1 FRANK PORTER GRAHAM DEDICATION This volume of the Yackety Yack is dedicated to Frank Porter Graham by that university generation which knew him in the classroom as a sterling teacher, master workman in his chosen field, and blood-brother in the spirit to all who labor for human justice everywhere. By this dedication we express our affectionate gratitude to a student-comrade and teacher and our confident hopes for Alma Mater under his guidance.

FOREW ORD IN the North Carolina Room in the University Library is a book-shelf on which stands the file of the University annuals — the HeUenian, 1890 to 1900, the Yackety Yack, 1901 to 1930. The HeUenian, published by the fraternities, portrayed the total campus scene as visualized by fraternity men. The Yackety Yack, staffed by representatives from all organizations of the campus, has unfolded annually a more extensive view. The Yackety Yack for 1931, the 41st in the combined series, embodying the organizations, activities, and traditions of its predecessors, maintains their essential unity and carries them in new directions. The book itself marks a departure in its physical form and dress. It becomes a small folio ; sticks to simple black and white, without borders, in letter press; introduces the delicacy of the etcher ' s art in its illustrations ; and presents itself in a binding of rough red buckram, white backbone, and gold lettering similar to the more artistically printed books of the best modern presses. Inside the cover other added features appear. R. D. W. Connor presents an historical sketch of the University with por- traits of Davie and eight presidents. An article on the University Administration, including not only the deans but all the admin- istrative officers, shows the University organization at work. Another division, devoted to the General Alumni Association, the Alumni Loyalty Fund, and other related alumni interests, puts the campus in touch with what these important organizations do outside the University. The 1931 Class Poem, History, Last Will and Testament, Prophecy, and Statistics, formerly reserved for Class Day, con- stitute the final adieu of Nineteen Thirty-one, and round out a volume that will stir the imagination of the campus, and, in time, worthily take its place on the library shelf with its predecessors.
