WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD DR. CHARLES DUNCAN Dr. CH. RLES Duncan McIver Founder and Fint President of the Woman ' s College of the University of North Carolina WE gratefully attribute to Dr. McIver the opportunities now afforded the women of our State for obtaining a broad and practical educa- tion. It was through his efforts that the women of North Carolina were brought to a realization of their responsibilities as citizens, but he empha- sized no less the importance of educating a woman for her home. Those who knew hmi well are familiar with his saying: Educate a man and you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a home. ' His plans were not laid for time as we measure it, but the endless years stretched out before his vision and he showed his wisdom when he invested his time and strength in this great work to which he gave his life.

WE ARE ENRICHED TO HAVE HAD DR. JULIUS ISAAC FOUST Dr. Julius Isaac Foust President Emeritus- Woman ' s College of the University of North Carolind JJLIUS I. FOUST came to the college in 1902, and for thirtv-two years he served it: as Dean and Director of the Department of Pedagogy from 1902 to 1906; as President from 1906 to 1934. Under his leadership the institution grew from a small normal school with fewer than five hun- dred students to a standard college with an enrollment in the peak year of more than eighteen hundred students. His was the task of guiding this rapid development: of directing great material expansion, of assembling and unifying a faculty with diversified interests, of enriching the course of study to meet the cultural and professional demands of the times, and, most important of all, of shaping the life and spirit of the college. How wisely and valiantly Dr. Foust wrought is attested by the esteem in which the col- lege is held today. For this long and distinguished service there is gratitude among the thousands of students who know him as their friend and guide and among the people of North Carolina who know him as a great educa- tional statesman.
