College Generation Present
Mr. D. B. Teague, '10, of San

his class, has sponsored a plan
whereby the classes of '10, '11,
'12, and '13, will come together
on Monday, June8, the college
generation as it was when the
class of 1910 were seniors. Mr.
Teague has written a letter to
all his classmates and to the of
ficers of the other classes and
they all seem to be very much
interested in the plan.
These four classes plan to re
turn to the campus and be to
gether again. They will arrive
on Monday, June 8, Alumni Day,
arid register; then they intend
to go as a body to the alumni
meeting, over which Judge Fran
cis D. Winston, who has been
toastmaster for this occasion
for years, will preside. Then
they are to sit together at the
alumni luncheon in Swain hall.
On Monday night at six o'clock,
the four classes are to have a
joint class dinner at the Caro

Athletic Events Planned
On Monday afternoon Mr.
Teague plans to have several
athletic events take place. At

range a doubleheader baseball
game between the four classes
to be held on Emerson field.
A great deal of interest is be
ing shown on the parts of all
the classes that are returning
this spring. The graduates will
be put up in dormitories and
these four classes that are re
turning together will be put in
the same building. It has not
been decided definitely which
one this will be.
Raleigh Statue Set
Up In Carolina Room
The wood statue of Sir Walter
Raleigh which was recently re
ceived by the University through
the generosity of Mr. Owen Hill
Kenan was placed in the North
Carolina room of the library
Monday.
The statue was not placed on
exhibit upon its arrival as the
foot was cracked to such an ex
tent that it was unable to stand
alone. However, this fault has
been remedied, and the statue,
an early seventeenth century
work, is now on exhibit in the
North Carolina room of the li
brary. Kappa Psi Entertains
The Beta Xi chapter of Kappa
Psi, honorary pharmaceutical
fraternity, presented an in
formal dance at the Wilrik hotel,
Sanford, last Friday night. Jim
my Waltham and his Hotel Ala

DR. KM TO GIVE
M1AIRLECTURES
Series of Annual Addresses Will
Deal With Science and
Religion.
Dr. Harris E. Kirk, D.D., of
the Franklin Street Presby
terian Church of Baltimore,
Maryland, has been selected to
deliver the nineteenth series of
the McNair lecture group. Dr.
Kirk will deliver three lectures,
May 19, 20, and 21, and his sub
jects will be: "From Stars to
Atoms," "From Atoms to Mind,"
and "From Mind to God."
' When John Calvin McNair of
the class of 1849 died, he left
a lecture fund for the Univer
sity in his will. The fund be
came available in 1906, and by
1908 the interest rendered
therefrom was such that the lec
tures could begin. The honor
arium for the lectures amounts
to $500, and the remainder of
the interest from the fund pro
vides for the publication of the
lectures.
Science and Religion
The object of the lectures as
set down in the will of the late
Mr. McNair is "to show the
mutual bearing of science and
religion upon each other and to
prove the existence of attributes
(as far as may be) of God from
nature." With this purpose in
view, Dr. Henry Horace Wil
liams, who is chairman of the
fund, has endeavored to bring
the best men available to talk
before the students and friends
of the University.
The lectures began back in
1908 when Professor Francis H.
Smith LL.D., of the University
of Virginia, addressed the mem
bers of the University on "God
Manifest in the Material Uni
verse." Since then the lectures
have been given regularly with
the exception of five years. They
were omitted in 1918 and 1919
on account of the World War,
and then again in 1926 and
1929. Last year the speaker,
Dr. Michael Pupin, of Colum
bia university, had accepted,
but was unable to attend on ac
count of illness.

J. M. Valentine Secures
Research Fellowship
Under a national research fel
lowship, Dr. Joseph M. Valen
tine, assistant professor of zool
ogy, intends to devote his en
tire time next year to a further
study of blind cave beetles in
eastern America. He expects to
make several expeditions to
limestone regions of the south
ern Appalachian system for the
purpose of exploring caves hith
erto unexplored as far as the
fauna are concerned.
Dr. Valentine says that in
practically every large system
of connected caves, there are
found very definite and indi
vidual anophthalmidal forms.
These species are seldom, if
ever, found in isolation from
one another; consequently, they
usually live in connected caves.
They travel mostly by under
ground streams, not being able
to exist in the open air. A
monographic study of these or
ganisms is to be made which will
probably throw some light upon
the origin of the species and the
effect of cave environment on
the organism.

Di and Phi Discuss Six Bills in
Joint Session.
At a joint meeting of the Di
and Phi societies Tuesday night

which read: Resolved, that the
Phi and Di meet sometime with
in the next week for the pur
pose of giving members of the
German club a chance to defend
themselves and that the socie
ties sponsor a campus-wide vote
to decide the issue. This meas
ure also met with the approval
of the joint session without dis
cussion.
The Phi assembly in a special
meeting approved Representa
tive Lang's resolution proposing
that the Phi assembly send a
representative to the Student
Federation convention at Duke
university. The assembly chose
Speaker Haywood to represent
the Phi assembly at this meet
ing. Representative Lang ex
tended an invitation to all mem
bers of the assembly to attend
this convention.
The bill, Resolved: that the
Human Relations Institute , is
detrimental because it creates
dissatisfaction by bringing in
radicals; was defeated by a
unanimous vote of the joint ses
sion when Senator Dungan sug
gested that the bill be put to a
vote.-'
Representative Lanier intro
duced the resolution, Resolved:
that the proposed consolidation
of counties in North Carolina

As Student Center.
At 6:30 this evening the an
nual Student Activities commit
tee banquet will take place in
the Carolina Inn. The mem
bers of the Student Activities
committee are students who are
actively engaged in the affairs
of the University and prominent
members of the faculty.
The purposes of this commit

development in the various fields
of student activity; to give an
opportunity for discussion of
current campus problems by ad

ulty; and to secure better coor
dination between the various ac
tivities. Definite Projects
Much has been accomplished
by these meetings between fac
ulty members and students dur
ing the seven years in which
they have been conducted. Be
sides the valuable discussion3
which have been engaged in,
definite projects have been in
augurated and carried to com
pletion. The formation of the
Publications Union board, the
reapportionment of dues and
publications costs into a blanket
fee, and the beginning of the
Tar Heel as a daily paper are
some of the definite accomplish
ments of this groups
The program of the banquet
this spring is one of particular
interest and importance. The
main part of the meeting is to
be occupied in discussing the
plan of organization of the Gra
ham Memorial building as a stu
dent union, a-social center, and
an activity center for the cam
pus. A change and reappor
tionment of the blanket fee will
be necessary for this purpose.
The program for awards night
will be considered. A general
discussion of the problems and
policies of the new administra
tion will conclude the program.
