The Rotary Club, of which
President Wright was an out-
standing member, held a memo-
rial service, May 7, in his honor,
"Bob" Wright, the Rotarian, the
colleague, the churchman, the
citizen, the administrator was ex-
tolled in this program.
Augustus Fleischmann in
speaking of "Bob" as the Ro-
tarian said "Words can add very
little to that life He continued
telling how the "quiet cordiality"
of his fellow Rotarian quickly
dispelled the hesitancy that kept
him from calling him Bob; soon
it was Bob not only at the club
but everywhere. Bob exempli-
fied in the finest way that fel-
lowship which is the true inter-
pretation of Rotary ideals. Here
was one man who could truly be
called great without compromis-
ing the term. "Everyone is grate-
ful that we knew him for what
he was
Jasper Winslow who knew Br j
as a churchman, business man,
Sunday School teacher, voting at
the polls and at the club re-
marked about Dr. Wright as a
citizen. "He enjoyed rights and
privileges in the community and
enjoyed the right of serving the
community. He would go from
his work to lecture to large
groups of farmers. Bob was a
good citizen. Bob Wright was
worth more as a citizen than
Andy Mellon. He believed gov-
ernment was for the man. It
was for the government�
church, school and all organiza-
tions that worked for the best of
the community�that Bob spent
his life. No citizen could do more
than Bob has done.
As churchman Herbert Wal-
drop spoke. Herbert Waldrop
knew him first as student in the
college where 'Bob' conducted
chapel. He always opened with
a prayer. Many talks he gave
the students filled with hope and
faith which was a great in-
fluence.
"Dr. Wright was a member
of the Jarvis Memorial Method-
ist Church Board of Stewards
from the time he first came to
Greenville and for a long time
member of the Board of Trus-
tees. From 1919 to 1929 he was
teacher of the Methodist Baraca
Class. Then he stopped for a

Slates Dr. Meadows.
A beautiful memorial service,
simple and informal, was held
by the College Y. W. C. A. re-
cently in memory of Dr. Wright.
The Aii.am Auditorium dimly
lighted by candles on the stage,
decorated with white flowers, the
girls dressed in white, the origi-
nal members of the faculty seat-
ed on the stage, with the hymns
sung softly, with a talk appro-
priate to the occasion by one
closest to him, ail seemed to fit
perfectly the character and per-
sonality of the great and beloved
leader, whom they were honor-
ing. President Wright's very
spirit seemed to be present.
The six people seated on the
stage were Mrs. Beckwith, who
was lady principal for the first
seventeen years, and the five
members of the faculty who have
been in the school since the first
year, Misses Davis, Graham,
Lewis and Jenkins, and Dr. L. R.
Meadows. Melba O'Brien, presi-
dent of the Y. W. C. A. had
charge of the service.
Dr. Meadows made a talk that
will doubtless stay in the minds
of those who heard it, as long as
they live. Instead of giving a
direct eulogy, he presented the

held Friday morning at which

Duke University, appointed three
committees to settle the business
of the convention. They were
a nominating committee, resolu-
tions committee, and time and
place committee. The latter was
to select the time and place of
the two conventions that are to
be held next year.
After the business session the
delegates divided into discussion
groups. Each of these discus-
sions were led by some man
prominent in the journalistic
world. P. D. McLean, managing
editor of the Raleigh Times,
spoke to the group of newspaper
editors; Jonathan Daniels, editor
of the News and Observer, led
the magazine editors; the editors

which Freshman Orientation and
Sororities and Technical Aspects
and Problems of the Honor Sys-
tem. After this the problems of
each school represented were
discussed. The last discussion

tration of Student Government.

sity delivered a talk at a Pro-
gressive Dinner given Friday

was centered around the evils of
sororities and fraternities.

dent, Ken Goodson, from Cataw-
ba College; Vice-President John
Stanko from State College; Sec-
retary, Margaret McLean, from

ficers was performed during din-
ner Saturday night, April 28th,
which was followed by a dance,
bringing the conference to a
close.

He was one who placed love of others
ve himself. He has given himself whole-
I i artedly to the task of guiding the school,
and no one will ever be able to take his
I I tee.
Since the College was first established
he has been the only President. It has

