We present the 1978 OAK LEAVES influenced Meredith College through Dr. Carlyle Campbell 1894 — 1977 President, 1939 — 1966 Dr. Campbell brought to all relationships with faculty and students a mind broad in its interests and finely honed in its functioning — keen, perceptive, disciplined, and curious — always searching for the yet unknown and unperceived, nourished on ' the best that has been thought and said, ' attuned to that best, and unwilling — if not indeed unable — to settle for less or to condone sham, shoddiness, or even mediocrity. Dr. Norma Rose spoke these words and more in tribute to Dr. Arthur Carlyle Campbell, leader, administrator, arbiter, pace-setter, peace-maker, taskmaster, guardian of ideals, who served as president of Meredith College for 27 years. He died suddenly at his home on the morning of July 28, 1977, at the ag of 82 years. The son of the founder of Campbell College in Buies Creek, Dr. Campbell attended Buies Creek Academy now Campbell College), received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Wake Forest University, and did graduate study at Columbia University. Dr. Campbell, at sixteen years of age, was the youngest graduate on record at Wake Forest University. He taught at Buies Creek Academy, 1911-1917 and 1919-1920; was head of the Department of English at Coker College in South CaroHna, 1923-1925; was president of Coker College, 1925-1936; and was head of the Department of English at North Carolina State University, 1937-1939. The University of South Carolina and Wake Forest University honored him with L.L.D. degrees, and Campbell honored him with the L.H.D. degree. Dr. Campbell was honored in 1975 by the North Carolina Association of Colleges and Universities by being presented the McEniry Award for service to and humanitarianism in higher education. He was president of the State Literary and Historical Association, 1946-1949; president. North Carolina College Conference, 1953-1954; president, Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, 1953-1954; and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. His mind was, no doubt, the great tool which he brought to the problems and challenges of college administration, but the character of the man was the determining force in his use of that intellect. Spiritual values and integrity were the foundation stones on which he built his forceful and exemplary life. 16 — OAK LEAVES 1978
