Wilson to Take Over University Press This July; Succeeds Scaife

Thomas J. Wilson will assume directorship of the University Press beginning July 1, the University announced last night. He succeeds Roger Scaife '97, present director and chairman of the Press' Board of Syndics.

Wilson's appointment follows a year as director of the University of North Carolina press, preceded by four years' service aboard the carrier Enterprise and in the Bureau of Aeronautics in Washington.

Upon graduation from the University of North Carolina in 1921, Wilson spent three years at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar, receiving his Ph.D. in 1927. After returning to this country, he taught Romance languages for two years at North Carolina, followed by 13 years of editorial work with Henry Hall and Company, and Reynal and Hitchcock.
