General College Head Believes
in Developing IWell-Rounded
Students
By C. P. Spruill
(Dean, General College)
With more than a million
young Americans this fall, you
are entering or returning to col
lege. We are glad that you have
come to Chapel Hill. .
Do you know just what is the
education you seek ? I Plutarch
believed that "The very spring
and rodt of honesty and ,'virtue
lie in the felicity of lighting, on
good education." Hehfy Adams,
a cultivated member of an his
toric American family, was less
confident, although' he sought
good education all his life. Re
garded by contemporaries as an
able student of medieval history,
he taught that subject at Har
vard College for seven years and
then did - something almost
unique. He resigned because he
felt that in the prevailing sys
tem he; did not know enough to
go on. Twenty years more of the
quest. ' in - Washington, Boston
