Recent lectures in the general college
course have been given by Prof. John
e. Ray, and Rev. DR.. q. NJ. POteat, OF
New Haven, Conn. Prof. Rays inform
ing and interesting lecture was on, that
prodigy of attainments under difficulties,
Helen Keller. DR.. POteat's subject on
the 18th inst. was "A Definition OF IA
triotism" Naming a number Of patriots
from different ages and races, he pointed
out the three characteristics common to
them all namely, idealism as to their
country's future, pessimism as to its pre-
sent, and the spirit of self-sacrifice for
their country's welfare. No man could
be a patriot who was afraid of any man
or set Of men; no man could be patriot
who was self-seeking. In his appeal to
the young men before him he said that
there was a great opportunity in pub
lie life of North Carolina at this time
for patriots, mentioning particularly
the need of champions in the cause OF
popular education as against the greed
and Indifference that have hitherto large
ly defeated it.
