Guest List Reads Like Honor Roll

By GRAY LAWRENCE ASSISTANT EDITOR

A sampling of the guest list for the inauguration of Dr. James Ralph Scales reads like a ro1l call of those prominent in aimost every~ sphere of activity in the state.

Certainly one of the broadest invita­tions to a University ceremony ever, the list of dignitaries even indicates the wide scope of the North Carolina Democratic P~.rty.

General invitations have been issued to an alumni and special reservations to hundreds of prominent members of the business, education, religious, and poli­tical worlds.

Heading the list, of course, is United States Vice-President Hubert H. Hump­hrey, whose presence became even more potential:ly important after President Johnson's decision last week not to run for another term.

DR. JAMES RALPH SCALES ... will formally assume his position as President of the University today. Presidents and delegates from more thaD 200 colleges and universities will attend the inaugural ceremonies at which Viee President Hubert Humpbrey will be the main speaker.

Humphrey's party colleagues who will attend the inauguration ceremony run the gamut from conservative to liberal.

The moderate N. C. Governor Dan K. Moore, and former more liberal gover­nor, Terry Sanford, wiH watch the cere­mony with their. more conservative fel­low party members, Dr. I. Beverly Lake, former gubernatorial candidate, and Sen. Sam Ervin.

Dr. Scales Prophesies· Nationwide Significance

Other well-known state Democrats w!:o will attend the inauguration are Rep. Nick Galifianakis; William Webb, Jr., a national committeeman from Statesville; and J. Melville Brough­ton, Jr., a Wake Forest alumnus in the r2ee for the gubernatorial nomination.

Dr. James Ralph Scales, the· eleventh president of the University, predicts the development of Wake Forest in recent ye?.rs and its changing student body will make it an institution of rmtional signi­ficance.

Scales, who wHl be formaHy installed today, made the prediction recently in replying to a series of que&tions.

1£ the accomplishments of the short nine-month period since Scales asrorned his official duties July 1, 1967, are any indication or what is to come, his pre­diction will be quite valid.

In tile interview, Scaies said he was particularly interested in improving the fine arts at Wake Forest. "The arts," he said, "are absolutely essential for personal fulfillment." This interest has been reflected in the University's re­ct>nt decision to establish an ~ depart­ment beginning in the fan of 1968.

Ecumenical Institute

Scales has also been responsible for the Univers1ty setting up an ecumenical institute aimed· at promoting understand· ing among Christia. · and studying the history of Christianity.

During the nine months Scales has been Pres'dent, the University has re­ceived three major gifts. One was for a new scholarship fund of $1,300,000 and the other two were $500,000 each for a new School of Business Administration building.

Scales is expected to outline more of his ideas about Wake Forest when he gives his inaugural address today. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey wHl give the major speech; Gov. Dan K. Moore will also participate.

In the interview, Scales said he has "t>ncountered warm identification among Baptists with Wake Forest" since com­ing to North Carolina but added that "there wHI be tensions between any school and the people who support it.'' The University has frequently been a sore spot with the Baptist State Con­vention.

National Significance

Scales made his prediction about na· tiona] s·ignificance when asked how Wake Forest fitted into the educational pic­ture and how be ranked· it with other schools in the South. He replied:

"It is always dangerous to pick the 'top ten, the most Innovative six, or the worst seven.' I should think tha,t within the imprecise brunds of subjective clas­sification, Wake Forest wou-ld be classi­fied as a comparatively small, private church-related university of regional •·eputation.

"Beca11sc the composition of the stu­dent body is changing and because of developments in recent yean;, its fu­ture thrust is likely to be more na­tional than regional.

"Right now Wake Forest belongs . to the Southern group of strong liberal arts colleges wh~ch 'have become universities by the addition of strong professional schools, particularly law and medicine.

Everyone of the Southern group of pri­V3te universities of reputation is attach­ed .to a: great medical center. For ex:­ample, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Emory, Tu­lane, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest."

Scales also commented on the role of not only Wake Forest but other such private and church-related universities in the future:

"For nearly a century prophets have been warning of the extinction of the church coHege. In an age of mass edu­cation, obviousiy the tax-supported schools are bound to take most of the increase in enrollments. Tohe taxpayers will see to that.

"Even so, ours is a pluralistic society, and the 'private schools· are sorely needed to provide an alternative to mass edu­cation.

