE OF US) Each year at Carolina the crop of co-eds gets younger and 'better (on the eyes) and this year, the crop is unusually" good, from the social point of view whoopee ! more good Fisher and Humming Bird. - And each year that element of the women students which is perplexed by the .senior parade is increased. This year the problem is the com mon possession of them all, for most all of them believe in a free display of native talent at least. I fail to find any "Little Women" among the ranks, (in respect to length). They are all free .thinkers, if you ask me of course excluding those dresses of some one's that are always "droopy" in the back. What's the proper thing to wear underneath one's cap and gown that's the question. The "early co eds" simply wore, their ordinary dresses, but "them days are gone for ever" when a dress was as long as a robe. The Nineteen Hundred and Twenty Nine Co-ed at the University of North Carolina can't just wear any one of her dresses, at least, that is, if she has any sense of discretion. And each one of the fifteen -seniors answer this question in a different at the University, the first thing we,way fot one thing, the elite one in hear is always the names of such men as Battle, Graham, Hume, Williams, and Alderman. It seems to be not the Latin or the math or the history that makes the lasting impression but the characters of the men who taught these subjects. And today, when the University has grown to such vast proportions that the graduating class is larger than the entire student body of a few years ago, we must take care not to lose the personal touch between profes sor arid student. We see what it is that the alumni remember most clear ly and cherish tenderly from all their college memories. Then let us young er graduates and undergraduates make it a point to cultivate the friendships of our professors and gain the great est possible benefit from coming in contact with them The Alumni Association - Eighty-six years ago the Univer sity's General Alumni Association was organized at a commencement meet ing in Gerrard Hall. Governor John M. Morehead, a member of the Class of 1817, was elected first president. It continued as a working organi zation until the interruption of the Civil War when, along with the Uni versity, it fell first into limited activi ty and finally to pieces. ' But it had built the nucleus of an alumni sentiment, and a consciousness of alumni powef for the welfare of the higher education of the state that was to carry over beyond the death of the former . organization. Aifd it was in a gathering of seventy-five University alumni most of these active in the old association in the Senate Chamber in Raleigh in 187 which, after many failures and much delay, paved the direct way for the reopening of the University. And since that day", in some form or other, there has been maintained a . close identity between the alumni of this University capable of action and achievement for the higher welfare of the state, although not always exist ing as a continuing organization. For the roots of alumni devotion go deeper than the formalities of any organiza tion. . , But, as the present senior class goes from Chapel Hill, with steps quickened by the consciousness of their common attachment and devo tion and with aspirations or the insti tution's future enlarged because of common ideals, there is offered for your work in furthering the Univer sity of- North Carolina and the cause .for which it stands effective alumni organizations which are at your dis posal. Some of its activities are new and as yet without success. The situations and the needs which they tend to serve are old and never new to give to the succeeding generation an educational opportunity which is superior to those of the past, . D. L. G their midst and I'm not calling any names says that by all means "the thing to wear is a dark tailored dress in keeping with the severity of the robe and the dignity of the occasion and any kind of shoes that match the dress." But lo, confusion stalks in their midst when an aspirant to the speaker's fame answers her back, "Oh, no ! Any kind of shoes except low heel ones would be out of place it's the same as classes after all, you know." Mrs. Stacy's henchman thinks any simple little dress will "be in, keep ing," while another lady is afraid that she won't be recognized if she doesn't wear a tight belt around her waist with her robe. ;The rough rider in. the feminine crew announces iiatly that what other people do she doesn't care, be cause she is going to wear her riding habit underneath her robe because these four years have been a helluver ride for her. At the rehearsal yesterday after noon for the senior parade, Dr. ChaTlie, threw a "bomb into the femi nine circle by reminding the girls that a robe is a robe (and hence a thing which is likely to fly out at all angles) and not a dress and kindly to use good taste and dress accordingly. The girlls say that just because he is Chief Marshal, Dr. Charlie thinks he can boss them and they are going to show him. Two of them have adopted the slogan of "We Wear Underwear -only!" and they are trying to bor row some from Victorian hangers-on. The inevitable late comer among them is desperate for fear that she won't wake up in time Monday to get dressed and get over there and "would it be just horrible if I went over with just my pajamas on under neath my robe--I never get excited and faint, so no one will know Jhe difference?" "Oh, what's the use? What to wear and what not to wear it's such a mess any way if only people would be sensible like Louis Graves and be shock proof! An Ear Full I stopped mine ears - For they were full By J. C WILLIAMS In honor of the OLD GRADS do we print this column in black ink. The quickest way to start a rumor in these parts is to wear a bandage around your head. A spool of thread was unknown 125 years ago. Lava rarely Jlovr as much as a mile an hour. v . Now that the OLD GRADS and the BABY GRADS have begun to ex change views we note, not without considerable chagrin, that the old, old subject of WOMEN is again para mount. - The barest idea that we can think of is "telling the naked truth." "Declining sheep prices" headlines the Kansas City Star. And this in the face of so many college gradua tion exercises! My word! University's Summer Scnool Oldest in America, to Begin June 13 With Strong Faculty Continued from page one) far