DEDICATION C ' kaIII C 1 (oi. Qi: 1 hCRTY 1 1 HENEVER a visitor is shown over the University of North Carolina, one of the first places to which he is taken is the Chemistry Building. The reason is not primarily because the building is a good building and the laboratories good laboratories. They are really excellent ; but the main reason is that they are always full of people who are working hard, and seem to be glad of it. The visitor does not need to be told that notable work has been produced and is being produced there. He knows at once that he has struck a live, productive spot. If he is a wise visitor, he doesn ' t ask what peculiar local conditions make chemistry so important. He knows the answer. He knows that the atmosphere of successful, cheerful, hard work must be the reflection of a personality at the head of the laboratories. Dr. Charles Holmes Herty is just rounding out a decade of service as head of the Department of Chemistry. He was born in Georgia, and received his early training in the Georgia Military and Agricultural College, and in the University of Georgia (Ph.B. 1886). He received his doctor ' s degree at Johns Hopkins in 1890, and then studied in Berlin and Ziirich. He was Adjunct Professor of Chemistry in the University of Georgia, and after that, before coming to the University of North Carolina as full pro- fessor in 1905, did practical work in the turpentine forests of the South that may be said to have revolutionized the great turpentine industry. His cup and gutter system of gather- ing turpentine, according to figures given in the World ' s Work, increases the profits of the turpentine business thirteen millions of dollars a year. After making such a contribution to the progress of his section, a man might be excused if he relaxed his energies a trifle. But Doctor Herty has steadily increased and widened his activities. He is a member of the leading organizations in his field of knowl- edge, both in this country and abroad, and a councillor-at-large of the American Chemical Society. In addition to the work of carrying on a department that has three full professors and numerous assistants, Doctor Herty has shown the most loyal and lively interest in all 1

DEDICATION the affairs of the college. In his own student days he was a successful athlete, and ever since he has kept a strong and sympathetic connection with all student activities. The athletic field at the University of Georgia bears his name, and ever since he has been in North Carolina he has given generously of his time and thought to the vexing questions of athletic managen-.ent. He has served on the Faculty Committee on Athletics for almost ten years, and on other committees without number, where his tact, sympathy, and broad-visioned wisdom have been invaluable. It has been the same way in the affairs of the town. In business affairs, and in the affairs of citizenship. Doctor Herty has been a leading factor in bringing to a success- ful issue many things that had long been desired, but that for one reason or another could not be carr:ed out. As school commissioner and as alderman, he was a leader in success- ful campaigns for a better school, for better sanitation in the town, for better roads in the county. Always good-tempered and tolerant, and ready to give thought, money, energy, and whatever else the occasion required. Doctor Herty has been one of the best citizens the town of Chapel Hill has ever had. The Yackety Yack is dedicated to him not merely as a teacher, a scientist, a good citizen; but as a combination of all these. He is the fine sort of college professor that the big men in his special field cannot help but admire, and the average man on the street cannot help hut like. 9iL Si
