JOHN SPRUNT HILL John Sprvnt HilL SPRUNT HILL was born near Faison, North Carolina, on JOHNMarch 17th, 1869. His parents, William D. Hill and Frances Diana Faison, were both descendants of families who moved to the eastern part of this State from Virginia in 1770. Here they acquired large property interests, and have ever been leaders in the community. Hill entered the University in September, 1885, at the age of six- teen. He soon was mai'ked as a man of unusual powers as a student, and as a man of affairs. He joined here the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, and was one of the founders of the Order of Gimghouls. He easily led his class in scholarship, graduating maxima cum laudew'iXh. the Class of 1889. He delivered the Philosophical Oration at Com- mencement, and missed being Valedictorian by a small fraction of a point.

This is a great step in eliminating the mental deficients." While the student acknowledged that, "The wide scope of the law may permit it to be used politically,"he rer.iained convinced that, "the eugenic result will outweigh any evil practice, if any [should occur]. "l A year later, in June of 1935, another student wrote, The greatAmerican problem is the gradual amalgamation, now in progress, of the variousand widely differing races which occupy our land. All who have given any serious consideration to this question, uninfluencedby sentimentality or self-interest are compelled to admit that the intermixture of races as diverse as the white and the Negro certainly injures or destroys the most specialized qualities of the white race ...
