FOREWORD (JVC pans G ? ' ong journey and look backward at the stages of ninisee as one grows old, and to recall •with grati- ie one ' s indebtedness to past ages, — such are the tendencies of man thai justify the publication of college annuals, which record the contemporaneous and yet soon belong to the past. The year 1QJJ being the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of North Carolina ' s first constitutional government and the twentieth anniversary of the official history of East Carolina Teachers College, The Tecoan has sought not only to picture the immediate present, but also, by views from the five oldest towns in North Carolina, to call to mind our Colonial history, that period of heroic struggle in which our forefathers laid foundations on which we still build. Naturally we dwell on recent events that brought our college into being. We remember that in TQOS Superintendent !T. II. Rags dale saw the need of trained teachers and that, two years later, the bill embody- ing his vision, written by Governor T. J. Jarvis, and introduced by Senator J. I.. Iteming, all from Pitt County, was passed and ratified. We like to retail that on the second day of July, iqo8. Governor Jarvis, in a simple cermony, broke the ground for the first building of East Carolina Teachers Training School. If ' e go back to the opening of the first session, October 5, pop, •when, with IJ2 students, our president, Mr. Robert H. If right, began the leadership of the Training School. Since that time the growth of the institution is the story of a dream coming true — more buildings, more students, more service, until in 1Q2I the name became East Caro- lina Teachers College. lie would reflect for a moment on its founders, who, walking in the ways of North Carolina ' s early history-makers, followed the motto, To Serve, and handed that motto to us of today and to the comers of tomorrow. In our annual, the Past, the Present, and the Future are as interlinked as in Life itself.
