  • SURVEY NUMBER A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Vol. VI Cullowhee, North Carolina, February 1, 1929 Cullowhee Normal Holds"A"Rating as Junior Tea. College One of the most significant marks of progress of the Cullowhee Normal under President Hunter's administration has been the classification of the institution in the American Association of Teachers Colleges as a Junior Teachers' College of the highest rating "A". This classification was obtained a little less than a year ago, at which time the School showed to have three permissible deficiencies, which should be removed within the maximum time of three years. These deficiencies were listed as follows: library and laboratory equipment, training of Normal School faculty, and insufficient standards in Training School faculty and equipment. President Hunter has been initiat- (Continued on page 5) HON. A. W. McLEAN Who, as Governor, inaugurated the State Budget System, which, as President Hunter shows in his five- year summary, has contributed to economy and efficiency in the administration of the financial affairs at Cullowhee. A Word of Tribute to The Board of Trustees The function of the Board of Trusts is a most vital one, and not too ">uch can be said in praise of our B°ard members. President Hunter says that he can not say enough with reference to the spirit of harmony .and °f good will which has prevailed am°ng the membership of his Board, specially Since he considers the la- rs of those who serve on boards of (Continued on page 5) Cullowhee Yodelers Add Victories From Boone and Mars Hil Coach Plemmons left Cullowhee Monday, the 28th, with ten of his select men for a two day whirlwind trip, which resulted in adding the Appalachian State Normal at Boone and Mars Hill College to Cullowhee's victims. The players making the trip were Wilson, Watson, Rogers, Fincannon, Henry, Battle, Buckner, Boyd, Moore, and Cope, Manager. The first game played at Boone on the 28th was marked by fast team work and strong defense. Boone took the lead with two field goals but the Yodelers soon gained their balance, and set the pace for a hard fight. The strong defensive work proved too much for Cullowhee's opponents and forced them to resort to long and un- (Continued on page 3) PRESIDENT H. T. HUNTER Since President Hunter's first arrival in Cullowhee in the summer of 1923 to assume his official duties as head of the School, he has never ceased to work untiringly for the institution. Upon his becoming president, he was immediately confronted with difficulties and perplexing problems that would have discouraged the stoutest heart, but he never lost faith nor gave up his enthusiasm. He rapidly acquainted himself with the new situation and began to outline a constructive program of work. He caught a vision of the possibilities of Cullowhee, which has guided him and lead him on toward the accomplishment of his ideals. A glance at his previous training and experience will show that he had thoroughly qualified himself for the task he assumed. After graduating from Mars Hill College, in 1908, he entered Wake Forest, from which institution he received the A.B. degree, in 1912. He later did graduate work at Teachers' College, Columbia University, and was awarded the M.A. degree in 1917. He spent the year 1921-22 in advanced study in the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University, and received the degree of Ed.M. from there in 1922. He also completed his residence requirements for the Doctor's degree. He taught for four years in the (Continued on page 5) FINANCIAL SUMMARY OF CULLOWHEE FOR FIVE-YEAR PERIOD, 1923-1928 Report Shows a Saving of State's Money and Efficient Handling of Funds. It is believed that the general public is interested in the financial support and distribution of funds alloted to our institutions, receiving direct appropriations from the State. However, such data are not usually given in such concise form that the average reader would have the time or disposition to aquaint himself with the details. With President Hunter's permission, we are submitting below a brief summary of the receipts and expenditures for the Cullowhee State Normal for the five-year period, 1923-28, taken from his Annual Report just from the press. You will note that the summary shows (Continued on page 6) HON. CAMERON MORRISON Governor of North Carolina when the greatest appropriation in the history of Cullowhee was made.
