DR. MASSIE INSTALLED AT NCC
New President Lauded
By His Former Teacher
DURHAM— Dr. Henry Gilman,
speaking Saturday at inauguration
ceremonies for Dr. Samuel P. Mas
sie as president of North Carolina
College, said. "President Massie Is
one whose background and training
has been in science, particularly
chemistry. In the modest lifetime
of North Carolina College, this is
a noteworthy event: a scientist
president In a liberal arts college."
Dr. Gltlman. who was Presi
dent Massle's major professor
while Massie pursued his Ph.D.
In organic chemistry at lowa
Stale University, was guest
speaker on the Inaugural Pro
gram.
Although he delivered remarks
of tribute to Dr. Massie at the out
door ceremony, sensitivity to the
bright daylight following a recent
eye operation prevented his read

read for him by Dr. Helen G. Ed

The victim of the brutal

an uncommon oocuraneo. and the
number of college and university
presidents who have been or are
scientists has grown."
Developing the theme, "Liberal
Art* and the Scientist" Dr. Gil
man's paper stated: "The leader of
scholarship must be a scholar, aa
the leader of an army must be a
soldier, first, last, and always. Dr.
Massie fulfills this requirement.
He obtained his masters of arts
degree in chemistry at Fisk Univer
sity. During World War II he did
splendid research in the area of
antimalanals. a very pressing seg
ment of research for new and ef
fective anlimalarlal drugs when so
many of our soldiers, sailors and
marines moved into malaria-infest
ed regions in the South Pacific. He
was searching for an improved sub
stitute for quinine to releave suf
fering."
Dr. Mamie's life, the speaker
said, "provides a picture of a
young man who has achieved a
measure of distinction aa a
teacher and administrator, In
and out of acedamk circles. It
reflects a man of groat energy,
varied Interests, and high en
thusiasms.
'To produce the cultivated man.
or the broadly educated man, has
long been supposed to be one of
the fundamental objects of syste
matic and thorough education." Dr
Edmonds added. "It matters little
whether an * educational leader Is
trained in the avenues of science 01-
in liberal arts, so long at the re

By ttiis I mean 'cultivated man'
in the highest sense, a man of quick
peiceptions. broad sympathise, and
wide interests; responsive, but In
dependent; self-reliant, but defer
ential; loving truth and candor, but
also moderation and proportion;
courageous, but gentile; possessing
common sense to loeep In tune with
the common man; not finished, but
perfecting.''
