The Secret OF Good Government Mt U. N. c.

The special committee appointed by
Governor Carr 10 investigate the condi-
ton and government OF the university
made their report at the recent COM

chairman; ID. G.. Worth, Esq, OF VIII
mington; Northumberland X. a.
Daughton. Judge W. T. Faircloth, and X.
T GRAY. ESD. OF Raleigh They say:
After careful enquiry and investiga-
ton the committee confidently believe that
al no period in the history Of the univer-
sity has the general department or the
students been better or their haDits Oh
study more commendable. In this con-
nection II gives the committee great plea
sure 10 say that drunkenness mas almost
entirely disappeared. They were assured
by a number of persons Of extensive OBJ
servation that they had not seen a case
of it for years. 1t seems to the com
mittee that these good results come chiefly
from three causes
l. The character of the university gov
eminent.
Q The influence. direct on indirect. Of
intercollegiate games.
3. The influence Of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
The government OF the university seeks
10 lnIutIltt lnt Slulthl W bOfNiH
self by appealing 10 his sense OF right
and to his ambition for fair name, dis
carding espionage In all its phases. Such
influences must tend to the development
Of a high type of character, and, in the
judgment of the committee. have re-
suited in the good order now prevalent
In regard to the effect of the inter-
collegiate games upon the habits of study
and order, some of the committee had en-
70 at hlN. Ntal
effect was wholesome. Perhaps this view
extensively prevails in the State. Upon
mature reflection and an investigation as
extensive as could under the circum-
stances be given the matter, the commit
tee now fully endorse the wisdom of the
introduction and encouragement of these
exercises"
In regard to the financial management
the committee say: 1.-THE books of the
bursar have been faithfully and accu-
rately kept. No evidence of extravaganza
or mismanagement appears"
