N FOUNDERS AND BUILDERS OF EA The founders and builders of this institution throughout its first quarter of a cen- tury never lost sight of its purpose: to train teachers for the public schools of the state. And those who, during the second quarter, are building a larger institution are holding to this same purpose. To Serve, the motto of the school, has always been interpreted as serving the state bv giving to the children trained teachers. The story of the founding and building of the institution, first. East Carolina Teachers Training School changed, in 1021. to Hast Carolina Teachers College, may be seen through the work of six men — three who may be called founders and three, builders. The idea of a teachers training school took shape in the mind of one. a superin- tendent. W. H. Ragsdale. A statesman who caught the idea. T. J. Jarvis, knew how to present it to the people. It came into the hands of a legislator, J. L. Fleming, who was capable of steering it through the legislature until it became a bill. T CAROLINA TEACHERS COLLEGE The master builder who wrought with more lasting materials th an the brick and mortar was Robert H. Wright. He wisely chose as two of his fellow-workmen C. W. Wilson and II. E. Austin. The former was a native of the state who knew her people well. The latter, because of his experience in a teacher-training institution in another state, seemed peculiarly fitted for a place in this one. These men are gone, but their work is being carried on. Some idea of the con- tributions they made and the building of this institution can be seen at intervals throughout the book ; its growth is magnified in the pages between. Thus, we could not find a more fitting theme than Founders and Builders of East Carolina Teach- ers College. ■Hi H C DNTENTS Qki CDLLEGE- tiCUSSES 4dIVITIES - THLETICS Features Advertisements u r 296995 DEDICATION To the Charter Members of the faculty of East Carolina Teachers College who, as co-workers with the president, helped lay the foundation of this institution, we. the student body of East Carolina Teachers College gratefully dedicate the 1938 Tecoan. Much of the influence radiating from this institution to the schools of North Car- olina is the result ui their love, their sacrifices, and their wise guidance of the mam- generations of students whom they have inspired. w mf® i THOMAS JORDAN realization of the vision ot .the y This institution was the realization of the vision of the young man and the cul- mination of v -hhe-life- tQtk m of Thomas J. Jarvis. ' li e-_was_ the first really Educational Governor in the south and for iix years. served3 s .governor of North Carolina. He was, for a generation, her ( ' .rand Old Alan . In his inaugural address he appealed to all men of all faiths and creeds and par- ties to work for the education of all the children of the state. This, I regard as of the very first importance, for without it. all our efforts in other directions will be in vain. He followed this appeal by one for better and wider facilities for the training of teachers which he considered an essential factor in the work of public education. In the years that followed much progress was made, but it remained for Governor Jar- vis ' last years to see the establishment of the first institution in the state for the sole purpose of training teachers. The bill establishing the school was passed by the General Assembly in the win- ter of 1907. In Greenville the location of it was definitely settled. In the shaping of the bill and in the location of the school, Governor Jarvis ' influence was outstanding. He was made chairman of the Building Committee and it was he who turned the first shovel of soil in the laying of the cornerstone, July 2, 1908. It was due largely to his personal supervision that the buildings were ready for the opening of the school, October 5, 1909. He was a member of the Board of Trustees from the first and, as Chairman of the Executive Committee, he served the school until his death. This institution was the object of his love and labor. In it he was permitted to see the accomplishment of the object which became the dominant purpose of his life — better educational facilities for the children of North Carolina. He was a wise statesman as well as a shrewd politician of seasoned experience.

BLDG. 1907 LEON RENFREW MEADOWS President Appreciation of the poetic both in literature and life; calm analytic acceptance of daily events as they occur: a cheery smile: a cordial greeting; a wholesome fellowship with one and all: strong faith in the value of teacher-training — these are distinctive characteristics of Leon Renfrew Meadows as a man. a teacher, and an administrator. Louisiana claims him as a native son and North Carolina wel- comed him as an adopted son at the time she established East Carolina Teachers College with which he has been connected since 1909 as teacher of English, head of the English department, director of the summer school, and president. The influence of his instruction and his personality has helped ennoble the lives oi thousands of alumni of The College ' ' . His life and work grow more and more firmly into the fiber of E. C. T.

