administration The realization of the plans for the new Woman ' s College — the construction of its long awaited buildings, and the enlargement of its student body — is the result of hard work and inspired planning by the entire administration of the school. They have created a larger and more varied program in the Graduate School. This year the Physical Education Department and Home Economics Department have been expanded to meet the new demands in those fields. As we see their plans take physical shape, we can feel and appreciate more fully the long years they have spent building a bigger and greater college for us to enjoy.

administration ...1951 PRESIDENT GORDON GRAY We can agree with Presidenl Gordon Cray wh en he said, I have the highest hopes lor the Woman ' s College, State College, and ( hapel Hill. The new President of the University of North Caro- lina is -i Tai Heel bj inheritance and by choice, but he is equally well known and valued outside the state. IK came to the University from Washington, D. ( . where he served .is Secretary of the Army under President Truman from L947 until 1950. His record of service to the nation is one that brought him praise from n.ition.il anil world figures. President Gray ' s work as a newspaper publisher and radio station owner will provide an excellent background for his work as chief administrator for the University. A member of Phi Beta Kappa at Chapel Hill, he has shown himself a scholar by leading his gradu- ating class scholastically. He assumed his duties in Chapel Hill in September and was inaugurated on October 10 in ceremonies attended by educational dignitaries from all over the United States and from abroad. GOVERNOR NX ' . KERR SCOTT Since his inauguration in 1949 Governor Kerr Scott has shown an active interest in the advancement of public education in North Carolina. He has worked closely with the officials of the University in planning its operation and growth. As an alumnus of State College in Raleigh, he was well acquainted with the University before he became connected with it in an official capacity. His aggressive liberalism and alert knowledge of affairs of his state are nowhere more evident than in his awareness of their needs and his interest in the students of the University of North Carolina. CHANCELLOR EDWARD K. GRAHAM Dr. Edward Kidder Graham is another part of the Woman community that is as new as the physical changes we have known this year. Our new Chancellor came to this college from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was Dean of Faculties from 19 is until L950. A graduate of the University of North Caro- lina in Chapel Hill, his name is one connected with long and loyal service to education in North Carolina. Chancellor Graham and his family are already a familiar and vital part of the campus activities. His three children arc- enrolled in Curry School. Dr. Graham ' s new ideas and vibrant personality have brought added life and interest to the many organizations to which he has given his time and attention. We can see a bright and forward-moving future for the Woman ' s College under his leader DEAN OE WOMEN KATHER1NE TAYLOR Miss Katherine Taylor was a member of the faculty of Woman ' s College before she became Dean of Women three years ago. Her intimate contact with students as their teacher has made her an understanding administrator. She is a familiar figure to everyone from freshmen to seniors. We see her as she presides in Chapel or speaks at Pre-School Conference or meets to add her opinions and help to student ideas. She keeps in touch with the residence halls through her relationship with the counselors and plans with them a homelike atmosphere in the dorms. By virtue of her position. Dean Taylor participates in every phase of student activity. Thus she is a link between the student body and the administration as a whole- Chancellor Edward K Graham Dean Katherine Taylor
