Chapel Hill. N. c., Sept 17.-(Special.)
"A reception given by the University
Young Mems Christian Association III
Commons Hall last night to the one hun
dred and fifty new students who have
just entered the University, was great
success. The new president, Mr. T. Gill
bert Pearson, with his assistant, greeted
all cordially and presented them to the
members Of the faculty and ladies. After
Il pleasant welcome and short statement
of the object of the association, he call
ed on President Alderman, Drs. Battle
and Hume, and Rev. ID. j. Currie, who
responded in hearty words of welcome
and social good cheer. Mr.. Ii. H.. Horne,
Il former president Of the association,
now of Harvard, was greeted with APP
plause as he spoke earnestly of what
the Young Mems Christian Association
stands for. the opportunity and privilege
of the student in ii for the expression of
Christ-likeness in him. A pleasant fea-
ture was the serving of light refresh
mcnts. Thus the organized religious
life of the University greets the incOm-
ing new students. The Association CON
ducts short pointed nightly meetings for
praise and prayer. and starts off the
work of the session most favOrably.
Voluntary Bible classes are forming.
To an old student coming back one Of
the most striking improvements is seen
in the Library. The west end entrance
has been closed and the east entrance
under the beautiful Corinthian portico
used entirely Within the reading room
has been shcIved, steel stocks put in and
now that is devoted wholly to records.
The large transverse cases have been
placed parallel with the building, thus
affording more room and uniform light.
With new reading stands, periodical ta-
bles and Il new carpet it presents one of
the most attractive interiors in the Uni
versity. One of the greatest improve
ments is the rearranging of the books,
which has been begun in such Il way
that the different departments catalogue
themselves by having the books arranged
alphabetically upon the shelves. This is
according to the most approved methods
in consulting libraries and a great con
v6nience. The work was begun by Mr..
Il. Wyche, our former librarian who
spent the summer here, now of Texas
University. DIR. Alexander is supervi-
sor and takes great interest in our