Worn I ReBARKER n of Men More than Dean of Women, Miss Morton iv a friend t tin- students on the campus. She lives in the lite of each one. Their happiness is her happiness ; their success, her success; their sorrow, her sorrow; their problems, her problems. Not only does Miss Morten keep track of her girls while they are here, but knows where they are and wliat they are- doing after they leave. She so lives the life of each student that one is not sur- prised to return to the campus after months, and even years, and have Miss Morton greet her by name. There is something gained from her friendship not to be found in books. Coming to East Carolina Teachers I I lege in [028 as Director of Instruction in Mathematics, Dr. ReBarker is well quali- fied for the position. As Dean oi Men he is thoroughly democratic and inspires the confidence of all those with whom he deals. He is always willing and ready Pi offer ad- vice and is deliberate in his criticism. To the students, particularly the men stu- dents, he is an ideal. In him they find a true friend who is kindly, learned, austere, possessed of the dignified reserve of a scholar and the sympathetic geniality of a gentleman ; he has achieved the highest of rewards, the love and admiration of both student body and faculty. 1907 9 1 1 f First .

Ragsdale was conceived the idea of a school to he devoted solely to the purpose of fitting teachers for the public schools in the eastern section of North Carolina. As a county superintendent, he knew well how great was the need for better schools, and he steadfastly held to the belief that the trained teacher was the surest way to make the schools better. The idea may have been in other minds, but he did not stop until he had planted the idea in the minds of others and enlisted in the cause those who could give shape and form to it, carrying it through its stages until it was a plant ready for young people who were eager to become good teachers. His happiest years were those after the realization of his dream, that of a school sending out trained teachers into the rural schools of Eastern North Carolina, had come true. Professor Ragsdale worked untiringly for its establishment and lived to see the school a force in the educational work of the state and ranking high among the normal schools of the whole country. It was fitting that his co-workers made Professor Ragsdale a member of the first faculty. To the students, who were prospective teachers, he was an inspiration. He kept them in touch with the actual conditions and problems as he met them daily in the schools of Pitt County. His colleagues were in turn an inspiration to him: he was quick to catch new ideas of worth and put them to work in the country schools. I !i practical knowledge of educational affairs, coupled with his years of experience, his sane judgment, optomistic nature, and never-failing tact, made him of inestimable value to the college. child as ot greater value tl CLASSES 1938 Roy Barrow President SENIORS The class that entered with so much enthusiasm and vigor in ' 34 lias maintained consistently the high ideals and traditions that belong to our col- lege.

Proof of this was seen in the success of the best and most colorful Sophomore-Senior dance in the history of the college.

JAMES mpNjLEMING The name of James L. Fleming will ever he associated with those who founded this institution because it was he who sponsored and introduced the bill that led to the establishment of the school. Having been brought up in the country schools, Mr. Fleming was conscious of the advantages and disadvantages of a rural school and was interested in anything that could he done for their improvement. Upon his election to represent Pitt County in the Senate, he agreed to introduce tjie bill to establish a teachers training school. This was not an easv task, but under Senator Fleming ' s wise guidance and through tireless efforts the bill was so successfully presented that those who had fought it lie- fore became its friends, and those disinterested became interested. The bill was passed and ratified March 8. 1007. and the institution became a reality. Senator Fleming was not only interested in getting the bill passed but also in bringing the school to his native town, Greenville, and in carrying out the plans for the opening. Just one month after the school was opened. November 5. 1909, he was killed in an automobile accident. Thus, as his dreams were just beginning to come true, he slipped into the Great Beyond leaving to others the building up of an institution which he had helped found and whose influence was to radiate throughout the state. One week later he was to have taken part in the inauguration of the first president. CTIVITIE5 1907 WOMEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICERS REBECCA WATSON President J YCF B.

The Association unites the students as no other organization does, and through this unity it en- deavors to help each student adjust herself to the responsibiliti es of a good citizen. Indeed, its chief purpose is to develop student honor and self-control and to instill in each member a clear understanding of the functions of the Association and a spirit of loyalty and under- standing. Contacts with other campuses have been made through delegates who went to the National Student Federation Congress in Albuquerque, New Mexico; to the Southern Inter- collegiate Association in -Williamsburg, Virginia, and to the meeting of the North Carolina Federation of Students in Raleigh.

