N.C. State ' s heritage is essentially like that of any other predominantly white, southern, technically oriented institution. The virtues which the school extols are Discipline, Patriotism, Hard Work and Good Grades. That is, of course, an oversimplification, but represents nonetheless several of the most important factors vieing with current trends as the University seeks its identity. Discipline is neither hard to recognize in State students nor difficult to trace to its source. When North Carolina A M opened before the turn of the Century, it was structured like a military school. When students reported for their portraits in the first Agromeck they came in uniforms, not coats and ties. Also, since the college was set up as a land-grant institution, ROTC was required of all students-a stipulation lifted only recently. Moreover, discipline has always been necessary for the mastery of the fields of study traditionally offered at State— the applied sciences. It was seldom that a man came here just to get a diploma, for such a thing was not demanded in those days. Instead, one enrolled in State College as a stepping stone to a career. To such purposeful students, rigorous discipline seemed a small and fair price to pay for economic security. 17

Why, we can trace with accuracy that date of the first student martyr: he was that unfortunate scoundrel accused of stealing a chicken from the private coup of Alexander Q.

But he had served a good cause, for out of that instance sprang a student council which in the future would handle such cases of discipline. 18
