[onlE 74336 iSMmsis^M^mms^fimm To Coach John C Caddell, moulder of champions and dean of North Carolina coaches, this 1937 Howler is dedicated by the staff, with appreciation for his loyalty to Wake Forest College For more than a dozen years, Cooch Caddell has taken boys from little towns nearby, shaped them into chomoionship baseball teams, and fed them to the big leagues. Although Wake Forest is within a stone's throw of colleges which lead the nation in athletics, her aggregation of unheralded sandlot stars whip their neighbors with almost monotonous consistency There is nothing magical about this seeming miracle except for the personality of Coach Caddell He himself is a gentleman and inspires the same quality in his players The baseball boys fight through to the end because they highly respect the dignified dairyman who, singlehonded, has turned out championship teams ever since he first took over the team. A Wake Forest resident from childhood, Caddel! has remained loyal to his native heath and cast his lot with his home community in spite of enticing offers to go elsewhere. When a team of his again took the state championship lost spring congratulations poured in from every section of the state An Asheville lawyer wrote "To John Caddell, Premier North Carolina Coach, Prince of Gentlemen, Wake Forest, North Carolina If the rhododendron were not to bloom this year it would not be as " surprising as if your baseball team were not to moke a creditable showing ^olm C GaddeLL as* K i nri^il^^^^SE^mmm^Bm^amam team was led by S R Edwards, Pitcher State THISChampions before such a title was officially given, we salute these men for the standard they set in good sportsmanship by which future baseball teams of Wake Forest College might be measured. Winning five games in as many starts is the only record we have of this team. However, the playing of such men as Edwards, Turner, King, Smith, Walker, Vann, J. Turner, Richardson' Goodwyn, Hamrick, and Wiggs, will long be remembered. !^^!^*nsn5gt» BH IMIMIMMI (1 ) Dr. Hubert Poteat; (2) Dr. B, J.

KITCHIN, B.A., M.D., LL.D., F.A.C.P. President and Professor of Physiology The record of the man who directs the destiny of Woke Forest College is too well known to warrant recital in these poges^ From a family famous in its own right, Thurman Delna Kitchin upholds splendidly the best traditions bequeathed him by a father and two famous brothers. Even those who have been associated with him since he assumed the Presidency can little estimate the value of the services he is rendering. Leave to coming years and future historians the story of the man and his work— saga of courage and vision, an epoch in the history of a great institution. ELLIOT B, EARNSHAW, M.A. Bursar and Secretary Superintendent of College Hospital The office of Bursar combines the various business activities of the college together with the duties and responsibilities of all financial transactions Elliot B Earnshaw has occupied the position for thirty years, ho;. served as Superintendent of the College Hospital for c long period, and in addition is secretary to the board of trustees During this time he has conducted his office in such a friendly and pleasant manner that he counts among his friends every student with whom he has come into contact.

His office receives and records in permanent form the scho- lastic standing of all students The present Registrar, Grady S Patterson, has occu- pied his position for eleven years. During this period he has introduced thoroughly modern and efficient methods into what was once a very congested office. He is recognized as an authority in his field, and he this year headed the Association of North Carolina Registrars. m^mm DANIEL BRYAN, M.A., Ph.D. Dean of fhe College and Professor of Education THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS For fourteen years Dr Bryan has served the college as Dean, moulding the characters of Wake Forest men, and inspiring love and confidence in all with whom he comes in contact. His work under three presidents has caused members of the faculty and student body to admire him as strong counselor and o real man His cooperation ond far-sightedness are doing much to advance the standing of the school in every field. The largest division of the college, the School of Liberal Arts, embraces a total of thirteen distinct departments of instruction with a student enrollment of nearly 925 and a faculty of 34 including five teaching fellows The oldest unit of Wake Forest, this division has operated since the founding of the college in 1834. During the 103 years since the doors of the institution were first opened thousands of men have gone away to make brilliant records as teachers, ministers, journalists, men of business, and as citizens of the state and nation. Sixty-four years of success- fully training men elapsed before the college's first professional school —the School of Law- was added in 1894. Eight years later, in 1902, the second professional unit of operation the School of Medicine- -was established Despite the fact that the two professional schools hove grown to amazing proportions during their comparatively short period of existence, the School of Liberal Arts has grown along with them in both prestige and numbers The faculty has enjoyed numerous additions, and the stu- dent enrollment has kept pace Physical equipment is altogether complete, numerous additions in buildings and in work ma- terials hoving been made within recent years. The newest additions are Woit Hall, housing fhe odministrative offices and classrooms, a remodeled old gymnasium that now serves as headquar- ters for the Social Science Department, a new gymnosium serving students in all three college divisions, and a new dormitory that houses five fraternities. _ .ja'jy«>^-ji NEEDHAM Y.
