THE UNIVERSITY AND IT'S ALUMNI

From the officials of the State Uni
versity we learn that it is desired to
enlist the friendship, counsel and criti-
cism of the alumni in behalf Of that
institution, and an effort is being made
to secure hearty and practical COOP
Grafton between the University and
its alumni.
The University is necessarily de-
pendent mainly upon its alumni for
friendship, counsel and criticism; and
the alumni have shown themselves by
no means regardless of the interest and
claims of their alma mater. But there
has been hitherto no systematic, Or
gained, practical working connection
between the University and her gradu-
ates. There is movement on foot to
remedy this. Wednesday of COM
mencement week, has been set apart
as Alumni Day land besides the annual
banquet and reunion, there will be a
regular business meeting for the dis
cussion of plans and methods of in
creasing the patronage, enlarging the
endowment, Strengthening tn spirit and
exalting the work of the institution.
This year a memorial address will
be delivered by r. H. Battle, Esq, on
DIR. Charles Phillips, and the Alumni
Grafton will be by Col. w. H. S. Bur
gwyn, of Henderson.
The best results should attend this
movement and in order to make it
efficient it is earnestly desired that
every alumnus of the University, who
can possibly do SO, attend the approach
ing commencement.
Branch alumni associations are now
in process of organization in the lead
ing towns and cities of the State. Or
CARNATIONS have already been effected
in Raleigh and Goldsboro.
President Battle hopes soon to visit
Greensboro, Winston, Durham, Char
lotte and other places and aid in the
formation of the Association.
Commenting on this subject the
Charlotte Chronicle says:
The idea of the new movement is a
good one. The whole State is proud
of the University, and none in the
State are more proud of the noble in
stituton of learning than the alumni
themselves.
The movement to be begun at the
commencement this year, is plan to
crystalize the universal sentiment into
something for the practical advance
ment of the University's interests.
That the alumni and the thousands
of other friends of the institution, will
contribute as much as possible to the
success of the new movement, goes
without saying.
Alumni Day at the University this
year will be a day of importance to
the University and all North Carolina
hopes that the discussion of plans for
increasing the patronage, charging
the endowment, Strengthening the
spirit, and exalting the work of the in
stitution," will be fruitful of great re-
suits.

DID we not know that Reidsville is
one of the Invest and most progressive
towns in the State, we would not need
any further assurance than the follow
ing. The DAILY Revlea0, which, by
the way, is very creditable and flour
ishing paper both in size and subject
matter, speaking of its weekly edition
last week, says:
It is sixteen pages and brimful OF
news. In breadth, scope and size it is
a newspaper in every sense of the word.
As an evidence of its enterprise and
abundant patronage it is only necessary
to say that the Re0te7o of this week
contains ~ columns of paid advertise
ments. Eight columns of new adver-
tisements were unavoidably left out.

Kipling Is just twenty-four years old--a short
square-built fellow, with black hair and mus
tache He lives in rooms in Villier street, over
the Thames embankment, where / spent a de-
lightful afternoon and found him working him
self to death as hard as he could. 1 don't find
him bit spoiled by the adulation he has re-
ceived. He is unquestionably great genius
and has had a training which, added to his ex-
traordinarygift, will make him supreme il he Goes
not kill himself. His father held a government
post in India, and kipling, a bow went
on one of the papers there, the name of
which 1 now forget. Owing to his position
and cleverness he was thrown into the very
vortex of that extraordinary Indian life
where, under burning sun, the force of
which we cannot estimate, so, 900 whites rule

race. asked him where he got his directncss
and simplicity of STYLE which are his most strik-
ing characteristics, and his power of condensa-
ton. He said he used to have two columns
to fill and no more and that il he ran over
he had to cut out. There could not have
been better training for a writer, and the
result is that a page from one of his stories is
as direct as page from ''Gulliver's Travels"
He has taken Tom Adkins, the English private
soldier. under his especial charge. He knows
more about him than any one else. He read

health is suffering-for ten hours a day of
imaginative composition, day in and day out. is
more than flesh and blood can stand. He is at
present in Naples, resting, and L make bold to
say that in time he will become one of the
standing lights OF English literature.
