An Important Step
The action of the county officers ofWashington County on Monday in pro-viding means for educating deservingyoung men of that county in the agri-cultural course at the State College isone to be highly commended. The boardwas wise in stipulating that young menwho are aided by it will be expected toreturn to their own people after gradu-ation and engage in farming in theirown midst, so that the informationthey have secured may not only behelpful to those who have taken thework in agriculture, but that they maybe agencies for the promotion of betterand more profitable methods of farm-ing throughout the county and section.Can any one conceive of the potentiali-ties of such effort on the part of thosein authority in the different counties
. in the State?A general movement of this kind by
all the counties cannot but result ingreat and ever-increasing good in theagricultural and material advancement
Agriculture is our great-est industry, and the training of youngmen to aid in handling this industryin the most intelligent and efficientmanner is of the highest economic im-portance to our people as a Whole.—News and Observer Editorial.

not the best one of recent. years. hasbeen a fairly successful one. Out oftwenty-three games played we wontwelve and lost eleven. Six of thegames were lost by a one-run margin.“’0 seemed to have had just a little
bit more than our share~ of hard luckduring the season.

A truck hitMurray during the winter and Georgehad trouble with his back all the year.Park was badly smashed 11p when an-other car hit the one in which he wasriding. He is still on crutches. Walker.a big right—hander, started the year ingreat shape. He turned in a three-hit game against Elon on a cold dayin early spring and his arm went lamefor the rest of the year.\Ve have. however. rocked along to
the end. meeting all comers as sched-uled. State can make no claims forthe State championship. as we lost ourseries to both Trinity and \Vake For-est. ‘Ye won the Davidson series.

Credit Where Credit is Due
Alumni News,West Raleigh, N. G.
Mr. Editor :——State College War Rec-ord sheet came to me duly. May I atleast call your attention to one phaseof our war activities that has not beengiven due credit.There are those in the Government
service that have labored under doubleand even quadruple loads during thewar that are not heard from, and willnot be heard from until some one whoknows breaks the news. Not only isthis true, but these services have beencarried on under suspended “normalbefore-war” promotions—and this with-out murmur. Too, many of these werequalified to creditably serve the nationin the ranks as experienced and willingofficers or privates; yet this too wasdenied them the privilege 01'. So whilethe great people were singing the sol-diers and sailors praises, while therailroad, munition and industrial work-ers were handsomely paid, and yet de-manding more, even then and yet thesetireless, unpraised, unrecognized menand women have labored long into thenight and not getting a cent of over-time pay that we hear of the Govern-ment paying for such. And with thisthey were asked to expect no promo-tions or transfers during the periodic!the war. FRANK PARKER, ’07.

To the Man Who Does Things
Box 703,Tucson, Arizona.May 26, 1919.
You remember that final examinationyou thought you» were going to flunk,but passed with a good grade? It wasa mighty happy feeling, and you feltcontented with everything, includingthe “Prof.” You can experience a simi-lar sensation again if you will con-tribute liberally to the Memorial Fundfor State College men who gave theirlives so that your wife, baby, motherand sisters might be saved from thehands of the hellish Huns.
This memorial will be somethingwhich you can be justly proud of, asit will represent the effort which youput forth to show your appreciationfor what your college mates, classmates or room mate did to help freethe world from the grasp of greedyHuns.You can make it a success by putting
into it the same spirit and effort Whichyou have always displayed. You knowwhat happens when you wait for theother fellow to do something which youshould do. Disappointment and failure'is the usual result. Don’t let this hap-pen to the memorial and let these menbe unhonored and forgotten. Show theparents and relatives and the publicthat you are proud of these heroes.What is five, ten, fifteen, twenty-five,
one hundred, or a thousand dollars tobe compared to the man who gave hislife for his country? Will you hesi-tate to give a few dollars to perpetuatethe names and memory of these menwhen they did not hesitate to givetheir lives or to go over the top whenneeded? You can show your appre-ciation by going over the top todaywith a good big check made out to theGeneral Alumni Association, Fund No.8, and sent care Mr. E. B. Owen, Box 1,West Raleigh, N. C.Do it now! Show’em that you still
have the College spirit.Yours most cordially,

M. H. Chedester, 21, Dies inAsheville
Marsh H. Chedester, son of Mr. andMrs. S. H. Chedester, of French BroadAvenue, died yesterday afternoon atthe Mission Hospital.Mr. Chedester was a student of the
State College and had been engaged inmaking aeroplanes in Plainfield, N. J.,until recently when he was sent to amechanics’ school in New York as aninstructor. He came here a few daysago tovisit his parents and became illwhile here. Funeral services will beconducted at the residence this after-noon at 5 o’clock, Rev. Dr. E. K. Mc-Larty officiating—From Asheville Citi-zen, April 28.
Dr. Riddick VindicatedAfter a full and thorough investiga-
tion, the following resolution wasunanimously adopted: ’Whereas, a request has come to the
Trustees from the President of theCollege, and also from a portion of thestudent body, for an investigation ofthe present administration of the Col-lege;And whereas, the Trustees have gone
carefully into the matter, interviewingthe students’ committee severally andas a body, members of the faculty andinstructors and other students, andhave found nothing in the evidenceoffered tending to show any maladmin-istration;And whereas, it is the unanimous
opinion of all those interviewed thatnothing in the charges preferred orsuggested reflects in any way upon theintegrity of any College official:
Therefore, be it Resolved, That it isthe opinion of the Trustees that thedifliculties have arisen from the factthat a portion of the student body hasfailed to appreciate the unsettled con-ditions incident to the fact that theCollege was practically commandeeredby the Government during the war andto the changes necessitated thereby.Resolved further, That the Trustees
feel that the present College adminis-tration merits the respect and confi-dence of the student body, as well asthe people of the entire State.Resolved further, That the Trustees
urge upon the student body the neces-sity for complete cooperation with Col—lege authorities, which is essential forthe proper upbuilding of the institu-tion.