Other Guests

Another prominent guest will be Mrs. Charles Babcock, the wife of the late philanthropist.

Perhaps the best-known guests will be Dr. and Mrs. Harold W. Tribble. The former president will undoubtedly find today's ceremonies reminiscent of his own inauguration 17 years ago.

Another prominent alumnus who will return for the installation is Graham Martin, a former ambassador to Thai­land who is now serving as a special assistant to the Secretary of State.

Mrs. Thurman D. Kitchin, the wife of Tribble's predecessor; Justice Joseph Branch of the State Supreme Court; and Bert Bennett, chairman of the Univer­sity's Stadium drive and Sandford's cam­paign m~nager in 1960 will also be on hand for !·he fifth public inaugural of a Wake Forest president.

"Our commitment must be a strong one; we must have a de­sire to change the world. Youthful minds cannot subsist on im- ., personal analysis, which reaches no conclusions except, perhaps,

~;0 the conclusions that nothing can be done about anything. We (;! must ask the right questions, but we ntu.st have some right an-t,) swers, too."

Dr. James Ralph Scales is one of our answers. On the day of '· ·' his inauguration as the President of Wake Forest _Universit::, ~is j{ words are .a brilliant summation of our expectations. For m lts :,:: quest for academic excellence in a university communit;>', Wake ;:" Forest has found a man who can provide the leadership.

In answer to the quotation above from your presidential ad- · · ~'; dress seven years ago at Oklahoma Baptist University, we ap- __

plaud your perspicacity. Our commitment is strong. We want to ·, ~t change the world, and we want to begin with Wake Forest. ;,:1 You've shown us that things can be changed, and more impor- · · L1 tantly, you've let us all help you make the changes. H For years the University grasped for a sense of community, , r·: and in talking about "our Wake Forest family," we failed to ' ' realize anv such spirit. You've done more than you can imagine. ~,~ Dr. Scales,' by talking to the students, the professors, the trustees, ::; and the friends. And you did even more by waiting to hear what ;.J we had to say in reply. It's a g>ood feeling to be involved in the H changes. '' 1Besides creating an atmosphere conducive to change, you've i i begun an art department. so now students won't have to go ac1·oss ,~, town to set up their easels and oils. An ecumenical institute has ... ,., been established "to give direction to the swirling winds of hi change in the are'a of religious thought and action.'' And during .. 1 ' your short nine-month tenure, so far almost $2.5 million has been , . ,. , given to the University for scholarships and a business school · ' ; ; building. :,: ·' One of the best things about your philosophy of doing the r,

things we do well is that an intense respect for the past permeates the desire to change. You have talked with retired professors ~: and active alumni. You thought enough of .an essay by Gerald (

r,;: :.,· Johnson to have it printed and distributed widely. And you took H · enough time from a busy schedule to make visits to old Wake •:::

i J Forest. t:'j Because of your desire for change and your r~spect for our t~

r,'· ;.· heritage, and because yOU have shown US your VlgOr, your ex- ~·,\ , . ceptional intellect, and your sense of responsibility, we welcOillle i! [1 you.

Dinner Preparations Fire Up Slater Cooks

The warmest people on cam­pus today, besides those wear­ing ~ademic gowns, are pro­bably the cooks of A R. A. Slater, "Who are preparing to feed one of the largest groups ever.

While the inaueuration will be taking place in Wait Cha­pel, men and women in the cafeteria will be preparing a luncheon Cif baked c:OOoken and: rice for an expected: 800 guests.

Among those guests are edu­cators, businessmen, preach­ers, and politicians. Vice Presi­dent Hubert H. Humphrey will attend the one o'clock lunc­heon after he speaks at the 11 a. m. inauguration.

The hmcheon is probably the ·largest ever held at the University. To accommodate too crowd, tables are arrang­ed banquet style, seating 400 in the mam room and· 200 each in the wings.

Preparations for decorating the cafeteria began weeks ago. Large ur.ns containing flowing floral arrangements will be placed on the waills.

Magnolia leaves win be used extensivety.

T. Thomas Arrnenaki, direc­tor of the dining halls, has hired extra employees to pre­pare and serve the meal. Jn addition, members of the Al­pha Phi Omega fraternity will assist.

Inaugural Feast

Was Big Affair

18 Years Ago

Following the dinner a Presi­dent's reception will · be held at 2:30 p. m. in the Main Lounge of Reynolda Hall.

