The University in Service to the People of the State SINCE the early times of its establishment the University has been serving the State of North Carolina. Students have all along, from 1795 to the present time, received within the familiar campus walls a training and an ambition which in later life have enabled them to become leaders, and in this capacity to mould and raise the hfe of the people of the State. This kind of serv- ice is best exemplified in the services rendered North Carolina by such men as lurphey, Wiley, Vance, and Aj ' cock. By strengthening these men in their for- mative years for the task of leadership, the University served the State effectively and well. This same kind of direct, helpful service is going on today. Young men are being trained in the University now who will in the next few years be leaders in North Carolina. But it is of another and different kind of service that this article desires to treat. It has been said that every State University ' s rightful work is twofold. As a part of a great State ' s educational system the University should set stand- ards and train men vithin its o vn walls, and it should carry its knowledge out into the State and apply it it in creative helpfulness. In this latter class of work the University of North Carolina is deeply interested at the present time. To such an extent is this the case that under the inspiring leadership of Presi- dent E. K. Graham the ambition of the University — which is daily being ham- mered by a constructive program into an actuality — demands that the University have a direct and helpful relation with every community and every person in North Carolina. A truly statewide ministry of service, and nothing short of this is planned. In order to carry out this purpose, the University has established its Bureau of Extension. Working in the main through this Bureau, the University is find- ing its way into the schools, the churches, the homes, the factories, and the busi- ness houses everjTvhere in North Carolina. The work of the Bureau has been separated into several divisions bj ' the Director, Dr. L. R. Wilson, and these will be taken up in order, together with other features of University activity

The University in Seri ' ice to the People of the State which especially touch the State, irrespective of whether they are parts of the Bureau ' s regular scheme or not. GENERAL INFORMATION The Bureau of Extension attempts to give, through loans from the Library and information secured from members of the Faculty and students, answers to any and all questions which may be asked it. That there is a big need for just such W ' Ork as this is shcmi by the fact that, during the past year, the Bureau loaned 532 books from the Liljrary, sent out 1,997 copies of bulletins w hich had been prepared to answer general and specific questions, and mailed replies to 1,714 letters of inquiry. Dr. L. R. Wilson says that scarcely a township in North Carolina has failed to be reached in some one of these ways. DEBATE AND DECLAMATION It is the ol)ject of the University to stimulate public discussion and debat- ing in every section of the State. This it does in large part through the High School Debating Union of North Caro- lina. This Union was organized by the Di and Phi Societies and the Bu- reau of Extension, during the year 1912-13. The subject discussed that year was woman suffrage, and the enrollment of schools was ninety. In the final contest at Chapel Hill the Aycock Memorial Cup was won by the Pleasant Garden High School. In 1913-14 the subject discussed was that of the initiative and rcrereudum, and the enrollment of schools was one hundred and fifty. The Winston-Salem High School w on the Aycock Cup in the final contest at Chapel Hill, which was staged in Memorial Hall on April 3rd, before an audience of two thousand.
