According to persistent tradi

fell in love- when Nancy was a
servant girl in his house in Bun

about to have a child, Enloe

Harry Chase
To Visit Here
During Week
Former U. N. C. Pres-
Is Guest At Home
OfBradshaw
By Raymond Lowery
Harry Woodburn Chase, presi
dent of the University during
the years 1913-30, returned to
Chapel HUl yesterday to spend
a week resting from his present
duties as chancellor of New
York university.
He is a guest at the home of
Dean Francis Bradshaw, and
will confine himself to informal
visits during his stay here.
'Tar on My Heels"
"I find that I cannot get away
from Chapel Hill mud on my
shoes and the North Carolina
tar on my heels," said the ex
president shortly after his ar
rival. Since leaving here in 1930,
Dr. Chase has served as presi
dent of the University of Illi
nois, and more recently at New
York university as chancellor.
Came Here in 1910
Dr. Chase is a native of
Massachusetts. He is a graduate
of Dartmouth and first came to
Chapel Hill in 1910 as a mem
ber of the faculty.
In 1919 the trustees unani
mously chose him president of
the University, where he re
mained until 1930. and upon
7 i
resignation became president of
the University of Illinois. Under
his presidency the University
had remarkable growth in every
way. His building program had
been the largest in history. The
standards were raised and en
rollment almost doubled.
Illinois President
When in 1930 he decided to
accept the Illinois presidency,
voices of disapproval were heard
from all over the state. Various
faculty members declared they
would resign if he left the Uni
versity, and Chapel Hill folks
agreed that the village would
not be the same without the
leadership of his capable wife.