With the enrollment of male students the largest in the history of the institution, the Association has had as its primary objective the close correlation of the men ' s activities with those of the campus as a whole. Especially outstanding in the accomplishments of the Men ' s Student Government Asso- ciation for this year are the following: A get-together party for the Freshmen; the secur- ing of additional lights, bulletin boards, and other improvements for the men ' s dormitory; the sending of a representative to the National Student Federation of America held at Albu- querque, New Mexico, and the routine matters of campus discipline. The cooperation of the Men ' s Student body with the Association and its President. Thorn- ton Stovall, has been effectively and willingly given in all matters. Page One Hundred Fifty-seven 1907 Y.

Page One Hundred Fifty 1907 DORIS BLALOCK President JUNIOR Y CABINET The Junior Y Cabinet, which is chosen from the Freshman Class in a very impressive candle-light service, has held the candle of service high during this school year. By partici- pating in the Friday night and Sunday night vesper services, by conducting morning watch on various occasions, and by cooperating in the planning and carrying out of Y socials, the Junior Cabinet has proved a very helpful little sister to the Senior Y Cabinet. Monthly meetings of the Cabinet have been held at which very interesting programs have been given, such as the reading of Dicken ' s Christinas Carol at the Christmas meeting. The excellent cooperation of all members is expected ' to continue in the future as they continue to serve.

For the first time in several years triangular debates were held. Debating against the Lanier Society in the first of these, the Emersons were victorious. Following the usual custom of sponsoring one of the three college dances, the Emerson Society carried out the spring dance with gaiety and originality. The society is expecting to sponsor main more successful activities in future years.

The year began with a successful marshmallow and weiner roast for the Freshman Class, out of which lit) became loyal Poes. At the first meeting, Mr. Deal, the sponsor, gave a brief history of the Poe Society, bringing to a realization the goal to be reached in order to uphold the standard of past years. Other meet- ings ci insisted of dramatics, tap dancing, music, and socials. The mid-winter dance, sponsored by the Poe Society, was a typical college dance, the decora- tions representing the riving colors of various colleges. iluMal. Hester LANIER SOCIETY MARGARET GUY OVERMAN President EMILY BRENDLE Vice-President EDXA CRAWLEY Secretary RUTH HAWKES Treasurer The Lanier Society has carried on its work well during this year. Ranking second again in numher of new members, it lays claim to quality, if not quantity. The freshmen were entertained at a party in the ' Wright Building. Those freshmen who joined were, after initiation week, entertained at a hal- lowe ' en party in the V Hut. The programs this year included two musical programs by members of the faculty ; some read- ings by Miss Greene, advisor; a Christmas party: and one student impromptu program. Taking part in a debate in which the Emerson Society was victorious, the Laniers are confident of future victory. Kulli Hardy Margaret Guy O HBbffi ROBERT HIRING; WEIGHT TO The man who was the master builder of the institution, the one who erected the building upon the foundation laid by its founders, was Robert II. Wright, president for its first quarter of a century. He was a leader in educational affairs in North Carolina throughout the twenty- five years and his far-reaching influence can never be measured. Me devoted his life to the training of teachers and was strong in his conviction that the trained teacher was the cornerstone of the public school system. The highest service possible this school could render to the state, he believed, was to serve worthily the childhood of the state. The wisdom of the founders in ' choosing Robert H. Wright to head the new teacher-training school has been clearly seen throughout the years. He was a native North Carolinian who had achieved success in another state in the field of Education. As he was a product of the schools of the state and had served his apprenticeship as teacher in them, he understood their needs. When be heeded the call to return to his state, he perhaps had a vision of the great edifice he was to leave behind him. From a small local two-year normal school it grew until it became a standard teachers college with a national reputation, drawing students from other states as well as from every section of this state. Year bv year it enlarged its field of service until its graduates were found in the best schools in the state, in classrooms from the first grade through the high school. The school kept pace with advancing educational thought and the expanding public school system, adapting itself constantly to changing conditions. He possessed constructive wisdom and the courage to lead in the face of ad- versity. He made up his mind in the calm of his own soul and with courage achieved mightily for God and man. Athletics VARSITY CLUB ADRIAN AYERS President During the year 1937-1938 the Varsity Club has attempted to carry out to the fullest extent the purpose of the organization — that is, the emphasizing and promotion of athletics on the campus of East Carolina Teachers College. The club the past year has concerned itself chiefly with the awarding of certifications, letters, and sweaters to those men participating in intercollegiate sports. Awards were given to men taking part in baseball, football, basketball, and boxing. The Varsity Club dance, a social event sponsored by the organization during the Spring quarter, was successfully planned and carried out. Page One Hundred Eighty-nine FOOTBALL J. D.

