Excerpt from Quips and Cranks-1934: Published by the Senior Class of Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina This greeting comes from the Trustees of Davidson College to all those who have the welfare of quips and cranks at heart. I have been a trustee of Davidson now for more than forty years and have had an opportunity to see Davidson grow in the love and esteem of her'many friends who cherish her great traditions. Quips and cranks is a worthy medium through which the optimistic spirit of Davidson is poured out. And in which the high standard of efficiency and the versatility of her activities are revealed. A graduate who takes this book with him when he leaves the college has a constant reminder of what Davidson was like when he walked the campus as a student.

Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1928, Vol. 31: Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina In 1854 Davidson was a small but bravely struggling college, and in his five years of active connection with the school, Hill played no small part in its growth. He served as Professor of Mathematics and also introduced a demerit system similar to that used in military schools. Although it did not meet with great favor among the students, it was efficient in preserving order and discipline. Major Hill wrote a valuable textbook in algebra during this period.

Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, Vol. 3: Davidson College, North Carolina, 1898 I rubbed my eyes and coughed to dispel what appeared to me to be an optical delusion, but it remained in the same place.

Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1941, Vol. 44 And then you were a senior. This time completely bewildered by the suddenness with which the years had gone - and inwardly frightened by the prospect of facing a cold and hostile world. Consequently you took advan tage of those few remaining sheltered days. Bull-sessions on the front porch of Georgia. Visiting the professors whom at last you had come to know and admire. Going to every dance. Week-ends with fellow seniors. Taking part in stu dent afiairs. Controlling student opinion unconsciously for better or worse with these was passed your last year at Davidson. And the results? As yet we do not fully know but we do feel and recognize the influence of Davidson in our every act. From her we have received the principles of character which will last us through life, Associations with students and faculty have been a priceless heritage to every Davidson man. One that cannot be surpassed at any college. And so. In future years we hope that this book will help you remember. Wherever you are and what ever you do. You'll always be davidson college.

Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1913, Vol. 16 Arry is burdened down with his responsibilities; and why should he not be? Does he not have to pose as the model of dignity for the Alley? Is he not called upon to represent before the eyes of an ignorant student body that worthy educational institution, the Elise High School? IS he not a great tennis player. And the owner of Hemp's hand somest sweater? So all told. Arry has an important part to play on the campus. And he is playing it well. Lut he can descend front his dignity enough to play good football, and has caused many a lower classman a pang of fear for their laurels during the class series. He does not neglect his books. Either; and if Hemp does not watch out she will have to entertain a sweet boy - graduate in May, whose head will be larger than the town itself.

Excerpt from Quips and Cranks, 1907, Vol. 10 Great as have been his achievements, Mr. Watts has shown himself to be greater still in his recognition of the great advantage wealth gives when used properly. He has so dispensed large sums of money to institutions in North Carolina and Virginia, that his generosity has benefited a larger number of individuals, perhaps, than any other benefactor today. The name of Watts is perpetuated on such campuses as Davidson College, Elizabeth College, and Union Theological Seminary by handsome and modernly equipped build ings which are indispensable to the wide usefulness of these several institu tions. Besides, he gave a magnificent Hospital to his home city and has always been on the alert to bestow the blessings of his means on needy humanity. Such has been Mr. Watts' successful career and such his broad and generous appreciation of his unlimited opportunities for doing good. North Carolina may justly feel proud to call him her citizen.
