Id behalf of all the gradúate |
•tudents who have attended Ap
palachian State Teachers College,
we. the preaent membera oí the
Gradúate Club, wíah to expresa
out sincere thanks te the friend
*» recently lost.
Mr. Chappei Wilson was bom on
a farm in Robetón Counly alxty
ata year» ago. He fought for hia
country in World War I and waa
sertoualy wounded Mr. Wilson
graduated from Wake Foreat Col
lege with an A. B. degree in 1020,
and after teaching ln public
achoola of North Carolina, carne
to Boonc to work with Dr. Dough
erty in 1982. He received his
Master of Arta degree from Pea
body College in 1830.
Mr. Wilaon aerved Appalachian
in muy waya. He waa a teacher,
principal of the laboratory school,
director of the laboratory schools.
director of tummer school, and
Dean of Gradúate Studies. He was
Vnown throughout the country as
the "good will ambasiador" of
Boone and Appalachian State
Teachers College. Any time Mr.
Wilson was in a group the topic of
diacusalon changed to the out
standing characteristics of Boone
and Appalachian State Teachers
College. People liitened to him
because he believed what he said.
We knew Mr. Wilson best as the
Dean of Gradúate Studies. Thrpugh
hi* own perserverance he founded
the Gradúate School at Appalach
ian State Teachers College, and
saw to lt that the gradúate pro
gram became fully accredited. It
is due to hia counseling and en
couragement that many students
now hold maater's degrees. We,
the preient members of the grad
úate claaa can count many among
us who would not be here if it had
not been for Mr. Wllson't «o
couragement. Me llked to mc pee- <

Mr WUsod was a man who dld j
not sacrifice bis principios and be
liefs ln order to faln friends. We,
tbe students who kaew him, ad
mlred him moat for what he was
and mourn the fact that other
young people will not have him to
belp push them up the ladder in
the field of education.
