University scientific research society, Dr. Carl C. Speidel, pro-' fessor of anatomy in the school of medicine at the University of ; consists of McBridge Fleming" Virgfnia, revealed how he hadjjones, president: Charles G. found it possible for the first time "to watch directly in the living organism two fundamen tal activities of nerve fibres." "These are the behavior of the actively moving tip of a sin gle fibre as it grows toward the iskin, and the process of forma tion of the myelin sheath which later encases the fibre," he ex plained. . - Dr. Speidel's important dis- covery, announced at the annual meeting in January of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, won for him a $1000 prize awarded annually by the Association for the outstanding scientific con tribution of the year.

That member is Dr. J. G. Murphy, graduate of the University class of 1901, and prominent Wil mington physician. A member of the present board of trustees of the Univer sity, Dr. Murphy was chosen by the last legislature to become a member of , the consolidated j board of 100 trustees. In a sense, therefore, Dr. Murphy represents on the University board of trustees the point of view of the medical alumni. Dr. Murphy has practiced medicine in Wilmington since 1907, moving there from Ken ansville where he had practiced four years following . the com pletion of his medical course. , University Career Entering the University in fall of 1894, Dr. Murphy attend ed three years until June, . 1897, when he dropped out to teach school for two years. At the end of that time he came back to Chapel Hill as a medical stu dent. By taking some academic courses along with his medicine, he was able to complete his two year medical course and at the same time receive a B.S. degree with the class of 1901. He continued his medical training at the medical college of the University of Louisville, and was graduated there with an M.D. degree in 1903.

Partisans of Harris who attempted to "gag" the statue of alma mater in front of the library caused a near riot as they flaunted a strip of black crepe before the group they dub bed "the athletic crowd."

A. deputation teams Stories about Dean "Andy' Johnson Sketch of prominent University Trustee and Throat Hospital in Balti more, from which he received a certificate. One of the most re freshing things about his pro fessional training is that for ten years after his course at Balti more, he spent a portion of each year at some medical center in further study. In 1912-13 he was vice-president of the State Medical Asso ciation, in 1920 was elected to fellowship in the American Col lege of Surgeons, and in the same year was also elected by the state medical society to membership on the state board oi medical examiners lor a six- year period. In 1921-22 he was president of that board. Ideals for Profession At the meeting of the state medical society at Pinehurst in April, 1930, Dr. Murphy was chosen president of that body. He presided over the meeting of the state society in Durham, 1931, and in his presidential ad dress, stressed the summons to the medical profession for de velopment from within.
