Clark Bill Jarman ' Sunday, October 5, 1930 An Ideal Location ' For Conventions Chapel Hill and the Univer sity are becoming well known throughout the south as an ideal place for conferences. The third annual- Southern Confer ence on Education will be held here the latter part of this month. Other such meetings will likely be brought to Chapel Hill before the conclusion of the present scholastic year. And all are familiar with the numer our conferences conducted here last year. "Although not located ideally in respect to railroad facilities, Chapel Hills holds more than an advantage with respect to roads. Highways from every bordering state lead directly here and di rect roads to several nearby cities make railroad transporta tion almost as convenient as if railroads centered here. The library, several excellent small meeting halls, and the Carolina Inn provide all facilities necessary for a small conven tion. The faculty is composed of men famous in almost every field. Combined, the facilities and the faculty give .Chapel Hill a great advantage over many cities and university centers as a natural convention center. But more appealing to many is the location of the Univer sity. Situated away from the noise and bustle of mills and f ac- tories, away from the hurrying noonday and five-o'clock mobs those who come here have com plete freedom of. action and time. There are no conflicting interests to attract the attention of those attending a convention here. When the University stages a convention it is a con vention and not shows, golf matches, and sightseeing tours. Why A Liberal Education? Much has been written-about education. All its phases have been scanned, its statistics la boriously compiled and its trends anxiously observed. The pro ponents vociferously declare that the educated man succeeds muchf more easily in his life work, and the antagonists name business moguls that have never had any formal school training. . And all the while, the callow college undergraduate blithely follows his path, wondering why anyone should trouble himself -with mathematics or history or Eng lish. For him, doubtlessly, the studies are of no utility. : The purpose of this article is merely to tell of an1 incident we observed: Passing before the new Memorial Hall, we noticed a young worker eyeing an idling student, obviosuly a freshman. The actual reverence and eager desire we saw in the labourer's eyes embarrassed us; the pros pect of the education that await ed the raw freshman, enobled him to the workman. We, who have every opportunity to get a good education, take everything for granted. We do not intend to extol the praises of education, because often a half-baked edu cation does harm; and the aver age college graduate has no thorough education. v The grad uate must needs be a dilletante of learning; he has a ready, clever smattering of general knowledge. Ever since that little occur ence our composure has been shaken, we've been wondering. What do you think? LARGE AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED TO LOYALTY FUND ( Continued from page one) alumnus from his class agent. The first letter was mailed so as to be received on' Monday, September 29. The second let ter was mailed yesterday to all alumni who had not sent in their subscriptions at that time. The local committeemen, of which there are nearly 500, are each making a personal visit to l6 other alumni who reside in their county. The canvass was planned to start within two or three days following the receipt of the letter from the class agent. Alumni who have already con tributed to the fund during 1930 will, not be solicited during the present campaign, either by letter or in person. The response so far has come almost entirely from the letters' of the class agents, according to Mr. Grisette. Reports from throughout the State indicate that the local committeemen are seeing their entire quota of 10 alumni before making their re ports. As a result the largest number of subscriptions are yet to come. Mr. Grisette said yesterday that the most encouraging fea ture of the campaign so far was the fine spirit of cooperation which he has found among alumni everywhere. NOTED GERMAN ECONOMIST TO LECTURE HERE j (Continued from first page) European Division of the Car neigie Foundation. . Professor Bonn's -lecture will appeal especially to students of Political Science, Economics and History, but will be ol value to all those who have an interest in significant current develop ments all over the world. uage By Virginia Douglas Judge R. W. Winston's High Stakes and IJair Trigger, the much touted life of Jefferson Davis unexpurgated and unex tenuated is daily expected from the presses of Henry Holt and Co., New York. Since the judge, '79, Tvas staying at the Carolina Inn for a day or two, we interviewed him. "What is your idea, Judge?" we asked. "Why I guess my title is the best answer. Davis was play ing for the highest possible stakes, and he was going to win the horse or lose the saddle .. . . But for Davis, the Demo cratic party would not have split in 1860, Douglas would have beaten Lincoln and become president.- And there would have been no civil war. "Jefferson Davis was indeed a puzzle and a paradox. He dared the North to elect Lincoln; if they did the South would secede at once. (But he made that elec tion inevitable by splitting the democratic party.) The dare was accepted, Lincoln was elect ed. The South seceded. Hell broke loose. Yet Davis insisted he was always for the union." He was indeed a paradox. "The confederate president was as antiquated as Moses. He really' though slavery was or dained , of God. With Governor McDuffie he exclaimed T trust my children will never live ex cept in a land of slavery'." This slave empire was to include Cuba, Yucatan, the Islands of the Caribean, and Mexico. He would have them by purchase if possible. If that failed, he would try the more or less sub tle method of filibustering. If that failed, he would openly seize them. And they would be slave states where he could pre serve intact the southern indus trial system. The born-to-the-beard patriarchs would contiue to live gracefully, ministered to by the negro slaves. , The author reassured us on the matter of Davis's loyalty to the country. "Of course Davis loved the union and would pre serve it, provided slavery was admitted into the new territor ies. But because slaves were not admitted' into California, and would probably be excluded from Kansas, Nebraska, etc., the Union must slide." "Was he a fit president, Judge?" we asked. And he answered. "None fitter." -He qualified that no body could have been fitter, for that particular position of pre server of a regime that was to fall. He continued. "He fought till hell froze out and then pro posed to fight it out on the ice. He railed at Lee for surrender ing. And at Greensboro in 1865 he attacked Joe Johnson and called him a recreant for laying down arms to Sherman. Mrs. Davis actually charged that Johnson surrendered in a great big hurry so her husband could be captured." And then Judge Winston put this complex, neurasthenic, new Jefferson Davis into three sum mary sentences : "Of Davis it must be said he was the pen of the Revolution, as Yancey was its voice. Dignified, erect, brave, self -centered, a hard student, Davis was stubborn, "wrangle some" as Rhett charged, un able to forgive or forget. Dy ing, he shot back that he cared nought for the cost of the war, lives lost, treasure squandered, and blood shed ; if he had it to do over again he would do just as he did before. "Of course he was never pardoned: He was a man without a country. "Was he a safe adviser, Judge?"; j His answer was puzzling. "Wait and see." m errerson is New Books Received The Bull's Head, has just re ceived an edition of .modern French novels.
