Robert Burton House bserves 70th Birthday By DILL nCALUSl'ISK CHAPEL HILL ? Chancellor Emeritus Robert B. House, who will go into retirement this summer from the teacher duties he has held since step ping down as chancellor five years ago, was 70 years old Monday, March 19th. He has the largest class in the University, 283 students this semester, and he has had to turn down an equal number seeking to enroll in his popu lar class in Greek literature. Looking back over the 38 years that he has been asso ciated with Carolina as a teacher and administrator. House warns that "the greatest danger facing the University today is the stagnation that comes with complancy," House is not unaware of the j dangers that beset the Univer-j sity. When he became dean of j administration in 1934, Caro-j lina was in the depth of one | of the most serious threats to existance, the Great Depres-j sion. "It looked like we were whipped," he recalls, "but we! came out of it stronger than before." He remembers the 23 yeais' that he served as chancellor of the University under the presi-j dency of Frank Porter Graham ! as filled with "worry ... all the time . . . night and day." I After he graduated from j Carolina, House had planned j to return here to teach after; graduate work at Harvard, but the first World War changed; that. He came beck to Chapel Hill in 1924 but as an admin istrator, not a teacher. He was secretary to the president of the University and later chan cellor from 1934 to 1957. After he stepped down as chancellor, he taught courses in English and the classics for five more years. "It took me 65 years to get a professor ship," he told a visitor after In Memoriam In loving memory of little William Earle Gooch, who de parted this life March 21, 1957. j Five years have passed since! you left us I To go to your Heavenly home; The days seem long and dreary We feel so blue and alone. I like to remember you, just as you were When you lived with us down here; The sound of your laughter still rings in the air As memories bring you so near. We'll never know why God took you from us After such a short, short stay; He needed another star up there To brighten the milk way. So, shine little star in the Heavens Be happy with angels as friends; And wait for your dear grandmother Who'll be with you when this life shall end. His devoted grandmother, MRS. CHARLIE J.

THE FAMILY My heartfelt thanks to all " extended comforting sym and help in the recent of my father, for the ~ " floral offering and I am deeply MARVIN A JORDAN to thank our friends for the many for DR. ROBERT B. HOUSE his retirement as a teacher was announced in January. However, his retirement from the classroom will not be com plete. He will teach his popu lar Greek Literature course during the evening college next fall. Many physical ghanges have come to the campus that House first saw almost half a century ago, but much remained the same. Have students changed? "No," says House. "Show me any type of student on the campus today, and I can re call the same type when I was, a freshman." "Most students are id ilists and hero-worshippers, and that% , as it should be." "I don't think education, has changed," he said. "It's tool deep to respond to all types of j changes. About the only thing j that changes in education is, science." House says the fundamentals' of education are "youth, age, and resources ... all cdm-: bined in a delightful atmos phere." Students today, hej contends, are not grade- con scious "in the right way." He says a good grade should not only signify the student "has mastered the work, but that he can be also expected to do a good job in the future." House made Phi Beta Kappa while at Carolina and says simply that he owes it to "working harder than the aver age student." He contends that "it takes more character than brains" to be successful in college. "Failures! They don't study. That's the reason." "A college degree is not the final achievement. It is just the beginning. The real test of an education is not what you know when you graduate, but how much you're willing to learn the day after you grad uate." "Student life is hard work, hut not a grind. There is a Jeep joy in getting into a sub |ect and watching your mind jrow." His plans after retiring?: None, other than teaching at night school. "I don't want to plan ahead," he says. "I like an element of newness." His friends will tell you, though, there are some things that won't change about Robert House. Firmly fixed within him are certain traits which have made him Carolina's "elder statesman." His calm, resolute voice, the darkening pipe that puffs constantly, the harmonica that has entertain ed thousands on the campus and across the state, a deep and strong religious convic tion?these will not change. | More than anything else, House will probably never change his love for growing' 'in my knowledge and appre ciation of people." For Caro lina's grand old man. that is life's "greatest experience."
