Ferrum Davies president faces reinstatement bid after campus incident
A Marine led Ferrum College president on March 17 following a run in on campus. Layton sought a court order for reinstatement but it was denied to the veteran.

The article also notes Mrs. Davies’ Easter egg collection tied to Faberge pieces acquired during 1926 to 1939 amid Russia’s upheavals and the later relaxation of wartime treasure controls.
