INTPODUCTION. i i) 40i ' EFORE the reader has finished looking over this elev- enth volu me, he will find that it differs very mater- ially from The Hellenian that has heretofore made its yearly appearance. For the past ten years the Greek Letter Fraternities have been making an effort to pub- lish a college annual that would represent fully every phase of our university life. On account of the lack of both financial and moral support of the larger part of the students, it has been necessary to change our policy and narrow the range of our attempt. We here present to you a book which is intended to represent only the fraternities and such other matter that we saw fit. The name remains the same, but now stands rather for a fraternity hand-book of the University of North Carolina, than for the college annual which has been previously attempted. THE EDITORS.

Among the great educators of the country, Dr. Alderman is not without honor. He is an honorar}- member of the Maryland Historical Society, and a member of the National Education Association ; author of the Life of William Hooper, and A Brief History of North Carolina. In June, 1899, the Tulane University of Louisiana, conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. ; and in April, 1900, called him to the presidency, made vacant by the death of Colonel William Preston Johnston. As president of the University of North Carolina, Dr. Alderman has taken rank with the very best college presidents of America. Under his management there has been a steady increase in the number of students, the income of the University, and the number of volumes in the library. Many of the stately old dormi- tories of earlier days have been remodeled and beautified without destroying their historic effect ; the Alumni and Law Buildings have been completed, and the Library Building renovated and refurnished. The greatest tribute to his worth as an executive is his creation of a wonderful unity of purpose and action among the Faculty ; a high college spirit among the students, and an unflinching faith in his ability to lead to grea ter things on the part of the Faculty, students and trustees. Should he leave us to go to the larger institution, his departure from his Alma Mater will be a great calamity to the cause of education. Students, Faculty and trustees have made every effort to retain his services, and the press of the State is outspoken against his giving up. For the past eighteen years his eloquent voice has plead for education in nearly every county in North Carolina ; and at many of the national gatherings of educators he has been a prominent figure. An editor of one of the Western educational journals, who heard his speech before the National Superintendents ' Association in Chicago last February, calls him the foremost educational orator of the nation.
