Pa Will Deliver Main Address In Memorial This Morning Youthful Scholar Widely Acclaimed For New Ideas Nathan M. Pusey, 53-year-old president of Harvard University, will be the principal speaker at University Day here at 11 a.m. today. Pusey became the 24th presi dent of Harvard in 1953, an in stitution that was started in 1637 and was 159 years old when UNC first admitted students in 1795. Among Mr. Pusey's achieve ments at Harvard is "The Pro gram for Harvard College," the largest concentrated effort to build up resources of under graduate education in U.S. his tory. Goal Reached The goal of $82,000,000 was reached and surpassed. Pusey showed an immediate interest in undergraduate edu cation when he went to the presidency of Harvard from Lawrence College in Wisconsin. Harvard adopted a program of "advanced standing" where by able students in high schools. move to college level work' at the end of the 11th grade. Another innovation brought about by the president was the establishment of a visual arts center to give the students a chance to practice the painting, sculpture and scenic design in addition to the excellent courses offered by Harvard in these fields. : His first concern was to en sure the faculty of Harvard by granting "new professorships" during his presidency. What They're Saying By United Press Sen. John F. Kennedy in Co lumbia, S. C: "Nixon makes a big show of discussing this subject civil rights on all of his trips to the South. But it is hardly the same speech he delivered in New York City a short time ago . . . "I do not -think Mr. Nixon is fooling anyone, North or South . . . Some of you may disagree with my views, but at least I have not changed by principles in an election year." In Warm Springs, Ga.: "In no area is progress more vitally needed than the area of health. The cost of medical care has skyrocketed beyond the reach of many citizens, par ticularly our older citizens, and yet the present administration requires them to take a "pau per's oath' before they can re ceive assistance ... "I propose for immediate ac tion the following program for the new frontiers of health. "We must provide a more adequate program of medical care for the aged . . . federal grants for the construction, ex pansion and modernization of medical schools, dental schools and schools of public health . . . loans and scholarships for medi cal students . . . grants for reno vating our older hospitals . . . long-term grants for increased medical research . . . expand our efforts for rehabilitation . ' "This is not a program for socialized medicine." : .i- s-ujoucunrs m m Asked For Travel Job Applications are now being received for Campus Travel Di rector, David Grigg, student body president, announced yes terday. Applications should be submitted to the Student Gov ernment Office. The Campus Travel Director is responsible for administering the Educational Travel, Inc. program at UNC. He is also a member of the National Student Association which sponsor ETI ine uirector receives a com mission on the tours he sells. For 12 years, ETI, a subsidi ary of NSA, has provided low- cost cultural and educational foreign travel programs for American students. ETI also provides travel information for all students - considering travel abroad. . ETI is able to offer inexpen sive foreign programs because of its close cooperation with similar European student union programs and because it is a non-profit organization. The European student unions make many of the travel arrange ments for ETI and provide stu dent guides. ETI programs give students considerable free time as an integral part of the program. International Vice President Richard M. Nixon in Denver: "Kennedy is a 'Johnny come lately' in supporting water and power projects. The Democrat was guilty of a 'glaring mis representation' in saying Russia would be ahead of this country in electric power production by 1975. "I stand for stepping up the development of all our re sources; for greater emphasis on new starts for multi-purpose projects in reclamation and power and flood control; and I would do this by bringing into play the efforts of all levels of governments and of private ac tivities concerned, each, to do the part it is best qualified to do . . . "The only significant growth of the economy that took place in the Truman years was dur ing the Korean War and then at the cost of record inflation." In Salt Lake City: "If we are to deal effectively with Russia, America must con tinue to maintain her military position, which is to continue to be the strongest nation in the world militarily. ' We are the strongest nation militarily in the world today, but in the years ahead, America will have to step up her mili tary strength." If he were elected, he would push the increase in U.S. mili tary strength "so that we will always 1 have the ultimate ad vantage" over Russia and the Communist satellites.

On the national scene a manu facturer of hosiery, and in his home community of Winston- Salem a civic leader, a partici pant in local government, a supporter of education, a build er of permanent structures he is all of those things. Interested In Books But among people whose in terest is books librarians, bi bliophiles, gatherers of rare books James Gordon Hanes also is an incunabulist. To book collectors, incunabula means volumes printed prior to the year 1500 A.D. Incunabula comes from the Latin, meaning cradle, origin or infancy. The Hanes Collection of In cunabula, in the Louis R. Wilson Library, is on of the country's most extensive and most com plete collections of rare books with special emphasis on early printing. The Hanes Collection is one of the best of any collections in any state university in the it Mr. Frank B. Hanes and Librarian Jerrold Orne are looking at Mr. Hanes' gift of Wilson Li brary's one millionth volume, the title of which will be announced during the University Da y festivities ; this morning. .' j . :y.:.::,.::::::.:-;.:,,;,:,. .' ,a j. -.- s ..r .. .-V ?-? ion United States. In the Hanes Collection are featured "books about books." Begun in 1929 with an ori ginal endowment of $30,000, it has been built up in 31 years, by gifts of money and gifts of rare books and other ducoments of incunabula so that now there are several thousand pieces of rare works. The collection today is beyond the estimate of price. Building up the Hanes Col lection has not been a project of any one member of the Hanes family but all of the Haneses. Adds To Collection And today, James G. Hanes on behalf of all of the Hanes family will add to the Hanes Collection and to the shelves of the Library in the; University . of North Carolina the "one millionth book." " . The book is the donation of the Hanes Foundation of Winston-Salem. The number - of the books - in the UNC Library has grown grom from 219,814 books in 1930 to 557,119 books in 1950, to 1,000,000 books in 1960.

In addition to these festivi ties, another result of the Hanes Collection is ready for distri bution today. Compiled By Cook It is an edition entitled "In cunabula in the Hanes Collec tion," compiled by Olan V. Cook, Associate Librarian, and printed by the University of North Carolina Press. The Hanes family desired to provide the University with materials illustrating the his tory of writing such as cunei form tablets, Indian records, types of Egyptian writings, specimens of Greek and Latin epigraphy, and mediaeval manu scripts with examples of print ing from its beginning. ; The collection of incunabula has been the greatest achieve ment of this Fund. From Nine Counties The Collection consists of 732 pieces of incunabula from 324 printers, 57 cities, and nine countries. - It is possible to trace the de velopment of early printing in J' I ' t 4- 5 , wtt ' Hook To niv&sify Germany, Rome, Venice, and from Italy to Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, and then to England. The collection includes single leaves and any fragments ; of books which are useful in study ing the development ' of the printed page. ' Important Pieces - -' Some of the more important pieces in the Hanes Collection include: "De Civitate Dei" (The City of God), by St. Augustine, pub lished in 1475 in Venice by one of the most famous Venetian printers, Nicolaus Jenson. This is bound in its original binding of wooden boards covered; with leather. "Leber Chronicarum" (Nu remberg Chronicle) , by Hart mann Schedel, printed in Nu remberg in 1493 : by a famous German printer, Anton: r. Ko berger. This is one of the early illustrated books containing about 1800 woodcuts of persons, places, and scenes from all over the world. It is an attempt to put into one volume the known knowledge of the world.
