G @ Nj Nj EN- c. mENT DAY
CHAPEL HILL.

The exercises were commenced with
a prayer by the Rev. DIR. Pritchard.
Paul O. Cameron, Esq, Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, then made
an address of welcome to all present
after which he introduced the orator
of the day
HON. R. P. DICK.
Judge Dick, after few Introductory
remarks very appropriate to the time
and place, in which he congratulated
the State upon the revival of her time
honored University, proceeded TO the
discussion of the subject of his address
which was review of the history and
achievements of the Anglo-Ame-ican
race. The address was carefully pre-
pared and gave proof of diliigent
labor and patient research. That it
was most Interesting presentation of
the subject was plainly shown by the
careful attention given to it by the
large audience in attendance, one of
the largest audiences by the way ever
assembled in the Chapel. OF course
no report such as our limited space
this morning confines Us to, can give
anything like a correct idea CT such
an effort. We trust at future day to
be able to do more ample justice to
what was really very fine intellectual
effort. At the conclusion of the adj
dress Juge Dick was warmly congrat-
ulated by the gentlemen present on
the rostrum with him. The report of
the faculty giving
