The University of North Carolina yes
terday took a long step forward when it's
board of trustees decided to open it's doors
to women. Not entirely and unreserved-
ly yet, it is true-that will come later ON
but to give them advantage of its post

is a great advance for this hOnored insti-

progressive spirit that has characterized

the State than would 10000 woman suf-

ing that could be conferred upon them.
1t will take up the work just where the
Normal and Industrial school leaves it off
and give to the daughters of North Caro-
lima just the same educational adVan-

THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.
The first business to be transacted was
the presentation of the reports of Presi-
dent Alderman and members of the facul-
ty, and Of the secretary and treasurer.
President Alderman's report covered
the entire period on his administration
of the University. The total registration
of students for this period was shown to
be: In the academic department, 306; in
the law department, 30; summer law
school, A. medical school, 81; summer
school, 1913. This makes a grand total of
545.
The Senior class last year numbered
45, the largest since the war. Seventy
eight counties in the State were repre-
sented.
The largest representation came from
the following counties: Buncombe
county sent 10 students; Edge
combe county sent 10; Forsyth, %;
Guilford, 10; Mecklenburg, Is;
New Hanover, IS; Orange, 80;
Pitt, ID; Sampson, u; Wake
% Wayne, u; Wilson, IL. Students
were present from ten different
States. The University of North Caro-
lima had the largest number of academic
students in the Southern States, of 63
more than the University of Virginia
This report of President Alderman COW
cred the academic and Internal life of the
institution. The relations between stu
dents and faculty, he said, had been sin
gularly pleasant and rational, and the
institution had been conducted ON a
sound and wholesome basis.
Over one-half the students are sons of
farmers, 314 of them are sons of poor men
to whom their attendance meant self
denial. Some eighty are working their
way through college by all forms Of labor.
Forty are in school as a result of money
earned or borrowed. Forty are aided by
loans
The report further shows that nearly
900 young men have received some aid
by loans and scholarships in the last
twenty years.
The income Of the University. Or. Al

support it on the present basis, leaving
no margin for improvements in apparatus

to-day by the authorized announcement
that he had accepted the offer of the

He will be in readiness to take charge of
that institution on July /, when the resig
nation of the present president, General
George Washington Custis Lee, takes
effect Meantime Mr.. Wilson viii be oc-
cupied with number of personal matters
which have needed attention for some
time, including addresses before imp0r-
tant gatherings. MS time mostly will be
spent here and at his old home in Charles
town, w. Va. Early next month he viii
go to Lexington and acquaint himself
with the nature of his new duties. The
Office carries a salary cf $1,000 per an
mum and a splendid presidential home
General Lee, whom he succeeds, is a son
Of the distinguished General Robert E.
Lee, who also presided over the Uniyer
sity. The retiring president has occupied
the post ever sice his fathers death,
and the change is necessitated by his ad-
vancing age. Mr.. Wilson had received
several tempting offers offers in a busi-
ness way, and also had seriously consider
ed plans for entering upon a law prac-
ticA in New York City, but his old incli-
nations TO a life in educational circles
finally prevailed upon him to accept the
post at Washington and Lee University,
over which so strong an array of men
have presided.
