- DR. RAYMOND ROSS PATY PRESIDENT PaTy this year took a busman ' s holiday when he accepted a position on the Draft Board : he was a brigade signal officer at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in World War I. From the time when he had to fight for a place at the table with eight other Irish youngsters, Doctor Paty has been preparing himself for better things. After running the gamut of Emory, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, he fol- lowed various and interesting pursuits : social work, teaching (Latin, Bible, English, math, and religious education). Dean of Men at Emory, Director of the NYA for Georgia, and Director of Fellowships for the Julius Rosenwald Fund. If you ever wonder where this easygoing e.xecutive receives inspiration for his infectious laugh and ability to pitch horseshoes without removing the horses, take a look at his family. Foremost in pep and grace is the former Adelaide Martha Pund, of Augusta, Georgia. But so close behind their mother that they could hardly be called seconds come Martha Anne. Mary Pund, and Jane Muse. Al- though only one of the Three Sisters graces college classes, the other two are old enough to know that they have a controlling interest in the matter. President Raymond Ross Paty
