| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 2nd edition, 1996, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 210: Any definition of the Auburn Spirit would of necessity include these blithe characters, Katharine C. Cater and James E. Foy, shown pedaling on campus in 1967 after the University bought a few bicycles-built-for-two for student recreation. Deans Cater and Foy were among the most popular faculty members with students during their long tenures. She served as dean of women from 1946 to 1976, then almost four years as dean of student life and social director. Dean Cater became one of the few University employees to have a building named in her honor when in 1980, a few months before her death, she attended ceremonies during which the Social Center became Katharine Cooper Cater Hall. Foy served as dean of student affairs from 1950 until his retirement in 1978. The Student Union promptly was renamed James E. Foy Union. Two years after going to Montgomery to serve in Governor Fob James's administration, Foy and his wife, Emmalu, were back in Auburn, engaged in affairs of Phi Eta Sigma national freshman scholastic honor society. Foy served as national secretary or national secretary-treasurer from 1953 through 1992. Mrs. Foy served as local office manager. Photo source: Emmalu Foy.
