Managers were not spirited, self-reliant, prompt
and peremptOry as they had right to be. There

While an unusual number of friends greeted each
other at Chapel Hill last week. the we'll known
countenances of two who have hitherto been regu.
larly there, were missed by many who loved to
dwell them. Gov. Manly, the Secretary of the
Board of Trustees, was not there to dispense his
kindly greetings and weighty words of counsel
He was also to have pronounced the Eulogy on his
old friend DR.. Caldwell. the eulogy which Mr.. Cam.
eron periodically supplied a very short notice.

what it has hitherto been, suffered him, he would
doubtless have done his duty here he has done it
elsewhere most gracefully and most successfully

was that of the Rev. Dr. Mitchell. He had taught
the men of two generations; his ever ready smile

gies of lively mind active body and large heart had
been devoted to the youths Of North Carolina eve,
since their prime. But his work is done. The al
fusion to his eminent services by Mr.. Cameron, anG
the apostrophe to his spirit by the valedctorian
were alike true, graceful and grateful. 1t will b,
we'll for the University when the most of her Facul
ty is able to stay there long and to be general
ly respected throughout their courses as was DR.
Mitchell.
