ALUMNI NEWS IS SIXYEARS OLDBy E. B. 0., 1898

The first issue of ALUMNI NEWS ap-peared about the first day of Novem-ber, 1917. The country was preparingfor war with Germany, and many ofthe graduates and other former stu-dents were rapidly entering the armyfor foreign service. Under such condi-tions the bond of union between theCollege and its old students seemedstronger than ever, and the same wastrue of the ties which bind our Collegemen to one another. For that reasonit seemed that some new means of in-terchange of news had quickly becomenecessary. In order to meet that needit was decided to begin the publicationof a monthly sheet devoted to Alumnimatters.

Mr. Buxton White, our first AlumniSecretary, had gone into the army andhis work, for the time being, hadlapsed. It devolved upon me to under-take the paper, along with my otherduties. President Riddick agreed topay for the printing out of the Collegefunds. We were to print 2,000 copies,but, when the copies arrived, 500 morewere ordered to be distributed amongthe students then in College. PerhapsI made a rather poor showing at first,but the response to the effort was mostencouraging, and the paper went on,first with four pages and later witheight. One of the most assuring thingsabout it' was the response of the menin the camps, to whom the paper wassent with as much accuracy as possible.Some of the letters from men in thefront lines in France indicated a .verygratifying degree of appreciation.

The paper, from the beginning, hasemphasized the value of personal news,particularly about the Alumni—theirwhereabouts, their achievements, andtheir successes. In that sense it is, andhas been, a newspaper “of the Alumniand for the Alumni.”The financial support has always

been supplied by the College becausethe administration believes in the value"of a close union of the Alumni—once aState College man, always one. Itseems to me that the paper has servedits purpose wonderfully in helping tokeep alive a spirit of loyalty among themen for their Alma Mater.During the six years the paper has

been in the hands of three men. Mr.Buxton White returned to civil lifeabout. May 1, 1919, and resumed hisduties as Alumni Secretary. I was,

RANDOM SKETCHES OFCOLLEGE HISTORY

By E. B. OWEN, ’98That must have been a rare company

of boys who entered the Freshman classin October, 1889—seventy-two young-sters, mostly country boys, from aboutforty North Carolina counties. Collegeboys they were, but without chart orcompass. No Sophomores to tease themand haze them, no Juniors to be theirfriends and tell them about the newthings and the new people at College,and no Seniors to play the great man!They could be “fresh” to their hearts’content, with no one to molest nor makethem -afraid.

It would take the. facile pen of RedBuck, who was one of them, to tellabout it all; but he was not the onlycelebrity, and his stay was short. Aman like Sam Asbury or C‘. B. Williamsknows the history of those days. Thenthere was Henry Bonitz, Robert Allen,W. H. Turner, Luke Yarbrough, “Doc-tor” Francks, Frank Meacham, Ed. Gib-bon, Charlie Holladay, Joe Knight,Walter Matthews, Frank Sawyer, Char-lie Utley, Sam Young, and many otherswhose names are indissolubly linkedwith the college and all princes amonggood fellows.But what did they do in this country

place? For Raleigh was, in a sense,much farther away than it is now.There were no electric cars and no au-tomobiles, in fact but little transporta-tion except the “ankle express,” unlesswe except the mule cars which came asfar as Saint Mary’s. The city limitsthen were at Saint Mary’s Street. Hills-boro Street and Hillsboro Road wereabout as muddy in winter as roads everget to be. It was no uncommon sightto see wagon wheels in the mud up tothe axles. That was especially true of .the roads between the College and SaintMary’s. especially along by Park Ave-nue and Ashe Avenue. The boys did,of course, have a few acquaintances inthe city but, being mostly country boys,did not mix very much for the first fewyears with the city of Raleigh.

I have found no printed statementanywhere of the curriculum for thefirst year. The general catalog of 1890does not give it, and one can find thelist of studies only for the first year byexamining the old grade book, whichis still in good preservation. Here arethe studies which all of these Fresh-men pursued for the first year, forthere was then, and for several yearsthereafter, only one set of studies forall the Freshmen, that is, all Fresh-men had the same work. They werefor the first year Horticulture, Mathe-matics, Mechanics, English, History,and Agriculture—six studies. Therewould seem to have been only one term,as only one set of grades are entered,as if there had been no midterm ex-aminations at all. The credits are en-tered “Ex.,” “Pass,” “Cred,” and“Fail.” No numeral grades are setdown except the numeral averages run-ning all the way from 66.2, the lowest,to 88.2, the highest. 'But I set out to discuss the curricu-

lum, which is found in the catalog of1890. Here it is. Only two four-yearcourses were then offered in the tableof studies. One is for the four yearsof the course in Agriculture; the other