Unlike those of many schools, the stu-
' i ame in daily contact with Dr.
Wright through his chapel talks. These will
be remembered and cherished as a
tr possession. He was a living example
of what a real Christian could be, and every-
e is the better for having known him.
Dr. Wright said in one of his recent
hapei talks. "If we all shaped our lives in
accordance with God's great plan we would
rave a world filled with peace and love and
friendship, a world where human beings
ki attain the highest peace, the most
gi nuine happiness, and each individual
would fit into the scheme as perfectly as
cogs in a wheel, as the parts fit into any
machine that works smoothly
He tried to shape his life in the way
God would have it done, and his ideals have
been instilled in the hearts of many of the
teachers of the state; and his influence has
been felt in the lives of the younger genera-
tions of the state.
This College and its work of training
teachers will go on a living memorial to this
great teacher.
from us lor he was
circles throughout the
when there was work to be done that meant
betterment of conditions for the future
generations. Dr. Wright was always listed as
among those in the thick of the task.
During his quarter of a century as head
of the college here he has instilled higher
and nobler ideals in the minds of thousands
of young women and young men who have
gone out into the profession of training oth-
ers and even in the generations yet unborn
there will no doubt be reflected ideals in-
spired by him here as he went about his
daily task of seeing to the operation of his
school.
Not only was Dr. Wright interested in
education for as a churchman he taught by
word and example the Christian life and
leaves behind him a high example for oth-
ers to follow. And aside from this there was
no movement for the betterment of condi-
tions in order to make his community a bet-
ter and happier place in which to live that
lie did not take a vital interest. During his
last days he gave considerable time and ef-
fort to a project of civic development here
that if carried to completion will mean hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars annually to the
people of this immediate community.
It is needless to endeavor in a short
time and space to cover the activities and
achievements of this great man. It should
suffice to say that truly the state and es-
pecially this immediate community is a bet-
ter place for his having lived.

Three of the outstanding students of
the college were recenlty elected to an of-
ficership of an association of the different
colleges. They are elected because of their
outstanding work in their particular fields,
their capability, and their personality. This
is perhaps the first time that more than one
student of the college has held an important
state office at one time, and their election
shows that the college is being recognized
for the work done in the publication, Y. W.
C. A and Student Government Association and a good citizen!

at Greenville, following a two-day's illness
came as a shock to a host of pei'sonal and
professional friends.
While Dr. Wright has not been in the
best of health, no particular uneasiness was
entertained regarding his condition prior to
Monday when he was stricken while at work
in his office. He was critically ill from the
outset, but his doctors entertained some
hope of his recovery.
He had been honored by his associates
in the educational world, having been presi-
dent of both State and National Associations.
1 Dr. Wright was a practical educator. He
impressed those who came in contact with
him as possessing that old fashioned requi-
site of a well rounded character known as
"gumption He was a Christian gentleman
of the highest type.
Dr. Wright was civic-minded, He was
intensely interested in the work of the
Rivers and Harbors Congress and was a
member thereof. He was planning to at-
tend the meeting to be held in Washington
City Monday and Tuesday of next week.
North Carolina has lost a worthy son, a
capable and distinguished educational leader
Mrs. Marianna Murphy, of Toma-
hawk, mother of Mrs. Wright,
and Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Murphy
of Snow Hill.

Oak Ridge Institute baseball
team made it two in a row over
East Carolina Teachers College
by defeating the locals 6-1 on
Friday.
Phelps and Dear, divided pitch-
ing duties for the Cadets and to-
gether allowed only five hits.
Phelps pitched five innings and
fanned nine.
Burnette, Teachers hurler, held
the Cadets to seven hits, but his
support was wobbly at times.
Tyson and Dameron, each with
a double, and single, led the
Cadets. Johnson hit a double
and a single and Easom two
singles to lead the Teachers.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
FROM THE PITT COUNTY
ALUMNAE CHAPTER
W
e.
the members of
County Chapter of the
Association of East
Teachers College wish
the Pitt
Ylumnae
Carolina
to pay
ite to the beloved Father of
. ur college. Dr. Robert H.
Wright, whom God has called
from our midst.
He wrote his name with kind-
ness, love, and gentle deeds upon
the hearts of those who knew
him. His services and his in-
fluence, threads of gold woven
together, gleam out brightly in
the pattern of life.
He built his life and faith and
hope and love, and passed on to
others that great and noble
creed.
He realized that the future
welfare of mankind depends
upon the training of the present.
To him each hour was charged
with duty�with service to the
youth. His words were fruitful
seeds. His influence, his shadow-
self, now spreads where he has
never been.
Our sincere sympathy we
would express to his loved ones.
We. too. have suffered a great
loss. A beautiful life ends not
m death, however. The sweet-
ness of it lingers on.

as he. His course, his ideals, and
his high sense of honor have
been an inspiration to the thous-
ands of youths who have come
under his influence. He camped
among the crags and peaks of
wisdom and his idealism was
contagious and uplifting.
In his going the state has lost
one of its first citizens; the na-
tion has lost an outstanding
leader in education: and the in-
stitution which he guided through
its first quarter of a century has
suffered an irreparable loss. As
an executive, he possessed con-
structive wisdom and the cour-
age to lead in the fact of adver-
sity.
He was abundant in the sym-
pathetic touch that led his co-
workers to their best effort,
wise in the freedom he pro
for their activities. His sym-
pathy was without bounds and
his inspiration was a joy to those
who strive to achieve in coopera-
tive effort. He was a messanger
of good-will to those in distress:
he went the second mile and
exacted no ransom. He perform-
ed his functions in meekness and
expected no cheering multitudes
to inspire his purposes. He made
up his mind in the calm of his
own soul and with courage
achieved mightily for God and
man.
Our sympathy is sincere with
all those who mourn his loss, and
we pour out our hearts with his
loved ones and remember him
with an affection that shall grow-
more sacred with the passing of
seasons.
