TAYLOR SOCIETY MEETING j MONDAY EVENING I BINGHAM HALL - 7 P. M. j TAYLOR SOCIETY MEETING MONDAY EVENING BINGHAM HALL - 7 P. IL mi r$r$ VOLUME XXXVIII CONEY SCHEDULED TO SPEAR BEFORE TAYLOR SOCIETY Assistant Librarian To Tell Group Of Scientific Library v . Management Monday. Donald Coney, assistant' libra rian of the University, will speak before the local student branch of the Taylor Society on "Libra ries and Scientific Management" tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock in room 103 Bingham hall. In his talk Mr. Coney, who has been connected with library work for ten years, will discuss the place of scientific manage ment in educational institutions as well as the f unctionalized or ganization of libraries and stan dardization of library methods and personnel. " The field which Mr. Coney will treat is one in which no organ ized work has been done, al though there has been activity in the scientific management of libraries since the beginning of the scientific management move ment. The discussion which Mr. Coney will present Monday will be very general, for it is im possible to treat in an hour a subject on which he states an entire volume could be written. The field of scientific library management is one which offers almost limitless opportunity, for as yet the field has scarcely been touched. Mr. Coney, who has been con nected with library work for ten years, was with the library at the University of Michigan for several years and was then libra rian at the University of Mary land before coming to Carolina a year and a half ago. The speaker has been actively interested in the subject of sci entific library management, and is well qualified to speak on the subject which he will discuss tomorrow. The Taylor Society, of which the local organization is a stu dent branch, is an international organization for the promotion of the art and science of scien tific management and adminis tration, and as such the local group has held a series of meet ings during the year at which faculty members , and outside speakers have presented sub jects related to scientific man agement. The meetings of the society are open to the public, and the officers of the group extend an invitation to any. who may be interested in hearing Mr. Coney. Frosh Council Banquet The freshman friendship council will meet at an annual banquet tomorrow, night in the basement room of the Methodist church at 6 :30.

TTI 'Major William Cain, one of the state's grand old men, has threatened to enter into a friendly law suit against Louis Graves, editor of the famous Chapel Hill Weekly. The Major alleges that Edi tor Graves heaped libel upon him by referring to his age as 86. The Major avers that he is only 83, and that three years makes a whale of a lot of dif ference with a man who is still in the market for matrimony. The Major has never married, but, says he, "a man never gets toxoid for marriage, and I still consider myself an eligible bach elor." The Cain birthday was cele brated Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Nash gave a din ner party for him at their home, and invited many of his close friends in for the feast. Years and honors sit lightly upon Major Cain, who was for merly head of the department, and is now professor emeritus, of mathematics in the Univer sity. He has a keen intellect, a kind heart and an intense inter est in the problems of his profession. EPISCOPAL TEAS COME TO CLOSE Parish House Entertainments Have Brought Students and Faculty Closer Together. The curtain will ring down on one of the most successful ac tivities pf the year this after noon at 4:30 o'clock when the last tea of the quarter will be held in the Episcopal parish house. Made possible through contri butions from the many Episco pal women's organizations in the state, these affairs have be come widely known as valuable contributions to the student life here. They have not only served to furnish a period of wholesome entertainment for student rec reation, but, in addition, have offered occasion for meetings of faculty and students which would not have otherwise been possible. Thus, the 'student teas have become a unique and important) aaaiuon to xne social me oi xne University community. 1 1 J J il 1 !' 11 I Rev. A. S.

Another, generous gift has been added to the already long list of benefactions of the Kenan family, -7 Mrs. Graham Kenan has,, recently given $25,000 to the University to be used for the southern .collection of historical material, whfch has been estab lished at the University. The Kenans have been out standing in their generosity to the University. Back in 1905 Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, who was Mary Lily Kenan before her marriage, gave to the library a fund to be used in the collec tion of books and material re lating to the Civil War. This collection is known as the Kenan Collection of Civil War Books. At her death Mrs. Flagler, then Mrs. Robert Bingham, left to the University a fund of a mil lion and a1 half dollars for the establishment of the Kenan pro fessorships. Soon after the World War Mrs. Graham Kenan established the Graham Kenan Fellowship in Philosophy in memory of her husband,, and in the spring of 1927 William Rand Kenan gave to the University, in memory of his father and mother, the mag nificent stadium which was com pleted in the fall of ..that year. The '"recent gift enables the University to carry on with much more effectiveness its pro gram for the collection of manu scripts and documents relating to the history of the south. PHI TO DISCUSS RECENT CUT IN APPROPRIATIONS ' The Phi Assembly at its regu ar session Tuesday night, will discuss the present situation in regard to the cut in the appro priations for the University. The bill as submitted is as follows: "Resolved, That the legislature of North Carolina should be called upon to support its insti- tutions in the proper manner." This question has been widely discussed since the appropria tions to the University have been cut recently to the amount of $170,000 yearly. The Assembly in its last meet ing rejected by a large majority a bill submitted by Representa tive Nazareno of the Philippine Islands for . immediate indepen dence of the Philippines. The rejection of this measure called forth the criticism from the Filipino that the Phi de feated the measure due to false statements submitted by Repre sentatives Stanley, Kelly, Jack son and Hoobgood. At the com ing meeting Representative Naz areno will probably submit his criticisms to the Assembly. This will undoubtedly call forth a de fense of the stand taken by the representatives. 1 . Debate Council The old and new debate councils will meet together Monday night at 7:30 in 210 Murphey hall. The o!d cssa cil will officially turn over the reins of office to the new members. Immediately f bel lowing, the new council will choose a president.
