JL Pase Four THE DAILY TAXI XKEL Friday,. February Tf 1930 RESEARCH: VCHIt IS DISCUSSED' AT Members of Faculty and Viators Present dutlin Of Studied N Before Fraternity, At the "meeting of Sigma Xi, national research fraternity, held last Tuesday evening, brief outlines of research work were presented by two doctors from outside the University arid by four members of the faculty of the school of medicine. Dr. Davison of the school of medicine of Duke University, Dr. Carrington of Rainey hos pital, Burlington, arid Doctors . MacNider, George, McPherson arid Brooks of the University faculty told of their recent work. Dr. Davison told of his work to determine whether Northern ers are more susceptible to yel low fever than' are Southerners. His cpnclusions were that North erners are less susceptible to the disease, but that cases in North Carolina are less virulent than those further north. Dr. Carrington described his recent research work in obstet rics and told of a case of bringT ing about the cure of a patient suffering from a ruptured dia phram. Dr. MacNider explained his later research work on Bright's disease and chronic nephritis, in which he used dogs as experi mental animals. He also told of studies made of pregnancy taxemias. Dr. McPherson told of studies in pusforming bacteria, the or ganisms of secondary infection. Dr. George reported on re search conducted with Mr. Brown and others conducted with Mr. Rose. Dr. Brooks described studies made on the structure of choles terol and argesterol and the re lation of these to vitamin B. In addition to this he told of a recently published study of the protein consumption of medical students. This study was made simultaneously at Northwestern University, Tulane and the Uni versity of North Carolina, in an effort to determine whether tem perature had any bearing on protein consumption. The re sults of this study showed that protein consumption was appar ently not affected by temperature. Rabbi Wise Says Chapel Hilt Bulwark Southern Liberalism "We of the North think of Chapel HiU V as one of, the few bulwarks of southern liberalism - a reasoned liberalism,'' not a wild radicalism. . I regret that so many of tHe faculty members were' not present to face me' said Rabbi Wise, eminent; pub licist, lecturer, and founder of the Zionist Organization of America in an interview yester day. : " ' " ' "We Northerners," he de clared, "consider Chapel Hill the seat of one of the most signiii cant universities in the nation and I am delighted to have been able to pay you a visit at last. I hope I shall again have an op portunity . to visit Chapel ! Hill and the sunny south, which to day is not so sunny." . " ; Rabbi Wise's lecture at the Methodist church Tuesday night was on the subject of "My Vision of America:". 7' My" vision' of America," he said, "is the vision of a foreign born American. Foreign, my friends, but not alien. You do not know how hurtful is the use of the word "alien." It is an indication of the dubiety, hostility and indif ference with which the foreign er is treated. Foreigners are not 'things.' They are not cases to be solicitous over. You can't help a man by treating him as a problem. "A man is not an American because he has touched the soil of America nor because he was born there but because the soul of America has touched him. "My vision of America is the vision of a land wherein there shall be a reasoned conception of Truth." t v - , Dr. Wise then related the in cident of his conversation with a Boston blue-blood. "The man told me, with humble pride in his voice, that . his great-grandfather .had been a signer of the Declaration of Independence. So I answered that my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather had written the Decalogue, "The Bible, both the old. and new testaments, except for one or two epistles, was written by a Jew. The Asiatic world lives on the fruits of the life work of my people. One of the great est treasures of the spiritual world, the Shepherd's Psalm, was written by a Jew. One of my fathers found that written in his soul. Yet some people tell me that because I am a Jew I cannot become completely, wholly ah American. "Remember, my friends, that it 'is J riot safe to ask a man to change his faith. A Jew an chored in his faith is a potential asset to the republic, but a Jew who forsakes his spiritual and racial anchorage bodes no good to our spiritual life. Don't try to wean him arid win him from his ancient moorings. If you would help the foreigner, Slav, Chezk, Teuton, Jew, Celt and all the rest, instead of trying to make him ashamed of being a foreigner, evoke from his spirit a noble and enriching loyalty. "My vision of America is the vision of a land in which there shall be brotherly love toward one another." The lecture was well attended by townspeople and students a fitting tribute to his fame and an