BELOW: Bursar Elliott B. Earnshaw who this session rounds out 40 years in the bursar's office of Wake Forest College. Handling the financial affairs of a college such as Wake Forest, and making ends meet, would have caused the average man to sour on the job aml give up years ago, but not so with the director of our exchequer. He's not only done the job, but he's done it pleasantly and with a poise and friendliness that have been woven de fi ­ nitely into the so-called "Wake Forest Spirit" of ten generations of our alumni. He has not only lived up to his motto: "Everybody who comes into this office must feel that he has had a square deal," but he has done a world of other worthwhile things as w e ll. We sha n't list them now, for fear that it would appear tha t we a re h er e to "bury Caesar," rather than to praise him. Our heartiest felicitations to you, Mr. Earnshaw, and to your excellent wife, the former Edith Taylor, and many more years of ABOVE: First Baptist Church of Winston-Salem, Dr. Ralph service to you both in your friendly office in Wait Ha ll. A. Herring '21, pastor. In this issue we had planned to run an eight-page layout of scenes and facts pertaining to Wake Forest's future home in Winston-Salem; but, due to technical difficulties, we'll postpone publication of that until fall and give you the church now-which, after all, should serve as an acceptable introduction! You can be on the lookout, however, in the October issue for a two­ page center spread of the architect's map of the proposed Wake Forest campus at Reynolda, showing its location with respect to the city and the tentative sites for various buildings, etc.

At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, Jens F. Larsen of New York City, was designated architect, with William H. Deitrick '16, of Raleigh, and Northup and O'Brien of Winston-Salem as associates. Deitrick designed all of the new buildings on the present Wake Forest campus, and Northup and O'Brien are leading architects in the Winston-Salem area. Larsen, who made original sketches and preliminary plans for the campus at Reyn­ olda, has planned the new campuses at Raleigh, Colby, Dartmouth, and other reputable institutions.
