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. C. year by year. and. like Tennyson ' s Brook, will go on forever. Page Eighteen

1938 ANNIl Dea .. MOl . 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.
