Dr. C. C. Carpenter Dean of Medical School a helping hand. Dr. D. B. Bryan has come to lie known as the Student ' s friend. His knowledge of a real life is seldom rivaled in true judgment. The Dean represents a vital part of the tradition which Wake Forest has found to be its most formidable cornerstone. In his position as Dean of the Wake Forest School of Medical Sciences. Dr. C. C. Car- penter commands a movement secondary to none in the future development of greater Wake Forest. He came to Wake Forest in 1926. and since that time has been a professor of pathology, assitant to the Dean of Medicine, and now Dean of that widely-recognized de- partment of the institution. With the rise of a four-year school looming on the horizon of our anticipations of an expansive future, we feel that Wake Forest will realize its good fortune in claiming Dr. Carpenter ' s genuine scholarship and administrative efficiency. Having been founded and conducted bv the most able teachers of law in the Southland, the School of Law stands in a class of it- own among Southern law schools. According to records, a higher percentage of lawyers who received their training in the school directed by Dean Dale F. Stansbury have gone on to take places of vital importance in North Carolina law offices than from any other in- stitution in the state. His task, which is done in such a quiet and effective manner, is facilitated through the cooperative and demon- strated ability of a faculty whose record speaks for itself. For thirty-four years Elliott B. Earnshaw has exchanged glances pertaining to deep- reaching matters with every student in the col- lege. His invaluable services to the school as Bursar have been exceeded only by the stu- dents appreciation of his quality as a friend and Christian gentleman. With few words and a bewildering amount of hard work lie Dr. Dale F. Stansbi ri Dean of the Law School

f Dr. Thurman I). Kitchin, President Dr. Daniel B. Bryan. Dean , w, DMINISTRATION HEN we say that Wake Forest men are fortunate in having the benefits (ii leadership under a group of men who are so eminently suited for their positions, we in no measure have resorted to the use of a trite phrase. Instead we are pointing to them in recognition of what the) mean to an institution backed with 106 years of rich tradition. We use this statement to advance the belief thai our school today is still deriving the in- valuable benefits of the wise, capable and far- reaching leadership thai held so firmly through a number of crises in the past. In demonstrating our point, we turn to the president, Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin. During ten years ol progress under bis administration, Wake Forest lias experienced a well-planned and balanced rise in broadening the span of its geographical recognition. But Dr. Kitchin is a man who wouldn ' l be satisfied with a stagnated institution. He comes in the cate- gory d men about whom he recentlj wrote in bis book Doctors in Other Fields. To bis |i M oi doctors who were alsci scientists, artists, poets, and sculpturers, we add another name: Thurman I). Kitchin, progressive leader, builder and scholar. Jusi across the rotunda from the president ' s office, we open a door which bears the in- scription -Dean ' s Office. Behind the portals oi lliis institution within ilsell you will find a man who, uitli unfeigned modesty, can trace the life of Wake Forest in an inimitable man- ner. Mere is a man ulio lias been Dean ol Men for seventeen years. Ever unassuming and always ready to extend the reality of

Mr. E. B. Earnshaw, Bursar Mr. Grady Patterson, Reeistr has won a huge spot oi admiration in the hearts oi all who know him. There ' s another man on the campus who has a job second to none in the way of compli- cated tasks. Grady S. Patterson, Registrar, is the man who stands between what is generally referred to as the College and the Student. One thought of the schedules he arranges, the reports he records, checking of credits, varied and sundry oilier tasks, not to mention answering every possible question at least a thousand time- during the course ol a single year. leaves us wondering that such a man as Mr. Patterson ever lived past his first year in his position. Yet lie lias handled liis position with accuracy, courtesy, and incredible ef- ficiency. These six me :cupy the key positions ol the college. Their duties arc mans and varied. There arc tasks to perform, tasks thai range all the wav from the minute technicalities of [he registrar to the hairdine accuracy of the bursar on to the confusing generalities and specialities ol the president. These men are like the large cogs ol some machine; each is indispensable to the institu- tion he serves; and together they 1 unction with amazing smoothness. The professors are the smaller parts of the machine. They. loo. play their part, although their tasks seem less im- portant in comparison with those ol. for in- stance, the president. Each key man hears a tremendous burden upon his hack. Each ol the three deans has an entire school to supervise, and llii- i merel) a part of his work. ud the other three men are no less important. Perhaps, one of the most obvious attributes ol these men is their uncanny ability ol understanding human character. Hut such an attribute was acquired only alter many years ol intimate association u itli students, and was just another ol the many Capabilities amassed h -ucli men. in
