Barber stated, “This is a man who has been a part of Elon for more than 60 years (in 2010) and generations of students know him as ‘Dr. D.’” Barber interviewed and followed Dr. Danieley at events that included: Dr. D. walking into McMichael Science building; “You have to have a passion for the subject that you are teaching, stated ‘Dr. D.;’” see Dr. Danieley teaching; heard the Alamance Bell ringing; Danieley welcomed new students and families; and old photos of Elon College and Dr. Danieley as Elon President. In addition, Danieley brought Elon College national recognition with speakers such as Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson (D-TX) and Congressman Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr., (R-MI). Barber conducted a Danieley interview with the O’Kelly Monument in the background. The two had a conversation about Danieley’s welcoming of the first African-American student in 1965 (Eugene Perry, Class of 1969). Also, Danieley started the 4 – 1 – 4 semester to assist struggling students to focus on one class in January, known as Winter Term. In the 1970’s, Danieley added women’s athletics. Danieley’s leadership style was described as the ‘boss.’ Jo Watts Williams stated, “I was Dr. Danieley’s student and then worked in the president’s office with him.” Danieley spoke of the social and political protest times of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Jo Watts Williams spoke of how Elon College students were protesting and were planning to take over Dr. Danieley’s home, instead he (Danieley) joined the protest march.