Wi!dnesday evening Mrs. Scales hosted a small dinner party in the Autumn Room !or some of the family's friends from Oklahoma.

Gene T. Lu~as, vice presi­dent of finance and business, and Mrs. Lucas gave a break­fast this morning for the Oklahoma visitors.

Many Students Will Participate In Inauguration

Students of the University will be well-represented in the inauguration convocation for President James R~lph Seales today.

Invitations were issued last week by s·tudent body Presi­dent Frederick L. Cooper to lSD-200 leaders in various stu­dent activities. Cooper called Scales "a real friend of the stud'€llt." Seats winl be reser­ved for these representatives on the main floor of Wait Chapel.

Scales First To Take Office Here

4 Past Inaugurations Were Public By GRAY LAWRENCE

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Although Dr. James Ralph Scales is the eleventh in the succession of Wake Forest presidents, the distinction of public inauguration is one that only four predecessors have enjoyed.

He is the first president to be inaugurated since the Uni­versity moved to Winston­Salem. No other Wake Forest inauguration bas included a speaker as prominent as Unit­ed States vice president Hu­bert H. Humphrey.

Only Dr. 'lnomas Henderson Prichard, Dr. William Louis Poteat, Dr. Francis Pendleton Ga•nes, and Dr. Harold Way­land Tribble have officially as­sumed the presidency in public ceremonies.

Over 150 dignitaries attended the inauguration of Dr. Pritch­ard on Sept. 3, 1879. The cha­pel was filled to capacity. Such men as Governor T. J. Jar.vis, Justice A. M. Merrimon, Col. L. L. Polk, Hon. W. R. Cox

Anne Scales will have a holi­day from high school today to attend the inauguration of her father.

That is one of the advan­tages of being the daughter of a University president. But,

, according to Anne, the position also has its drawbacks.

The younger daughter of Dr. James Ralph Scales last week described the effects of her father's new position on herself and her• sister Laur~. · ··

Both girls have had to con­vince other teenagers that they aren't different just because their father is University pres­ident, she said.

"People expect me to be smarter," Anne groaned.

The Scales family moved in­to the official President's home just before he opening of fall semester, 1967. They came from Oklahoma State Univer­sity where Scales was dean of the college of arts and sciences.

Anne finds life as the daugh­ter of Wake Forest's President different in many ways from life in Oklahoma. The Univer­sity, she said, is more liberal than OBU. "This is a Bap­tist school where the Bap­tists don't have much to say."

And her parents are busier than ever before. Last week Anne was staying with a friend while the Scales were in Wil­liamsburg, Va.

But she doesn't really mind her father's prominence. Es­pecially on days like today.

for the next four years. A scholarly. modest Christian gentleman. J;e sought to gain support from the Baptist churches throughout the state for the young inslrtute.

When Hooper re:;igned at the end of l!l.JB. Professor John Brown White, a Northerner, was elevated to the presi­dl'ncy. Despite the ominous douds of section<Jl unrest be­tween the North ancl the South. Wake Forest continued to grow. and under White. en­rollment reached more than 100.

As the North-South conflict became more pronoW1ced. the fact that White was a Norther­ner brought him under more and more criticism. In 1853 he resigned and the next year Dr. Washington M. Wingate became president.

Wingate was a weU-known Baptist preacher. Someone has said that Dr. Wingate's deeply rooted Christian faith gaYe him the courage to lead the University through the Ci\"il War a!KI the reconstruc­tion days. He died in office in 1879 after a llietime of ser­vice to Wake Forest.

Dr. Thomas H. Pritchard, a North Carolinian and a grad­uate of the University. follow­ed Wingate. He· traveled the state. espousing the cause of improvements in the school plant.

In 1882 he resigned to accept a call to preach in Louisville, Ky. For a period of two years afterwards. there was no president. In this interim Dr. William B. Royall served as chairman of the faculty.

ried to protect a king. As the years passed it became in· creasingly decorative and evolved into a symbol of of­fice.

All English and many Amer­ican universities have a mace, says Dr. John E. Davis, pro­fessor of biDlogy, whooe idea it was for the University to have one. As grand marshal, Davis will carry the mace at the inauguration.

The Wake Forest mace is shaped f~om a single sheet of silver into a fDrm which re­sembles three connected balls. On its gold~plated sUJ1face are etchings which typify the Uni· versity.

