WHEREAS, the untimely passing of Henry L.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of
the University of North Carolina:

That in the death of Henry L. Ingram on February 21, 1943, not only
the Board of Trustees of the University, but the State of North Carolina
and a host of its citizens experienced a great loss and we do express our
highest appreciation of him as a citizen, and as a member of the Board
of Trustees.

HENRY L. INGRAM was born at Farmer, North Carolina, on April 10,
1898. After completing his high school work he entered the University
at Chapel Hill in 1915, where he remained until was was declared. When
this country entered the war on April 6, 1917, he volunteered for service
and served his country with distinction in the Seventh and Eighty-first
Divisions. When the war ended, he had been commissioned a Captain.

Returning to his home State, he established himself in Asheboro,
where he married Miss De Ette Bennett on Jnne 14, 1922, and where he
became active in business, civic, and political affairs. He was a member
of the Dixon Post of the American Legion at Asheboro and served as its
Post Commander and in other official capacities. He was elected Depart­
ment Commander of the American Legion for the State of North Carolina
on June 23, 1942, and served in this capacity until he died.

Engaged in the oil and gas business, Senator Ingram found time to
enter actively into the affairs of his home area, and has served two terms
in the North Carolina Senate. He was an ardent and loyal supporter of the
University and during his legislative experience befriended the University
whenever an opportunity presented itself.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be furnished
to his devoted wife and members of his family and also that the public press
be given an opportunity to present it to the public.

Respectfully submitted,
