HAS Miss Wilson signed your special leave card? Has the Sing been approved? Do you know whether the fraternity dance has been put on the calendar? . . . with these and a thousand and one other queries, our Dean of Residence of the Woman ' s College, Miss Mary Grace Wilson, is more than familiar. Miss Wilson has become a vital part of the mainspring of Duke University in the many years that she has served the students and the University. When the Woman ' s Col- lege opened in 1930, she served as Social Director and occupied this posi- tion until 1937, when she became Dean of Residence. In this capacity she has devoted herself to her greatest concern — that of aiding the stu- dents in combining a well-balanced program of extra-curricular activi- ties with their academic interests. We wish to pay tribute to Miss Wilson because her first thought has always been of others — be it the lowliest freshman or the loftiest senior — and because where duty stops, she has continued beyond unselfishly and sympathetically. She is esteemed and beloved by all who know and work with her. We, the students of Duke University, are proud to dedicate this 1950 Chanticleer to Miss Mary Grace Wilson.
