Josephus Daniels, Long A Trustee,
Is State's Ambassador To Nation
o-
Raleigh Editor, Secretary of War During Wilson's Administration,
Has Constantly Urged Support of University and Its Ex
pansion and Abolition of Tuition to State Students.
. Josephus Daniels is North
Carolina's ambassador to the na
tion. As an ex-cabinet member
andditor of The News and Ob
server, he is one of the most
widely-known figures in the
Democratic party, he is regard
ed as a powerful voice in state
and national politics.
Serving as secretary of the
navy from 1913 to 1921 under
President Woodrow Wilson,
Daniels is often requested to
give his opinion on national is
sues and parity policies. He was
one of the four members of the
Wilson cabinet to retain his
portfolio during both adminis
trations. During the World War,
Daniels, in charge of two thou
sand vessels and 300,000 men,
was largely responsible for the
efficient transport system and
eff ecti ve defensive accomplish
ments of the navy. His tactics
were assailed by the press, but
the tributes paid him by Presi
dent Wilson, Admiral Dewey, and
General Pershing more than off
set the criticism of hostile news
papers. Belief in Advancement
His belief in the social and in
tellectual advancement of man
was shown by his efforts as
secretary of the navy to enact
measures designed to secure the
welfare of the entire navy per
sonnel. Based upon his cabinet experi
ences, Daniels wrote several
books on government, the navy
department, and President Wil
son. Of these, Our Navy at
War; a detailed account of naval
engagements in the World War,
and his Life of Woodrow. Wilson,
a laudatory biography, are the
most significant.
In 1921 he returned to the
editorship of The News and Ob
server, which he has owned
since 1894, and has become a
leading figure in effecting state
reform measures- and clean poli
tics. In 1904 his daring expos
ure of corruption resulted in a
jail sentence, but he was sum
marily freed and became the
acknowledged champion of clean
government..
Favors Prohibition
Daniels has expressed his op
position to repeal of the Eigh
teenth Amendment and his ad
vocacy of more stringent divorce
laws for the state. During the
last session of the state legisla
ture, he urged the support of the
six month's school term by
means other than ad valorem

taxation. Through his editorials
he asked the legislature to re
lieve the tax burden of the
farmer and to "get the money
where the money is." The News
and Observer has constantly
championed the cause of the
little man who has no paid help,
said Daniels recently.
He has served for twenty
years on the national Democra
tic' committee, and today he is
esteemed as one of the most
faithful supporters of the party.
With Newton D. Baker, former
secretary of war, Daniels is con
sidered one of the foremost ex
ponents of Wilsonian Democra
cy His editorials have advocat
ed world peace and the entrance
of the United States into the
League of Nations.
Popular, as Orator
Popular as an orator, Daniels
is constantly receiving invita
tions to address political gather
ings school commencements, and
church and civic meetings.
Prominently mentioned as a
candidate for governor, he re
ceived numerous petitions and
letters from all parts of the
state asking him to run. De
spite the requests, he stated that
he could serve the state better
in his editorial capacity than as
chief executive.
A member of the University
board of trustees for thirty-two
years, he has been associated
with the executive committee of
that body for twenty years. He
has constantly urged the sup
port of the University and its
expansion. Through the editorial
columns of his paper, he has
advocated the right of every
North Carolinian to attend the
institution, and to accomplish
his aim, he would abolish tuition
for state students. He has been
a major force behind the con
struction of dormitories as an
improvement to the University.
The News and Observer has
been a constant supporter of the
cause of education and the Uni
versity in every crisis, and has
demanded that the school sys
tem' of North Carolina should
be a chief beneficiary of tax
ation. As a member of the class of
1885, Daniels studied law at the
University. His undergraduate
training was received at the Wil
son collegiate institute. In 1914
the University bestowed upon
him the honorary degree of
doctor of laws, and he has been
honored with like degrees by ten
other educational institutions.

Student Loan Fund Increased To
$2 12,000 After Inauspicious Start
: -o- . v
University Fund Began With Gift From New York Minister in
1879 and Increased by $10,000 Contribution From
William H. Vanderbilt in 1881.
From an inauspicious begin
ning in 1879 as a $600 fund es
tablished by a New York minis
ter, the total amount available
as loans for needy University
students has increased to a
$212,000 endowment in 1931.
This total does not include the
recently established emergency
loan fund which to date consti
tutes $13,543.50. Although sev
en new funds have been estab
lished since 1922, the sum is in
adequate to meet the increased
needs and demands.
Of the total $212,000, approx
imately $35,000 a year is avail
able for use as student loan3.
This sum represents the income
at the legal rate of interest on
the total investment. Last year
230 students, approximately one
third of those applying, were re
cipients of loans averaging $150.
Doubles- in Ten Years
Ten years ago the principal
existing as loan funds was $100,
000,' less than' half the amount
now available. Of that sum
about $6,000, representing one
sixth of. the present annual
yield, was available for loan pur.
poses. .
Of the fifteen loan funds,
eleven are the result of gifts of
private donors, and four are en
dowments by state action or by
benevolent organizations. In
the" majority of these cases only
the income or interest on the
original fund may be used as
loans.
In 1879 a fund of $600 wai
established by Reverend C. F.
Deems, late pastor of the Church
of the Strangers in New York
City and a former University
professor, in memory of his son.
In 1881 this sum was enlarged