"‘.is for the four years of the course inMechanics. No mention is here madeof Engineering at all, and there is nomention of Engineering for severalyears afterwards. The course is usu-ally spoken of as the MechanicalCourse, or as the course in Mechanics.It seems to be in line with the name ofthe college, as it was in those days,that is, The North Carolina College ofAgriculture and Mechanic Arts, thename by which the college was knownuntil about 1917, when the Legislatureordered it to read, “The North Caro-lina State College of Agriculture andEngineering.”FOR THE FOUR YEARS OF THE

20 52The Future

Nov. 3—Davidson at Charlotte.Nov. 10—V. P. I. at Norfolk, Va.Nov. 17—Maryland at Raleigh.Nov. 24—Wake Forest at Raleigh.Nov. 29—Wash. & Lee at Norfolk.

At this writing the football team hasreached the midway station of itsschedule, and in the five games played,the record stands as written, with twovictories against three defeats. Theteam has scored 20 points and its 0p-ponents have piled up 52.

It is only fair to say, however, thatin some respects, at least, the squad hasshown improvement since the openingdays of the season, but it is a questionas to whether or not the team will de-velop sufiicient power in the five gamesyet to be played to redeem a seasonwhich has started out disastrously.With Davidson, V. P. 1., Maryland,Wake Forest, and Washington and Lee,following in order, it looks like a long,rocky road ahead.Toovmuch cannot be said in praise

. of the splendid spirit displayed this-year«by the student body. Forced togive their allegiance to a team which

has been a bitter disappointment, thestudent body has loyally stood by theteam in every game played. The writeris inclined to think that this revival ofCollege spirit is. one of the most en-couraging things that has happened inrecent years. It cannot be denied that,as the College has expanded along alllines and grown larger, there has beena tendency on the part of the studentbody to seek its amusements and diver-sions elsewhere than on the Collegecampus. Being located in a town thesize of Raleigh, foo ‘Often we have beencriticised for the fact that our studentsare prone to visit the city at every op-portunity, and as. a consequence therehas been, unquestionably, a lesseningof interest on their part in various Col-lege activities, including athletics.In justice to the students, however, itmust be said that during the past few

years our athletic teams, by their poorshowing, have given the student bodyvery little cause for rejoicing. Thefootball team this year has started outin the same old way, but somebody orsome agency has succeeded in instillinginto ourstudents a desire to stand bythe team regardless of the results ofthe games, and as a result there isabroad on the campus as fine a spiritas will be found anywhere in the coun-try.And this same spirit is certain tobring gratifying results. The time isnot very distant when a Tech team willbe feared once more on any gridironwhere it stamps its collective cleat.We are carrying in another columnof this issue the story of the State-

Carolina game play by play. It is need-less to attempt to analyze just here thecauses underlying our poor showing,but this much can be said, however:Every man on the football squad is giv-

ing his best efforts, and every manis training to the best of his ability.The work of the team on the field,in many ways, is crude and unfinished.The material is good, with much of itgreen and inexperienced, it must be ad-mitted, but judging by its size, speed,and “looks,” our team should be theequal of any in this section.

The Freshman TeamCoach Homewood started his train-ing season with 131 candidates for theFreshman team. Comparatively fewof these men were players of highschool experience, the majority beingmen who were attempting the game forthe first time, or ones with limited ex-perience from obscure schools Withoutcoaches. The material was light.To date the team has played twogames, losing both, the first to Rock-ingham High School by a score of 7-0,and the second to Mars Hill College bythe margin of a single touchdown, 6-0.Speaking of the squad as a whole, thenumber of men who look to be of var-sity caliber for another season is muchsmaller than last year, but there are afew who should make the grade. Inthe back field Austin, Nash, McAuleyand Home are real prospects, while inthe line Nicholson and Lambe, in theguard positions, and Coley and Peatree,the tackles, should develop into capa-ble forwards.The Yearlings will play several moregames during the season, meeting theDavidson Freshmen at the PinehurstFair early in November, the CarolinaFreshmen at Rosemary on ArmisticeDay, Oak Ridge at home some timelater, and the Trinity Freshmen, prob-ably at Wilmington, on 'December 1.

