Dr. Fran cis Pendleton Gaines, 26-jear-old edu caor, was formerly installed today as president of historic Wake Forest Col. lege here. Dr. Gaines, who has been direct ing the actlrities of the college since last fall, was officially welcomed to North Carolina by Governor Angus w. Mclean, after the ceremony of installation bad been conducted by Dr. J. A. Campbell, president of the board of trustees, who is also presi dent of Campbell College. The new president, walking with his predecessor, Dr. William Louis Potest, now president emeritus, lad the academic procession, which open ed the program from the college II brary to the auditorium of Wake For est church. In the rear came Govern. 01 McLean and other speakers, of. ficial delegates, the board of trustees and the faculty. Several Addresses The significance of the event, the importance of the small college In American cultural life, was the theme of addresses by Dr. Potest, speaking for the faculty; Gilbert T. Stephen son, for the alumni; Dr. W. J. Mc Glothlin, president of Furman Uni versity of Greenville, S. C., for the church colleges; Dr. H. W. Chafe, president of the University of North Carolina, on behalf of North Caro lina colleges, and Dr. Albert Bushness Hart, of Hirvard University, for the colleges of America.

Few, [.resident of Duke University; Dr. John Calvin Adams, of the University of Virginia; Dr. H. A. Royster, of Raleigh, and Dr. B. W. Spilman were the speakers for this occasion. On Threshold of New Era. Wake Forest College is at present upon the threshold of ? new era of ureful and constructive service. Gov einor McLean said. "I feel that the greatest era of growth an<T usefulness in the history ef the college has been the period Just ? closed, during which the beloved, the I scholarly and the renowned Dr. Wil J Ham Louis Poteat, directed its destl | nies. He gave it, not only national, I but international standing." J Governor McLean said he felt and the people of the state felt that Wake Forest has contributed . "in large 'measure, not only to our educational J progress in the past, but has helped Sto engender In our people the deter mination that educational progress shall continue until every vistige of 11 illiteracy in North Carolina has been wiped out and there is available to every child in th- state educational advantages that will enable him to make a useful, h^ppy and prosperous citizen" . Pleads Cause of gull College Accepting Governor McLean's tri bate' to the work which Wake Forest has contributed to the welfare and progress of the state, Dr. Gaines, In turn, assured the governor that "Wake Forest shall seek still to turn into the channels of our state ;trong brains, laboring for civic vision, strong lives born for honest action and for better duty. To my predeces sor, that beloved aggregate of strength and gentleness, of mind and hear*, and through him to my colleagues here, I confess my joy in this fellow. I ship and my prayer for spiritual co." hesiveness of ail who share it. "Poor taste, to say nothing of small wisdom," continued Dr. Gaines, "must be chargeable to any man who would with rigid ideas assume a task like this. A college, nourished by affec tion and shaped by the judgment of rianifold personalties, is an organism that , may be guided, but can hardly be forced into the Btiff frame of one man's belief." Dr. Gaines pleaded the cause of the small, four year college of liberal arts and cited the "unhappy predic tion" that such a college may be ground out shortly between the upper milestone of the great universities and the professional schools and the neth* J er mlllestone of the junior college. "Against such pessimism we fortify ourselves not only by the recoliectiion that such colleges have In time past ] been the seed bed for notable leader ' ship in ail of life's activities, but by the satisfying conviction that develop ment of contemporary civilisation make increasingly important the mis sion of these schools * * * of these schools. If the world yields them, it must be because they have comprom ised their own ideals." So Stranger To State. . Dr. Gaines is no stranger to many tesldents of this and other states, lie has in the past year spoken at various gatherings in eastern North Carolina. Before coming to Wake Forest, he taught at Mississippi A. and M., Fur. man. University of Virginia and Wake Forest. English is his chosen Held.
