day, according to the best available
information at the time these lines
are written, though that date cannot
be stated as absolutely definite.
Mr. Woollen was the club" around
which all activities at the University
turned. according to one experienced
observer of University affairs. He was
the coordinator of the various phases
of University activity His job was to
see that business affairs, academic
activ ties, and all other agencies func-
tione smoothly and without friction,
the o. against the other.
The job he performed to the very
fullest extent, all who are familiar
with his work are agreed.
In addition, he had extra-curricula
tasks to perform, such, for example,
as acting as a sort of balance wheel
for the president.
One high State official, who would
not permit his name to be used said :
you know, for all his fine qualities
Frank Graham is often a bit flighty;
Charlie Wcollen quite often kept the
Graham head out of the clouds and
the Graham feet on the ground
Another official described the late
comptroller as the greatest Iocater
of loose money ever associated with
the University or any other zNorth
Carolina institution
Mr.. Woollen could, this official con-
tinued, find more people willing to
contribute TO University activities
than could possibly be expected.
The comptroller is generally credit
ed with far more than meagre
share of credit for erection of the new
gymnasium over at Chapel Hill, a
structure which was named for him.
"That was a fitting tribute and one
which it is fortunate was bestowed
upon him before his DEATH, Attor-
ney General Harry MCMILLAN told
your correspondent.
In still another quarter it was es-
timated. that Mr.. Woollen was worth
ga million dollars a year to the Uni
versity" by reason of his ability to

prevail upon legislators to grant APP
preparations asked for by the Univer-
sity authorities.
1--WE often seen President Graham
before a legislative committee actual
" crying sorMfunds for the Univer-
sity," said this source. At the same
time Charlie Woollen could be seen
quietly circulating among the COM
mittee members, with q word here
and a word there his only seeming
contribution to the events. But know
for a fact that granting OF the ap-
preparations asked was often brought
about more by the few Woollen words
than by the presidential appeal"
Governor Clyde r. Hoey's high OPP
inion was revealed in the brief state
ment made Immediately after Mr..
Woollen's- death:
'"Charlie Woollen had become an in
stitution within himself and he typl-
fled the best at Chapel Hill. His SER
vice was so efficient and unselfish
that it was easily recognized as
real part of University life, and his
wisdom and foresight contributed ire
mendously. to the forward strides
made by this great institution over
long period of years"
1t will be hard, indeed, to replace
him. w
