NCC Community Pledg es Support Faculty Salutes By DR. G. T. KYLE, Dean of the Undergraduate School Traditionally, North Carolina College has prided itself on the high quality of administrators and teachers who have been at tracted to the institution. Presi dent Samuel P. Massie’s train ing suggests that he has the qualifications to perpetuate our traditions of excellency. Our College, like our Nation, has also, traditionally, operated as a free society is expected to operate. We have zealously safe guarded the academic freedom of our teachers. At the same time, however, we have serious ly insisted that our teachers ex hibit a high degree of academic responsibility in keeping with their high trust of academic freedom. We are fortunate in the ex perience that President Massie has had in a variety of colleges as a professor. His appreciation for the rights and privileges of this group will in all likelihood guide his judgment in many areas. It is with a feeling of high hope, then, that we extend the faculty’s welcome to our new president. We are confident that with his guidance, we can ad vance our institution to new heights of Truth and Service. Staff Welcomes By WILLIAM JONES Business Manager On this special occasion, we, the non-teaching personnel of North Carolina College, take this opportunity to v/elcome and congratulate Dr. Samuel Proctor Massie upon his inaugu ration as the third president of North Carolina College. Dr. Massie is being inaugurat ed during the first full month of spring when trees, grass, and flowers are giving evidence of a new birth. We have hope that evidence of new growth and boundless energy as represented with the coming of spring will be symbolic of his administra tion. With faith in his ability as a scholar and administrator, we pledge him our continuing sup port in projecting North Caro lina College into the main stream of educational leader ship in the State and Nation. Students Hail By JAMES E. FERGUSON, II President of Student Government The student body of North Carolina College brings greet ings to the new President of our institution. We are proud to have someone of his stature to assume the reins of leadership of this our beloved institution. Our knowledge of Dr. Samu el P. Massie and our brief asso ciation with him have made us confident that no one could bet ter fill the position, no one could better carry on our tradition of progress, no one could better lead us to the realm of achieve ment in the field of higher edu cation. We place full faith and con fidence in his interest in the students of N.C.C. We have the same faith and confidence in his interest in the betterment of North Carolina College. With this combination of in terest, dedication and compe tence, where then can we go but forward? Mr. President, we welcome you!
