DR. FRANK PDRTER GRAHAM Dr Frank Porter Graham, Mr. Frank to his stu- dents at the University of North Carolina, is gener- ally recognized as the ablest United States State University president. President Graham is, however, more than a University president His fame is due, first of all, to the fact that he is a great man, genial, kindly, and hospitable; and secondly, to the fact that he is a great teacher, academically and technically. President Graham, in his teaching, is primarily an educator for Democracy. According to the Demo- cratic philosophy of education that we learn what we live, he has said, a campus democracy of students is one of the most effective agencies in education for democracy. It is the influence of this man, our University President, that has made us at Woman ' s College more conscious of the fact that the preserva- tion of the Democratic way of life in our nation and on our campus is worth any effort that we may be called on to put forth.
