orei orewori TO present to our fellow- students a record of their achievements and life on the campus for the past year in its entirety. To bring the people of this great State closer, to their University. To, perhaps, awaken in the heart of some old Carolina Man , remem- brances of happy college days spent here. The Editorial Staff has this as its purpose in the 1920 issue of the Yackety Yack.

At City College his department grew from two hundred and fifty students in 1904 to one thousand, four hundred and eleven in 1919. The Campus, a publication of City College, in the 1919 December issue, reviewing the progress of the chemical department since 1904, headlines the fact, Dr. Baskerville Starts New Era. In recent years, Dr. Baskerville ' s scientific interest has taken an industrial turn and he is now a factor in the chemical policies of several large enterprises. He established the Baskerville Products Company which supplied a part of the anaesthetics used by America in the war. Carolinium and Berzelium which he explored, and which exhibited characteristics of elements, were adjudged oxides by reviewing chemists. Dr. Baskerville has made other and unquestioned contributions to the science and application of chemistry, among which are investigations in the chemistry of anaesthetics, the application of radium in medicine, processes for refining oils, hydrogenation of oils, plastic compounds, and re- enforced lead. He has held important offices in the American Chemical Society, such as Chairman of the Committee on Occupational Diseases, and Chairman of the New York Section, which is the largest section in the society. He has published books on inorganic chemistry and radio-activity. Born in Mississippi in 1870, schooled there and at Virginia, Vanderbilt, and Berlin, it was at Chapel Hill that he won his bachelorhood in science and his doctorate. It was here that he taught for thirteen years, and ft was in the laboratories of the University of North Carolina that he worked long and hard over unheralded test-tubes before he went forth to a high place in science in the City of New York. North Carolina has yet a dearer claim, for in Raleigh he won the hand of Miss Mary Boylan Snow, of a family long associated with the University, who continually cheered and inspired him both when he failed and when his later achievements led to a greater development of American industry and trade. Chapel Hill and the University join the Yackety Yack in the gladness of this dedication of the 1920 Year-book to Charles Baskerville, 1892 — teacher, executive, investigator, author, and industrial expert. The spirit of the University village goes out to him in the midst of his metropolitan labors and claims him as Carolina ' s own. F. P. G.
