Dr. Brett, in private life Mrs. Benjamin A. Quarles, was named this spring to the National Board of the YWCA of the United States of America. Miss Brett was for four years (January 1953—December 1957) a member of the Commis- sion on Education of Women. A 1925 graduate of Morgan, Miss Davis has been Librar- ian since 1926. When Soper was opened in 1939, the library had only 13,000 volumes. Today there are about 70,000 volumes. James Nix exemplifies that happy blending of friendliness and sternness which when found in a man having a sympa- thetic and understanding nature, hut free of maudlin senti- ment, can produce an exceptionally fine Dean of Men. All's well on the South Campus these days. Rulh Brett, E !.D. Columbia University, Coordinator of Student Personnel Services. Jamr E. Nix. A.M. Syracuse University. Dean of Men. 21

Morgan State Col- lege, Assistant to the President of the College. v A past president of the Morgan General Alumni Associa- tion, Dr. Lockwood was initiated into Phi Delta Kappa while at Hopkins. Morganite William Proctor is the eloquent advocate of the return to the virtues of the “Old Morgan.” Mr. Carter is the “Grand Young Man” of Morgan. He antedates the College, with reference to its present location, arid in point of service is its oldest employee. Mr. Carter was horn just about 75 yards south of where the Old Power Plant was later to lie constructed. Graduated from Morgan in 1916, Mr. Carter was immediately employed by the Col- lege, and he has been here ever since. When Morgan moved in September of 1918 from downtown Baltimore to today’s site, Mr. Carter, who was then the staff, returned to the place of his birth. 22
