Ralph H. Graves, native of Chapel Hill and alumnus of the University, and Mrs. Graves were seriously—but, as it turned out, not dangerously—injured in an automobile accident in the suburb of Washinton a few days ago. They were about ten steps from a taxicab standing beside the curb when a car, speeding downhill, smashed into them. Both were taken to the Emergency Hospital It was found that Mrs. Graves’ leg had been broken, and she will have to stay in the hospital from two to three months. Mr. Graves suffered no broken bones but was bruised painfully in several places. He writes to members of his family here that he expects to go back, before long, to his desk at the Doubleday-Page offices on Long Island. Mr. Graves graduated from the University in 1897, and for two years after that, until he went to New York in 1899, was the University librarian. Mrs. Graves was Miss Frances Griffith of Charlotte.
