First Women Students Scorned
By Resentful And Jealous Men
o
Present Relations Between Carolina Men and Co-eds Very Different
From Animosities Aroused by Entrance of Four Women
In 1897; Co-eds Soon Entered Activities.
o-
The presence of some chic bit
of collegiate femininity strolling
across the campus domain of the
Carolina man no longer brings a
quickening of his heart or a pal
pable feeling of resentment.
Co-eds, brightly garbed and oc
casionally beautiful, have bra
zenly dared to enter an institu
tion which for over one hun
dred years was dedicated exclu
sively to the education of males.
Today the women students
find themselves mingling with
. the opposite sex in a relationship
that varies from complete indif
ference upon the part of the men
to a situation of apparent equal
ity. However the present co-ed

is in no wise as severe and
Prejudiced as that which the pi
oneer women students at Caro

Co-eds were admitted to the
University for the first time in
the fall of 1897. On February
21 of that year the trustees of
the institution ruled that women

Theatre Will Present
German Movie Tonight
Die Reine Wahrheit, a Ger
man movie, will be shown at the
Carolina theatre at 9 : 15 o'clock
tonight. Dr. Spann of the Ger
man department will give ex
planations in English through
out the picture, to aid those who
are unfamiliar with German. .
The interest in foreign movies
which is rapidly growing
throughout the United States is
also evident here. The co-operation
of the local theatre with the
University's foreign language
departments make it possiWe for
these pictures to be shown in
Chapel Hill.

the campus, but, as one old
timer puts it, were disdained

"assumed a high standing in

mented Frederick H. Koch, then
a young instructor at the state
University of North Dakota, to
a group of his friends gathered
at supper in the university com
mons a few days before the holi
days.
The dean of women, one of
the party, spoke up: "Well if
you feel that way about it, you
ought to read it for us." Thus,
on the Sunday before Christmas,
twenty-five years ago, Koch gave
his first public reading of Dick
ens' immortal ghost story.
To Read Here Tonight
Tonight, at 8:30 o'clock in
Memorial hall Professor Koch,
now famous for his interpreta

read it for the fifteenth time in
Chapel Hill. He has read it in
various other sections of the
country, from Dakota to New
England and throughout ; the
south, in tiny villages and in
New York City, in churches,
schools and opera houses.
Always people crowded to
hear him read this famous
Christmas story. Professor Koch
recalls that in the North Da

PRAISE WORK OF

Institute of Government;
New Officers Inducted.
Public installations of officers
last week were in order for over
four-fifths of the state's 100
counties, according to reports
received here recently by Profes
sor Albert Coates, director of
the Institute of Government,
which sponsored the occasion.
This movement has gained con
siderable favorable comment
from political leaders all over
the state.
This was the initial time in
the history of the great state of
North Carolina that public in
stallation of officers had ever
been conducted in the presence
of the people that elected them.
Ceremonies took place at various
places at different times; and
apart from the radio audiences,
it has. been estimated that be
tween 35,000 and 40,000 tax
payers and citizens witnessed
the presentation of incoming
county officers.
Both Parties
"Republicans and Democrats
joined together without regard
to part affiliations and in a num
ber of counties outgoing officers
participated in the ceremony of
presenting incoming officers.
High school and college classes in
government were in attendance
in many places," said Professor
Coates.
Two of the University's most
prominent alumni, Governor
