Gentry got Elon’s first score just
two minutes into the second period
with a 9-yard sprint that climaxed
a 71-yard drive. A Wheless toss to
Fred Stewart for 35 yards was top

up the second score with a pass
interception at midfield, and Gentry
raced 40 yards to the three, from
where Wheless bucked across.
The third score was of the

trustees were honoring one of the
outstanding figures in Elon College
history, for Dr. Newman was not |
only a charter member of the col-|
lege faculty, he continued as a
faculty member for many years and
was present on the campus for the
fiftieth anniversary of the college’s
founding.
A native of Isle of Wight County,
Va., Dr. Newman was educated at
the University of North Carolina
and later received his Ph.D. from
Yale University. He taught at his-
oric Sutiolk Institute in Virginia
and later was a faculty member ai
Antioch College in Yellow Springs
Ohio, from which he came south in
1886 to become head of the Graham
Normal College.
When the Graham Institution was
transformed into Elon College ir
1889, Dr. Newman became one of
the charter members of the Eh
laculty, serving as professor of
Greek and Bible and Mathematics.
He was still a faculty member
fifty years later at the Golden an
niversary observance and was pai
high tribute at that time by Dr. E
'. Moffett, who spoke on the sub
ject of Elon's original faculty.
Dr. Moffett, who was himself one
of the charter faculty and the third
ir.'sident of the colleg’, s.iid of Dr.
y?WTnnn at that time: “And then
there's Dr J. U. Newman, A.B.,
M A., Ph D and D.D., that wonder
ful member of the first faculty,
who taught Greek and Bible and
Mathematics, and who all these
years has remained faithful to the
•■'Jiege through trials and tribula
tions, days of doubt and sometinies
of almost despair, but who always
kept his forhead lifted to the future
an deyes set on a vision that he
had in 1890 of what Elon College
might be.”
ij c)l his five children attended
Elon College; and more than fifty
n('rnl)ers of his immediate family
connections are Elon graduates.
One of hii daughters. Miss Lila
Newman, followed her father’s foot
steps as a beloved member of the
Elon faculty, having retired only
two years ago after long and fine
service. She still resides near the
campus and is a familiar figure at
aU campus events.
