The structural work of the business staff stands as the sturdily hewn pine timbers upon which so many pioneering efforts in North Carolina rest. We of the university can feel that the edifice of our dreams is not only inspiring and beautiful to behond, but that it is vigorous, hearty, and sound to its core. Perhaps the most beloved member of the faculty is Robert Lee Flowers, the irresistible Bobby, whose pres- ence at all student activities infuses tradition and progress into the spirit of Alma Mater. Dr. Flowers, who is vice- president of the university in the business division, and secretary and treasurer, has headed the business staff of the school since 1910. His standard has ever been service in education, and he has borne it in many fields.

I'rc.vidz'ul DUKE UNIVERSITY Duke is a new university, but it is being built round an old college. In Trinity College, which will always remain as a part of Duke University, we have a precious heritage-in its long educational record, its traditions, its ideals, its thousands of graduates. Through Trinity College, improved in every possible way, through the VVoman's College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Medical School, the Lawf School, the Schools of Religion and Forestry, and other schools that may be later on projected and all of them made as strong as it is possible to make them, Duke University will undertake to make its appropriate contributions to the educational service of the state and nation, and indeed is already entered upon its happy mission of helping Cin words of the Indenture of Trust by which the University was createdl to develop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote human happiness. 24 .

The Work of the Comptrollllter In the past live years the activities of the comptroller have been greatly increased by the duties required of this ofl-icial in connection with the construction of the Greater Duke University. The position of comptroller has been competently filled by Dr. Frank C. Brown, who has played an important role in the building of the present plant, which will be occupied during the coming years by the Co-ordinate College for VVomen, and in the general devel opment of the school. At the beginning of the construction work upon the new campus Dr. Brown was placed in control, and he has been taxed to the utmost with the duties devolving from this work. Nevertheless, the outlay of the campus and the mag nilicent Gothic structures to be found thereon bear living., testimony to the ingenious handiwork of this man, who FRANK Curmc BRowN A.n., A.A1,, 1-11.11. Comjrlrollcr 1 1 1 The Cosordinate Collllege for Women The opening of the college year in September will see the women established on their own campus. Wider op- portunities of many kinds will. open before them. They will have their own college life, richer in opportunities to develop independence and initiative, and at the same time will retain the advantages, both social and intellectual, of being a part of the larger university. It is of the highest significance that no door is to be closed to women in the development of their intellectual life. All courses will be open to qualified women stu- dents, and, if certain ones are not given on the women's campus, the women may enter those on the larger campus. Graduates of the Woman's College, as graduates of all other colleges and schools within the university, will re- ceive their degrees from Duke University. But of equal significance is the hope which lies before us of developing on our own campus a college in which we may offer work of special interest to women and may experiment in our own peculiar fields. Alumnae, students, and all associated with the VVoman's College must needs recognize the challenge. may be characterized as a fair example of a typical South ern gentleman.
