Chapel Hill, Jan. 28—Assemblyman Rufus A. Doughton of Alleghany county drove over from Raleigh today to pay a few hours visit to the University and Chapel Hill. It was the first time he had been here in two years. With Dr. Charles H. Mangum he walked about the campus and looked at the new buildings.

They visited the room, number five in the old west building, where Mr. Doughton lived when a student in 1880. He found that the student now occupying it was from Yadkin county, not many miles from his home in Alleghany.

In talking with Dr. Mangum Mr. Doughton recalled many of the men with whom he had been associated here 43 years ago, among them Charles B. Aycock, Locke Craig, Charles D. McIver, John A. McIver, Edwin A. Alderman, James Y. Joyner, and M.C.S. Noble.
