32 1935 YACKETY YACK FACULTY y- )- THE GRADUATE SCHOOL Interest in research and advanced learning ac- companied the origin and history of the Univer- sity. General William R. Davie included gradu- ] ate work in his project of the institution, and post- graduate work in certain courses was undertaken : before the Civil War regulations governing it • ' , being incorporated in the catalogue of 1854. Up- { on the reopening of the University after the War, - the plan for a graduate school was formulated — ; in the year 1876 — at the same time as the foun- ) dation of Johns Hopkins. The School was given a Dean in 1904. It was reorganized in 1919-1920 ) under the leadership of Dr. Greenlaw and a spe- ■; cial committee, and experienced an impressive j development, as was indicated by the election of ■: the University to membership in the Association j of American Universities in 1922. J The Graduate school finds its province in the ; fostering of research, in training students to be- ' come investigators and teachers in special fields of learning, in the application of research meth- ods to the problems of society and industry, and in supplying opportunity for further study by those who have already completed a college course. It is in these four fields that the Gradu- ate School of the University of North Carolina does its work. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Front Row: Taylor, Booker, Thrall, Coffnian, Bond. Paine.