twenty-five years and every ten yearstheieaftei This means that the classesof 1895, 1900, 1905, 1910, and 1915 willhave home-comings at the commence-ment of 1920. If you are a member ofany of these classes it is not too soonto begin laying plans for the success ofyour reunion.
The General Association voted toadopt a standard all-time class ring.The same design is to be used by allclasses, with the one change of numer-als. The Alumni News expects to bein position to publish a picture of theaccepted design and take orders fromall those who have not provided them-selves with class rings with its nextissue.
It developed at. one of the meetingson Alumni Day that there still remainssome doubt among former students whodid not graduate as to their status inthe Alumni Association. We thereforequote “that any former student of the'College. regardless of the length oftime of his stay at the College, iseligible to membership in this associa-tion, conditioned upon his giving hisname and address to the secretary-treasurer.” The College appreciates itsnon-graduates and desires their sup-port and cooperation just as much as itdoes from those who finish. It is avery gratifying fact that large num-bers of these men are fully as inter-ested in the college activities as anygraduate could be.
Every county in North Carolina andevery large city in this country shouldhave its State College Association.These organizations could have a won-derful influence on the future growthand development of this College. Eachorganization should keep in touch withall old N. (l. State men in its territory,and thus greatly simplify the work ofthe Alumni Secretary. When new N. C.State men come into any communitythis organization would greet them andhelp them get established. These localgroups would also be very helpful insecuring desirable positions for ourmen.
October 3d of each year is known asN. (3. State College Day, being the anni-versary of the opening of the College,and every State College Association inthe world should meet on that day.These meetings should be largely socialin nature but much of constiuctivevalue to the College would undoubtedlycome out of them.Every county in this State, as well as
Richmond, Norfolk, Columbia, Atlanta,Birmingham, Nashville,_ New York,Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg, Balti—more, Washington, Paris, London, andmany other large cities should have anactive, hustling N. C. State CollegeAlumni Association.

This session’s enroll-ment was 1,020. We shall not be satis-fied with less next. Think them overand send in your list While it is onyour mind.

given throughout the State to a localagitation at the North Ca1olina StateCollege of Ag1icultu1e and Engineelingwith 1efe1ence to the President incharge of our institution, we, the Gen-eral Alumni Association, in annual ses-sion today, feel and believe that theinterest of the institution imperativelyrequires an expression of our confi-dencein the President of our College.And Whereas it is the unanimous de-
cision of the Alumni Association tomake such statement:
Therefore, be it resolved, that. theGeneral. Alumni Association of theNorth Carolina State College of Agri-culture and Engineering hereby ex-p1esses its continued confidence inPresident Riddick and his administ1a-tion. We know his capabilities, andwhile he has labored under trying warconditions he has discharged his du-ties faithfully, satisfactorily, and capa-bly, and we pledge to him and his ad-ministration our support and cooper-ation.We further direct that copy of this

College of Agriculture and Engineeringhas lost capable and efficient membersof its faculty in all departments dur-ing the past several years on accountof higher salaries offered elsewhere bysimilar institutions;And whereas, in our opinion, other
technical colleges which afford bettersalaries for their teaching forces pre-sent more attractive advantages to stu-dents who are looking for the besttraining in their chosen professions:Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the members of the General Alumni
5
Association, at our annual meeting of1919, respectfully ask the Board ofTrustees of our alma mater to providea salary fund large enough to assurethe best teaching force possible tosecure for this institution.

The progress ofthe campaign has been reported in theAlumni News in the April and Maynumbers: The same form of reportwill appear in the June number.To date, I am able to report that
$4,047.07 have been subscribed. Of thisamount $2,154.07 have been paid. Sub-scriptions are coming along at a rateranging somewhere between thirty andforty dollars per day. Lately therehas been some increase in interest.The committee was greatly encour-
aged one day last week to receive asubscription of one hundred dollarsfrom Mr. Charles Pearson, class of189-1, who now lives at Bradentown,Florida, where he is engaged in drain-age engineering. Two other subscrip-tions amounting to fifty dollars eachhave been received. The average issomewhere between $6.50 and $7 perman.About a week ago a letter was sent
to practically every old student whohad not been solicited. Many of thesemen attended College less than a year.and a large proportion of them are notnow in touch with the College as faras we know. Much of this mail is re—turned undelivered, but the result ofthat effort is extremely gratifying andgives us more hope of final successthan we have for some time felt.
In connection with his report, Mr.Owen explained that the original planof having an advisory committee tofollow up the campaign for funds hadnot been put into effect, but that itwould be done, and that members ofthis committee would be asked to seemen in their. communities who havenot subscribed.
