Drive For Contributions To Loan
Fund Keeps Many In University
-o
Mrs. Jesse Kenan Wise and
Fund With Large Gifts; Dean Bradshaw's Organizing
Influence Has Distributed Funds on Campus.
0
Although fifty years elapsed
before eighteen student loan
funds were established at the
University, that meagre number
was- increased by thirty-two
from the spring of 1931 to the
spring of the present year.( This
astounding rise in funds for
needy University students is the
most significant review of the
results of the Emergency Stu
dent Loan Fund drive instituted
last January. .
From about $60,000 Jast May
the fund has grown to the pres
ent figure of $109,000. Among
the several contributions, which
served to swell the total of
funds to be used for needy stu
dents, are a donation of $10,000
from an anonymous contributor
and a gift from Mrs. Jesse
Kenan Wise of Wilmington, in
the form of securities having a
par value of $47,000. -
At present, only the income
from this gift, estimated by
President Graham at about
$2,000 annually, is available.
When stock market conditions
Warrant the liquidation of the
securities, the principal will also
be placed at the disposal of the
loan fund.
LIBRARY RECEIVES
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL
WORKSOF NOTE
$30,000 Grant Permits Purchase
Which Will Make Library
Outstanding in South.
. Through the aid of a grant of
$30,000 made by the General
Education board last spring, the
University library has made im
portant additions to its collec
tion of bibliographical works.
The newly acquired works in
clude card indices and catalogues
of the leading libraries in this
country and in,f oreign countries.
Works' of this type - are consid
ered essential for scholarly re
search. The library expects,
through the benefits derived
from the grant it received, to
build up the fundamental tools
for a graduate school in the field
of bibliography which will be
surpassed by few universities in
the nation.
. The library bibliographical
material before this grant was
the most extensive in the south,
and it furnishes an excellent
foundation for a collection of the
kind which has been added. De
spite this fact, however, the re
search work in the south has
been greatly handicaped by the
lack of bibliographical resources.
Among the materials which
have already been purchased are
included monumental sets of
catalogues which will be useful
in locating rare books in other
principal libraries and in ar
ranging for loans with other li
braries. New purchases this year will
be divided into five classes:
printed cards of libraries in
America, catalogues of the na
tional libraries of other nations,
such as the British Museum,
period indices, and subject bibli
ographies. Wilmington Club to Meet
The Wilmington club, which
met last week, will have its sec
ond, meeting tonight in 209 Gra
ham Memorial at 7:00 o'clock.
Anonymous Contributor Increase
Public announcement of these
contributions was originally
made at Commencement last
year. Since that time miscel
laneous donations totaling $280
have been received.
A remarkable sidelight on the
loan fund campaign is the col
lection of $26,000 in debts to
the fund contracted by former
students. Through the efforts
of Charles T. Woollen, business
manager of the University; Miss
Doris Humphreys, of the busi
ness office ; University auditor,
Livingston Rogerson; and Dean
Francis Bradshaw and his staff,
more money was collected from
the outstanding debts of the
fund last year than ever before.
Behind the entire movement
has been the dynamic person
ality of President Graham, who
devoted the major portion oi
his time last spring to touring
the eastern part of the country
in the loan fund's behalf . More
over, it has been the organizing
influence of Dean Bradshaw that
has distributed the funds on the
campus. Several hundred men
have been able to continue their
education with the aid of money
which has been given the fund.

UNIVERSITY WILL
COOPERATE WITH
YALE INRESEARCH
D. J. Brawley Hired to Study
Lead Storage Cells for Use in .
U. S. Navy Submarines.
According to a co-operative
agreement with the naval re
search laboratory of the Navy
department at Washington, the
University of North Carolina
in conjunction with Yale uni
versity has been selected to
carry out studies relating to lead
storage cells and their use in
submarines.' All undersea move
ment of submarines is effected
from power from storage bat
teries and most submarine dis
asters are due to explosions
from battery gases. To attempt
to remove the causes of these ex
plosions is the main aim of the
work.
Part of the theoretical study,
which is of importance in the
fundamental knowledge 'of the '
lead storage cells in general is
being carried out in co-operation
with Yale university. The
University will confine its work
to solubility studies on lead per
oxide and lead sulphate in sul
phuric acid solutions.

University to employ a full time
assistant to carry on most of the

FORUM SPONSORS
INFORMAL DANCE
Graham Memorial Banquet Hall
Is Scene of First Dance of
Proposed Series.
. The first of a series of infor
mal dances will be given tonight
in the banquet hall of Graham
Memorial between 7:00 and 8:00
o'clock. This dance will be un
der the direction of the Union
Forum. Jack Wardlaw and his
band will furnish the music for
the occasion. Everyone on the
campus is welcome and no ad
mission will be charged. '
If the dances prove to be popu
lar with the students they will
become a weekly event, being
sponsored each week by a dif
ferent organization on the cam
pus. Special entertainment fea
tures are being planned in con
nection with the dances.
The idea of these weekly in
formal dances originated with
the Union Forum last spring,
but this is the first opportunity
for testing out the idea. The
purpose of the idea is to better
acquaint the students with one
another and bring about a closer
unity among the student body.
Redheads Will Meet
Friday To Organize
All red-headed students in the
University that might be inter
ested in forming a redhead club
are urged tobe present at a
meeting scheduled for Gerrard
hall Friday at 7 :00 o'clock. The
movement is being backed by
Red Rankin. As there are a
great number of redheads regis
tered in the University this year
such a club is a great oppor
tunity for a general "get-together"
for boys and girls whose
heads are adorned with titian
locks.
There was a club of redheads
formed at the University last
year and received such fame as
to be mentioned in College Hu
mor as a collegiate oddity.