C. as new Coach anil Ath- letic Director, Coach Alexander seems well quali- fied for the position, having had fifteen years of coaching experience and a brilliant record as a player. With him came many men who were to prove themselves valuable members of the 1937 football squad. After much practice during hot, sweltering weather the 1937 season was formally opened in a game with the Guilford Quakers which was the initial game of the season for both teams. The only touchdown of the game was made by the Quakers in the first quarter. The Teachers, however, pushed their heavier and more experi- enced opponents all over the field and showed superioritv in punting ability. Coach Alexander was not disappointed in the initial tilt and was especially pleased with the all-round play of the line and the fighting spirit exhibited by the entire squad. fXL I w ir Tlie Camel Caravan from Campbell College executed a surprise rally in the last quarter of the same when they made a touchdown to tie the score and then kicked a goal to score the winning point. The worst defeat of the season was handed the Pirates by Belmont Abbey. This was fol- lowed by another from W. C. T. C. A fourth defeat was suffered in the same with William and Mary. It seemed that due to injuries and tough breaks, E. C. T. C. had received no scoring rewards for her splendid sjxirtsmanship, perse- verance, and gamecock spunk that marked the season thus far. The tide turned, however, and the Pirates en- tered the promised land of victory in a thrilling defeat of High Point College to the tune of 10 to 7. The offensive power of the E. C. T. C. Pirates proved too much for a game team of Louisburg Trojans as the Teachers rolled up four touch- downs to their opponents ' two on a rain soaked field. This ended the gridiron contest for the Pirates who, had the season lasted longer, were confident that their winning streak in the last games would have continued. h BASKETBALL JIMMY JOHNSON Captain E.

Of the fifteen games played, the Pirates claimed eleven victories and two losses, the other two games ending in draws. In the first game of the season. April 1. Far- ley ' s Pirates beat High Point College 5-4 as Bill Holland limited the Panthers to one hit. On the following Saturday Tharrington, Pirate hurler, went the route against the Louisburg Trojans to win 3-1. On April 7 Kelly Martin and Ed Wells limited the A. C. C. Bulldogs to four hits while their teammates were collecting nine. The Pirates emerged with an easily won game, 7-3. In a re- turn game with the Bulldogs, the Pirates collected ,011, 8-6. The follow- ' B team, was a 6-6 their fourth win of the sej ing game, with the Duke draw. The first loss of the season was suffered in the game with Oak Ridge, 6-3. Holland hurled well, but received poor support. Timely hitting interspersed by Panther errors gave the E. C. T. C. Pirates an 8-7 victory over High Point College in the first game of a series. In the second the Pirates fell at the hands of the Panthers, dropping a 9-6 score. The Pirates defeated the Guilford Quakers 8-3 behind the steady pitching of southpaw Holland who scattered eight Quaker hits well while the Pirates were making 10 safeties count. Avers. Pirate catcher, led both teams in hitting, gather- ing a double and two singles in five times at bat.

In the game of only 6 innings with the Green- ville Greenies , of whom Farley is also manager. the Pirates gained a 4-2 decision. A second game with the Campbell Camels was another victory for the Pirates, 7 to 1. The E. C. T. C. baseball team formally closed the 1937 season by dropping a close and extremely hard fought game to William and Mary College. The final outcome was 7-6. Eight players finished the season with a hitting average above .300; the average of the team was .297. Floyd Hinton, classed as one of the best first basemen in North Carolina collegiate base- ball, took top honor in the Pirates ' batting attack with an average of .386. He also led the home- run column, getting two for the season. Durward Stowe, centerfielder, was a close second with an average of .373. Third, was Hoot Gibson with an average of .365.

Points were awarded for participation in these activities. Awards consisted of the college monogram and bronze intramural medals. To those participating in intercollegiate basketball, certificates and letters were awarded. ( Ither features of the program for the year were the monthly meetings. In these sometimes serious discussions of athletic plans and problems arose. Play nights , to which each member might invite a friend to join in the indoor games of ping-pong, volley hall, and shuffle-board, and others, were enjoyed Here one could sense the jolly nature of the members of the association. One. too, recog- nized fair play was dominant. The annual Field Dav and Association Trip were other main events meeting with the enthusiastic approval of all.