A NEW MEMBER OFTHE FACULTY

A. S. Brower Joins Staff. Of Busi-ness Administration School toConduct Investigations IntoCollege Cost AccountingA. S. Brower, director Of finance and

certification Of the State Department OfEducation, on November 1 became amember Of the Faculty Of the SchoolOf Business Administration with a rankOf Professor. Mr. Brower will havecharge Of the computation Of costs infarming, engineering, and other Opera-tions Of the College affecting our agri-culture and industrial life.The new position was created re-

cently by the executive committee ofthe Board Of Trustees. One great pur-pose Of this department is to acquaintthe College administration, the facultyand students, and especially tO informthe farmers and other citizens Of theState with the cost of farm Operationsand manufacturing processes. The Col-lege farm and the five text farms lO-cated in different sections Of the Statewill be used in supplying the basis for

. these calculations dealing with agri—culture and the experiment station Ofthe Engineering School will furnishbasic facts for similar investigationsalong industrial lines.The results Of Mr. Brower’s investi-

gations will be used as the basis formuch Of the instruction in the Schoolof Business Administration. He willalso supervise the purchasing Of sup-plies for the College.Mr. Brower, under two superinten-

dents Of public instruction, Dr. Brooksand J. Y. Joyner, was director offinance for the State Department OfEducation, and calculated the unit costOf our schOOl system on which the lawsaffecting the disbursement Of publicschool funds are based. He is an AB.graduate Of Trinity College, Class Of1913. '

A. S. Brower, for several years ac-countant for the State Department OfEducation, and more recently given thetitle Of director Of finance and certifi-cation in the department—the title notdenoting a change in work so much as abelated effort tO extend recognition,accompanied by a little something onaccount, to one Of the most consistentemployees who ever handled a tiresomeand responsible job for the State OfNorth Carolina—has been called out tOState College by President E. C. BrOOksto compute the cost Of the College’sOperations in farming, engineering andother activities. 'TO those who are familiar with Mr.

Brower’s work and his indispensa-bility to the heads Of the DepartmentOf Education under whom he hasserved, Dr. Brooks’ appointment Of himtO the new position is no surprise. Ad-mitting that there was work in Mr.Brower’s line tO be done—and the ex-ecutive committee Of the State Collegetrustees, being composed Of men ofaffairs, must have welcomed the sug-gestion Of the President that a cost in-vestigation be made—the job was his ifhe would take it.The work which is to be undertaken

promises tO be Of considerable value to

the people Of the State as a whole; tOState College its value will be inestima-ble. The right man has been foundfor it.

Mr. Brower takes professorial rank—we believe that is the way top wages inthe faculty are spoken Of. This isgood. Were the College to hire him bythe day and pay him for the overtimehe will put in, his wages would be thesubject Of legislative investigation.

Occasionally, in spite Of the tendencyOf education and its administration tOmake non-financiers Of those who en-gage therein, there is developed an edu-cator who can talk dollars and centsjust like folks. State College in A. S.Brower has acquired the services Ofsuch a man.We note that his job with the State

is going to be split between two men.—Editorial, The Raleigh Times.

MORE ABOUT SUGISHITADuring the early summer the Alumni

Secretary, through the assistance Ofthe American Ambassy, at TOkiO, suc-ceeded in locating Mr. T. Sugishita,BS, 1898, from whom we had notheard since the Russo—Japanese War in1904. A letter from the AmericanCharge de Affaires giving informationabout Mr. Sugishita was published inone Of the summer numbers Of ALUMNINEws and later Mr. Sid Alexander OfCharlotte wrote to Mr. Sugishita andreceived the following reply from hisnephew, Mr. S. Hara:

TOkiO, Japan, August 24, 1923.Mr. Sid B. Alexander,

Charlotte, N. C.Dear Sir :—In reply tO your kind

letter addressed to your Old collegefriend, Mr. T. Sugishita, I, a nephew ofhim, wish to write tO you a few linesfor him.You kindly asked him tO write you

how he is getting along Of late. I amvery sorry to say that he is now in

(bed, being suddenly stricken by “Cere-bral Hyperaemia”—congesti0n Of thebrain—last December. For some timehis life was despaired Of, but he issomewhat improved in health, but atthe present he is unable to speak andis confined to his bed.

Since he graduated from the NorthCarolina State College about fifteenyears ago, he returned to Japan andengaged in Agriculture and raw silktrade. He recently came up to theCapital and located at NO. 11 Kawada-chO, Ushigome-Ku, Tokio.

