ln dedication of service to Alabama Polytechnic institute Dr. Ralph B. Draughon is without equal. During a period of 40 years association with the A.P.I., his career has en- compassed both extremes, of the freshman in 1918 and the President in 1943. No period in Auburn's history is comparable to the eight years that Dr. Draughon has lead the administration. lts expansion so ably guided and the unification of the lnstitutels branches are achievements which speak for themselves. Dr. Draughorfs character and educational vision have been demonstrated on numerous occasions in his determina- tion to make Auburn non-partisan in state politics and to establish its needs on the basis of its educational value as an accredited lnstitute. Not only has Auburn been so fortunately blessed with such a capable chief executive but also with his first lady. Caroline has been outstanding as the gracious. sincere and much respected first lady and hostess whose Warmth and friendliness have made her a friend of all who know her. The students of the present and the future are fortunate that these unrelenting efforts have made for Alabama Poly- technic lnstitute a position of educational stability and prog- ress through the constant efforts to meet the needs of an expanding institution. Proudly the students make this dedication from gratitude to the Draughons. TO THE GOVERNOR AND BOARD HIS EXCELLENCY, JAMES E. FOLSOM JAMES E. FOLSOM AUSTIN MEADOWS WALKER REYNOLDS JOE DAVIS PAUL S.
