"Many of us have dreamed for
a long time," said Drl Koch, "of
the establishment of an Ameri

dized, as in the older continental
countries, by the state. Now, out
of the catastrophe of nation
wide unemployment, this dream
lias become an actuality. De
signed primarily as an emer
gency measure, it has become a
true theater of the people ; a the

employs 1200 workers, and com
mands a total audience of a half
.million people every week.

"When ' I'm an old alumnus,
with a baby on my knee, I'll
teach him that the alphabet be
gins with U. N. C."
These were the opening words
of a song that .was popular on
the campus back 30 or 40 years
ago. .
The tradition among Univer
sity' alumni of sending their
sons, and in more recent years
their daughters, to Chapel Hill,
is one of long standing. In 1889
at the centennial celebration of
the granting of the University's
charter, one class presented a
beautiful cup to its member
having tmi eldest son. Much to
do was made over the fact that
the boy would follow his fath
er's footsteps to Chapel Hill.
