                <p> The present is a crisis in the affairs of our country that calls for the best
                    services we can render in the tented field if necessary, and if not there, in
                    the sphere in which each one can make himself most useful. Whilst the Faculty of
                    this <name key="name0001146" reg="University of North Carolina" type="organization">Institution</name> have no disposition to quench
                    patriotic ardour, or to withhold from the public service, at the proper time,
                    any one capable of performing the duties of a soldier, they beg leave to
                    intimate to parents and guardians the propriety of restraining the anxiety so
                    natural to the young and inexperienced to rush prematurely into military
                    service. </p>
                <p>Many young men have left us, in most instances under written instructions from
                    home and with our permission and approbation, and in others without our
                    knowledge, and we fear in opposition to the wishes of Parents and Guardians. The
                    latter we hope will return in due time to prepare for the annual examination
                    which will begin on Monday the 27th inst. </p>
                <p>The Faculty are at their posts, endeavoring to discharge their duty faithfully to
                    the young men committed to their charge. There will be no suspension of duties,
                    and no reasonable pains will be spared to render the approaching Commencement
                    attractive. The graduating class is a numerous one and is regarded as embracing
                    talents and attainments which will insure exercises worthy of public attention.
                    The Rev. Dr. <name key="x" reg="x" type="person" rend="">Broadus</name>, is to
                    deliver the valedictory sermon to the Senior Class, and the Hon. <name key="pn0000326" reg="Clingman, Thomas Lanier" type="person" rend="yes">Thomas L. Clingman</name> the annual Address before the two Literary
                    Societies. </p>
                <p>The candidates for degrees, except in cases where for special reasons dispenation
                    has been granted, will be expected to be in attendance by the beginning of
                    Commencement week.</p>