as to hail its , establishment as "the greatest event Jn the history of North Carolina in the past one hun dred years." There were many who uttered similar sentiments, and not the least ' of these was the famous Governor Vance, who thought it could "electrify the State from Chero kee to Currituck." Dean N. W. Walker, who has been directing the Summer . School since 1908, thinks there is even greater chance for service in the future, and every preparation is being made this year to extend the Summer School's sphere of influence and to strengthen its faculty and curriculum. s. Strong Faculty This Year This year's faculty is regarded as one of the largest and strongest ever secured. One hundred and four pro fessors are from the regular Univer sity faculty and 29 others are from outstanding institutions over the country. The first session will last from June 13 to July 23, and the second session from July 24 to August 30. Work will be .offered in three divi sions. The College Division will carry credit toward graduation. The Grad uate Division will be for students seeking advanced degrees. The-Divi- sion of t Elementary Education is de signed for those desiring training and degrees in elementary education. Much of the popularity of the school is due to the fact that teachers may do work toward regular or gradu ate University degrees and raise their certification standards at the same time. To Offer 245 Courses A total of 245 courses will be offer ed in 23 departments, and special em phasis will be laid on the courses in he x School of Education, since the majority of the Summer School en rolment is made up of those who are teachers and those intending to teach. Eleven University dormitories have been set aside for the women stu dents, three others and the fraternity houses will take care of the men stu dents, another will be given over to married couples, and still another will house the men graduate students. The social side has not been neg lected. "A varied but balanced pror gram- of instruction, entertainment and social activities has been provided for each term, including special lec tures, music recitals, concerts, plays, dances, and so on. , It is interesting to not the great growth and expansion of the Summer School under Dean Walker's director ship. He was placed in control in 1908. That summer the school lasted six weeks. There were nine teachers offering 16 courses in nine depart ments. There were 53 students. Growth of the School The school 4his year will last twice as long. It will have a faculty of 133. and will offer 245 courses in 23 departments and three divisions. And from the advance registrations there will be an enrolment very near the 2,656 of last summer.. It is a far call from the first Sum mer School of 1877, established by Kemp P. Battle to the present Sum mer School. The first Summer School was es tablished in 1877 by an act of the General Assembly to teach and train "young men of the white race" for teachers. There was an enrolment of 238, which was exceptional at that time. The- University extended the privileges to women, and the state concurring, widened its service great ly. Prof. John H. Ladd, of Vermont, a graduate of Brown University, was the first superintendent, although President Kemp P. Battle of the Uni versity was in general charge. , On Solid Basis Now The Summer School has, in ,i act, come to be an integral part, of the University's regular work and is fast approaching the time when it will be one o fthe University's regular quar ters. It is almost that now, notwith standing the fact that -it is operated on a separate budget, and, in some respects j as a separate ! unit. Its claim to being the first summer school for teachers is . undisputed though Inot so widely known. The records do show that before 1877 there were here and there special types of summer schools, such,' for in stances, as one for botanists estab- ished by Prof. Louis Agassiz of Har vard at Buzzard's Bay in the early seventies, and another for biologists at Wood's Hole, Mass. - But so far as Prof essor Walker and former, di rectors have been able to learn, the first summer school for teachers, known in those days as the "summer normal," was established here at the University of North Carolina in 1877. Jobs Found for University Men It occurs to use that most women are like a hat. A guy likes to flash a good-looking one to impress his friends, but he is most likely to be come attached to some old remnant that will make him feel comfortable. The Tragedy The good professor called his cow "Zephyr" She seemed such an amiable hephyr. When, the professor drew near She kicked off his ear And now the old fellow's much dephyr. Before marriage women habitually want tenderness. Shortly after mar riage, however, they are satisfied with legal tender. When we reach home we expect our old man to greet us in some such man ner as this: "Well, son, in the lan guage of the poet 'You've played Hell'." The proper question to ask the fra ternity man-is not "Have you gotten your pin yet?" but "Have you.got- ten it back yet 7" Which reminds us that all women have taking ways. - The other day a guy confided in us that he was a candidate for the de e-ree of "Doctor of Stupidity." All things considered, we think our friend is deserving of the honor. Quoth a visitor to our old man: "Now that your son has gotten his diploma from the University I know he is the IDOL of the family. Quoth our old man to the visitor: "Yes, he has been IDLE for twentyr one years now." In order to facilitate traffic on the campus this summer we suggest that NO PARKING signs be erected "in the arboretum. ; Speaking of ball-faced lies, we sub mit the one the co-eds tell about hav ing, to stay at home" and study. Said the co-ed to the Freshman: "Let conscience be your guide." Said the Freshman to the co-ed: "Experience needs no guide." (Continued from page one) Ray. W. Ballard, '29, New York Tel. Co.; I. M.

Jiivery year the JtJureau writes a "follow-up" letter to each man placed and to his employer. The idea is to determine whether or not the man has become satisfactorily adjusted to his work. If it. seems advisable, the Bureau tries to help him work out 4 - . some more satisfactory arrangement. In this way, it is possible to study the results of the work done and to pro fit by past mistakes." The Bureau of Vocational Infor mation is a part of the office of the Dean of Students.
