1922 YACKETY YACK Jaaar lEbmarli lEm ramt V V V IN proportion to the number enrolled, the men entering the University at its reopening in 1876 furnished to State and nation a remarkably large group of lead- ers in public and private life. With barely a hundred students in its classrooms, there went forth into life those who rapidly became eminent as judges, doctors, ministers, manufacturers, farmers, and teachers. Prominent among the students of the early days is Isaac Edward Emerson, a native of Chapel Hill, a loyal son of the University, a manufacturing chemist of national reputation, a faithful friend and a tireless, successful man in the business world ever smce he left Alma Mater to begin the battle of life. Captain Emerson, of the Class of ' 79, entered the University in 1876, and soon found his natural bent in the Department ot Science where he specialized chemistry and soon qualified as an assistant m the chemical laboratory. On leaving college, he took a position in a local drug store, but soon went to Baltimore where he began business for himself. His business grew so rapidly that in a few years he was among the leading manufacturing chemists of the country. As the years moved along, he became interested in other lines of business in which he has achieved signal success. As a builder of hotels, or the owner of model farms and herds of high-bred dairy cattle, or the possessor of large landed estates, he has always displayed an almost uncanny vision of the future and a force- ful, constructive power that have ever brought success to his every venture, and yet success has never turned his head, and ever and anon his mind has gone back to his old Chapel Hill home, to the little college town where he first heard the sound of a college bell calling him to preparation for larger life in a far-off city of which he little dreamed in his boyhood days. Time and again, he has been invited to positions in the business world outside of his own chosen line of work, but he has invariably declined those invitations and has pursued steadily and successfully his own calling in his own remarkably successful way. In his home, whether it be for the time being, in his hotel, or at one of his beautiful country estates, or in his palatial summer residence on the ocean front, he is the same unostentatious, sturdy Southern gentleman, the same loyal, devoted f CJQj Five it ■vC

1922 YACKETY YACK Tar Heel, ever unchanged by success and always standing with outstretched hand to welcome the boys he knew ' way back yonder in his college days when old Pres Battle was laying the foundation of the University of today. He was for quite a time a popular member of the Maryland Naval Reserves, hence the title Captain Emerson by which he is so well known in his adopted State. As a lover of athletic sports he has turned his heart back to North Carolina and given to our University Emerson Field, which enables us to play here bi- ennially on native soil, a great football game with the University of Virginia. On two occasions, Carolina has played this classic on Emerson Field, and each time more than ten thousand yelling football fiends have cheered Carolina on to victory, and yet on each occasion there has been deep regret that the generous donor of the field which made the game possible was not there in the great crowd to see not only the victory, but also the pleasure he had made possible for his native State. It is with pleasure that this issue of the Yackety Yack is dedicated to Cap- tain Isaac Edward Emerson, a loyal alumnus, whose splendid career in the business world. Alma Mater has always followed with deep interest and genuine delight. M. C. S. Noble Six
