Book Description
Excerpt from The Alumni Review, Vol. 7: May, 1919 The review has purposely refrained from saying anything relative to the most momentous question now before the University the election of a president to direct it to a higher destiny in the sister hood of universities, and to make it a greater, more serviceable institution to North Carolina. However, it believes that as the organ of the alumni, it has the right to express directly and as positively as it can the opinions which it holds. First of all, it would make clear the fact which it believes is generally accepted in educational circles today: Carolina is the most alert university in the South. In the second place, the University's income has been more than doubled in the past six years and its responsibilities to the State' of North Carolina are correspondingly increased. In the third place, its student body and faculty and alumni have become accustomed to respond to distinctive leadership and feel a profound pride in Carolina's achievements. Furthermore, the new order ushered in by the war, calls for wide vision and large ability on the part of educational leaders and especially on the part of the president of this aggressive, effective University.
