Rhodes Alumni A-16 A Day InThe life

By Helen Watkins Norman or a man whose calendar gets so crowded it must be scheduled a yearF in advance, James H. Daughdrill Jr. seems strangely oblivious to time. Thrust this goal-oriented chief executive of Rhodes into a philosophical discussion with a few students or faculty, give him a potential donor and the chance to talk about the meaning of philanthropy, lead him to a conversation about Rhodes' mission and its future, and the 18th president of Rhodes will, almost without fail, forget to check the index card of appointments that he dutifully stuffs into his shirt pocket at 8:30 a.m. each morning.
