Students Crowded For Mail In Prior to 1923, Chapel Hill Had Students Had to Call at Post Office to Get Mail; Local Post Office Has First Class Rating. ' -O A pushing, shoving mass of students and townspeople in front of the post office on Franklin street caused no sensa tion in the early twenties. This scene of crushed humanity ex emplified the custom, now long departed, of calling for the daily mail. Before 1923, mail was not delivered to the dormitories and had to be called for at the boxes in the lobby. Just as one of the daily rites of the present generation of stu dents is to frequent the vicinity of the drugstores downtown, so one unalterable custom then was to call at the postoffice for mail. It was looked upon as wholly natural, once each day to make, oneself part of a long queue that endeavored to squeeze into a post office already crowded to capacity. Steady Flow of People WheiK the idea of going to town and calling for mail oc curred to most people at the same time, it can be readily un derstood that the crowds in front of the stucco building on Franklin street were not of in considerable size. From eight in the morning till five in the evening there was a constant line stretching from the doors of the post office to the corner of Franklin and Henderson streets. After one in the afternoon the line was so swelled by additions that it had to double back on it self to' prevent blocking the high way to all traffic. In November 1923, city deliv ery was inaugurated. It was VICE-PRESIDENTIAL POLL My selection for vice-president of the Greater University of North Carolina to succeed President Graham as head of the University in Chapel Hill is: Registration No...h .;. Ballot Boxes Located in Y. 21. C. A. and in Graham Memorial POLL CONDUCTED BY THE DAILY TAR HEEL Post Office Years Before 1923 No City Delivery of Mail, and about this time that the dormi tories on the upper quadrangle were opened tor occupancy. With the increase in size of the University the mail delivery sit uation might have become very embarrassing, resembling some what the frantic crowds that line up before the registrar's office at the beginning of every quar ter to secure grade reports. But city delivery was begun, and the University provided boxes for all the dormitories; A throw-back to the time when every one had to call for! mail is evidenced by the fact that a number of the townspeople and fraternities that live outside the city limits do not have mail delivered to them. Post Office Rates High The post office received first class rating in 1926. Most towns of Chapel Hill's size boast of no more than third class of fices. The type of mail that helps swell the total is varied. The University extension bur eau sends and receives more ma terial than any single agency on the campus. An extraordinary amount of postal cards pass through the post office, coming for the most part from the business office, the various deans, the library, and the students, who instead of writing letters, often effect a saving by sending postal cards. The number of packages marked "perishable" is extremely large, more than dou ble the amount of this type of mail coming - into Chapel Hill than into towns of similar size.
