ntrodudion. H T HE ninth volume of The Hellenian has at last appeared. It is impossible for casual readers to understand or appreciate the undertaking to which we have been assigned. However, in spite of our engrossing college duties, we have done our best, and the result of our labors is before you. If you find defects, be not surprised ; if, perchance, anything worthy, applaud. To Messrs. Bailey, Gwyn and others, we are especiall}- indebted for their kindly interest in contributing many attractive drawings. Especially is it a great pleasure to acknowledge our indebtedness and deep gratitude to Col. J. S. Carr, without whose very substantial aid our book could scarcely have been published. Hoping that this Ninety-eight Hellenian may fulfil its mission in adding yet another tie to our fraternal feeling, and prove a lasting tribute to the memory of Ninety-eight, we are. Respectfully, The Editors.

( he ( ccrgia- arclina (Rebate. THE most important event of the college year — certainly from a purely literary standpoint — is onr annual debate with Georgia. This is an attempt each year to disprove the oft-repeated charge that oratory and debate are in their decadence. There have been two contests. The first meeting was in Georgia last year. North Carolina ' s representatives, David B. Smith and Henry G. Con- nor, Jr., were overpowered by Georgia ' s superior eloquence and skill in re- buttal. But in another year there was to be another debate. The debate for this j ' ear took place in Gerrard Hall, University of North Carolina, on March 4. Mr. Henry A. London presided. Judge Wal- ter A. Montgomer} of the State Supreme Court, ex-Judge Henry G. Con- nor, of Wilson, ex-Congressman Fred A. Woodard, of Wilson, were the judges. Georgia was represented by W. F. Upshaw and J. S. Roberts; North Carolina, by Edward K. Graham and Willis J. Brogden. The ques- tion was, Resolved that the United States annex Hawaii. North Caro- lina had the negative side. The debate was vigorously contested. North Carolina won by superior skill in debate, but to Georgia was yielded the palm for eloquence. In the societies are the influences of these occasions felt, perhaps, to the greatest extent. After the joining of a society was made optional, the numbers had gradually decreased, with last year as a low water mark. This year, under this and other influences, the societies are again at the highest mark of numbers, of power, of efficiency. The debaters become marked men. The honor is worih striving for.
