ft. ft. ftilltp E want to subject President Hilley to the and endurance. three-fold test of speed, style, He is now thirty-one years of age, and has been College President two years, College Dean one year, Director of Vocational Guidance in Atlanta, Georgia, one year, College Professor two years, and President of the Wilson Rotary Club one year. He is a graduate of Transylvania College and of Oxford University—having spent three years in that time-honored institution as a Rhodes scholar from Ken- tucky. Few young men have shown greater speed in the attainment of success. His style is likewise attractive. When he was made Dean of Atlantic Christian College that adolescent was still wearing “C” clothing. After he was President one year the State said a “ B’1 suit would fit. But nothing less than an “ A’ ’ gar- ment would satisfy the academic style of the new President, and so when the graduates leave at the close of the twenty-first session, their caps and gowns will be cut and fitted in an educational style-shop of the first order with “Tailor” Hilley as the head designer. The next test is not so easily applied. We can guess, but that is not testing. Personally we believe there is no quality of his make-up more promising. We would guess that the first two qualifies which have given him such standing in the confidence of the Disciples of North Carolina, will be continually enhanced by years of efficient service. We would guess, again, that if the brotherhood will respond to the demands of an “A” grade College, with President Hilley’s sane and constructive program, the Church of Christ in the Old North State in a few years need not be ashamed to compare her college with any church school in the South. A weakening on the part of the brotherhood in this regard is the only handicap to the last named quality, and this is indeed an improbable eventuality. Never has Atlantic Christian College gone forward with more rapid strides than now. Never has she looked fairer to her admirers and fiiends. Never has she needed more sorely the continued statesmanlike administration of the present. Mr. Hilley, you are the Man of the Hour.
