The Un1versity-1ts Two New Profess

The UnIversity-1ts Two New Profes-
sOrs.
Two new professors were elected
by the Trustees of the University at
the recent Commencement, one to
supply the vacancy made by the ap-
pointment of Prot Alexander as
Minister to Greece, the other to fill
the new Chair of Moral instruction.
The State is warmly interested IN
the University, and is concerned to
know who are the men selected to
teach it's youth. The two gentle
men recently selected will bring to
the Institution strength OF per-
sonal character, a degree OF learn
ing and wisdom, power to teach,
and a finished scholarship that
make them worthy to be colleagues
of the eminent scholars who now
compose the Faculty.
Prof, Edwin A. Alderman, who |
will conduct the Normal Depart
ment, is a native North Carolinian
and a graduate of the University,
being the valedictorian of his class.
His exquisite literary taste and his
fine gifts as an orator were mani
fest before he left the University.
As superintendent of the foldsbo-
| 70 Graded School, Prof. Alderman
| showed by practical example that
a graded school can furnish train
ing not inferior to that obtainable
in private schools. His pupil Geo.
P. Howell was the best prepared
student in his class at the Universe
| ty, was the best scholar there for two
years, he graduates this year No. l,
in large class at West Point Pres
I1dent Cleveland has recently ap-
| pointed Prof. Alderman one of the
| Board of Visitors to the Military
| Academy, and he is there now wit
Messing the graduation Of Howell.
| Under Alderman's management the
school in Goldsboro was probably
the finest public school in any
lSouthern State. Prof. Alderman's
work as conductor of Institutes is
well-known over North Carolina.
, He is esteemed, admired and hon
ored by the entire State. Especially
is he cherished by the teaching pro-
fession, who regard him as an orna-
ment and a strength to the pro-
fession.
| As Professor of History and Lit
erature in the State Normal
and industrial School for Wo-
men, Professor Alderman has shown
a talent and capacity for work
in the professors chair that are a
| guaranty of his future in the Uni
versity. May he long yield to the
J. service of the State the abundant
J. riches of his talents, his tastes, hi'
J. energy and his attractive persona
magnetism. Mrs. Alderman, siste.
of the late Prof. Graves, will add 1