Yours very truly,(Signed) S. HARA,

FALL MEETINGSLee County

An enthusiastic meeting was held inthe Chamber of Commerce rooms atSanford, on the evening of October 2nd,by members of the State CollegeAlumni Association, the following beingpresent: W. McP. Holt, R. E. Carring-ton, Jr., Dr. J. 1. Neal, D. B. Worth,G. L. McNeill, L. C. Rosser, F. B. Brinn,W. T. Temple, M. T. Heins, and R. F.Giersch. After a round table discus-sion of old State College, a resolutioncommittee was appointed to draw reso-lutions commending Dr. E. C. Brooksfor his fine work at the College. Thiscommittee was composed of Mr. D. B.Worth, Mr. Max Heins, and Mr. F. B.Brinn, who returned the following,which was adopted by the body:“Whereas Dr. E. C. Brooks has been

elected to the Presidency of the NorthCarolina State College, we, the LeeCounty Alumni Association, in body as-sembled, wish to congratulate him onhis election. We hope that the Collegewill enjoy steady growth under his ad-ministration, for we think that the Col:lege. is indeed fortunate in having thebest man in the State as head of theinstitution. We are back of him inevery move, and hope to have him meetwith us at an early date.”The meeting then adjourned subject

to the call of the president.Richmond County

The annual meeting of the RichmondCounty North Carolina State CollegeAlumni Association was held at theSeaboard Hotel, Hamlet, N. C., on Fri-day night, October 5th. After a verydelightful meal, served in Seaboardstyle, which was enjoyed by every mem-ber present, the meeting was called toorder by the president, Mr. VanceSykes, for business.Following the reading of the minutes

of the last meeting, the question ofofficers for the next year was taken upwith the following results: President,William Harry Entwistle, Rockingham,N. C.; Vice-President, John W. Sexton,Hamlet, N. C.; Secretary-Treasurer,S. O. Bauserfeld, Jr., Hamlet, N. C.Under the head of the Entertainment

Committee the place and time for thenext meeting was left to the officers.We were very much delighted to have

with us at this meeting the Alumni Sec-retary, Tal H. Stafiord, who talked tous very entertainingly for a few min-utes on what was beingdone at theCollege.Those enjoying the supper and talks

were J. W. Sexton, W. H. Entwistle,J. F. Diggs, Vance Sykes, C. W. Owens,T. G. Monroe, M. L. Mathews, WilliamBagwell, S. O. Bauersfeld, Jr., andNathan W. LeGrand.After a vote of thanks to Mr. Cape-

hart, manager of the hotel, and a heartyWau-Gau-Rac, the meeting adjournedto meet again at the call of the presi-dent.

Tidewater, VirginiaThe fall meeting of the North Caro-

lina State College Alumni Associationof Tidewater, Va., was held in the Fair-fax Hotel in Norfolk, Saturday night,October 6, at 8 p. m. It was one of themost interesting meetingsheld by theassociation in some time.

A committee was appointed to drawup resolutions endorsing Dr. Brooks.The members of the association clearlyshowed that they were in favor of anychange that would prove beneficial tothe College, each member being anx—ious to see North Carolina State thelargest and most influential institutionin North Carolina. .The football teams put out the lasttwo seasons were freely criticised andthe oflEicers of the association weredirected to write the athletic councilconcerning the coaching staff now re-sponsible for the North Carolina StateCollege teams.The ofl‘icers elected for the comingyear were R. V. Terry, president; W. S.Haywood, vice-president; A. G. Phelps,secretary-treasurer. All the new offi-cers are with the Newport News Ship-building and Dry Dock Company.

Wake CountyWith President E. C. Brooks as theprincipal speaker, the Wake Countychapter of the General Alumni Associa-tion of State College resumed itsmonthly meetings, which were sus-‘pended during the summer months,with a supper gathering at the BlandHotel, on the evening of October 12.' The following officers were elected toserve for the next year: President,John S. McDonald, ’03; Vice-President,L. R. Gilbert, ’07; Secretary-Treasurer,S. L. Homewood, ’20.The retiring president, W. F. Pate,’01, presided at the meeting and actedas toastmaster. After the transactionof regular business, the Wake Countychapter, through the efforts of Mr. Mc-Donald, presented the football teamwith twenty handsome maroon blank-ets, bordered in white, with the Collegemonogram in the center.In beginning his address, in which hesought to give the Alumni present some-thing of the aims and purposes of theCollege as it has recently been reorgan-ized, Dr. Brooks paid a glowing tributeto the student body which he charac-terized as “as fine a body of youngmen as you will find on any campus inthe country.”“The name of the institution itself,”said Dr. Brooks, “carries with it some-thing of the purpose of the institution.It is my most profound conviction that,so far as the agricultural side of theCollege is concerned, we have an oppor-tunity to work out right here in NorthCarolina an experiment in agriculturaleducation which will serve as a pace-maker for the nation.”

