PRUSIDKXI OF DIKE UNIX KRSn ' WILLIAM PRESTON FEW A.B., A.M., I ' h.l).. I.1..1)., Litt.D., Ivl). IXC! ! tlic Cfiitcnnial cx-lfbratinii will come in April 1939 another Chaxtici.i;i:r will not appear before the celebration is held. This is then properly the Centennial edition of tlie Duke Yearbook; and I am glad that it is built about that idea. ' Duke L nivcrsity is built-tfnd organized in accordance with a clearly conceived ideal and a clearly conceived plan, and every move is made in the light of that ideal and in conformity with that plan. Working toward this well-defined goal the University finds itself confronted with certain urgent needs; and in connection with the Centennial of Trinity Col- lege these are being called to the attention of frierids of the University and friends of American education. No financial goal has been set and no intensive campaign for funds will be undertaken; but it is felt that here is an opportunity to strengthen the College and provide larger facilities for ad -anced studies in the Graduate and Professional Schools. For their sake and for the sake of the cause I hope the students of this and the next year especially will appreciate their rare privilege of sharing in an event that in the nature of things can only come once in a hundred years. w. P. i-i-;w. William Preston Few has served as President of Trinit - College and Duke Uni ersily since 1910. He received his A.B. degree from WofFord College in 1889, his A.M. and Ph.D. from Harvard in 1893 and 1896 respectively. He holds LL.D. degrees from WofFord, Southwestern, Allegheny College, Syracuse University, Ohio Wesleyan, University of North Carolina, and Davidson College. He holds a Litt.D. from Birmingham Southern College, and an E.D. from Southern College. In 1933 he served as President of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Dr. Few is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Beta Kappa, and Chi Phi fraternities. He is also a trustee of the Southern Education Foundation.
