LAND GRANT AD) FOUNDED STATE Dean Harrelson Tells How Funds From 270,000 Acres Estab lished State College. Col. John W. Harrelson, dean of State College, yesterday spoke to the members of the freshman class, assembled for their last meeting of the winter quarter, on "Land Grant Institutions of America." Discussing the reasons for the establishment of such schools, Dean Harrelson sketch ed the growth of the national sentiment favoring a movement to train the masses in the fields of applied sciences and dealt with the hardships that the movement met. State Founded A bill providing for land grant state colleges was passed by Con gress, and Ncrth Carolina re ceived 270,000 acres. With the funds realized from this dona tion, the state legislature pro vided an appropriation for an agricultural and engineering - -m college This school became the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering.

SCHEDULE With One Protest Editor Dill Objects To Bradshaw's Plan New Schedule Would Allow Five Classes in Morning, Fewer In Afternoon. FACULTY WILL DECIDE Standing out fearlessly for the rights of the student-who-sleeps, one student protested resterday against the mob-mad action of the Student Welfare Board in approving Dean Fran cis Bradshaw's proposal for be ginning all Carolina classes at 8 o'clock in the 'morning. Presenting the plan which has met with wide approval in the Southern Association of Col leges, Dean Bradshaw pointed out that the new schedule would allow five classes in the morn ing and would reduce the neces sity for afternoon classes. One lone voice pleaded for the true Carolina spirit. One lone student saw that such a sched ule, forcing Carolinians to turn over in their slumber at 7:59 a m. would never meet with the ap proval of the subjects who would be subjected to its tyranny. Advocated Proposal Yet, not too fast we must re member that those who played traitor to the Carolina cause of sleeping included Leaders Sim mons Patterson, Frank Willing ham, Betty Durham, Virgil Weathers, Jack Pool, Joe Sugar- man, J. D. Winslow, and Agnew Bahnson. These are the ones who belong to the Student Welfare Board alone, Editor A. T. Dill protest ed against the 8 o'clock class proposal. More Convenient . Conflicts and disfavor for the first and last class periods would be reduced because students could take their three classes at 9, 10, and 11 under the new schedule. Ambitious students, it was ar gued, could devote more hours to preparation and professors could arrange more convement appointment hours with the new plan. Although definitely adopted by the Welfare Board, the pro posal must meet with the ap proval of the faculty of the Uni versity. Should the measure go through, the new schedule would be initiated, next fall. Some ar rangement will be made for freshmen assembly; upperclass men will have a straight five- hour class program.