Urges Experimental WorkGoing somewhat into detail on thisparticular point, Dr. Brooks stated thatall of the agricultural agencies of theState, that is, the College Departmentof Agriculture, the Extension Serviceand the Experiment Station, should beso organized that the instruction inagriculture may be based upon experi-mentation rather than theory from text-books, and that the College farm andthe test farms of the State should bemade to serve as a model‘for everyfarmer in North Carolina. “We mustdemonstrate on these farms,” he con-tinued, “that the practice of agriculturecan be made to pay. To this end theBoard of Trustees of the College,through its executive committee, hasauthorized the employment of a busi-

ness manager, Whose duty shall be tokeep a careful record of the cost ofevery operation on the College farm, sothat information may be constantlyavailable to the farmers of the Stateon the financial side of the business offarming.”Dr. Brooks also touched upon theengineering branch of the College andadvocated the building of an exhibithall, open to the public throughout theentire year, in which would be dis-played, not only the handiwork of StateCollege men, but all of the naturalresources of the State. He also empha-sized the need for continuing instruc-tion in the cultural subjects in orderthat a, graduate of the College mayleave its doors after having had anopportunity to obtain a culture as broadas that offered in any similar institu-tion in the land.The social sciences, Dr. Brooks said,should not be neglected, for it is essen-tial that the technically trained manunderstand the great human relation-ships before he can hope to handle suc-cessfully the problems of the mill, thefactory, and the farm.The president, in his first meetingwith the local Alumni organization,made a profound impression upon itsmembers, and at the close of his ad-dress he was accorded an ovation.The meeting closed with the singingof College songs, lead by John Park.

New Hanover CountyThe New Hanover County State Col-lege Alumni Association, which metFriday evening, October 5,‘ for its semi-annual banquet, was very fortunate inhaving as its guest from the College,Sammy Homewood, whose ability as afootball player, track and basketballman needs no introduction to StateCollege men.One of Sammy’s many talents, how-ever, has apparently been kept hiddenall of these years. It’s that of oratory,and he was accorded a considerableovation. As he warmed up Fridaynight, he shot us the “real 'old stufi.”His news items concerning develop-ments in the College proper, and thosepertaining thereto, were most interest-ing and instructive and heartily wel-comed.Our association of fifty-five menstands ready to take on new life in,this section, and at present is very muchinterested in a game of football whichwe hope can be arranged between theState second team and the second stringmen of Trinity, the game to be playedhere Thanksgiving Day. A committeewas appointed to work out details forthis occasion, and we understand thattheir plans are well under way. Theassociation decided to underwrite theexpense of bringing the teams here fora game, and the local Trinity AlumniAssociation, it is understood, has voteda similar measure. ,Officers for the next year were electedas follows: President, D.

zation meeting were furnished by Ray-mond Crowder, the secretary.

Realizing the good work which canbe accomplished in this section, andthe need of a local chapter of the Gen-eral Alumni Association of State Col-lege in the city of Pittsburgh, Mr. andMrs. W. T.

Messrs. Hurtt 'and Mial, who outlinedthe possibilities and opportunities ofthe organization. They also reviewedthe previous attempts to organize aPittsburgh chapter, and pointed out indetail the weak factors in the priorattempts and explained the remedy.Therefore, this organization has thebenefit of previous experience, andsince “forewarned is forearmed,” ‘nodifficulty is anticipated in keeping upinterest and “pep.”Mial made a motion that meetings be

held every sixty days. This motionwas seconded by Stainback, who alsosuggested that the chapter secure arecord of all new men who come to thissection and carefully follow these mento see that they do not lose their Col-lege spirit and enthusiasm.

William G. Allen, Class of 1897Mr, William G. Allen, prominent

Raleigh real estate man, died at RexHospital, in Raleigh, on October 16,from injuries received in an automobileaccident near Raleigh the precedingweek.The following editorial is from the

Raleigh News and Observer:Will G. Allen’s death from the auto—mobile accident of last Thursday after-

noon is lamentable. His numerousfriends, and many who did not evenknow him, have been hoping from thebeginning that his life would be spared,but it has been known from the firstexamination of his injuries by physi-cians that he had only the slightestchance of recovery. He and hisbrother, Daniel Allen, have been influ-ential factors in the growth of Raleigh.They worked together, and it is noteasy to differentiate between them.They did big things in a big way, andthey £have been generous and public-spirited to a marked degree. Much isowed to them both. To the survivingmember of this strong and resourcefulfirm, and to all the family, there goesout keen sympathy from the wholecommunity.
