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.

T IS A PLEASURE TO HAVE DR. FRANK PORTER GRAHAM Dr. Frank Porter Graham President Unhersity of North Cjrolin .t OTUDENT, teacher, superb workman in his chosen field of History, blood-brother in spirit to all who labor upward anywhere, militant pioneer on the frontiers of a civilization he would spend himself in making more economically productive, more socially just, and more spiritually beau- tiful; called to exacting responsibility, equipped with authority, and loaded with titles and distinctions of honor, he is sought by high and low who press upon him with many and conflicting purposes. The complexities of such a life he simplifies through the genius of moral intuition, unifying his heart with the heart of the universe and the heart of his fellows. Desiring noth- ing for himself, he fears nothing, and in the strength of his self-abnegation he leads forlorn hopes to victory. And in the sincere democracy of his spirit he transforms all responsibility, all authority, all distinction, all busi- ness with high or low, into terms of friendship.
