us newspaper, published daily ex
cept Monday. The paper is run en
tirely by .students and is not sub
ject to control by faculty or ad
ministration. It has no connection
with the Scnool of Journalism, al
though journalism students often
work on the staff.
The paper often has had its
roimh moments. Twice in the last
three ye irs the editor has been
forcri to run in a recall election
bec.iue of students' dissatisfaction
with the editorial policies. The
first lecall was unsuccessful; last
year the editor, Neil Bass of Spring
Hope, was voted out of office. He
was replaced by Douglas Ei.elc
from Statcsvillc.
Kriilor for this year is Curtis
Gan. senior from Waj ncsville. .
The, occasion will be the dedica
tion of the William Hayes Ackland
Art Center, planned for September
20. National art figures as well as
state officials will be present for
the opening of the newly-completed
museum1.
Aeklaiul, a Washington. D. C. at
torney, was born, reared and edu
cated in Tennessee. But he thought
beyond state boundaries in his
dreams of creating a great South
ern univcitoity art center.
Physical evidence of that dream
is a hano'some brick building, lo
cated on the northwest corner of
the University campus, fronting on
Columbia t. near its intersection
with Franklin St.

entire estate be used to construct
a memorial building and to acquire
ait objects, for exhibition in the
fnuscum.
Considerable legal action preceded
the 'building of the art center at
UXC. Acklacnd had originally named
Duke University as recipient of the
estate, with UXC and Rollins Col
lege as second choices, but later
amended litis will to stipulate Duke
only.
work on include those put out for
orientation purposes, such as the
Carolina Handbook, the Woman's
Handbook, and the Interfraternity
Handbook.
Students have been invited to
work on the publication of their
choice. '
Duke's rejection of toe offer, fol
lowing Ackland's death, saw the
beginning of six years of litigation.
In a 1943 decision, at the start of
litigation, the U. S. Court of Ap
peals for the District of Columbia
stated:
"The actual beneficiaries of the
trust were intended to be students
and other members of the public
throughout the South, interested i.i
art, who 'should visit and use the
building ...
"The dominant idea in the mind
of (Mr. Ackland) was the cause
of art in the South. He intendec.
that the site of his enterprise
should be a university, with its well
known accompaniment of students,
instructors, research and publica
tion facilities, permanence of admin
istration and of educational purposes."
Students at UXC will certainly
benefit from the facilities of the
center, which provides teaching and
creative space for the Department
of Art, formerly housed in Person
Hall and part of Caldwell Hall.
Many visitors from the general
public who come to enjoy art in ti e
years ahead will certainly fulfill the
dream of the Tenncssean.
William Hayes Ackland grew up
in a setting which ca.t the mold
for his later interest in art and all
things cultural.
His parents were Col. Joseph
Alexander Smith Acklen, an Ala
bama attorney who saw Army serv
ice during the Mexican War, and
Adelicia Hayes Acklen. Mrs. Ack
len had been married first to Isaac
Franklin, a wealthy Southern plant
er who owned property in Tennes
see and in Louisiana.
The family home, "Belmont,"
near Nashville, Tenn., has been de
scribed as possessing an "atmos
phere of culture and refinement."
Ranked as one of the finest in the in life, he visited leading art gal-
south, it claimed "lawns laid out
after the manner of Hampton Court
and the mansion furnished with
valuable paintings, pictures, rugs,
china and other objects of art."
After his upbringing in such an
environment, Ackland took under
graduate work at Nashville Univer
sity and receved his law degree at
Vanderbilt University.

and since then has given perform

States. An avid student of art and
literature, he spoke French and
German fluently, and was well
versed in Greek and Latin. The
classics, modem literature and ori
ental religions were other areas of
his knowledge.
Ackland was well aware of the
lack of facilities in the south for
the study and appreciation of art
and irelt that a great need existed
for an outstanding art center.
Dignitaries will gather in Chapel
Hill in less than a month to mark
the realization of a dream come
true.
