edwin Hnderson jnderman EDWIN ANDERSON ALDERMAN was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, at the opening of the Civil War, and is now in the thirty-ninth year of his age. His childhood and early youth were passed in that old colonial town, but in the autumn of 1S76 the earnest part of his life began with his enrolment at Hethel Military Acad- emy, Fauquier Co., Va., founded and directed by a hero of Gettysburg, Maj. Albert Smith, an l at that time in a highly flourishing condition, one of the bulwarks of pride of that renowned Commonwealth, one of those fountains of strength at which she has nurtured, and still nurtures, so many stalwart sons. Here young Alderman was care- fully trained for college, which he entered in the University of his native State, at Chapel Hill, September, 1878, whence he was graduated in June, ls82. The characteristics of the future President showed themselves clearly in the Under graduate. lyei ,- IVell iind liirihs Lehcn. says Ooethc in that wonderful Proemium. Even then the young collegian seized upon the notion of university life in its fullest and broadest sense, and enriched his experience with all forms of its activity. There, too, he asserted his native qualities as a leader, while his genial ' ' camaraderie made him a zealous and conspicuous member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. On graduation, he closed quickly with the great issue of life, hearing and accept- ing promptly his calling to the walks of education. On the path chosen he has never faltered, but has pressed forward steadily and with remarkable rapidity. In |NS5, while still scarcely more than a fle Igling, he was made Superintendent of Schools at Golds- bom, N. C ' ; in 188( he was elected President of the Teachers ' Assembly; in 1889, State Conductor; in 1S9J, Professor of History and Philosophy of I- ' ducation in the Uni- versity of North Carolina; in 18 ' i6, only fourteen years after graduation, he was unani- mously called to the Presidency of that institution, his . lma Mater. This bare outline attests vividly the extraordinary impression made by Professor Alderntan on the minds of his fellow-citizens, who thus vied together in eagerly lifting him on from high to higher. His administration of this weighty trust was eminently successful. The ancient University felt throughout its frame the thrill of a new life. The attemlance rose not- ably, the income was enlarged, the streams of generosity were opened and began to flow towards it, stately buildings were erected, and in everyway the popular approval sought and found expres-iion. More than all else, however, there was born a lively capiil tie mrf s in all ileparttnents of the institution. l- aculty and students were kindled with a com- mon ardor and common faith, and pressed forward confidently as a unit under such inspiring leadership. To the great regret of the whole people of North Carolina, in Ajiril, 1 IH), the .ad- ministrators of the Tulanc Ivducational I ' und, after long and anxious search, found in him a successor to the lamented President, Col. Wm. Preston Jolin ' iton. In October of the same vear he assumed the duties of his new position. His administration has been marked by many laudable ami hopeful innovations. The new breath was felt instantly in the student body. The languishing athletic life was quickened into vehement activity. The Football team closed an unbroken series of victories without a score against it. A new forensic and literary society, the ■ ' oriim. aroused the (• ' (• i ly Biirkr with the spur of rivalry. The establishment of a system of We lnes(lay lectures was an agreeable novelty, profitable both to the students and to the ])ublic, and forms part of a systematic and sustaine l effort to bring the University into closer touch with the people and to make it speak through their mighty trumpet, the press. To the same end, following at the same time a more and more approved precedent, imparting dignity .ind decorum to its public functions and widening the angle which the UniverMty spans in the jiopular eye, the Academic dress has been introduced for all ollicial occasions. The experimciil was
