j .THE BRIDE COMES HOME
These are scenes of a former homecoming day when once upon
a time Carolina played Georgia Tech. One Carl Snavely seems to
have been coaching here then.
Come Saturday, there is another homecoming here upon the
campus, a homecoming calculated to make all that have gone be
fore resemble meek and modest family reunions.
At Long Last, From Dusty Disuse
s
Historic Gerrard Hall To Be Repaired By WP A Grant
' : :
Erected In 1822,
Building Honors
Revolutionary Hero
One of the oldest buildings on
the campus, glorying in a his
toric past, will soon cease to be
simply a small box-like structure
near the Book Exchange, and
again take its place as Gerrard
hall. Built in 1822, it was named
after a Revolutionary war hero.
The Revolutionary hero was
Major Charles Gerrard, native
of Carteret, and resident of
Edgecombe. Dying childless, he
bequeathed to the University the
grant of 2560 acres near Ashe
ville to which his rank in the
army as lieutenant entitled him.

With this gift went the express
request that it should perpetually
remain the property of the Uni
versity. And so it did for 35
years.
2560-Acre White Elephant
Taxes were high and the Uni
versity was deeply in debt. The
bequest,' so beneficently endowed
became a white elephant. A new
and larger hall was needed for
the rapidly growing enrollment.
So the tract of land was sold and
in order to show the gratitude
of the University and to per
petuate the memory of Gerrard,
$2,000 of the money received
from the sale of the land, was
applied to the finishing of the
new hall Gerrard hall.
The building now has been
condemned as unfit for student
use. But in 1883, Dr. Kemp B.
Battle, then president of the Uni
versity delivered an address on
the history of the buildings here.
He said "An architect's exam
ination proved that not Samp
son, in all his long-haired glory,
could have pulled down the gal
leries, but still additional pillars
were inserted and other altera
tions were made to give public
confidence."
Once Upon A Time
Once in this hall, there was a
scare, unfounded but perhaps
phophetic. Dr. Battle tells about
it as "One of those exhibitions
of uncontrollable, unreasoning
fright, which sometimes happens
to crowds and which the ancients
attributed to temporary mad
ness inspired by the god Pan. A
cry was raised "the gallery is
falling!" There was a rush of
the crowd and screams of terror.
There was imminent danger of
I trampling in the narrow stair
cases. There was no serious dam
age however. Some gallant young
men who were on the outside,
displayed their heroism by
catching in their arms the fright
ened damsels leaping from the
windows, but T heard no com
plaints on either side."
When built, the building had
a porch on the south side. A
broad avenue was planned to run
along the southern wall, east and
west. But merchants in the vil
lage complained that this ave
nue would divert traffic from
Franklin street and so the plan
was abandoned.
At long last the WPA has ap
propriated $161,116 for the res
toration of Gerrard and repairs
in Alumni and Caldwell. Soon
again, Gerrard hall will be in
use.
Smallpox was unknown in
Africa until the white man
arrived.
There are only 957 men for
every 1,000 women in Italy.
