Latest .Study Made by Mem

By, R. B. House
The fate of America is tied
up with business. For better or
worse this is a business man's
civilization. Certain able critics
of American life such as Charles
A. Beards J ames , Truslow I
Adams, Harold J. Laski and
Stuart Chase, realizing that
business is in the saddle, set,
themselves to examining our
whole business structure with a
view to its improvement. Their
articles, - appearing in various
periodicals, make stimulating
and interesting reading. But no
one, critical or otherwise, dreams
of; any progress in '.America that
ignores the structure of business
in any particular.'
When we think of college edu
cation, therefore one main
question we ask, Does it make
for success in business? The
answer is, Yes. Some years ago
President Lowell of Harvard
made a study of "Who's Who"
to see if there was any connec
tion between success in college
and success in business. He
found that success in college and
success in business did-go hand
in hand.
How Education Pays
Corroborations of this study
have been appearing ever since.
The latest is "Success in College
and Buiiness'V;''ByT-lfaroId S.
Bridgman of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph company.

More Than Hundred
Education Freshmen
There are 103 freshmen enroll
ed in the school of education, ac
cording to official count. ..For
each individual freshman "the
University has compiled a sheet
showing the score he made on
high ; school intelligence tests,
and also the grades he made on
each subject. This is done with
a view to comparing the grades
made in high school with those
made in college. At the end of
the year the findings will be
turned over to the University

