Tributes Clyde R. Hoey, Governor of. North Carolina, wired last night, "The death of Mr. Woollen is a great shock to the whole state and to the friends of the Univer sity everywhere.

C, and a freshman at this University, died yesterday morning after an illness of two weeks. Mr. Hinkle had planned to continue his course here ' this year but this sudden illness kept him from entering. "The Best Of Men Die... A Tribute By Louis Graves Editor Of The Chapel Hill Weekly 'Charlie WooUen was one of the most lovable men I ever knew. He possessed a' charm that made him a delightful com panion, but the affection people felt for him was based on something deeper within him: faithfulness and kindness and generosity. "My acquaintance with him began when he came here as a freshman thirty-seven years ago this month. The University organization was small compared with today's. There were only three administrative offices: the president's, the regis trar's, and the bursar's. Francis P. Yenable was president. Wiley Patterson, known as Major Patterson, a Confederate veteran who had lost his leg at Gettysburg, was bursar. Eu gene Harris, the registrar, died in that year of 1901, and young WobHen succeeded him. That a freshman was' chosen to serve as registrar is evidence of the impression that his abilities made upon the University authorities. "The recoUection of those of us who were here then is that Charlie Woollen did just about everything in connection with running the University. Besides enrolling students, he acted as secretary for President Venable. He aided Major Patterson with his accounts. He attended to countless inquiries from students and parents. He hadn't been here long before he was helping to look after the physical plant: the rooms in the dormitories, the electric lighting, the making of drains through the campus, and the maintenance of the walks and lawns. And somehow he found time to sing in the Glee club, to play in bands and orchestras, and to engage in other campus activities. "I consult the Alumni Directory, and I find his positions recorded as: registrar from 1901 to 1908; secretary from 1902 to 1907; purchasing agent from 1903 (he was still in that position when the Directory was published in 1924 and held it for several years thereafter); proctor from 1908 to 1914; treasurer of the athletic association from 1910; gradu ate manager of athletics from 1913; and business manager of the University from 1914. . 'This record gives some idea of the variety of his tasks, but it gives only the merest hint of the importance of the part he played in the management and the development of the University. "He was the trusted right-hand of Presidents Venable and Edward K. Graham, of Acting President Marvin Stacy in the brief inter-regnum of 1918-1919, and then of Presidents Chase and Frank P. Graham. Nobody who has not had a close and continuous view of University administration can know how one president after another depended upon him, how they admired him for his energy, competence, and judgment, and how they loved him for his loyalty and devotion. 'The best of men die, and the world must go on with its affairs. It is a commonplace that no man is indispensable. But no man was ever nearer-to being indispensable to an institu tion than Charlie WooUen was to the University for more than a third of a century. I am reminded of what WiH MacNider said to me on a recent evening when, we were talking about the changes that had come about in the viUage and on the campus since our student days: 'Nobody will ever know how much this place owes to Charlie WooUen. '' SERVED CAROLINA FAITHFULLY FOR NEARLY 407EARS Funeral Services To Be Held Here Friday In Episcopal Church By ED RANKIN After nearly two score years of service to the University, Charles Thomas Woollen, Con troller and one of its most be loved sons, died early yesterday morning of heart failure. Mr. Woollen had been ill and confined to his home for some time under physician's attention, but his ' condition had not been thought extremely serious. The man responsible for the new University gymnasium which bears his name passed away approximately six months after its opening. Twenty years of actual planning is represented in the gymnasium-natatorium which was finished in the latter part of last spring quarter. Cremate Body Funeral services will be held in the Episcopal church here tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The body will be cremated and the family has requested that flowers not be sent. Survivors include Mrs. Wool len; one daughter Mrs. Archie Roberts of Washington, D. C; and three sons, Charles T. Wool len, Jr., in the textile business in Greensboro; William Stone WooUen of the Purchasing De partment of the University; and Wescott Roberson Woolleri, a sophomore here; three sisters, Mrs. W. A. Miller, of Charlotte, (Continued from page two) FEW STUDENTS TO BE READMITTED Five Permitted To Register This Fall Unusually few students made application for readmission into the University this fall accord ing to A. W. Hobbs, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and C. P. SpruiU, dean of the General College. "This is the smallest number that has ap plied in the upper schools during my terms of office," was the comment of Dean Hobbs. Of 10 men, who applied for readmission in the CoUege of Arts and Sciences, and graduate schools, five were permitted to register this fall. At the end of the spring quar ter 154 freshmen and sopomores were declared ineligible to re turn to the University unless they do special work during the summer. Thirty-six of these ren dered themselves eligible and 22 were readmitted by judgment of the General College readmis sions committee consisting of the dean and advisers. Seven students were readmit ted this quarter after spending an interval away from Chapel Hill. Freshmen and. sophomores about equally divided the list of ineligibles in the General Col lege, was the opinion of Dean SpruUl. i! (Continued on last page)
