Leslie H. Campbell President This is our college president. His work is never done. An administrator, he as- sembles the team and calls the plays. A business man, he must build a budget and live within it. A citizen, he responds to the many calls of the community and surround- ing area for leadership and support. His church and denomination impose a similar demand. This is our college president. His business is education. The nature of boys and girls may remain the same but a rapidly changing world calls for constant adjustment He bears the final responsibility of representing the college to patrons, other institu- tions, sponsors, friends, the public. This is our college president. Campbell College has been his life work. In a spirit of unselfish devotion his unceasing toil of the years has been dedicated to high princi- ples and great ideals. The forward march and expansion of our institutions are evi- dences of achievement on the part of one of God ' s noblemen who leads us to the stars through difficulties. 12

ADMINISTRATION D. Rich Memorial Building. If I put you up a building with my money, and you teach boys and girls, do you suppose the Lord would let me share in this business of Christian education? asked D. Rich of Dr. J. A. Campbell not long before the financier died in 1924. The construction of D. Rich Memorial Building during the spring and summer of 1926 enabled the junior college to begin functioning that fall in a new and commodious building, costing ap- proximately $160,000, a portion of the D. Rich bequest to Campbell College. In 1940 there was available from his bequest cash and securities valued at $151,669.80, which the trustees voted to be allocated for permanent endowment under the name of D. Rich Endowment Fund. Whether they build with marble or sod The builder is hand in hand with God. 11

He has performed with precision and efficiency the multitudi- nous assignments of college administration and teaching. No one, perhaps, in the minds of the stu- dents better personifies the spirit of Campbell College than Dean Burkot. He combines in marked degree friendliness, scholarly inter- ests, patience, sincerity, and loyalty. He is among the first to welcome the home- sick freshman to the campus and the last to send the young graduate out equipped with proper credentials for his next adventure. Happy is the lot of any student to find beyond the portals of home such a counselor and friend. In point of service, Mr. Marshbanks rates top seniority at Campbell, having been a faith- ful steward here since 1909 and earned the sincere plaudit of Well done, good and faith- ful servant. ' ' Versatile is the word for Mr. Marshbanks. whose school duties have included those of teacher, buyer, dean, and business manager par excellence, not to mention his role of family-man and one of Buie ' s Creek ' s num- ber-one citizens. Known as a man of few words but of sound, dependable judgment and rare personal and professional integrity, Mr. Marshbanks has through the years commanded the respect and esteem of his many student-friends and neighbors.
