To THE founders we are indebted foir our establishment. Unceasingly they worked — two groups, with different ob- jectives originally, combined to secure the power which enabled them to over- come those opponents of the move, and to convince the legislators of North Carolina that an agricultural and tech- nical school was needed. Through the efforts of Colonel L. L. Polk and The Progressive Farmer, the farmers of Tar Helia learned of the movement and rallied to its cause. Through the frequent meetings of The Watauga Club, a wide- spread organization, with such leaders as W. J. Peele, W. S. Primrose, Judge John W. Thompson, Walter Hines Page, Joscphus Daniels, and many others, the people were convinced that North Carolina did sorely need a school of this type. Memories of them shall live with us, and to them, we dedicate this volume Colonel L. L. Polk, in a print shop such as this, began his drive foe an Agricultural College. Through the columns of The Progressive Farmer, he encouraged the farmers and citizens of North Carolina to fight for the establishment of the one institution that would help them most.

Once the outskirts of a struggling town; a wooded spot, unthought of by Carolinians that some day an institution would arise which would deal more intimately with the lives of its citizens than any other institution in the state. In 1889, one building arose. Soon, others followed. Steadily has been its growth, until today, a campus of thirty acres, over four hundred acres of experimental farm land, and thirty-two buildings comprise one of the highest ranking institutions of its kind — an institution that is constantly serving and advising the people of North Carolina — helping them with their agricultural and technical problems. State College is truly a college for the people of the Tar Heel State. It serves them as a laboratory — a laboratory and an institution which proudly stands ready to aid them — an institution of which they should be proud. 1889 - 1935
