BY LLOYD LITTLE A memorial to William D. Carmichael Jr. will be recommended by a 12-man member committee named yesterday by Governor Terry Sanford. Carmichael was vice president and finance officer of the Consolidated University of North Carolina at the time of his death last Friday. Sanford appointed J. Spencer Love of Greensboro as chairman of the committee. Others appointed to the committee are: C. M. Nanstory of Greensboro, John L. Morehead of Charlotte, Henry Lineberger of Charlotte, George Watts Hill Sr. of Durham, C. Lacy Tate of Whiteville, John W. Umstead Jr. of Chapel Hill, A. E. Finley of Raleigh, Walker Martin of Raleigh, Herman Weil of Goldsboro, Frank Borden Hanes of Winston-Salem and Knox Massey of Durham. Carmichael was buried in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery Monday, following a funeral low mass offered for him at the Catholic Chapel of St. Thomas More here. He had been hospitalized for a short period last month to recover from his second heart attack, which he suffered on Christmas Day. His first heart attack occurred several years ago. "His absorbing aim and interest, after his religion, was to raise up the University in the service of the state. In this lofty endeavor which was his whole life he rallied a host- of willing allies. They all felt repaid by his friendship, and all sense a great vacancy in their own lives at his going." He was born July 28, 1900 in Durham, the son of William Donald and Margaret McRobert McCaul Carmichael. His father was vice presi dent of Liggett and Myers. "Billy Carmichael was a gentle lovable, and happy person with an enormous capacity for friendship. He was an unselfish man who served others in every way he could. His sense of quality and his love of beauty have made the University a better and more beautiful place. His dedication to the University and to the State was total." He served as a private in the U. S. Aviation Service during World War I, prior to his grad uation. At Chapel Hill he was captain of the basketball team and was active in publica tions and many extra-curricular activities, among them Kappa Sigma fraternity and the Order of Gimghoul. "He performed his work with positive force and magnetic charm. His warm personality generated a spirit of good will and Christian brotherhood wherever he was." "Perhaps more important than the build ings which will serve as a memorial to him is the fight he made with others for greater sup port for the facilities of the Greater Univer sity." In 1921 he became the first graduate of the School of Commerce, receiving a B.C.S. de gree. "He was a hard-headed businessmen who demonstrated by his fights for the Univer sity . that education is the soundest invest ment a state can make." "He possessed the rare combination of an inquisitive and studious disposition with a pleasing personality and a wholesome sense of humor. The great value of his life to the state and to the University will grow as time unfolds his numerous achievements." After a year of graduate study he went to New York City and entered the advertis ing business as an account executive with the mmmm t C- 4- William D. Carmichael, Jr. Newell-Emmett Agency. In 1924 he was mar ried to Miss May Baldwin. Waller of Durham. In 1928, as a member of the brokerage firm of Baker, Weeks and Harden, he became a member of the New York Stock Exchange, and later formed his own company, Car michael and Carson. "Everything he did was with complete forgetfulness o any possible personal or sel fish interest. His only goal was the better ment of the University and the State of North Carolina." In 1940, he severed his financial ties, gave up his membership in the Stock Exchange, and an income said to have been in six fig ures, and returned to Chapel Hill as control ler. In 1940-41, the Consolidated University's budget was $1,606,000 and in 1961-62 $22,617, 000 has been requested. "Mr. Carmichael possessed a rare com bination of talents . which for more than twenty years he devoted to the cause of edu cation. The totality of his vast contributions to his Alma Mater and sister institutions is beyond appraisal. The University has lost a great son and his colleagues have lost a de voted friend." He became acting president of the Univer sity in 1949 upon the appointment of Frank P. Graham as U.S. Senator, and served until Gordon Gray's appointment as president in 1950. "Adjectives such as dynamic, creative, adventurous, spirited, loyal, devoted, unrest ing and courageous attach easily and fittingly to the name of Billy Carmichael. He was all of those. Most fittingly, though, he was the University's happy warrior." , Among the additions to the three Uni versity campuses attributed substantially to Carmichael's leadership are the educational television station WUNC-TV, Morehead Plane tarium, Morehead Scholarships, N. C. Memo rial Hospital, and the related Health Affairs center, the Atomic Reactor at State College, Reynolds Coliseum and the numerous build ings at Woman's College. "The evidence of the impact of his dy namic personality will continue to unfold throughout the years, and history, no less than his countless friends will honor hirn in af fectionate memory." tAt tAt In addition to his University-connected activities, he was chairman of the Gover nor's commission on Nuclear Energy in North Carolina, was a member of the National Boy Scouts of America and served as chairman of the Roanoke Island Historical Commission. Carmichael was a cousin of Jim Tatum, UNC football coach who died unexpectedly in 1959. "But as much as any man can, Billy Car michael will remain-in the physical exist ence of the University for which he was so much responsible, and that spirit which touches all of those who come here to teach and to learn." "The warmth and kindliness of his nature made him at home in any sort of gathering, and his good sense and wise counsel on what ever question was under discussion were salt ed with a fascinating wit. Nobody who knew him could fail to understand why Billy Car michael was so well beloved."
