His Excellency, Bibb Graves, Governor of Alabama Governor Graves has characterized the condition of the State by his inspiring words, Alabama is on the way. He did not, however, stop here. Instead, Governor Graves has done probably more than any other governor before him in bringing about the realization of this. Some of the things that have been accomplished under the leader• ship of Governor Graves is the release of $5.000,000.00 in bonds for the docks at Mobile, the authorization by the Legislature of a road bond issue of $25,000,000.00, wonderful development in the system of education, public health, and the abolition of the convict lease system .... Il'f feel that Governor Graves’ predicting statement could be amended to read, Auburn is on the way. We also feel that he has been equally instrumental in furthering the application. He has taken a very great interest in the school and used his influence and personality in advancing the interests of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. 20

 Dr. Bradford Knapp, B.S., LL.B., D.Agr. President I lie appointment of Dr. Bradford Knapp to the presidency of llabama Polytechnic Institute in the Spring of I92H brought welcome approval from students, alumni, and the people of the state. No man has ever come to the presidency better qualified thin Doctor Knapp. His ability as an executive, his high standards of scholarship, and his fine personality give assurance of a bigger and better college and the accomplishment of his aims; to bring the school into closer touch with its alumni and former students and to make the college of greater service to the state. With an increase in enrollment and plans for the early erection of a new administration building, a textile building, and an auditorium, there is every indication that Auburn is on its way to a place in the sun. 21
