MELODRAMA OF
EIGHTIES "TO BE
PRODUCED HERE
Company Of Faculty And Uni
versity Persons To Produce
Play May 2 and 3.
The "Imperial Stock Com
pany," a dramatic organization
made up ' of faculty members,
will soon present "Thorns and
Orange Blossoms," which will
be produced for the poor relief
in Orange County. The-group
has been working for six weeks
on this play in their "studio"
which is an old livery stable in
Carrboro. The play will be pre
sented in the Playmakers The
atre next Friday and Saturday
May 2 and 3, at 8 o'clock in the
evening. "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" is a play dramatized
from the -novel of the same
name written by Bertha M. Clay.
The production of this play
in Chapel Hill is similar to the
work which Christopher Morley
has been doing in Hoboken, N.
J., where he has been presenting
the "Black Crook,": and other
plays, and is similar to what is
being done in London. It is a
very sophisticated melodrama
of the English nobility of . the
'90's. When the play was pre
sented at that time, it was tak
en seriously and was very; pop
ular. In all, it proves very in
teresting work to the producers
and will be very enjoyable to
those who see it.
The story is that of a son of
a high noble family who falls
in love with a poor girl of lower
society, and marries her. He
tries to bring her into his home,
Rywers Well, which is a beau
tiful mansion, but the Dowager
Lady Rywers practically runs
her out of the house. It is a
struggle of a proud lady of high
society with a poor girl of lower
caste. The girl goes out into
the world and meets hunger, di
sease, a snow-storm, the bread
line, and other accompaniments
of poverty. All through the
play this young wife is pursued
by the villian, Oscar Carstone,
which is played by Mr. Howard
Mumford Jones., This villian's
prof erred help is but ruin in dis
guise. The birth of a little baby
under soul-moving circumstanc
es finallv helns to break the
proud spirit of the Dowager
Lady Rywers.
There will be music and cir
ens novelties between the acts
which will all help in the senti
mentality. A Barbers' Quartet
will sing, there will be a worn
en's duet which will sing "The
Bicycle Built . for Two," and
some selections will be given on
mouth organs. It will all picture
in a most amusing and pleasant
manner the English and Ameri
osm stsio-P nf thft '80 S and IS
bound to be interesting, to all

Tomorrow Chase Will Have

Monday Is Tenth Anniversary of Chase's Inauguration as Presi
'dent On April 28, 1920; Lowell of Harvard, Hibben of
Princeton, and Dr. Mann of War Department
Among Distinguished Witnesses.
o
(By Chafaes G. Rose, Jr.)
On April 28, 1920, one of the
most progressive decades in the
history of the University had
its beginning. It was on that
day in Memorial hall that Dr.
Harry Woodburn Chase was in
augurated President of the Uni
versity of North Carolina before
approximately 2000 people.
People had journeyed from
all over the state ; representa
tives were present from prac
tically every university and col
lege in the south; all had gath
ered in Memorial hall to witness
the inauguration of the ninth
president , of the University of
North Carolina.
Dr. Chase repeated his oath
of office after Chief Justice Wal
ter Clark, after which Governor
Thomas W. Bickett presented
the new president with the seal
and charter of the University.
On the platform with Presi
dent Chase were President A.
Lawrence Lowell of Harvard,
President John G. Hibben of
Princeton and Dr. Charles R.
Mann of the war department,
all of whom pledged to the new
president their support.
Following the oath of office,
numerous other speeches were
made, pledging, to President
Chase support in his new office.
Dr. Ivey F. Lewis, speaking for
President Alderman of the Uni
versity of yirginia, pledged the
good wishes of the state univer
sities of the country.
President W L. Poteat of
Wake Fores Vspeakmg for the
colleges in the state, told the
new president that "we pledge
to you the adventure and ro
mance of finding the way of
right in a foggy time and calling
after you the strength and hope
of young North Carolina."

He was inaugurated as head of the

ette of Rockingham, who spoke
as a representative of the 10,000
alumni, and, Dr. Archibald Hen
derson, for the faculty, who
pledged its support to their
former colleague.
X)r. Chase, who had lived in
Chapel Hill since 1910, . was,
prior to his election, dean of the
college of liberal arts and later
chairman of the faculty. Born
in Massachusetts in 1883, he
was graduated from Dartmouth
College in 1904 with the degree
of A. B., and four years later
from the same 'college he re
ceived his M. A. degree. In 1910
he was granted the Ph. D. de
gree at Clark University, where
he was during his last year di
rector 6fa clinic for subnormal
children. " f
Coming to the presidency just
at the time when the University
had begun its expansion, Presi
dent Chase took up the 'work
where the beloved E. K. Graham
had left off. Since that time
much advancement can be noted
in every branch of the Univer
sity. '
In the development of the
physical plant of the University,
eight new dormitories for men
and one for women have been
erected. Saunders, Murphey,
Manning, Venable and Bingham
halls have all been built, besides
the complete renovation of prac
tically every old building on the
campus which has put them in
the class of their modern sister
buildings. Then the beautiful
University library, which was
I dedicated last October, crowned
,the material development of the
past decade.
The University has also made
much advancement in the way
of athletic equipment. The

New Measure Before Under
graduate Faculty Provides
For Still Higher Scholarship.
At a meeting of the under
graduate faculty Friday a mo
tion was introduced stating that
"a student who has attended
college, here or elsewhere, for as
much as one academic year,
must, in order t& continue in the
University any given quarter,
have passed at least one course
the preceding quarter and four
courses in the two preceding
quarters of his residence.
(Courses passed in summer
school, in interpreting this
restriction, are to be ex
cluded.)" This resolution was
presented as a requirement to
be. added to the present regu
lations governing academic eli
gibility for sophomores, juniors
and seniors. Dr. W. Dl Toy,
executive-secretary of the fac
ulty, stated that this motion was
made as a recommendation from
the committee. of deans but that
it had. not been adopted by the
committee or voted upon by the
undergraduate faculty. . "The
faculty is in favor of a move
ment of this nature tending to
ward "higher ' requirements,"
Dean Addison- Hibbard stated
before the meeting. The reso
lution has been referred to the
committee, from which it ori
ginated. " ' r
Dr. Gay made the statement
thatDean W. N. Walker of the
school of education in his de
tailed report on entrance re
quirements of schools over the
entire country emphasized the
fact that the entrance require
ments here belong in the class
of those of universities and col
leges having strict entrance re
quirements and also that the
present requirements of the Uni
versity are very much like those
of the better schools of the
United States. No need was
cited at the meeting for any
change in the present require-:
ments here, since they, compare
very favorably with those of
Harvard, Yale and other insti-.
tutions of higher learning.
"It is a tendency of the un
dergraduate faculty," .Dr. Toy
impressed upon the Tar Heel
reporter, "to make requirements
of good scholarship somewhat
more rigid without being ex
travagant. The comprehensive
examination, above all other ex
aminations on courses and which
is a general quiz that does not
ask mere facts, but which is in tended
to show that a student is
able to correlate his studies in
his major, is an example of this
tendency." Seniors in the col
lege of liberal arts will take,,
their comprehensive examina
tions Wednesday. ' .
The regulation requiring stu
dents to make an average of "C"
on at least half of their courses,
has already been passed and will
go into effect at the beginning
of school next fall.
Tickets For Play
Tickets for the forthcom
ing production of the Imperial
Stock Company to be called

soms" are now on sale at the
Students' Supply Store at one
dollar each. The play will be

dience both Friday and Sat
urday nights of this week.
