the brown and white reporter pored over the 1,312 undergraduate and 226 fac ulty names listed in the new uni versity directory and tabulated his findings the first thing he noticed was that for the 1,312 undergraduates listed there were only 949 surnames listed in the directory as is usually the case there are more smiths listed than any other name in the present directory there are 12 of them no two of whom have the same home addess the miller's come a close second nine men answering here when the name is called in the univer sity roll and eight men answer to davis six coopers in list six men answer when either cooper or taylor or williams is called and there are 23 groups of three men and 108 groups of two students who have the same last names the fact that many last names are derived from occupational class ifications is illustrated by this list — bishop parsons shepard baker brewer cook miller smith pot ter wagoner taylor cooper wheeler and porter other similar derivations are indicated by dean provost duke king jester squier marshall danser and singer presidents represented seven men on the campus carry names of former presidents of the united states — pierce taylor lin