indication of the respect the world accords him. Hillsboro Student Winner in Contest Fraternity Property Not in Tax Sale List -The town of Chapel Hill, ac cording to John Foushee, city manager, will soon begin the sale of property upon which tax liens were levied in September, 1928. Y The property involved in these liens for assessments and taxes amounted tO' $31,000 at the time of the lienV ; Much of, this has been redeemed, how ever, by owners who have paid the penalty of 1 per" cent per month provided by law for the first year, and 2-3 per cent for the next half year, after which time sale of the property must be completed, according to a new state statute. . There is no fraternity pro perty involved in this amount, which indicates a good financial condition of local fraternities generally during this period. Ordinarily there are several pieces of real estate owned by fraternities upon which taxes are not paid on time. DR. KNIGHT. TO SPEAK TO SCHOOI ASSOCIATION Professor Edgar. W. Knight of the school of education left yesterday afternoon for Clarks burg, W. Va., where he will de liver two addresses before the West Virginia State Teachers' Association. Dr. Knight will return to Chapel Hill tomorrow. ! Sariiuel -Lockhart, represent ing ' the Hillsboro high school, was elected Wednesday af ternoon to represent Orange county in the American Legion oratorical contest on the ' sub ject, "Our Flag." Raymond Andrews of Carrboro won sec ond place. The county elimination con test was given as a part of a public patriotic program at the Hillsboro school on Wednesday. Paul Robertson, commander of the local post, Owen Robertson of Hillsboro, and E. R. Rankin of the University extension division and county chairman of the contest, made up the board of judges. To the winner a prize of $10 was given by the Chapel Hill post, and to runner-up an award of , $5. In addition, Lockhart, by virtue of his victory, will be eligible for the district elimina tion contest to be held in Reids ville. on February 14, for a prize of $25, a gift of Julian Price of Greensboro. The winner in the district competition will speak in .the state finals. To the suc cessful speaker in this contest a gold medal and a prize of $50 will be awarded. is another powerful incentive to research. . Research Through Publications Co-ordinate with the work of the press in giving to the out side world the results of the study and the laboratory work ers are the official publications sponsored by special groups: '.The Journal of the Elisha Mit chell Society," the publications of the North Carolina" Histori cal Society, "The North Cajolina Law Review," and "Studies in Philogy",all foster and spread information of interest to spe cial readers. Recently paid the high com plement of being called "the leader in the new research move ment in the South," the Uni versity has presented in this booklet , what would seem to be conclusive evidence that the tri bute was not unmerited. If volume of research means anything, it would seem that Dr. F. A. Ogg, professor of political science in the University of Wis consinfor it was he who paid the University the compliment, in a survey of American re search he did for the American Council of Learned Societies was well justified in his ap praisal. ' Or if quality of research be considered, a glance at the sort of projects being done would seem to be equally impressive. Incidentally, the University is the only institution in the country that summarizes the re sults of . its research through publication in this form, The material for the booklet is as sembled by the Graduate school, of which Dr. James F. Royster is dean. - "By common agreement," Dr. Ogg said in his survey, which was published in a book entitled Research Into- the - Humanities! and Social Science," "the leader-! ship in the new research move ment in the South is traceable to one institution, and to certain men and women in. it, namely the University of North Caro lina." 1 "The explanation of this lead ership," he goes on to say, "seems to lie m an unusually keen appreciation of the, possi bilities of service to the people of the state, in the presence of the faculty of many vigorous, ambitious, and productive scho lars, and in the liberal support of research interests by admin istrative authorities facilitated, no doubt, by the notable econo mic and industrial development which the state has of late ex perienced." Further statistical evidence back of tha high rating given the University by the American Council of Learned Societies may be drawn from the report of Dean Royster of the . Gradu ate schools This report shows that the 224 graduate students enrolled last year came from 20 different states (9 of , them above the Mason-Dixon line) and from 8(X different colleges ana universities, in, iyiy tnere were only 40 graduate students enrolled in the University. ; .
