The Years Ahead I request that this institution secure for its offices, trustees, and faculty, men of such outstanding character, ability, and vision as will insure its at­ taining and maintaining a place of real leadershp in the educational world. . . James B. Duke THE INDENTURE OF TRUST We see in the appointment of Dr. Douglas M. Knight as President of the University a brilliant compliance with Mr. Duke's exhortation that the University select leaders of exceptional ability. We have watched with extreme interest the efforts of the past few years toward building this University from the "leading private institution in the South" to one of best in the nation and world. We are pleased to see the introduction of a youthful President with a record of aggressive developmental endeavors. Dr. Knight's practice at Lawrence of teaching while carrying out his presidential duties suggests that he is a man who is down-to-earth, and well-equipped for practical as well as theoretical pursuits. He has not lost touch with the students, who are the substance of a school at any given time. Such a man should be a source of challenge and inspiration to the entire University community. We heartily commend the Board of Trustees for their selection. THERE ARE THOSE WHO believe that the South is not a context for progress — that there is too much nostalgia and resistance to change for the South to take the lead in intellectual spheres. Certainly the schools of the Northeast have been the most eminent for many years, having in the first place a substantial chronological advantage. It will be some time be­ fore we can approach them in academic caliber, salaries notwithstanding. Gradually, however, industry and commerce have moved Southward, stimulating the more liberal elements. Today the opportunities for this re­ gion of the nation are unlimited. What is needed in all facets of Southern life is the vital leadership that we anticipate Dr. Knight will give here. As a growing institution in a maturing tradition, this University should be the first Southern school to leave its enduring mark on the national and in­ ternational level. The selection of a man so obviously dynamic, who at 41 already has behind him nine years at the helm of a distinguished college, is the great­ est single step taken in recent years toward enhancing this University's position. A particular advantage of Dr. Knight's youth is the promise it gives of a sustained program of advancement for the University. The decided progress of the University under President Few can be attributed largely to the unity maintained by his long tenure. Turnover is notorious for creat­ ing inefficiencies in long-range plans. While we have nothing against the University's elder statesmen per se, we are convinced that this w.as no time for a selection based on venerability. Although there is no guarantee of longevity in Dr. Knight's appointment, it is clear that the Trustees con­ sidered this aspect and gave it deserved weight. TODAY, WHILE WE ARE striving for national stature analogous to our current standing in the South, we may hope that Dr. Knight's dyna­ mism will combine with stability of purpose to bring the academic side of the University into national prominence. Most particularly, we would like to see Duke promoted in the eyes of her colleagues—those who placed her (justly enough) low among the "best" in a national survey five years ago. Our new President is a man of dimensions—English scholar, jazz en­ thusiast, approachable, interested directly in the students, an effective ad­ ministrator; add to this combination the rising caliber of the freshman classes and the desire for excellence that is breeding here and we find the ingredients of a juvenescence which will soon lead this University to new heights of achievement.
