a uear 1 M NORTH e RQLINA We pause one hundred and fifty years later to express our appreciation to the far-seeing founders of the University of North Carolina for the heritage that they have given us. To the pioneers who led in the establishment of democracy for a free people, in the education of that free people, in the birth of the first state university, the student body is deeply grateful. In spite of opposition from those who considered it a hot-bed of skepticism and indiscretion, in spite of the ebb and flow of financial currents, in spite of the demands ofy ars Jijd their aftermaths, the University has grown. Today we are a part of the GreaterfiJniver tyN»f the State of North Carolina; today we are an educational leader in our af P fi he ' So tU, and in the Nation.

l i e .UJedlcat DUH LOYALTIES Coach Robert Allison Fetzer came to our campus in 1921. Then, he was half of the Univer- sity of North Carolina ' s coaching staff. Now, Coach Bob, as he is affectionately known to all students, faculty, and alumni, is the Director of our Athletic Department — a department that is the envy of every school in the nation. His program with its expanding staff, facilities, and schedules has advanced his theme, Athletics for All. Quietly, modestly, and yet effectively Coach Bob has sought to give all athletic squads, and through them the student community, lasting qualities of sportsmanship. He often speaks of an intangible something that should characterize Carolina teams and their student sup- porters. This is sportsmanship, fair play, and high morale. His own influence has been largely responsible for instilling these qualities into University athletics, and in many respects Coach Bob ' s own character has given that intangible something reality. It is with highest esteem that the Class of nineteen hundred and forty dedicates its Yackety Yack to Coach Robert Allison Fetzer.
