President V. P. Few WILLIAM PRESTON FEW William Preston Few, President of Trinity Col- lege and Duke Universit) since [910, has carved a place in the heart of every student who has had the privilege ol know Lng and associating with him. His simple unaffectedness, his strength of char- acter, and his indisputable ahilil mighl serve as a model to every college student. I lis momentous efforts in founding and expanding Duke Univer- sity, and his unselfish, sympathetic consideration of his subordinates, will never be forgotten. He received his A.B. degree from Wofl ' ord Col- lege in [889, his A.M. and Ph.D. from Harvard in 1893 and 189b respectively. He holds LL.D. degrees from Wofford, Southwestern, Allegheny College, Syracuse University, Ohio Wesleyan, University of North Carolina, and Davidson Col- lege.

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. All this has taken place within the brief pe- riod of nine years, for except in the case of Trinity College all the other divisions of the University have been organized, or in two cases made really effective, since the occupation of this campus in 1930. This is a record in which all of US find a good deal ol satisfaction. Much has been done in this short time. We must not forget that there is just as much still to be done ' . This will be true- not only in the next decade but in every decade. The- University covets the full cooperation of all its students, its alum- ni and its constituency . . P. Few. 10
