up his nicnihership on the Board, and he was succeeded as secretary by J. M. Spainhour. When Dr. Spainlioiir ' s term as cHrector expired, it was filled by the election of Dr. J. O. Wilcox, of Ashe County. But Dr. Spainhour ' s interest in the institution was so great that, on the motion of his successor, he was employed to act as secretary of the Board, which position he held at the time of his death last November. In addition to Dr. Spainhour ' s regular work as secretary, he preserved 2,500 clippings from newspapers, covering the entire life of the College, and arranged them carefully in seven volumes. These volumes have been donated to the institution by Mrs. Spainhour, and a committee has been appointed to continue tiie work of preserving current comments on the work of the College, just as Dr. Spainhour had begun it.

©Ill Inarb of itrrrtora. P Y THE charter of the State Normal and Industrial College, the nianage- I ment of the institution is entrusted to a Board of Directors consisting of a representative fn: m each Congressional District, with the State Super- intendent of Pulilic Instruction as an additional memher and president of the Board. The first Board of Directors selected by the General Assembly of i8yi was S. M. Finger, of Catawba County, President: E. McK. Goodwin, of Wake County, Secretary; B. F. Aycock, of Wayne County; H. G. Chatham, of Surry County ; R. D. Gilmer, of Haywood County ; A. C. McAlister, of Randolph County; M. C. S. Noble, of New Hanover County; W. P. Shaw, of Hertford County; J. M. Spainhour. of Caldwell County; R. H. Stancell, of Northamp- ton County. To this Board came the privilege and the task of laying the foun- dations for the institution, erecting its first buildings, and choosing its first facult}-. Their only property was ten acres of land, donated for the purpose, and $30,000. which was Greensboro ' s subscription to secure the location of the College. After erecting the main building, leaving off the wings, and erecting the walls of the main dormitory, it J ecame evident that the money in hand would not complete enough dormitory room to accommodate half the students who would apply for admission. Seeing that the future of the institution would be seriously affected by insufficient dormitory capacity, the members of the Board gave their personal notes for enough money to complete the second floor of the main dormitory, and induced those who owned land next to the College to erect buildings which could be rented for dormitories. The members of the Board had such faith in the institution and in the people of the State that they believed that the next Legislature would relieve them of their responsibility and pay these notes, in which belief they were not disappointed. The only members of the Board who have served continuously since i8yi are Mr. H. G. Chatham and Mr. W. P. Shaw. Mr. E. J. Forney has. from the beginning, been the treasurer of the fioard. On the following page appears an alphabetical list of those who have served the State as directors in the management of the institution. To no other similar number of citizens does the State owe a greater debt of gratitude for faithful and efificient service. Major S. M. Finger was succeeded as president of the Board successively by J. C. Scarborough. C. H. JMebane. T. F. Toon, and James V. Joyner. E. McK. Goodwin, having moved from the Fourth District, was obliged to give ' 3
