U| iUiJuk ' GOVERNOR J MELVILLE BROUGHTON GDV. J. MELVILLE BROUGHTDN Ex-Officio, Chairman In a speech to the Seniors and Alumnae of Wom- an ' s College, Governor Broughton humorously said that his reason for running for governor of North Carolina was to be asked to visit the campus of Woman ' s College. We feel proud to recognize Governor Broughton as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the University of North Carolina. His first legislature passed the Teacher Retirement Act which will be a boon to a large majority of the graduates of this school. Governor Broughton is very enthusiastic over the new fields open to the women of the United States. His sincerity in the advancement of education for women was manifested in his backing the bill for extra appropriations to the Woman ' s College of the University of North Carolina EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE TRUSTEES Alexander Boyd Andrews, Ex-Officio, Chairman I942: Mrs. Laura Weill Cone, Miss Easdale Show, Haywood Parker. 1944: Josephus Daniels, Clarence Poe, Irvin B. Tucker. ' 1946- Charles Whedbee, 0. Max Gardner, Leslie Weil. 1948: John Sprunt Hill, Walter Murphy, John J. Parker. ' Term expires July 1 of year indicated. DR. FRANK PORTER GRAHAM President Ten years ago Dr. Frank Porter Graham tried his best to side step the presidency of the Uni- versity of North Carolina; he wanted to continue teaching. However, he accepted the position with reluctancy, ond the same traits which prompted him to remain a teacher have made him the capa- ble and popular president that we know. He was not interested so much in acquiring de- grees or titles or in making detailed studies of antiquity as he was in studying his students and in making his courses live for them. Simplicity and sincerity are his outstanding characteristics. These qualities and his unflagging interest in his students and in the University as a whole moke him the man we love, Dr Frank Porter Graham, President of the Greater University of North Carolina. DR FRANK PORTER GRAHAM

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS DR. WALTER C. JACKSON Our Dean of Administration is one of our best friends on the campus. Dr. Jackson is a remark- able personality; he always has time to listen to our troubles and to congratulate us on our suc- cesses. His charm, his personality, his ability to understand college students ore just a few of the things that make Dr. Jackson beloved and respect- ed by all. Dr Jackson is always reedy to advise and capa- bly takes situation into his hands if he deems it necessary; but he has a remarkable facility of stim- ulating initiative in the students to manage their own responsibilities. His belief in a true democratic student government always prevails. DR. WALTER CLINTON JACKSON MISS HARRIET ELLIDT We have been willing to share Miss Elliot this year only because she is serving her country as a member of the Defense Commission. Miss Elliot has absolutely dispelled all of our fears about the cold impersonality of the typical dean of women She has a warm heart and a place in it for every girl at Woman ' s College. Although Miss Elliot has been doing the almost superhuman task of holding two major positions, she has found the time to come back to our campus often this year. She has been aided by the counsellors and Miss May Lottimore who have assumed added responsibilities. lv%ufafiM T AAaa Um£ MISS HARRIET ELLIOT
