Thurs. and Fri., Jan. 21-22 Dr. R. H. Taylor FACULTY SPOTLIGHT By FRED WAMSLEY Dr. Rosser Taylor is no stranger here at WCC, having come here in 1947 to take over duties as head of the Social Science Department. Prior to coming here, Dr. Taylor, who received his B.A. degree at Wake Forest College, his M.A. at the University of North Carolina, and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, taught at The Citadel, Furman and the University of North Carolina. Dr. Taylor has done much in the way of research writing and has excelled in the history of the Old South. Some of his more notable writings are:" Ante-Bellum South Carolina: A Social and Cultural History" (The James Sprunt Studies in History and Political Science), Chapel Hill, 1942 and "Slaveholding in North Carolina: An Economic View" (The James Sprunt Historical Publication), Chapel Hill 1926. "Letters Dealing with the Secession Movement in South Carolina," "Bulletin" of Furman University, Greenville, S. C, December, 1934. "Boyce-Ham- mond Correspondence," (editor), "The Journal of Southern History," August, 1937. Probably Dr. Taylor's greatest interest other than teaching is the museum which is located on the third floor of the Stillwell Building. The museum, sponsored by the Social Science Department, has a variety of antiques which depict frontier life in Western North Carolina. It is slowly but surely expanding. Its latest acquisition is a cradle for wheat cutting, donated by Charles Denny of Pilot Mountain, N. C. Dr. Taylor is looking for additional items to add to the collection. He is especially in adequate support. We have a good team this year, and we are proud of it, but just how are we going to let the team know that we are behind them? One answer—YELL like Hell.
