University of North Carolina Chapel Hill - Yackety Yack Yearbook (Chapel Hill, NC)

We, the students of the University of North Carolina, dedicate this fifty-ninth vohime of the Yackety Yack to William Donald Carmichael, Sr., a true Carolina gentleman. A graduate of the University in the class of 1897, Mr. Carmichael, after an active student life, went into the service of teaching. He later became associated with the firm of Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company, and retired as Vice-President in 1942. His regard for and loyalty to the University has always been a large part of his life, and his interest and beneficence to his Alma Mater are a matter of record. Mr. Carmichael can be looked to as a symbol of the Carolina way of life. He has instilled his love for his school in the generations that followed him. His four sons and the three of his grandchildren who have reached college age have attended Carolina. It is with pride that we dedicate this book to a Tar Heel born and bred , William D. Carmichael, Sr.

GRAHAM. Preudeiit will I AM D. CAR MICH A EI,. JR. Conlroller and Businesf AUinaxer TO THE CLASS OF 1949: We appreciate the opportunity to express through the lackety Yack our congratula- tions and best wishes to the members of the Class of 1949 and to all of the students, faculty, and administrative staff who have cooperated to make this a memorable year in the life of Alma Mater. The members of the Senior Class, through their leadership on the campus and in cooperation with many groups and agencies, have, in spite of our congestion and frustra- tion, made several significant contributions to campus life and University progress. The isest orientation program for new students was carried through at the beginning of the college year and has been followed up by student leaders in a personal and effective way. Freshman Assembly was reestablished; the Interdormitory Council reinvigorated with its potentialities for dormitory self-government; the Student-Faculty Dance Committee reorganized for improvement of t ' ne University dances; conduct before, during, and after football games improved; house discussion groups inaugurated, filling a real need in dormitory and fraternity life; organization by the president of this student body in cooperation with the presidents of the student body at the Woman ' s College and at State College of the Greater University Student Council for the presentation of the Univer- sity ' s needs to the citizens of the State and a program for constructive relations in the three-fold University family; and inauguration this spring by the Pl-d Beta tCappa of plans for an annual University Convocation of faculty and students devoted to the recog- nition of the central place of scholarship in the life of students and the purpose of the University. The Student Legislature, the Honor Councils, the literary societies, the student publications, intercollegiate and intermural debates, the musical and the dramatic associations have afforded a real outlet for the student ' s participation in his own education. The churches of the community and the campus religious organizations have in their various and vigorous ways emphasized the need and value of the spiritual conception of God as the Father and- youth as the hopeful brother of all men. We appreciate deeply the serious tone of work and citizenship which our thousands of veterans and their self-sacrificing wives continue to give to the spirit of this place, meriting our cooperation so that we can do our utmost for those who in critical years risked their all for the freedom of us all. The Class of 1949 has left a rich legacy to Alma Mater. Kay the spirit of honor, freedom, scholarship, and the dedication of Alina Mater to the moral autonomy of the individual, to the public service, and to the spiritual sense of human brotherhood always be a part of your heritage in this University. Sincerely yours. C A. Cuujiz. ( ■ c A- O Jtu LAyU. Frank P. Graham
