The University of North Carolina was chartered by the General Assem- bly of the State in 1789, but the corner stone of the first building. Old East, was not laid until October 12, 1793, the official birthday of the university.

The Uni. | versity of North Carolina is reputed to be the first State university in the United States to begin actual| operation, Activities Interrupted by War. In the year before the Civil War began it had 450 students and & sub- stantial endowment, but the war and the aftermath of reconstruction interrupted its growth and even sus- pended its activities from 1872 to | 1875. Since then, however, it has| steadily grown in size and influence until today the university is among the foremost ranking of State uni- versities, with an enrollment of nearly 8,200, and a faculty of over 300, Approximately 400 alumni of the University .of North Carolina live in Washington and the local alumni chapter includes among its members many prominent leaders in national affairs. —_—— CHEETAH RACES NEXT? LONDON—Sports lovers soon may find a novel source from which to gain | thrills with the report here that chee- | tah racing may become popular. An | English sportsman has been training 10 of these beasts in Kenya and Eng- land and experiments have shown | they can attain a speed of 45 miles | per hour. This is faster time than that of greyhounds or whippets, which | have been clocked at 38 miles per hour at top speed. Just as the dogs must be encour- eged to race by having a mechanical hare galloping before their panting snouts, 5o the cheetahs must also have &n incentive, and this usually is food, preferably on the hoof. It has been found that cheetahs entertain no ani- mosity towards greyhounds, and races between the two types of animals may be used this fall if present plans are Held in China REV. GERARD A.