Drs. Bagby, Knight and Jordan Spend Summer Teaching in New
York; Differences in Northern and Southern Students
And Nature of Courses Described.
Last summer three University
profesors, Dr. English Bagby of
the psychology department and
Drs. Jordan and Knight of the
educational department, taught
at the Columbia summer school
in New York. Each tells of his
classes there:
Dr. Bagby taught a course in
psychology of personality. This
course, which involves the dis
cussion of emotional disorders,
becomes more important yearly
as the. number of neurotic cases
mounts rapidly. The neurotic
woman is an important charac
ter, in contemporary literature.
v Dr. Bagby said that practically
all neurotics are women, wealthy
women, that have ho children, or
that leave the care of their child
ren, usually just one child, to the
impersonal care of a governess.
The narrowness ;, and suDerfi
ciaiity of their interests causes
the mental diseases so prevalent
among society wojhen. ,
The class numbered about a
100 regulars and 10 to 15 visitors
daily. The students were older
and more mature than our boys ;
and the Columbians had a dif
ferent reason than we for study
ing psychology. The New York
students were taking it in order
to advance themselves in their
vocations, to learn the technique
of handlings cases of mental
pathology. Our students study
psychology for cultural rea
sons. Dr. Jordan's course, which is
general psychology; N concerns
mental development, the psycho-
logy of teaching and the pro-
cesses of human learning. Dr.
HEAVY RUN MADE
ON' LOAN FUNDS
Two Hundred Students Draw
$12,000 in First Two
Weeks.
The office of dean of students
has already aided students by
loans totaling more than $12,
000, aiding more than two hun
dred students, .according to
figuresannounced yesterday by
F. F. Bradshaw, dean of stu
dents. ' V
Fifty freshmen, forty sopho
mores, forty-eight juniors, forty
three seniors, six law students,
three medical students, three
special, and eight graduate stu
dents make a total of 201 stui
dents who have received loans
in this way.
, The first loan fund was estab
lished iii 1879, four years after
the re-opening of the university,
by Charles F. Deems who had
been an Episcopal minister here.
The gift, of $300, was in memory
of Theodore Disos way Deems,
the son of the donor.
Later, Dr. Deems made ah ad
ditional gift of $400, and in 1881
William H. Vahderbilt contribut
ed $10,000 to the Deems fund
through the original donor. By
1908-09, the fund had more than
doubled in value and the last re
port, in July, 1929, showed it to
have a principal of more than
$80,000.
The second fund established
was the Martin fund, when
Thomas t. Martin of Raleigh,
N. C, donated $7,400 in 1908-09.
Since that time, 13 other funds
have been added making a total
value of. $170,000.
GOLUitlBIA SUT.EIER SCHOOL
Jordan has aid, "Environment,
more than' heredity, shapes our
characters; but science, as yet,
cannot fix the proportion. We
are certain though that there
is such a thing as inherited
structural characteristics ; that
is, what the human animal does
not have to learn, inherited re
flexes." Also, "One-third of the
seriously insane could have been
cured by proper treatment in
childhood." - c
While at Columbia the profes
sor used a text book that he has
written, which he also uses here.
The doctor taught three types of
students there : those training
for teaching, nursing br those in
terested in social work. His
classes,- just asall others, were
"very large, comprising around
175 students. .
. Dr. Knight says that summer
school at Columbia is hot the
makeshift affair : that some
critics claim it to be; this sum
mer school is an educational
center seething with activity arid
intellectual ciiriousity. 14,000
students enrolled there last sum
mer. The school is like a melting
pot of education; different types
come from all parts of the coun
try : "unlicked cub professors"
from the west, sedate depart
ment heads of eastern schools,
fresh bachelors of art from-the
South and superintendents, su
pervisors, principals and teach
ers from public schools. The
students are independent, for
they choose their own teachers
and quickly drop them if their
teachers are unsatisfactory.
DEBATERS HEAR
HORACEflLUAMS
Largest Debate Group in Uni
versity History Attends
, Meeting.
At the first meeting ,of the
debate squad held in Murphey
Hall last night 37 men, the
largest group ever to come out
for debate, heard Dr. Horace
Williams, who was responsible
for Carolina's start in the foren
sic field : in 1897, tell sontethirig
of the history of debating at the
University. Dr. Williams, in
order to show the value of de
bating, cited such men as Ay
cock, -Graham, Roberts, Parker
and Stacy. He quoted Judge
Stacy, winner of the Mangum
Medal, as saying that he had
been able to overcome men ; of
much greater experience be
cause of' the ability gained
through debating here. Dr.
Williams closed with this state
ment: "In defeating you take a
question and seek to see what
the truth is. Isn't that what
life is?"
Judge R. W. Wmson, also a
winner of the Mahgiim Medal,
made a short impromptu ad
dress hi which he emphasize'd
the heed of logic in debate and
urged the debater always to
master the principles underlying
the questions which they dis
cuss., v.
Following the meeting of the
squad the debate council met to
consider ah invitation 4;o debate
from the. University of Porto
Rico in Rio tiedras, P. R. This
invitation will probably be ac
cepted and the debate held here
during the -spring quarter.
Faculty Orchestra
To Meet Thursday
The faculty orchestra will
commence its third year with a
preliminary meeting in Pierson j
hall next Thursday evening, Oc
tober 9, at 8 o'clock. The or
ganization has been fortunate in
securing Lamar Stringfield, the
composer, to conduct it during
the coming season. Dr. D. A.
MacPherson, who has been con
ducting the orchestra for the
past two years, will become con
certhieister. It is urged that all
faculty members, especially newr
comers, who play any orchestra
instruments, attend the meeting
Thursday night.
FACULTY RULING
PUT INTO EFFECT
Motion Adopted Last Spring
Relative to Courses Passed
Will Be Enforced.
An important ruling of the un
dergraduate faculty, passed last
May, goes into effect this fall;
Dr. A. W. Hobbs announced this i
morning. The ruling has to do
with a slight change in .the num
ber of courses a student must
pass in order to remain in col
lege. . ' .
The part of the regulation ap
plying to freshmen requires that
a freshman pass two courses in
the first two quarters and five
courses in the firsf three quar
ters. This is practically the same
rule that was in effect last year
except for. the fact that a fresh
man had to pass one course each
quarter.
After the freshman year, a
student must pass at least one
course each quarter, four courses
in two ' successive quarters and
seven courses in three successive
quarters. By two succesive quar
ters is meant the last two quar
ters of residence and by three
successive quarters is meant the
last three quarters of residence.
Deficiencies may be made up
by correspondence or in summer
school. In either of these cases,
only credits exceeding one course
credit so obtained shall count for
readmission. "?
C. Br Robson Given
Research Fellowship
Last August C. B. Robson re
ceived from the University his
Ph.D. degree in the field of polit
ical science and history. The
subject of his dissertation was
"The' Influence of German
Thought on Political Theory in
the United States in the Nine
teenth Century." x .
Di. Robson has been awarded
a research fellowship"which will
enable him to study in the Hunt
ington library located at Hunt
ihgton Beach, Calif. Dr. Wil
liam W. Pierson, acting dean of
the graduate school, made the
following statement concern
ing Dr; Robson."
J"I regard Di.' Robson as dhe
of the most brilliant students I
ever had the pleasure of teach
ing. Robson has rwritten a dis
sertation of fine research quality
that should bring him high rep
utation;" The distinguished honor giv
en to Dr. Robson recalls the vis
it tb this University of Dr.' Max
Farrand in the spring. Dr. Far
rarid was vey much interested
and impressed by the research
activities of the University.
That he and .the authorities of
the Himtihgtoh library selected
Dr. Robson is not only a com
pliment to Dr. Robson but to
the graduate "school as well.
NUMBER 13
ARTISTS PETITION
AUTHORITIES FOR
CHARTM GRANT
North Room in Person Hall Is
Suggested for Meeting
Place.
A petition to Frank P. Gra
ham, president of the University,
made public yesterday afternoon
revealed the formation of an art
club with the "purpose of pro
viding mutual criticism and ap
preciation in working in the gra
phic arts."
, The chief purpose of the peti
tion, which was in the form of
a letter, was to secure a hall in
which the newly formed Art club
could hold meetings. The place
designated by the organization,
was the long north room in Per
son hall, which was conidered
wrell adapted to the purposes of
the club because of its central
' location, its size, and its abun
dance of light.
In the letter, the petitioners
described themselves as members
of the student body and mem
bers of the community of Chapel
Hill. The purpose of the organi
zation is "to hold regular meet
ings and provide for mutual cri
ticism and appreciation in work-
ing in the graphic arts."
The petition continued in
speaking of the work of the club :
"We are confident that our en
terprise wilPgo steadily on and
enlist more and more interest in
the whole student body. There
are many students who have
some artistic interest and ability
who would be glad of an oppor
tunity to express and increase
both during their study here in
the University."
The petition laments the fact
that- there is . no training pro
gressing in any college in this
state where studies in the gra
phic arts may be continued, al
though the high schools are in
creasingly providing some train
