"It is essential," said Dr. E.
C. Brooks on taking over the ex
ecutive position of State Col
lege in 1923, "that our higher in
stitutions should be so broadened
that those who enter the voca
tions shall be conscious of a dis
tinct relationship to human wel
fare, and preparations for a vo
cation, either, law or engineer
ing, teaching or manufacturing,
preaching or farming, should be
based on the modern humanities
which open up the avenues of
understanding to the necessity of
basing individual welfare on the
social good." Ever since his ac
.ession to the leadership of State,
Dr. 'Brooks has endeavored to
carry out the ideas set forth in
his inaugural address. '
From a position of compara
tive obscurity as principal of the
Kinston, N. C, city schools, Eu

gun when he graduated from
Trinity College with an A.B. de
gree in 1894. The first stepping
stone, on his way to a top posi
tion in his profession, was his
selection in 1900 as principal of
the Kinston schools, which was
soon followed by his choice as
superintendent of the Monroe
county schools.
In 1907, Brooks went back to
his alma mater as professor of

teaching there until 1919. He
had delved into research at Col

From Trinity he was elevated to
the position of state superin
tendent of public instruction.
The cause of public education in
the state advanced singularly un
der Brooks' guidance.
He succeeded Wallace Carl
Riddick, who stepped down to
become dean of the school of en
gineering, as head of State Col
lege in 1923.
Numerous Controversies ,
As the storm center of a num

GRAHAM SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL PERIOD
President Urges Students to Use
Time Left Before Finals to
Best Advantage. ... .
President Frank P. Graham,
speaking yesterday at the Jast
chapel program to be presented
this quarter, stressed the fact
that very little time remains be
fore final exams and urged -that
students make the best possible
use of this time. The way in
which students organize their
time and study during the re
mainder of this quarter, Presi
dent. Graham stated, will in a
great measure determine their
success or failure during this
school year.
Graham advised that all stu
dents take advantage of .their
opportunities here at the Uni
versity, since parents have made
it possible for them to attend
the University, often at a great
sacrifice. Students should or
ganize each day, he suggested,
in order that they may execute
their work and also leave time
for relaxation.
The difference between men,
Graham continued, is their or
ganization of time and oppor
tunities. If -a student success
fully schedules the few remain
ing days before exams, he will
have achieved a great deal to
ward future success.
1 In addition, Graham urged
that students do honest work on
the final exams.
