Dr. Foust Vice President at Greensboro DR. JULIUS ISAAC FOUST Dr. Foust was installed as president of the Woman ' s College in 1906, just eleven years after his graduation from the University. He has served continuously since that time. Before his appoint- ment to the presidency of this institution he was principal of schools at Goldsboro and later superintendent of schools at Wilson. While at the Uni- versity Dr. Foust was pres- ident of the Dialectic Senate and commencement marshal. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Dur- ing his administration the Woman ' s College has taken great strides forward. At the time that he became pres- ident, the average graduating class was only thirty. Today over three hundred finely educated young women are graduated at commencement each year. Dr. Graham Chancellor of the Greater Uni- versity of North Carolina B I G R A P H DR. FRANK PORTER GRAHAM With the consolidation of the three institutions and his subsequent election as head of the Greater University Dr. Graham has achieved the highest position in education which the state has to offer. Dr. Graham received his A.B. degree from the University in 1909. In 1915 he was granted an MA. from Colum- bia. This same institution bestowed the degree of doctor of letters on him in 1931. Davidson College and Bir- mingham Southern honored him with a LL.D., and Catawba College granted him a D.L.C. Following his graduation from the Uni- versity Dr. Graham served as an instructor of English in the Raleigh high school. Prior to his election as president of the University following the resignation of Dr. H. W. Chase, Dr. Graham occupied the position as professor of History at the University. In 1918 Dr. Graham served as second lieutenant and then as first lieutenant in the United States Marines. While at the University Dr. Graham was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Kappa Alpha, Sigma Upsilon, and Golden Fleece. He was also editor of the Tar Heel. Dr. Brooks Vice President at Raleigh DR. EUGENE CLYDE BROOKS After a brilliant career as an educator in the state Dr. Brooks in 1923 was appointed to head State College. Since he became president of that institution it has become one of the finest technological schools in the country and ranks as the best in the South in regard to the study of textiles. Dr. Brooks re- ceived his A.B. degree from Trinity College in 1894. In 1918 Davidson College honored him with a Litt.D. Trinity College honored him with a LL.D. in 1919 and the follow- ing year the University bestowed a like degree upon him. Before assuming the presidency of State College Dr. Brooks was superintend- ent of schools at Monroe, Kinston, and Goldsboro, and professor of History a n d Educational Science at Trinity College. He was also state superintendent of public in- struction. Twenty-three

X X Physics Building at Raleigh lie able to serve its original purpose and devote itself mainly to a curriculum of a techno- logical and agricultural nature. While the Woman ' s College will direct all of its resources towards the manifold training of young women in the fields administered by a pre- eminent college of arts and sciences. At Chapel Hill will be found the School of Grad- uate Education, courses in liberal arts and pure science, School of Commerce, School of Library Administration, Pharmacy School, School of Law, Medical School, School of Public Administration, and all other instruction not fully taken care of by the other two divisions. Under this plan each division of ' the University will specialize in the fields for which it is best fitted to offer instruction of a superior nature. As a result of its ability to concentrate on agriculture ami applied science, the Raleigh division will attain a posi- tion comparable with that of the country ' s greatest technical schools; the Woman ' s College will devote all of its energies toward the development of its fine and liberal arts curriculum and will take its place among the really great woman ' s colleges of the nation; and the division at Chapel Hill because of the decrease in the number of fields encompassed will be able to offer instruction of a higher quality in pure science, liberal arts, commerce, graduate research, etc. It is indeed true that each of the institutions has accomplished much anil has achieved a fine reputation, but with their facilities combined in a mutually cooperative organization, with each division contributing a superlative grade of instruction in a definite field, it is inconceivable that the Greater University of North Carolina will fail to reach heights comparable with any institution in the world.
