ROBERT BURTON HOUSE 2)..„ „ ADMINISTRATION The friendliness and genuine courtesy which are the unmistakable message of his warm handshake have endeared Dean House to every Carolina student. And behind that neighborly clasp is a magnificent man, an alert, deep-thinking, learned, informal, philosophical, sincere, and keenly humorous man whose grip is enduring. Product of the University ' s tried and historic concepts in 1916, he is their distinguished guardian and purveyor in 1940. In stimulating young people to adopt the ancient lesson of the University, and to make of themselves true scholarly gentlemen and useful citizens no man does a more effective job than Dean House. And this he does by broad inspiration of example as well as by forceful preachment. Stalwart defender of the University ' s character, ready colleague in every stu- dent enterprise, powerful influence for simplicity, harmony and service to the state, he is a matchless force in the lives of Carolina Students. 24

«Z . J ' yank J ortei Lji an am President Graham of the University of North Carolina is not long in becoming Dr. Frank to his students, and they Susie Jones and Sam Smith to him. His ability to remember names, his mischievous sense of humor, and his deep insight into student problems are only a few of his endearing qualities. He is an integral and inseparable part of the Carolina tradition. His greatest pride is in being every student ' s little friend . 23

FRANCIS FOSTER HRADSHAW 2)-« » STUDENTS From the spirit of Francis F. Bradshaw have emanated many of the line pre- cepts which won for the University its distinguished position in America. For twenty years as Dean of Students he has been an indomitable champion of student self-government and loyal defender of the mstitution ' s fundamental integrity. Here is a man as impartial as any, a resolute foe of prejudice and a convincing advocate of truth. In a place where the threat of dogma presses relentlessly against men ' s convictions he has maintained courageous allegiance to intellec- tual honesty. At the hands of no man would virtue get more ready praise, or Satan a more honest hearing. Mild of manner, his strength lies not in an external defiance but in the quiet infallibility of logic, kindliness, and patience. In a college community where the trials and dilemmas of youth strike continuously, his insight, sympathy, and understanding are the unfailing refuge of the bewildered and distressed.