The present campus is rep­resented on the center and largest sphere with etch· ings of Wait Chapel, Reynolda Hall, an arch at an entrance to the campus and the cupola on Z. Smith Reynolds Library.

The top sphere has pictures from the old campus: the ori­ginal Wait Hall, Lea Labora­tory, the Old Welil, and a bust of Samuel Wait, the Univer­sity' s first :presiden:t. On the bottom sphere are panoramas of the medical school, tht': law school, and the skytline r,f Winston-Salem. EaiCh section is separated by raised draw­ings of magnolias.

Topping the mace is a dou­ble-cast seat of the University. Its die will be used as a mold for all medallions of merit which the University will pre­sent in the future.

The die was used also to cast a gold-plated presidential medallion which the University President wiH wear at all aca­demic affairs and bronze medallions which will be worn by members of the Board of Trustees.

The mace was manufactur­ed by Arnold A. Schiffman, Greensboro jewelry designer. The working drawings were done by David Abrahams, an English artis,t who now lives in New York.

Poteat led tbe University in its famous fight with the Bap­tist State Convention for the right to teaC'h evolution at the institution. His successful fight preserved academic freedom at tfle University and, in addiition, save the Univer­sity of North Carolina from a similar fight for evolution in the General Assembly at the same time.

When Poteat stepped down in 1927, Dr. Franci~ P. Gaines was named to the position. He resigned, however, in 1930 to accept the same position at Washington and Lee Univer­sity.

Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, a medical doctor and head of tJhe University's medical school succeeded Games.

Since the tum of the cen­tury the CoHege had h:ad a two-year medical college.· In 1939, months of negotiation· came to a head when Wake Forest obtained a ntillio!Wfol­Iar fund to establis1Ji the Bow­man Gr.ay School of Medicine of Wake Forest CoHege at Winston-Salem.

Wartime Decreases

With Pearl Harbor the bot­tom dropped out. EnroN:rnent skidded to 310. Kitcilin worked almDst alone and obtained a contract setting up an Anny Finance School at the Col­lege in August, 1942, which was the only thing that kept Wake Forest from closing its doors during the war-.

In the same significant year the CoHege and the Baptist State Convention voted to ad" mit girls of junior and senior standing to Wake Forest. Two yearsr later the dOOI'I was open· ed to freshmen and sophomore gi:r.ls.

1946 was the year of the big decision. The Z. Smith Rey­nDlds Foundation offered to pay the College up to $350,000 annua!l:ly. The proposal car­ried one stipUI:ation: that friends of the Colege provide necessary build,ings to house the College on a QeW campus near Winston-8a:lem.

'11he offer was· approved ove!'Whelmingly by the· Bap­tist State Corwention and Wake Eoriiit C6Mege was off on one of its greatest adventures.

Dr. Harold W. Tribble 8UC­ceeded Kitchin in September, 1950. The intervening years have undoubtedly been the stormiest and most progresr­sive period in the College's histoey.

Tribble's admitllistration will be rerne.mbe1-ed primarily as the time Wake Forest moved from the tiny town in Wake County to a new campus in Winston-Salem valued at more than $26 million.

Alumni Fights

But it was also a period Wlhich saw marked aead~Stt~ic advances as weil as running fights with. alumni who became disaffected and with certain segments of the convention who felt the Colrlege was stray­ing from Baptist tradition.

Figures released by the Col­lege's. busines~S~ <t-filce show that uncrer Tribble's hand t~ tal assets of the College in·

creased from $10,454,000 to $91,267,000.

Also, diuring Tribble's ad­~tration the student bodY mcreased from 1,750 to over 3,000 and there W!aS an even greater increase in the facul­ty. The Coliiege tightened ad­mission standards, admitted its first Negroes, resumed a graduate progl'am, inaugura­ted an Asian studies program and an honors program for the partieuil.arly bri$t student.

Faculty &alaries iocreased about two and: a half times smce 1950. The library opera-

ting budget grew from $40,-710 to $532,000, and the num­ber of volumes tripled:, going from 109,()92 to 340,026. Forty per cent of the faculty held the Ph.D degree in 1950 and 70 per cent do now.

In June, Harold W. Tribble retired •as president of Wake Forest. His retirement not only ends his term as president, but also ends the line of presi­dents of Wake Forest College.

The new president, Dr. James Ralph Scales, is the firs,t president of Wake Fo­rest University.
