The various departments of Uni
versity life have undergone greater
change during the past ten years
than can be ordinarily understood
by those who have not personally
visited Chapel Hill. The University
with its graduate and collegiate de-
rartments, and the schools of min
ing, law. medicine. pharmacy and the
Summer school offer such varied pur-
suits of study as are to be found
only in the greatest educational insti
tutions Of America.
Aside from those departments of
the University with which the gen.
eral public is familiar, there is most
valuable work under the charge of
learned instructors, who are accepted
in the scientific world.

hundred and ninth session of the uni
Versity, DR.. Venable said to me:
From the correspondence to date,
the inquiries for catalogues, the en-
gagements of rooms, and the aSSur-
ances from old students and particu-
larly from those who have been care
fully preparing for entrance to the
University, we are confident that the
coming year will be the greatest in
the history of the University. The
attendance has steadily grown each
year during the present administra-
tion and we have sufficient assurances
to justify the prediction that every
phase of life at the University will
show an even more advanced spirit
with the opening in September"
That is the way DIR. Venable talks
of the coming year. The same opin-
ion is held by every member of the
faculty with whom ] have talked,
and this same spirit pervades the en-
tire Hill.
People here are proud of the Var
sity's historic past. They appreciate
the University of days gone by and
pay full tribute to the roll of honor
of the State of North Carolina, which
is almost a roster of distinguished
alumni of the University. But peo-
pie here are inclined to put aside
the historic Hill for the new and ad-
vanced Varsity. There is such diff
ference that OLD alumn1 returning
after years of absence look upon this
time honored and sacred seat of learn
ing with Increased qualification. Once
classic only, now many-sided in it's
life and lending help, giving strength
and building character for every
walk of life the University has grown

this department and at present the
entire upper stories of the New East
building are devoted to the labora-
tories. DR.. Henry V. Wilson, Profess
sor of Biology, has just completed
for the United States Government
valuable monograph on the subject
of sponges. DR.. Wilson is an accepted
gical work, and the government re-
fers to him with distinction in this
branch of scientific work. A part of
the work of the department under DR..
Wilson is to aid in the training of
medical students in the branches of
histology and general biological work
and this greatly adds to the strength
of the medical department.
In the Department of English North
.Carolinians are glad to note the con-
tinuance of DR.. Charles Alphonso
Smith as professor of English lam
guage. The call which was extended
to him to preside over the University
Of Tennessee, one of the best insti-
tutions of learning in the South and
his decision to remain in North Car
olina, the compliment paid DR.. Smith
by another State and the compliment
he paid the State of his nativity have
given pleasure to all. The depart
ment of English is one of the strong
est manned departments in the South.
Drs. Hume and Smith. Prof. Gra-
ham. Mr. Bernard and Mr.. McKie
unite in making an enviable reputa-
ton for this department.
The student begins his freshman
year with thorough work in English
composition, being given three or four
themes each week. This work is con-
tinued in the sophomore year and de-
veloped into the higher branches of
literature in the junior year. When
the English course at the University
has been completed the student is
master of his own language.
In the Department of Chemistry
the University will maintain it's es-
tablisned standard. 1t is recognized
throughout the world for the work
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1904-07-31

which has been turned out from the
laboratories at Chapel Hill, where
unusually brilliant experimental work
has been recorded and President
Venables name is an authority IN
this branch of scientific work. Or.
Venable will as usual give his per-
sonal attention to the Department OF
Chemistry, and while the University
regrets the loss Of DR.. Charles Bask-
erville the Smith Professor of General
and Industrial Chemistry, provision
will be made to sustain the reputation
of the University of North Carolina
in this important department.
A matter of pride is the uniformly
high standing taken by graduates of
the Medical Department of the Uni
versity. The work in the department
at Chapel Hill and in the depart
ment at Raleigh is of the highest
standard and compares favorably with
the work of the most important medi-
cal colleges of the North. 1t has boen
an invariable rule in this State that
graduates of the University depart
ment of medicine take first rank in
the examinations before the State
Board of Medical Examiners The
growth of this department has been
phenomenal. Twelve years ago the
department had less than ten students
and this year there have been over
eighty regular students working for
the degree of M. ID. At Chapel Hill
the department is under the dean of
the Medical College, Dr. r. II. White
head, while at Raleigh the dean is
DR.. Hubert A. Royster.
1t is a fact that there is greater
deman1 today for first class phar-
macists than can be supplied, but it
is not due to the lack Of opportunity
for young men to properly pre-
pare themselves for excellent posi-
tions. The department of Pharmacy
at the University is under the imme-
date charge of the dean, DIR. Ed
ward Vernon Howell, one of the ablest
instructors in his profession. Under
his supervision the work of this de-
partment is thorough and efficient.
Students in this department have
upheld the reputation of the Univer-
sity in other lines and have taken
first places in the examinations be-
fore the Board of Pharmacy ever
since the department first turned out

graduate. All have secured good
positions and the department is due
much credit for it's work of raising
the standard of pharmacists seeking
positions with the North Carolina
trade. Last year there were So stu
dents in this department, which re-

promises to be even stronger this
year than heretofore. 1t is n mat

other States when applying for license

One feature of the life of the Uni
versity of North Carolina which ap-
peals to all classes and is deserving
of the great praise which it receives
on all sides, is the work of the liter
ary societies. The brilliant record
established by winning all of the three
debates with Vanderbilt University,
both of the two with Johns Hopkins
and four out of seven with the Uni

nine won out of twelve. has reflected

President Francis p. Venable is

steady growth of the past few years
and the promise of another progress

calculated to make those who are

due to the indefatigable interest he
took in public instruction and he is
known today as the father of our pub
lie school system. On December 18th,
1916, Judge Murphey, in behalf of the
educational committee, submitted to
the Legislature, a report urging the
of a ''judicious system of
public education" This report, draft
ed by himself is worthy of close study.
The first part is devoted to a learned
dissertation upon the benefits Of edu
cation and the needs of the Universi-
ty of North Carolina. Following this,
are suggestions for q school system.
This general system" says the re-
port, must include q graduation Of
schools regularly supporting each 9TH
er, from the one in which the first ru-
diments of education are taught to
that in which the highest branches of
sciences are cultivated. 1t is to the
first schools in this gradation that
your committee beg leave to draw the
attention of the Legislature at this
time because in them will be taught
learning indispensable to all-reading
writing, and arithmetic These
schools must be scattered over every
section of the State, for in them edu-
cation must be commenced, and in
them it will terminate as to one half
the community. They will be the
most expensive to the State; but they
will be the most useful inasmuch as
all the citizens will be taught in them
and many of the citizens are destined
never to pass into any other"
No action was taken by this Legis-
lature on the subject, except that
Judge Murphey was appointed chair
man of a committee to investigate the
subject more fully and report at next
session. He was much interested in
his subject, and, before submitting his
report in 1917, he not only made a
careful study of education in the New
England States, but he also visited
