Publisher's Synopsis
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.
