He had written to thank her for a letter, that she had sent him. from his grandfather, King George the First of Greece, to her father, Eben; Alexander, when he was U. tS. Minister in Athens. King George wrote it in the time of diplomatic cri-, sis preceding the Graeco- Turkish War. The war broke out February 4, 1897. About two months after that the Alexanders came home. Mr. Alexander had been appointed to the post in Athens by Grover Cleve-| land in 1893. The coming 1 into office in March 1897; of the victorious William McKinley meant, of course, that all Democratic appoin tees were replaced by Ke- publicans. Mr. Alexander, a Yale graduate of 1873, came here; from his native Tennessee as professor of Greek in 1886 and was on the faculty 1 till his death in 1909. He was dean of the Universityj for nine years. His going on leave of absence to enter the diplomatic service re sulted from the friendships that leg&n at Yale. What his friends said about him convinced Cleveland of his merit, and their assurances were borne out by his per formance.

The ex-Gl’s with their families were coming to get an education at the University, and the town was growing in popula tion as well as geographically. More services—commercial, gov ernmental and civic—were needed to meet this and successive growths. Realizing tlie urgent C:d at that Ume and in the su e for a non-governmental ad visory coordinating agency m Chapel Hill, a group of residents got together to form such an or ganization. On December 1, 1947, the Chapel Hill Community Council held its first meeting, at which Mrs. U. T. Holmes served as chairman pro tern. After a constitution and by laws were enacted, the Communi ty Council began its operation. From the beginning the Council derided to act with these purposes in rntod ‘To provide a means from the opera Eugen Onegin The Symphony will conclude the pro gram with Debussy's Festivals and Strauss’ Symphonic Poem Don Juan.

When she was 18, she won a scholarship at Oberlrn Conserva tory from which she received her master’s degree. Since then her career has taken her all over the United States, Mexico, and Can ada. Perhaps the most unusual as pect of Miss Boatwright’s art is th« range of her repertoire. Dur ing one spring season she was soloist with Paul Hindemith’s Collegium Musicum at Yale Uni versity in a concert of Isth cen tury music, soloist at the famous (Continued on Page 5) community needs and problems,” and (2) "To provide leadership and opportunities for organised groups, agencies, and individual members to plan dnd act together voluntarily In matters of common interest."

One repre tentative and an alternate from jach of the agencies sit on the Council for two-year terms.
