THE FACULTY On March 8, 1907, a bill was passed in the North Carolina Legislature providing for the establishment of East Carolina Teachers College. When the college opened Octo- ber 5, 1909, there were thirteen staff members including the faculty, President, lady prin- cipal, and college doctor. They were: Dr. Robert H. Wright, Claude W. Wilson, W. H. Ragsdale, Leon R. Meadows, Mamie E. Jenkins, Maria D. Graham, Sallie Joyner Davis, Birdie McKinney, Kate W. Lewis, Fannie M. Bishop, Mrs. Kate R. Beckwith, Herbert E. Austin, and Dr. Charles Laughinghouse. By the end of the first year two additions had been made and there has been an annual increase in the staff to accompany the gradual but steady expansion of the college. Now there are well over a hundred staff members in fifteen departments. Thirteen years after the opening of the college all but three of the original staff remained in the employment of the college. At present there are five active charter mem- bers on the campus. They are: Dr. Leon Meadows, Mamie E. Jenkins, Maria D. Graham, Sallie Joyner Davis, and Kate W. Lewis. In the past year there have been eight new faculty members and several other staff members added; and with an increasing enrollment we expect other additions before the opening of the next school year. Our faculty members are well prepared in their various fields, and they are vitally interested in the students. It is their untiring efforts to serve the students and our per- sonal contact with them that makes our college life so enjoyable. ' f iti i mf '