Under the guidance of Miss Norton, the girls ' coach who was back with them after a year ' s absence, the team soon became capable of competing against any team. Mickey Blanton as Captain, and Myrtle Hopkins, as Manager of the sextet performed their duties well. The team did more wnrk and played more games than ever before. Of the nine games played, only two were Inst — one of them, the game with Ap- palachian State Teachers College and the most exciting game of the season, by a one point margin. Stars of last year ' s team, Mickey Blanton and Tee Mar tin from the first led in the number of points scored this season. But to the fine cooperation of all players we give credit for the most successful season in the history of women ' s athletics.

In these greater interest was shown and there was more participation than ever before. A Round-Robin basketball tournament was played in which more than fifty students engaged. From this tournament an all-star team was chosen to play the last year ' s varsity.

Hiking, recognized as one of the besl and simplest forms of exercise, was highly favored by a large and enthusiastic group which took long hikes to various places each Saturday afternoon. Horseshoe and croquet are popular with both boys and girls and many were actively engaged in the annual tournament. For the first time in the history of the college classes in archery were taught, contests were held, and an intramural archery tournament was sponsored. As the Tecoan goes to press, plans are being made for an intramural elim- ination tennis tournament the last two weeks of April. There will be singles, doubles, and mixed doubles tournaments. Following these there will be try-outs for the girls ' tennis teams. Nancy Albright, -Melrose Gardner, and Marjorie Weathers are outstanding candidates. This will be the first year the college has had a tennis team and the college letter will be awarded to members. Matches have been scheduled with several colleges and there is much confidence that all plans will be carried out successfully. Page Two Hundred Three CLA  ;$ILSON Claude W. Wilson, who was a native of the state, a graduate of one of its colleges, one who had been a superintendent of schools and never lost touch with the public schools, was a charter member of the faculty. He was a member of the first Board of Trustees and served as its secretary throughout his life. He acted at first in the dual capacity as bursar and teacher of Education. When a full time treasurer relieved him of some of his duties, he devoted his time to his teaching, but he continued to add other duties. Under his leadership the Department of Education expanded rapidly and a Model School was built for practice-teaching and demonstration. When the president gave up the directorship of the summer school. Professor Wilson became the director. He was chairman of many important committees, two that have been in existence since the beginning of the school, the Library and the Appointment Committees. Throughout the building of the course of study, he rendered valuable service and was a member of that committee from the time the institution was only a two-year normal until its be- ginning as a teachers college. If true teaching is living in the lives of students, then Professor Wilson was ann nig the greatest of all these. To the students and young teachers he was like a father. He had the knack of fitting the right girl in the right community. He then kept up with her as she continued to teach — rejoicing in her success and grieving over her failure, lie had sympathy and understanding, was strength and courage to all who knew him.

AUSTIN (1866-1929) Coming to the institution from Massachusetts by way of Baltimore and Mary- land Normal School, Herbert E. Austin possessed the qualities that are best in the Xew Englander and these were softened by the influences of the South. He was well versed in the best educational practices of the day and was a good judge as to whether or not new ideas were workable. Serving as chairman of the Appointment Committee his last eight years, Mr. Austin became well known throughout ' the state, especially to superintendents, who had great confidence in his judgment in selecting young teachers who could fit into definite situations. It became the supreme concern of his life to place the graduates where they could do their best and reflect credit upon their Alma Mater. He knew not only the scholastic record of each student but had notes on her attitude and personality. The students admired him ardently and knew that under his dignified exterior he had a sympathetic, kind heart. His clear presentation of problems and his guidance in the logical solution, step by step, made them realize he was a great teacher. As an adviser of student activities, he was much sought after, and his rich baritone voice added greatly to many a college program. 1 fe was a valuable one to have as a charter member of the staff whose purpose was to send its students into communities as teachers. 4-DVERTI5EMENT5 1907 FOR 18 YEARS THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE DEPARTMENT STORE IN EASTERN CAROLINA 151 jH VISIT OUR TEA ROOM PEOPLES BAKERY Patronize the College Y Store DEPOSIT WITH | GUARANTY BANK AND TRUST CO. £ Established 1901 Time Tested t z Member Federal Deposit Insur- ' .•. ance Corporation Deposits Insured Up To $5,000.00 i; For Each Depositor t E.
