Fund
Class of 1937 Esfa
Library Memorial
By Margaret Gaston
In remembering the University and its dedication to the
causes of humanity in war and in peace, the class of 1937
charged a 12-man committee last June to devise something
which would be a fitting memorial to its classmates who
died in World War II, and at the same time serve a useful
purpose in the University.
After discussing various pro
jects the committee proposed that
its class establish the Class of
1937 memorial fund, the initial
installment of which they would
present to Chancellor House at
the alumni luncheon to be held
at its 11th anniversity reunion
at commencement this year. The
money contributed by the mem
bers of the 1937 class would be
available to the University li
brary for use in the purchase of
books for which appropriated
funds cannot be spent.
The library staff and depart
ment heads told the committee
that certain volumes and collec
tions essential to the library were
not available on the open mark
et and were obtainable only by
constant searching and prompt
action when they were discovered
for sale.
Since books by themselves may
be lacking in the symbolic qual
ities desired in a memorial, the
committee designed a bookplate
for insertion in the books which
will be acquired through the
fund. The bookplate shows the
names of the 16 members of the
class of 1937 who were killed in
the last war.
Those listed on the bookplate
are Jacob Waldo Bond, Winches
ter, Mass.; John Calhoun Bower,
Jr., Lexington; Arnold Brecken
ridge, Chapel Hill; Bunyan Ran-,
dolph Cooner, Asheville; George
Loris Dover, Shelby; Joseph Da
vid Feldman, New York; John
Coltrane Fuller, Jr., Lumberton;
William Perry Kephart, Greens
boro; John Graydon Klingman,
Greensboro; Thomas Joseph O'
Flaherty, Waterbury, Conn.; Ben
jamin Franklin Royal, Jr., More-
head City; Sidney Slotoroff, New
York; Emmet Robinson Spice,
Goldsboro; Edward Vassar Steph
enson, Seaboard ,Ed ward William
Tankersley, Greensboro; and Hen
ry McGilbert Wagstaff, Jr., Chap
el Hill.
With the exception of O'Fla
herty, who was a volunteer in the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the
Spanish Civil war, all these men
were killed while in service with
the American forces.
The Class of '37 is the first
University class to establish a
memorial to classmates who died
in World War II. Officers of the
class are Fred H. Weaver, presi
dent, Niles Woodbridge Bond,
vice-president, and Thomas Eli
Joyner, Jr., secretary. ;
The committee which drew up
the memorial to classmates is
