DIR. Battle and the University.

AS will be seen, the Doctor confines him
self to our comments upon the election Of
Messrs. Phillips and Love, and writes as if
our chief objection to them is their youth
funess In this he is Mistaken We are
willing to admit that these two young gen
tlemen are men of excellent character and
S ,lendid intellectual gifts. one of them
Is entirely unknown to us, and the other
almost 50; but that does not prove at all
that they are not men of extraordinary
talent and ample requirements for men OF
their age.
our point WAS that we thought it was
promised that if ihc State would give
Chapel Hill sufficient amount OF money
that institution would be raised above the
level of rivalry with other North Carolina
schools.
our inquiry was i'll that article and still
is is it to be done by taking her own recent
graduates as professors? 1t looks very
much like spreading out at the base, in
stead of growing upward. The Doctor
mentions many of the celebrities of his
tory, and several notable men of our Own
State. who achieved great things while
young, but takes all the point out Of his
argument by saying he does not mean to
apply II to this case. o orr minds, the
fact that there are so many other young

one other view of the case Who chose
Messrs. Phillips and Love. The unbiased
reader of Dr.. Battles letter must be lm
pressed with the great interest manifested
in their behalf by the Doctor himself, and
other members Of the faculty. 1t has been
said that the trustees meeting was simply
"a ratification meeting. This has been
denied. But here is Dr. Battle S letter. 1t
is plain to our mind that the Faculty at
Chapel Hill had consulted about this mat
ter and chat their united efforts We're put
forth to secure the election Of these gen
tlemen We will not charge that the tru>-
tees had agreed to comply with their wishes
before the meeting.
We accepted the statement made pubic
Il few days ago, III denying the fatlhcii1ioiI
idea. But then there Is ratification and
ratification, and We believe that it was
known to a moral certainty at the [ Univer-
sity before the meeting of the trustees

elected. DR.. Battle says DR.. Phillips was

those who asked for the place. 1t might
